Shui Bing'er's Proud Soul Spirit

He turned his head and saw an Ice Crystal Snow Ape arching its back, its fur standing on end, baring its teeth at the soldiers Heaven Dou the snow beside the camp, its pupils filled with shock and anger.

The soldiers were carrying Three-Eyed Icefire Guns, with blue smoke still rising from the muzzles, clearly indicating that they had just been fired.

The squad leader, his face ashen, yelled at the top of his lungs, "Form ranks! This beast is about to pounce!"

"Roar--!!!"

The Ice Crystal Snow Ape roared, its thick forelimbs slamming into the snow, sending up a wave of snow half a person's height, making the soldiers in the front ranks feel weak in the knees.

Ye Hua arrived at lightning speed, landing directly between the two sides.

He first pressed his palm towards the Ice Crystal Snow Ape, the Auspicious Beast's aura soothing it, and the snow ape's fur lowered slightly.

"What's going on?" Ye Hua asked the squad leader.

The squad leader swallowed hard, pointed at the muzzle of the gun, and said, "Night Alliance Leader! We've won a great victory, and the brothers are happy. Let's fire a shot into the air to celebrate!"

"Then this beast—this Soul Beast —suddenly bristled and charged at us!"

The soldiers nodded and took a step back.

Ye Hua's lips twitched, so he simply used [Mental Sharing] to translate, allowing them to understand each other's words.

"Roar! Bullshit!" the snow ape said, looking aggrieved. "Didn't the noise scare me?"

"Who wouldn't be afraid of fireballs shooting out of that iron pipe!"

The surrounding allied forces gradually gathered, looking at each other in bewilderment, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

"Stop!" Qian Renxue ran over too. "Everyone, put down your guns!"

"Your Crown Prince..."

I said let it go!

Seeing that the Crown Prince was angry, the soldiers reluctantly put down their Three-Eyed Icefire Guns.

Di Tian also transformed into human form and walked over, "Aren't you going to drop your attacking stances?"

"Roar." The snow ape relaxed its body.

"Alright, alright," Dai Weisi stepped in to mediate. "It's fine for you to fire your guns in celebration, but Soul Beast have sensitive hearing and don't understand your actions."

He then turned to the Ice Crystal Snow Ape, his tone softening, "They meant no harm; they were just too happy after the battle to do this."

The soldiers remained vigilant, and the snow ape let out a low growl.

Dai Weisi's smile froze, turning into bitterness.

Since ancient times, peacemakers have never pleased either side!

Seeing that both sides had temporarily stopped, Ye Hua said, "This reminds me."

"What?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.

Ye Hua shook his head. " With the Abyss sealed off, humans and Soul Beast don't have a common enemy for the time being. As time goes on, friction will only increase."

"What happened just now will definitely happen again in the future."

Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully.

"They can't live together for long," Ye Hua pondered. "The best way is to let them return to their respective settlements and recover their Vital Essence first."

Dai Weisi, taking a swig of liquor, said, "Alright, the defense will be held by humans!"

"However, we cannot guarantee that no soldier will break discipline and provoke Soul Beast!"

"That depends on the military discipline of the Two Great Empires," Ye Hua said, looking into the distance. "I will leave behind Soul Douluo from the Long Night Alliance to serve as humanity's representative."

"If something goes wrong, it can be dealt with promptly."

Due to the invasion of the Abyss, the Imperial army will inevitably be stationed permanently in the Far North Forest!

There must be someone he can control, someone with influence, left to manage the overall situation!

Ye Hua got up and returned to the camp, summoning the Snow Empress.

But when Ye Hua saw the Ice Empress hanging on the Snow Empress's body and being brought out, he was stunned.

"Mmm..." Ice Empress snuggled against Snow Empress, rubbing against her.

Ye Hua put his hand to his forehead, "Ice Empress, you..."

"Ah!" Ice Empress jumped down, snapping out of her daze.

Snow Empress patted her head and wiped the drool off her face.

"Qilin, is something the matter?"

Ye Hua cut to the chase, "Snow Empress, do you have any trustworthy and capable Soul Beast in the Far North Forest?"

Snow Empress fell into deep thought, but Ice Empress suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Let Xiao Bai go! He's strong enough!"

"No," Snow Empress said decisively, "He's too simple-minded; he's not suitable."

"How about we send Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai?"

"A-Tai?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "Okay!"

This guy is one of the three kings of the Extreme North, and also the chieftain of the Titan Snow Demon Clan; he's certainly capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

"Then I'll call him over." Snow Empress released her aura.

In no time, A-Tai shrunk his size and arrived at the tent.

He bowed to Ye Hua, then cupped his hands in greeting to the Snow Empress, "Snow Empress, did you summon me for something?"

The Snow Empress didn't mince words, "The Far North has suffered such a calamity, with heavy casualties among all races. We will have to rely on humans to lay the cables."

"We need Auspicious Beast that can handle things. We'll have one stay to work with humans and avoid conflicts. Are you willing?"

A-Tai paused for a moment, "Me? Me?"

"Hmm." Ye Hua handed him the Voice Transmitter. "If you don't know what to do, use this to contact me."

Seeing that Ye Hua was there to back him up, A-Tai breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, Qilin, I'll definitely get this done!"

