An Appointment with Di Tian

Upon seeing the peerless woman before him, as proud as a plum blossom braving the snow, a hint of surprise appeared in Di Tian's golden eyes. "The Snow Empress?"

The stunningly beautiful woman who could emerge from Zhou Huan's body was naturally the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress stood gracefully beside Zhou Huan, looking at Di Tian, who was still in his original form, and surprisingly praised him, saying, "It's been hundreds of thousands of years since I last saw you, Beast God's splendor remains unchanged."

It wasn't that Snow Empress was saying things against her conscience; after all, she had her own pride and wouldn't flatter Di Tian.

The main reason is that Di Tian has already survived the great tribulation of 800,000 years, while Snow Empress is powerless to even survive the Seven Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation.

From this perspective, Snow Empress admired Di Tian, hence her sigh.

At this moment, the person he was talking to became Snow Empress, who was also Ferocious Beast. Di Tian's attitude softened a little because there were very few Soul Beast at their level, and Snow Empress was not a lunatic like Evil Emperor.

However, seeing the Snow Empress's current state, Di Tian's expression shifted slightly, revealing a hint of confusion. "Snow Empress, why are you in the body of a human?"

Actually, it's no wonder that Di Tian was puzzled, as the current Snow Empress was no longer the pure soul she once was.

First, it absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, which was extremely compatible with itself. Then, as Zhou Huan's Soul Power leveled up, the Floating Pagoda also became stronger and stronger. Naturally, the Snow Empress, who had formed a symbiotic relationship with the Floating Pagoda, also gained great benefits.

Therefore, it is because Snow Empress's current state, which is neither a soul nor a physical body, is somewhat incomprehensible to Di Tian.

However, Snow Empress didn't want to explain further. Instead, she glanced casually at Zhou Huan before turning to Di Tian and saying simply, "Di Tian, I acknowledge him and believe in him."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering something, before finally saying, "But I do not understand him."

Di Tian's meaning was already quite clear: how could he trust a human he had only met for the first time? Even with Snow Empress's guarantee, he couldn't easily trust Zhou Huan.

However, on the other hand, Di Tian's attitude has softened somewhat; otherwise, there would have been no need to bring up the matter of whether Zhou Huan was trustworthy with Snow Empress.

Therefore, what Di Tian needs is not a promise from Snow Empress or Zhou Huan, but actual action to prove it.

But how can you prove someone is trustworthy through concrete actions?

This is not something that can be proven in a short time.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Snow Empress frowned slightly, and after a long pause, she managed to utter, "I don't understand now, but I'll understand after we meet a few more times."

Di Tian: "..."

Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance. "..." The implication was clear: When did Snow Empress become so naive?

Mu En and Xuanzi, who were struggling to maintain their combined form, almost broke down upon hearing Snow Empress's words. Meeting the Beast God so often, did he really think he was Zhou Huan's great-uncle, seeing him all the time to strengthen their bond?

Or are you Ferocious Beast now benevolent towards humans? Sitting together to eat and chat, getting to know each other?

The two old men were immediately struck by a sudden realization: they couldn't understand why the Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beast, would make such a "humane" suggestion.

But the two old men dared not say or ask anything now; what if they angered both of these Ferocious Beasts at the same time?

Mu En and Xuanzi no longer wanted to think about why the dignified Snow Empress was associated with Zhou Huan, because they felt that they had failed as the Sea God Pavilion Master. Zhou Huan had grown to a level that could rival them right under their noses, and they were completely unaware of it.

One can only sigh and say that times have changed, and so have young people.

At the scene, Snow Empress's unremarkable suggestion created an awkward silence.

For a moment, no one knew how to begin.

Zhou Huan couldn't very well say, "Your Majesty, your suggestion is excellent, but please refrain from making such suggestions in the future."

After all, Snow Empress put aside her watering chores at home and came out to help you persuade Di Tian for free.

After a long silence, Di Tian finally spoke, "I may leave, but you must come with me to the Lake of Life."

As he spoke, Di Tian stared intently at Zhou Huan with his dragon eyes, which were larger than ten earthenware pots.

In fact, this was a last resort for Di Tian.

If he insists on fighting to the death, the hundreds of thousands of Soul Beast he brought today will probably all perish here.

He might be fine, but Di Tian felt it wasn't worth it to destroy Shrek City at such a high price; after all, humanity wasn't just made up of Shrek's powerful warriors.

Moreover, with Snow Empress's help, this human named Zhou Huan might not actually die from this explosion.

If he really takes dozens of Level Nine Soul Tool Shells to bomb the Lake of Life, then things will be in trouble.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Di Tian still felt it was best to temporarily withdraw his troops, but Zhou Huan had to be taken to the Lake of Life so that the master could make the final decision, especially since the boy knew about the Dragon God.

