Chapter 45: Electrolux's Power, Visitors from the South
Since the last deep conversation with Xu Jiawei in the palace, both of them had felt a faint tacit understanding.
When dealing with some things, the two's ideas were surprisingly similar. Xu Jiawei was increasingly satisfied with Shu Yan, and Shu Yan also learned a lot of new "knowledge" from Xu Jiawei. His own temperament seemed to have undergone a washing and transformation, becoming more mature, and he was more rational and clear when looking at problems.
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Shu Yan looked at the three beauties, each with their own merits, and was in a difficult position again.
The Snow Empress sat kneeling in front of the low table, the tea in front of her steaming. The Ice Empress and Xu Jiujiu were sitting on the other side. The two had their backs to Shu Yan, and coupled with their own concerns, for a moment they really didn't notice Shu Yan's existence.
Shu Yan coughed gently. The Snow Empress just raised her eyes lazily. The Ice Empress and Xu Jiujiu were directly startled. After coming to their senses, the Ice Empress gritted her teeth and shouted: "What are you coughing for? Didn't you see that this Empress is thinking? If you interrupt this Empress's train of thought, I will definitely give you another bungee jump from ten thousand meters high."
Xu Jiujiu also glared at Shu Yan resentfully, then lowered her beautiful eyes.
Shu Yan shrugged, then sat directly on a soft cushion nearby, his movements skilled and elegant as he poured himself a cup of tea, then drank it in one gulp.
Of course, the teacup used this time was naturally not the Snow Empress's.
The Snow Empress looked at Shu Yan's movements, the emotions in her eyes flashed, and then she said indifferently:
"Your spiritual power seems to have improved a lot, and your spiritual sea seems to be protected by something. Even I find it difficult to see through the mystery within."
The Ice Empress sized Shu Yan up for a while, then also showed the same expression as the Snow Empress.
As for Xu Jiujiu... um... forget it, her strength was still too weak, and she couldn't feel anything.
Shu Yan didn't hide it anymore, just told the three everything he could say. The three were silent for a while. After a long time, the Snow Empress continued to ask: "Is that Old Yi reliable?"
Shu Yan nodded, saying with a hint of emotion: "Old Yi is very reliable. This point is not to be questioned. As for his own powerful ability, I will show it to you in the future. At that time, I think you will be shocked by this."
The Ice Empress curled her lips and whispered: "Necromancy, Death Saint Mage, etc., how come it feels so much like what you humans call evil Soul Masters? It sounds like an evil and ominous feeling."
Xu Jiujiu also nodded in agreement, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
"This......"
Shu Yan was speechless for a moment, really not knowing how to respond to the Ice Empress's words. It seemed that what the other party said was really not a problem......
Just when Shu Yan was silent, the gray bead in his spiritual sea suddenly trembled again. The next moment, Shu Yan's consciousness suddenly felt a sense of dizziness. The next moment, his consciousness was surprised to find that he had lost control of his body. But relatively speaking, he could still perceive everything that happened outside with unparalleled clarity.
The mutation came very quickly. The aura on Shu Yan's body changed drastically, instantly transforming from the original indifferent and noble to a dignified and dead-silent coldness. Gray airflow slowly circled around him. An indescribable power lingered in Shu Yan's palm. The Snow Empress and the three felt the changes in Shu Yan and were stunned one after another.
The next moment, the gray airflow disappeared suddenly, and the dead-silent gray in Shu Yan's eyes also disappeared, and his eyes slowly returned to clarity.
Looking at the three people with shocked faces, Shu Yan rubbed his temples and said helplessly in his spiritual sea: "Old Yi, it's better to tell me in advance next time. You coming here is scary enough." A light laugh seemed to come from the Life Gold in the depths of the spiritual sea, but it disappeared quickly. Shu Yan didn't get a specific response, but he wasn't angry. His consciousness traced back. He looked at the three women in front of him and asked with a smile:
"How does it feel? Is this power not quite what you imagined?"
The Snow Empress put down the teacup in her hand, pursed her lips, and said: "Very wonderful. At first, through everything you said, I once thought this was an evil and ominous power. But through the perception of the power just now, I felt an unparalleled holiness in it. This doesn't look like the power of an evil Soul Master at all, but rather a brand-new and powerful power."
The expression on the Ice Empress's face also became serious. She looked at Shu Yan and then continued:
"Just now... this Empress seemed to feel an extremely terrifying spiritual fluctuation. That spiritual fluctuation was so powerful that it made this Empress feel as small as an ant..."
The Snow Empress and Xu Jiujiu also nodded. The latter's expression was slightly numb. It could be seen that the Princess's confidence had been hit quite severely by Shu Yan, and it might take some time to complete self-repair.
Shu Yan smiled and said:
"Old Yi still needs some time to repair his own soul. Later, I will let him get to know everyone properly. At that time, you will find that Old Yi's true terror is far more than this......"
The three women looked at Shu Yan and didn't say anything more. The hand Electrolux just showed had shocked them. Regardless, since the other party had become one of Shu Yan's helpers, for them, wasn't this also a great thing? The four sat in silence for a while, which was already the norm. Shu Yan didn't talk much, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were even less so, and Xu Jiujiu didn't know how to speak in such an occasion, so she just sat there, which wasn't bad.
Xu Jiujiu lowered her eyes and looked at the table in front of her, her thoughts flying. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came, and Xu Jiujiu seemed to have suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes violently and said:
"A-Yan, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Do you want to hear it now?"
Shu Yan looked at Xu Jiujiu somewhat surprised, but still nodded.
Xu Jiujiu cleared her throat and said:
"Didn't you mention the matter of the Spirit Hall remnants before? Just two days ago, a few special guests came from the south. One of them has a Golden Crocodile martial soul. I think you should be interested in them......"
"Golden Crocodile......"
Shu Yan murmured in a low voice, then suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Then these few guests are really special. Let's go, let's go and meet them. I just don't know what the fire left by the former Spirit Hall in this era looks like. I'm looking forward to it......"
ps: The original work of Dou 1 doesn't seem to mention whether the Spirit Hall elders and offerings have descendants. This is a second setting, everyone don't get hung up on it!
