Chapter 139

Huh?

What did you say?!

The Ice Emperor widened his eyes, as if hearing the most shocking thing in the world, looked incredulously at Tang Wulin before him, and couldn't help but question.

I said.

I want to take her away.

Tang Wulin's gaze fell on the Snow Emperor, his face bearing a calm smile, and he spoke calmly.

On what grounds?

Why do you want to take our Snow away?

Hearing this, the Ice Emperor was unwilling, regardless of whether the opponent was a Golden Dragon King or not, he stood protectively before the Snow Emperor and snapped.

Ice, don't speak yet.

Unlike the Ice Emperor's bluntness, the Snow Emperor clearly had his emotions under control, lightly patting the other's shoulder to signal that he need not intervene.

Why do you want to take me away?

This matter...

There should be an explanation, right?

The Snow Emperor's expression was cold, like a spirit of this icy snowy land, gazing at the Soul Beast Master of the Star Dou Forest before him, his face showing no emotion.

I need you to be my soul spirit.

Tang Wulin spoke bluntly.

Soul spirit...

What is it?

The Snow Emperor was still pondering what this was, while the Ice Emperor beside him, clearly less reserved, immediately blurted out a question.

Ice...

No problem.

The Snow Emperor glanced at the Ice Emperor, indicating he should show some respect to the person before him, but Tang Wulin shook his head, apparently indifferent.

Compared to the Snow Emperor's cold and aloof nature, the Ice Emperor's cute demeanor was actually more agreeable.

The so-called soul spirit is a contract between humans and soul beasts, whereby the soul beast abandons its body and energy, gives its soul ring to the human soul master host, and persists in spiritual form, coexisting with the soul master in life and death...

And if I become a god, you can also become a god alongside me.

Tang Wulin's gaze fell on the Snow Emperor as he spoke word by word, and the latter indeed furrowed his brows, revealing a thoughtful expression.

So you want Snow to be your soul spirit, which means making her your soul ring? And then exist in your body in spiritual form...

The Ice Emperor beside him, seeming thoughtful, blinked and said.

What?

You want Snow to be your soul ring!!!

However, the next moment she was like a fur‑exploding cat, her gaze fixed on Tang Wulin before her, as if looking at an enemy who had stolen her wife.

You can't do that.

The Ice Emperor stepped forward again, his cold arrogant face showing a hint of anger, his whole body shielding the Snow Emperor before him, and spoke firmly.

She didn't understand what a soul spirit was, but the person before her actually wanted Snow to become his soul ring! As for soul rings, she knew that to turn a soul beast into a soul ring, the only way was to kill the beast and take its ring.

This is asking for Snow's death! Whoever wants Snow dead, she will make them die, regardless of whether they are a soul beast master or not.

Huh?

Seeing through her thoughts, Emperor Tian let out a cold snort, and instantly a powerful soul power pressure appeared on the Ice Emperor, nearly making her unable to breathe.

Emperor Tian.

We're all beast clans; let's talk nicely.

At that moment, as Tang Wulin spoke a sentence, the originally surging soul power pressure instantly dissipated.

Yes.

Emperor Tian replied respectfully, but his gaze toward the Ice Emperor carried hostility.

If this Ice Emperor still dares to show disrespect to his ancestors, he doesn't mind letting the other know what the wrath of the Beast God is.

Ice.

The Snow Emperor clearly didn't expect Tang Wulin to smooth things over, and with a pull he dragged the Ice Emperor before him to behind him.

Hmph...

The Ice Emperor snorted displeased, but his calves dared not take another step; the gap between him and Emperor Tian was too great, and before his opponent he had no chance of victory.

Do I have any room to refuse?

Looking toward Tang Wulin, the Snow Emperor's expression remained as indifferent as ever, though a hint of self‑mockery appeared on his face.

Of course.

As long as you are unwilling, I will certainly not rely on Emperor Tian's methods to force you...

Tang Wulin nodded, his expression just as calm, mixed with a faint smile.

But I believe.

You will not refuse.

In the next moment, he also spoke bluntly.

I...

Hearing this, the Snow Emperor indeed wanted to speak but stopped.

Become your soul spirit.

What is your probability of becoming a god?

Xue Di looked at him, her tone softened a bit as she said.

"100%."

Tang Wulin's face showed certainty; becoming a god for himself involved no difficulty whatsoever.

