Chapter 182: Encountering Heaven Dou Water Team
Although Bai Yu didn't know why Snow Empress was so serious, given her current state, even though Snow Empress wasn't fighting with all her might, it was still a proper battle.
But he didn't want to get beaten up, so he could only give his all, hoping Snow Empress would get her fill soon and let him off the hook.
"Boom!"
The collision of Snow Empress and Bai Yu's Spirit Ability instantly unleashed a surge of spirit power, followed by a violent roar that caused the distant snow mountains to continuously collapse, triggering a Xue Beng.
Afterward, their battle became even more intense. Snow Empress maintained her Domain Ability, Emperor Cold Heaven: Snow Dance Dazzling Sun, while Bai Yu also unleashed his Yin Yang Domain to counteract it.
The normally calm center of the Extreme North Land became extremely noisy and volatile under their battle, with snowstorms gathering one moment and colorful lights soaring into the sky the next.
"Hiss, no more fighting, no more fighting! I surrender, if we keep fighting, I'll be gone. Snow Empress, please stop!"
Bai Yu, who was once again sent flying by the snowstorm, simply lay on the ground and refused to get up, acting like a rogue.
It wasn't that he was cowardly; he really couldn't win. His spirit power was almost depleted, while Snow Empress was completely fine. Instead, he was bruised all over.
Since it wasn't a life-and-death battle, why would Bai Yu keep going? He just surrendered, and that was it.
Seeing Bai Yu huddled in the snow and not moving, Snow Empress paused, and the longsword she was about to swing stopped.
Then, she pondered, thinking to herself, 'Will this level be enough for Bai Yu to remember me? But he doesn't plan to fight anymore, what should I do?'
Snow Empress felt a bit annoyed, feeling that she had been too lenient earlier. She should have severely injured Bai Yu while he still had the will to fight!
It was fortunate that Bai Yu didn't know what Snow Empress was thinking, otherwise, he would probably shiver violently. What kind of demon is this? Still wanting to severely injure someone?
Isn't it just wanting me to remember you? How can you make someone remember you like that?
Afterward, Snow Empress asked somewhat reluctantly:
"Bai Yu, how about we fight a bit longer? I still have no clue about the power of laws. How about we try again?"
Bai Yu quickly waved his hands and controlled the surrounding ice and snow to bury his body, leaving only his head exposed.
"No more fighting, really no more fighting! This is my current state; I'm only missing a head before I can be buried. If we keep fighting, you can directly bury me!"
"Moreover, the power of laws cannot be comprehended through battle. That stuff requires understanding heaven and earth and nature. If you comprehend it, even just looking at the scenery is enough."
Snow Empress sighed, her ice sword dissipating. She looked at the ice house Bai Yu had built in the distance with some disappointment and softly said:
"Since that's the case, then let's end it. Oh, by the way, Bai Yu, when do you plan to leave? Now?"
"Tomorrow, I guess. Today is too tiring, both recording Spirit Beasts and fighting. I really don't want to move. I'd better rest for a night first."
Two months had passed since Bai Yu first arrived, and the polar day period in the Extreme North Land had long since passed. Now, sunrise and sunset were normal.
Snow Empress nodded, indicating she understood, then walked to Bai Yu's side, waved her hand to blow away the ice and snow on him, and softly said:
"If you're leaving tomorrow, then make me something to eat one more time, okay?"
Bai Yu's expression froze. He turned to look at Snow Empress. This was truly rare; in such a long time, this was the first time Snow Empress had asked Bai Yu to cook for her.
Bai Yu then thought seriously for a moment, feeling that Snow Empress's abnormality only began when he said he was leaving. Thinking about it that way, he somewhat understood the reason.
A bitter smile appeared on Bai Yu's face. No wonder she asked him to fight again and asked him to cook. It turned out Snow Empress didn't want him to leave!
"Alright, let's go back and eat. I happen to have the last bit of supplies left, so let's finish them all."
Bai Yu exerted a slight force with his arm and leaped up, then with a movement of his spirit power, he shook off all the snowflakes on his body.
In fact, Bai Yu had also considered asking Snow Empress if she could leave with him, but he felt the probability was low, so he didn't open his mouth, planning to take it slowly in the future.
Because in the original work, her leaving the Extreme North Land was initially forced. After self-sealing and then being sealed again, she was taken out by others.
Later, she was unwilling to return because she had enough of the lonely life and felt familial affection from Huo Yu Hao, which was why she acted that way.
But now it was different. She hadn't reached her 700,000-year limit and didn't need to self-seal, and there were two existences she cared about in the Extreme North Land.
Asking her to leave with him now probably wouldn't be very welcome.
And Bai Yu's idea was to take her to the human world more often when he had the chance. Once she experienced the bustling cities a few times, she would probably not be able to stand the desolation of the Extreme North Land, and that would be the right time to speak.
After Bai Yu, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress finished eating and rested for a night, they left the center of the Extreme North Land and walked towards the outer areas.
Originally, he planned to have Gu Yuena pick him up, but then he thought it wouldn't be bad to walk back himself.
Two years ago, he had returned to Soto City from the Extreme North Land, and now returning to Heaven Dou City from here again felt somewhat interesting.
"Hmm? Someone actually came here? But judging by the situation, this group seems to have encountered a bit of trouble?"
In the middle region of the Extreme North Land, Bai Yu turned his head in surprise to look into the distance.
Although the wind and snow obscured his view, Bai Yu could clearly sense the fluctuations of Spirit Ability explosions and the roars of Spirit Beasts over there.
Immediately, an interested expression appeared on Bai Yu's face, and he moved his feet, flashing towards that direction.
"Bing'er, take Yue'er and the others and leave first. Hide in the cave where we spent the night yesterday. With the size of these beasts, they can't get in there!"
"Yes, I will take them there safely. Aunt Han, you must be extra careful. Snow Owls, these Spirit Beasts, love to ambush!"
Bai Yu had now run to a low hill and was watching with interest the seven young girls and a middle-aged mature woman who were fighting Snow Owls not far away.
He had already recognized them; wasn't this the Heaven Dou Water Team? However, what he didn't understand was what their leader was thinking?
Hunting Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land was normal, but why would they run into the middle region? A high-level Spirit Emperor leading a group of Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors, coming here to seek death?
Then Bai Yu saw that next to Shui Bing'er, there was a young girl who clearly didn't want to retreat and even wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by her teammates.
"Bing'er, I'm not leaving! If we all leave, what about Mom?"
"Yue'er, be obedient! Quickly come with us. Only if we all leave safely can Aunt Han have a chance to escape. The longer we delay, the greater the burden on Aunt Han!"
Hearing Shui Bing'er's shout, Bai Yu secretly nodded. As expected of the Heaven Dou team captain, known for her calmness and wisdom, who could make Tang San doubt his life. She truly had a way.
