Chapter 37 What a handsome little fellow!
The far north, the border of humanity.
Arriving here means leaving the outer perimeter of the far north and entering human territory. Humans are occasionally spotted, but most return empty-handed.
Among them, a group stands out.
Unlike the rough coats of the Soul Hunters, this group wears luxurious ice-blue robes, especially the leaders, whose refined bearing clearly indicates they come from a prominent family. Hanging
on their chests are ice crystal jade pendants, engraved with the elegant characters: Ling!
The Ling family, the number one family in Xuanbing City!
"These past few years, there have been fewer and fewer soul beasts on the outskirts of the far north. I originally planned to help Luo Chen choose a suitable thousand-year soul beast for your fourth soul ring, but now it seems we'll have to go to the Frozen Forest near Tianshui City," a handsome middle-aged man said to the girl beside him.
The girl has a cool and aloof appearance, appearing to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, like a beautiful ice lotus, pure and untouched by the mud.
A long, ice-blue dress encased her slender legs, revealing a pair of snow-white calves. Over this, a snow-white coat completed the look, making her appear like a darling of the world.
She simply responded softly and then fell silent.
The middle-aged man, naturally familiar with the girl's personality, simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Ling Luochen, daughter of the current patriarch of the Ling family in Xuanbing City, is a once-in-a-century super genius of the entire Ling family. She is extremely famous throughout Xuanbing City and has now become a core disciple of the outer court of Shrek Academy, the number one soul master academy on the continent. Entering the inner court is only a matter of time.
In Xuanbing City, Ling Luochen's reputation is extremely high; some even call her the Snow Princess, demonstrating the high regard the people of the city have for her.
However, Ling Luochen's personality was extremely aloof, which was undoubtedly related to her past experiences.
Besides Ling Luochen, the head of the Ling family, Ling Tianyi, originally had a son, but he tragically died in the far north snowfield during an accident while acquiring his second soul ring.
From then on, Ling Luochen became cold and indifferent, refusing to be close to anyone, whether at home or in the academy, like an icy fairy.
"Most soul beasts in the Frozen Forest aren't as good as those in the far north, but the difference shouldn't be too great. Just find one with a slightly higher age; if the quality isn't enough, age will make up for it," another middle-aged man, slightly shorter than her, comforted Ling Luochen with a smile. The latter remained unresponsive, as if she hadn't heard him.
"Sigh."
The first middle-aged man, seeing Ling Luochen's state, didn't feel embarrassed; instead, he felt a pang of heartache.
When she was little, when her younger brother was still alive, Luo Chen wasn't like this at all.
"Fourth Brother, look over there." Just then, a beautiful young woman behind the middle-aged man called out softly. He followed her finger and looked into the distance, only to find a boy walking not far from them.
The boy looked to be no more than seven or eight years old, very handsome, even strikingly beautiful.
His hair was a rare white, tied back, flowing gracefully with the wind and snow, otherworldly.
"What a handsome little fellow," the young woman exclaimed softly, a hint of affection in her eyes.
Women naturally appreciate cute and beautiful things, and this boy's handsome appearance made her instantly like him.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly. "He's not very old, yet he's returned alone from the far north. Perhaps he's a direct descendant of a powerful force we don't know about. Besides, did you notice? His aura doesn't seem weak."
After the middle-aged man's reminder, the young woman and the other middle-aged man noticed the fluctuations in the boy's aura. " A Soul Master
at such a young age... he must be a scion of some powerful force." The slightly shorter middle-aged man sighed. "I thought Luo Chen's talent was already terrifying, but it turns out there are always people more powerful than you. But since he's come to the far north, could his Martial Soul also be an ice-attribute Martial Soul?"
"Are there any sects or large families in the outside world whose Martial Souls are primarily ice-attribute?"
Hearing his words, the other two were stunned.
Just then, Ling Luo Chen, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly looked at the young man with some surprise, "Ultimate Ice... How is that possible?"
Ultimate Ice?
Ling Luochen's voice wasn't loud, but the three men could easily hear him. They immediately looked at the young man in shock. "He's a supreme Ice Soul Master?"
"Fourth Uncle should know that my Ice Element Martial Soul is the purest in the Ling family's history, but it still hasn't reached the ultimate level. Although we're a bit far, I can feel that the ice and snow around him seem to have met their king, extremely close. Besides the ultimate level, I can't think of any other possibility," Ling Luochen said softly.
The three exchanged glances again. Suddenly, the middle-aged man spoke up, "Such a genius, even if someone is secretly supporting him, if we could befriend him, it might be a good thing for our Ling family."
"In that case, I'll go ask him if he wants to come with us to Xuanbing City," the young woman said proactively. Before the two middle-aged men could react, her slender figure disappeared.
At this moment, Yun Ze was walking aimlessly on the snow.
A faint fragrance wafted by, and a beautiful young woman appeared beside Yun Ze. She
looked to be in her early twenties. While not stunningly beautiful, she was still quite pretty, and importantly, she was very well-endowed. As the saying
goes, "Young men don't know the beauty of mature women, mistaking a young girl for a treasure. " Yunze knew
this all too well.
He looked at the beautiful young woman before him with some curiosity. She smiled sweetly and spoke first, her voice gentle, "Young master, judging from your appearance, are you also going to Xuanbing City?"
Xuanbing City?
Yunze quickly realized that this so-called Xuanbing City must be the human city on the border of the far north.
He nodded, his voice clear, "Yes."
"I see you're alone, young master. Although the far north border is far from the outer reaches of the far north, it can still be dangerous. I am from the Ling family of Xuanbing City. If you don't mind, young master, would you be willing to return to Xuanbing City with my family? My family can provide you with a fine place to stay."
The Ling family of Xuanbing City?
Yunze didn't know much about the human world, especially the cities on the border of this far north. However, as a mythical beast, Yunze had a certain understanding of human good and evil. Moreover, although he looked only seven or eight years old, he actually possessed the soul of someone in their twenties.
Seeing the beautiful young woman's expression, was she trying to curry favor with him?
He smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, beautiful sister."
"Young master, you have such a sweet tongue." The young woman smiled sweetly. Her true age was already over forty, and being called "sister" by such a handsome young man naturally pleased her.
She tentatively placed her hand on Yunze's small hand, and seeing that he didn't react much, she used her soul power to make Yunze disappear from the spot.
