Chapter 123: The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament
Ning Bei saw the misunderstanding from the two beasts and quickly began to explain.
"You've misunderstood. Xue'er's identity is special, and she cannot stay for too long. Plus, my family should be worried about me right now. I need to go back and let them know I'm safe before I come back."
"This..."
"Actually, you can come with us. My Dan Tower is quite comfortable, and I'm sure you'll enjoy staying there."
"Okay, then I'll go with you. By the way, how is Xue'er doing?"
Seeing the little loli mention the Ice Empress, Ning Bei briefly sensed his sea of consciousness.
"The Ice Empress is currently in a deep sleep. I believe it will take a while for her to recover her consciousness. Let's leave first."
The beasts all nodded and did not raise any objections. The Ice Emperor had a hint of joy on her face. As long as she could be with the Ice Empress, that was enough.
After bringing the Ice Emperor into the Dan Tower, she immediately screamed as the fragrance of the pills enveloped her.
Ning Bei smiled but didn't say anything. Even if she was a cold little loli, she couldn't resist the temptation of free food and lodging.
He then retracted Tian Meng into his sea of consciousness, nodded at Qian Renxue, and with Ah Bao and Er Ming guarding them, the two walked towards Snow Moon City.
After half a day, they returned to the town. Qian Renxue, looking at Ning Bei, seemed to have something she wanted to say but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Can't bear to part with me? Want to travel with me? I have free shoulder pillows!"
The little angel ignored his teasing, and hesitated before speaking.
"You… you really plan on going to see my grandfather?"
"Huh? Don't you want me to meet the old man?"
Seeing her misunderstanding, Qian Renxue anxiously explained, "No! I… I just… haven't prepared myself yet."
Ning Bei chuckled at the little angel in front of him, not expecting her to have this side. He then gently patted her head.
"Don't worry. If I go, I'll go with you. Whenever you're ready, we'll go see your grandfather together."
"Mm!"
"Why don't you tell your attendants? Let's go together."
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue agreed. She didn't want to part from Ning Bei either.
"Alright, I'll go give them instructions. You get the carriage ready."
A luxurious carriage made its way toward Tiandou City. As soon as Qian Renxue got on, she removed her disguise as a prince and turned her head away, looking out the window.
Because Ning Bei kept staring at her, she felt embarrassed.
"Why are you staring at me? Are you annoying?"
Perhaps unable to endure his scorching gaze any longer, the little angel angrily shouted at Ning Bei.
"Tch, what's wrong with looking at my wife? You're really meddlesome."
"Who's your wife? Don't call me that."
"Is that so? Then I guess I'll have to find a few more. Yan Zi alone isn't enough."
"You dare!"
The once shy little angel glared at him, looking fierce, but Ning Bei, who was used to his shameless antics, immediately sat next to her and pulled her into his arms. She struggled briefly before quieting down.
"Hey, bad guy, can you do me a favor?"
"You can just ask, no need to be polite with me."
The little angel smiled softly and continued.
"For the Continental Soul Master Elite Tournament in two years, you should represent the Tiandou Empire!"
Ning Bei, hearing this, released her, stepped back, and looked at her with confusion on his face.
"You want me, a Title Douluo, to compete with those kids in a soul battle?"
"Uh!"
The little angel immediately realized her mistake, forgetting about Ning Bei's monstrous strength.
Seeing her slowly become discouraged, Ning Bei felt puzzled.
"Why do you want me to enter the Soul Master Tournament?"
Qian Renxue shook her head as if recalling some unpleasant past.
"I want to prove myself to someone, to show her that I'm not just exceptionally talented, but also capable of cultivating talent."
"Pfft!"
"What are you laughing at?"
"How dare you talk about talent in front of me? And your ability? You're talking about the skill it took to rush from Tiandou City to the Extreme North to find your husband?"
Hearing Ning Bei's teasing, Qian Renxue's liver ached with anger. "What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"
She gritted her teeth and activated her self-created soul skill.
"Raaaaahhh! Let go! Let go! Xue'er is the best!"
After a long while, Ning Bei finally managed to calm down the little angel.
Ning Bei sighed helplessly. He really couldn't control his teasing nature when it came to her.
"I won't participate. It's better not to let people gossip, but the candidates for the tournament can be gathered by Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We'll participate under the name of Tiandou Royal Academy."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she gave Ning Bei a sweet kiss on the cheek.
"Then it's settled! We'll step on the Spirit Hall team in the tournament."
Ning Bei was still somewhat speechless, thinking to himself that these two mother-daughter pair were really crazy, just torturing each other.
Feeling the little angel's attack, Ning Bei immediately pushed back, wanting a direct confrontation!
He then picked her up and pulled her into his arms.
"What are you doing? This is a carriage, stop messing around!"
Qian Renxue immediately struggled with all her might, still wanting to maintain her dignity.
"What's the big deal? Let's just go."
With a flash of white light in the carriage, Tian Meng, the Ice Silkworm, appeared in front of them. Ning Bei winked at him, then he and the little angel disappeared from the carriage.
Ning Bei wasn't one to broadcast live.
The familiar scenery appeared in front of them once again. Less than a day apart, they had returned to the Ice God Palace.
"This..."
The little angel looked at her situation and suddenly fell silent.
Ning Bei didn't give her a chance to speak and quickly covered her mouth.
The Ice God Palace once again played a magnificent melody.
Ning Bei: Writing poems for you, "freezing" for you.
Little Angel: The "initial" dream, firmly held in hand.
Several hours later, their figures reappeared in the carriage.
The little angel, looking at Tian Meng with disdain, didn't dare to lift her head. She flushed red and sat in a corner.
Ning Bei, with his thick skin, didn't care. He calmly retracted her into his sea of consciousness.
"I'm not a human, but you're really a dog, Ning Bei."
"What's wrong? You still want to watch the live stream? Not possible."
Seeing the little angel acting like an ostrich, Ning Bei couldn't help but laugh. He squeezed over, trying to get closer despite her disdainful expression.
"Remember to be careful of avalanches."
"Avalanche? Just a spoiled kid. Why should I be worried?"
"Heh, looking at him like that shows his disguise worked."
The little angel looked at the man beside her with eyes full of shock.
"Disguise? You mean…?"
"Mm, just so you know, Xue Xing and Xue Beng have always been in cahoots. It's also his request for Xue Beng to appear mediocre."
Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. Originally, she didn't care if he remained a spoiled brat forever, but now, it seemed different.
As the once shy Qian Renxue instantly transformed into someone with hidden killing intent, Ning Bei couldn't help but laugh.
"If there's a chance, try to get your hands on the Vast Sea Universe Shield."
