Chapter 151

~14 min read 2,708 words

Walking past the corner of the street, the Ice Emperor pulled Shu Yan toward the Star Emperor Hotel. The two walked and stopped, bickering from time to time—it was completely a normal couple's way of getting along.

Su Yun followed behind the white-haired woman. She didn't know why she was always a bit nervous, her lips tightly pursed uncontrollably. As an existence similar to a shadow guard, she always had a unique sense of danger, but the white-haired woman's attitude was firm and didn't allow others to refute, so she was a bit helpless and could only pray that no accidents would happen.

On the other side, the Ice Emperor looked straight ahead, glanced lightly at the back with the corner of her eyes, and then said: "You didn't sense the two people behind, did you?"

Shu Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "In theory, my spiritual power is a bit stronger than yours."

Ice Emperor: "..."

Well, she was hit.

After forcibly breaking free from Shu Yan's hand, she gave a light huff and then said:

"So what?"

"Your spiritual power is between a level 98 Super Douluo and a Limit Douluo, which can only be said to be barely stepping into the limit realm. At most, the quantity is a bit more than this Emperor's. If it's really about application, you are no different from a novice in front of this Emperor."

Shu Yan glanced at the Ice Emperor strangely and said with a laugh: "I absorbed a 500,000-year Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King brain external soul bone last time. Not only did I inherit the pure spiritual power accumulated by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King for ten thousand years, but I also obtained the way the Blood Bat clan uses spiritual power. There are also many skills in necromancy that can be performed with spiritual power, which I am also learning recently. Plus, I have the Space Origin right leg bone. After initially merging spatial power with spiritual power, I have also gained quite a lot..."

The Ice Emperor reached out her hand to block Shu Yan's mouth, acting crazy, and said:

"Stop talking! This Emperor knows you are very perverted, okay? Really, you are really annoying like this, making it seem like this Emperor is inferior to you everywhere, stinky Shu Yan... stinky Shu Yan..."

After a bout of playfulness, the Ice Emperor asked curiously: "500,000-year Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King? Are there still such powerful soul beasts on the continent? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Shu Yan said helplessly: "The continent is so big, and you haven't traveled to every corner of the continent. Who knows what powerful existences are hidden somewhere? Even Di Tian probably encountered a lot of trouble when he traveled the continent in the past. You, use your brain more. Sometimes existing cognition is your biggest misunderstanding."

The Ice Emperor said "Oh," glared at Shu Yan hatefully. She was incomparably envious of the other party's luck. Sometimes she really wanted to open Shu Yan's head to see what was inside...

Behind, Su Tong kept a distance of nearly a hundred meters from the two with her bamboo hat on. Su Yun looked hesitant, but always followed behind her, walking all the way toward the Star Emperor Hotel.

The purpose of their coming out this time was more to relax, and at the same time let their Miss walk more places, comprehend more local customs, and also hope that she could change her proud and strong personality in this process.

But the result was obvious. Not only did none of the original goals succeed, but it ended up being linked to another taboo matter in the clan. For this reason, the two even traveled thousands of miles to Star Luo City, which was not in the original itinerary.

There were less than five days left before the family elders stipulated that they return. Su Yun felt inexplicably aggrieved. Su Tong was the most key descendant cultivated by the family, so naturally, she would at most be criticized. But she was different. As an existence similar to a shadow guard, the best case was to be criticized, and the worst case was definitely a scolding education.

However, did she dare to defy Su Tong's order? The answer is obvious. Just like her own personality, gentle, compliant, and easy-going. Su Tong specifically chose her as her guardian because she liked this personality and style of conduct.

When the two walked past a street corner again, they found that Shu Yan and the Ice Emperor were gone from the crowded street.

Su Yun's intuition for danger made her tremble all over, and she subconsciously grabbed Su Tong's arm. But before she could speak, she felt a spin of heaven and earth, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that she had arrived in a magnificent hall.

Chen Yin looked at the four people who appeared suddenly. His original thoughts were interrupted straight away. His body became tense in an instant. Just as he was about to block the hall door, he saw Shu Yan's face, which was somewhat unfamiliar but seemed to have been seen before.

"He is..."