This wasn't him being overconfident, but rather…

Obtaining godhood inheritance was, for him, really not a difficult thing, after all, up to now he had given Nannan and Xiao Tao the inheritance of a first-rank god.

As for his own opportunity…

If his guess is correct, he probably needs the Silver Dragon King to awaken, then he and the other party can enter Dragon Valley together to obtain some inheritance.

"100%…"

Xue Di gave a soft reply, what a confident man.

But, she indeed saw infinite possibilities from him.

Whether it was the Lord of the Star Dou Great Forest's bloodline, yet his human identity, or the abundant potential within him, all were extending an olive branch to her.

"Xue'er! You're crazy!"

Listening to Xue Di's words, the Bing Di beside her couldn't help but grab her hand and grit her teeth.

"Become a god?"

Said so lightly, but how many people in this world can truly reach that level? None, absolutely none!

Even the closest one was only that man from ten thousand years ago; today, ten thousand years later, could he become a god? She didn't know his talent, but since he was the Lord of the Star Dou Great Forest, he must be a Soul Beast that has taken human form, and for a Soul Beast to become a god is to go against heaven; throughout history, no one has succeeded.

"I don't know if she's crazy or not."

"But for her, this might be her last chance."

Tang Wulin looked toward Bing Di's direction and said slowly.

"Why?"

Because she lacks the ability to withstand a 700,000-year heavenly tribulation.

"……"

Hearing that answer, Bing Di's little face instantly turned pale; as someone who had accompanied him for several decades, she of course knew he had reached the time to face the heavenly tribulation.

But this is a 700,000-year heavenly tribulation! Where would it be so easy to get through?

She herself, even if she were to break through 400,000 years in the future, would have little confidence, let alone him being a full 300,000 years higher...

"Xue Di."

"As fellow Soul Beasts, I also don't want you to die while undergoing tribulation and become the master's soul spirit."

"If it weren't for my need to guard the Star Dou Great Forest and the heavenly tribulation being too far off, I would be the best choice to become a soul spirit."

Di Tian looked at him and likewise spoke.

"Good."

Xue Di had no other words, but just that simple "good" was enough to express her intention.

Indeed, as the other party said, this truly is his last chance; moreover, given his talent, if he truly achieves godhood in the future, his strength could rise straight to the heavens.

"What do I need to do…" "I disagree."

Xue Di was just about to say something when, the next moment, a weak voice sounded again, quietly grabbing her little hand—it was Bing Di.

"I don't want to leave Xue'er."

She said it sadly, her face showing a look of grievance, though in her heart she was constantly persuading herself.

For Xue Di, becoming the soul spirit of the Lord of the Star Dou Great Forest is his opportunity, but…

But she really can't bear to part with Xue Di.

"This is simple."

"You can easily come with us to the human world; it's no big deal."

Seeing Bing Di's reluctance, Xue Di was still thinking how to properly comfort her, but Tang Wulin gave a faint smile and immediately said slowly.

"Huh?"

Hearing that answer, Bing Di was stunned, then her eyes lit up, as if it really wasn't impossible! Since she couldn't bear to leave Xue Di, she might as well go with him; after all, staying alone in the Extreme North would be boring.

"Alright, thank you."

"Then I'll follow your suggestion and go back to the human world with you."

Bing Di's sense of loss vanished completely, her gaze falling on Tang Wulin as she showed a smile for the first time.

Following Xue Di together, they could also go to the human world to see the sights and check out some fun things—really not bad.

"……"

Tang Wulin somewhat embarrassedly rubbed his own hair, and Bing Di's demeanor left him somewhat at a loss.

How could he be sold out and still have to pay for people?! This left him feeling like a creep who tricks little girls.

"The master truly lives up to being the master."

"This way, two of the three overlords of the Extreme North have been taken away."

Beside him, Di Tian's eyes lit up at once, thinking it was very good.

"Alright, no delay."

"Xue Di, please become my soul spirit."

Tang Wulin directed his gaze at Xue Di, already prepared, and said with some anticipation.

At this moment, saying he wasn't expecting it would be a lie.

Although he watched Xiao Tao and Le Xuan sister absorb ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, for himself he only had four ten-thousand-year Soul Rings.

Now, absorbing a 690,000-year soul spirit, how could his heart not feel excited? "Good."

