Chapter 115: The Ice Emperor
Sitting in the carriage, Ning Bei cursed himself for not being able to control his mouth. Now, he hadn't even seen the gates of Tianshui Academy, and he was already on his way.
He didn't know why, but every time he saw the little angel, he just wanted to tease her. He didn't act this way with other women.
As Ning Bei's thoughts drifted, he suddenly heard Tianmeng's mocking laughter in his mind.
"You really are hopeless. Your mouth is so bad, look at how you upset that little girl."
"Uh? You can see her true form?"
"Even though I'm a million-year-old spiritual soul beast, you think a mere 100,000-year soul bone's disguise can fool me?"
"That girl has a good temper. If it were Bing'er, she would have definitely given you a taste of the Ice Emperor's bite."
"She has a good temper? How did you figure that out? Have you been abused by the Ice Emperor?"
"You, single-celled larvae, dare to call me hopeless? I'm already in a relationship, and I can be a father any time."
"Where did this little girl come from? How blind is she?"
Seeing Tianmeng's clueless expression in his mind, Ning Bei gritted his teeth in frustration. Does he think I can't handle him just because he's a wisdom soul ring now?
"Sigh, I'm still hungry. Let's have a pill as a snack."
With that, a Clear Soul Pill appeared in his hand, and he was about to pop it into his mouth.
"Wait, what's this? Put that down!"
The aroma from the Clear Soul Pill made Tianmeng feel uncomfortable in his spiritual form. If he ate it, he'd be in trouble.
"It's not anything special, just a sixth-grade pill. Its effect is to clear out any soul power that doesn't belong to you."
"Doesn't belong to me? Why don't you just give me your ID card?"
"Sigh, Ning Bei, my little brother, I misspoke. What I meant was that little girl really has good taste. You, Ning Bei, have the aura of someone destined to become a god. She will surely benefit from that."
"That's more like it."
Hearing Tianmeng's flattery, Ning Bei happily put the Clear Soul Pill back into his storage.
"By the way, should we head straight into the depths of the Extreme North to find the Ice Emperor?"
"Yes, but we might need your little subordinates to help create some pressure, or else Bing'er might not take us seriously."
Ning Bei looked at Tianmeng in his mind with disdain. "You really know how to flatter yourself. What do you mean by 'she won't listen to us'? What normal person communicates with a plate of food?"
It seemed like Tianmeng understood his expression, and weakly added, "Well, Bing'er is still quite reasonable."
"Ha! If I didn't know what you were like, I might have believed you. You're hopeless. If there's a god of flattery position, no one would fight you for it."
A day later, the carriage smoothly stopped at the gates of Xueyue City. The coachman's breath had turned into mist, showing how cold the air was.
Ning Bei got off the carriage and instructed the coachman to find a place to stay, intending to rest before his business was done, and then have the coachman take him back.
After receiving a bag of Gold Soul Coins from Ning Bei, the coachman happily drove the carriage into the city.
Ning Bei planned to reward himself for his earlier frustration by eating some food, planning to continue the journey the next day.
While eating, Ning Bei noticed someone staring at him. It was one of the prince's attendants who he had met earlier in Tianshui City when he ran into Qian Renxue. He didn't care much, figuring it was just the woman's curiosity.
After finishing his meal, he found a hotel and decided to stay there for the night.
The attendant waited until Ning Bei's figure disappeared from view before leaving.
The next morning, after a good rest, Ning Bei had fully recovered and adjusted to his peak condition. He left Xueyue City and traveled northward for nearly a hundred kilometers. A snow-covered forest finally appeared before him, with a prominent warning sign nearby.
"Extreme North, Human Forbidden Zone, Soul Beasts roam, danger, danger, danger!"
Looking at the large words on the warning sign, Ning Bei clicked his tongue in wonder. The people of Douluo Continent repeat important things three times?
Using his mental power, he scanned behind him and sighed secretly.
"Tsk, what a curious woman."
She hadn't even brought the two generals along.
Not bothering with her, he decided that if danger came, he would just help her out. He skillfully summoned the Dan Tower, and Er Ming and Ah Bao appeared at his side.
The two beasts, just out of the Dan Tower, sneezed from the cold air.
"Achoo! Ning Bei, brother, you're going to the Extreme North?"
Ah Bao , who had little experience, looked at his big brother in confusion.
"That's right. We have some business to discuss with the Ice Emperor. I'll need your help soon."
"No problem. I've got it covered," Er Ming said, pounding his chest confidently. Ah Bao nodded and led the way in front of Ning Bei.
As the trio entered the forest, Tianmeng's figure, now unmasked, appeared, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"Not Sword and Bone, but is it a god behind him, protecting him?"
Without hesitation, he followed Ning Bei's footsteps into the depths of the forest.
Ning Bei and his companions walked deep into the Extreme North for half a day, encountering several ice-type soul beasts along the way, which were easily scared off by Er Ming and Ah Bao releasing their pressure.
Feeling that they had reached a good spot, Ning Bei began communicating with Tianmeng.
"Tianmeng, is this about right?"
Tianmeng, controlling his mental power, scanned the surroundings and nodded.
"Yes, this is fine."
Ning Bei summoned the Dan Tower. Eight soul rings emerged, and the red soul ring with four golden markings began to glow, soon becoming a golden soul ring.
The soul ring separated into six golden light orbs, which were Tianmeng's sealed soul power, and the remaining four layers formed Ning Bei's soul rings.
The golden light gathered in front of him, and soon, a figure resembling Ning Bei appeared before him.
Without paying attention to his companions, the golden figure immediately shouted toward the distance.
"Ice Emperor, do you feel my Tianmeng's presence? Come out!"
In less than half a minute, a fierce storm erupted, turning the entire sky a greenish-blue.
"Tianmeng, you're still alive. Truly, the longest-living being in the Extreme North."
"Hahaha, if you haven't died, how could I leave alone? I still want to be your companion!"
"Tianmeng, you seek death."
Before Tianmeng could finish his sentence, the air around the group grew even colder, and the sky shifted from blue to dark green, full of killing intent, sending a chill down their spines.
Er Ming and Ah Bao 's faces changed drastically as they had no idea that such a terrifying existence existed in the Extreme North.
The two beasts quickly transformed into their true forms—A Dark Gold Fearsome Claw Bear and a Titan Giant Ape, each over twenty meters tall, appeared in front of Ning Bei.
"Eh, why are these soul beasts here in the Extreme North?"
A flash of blue light passed in front of them, and a scorpion about one and a half meters long appeared before them.
The scorpion's body was translucent, like crystal, emitting a glow, and its long stinger glistened with an eerie light, making one shiver.
