Chapter 150
Just as Xu Jiujiu and Zhang Lexuan were "negotiating," Shu Yan also slowly opened his eyes in the Princess's Mansion.
He didn't enter a state of deep meditation this time. He had noticed the commotion when Xu Jiujiu took the Nebula Douluo out of the Princess's Mansion, but he was busy checking his transformed spiritual sea and didn't choose to accompany Xu Jiujiu.
Of course, he could guess what exactly could make Xu Jiujiu leave the Princess's Mansion so hurriedly. After thinking about it, Shu Yan stood up, casually instructed Dugu Yan, who was serving not far away, and his figure disappeared straight away, leaving Dugu Yan, who was still a bit confused, in place.
After arriving in Star Luo City, the Nebula Douluo first let a few old people in the palace teach her some simple court etiquette. She was Xu Jiujiu's personal maid, so even if she wasn't proficient in these things, she had to learn some. This naturally couldn't be avoided.
Now, she had taken over the position of General Manager of the Princess's Mansion's maids, and she was doing it smoothly, becoming more and more accustomed to this position and its main responsibilities.
On the road outside the Princess's Mansion, before Shu Yan could step out of the palace gate, he sensed a familiar aura chasing toward him from afar. A green light shadow arrived in front of him in an instant—it was the Ice Emperor.
The little loli, who was only at Shu Yan's chest height, hugged Shu Yan's arm. A feeling of softness and coolness struck him instantly. The Ice Emperor looked at Shu Yan with eyes that seemed to have light in them. She chuckled and said:
"Where are you going? Take this Emperor with you. Xue'er isn't here, and I don't know what to do alone. Shu Yan, keep me company..."
When she said this, the green long hair tied into twin tails behind the Ice Emperor swayed, inexplicably giving a sense of a younger sister acting coquettishly.
Shu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and rubbed the Ice Emperor's little head straight away. The Ice Emperor was already used to it, just glared at Shu Yan with slight dissatisfaction, then tidied up the hair that had been messed up by Shu Yan.
"I'm not planning to do anything, just going out of the palace for a walk. Want to come along?"
Shu Yan asked softly.
The Ice Emperor's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, then pulled Shu Yan's hand and walked out bouncing and hopping.
Shu Yan found it a bit funny, but let the Ice Emperor be.
It could be seen that when the Snow Emperor wasn't there, this girl was indeed a bit too bored alone. But this was also easy to understand; the Ice Emperor only revealed part of her true nature in front of Shu Yan and the others. At other times, she was still that cold, arrogant image that despised everything.
On the bustling street, Shu Yan pulled the Ice Emperor, who was laughing until she was out of breath, through the crowd quickly. His expression was a bit stiff and twisted, and at the same time, he had a feeling of powerlessness as if he had eaten shit.
The Ice Emperor squatted on the ground holding her little belly and couldn't stop laughing, saying intermittently: "Shu Yan, I didn't see it, you... you are really quite popular..."
As she spoke, there was another burst of crisp laughter full of sarcasm.
"Shut up!"
Shu Yan rubbed his eyebrows. He really didn't expect the folk customs of Star Luo City to be so fierce. Just now, he and the Ice Emperor were bickering daily while walking toward Star Luo Square, but as a result, three big men walked toward them aggressively. He originally thought they were looking for trouble, but as a result, the first sentence the leading big man said almost made Shu Yan's CPU smoke.
"Yue?" Shu Yan had thought of countless possibilities, but never this one. After giving each of the three a kick, Shu Yan decisively took the Ice Emperor, who was almost laughing until she had a stitch, and left that place of right and wrong. This episode didn't cause any substantial harm, but it caused a certain degree of psychological damage to Shu Yan. He knew that with the Ice Emperor's personality, this matter couldn't be hidden from Xu Jiujiu and the Snow Emperor and the others. A stain that could never be wiped away had been added to his glorious past! At this moment, Shu Yan just wanted to roar at the sky: "Pain! Too painful!"
The Ice Emperor pulled Shu Yan's arm, her face, which had always been cold, was now full of smiles, bright and flamboyant—a style completely different from usual, making people look at her involuntarily.
Shu Yan pinched her cheeks hard, which finally made her stop laughing. Shu Yan sighed lightly, touched his heart, and said helplessly: "Ice Emperor, are we still good friends?"
The Ice Emperor shook her head with a smile and then said: "No. But if you can call out a few nice sounds, I can consider telling Xue'er and Jiujiu two days later, letting them laugh at you later..."
Shu Yan made a heartbroken look and continued to hold his heart:
"Ice Emperor! You've changed, and the feelings between us have faded!"
The Ice Emperor's smile flowed, and she subconsciously took Shu Yan's hand and continued to walk forward, while letting the other party's fair and slender palms wrap around her little hands. The palms of the two clearly had a cool feeling, but after being put together, they inexplicably became warm.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. Aren't you going to find Jiujiu and the others? Let's go, and take this Emperor to get some air by the way..."
Shu Yan pinched the Ice Emperor's little hand, then guided the other party's five fingers to gradually cross and hold his own. Looking at the Ice Emperor's pretty back, the smile on Shu Yan's face was meaningful.
Whether she was pretending to be confused or didn't understand at all, Shu Yan was too lazy to dwell on it. However! In order to prevent the sadness and disappointment that might appear after the Snow Emperor rejected her in the future, he might as well let him turn the two sisters into real sisters in advance.
Shu Yan had already thought about what to say...
Ice Emperor, you wouldn't want the Snow Emperor to know about what happened between us, would you...
Ahem, a bit off-topic...
The two walked across the large Star Luo Square with their fingers intertwined. Passersby kept casting envious or amazing gazes. Shu Yan felt a trace of shyness hidden deep within the Ice Emperor, but he didn't point it out directly, instead pretending to be confused along with the Ice Emperor.
The Ice Emperor was not as rational as the Snow Emperor in terms of feelings. The Snow Emperor could see through her own heart very clearly, while the Ice Emperor had some difficulties with this. However, Shu Yan had plenty of time to let her see the reality, and then see through her own heart. Their hands were already held; would the next step be far away? The answer is definitely no. If the Ice Emperor couldn't see the reality and liked to pretend to be confused, then Shu Yan would give her the right to pretend to be confused, and cooperate with her to act. When the Ice Emperor came back to her senses later, everything would be too late...
When Shu Yan and the Ice Emperor walked past like a couple in the middle of a hot romance, in the distance, the white-haired woman who had appeared in Shrek City clenched her fists inexplicably, and the body hidden in the shadows also began to tremble slightly.
Behind the white-haired woman, Su Yun, the Titled Douluo who had been quietly following Zhang Lexuan and the other three, couldn't help but look shocked and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.
The white-haired woman looked at the direction the two left, pressed the bamboo hat on her head, and then followed quickly. Su Yun opened her mouth several times, but said nothing, and finally had to chase after them hurriedly...