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical juncture, I'll twist their head off and use it as a football!"

"You..." Ye Hua hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

So irritable?

Never mind, if something happens, his subordinates from the Long Night Alliance will intervene to stop it.

After resolving the matter concerning the Soul Beast representative, Ye Hua found Shui Bing'er and Oscar.

The two were standing by a snowdrift not far away, looking worried.

"Have you decided what kind of Soul Spirit you want?"

Shui Bing'er sighed, "I originally had my eye on the Heavenly Ice Kingfisher, but with this incident, I don't know if I'll ever be able to find it."

"The Abyss is so polluted that many Soul Beast have become extinct..."

Ye Hua closed his eyes, and the Auspicious Beast's fortune quietly unfolded.

Perception is like a fine net, covering the snowfield.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and shook his head.

"There are indeed very few Heavenly Ice Kingfisher left; they are close to extinction."

"They need to reproduce and reproduce, so they probably won't agree to become Soul Spirit."

Shui Bing'er bit her lip and remained silent.

Just then, a dusty figure landed on her shoulder.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was indeed the palm-sized Ice Phoenix Parrot.

It raised its paw and stomped twice on her shoulder without any politeness, then stood firmly on its feet.

"It's Parrot," Shui Bing'er quickly looked up. "Do you know if there are any suitable Soul Beast for me?"

The Ice Phoenix Parrot is powerful; it knows the Old Bear of the Ice Bear Tribe and has connections, so it should know this!

Unexpectedly, the Ice Phoenix Parrot raised its head and coughed.

"Senior Parrot?" Shui Bing'er used a respectful title.

Shui Yue'er was the first to react, "Sister Parrot, would you be willing to be my sister's Soul Spirit?"

"Huh?!" Shui Bing'er was stunned.

The Ice Phoenix Parrot raised its tail and said, "Hmph, I'm not doing this out of pity."

"You're not bad at fighting, not letting my cultivation go to waste!"

Shui Bing'er was pleasantly surprised, "You really want to?"

The Parrot twisted its neck, "Yes."

"But you're in the prime of your life," Ye Hua curiously, "Why do you want to become Soul Spirit?"

"You clearly have at least 20,000 years left to live!"

"This..." The Parrot's eyes darted around.

It's always better to find shade under a big tree!

You, Qilin, possess extraordinary talent; you will surely become a god in the future!

As the old saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"

This girl is someone close to you; she's destined to become a god!

And I, as her Soul Spirit, may also live forever!

"They're just after my strength, aren't they?" Shui Bing'er saw through the deception.

The more time we come into contact with, the more we understand its ruthlessness, and the more afraid we become.

The Parrot possesses the Ice Phoenix Bloodline and is extremely powerful.

But it also has the lineage of Timekeeping Bird and understands time!

Perhaps it's because they understand that no matter how strong they are, they will eventually fade away like smoke?

The Ice Phoenix Parrot was somewhat bewildered by the smile on Shui Bing'er's lips.

No, could this girl really have guessed what I'm thinking?

Ye Hua saw that the Ice Phoenix Parrot didn't answer, but just smiled.

Judging from its eyes, it had no designs on Shui Bing'er.

If that's the case, why persist in pursuing it relentlessly?

"Alright, I'll have Sky Dream Ice Silkworm help you connect your souls later!"

Oscar's Soul Spirit, Ye Hua, found the Mirror Shadow Beast for him.

Oscar was overjoyed to learn that he could summon [Copy Image Sausage], which could copy all of someone else's skills for three minutes.

Overjoyed, they found Ye Hua and demanded his blood!

And then--

I was unconscious for three days, and felt dizzy and disoriented for seven days!

Even when returning to the Crystal Palace from the south, Veya pushed her in a wheelchair.

What's even more frustrating is that the image gut hasn't been created yet!

"Xiao Ao," Ye Hua said, both amused and exasperated, "What were you thinking?"

"Teacher Ye," Oscar said, on the verge of tears, "I thought this was a conceptual skill!"

"So... it turns out I overestimated my skills and underestimated your freakish nature!"

Ye Hua remained silent.

"Veya, thank you. You came to the south for tourism, but you still took care of me."

Veya forced a smile, "Hmph! If you like it, that's all that matters!"

"Actually," Oscar hesitated, "You don't have to hold yourself back for me."

"There are many fun places in the south, like Heaven Dou City and Suotuo City..."

"I think I'll go to Notting City instead!" Veya said expressionlessly.

"That's good. Notting City is Teacher Ye's territory, and it's well-managed."

"Hmm--" Veya smiled.

Shui Yue'er covered her face, her shoulders trembling.

But Shui Yue'er not only had to comfort her sister, but also had to force a smile.

When the main force returned to the Crystal Palace, Xiao Wu and the others, having received the message, were already waiting at the gate.

But Ye Hua noticed that an old man was standing on the stone steps in front of the Crystal Palace.

The figure was old but not hunched, with a calm expression and eyes as sharp as a drawn sword.

It was none other than Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Ye Hua stopped in his tracks.

Before he could even speak, Ning Rongrong pounced on him.

"Ye Hua, while you were away, someone caused trouble!"