Chen Yin was suddenly startled, then hurriedly stopped the hotel waiter on the side. To be a waiter at the Star Emperor Hotel, one either had to have an outstanding appearance or have cultivation above the Soul Ancestor level. They could not see the situation clearly, but Chen Yin absolutely could not. He whispered a few words, then hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, bowed and said: "Young Master, Her Highness the Princess is in the hall, please..."

Shu Yan was a bit surprised. He had some impression of Chen Yin, but didn't expect the other party to remember him.

His gaze swept over Su Yun, who was tense and protecting the woman in the bamboo hat behind her, and then said:

"Everyone go out or wait on other floors. We have some important matters to deal with."

"Yes..."

Chen Yin hurriedly responded, then took a group of waiters and left hurriedly, then closed the hotel door.

The hall returned to silence. The Ice Emperor stared coldly at Su Yun and the other from the side. Her gaze seemed to carry endless pressure, making cold sweat appear on Su Yun's forehead. Her regret at this moment almost condensed into substance. If she had known, she should have stopped her Miss earlier. Now it was fine—they followed for a long time, but it turned out that the person they followed was a powerhouse whose cultivation was far beyond hers. Thinking of their previous actions, it was no different from a clown.

Shu Yan scanned the two. In his perception, the cultivation of this Titled Douluo was about level 92, and the woman protected behind her was at the Soul King level. She had many high-level soul tools for shielding aura or defense, but in Shu Yan's eyes, the role of these soul tools was not that obvious. At least, Shu Yan could clearly perceive the familiar aura on her.

Shu Yan approached step by step. Su Yun was forced to retreat step by step. She was confused and didn't understand why such a young man would give her such strong pressure. But before she could react, Shu Yan had already teleported behind her.

Su Yun was startled. Before she could stop him, a thin ice thorn had already reached her neck. Not far away, the Ice Emperor said playfully: "Don't move around. If it weren't for the fact that you two are not like those guys who like to sneak attacks from behind and have no malice, otherwise, you would have gone to another world long ago."

Su Yun swallowed her saliva, and the soul power she had mobilized slowly unloaded. She could feel that if she moved again, the other party would really kill her.

Shu Yan came to the white-haired woman wearing the bamboo hat and lifted the bamboo hat wrapped in a layer of white gauze straight away. A cold, arrogant, and beautiful face came into view. Even if he had some premonition, Shu Yan still felt his heart tremble.

The Ice Emperor also sat up suddenly, looking at Su Tong's face in a daze. She rubbed her eyes, then walked a few steps quickly and came to Shu Yan's side.

"She... how does she look so much like... you?"

The Ice Emperor said with difficulty. Su Tong's appearance had similarities to Shu Yan that could be identified at a glance, and the aura and movements in Su Tong's every move also had the shadow of the Snow Emperor, especially that cold and arrogant aura, which was exactly the same. Shu Yan was silent for a moment and then said: "The reason is very simple. Her martial soul is also the Ice Sky Snow Woman, and it can even be said that she comes from the same lineage as me. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a connection between us, right?"

Su Tong ignored the gazes of the Ice Emperor and Su Yun. She just stared blankly at Shu Yan. The next moment, several streams of light fell off her body and flew into her storage soul tool automatically. That familiar aura permeated. The Ice Emperor's pupils shook, and her eyes kept scanning back and forth between the two. The shock in her eyes became more and more intense, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

No emotion could be seen in Shu Yan's gaze. Su Tong pursed her dry lips, stared at Shu Yan for a long time, and then her eyes suddenly trembled a few times before she said:

"You are my younger brother, my own younger brother, the younger brother I have been looking for for more than ten years. I'm not joking. You can verify the bloodline in our bodies. The bloodline connection between blood relatives is ultimately different. I didn't lie to you."

As she spoke, Su Tong took the initiative to condense a drop of essence blood and sent it to Shu Yan.

Shu Yan looked at the bright red blood and didn't reach out to take it. His spiritual power was too powerful. After Su Tong took the initiative to put away those high-level soul tools, he probably already had a bottom line in his heart.

Su Tong... Shu Yan... Shu Yan? The name Shu Yan was taken by the person who sent him to the welfare institution at that time. If it was really said like this, the pronunciation of his current surname and the pronunciation of his original surname were almost the same. Whether this was done by someone on purpose or by fate, too much time had passed, and everything was untraceable.

