He had to cultivate diligently, then take revenge on Bibi Dong!
Right now, the most important thing was to at least reach the level of a Titled Douluo!
Only then could he keep Bibi Dong in check and make her regret every wrong she had committed in the past!
Didn't she like Yu Xiaogang?
Then he would make Yu Xiaogang die right before her eyes!
And she would be utterly powerless, unable to save him even after doing everything she could!
This was the sin she owed for abandoning him, for giving birth to both him and Sister Qian Renxue but never raising them.
Oh, right, and for the crime of strangling him to death!
Bibi Dong, just wait!
Xue Tianyu left the tavern and followed the traces of their aura to find the three thugs from before, then dealt with them cleanly and efficiently.
He left no future trouble behind.
Early morning.
Qian Renxue woke up in Tiandou Royal Palace.
She had completely sobered up from yesterday's drunkenness.
She remembered the young man she had met in the old tavern yesterday.
He had felt so familiar...
She had to find out who he was!
So she immediately disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and ordered an investigation into the young man's identity.
It had to be said that Xue Qinghe's involvement made things remarkably efficient. In less than half a day, Qian Renxue received the young man's information.
"He's actually Skywater Academy's only male student."
Qian Renxue looked at the information before her, slightly surprised.
This was the first time she had learned that Skywater Academy even had a male student.
Thinking of the sense of familiarity the young man had given her, she could not suppress the urge to see him again.
After all, she had never felt this way around anyone else.
But she knew perfectly well that she absolutely could not let that young man discover her disguise as Xue Qinghe.
This concerned Spirit Hall's grand plans. There could be no mistakes.
After thinking it over, Qian Renxue decided that she would often remove her disguise and wait for him at the old tavern as Qian Renxue herself.
Of course, she was not simply waiting around, as she still had to maintain her identity as Xue Qinghe.
It would not be good if people discovered that the Tiandou prince was always disappearing for no apparent reason.
So she would send word ahead of time to Skywater Academy that she would be going to the tavern.
After receiving the message, Xue Tianyu would generally head to the old tavern to meet Qian Renxue.
He also wanted to spend more time with this older sister who had lacked love throughout her childhood.
Thus, the two crossed paths more and more often, and the tavern became their sacred place for conversation.
Before long, they became friends.
The two often drank heartily in the old tavern, chatting about everything under the sun.
Their relationship quickly grew closer.
But although he had become friends with Qian Renxue, Xue Tianyu never revealed his identity.
Bibi Dong was no fool. Once she noticed anything unusual about Qian Renxue, she would surely connect it to him.
Before taking revenge, he would not give Bibi Dong even the slightest chance to turn things around.
The years passed one after another.
Xue Tianyu constantly sought people to check in with and traveled to new places to check in.
His strength visibly increased.
His Spiritual Power, speed, agility, muscular strength, and even resistance to various attributes all improved tremendously.
And among all his attributes, his Soul Power increased the fastest!
This year, Xue Tianyu turned twenty.
Extreme North, outside the Ice and Snow Palace.
The grown-up Xue Tianyu stood in the frozen wilderness with his eyes closed.
As he slowly raised one hand, ice crystals in the air condensed upon it.
A dark blue ice-crystal longsword appeared.
Then, the wind and snow across the entire Extreme North seemed to pay homage to their king as they swirled around Xue Tianyu.
"Snow Empress's Three Ultimates."
Xue Tianyu murmured softly. Waves of pressure spread outward, instantly suppressing the surrounding wind and snow, while the entire snowy ground trembled.
His aura rose wildly until it reached its peak!
Whoosh!
"Emperor Sword: Ice Pinnacle Unrivaled!"
Xue Tianyu swung his sword, unleashing a blue crescent containing peerless chill. A towering snow mountain in the distance was split in half in an instant!
Terrifying power swept outward, drawing all the wind and snow into the sky to form a snow tornado centered on Xue Tianyu!
Only then did Xue Tianyu slowly open his eyes.
A terrifying aura erupted from his body.
A Titled Douluo!
And a level ninety-six Titled Douluo at that!
Feeling the Snow Empress's Three Ultimates personally taught to him by Snow Empress, Xue Tianyu was highly satisfied with their power.
He dispersed the dark blue ice sword in his hand and turned to enter the Ice and Snow Palace.
At this moment, he possessed level ninety-six Soul Power and two of the most supreme martial souls. Even challenging a stronger Titled Douluo above his level would pose no problem at all.