Xue Di smiled and nodded slightly, closed her eyes, having already decided something.

"..."

"What are you doing closing your eyes?"

Tang Wulin blinked slightly. Although no one said that forming a contract prohibits closing one's eyes, this is indeed the first situation he has seen so far.

"So forming a contract also requires closing one's eyes? I've learned, I've learned..."

Beside him, the Ice Emperor watched all this, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Although I don't know if this counts as useful knowledge, at least I've learned it, heh~

Soon after, under the Ice Emperor's expectant gaze, Tang Wulin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, quietly opened his eyes.

【Bond Relationship Activated】

【Congratulations on forming a soul spirit—Snow Emperor】

【Obtained soul skills: Ice Heaven Snow Earth, Snow Emperor Three Absolutes, Snow Domain…… and simultaneously all abilities of the Snow Emperor】

"Wu Lin, Wu Lin, where is Xue'er? Have you guys completed the contract now? Should be going smoothly, right?"

The Ice Emperor raised his head, his gaze falling on Tang Wulin, looking left and right, unable to help saying excitedly.

"Whether it's smooth or not, you'll see."

Looking at this anxious little girl before him, Tang Wulin found it hard to reconcile her with the previously aloof Ice Emperor.

As he spoke, a snow-white spirit had already descended beside him, undoubtedly the Snow Emperor.

"Bing'er."

Looking toward the Ice Emperor, she smiled and said.

"Wow!"

"Indeed, it's as soft as a real person."

The Ice Emperor grabbed the Snow Emperor's hand, feeling that genuine chill, and the last of his worries vanished, he hehe laughed.

"..."

"How come this feels a bit off?"

Tang Wulin smiled and couldn't help thinking.

After absorbing the Snow Emperor's soul spirit, his cultivation level increased, now reaching 56th rank, a full six-rank increase.

This may not seem like much, but the key is, he hasn't yet absorbed the soul bone they left for him.

Divine Ice Heaven Snow Earth Right Leg Bone

He can hardly imagine how his strength will reach after absorbing this soul bone.

【Congratulations, host, for obtaining the first soul spirit】

【Reward: soul ring level +1, all soul ring years +20,000】

【Claim?】

"Good good good."

Hearing the voice echoing in his mind, Tang Wulin blinked, then couldn't help feeling moved; it's really the system, this reward given to him is truly not lacking in the slightest.

"Give me the level increase."

"Let's put the soul ring years on hold for now; after all, the Snow Emperor just became my soul spirit and already increased, which is strange."

Tang Wulin smiled and thought thus.

This soul ring year limit will probably have to wait until I obtain the divine trial before being rewarded.

【Soul power level +1】

【Current cultivation: 57th rank Battle Soul King】

"Truly terrifying."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh; now that's fine, he had just broken through to Soul King, but now he has to break through to Soul Emperor again.

"This time we came to the Extreme North."

"And the harvest is plentiful."

Soon after, Tang Wulin followed the crowd flying in the sky, smiling, and couldn't help thinking secretly.

Originally I only wanted to bring back a Snow Emperor, but I didn't expect the Ice Emperor, this little cutie, to also follow along; now it's fine, the former glorious Extreme North Three Heavenly Kings now only have the Old Third, the Titan Snow Demon King, struggling to hold on.

"But..."

At this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly thought of something, falling into contemplation; won't the Ice Emperor want to stay at his place?

Since the Ice Emperor is already following him, it's obvious he can't go live outside alone; he can only follow him……

This way, the family will have another girl; it probably won't turn into a 'long time together breeds affection' scenario……

"Hiss……"

Thinking this far, Tang Wulin suddenly took a deep breath; he couldn't think further, otherwise it would be somewhat impolite.

"Wu Lin?"

"What are you thinking about?"

The Ice and Snow Two Emperors noticed his change in emotion, and couldn't help asking.

"Hahaha."

"No passing, no passing……"

Tang Wulin shook his head; he couldn't possibly tell them what he was thinking about how to explain going back.

"..."

"So."

"You just brought both of them?"

Shrek City, inside the villa.

Purple Princess, Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan looked at the Ice Emperor licking the candied hawthorn, and the Snow Emperor floating beside Tang Wulin, with a big thoughtful expression on their faces.

Could this be the legendary ……