If Zhou Huan wants to pull any tricks, he can just launch another Beast Tide later, as long as the Soul Beast army is still there.

However, no sooner had Di Tian finished speaking than Mu En and Xuanzi immediately refused, saying, "No."

How could these two old men possibly agree to such conditions? Aren't they afraid Zhou Huan might never return? This is Shrek's most outstanding Disciple in ten thousand years; he might even inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master! (At this moment, Huo Gua, still on his way back to Shrek Academy: So I'm a fake heir?)

However, unlike Mu En and Xuanzi, Zhou Huan was overjoyed upon hearing Di Tian's conditions. What a coincidence! I was originally planning to meet the Silver Dragon King anyway.

Now we can legitimately visit the Lake of Life, which is wonderful.

Otherwise, if someone barges in for no reason, they'll end up in a fight.

Therefore, Zhou Huan replied, "I agree to go to the Lake of Life."

Upon hearing this, Mu En and Xuanzi immediately became anxious. "Zhou Huan, you mustn't!"

However, Zhou Huan simply smiled faintly and said, "Mu En, Xuan Zi, please rest assured. Since Senior Di Tian invited me to be his guest, he certainly won't make things difficult for a mere guest like me. I believe that Senior Di Tian, as a dignified Beast God, wouldn't stoop to scheming against a mere Shrek Disciple like me. It wouldn't sound good if word got out, would it?"

Di Tian: "..." If you weren't controlling hundreds of Soul Tool Shell while talking to me, I would have actually believed your sincere appearance.

Then Zhou Huan added, "However, Senior Di Tian, I cannot go now."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's tone immediately turned serious. "What, are you going to back out?"

If we can't go now, are we supposed to wait a hundred years or more? Until you become a god and come back?

Zhou Huan immediately shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm going back on my word, it's just that I'll have to wait three days. Three days later, I will personally go to the Lake of Life, and perhaps I can give you a surprise then."

Three days?

After a moment's thought, Di Tian decided that three days wouldn't be a problem. As for whether there would be any surprises or not, he didn't care. Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, what hadn't Di Tian seen? What surprises could mere humans possibly offer him?

However, Di Tian still said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "For the sake of the Snow Empress, I'll give you three days. If you don't come, then prepare for the next Beast Tide."

Having said that, Di Tian stopped talking nonsense and immediately released his confrontation with Mu En, transforming back into human form.

By this time, Mu En and Xuanzi were exhausted. Seeing that the other party was willing to retreat, they naturally could no longer keep Di Tian trapped.

Immediately afterwards, Di Tian's voice echoed throughout Shrek City: "Withdraw the troops!"

As the Beast God, Di Tian needed no words or explanations; when he said to withdraw, the troops withdrew. The Myriad Monster King in the north and the Xiong Jun in the east, who were having a good fight, had no choice but to obey and retreat.

It can be said that this Beast Tide came quickly and went quickly.

Di Tian was never a wishy-washy Beast God; once he made a decision, it was a decision.

Moreover, he was genuinely curious about Zhou Huan, this young Soul Master. What kind of human could possibly have the ever-proud Snow Empress by his side?

And so, the Beast Tide receded, and to the bewilderment of the City Defense Army and Shrek Disciple, the once dense army of Soul Beast departed.

For a moment, the City Defense Army, who seemed to have just stepped off a cliff of life and death, cheered.

On the city wall, Xiao Xiao patted Wang Qingya's arm and whispered, "Baozi, I feel like we just came to see Master Zhou put on a show, and didn't actually do anything?"

Then, Wang Qingya grabbed the little girl's head and gave it a good rub, saying in an annoyed tone, "You little pet, are you stupid? Do you really want to go and fight the Beast Tide yourself?"

Xiao Xiao immediately shook her head several times and said, "Of course not, it's just that I feel like I'm not involved at all right now."

Wang Qingya: "..." She didn't want this sense of involvement.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiao exclaimed inexplicably, "Now I have a powerful backer! I never expected Master Zhou to be so amazing. When did he become Titled Douluo? It's simply heaven-defying!"

Wang Qingya also looked up at Zhou Huan high in the sky and nodded slightly. "Yes, there's no bigger thigh than this."

Meanwhile, Zhou Huan, who was referred to as "the big guy," was feeling somewhat awkward under the gaze of Mu En and Xuanzi.

In the end, the two old men didn't ask any questions, only saying, "Let's go back to the academy first," and then they left.

Only then did Zhou Huan notice that Zhang Lexuan beside him looked unwell, and immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan calmly, which made Zhou Huan a little flustered before he said, "I'll go to the Lake of Life too."