Most terrifying of all, he was only twenty years old.
"You're back? How did it feel?" Snow Empress smiled at Xue Tianyu as he entered.
"The power is very strong."
Xue Tianyu gave Snow Empress's Three Ultimates extremely high praise.
"As long as it helped you." Snow Empress beckoned for Xue Tianyu to come to her side.
But at that moment, Ice Empress sprang out from the side and wrapped him in a hug. "Let me hug you first!"
Xue Tianyu was already taller than Ice Empress. Somewhat helplessly, he turned and hugged her back, then carried her with him as he walked over to Snow Empress.
Seeing Ice Empress lifted up in Xue Tianyu's arms, Snow Empress could not help laughing.
"Can't stand seeing someone else being petite, can you?"
Ice Empress shot Snow Empress a glare.
Snow Empress smiled, then pulled both Xue Tianyu and Ice Empress into her embrace.
Together, Xue Tianyu and Ice Empress enjoyed Snow Empress's generosity.
Xue Tianyu Reveals His Revenge Target, Ice and Snow Twin Emperors Support Him
"Tianyu, now that you've reached the level humans call Titled Douluo, is there anything you want to do?"
Snow Empress sat upon the throne, while Xue Tianyu nestled in her arms.
The soft sensation behind the thin blue gauze and Snow Empress's unique fragrance made Xue Tianyu reluctant to leave.
Compared with Ice Empress's flat chest, Xue Tianyu still preferred Snow Empress's much fuller figure.
Ice Empress sat listlessly on the side of the throne's armrest and asked Xue Tianyu.
Even though Xue Tianyu had grown up, he was still just a child in the hearts of Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
"Yes, you've been cultivating without pause all these years. It's time for you to relax."
Snow Empress gently stroked Xue Tianyu's cheek, her expression exceptionally tender.
Xue Tianyu sighed softly.
He knew this could not remain hidden forever.
After all, the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors had raised him for so many years. They had the right to know the truth.
He took a deep breath and slipped out of Snow Empress's embrace.
"Auntie Snow, Auntie Ice, there's something I want to tell you."
"Why are you suddenly so serious?" Ice Empress jumped down from the throne's armrest, leaned forward, and carefully circled Xue Tianyu once. Then, with furrowed brows, she asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Xue Tianyu shook his head. "I'm fine."
"I just feel that I shouldn't keep this from you."
Snow Empress could see that what Xue Tianyu wanted to say was important. She straightened up as well, her gaze settling upon his face.
"Go on. What is it?"
Xue Tianyu cleared his throat, his gaze shifting between Snow Empress and Ice Empress. "I know about my origins. I know who abandoned me."
A look of astonishment appeared on both Snow Empress and Ice Empress's faces.
Over the years, they had never avoided the subject of his birth.
So from their perspective, Xue Tianyu had always known that humans had abandoned him in the Extreme North.
He had even clearly told the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors that they and Xiao Bai were his only family.
Thus, the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors naturally assumed that matter had long since passed.
They had not expected Xue Tianyu to suddenly bring it up now.
Next, Xue Tianyu told them how Bibi Dong had given birth to him, used special means to conceal his existence, and then abandoned him.
Of course, he only told the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors that these were the results of his investigations at Skywater Academy and Heaven Dou Imperial City.
After hearing everything, Ice Empress silently walked to Xue Tianyu's side, grasped his clothes with both hands, and said softly, "You know so much... you're not planning to leave us, are you?"
"Can you... not leave?"
After so many years together, Ice Empress and Snow Empress had formed deep bonds with Xue Tianyu.
Now that Xue Tianyu might suddenly leave, Ice Empress felt extremely reluctant to part with him.
Xue Tianyu knew Ice Empress had misunderstood.
With a pull of his arm, he drew Ice Empress into his embrace.
"No, I won't."
"My only family is you two and Xiao Bai..."
"So I won't leave. Never."
Seeing the faint melancholy and sorrow in Xue Tianyu's expression, Snow Empress rose with some heartache and hugged him.
"Then why care about your origins...?"
Xue Tianyu rested his head against Snow Empress's fragrant shoulder. Looking at the Icebound Throne, he replied with a hint of hatred in his eyes, "If it weren't for you, I would have frozen to death in this icy wilderness long ago."
"I want revenge on Bibi Dong!"