Seeing Shu Yan silent, the cold phoenix eyes that looked indifferent suddenly revealed a hint of rich sorrow and attachment. She took a deep breath and continued: "If you want to know, I can tell you your life experience and why you were left outside."

Shu Yan looked at the heavy door that had been opened from the inside, then shook his head gently at Xu Jiujiu, signaling her not to come over. Then, he paused and said softly:

"Don't resist, let's go to another place to talk."

Su Tong's gaze flowed over Xu Jiujiu and the others, and she nodded without any hesitation, then followed Shu Yan's footsteps. With a silver light, the two disappeared from the spot instantly.

Xu Jiujiu opened her mouth, and the hand that had been raised in mid-air slowly retracted. She looked at the Ice Emperor, who was also full of conflict and confusion while holding Su Yun, and then asked softly: "Sister Bingbing, what... what happened?"

"Who is that woman? A-Yan looks a bit wrong..."

Except for Shu Yan himself, Xu Jiujiu was the person who understood Shu Yan best. She could clearly perceive the emotional changes in Shu Yan, and even more so, the state of his mood at this moment was indescribable, which made her feel a bit panicked.

"This..."

The Ice Emperor scratched her head and said with some distress:

"That... Jiujiu, that woman... it is said, should... maybe... probably be Shu Yan's own sister...? They seem to have some private matters about Shu Yan's life experience to talk about. Don't worry, Shu Yan is such a rational person, let's just wait for him to come back..."

"Own sister!?"

Xu Jiujiu exclaimed. Her brain was a bit chaotic. Looking at Su Yun, who was still shivering on the side, she shook her head to keep herself awake and hurriedly turned around and said:

"Two guests, we still have some important matters to deal with, so please stay here for now. When the matter is resolved, I will personally introduce that senior and my lover to you."

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo's expressions moved slightly, and then they both agreed.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Su Yun on the side and then asked: "She came with that... A-Yan's sister?"

The Ice Emperor nodded without denying it.

Xu Jiujiu's sharp and direct gaze made Su Yun feel like she had something to say but couldn't. Miss, oh Miss, you followed the Young Master and left, so why did you leave me here? These people's auras are all so scary, I really can't hold on anymore...

After sizing up Su Yun for a moment, Xu Jiujiu said: "Take her, let's go back to the palace first. We'll talk about other things when A-Yan comes back."

As she spoke, Xu Jiujiu walked straight toward the door. The Nebula Douluo nodded to the Ice Emperor, then smiled and came to Su Yun's side, saying: "Please, this Crown, since you have come to Star Luo City, you are our guest, so naturally you have to go to the palace to see, don't you think?"

Su Yun was really about to cry. She said tremblingly: "Senior, actually, I can wait here..."

"Hmm!?"

The smile on the Nebula Douluo's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an unapproachable appearance. She lowered her cloudy eyes and said:

"This old woman is old, but I still know a few tricks. Is this Crown trying to refuse the personal invitation of the royal princess and not give the Empire face!?"

"Princess...!?"

The smile on Su Yun's face became even uglier. She said with a hint of crying: "I'll go, I'll go, okay? Senior, please lead the way."

The Nebula Douluo smiled with satisfaction and said: "That's for the best. You wait obediently in the palace and don't have any other intentions. If A-Yan is really willing to acknowledge that so-called sister, it will be a great opportunity for you. If you dare to have other thoughts again, this old woman might not be able to take you down in a short time, but there are many people in the palace who can take you down, do you understand?"

"I will follow your teachings, Senior..."

Su Yun followed the Nebula Douluo's old and hunched figure and boarded the luxurious carriage parked in front of the door together.

Xu Jiujiu lifted the curtain and looked at Chen Yin and the others who were bowing in unison not far away, then said indifferently: "Whatever happened today, no matter what it is, you must swallow it into your stomach. From now on, the royal secret guards will patrol nearby without interruption. Of course, as long as your loyalty to the Empire remains unchanged, I will not treat you unfairly."

People who can work at the Star Emperor Hotel are carefully selected, and they are extremely loyal to the country, not to mention that their families are all in Star Luo City. With such a background, Xu Jiujiu is actually not worried about anything.

Chen Yin responded respectfully, and looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, he finally heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief...

I went to the mountains with friends today and there was no internet, so I lost contact. I just came back and started writing the author's words for the previous chapter, but it was deleted again. Sad.
