Chapter 248: Snow Queen's Choice (I)
"When did you wake up?" Luo Yu asked slowly, looking at the Snow Emperor in the Sea of Consciousness.
Xue Di thought for a moment and replied, "About half a month ago, you were still in seclusion, so I didn't disturb you. You did a good job. During the time when I was still awake, you basically didn't use my power, so I woke up smoothly this time. But I have something to discuss with you."
Su Yu looked at Xue Di's eyes that were changing from bright to dark and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Xue Di nodded, "Now your business is almost over, and if I don't go back, the Far North will be in chaos. Bing'er disappeared, and I disappeared too. There are many things that I need to go back to deal with. So, you have no choice this time."
"I know. How about giving me another ten days? I will leave immediately after ten days." Su Yu did not refuse. Looking at Xue Di's eyes full of complicated expressions, he did not make things difficult for Xue Di.
Xue Di sighed and continued, "If I hadn't come into contact with the master-servant contract, I don't think you would come to ask for my advice now. It would be great if humans were like you, but unfortunately..."
"Hehe, I have to go to the Far North eventually, and what I need is a friend, not a cold-blooded thug. There is still a long way to go in the future." Su Yu looked at Xue Di. Now Xue Di is becoming more and more worldly.
It seemed that she had witnessed many things following Su Yu, but as a soul beast she had never understood what human society was like from beginning to end.
This is a change in her own mentality. If she really plans to rebuild herself into an adult in the future, these experiences will be her most valuable assets.
…………
"Are you leaving again? Are you going to leave me alone again?" Wang Dong'er's eyes were wet, and she no longer had the arrogance of the past.
Su Yu gently wiped away the tears from Wang Dong'er's eyes with his sleeve, and gently held Wang Dong'er in his arms, "Dong'er, I know you want to know the reasons for many things. Ask if you want to ask. There should be no secrets between you and me."
"Then why didn't you participate in the competition?" Wang Dong'er stood in front of Su Yu, her hair brushing across Su Yu's face. She lowered her head and looked at the sapphire ring in Su Yu's hand.
"Dong'er, I am the only one left in the Su family's main line. Although I can participate in the competition and lead you to win the championship like I did five years ago, what will be the result..."
"The result is that Shrek still hasn't grown, and has always relied on our past glory. After we step down, it will be difficult for them to carry the banner of Shrek's glory. The Sun-Moon Empire has always been our object of contempt, but their strength was fully demonstrated in this competition. There are gains and losses, and this is the meaning of life."
"Just as I didn't want to lose you, I came back and brought you out of the encirclement of the Sun-Moon Empire."
Holding Wang Dong'er's hand, we walked along the shore of Poseidon Lake where we once played together, and scenes from the past echoed before our eyes.
However, for a long time, Wang Dong'er did not respond.
???
When Su Yu looked up, he was also stunned.
Standing opposite them was Wang Qiuer...
"What are you doing here?" Su Yu looked at the unromantic Golden Dragon Girl in front of him with some confusion.
"Nothing, just, just, just happened to be passing by..."
She was obviously not very skilled at lying, but looking at the strange expression on her face, you could tell that her purpose for coming this time was not simple.
"Hmm? Are you sure? Don't tell me that a large group of you just passed by here?" Su Yu and Wang Dong'er both noticed that something was wrong around them.
"This……"
Wang Qiu'er was silent, and Wang Dong'er buried her head behind Su Yu's shoulder with a blushing face.
"Aren't you guys going to class?" Su Yu didn't know why, he just felt the blood vessels in his forehead beating.
The good atmosphere was completely ruined by this group of people.
"Um..." Beibei was silent for a moment, then continued, "The Sea God Pavilion is holding a meeting, and they hope you and Wang Dong'er will go over there. It's about soul guides and the people imprisoned in the three empires."
Su Yu shook his head and said very clearly: "No."
"Why?" Beibei asked puzzledly.
"I don't want to go. What's more, I have already graduated. Shouldn't you handle these things? I have completed my mission and successfully brought you back from the Sun-Moon Empire. But I really want to know one thing. Why do you think I will help?"
"Wang Dong'er said..." Wang Qiu'er said very bluntly.
Su Yu: “…………”
Wang Dong'er: "I, I, I..."
"She also said..." Wang Qiuer recalled and continued.
"Stop talking, I'll go!"
………………
Poseidon Pavilion.
"The academy plans to have you sneak into the Sun-Moon Empire and rescue those imprisoned in the three empires. I wonder if you are willing to go?" Old Xuan looked at Su Yu and tried to keep his tone calm.
Because looking at all the current academies of Shrek, there are only three people who are qualified for this position, Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and Su Yu.
"No." Su Yu rejected Master Xuan's suggestion lightly.
Going to rescue people now would be courting death, because those imprisoned now are all the elites of the three empires except Shrek!
Even if they sent more people, they would not be able to rescue him, not to mention that his clone was there.
Saving people, what are you thinking about?
Su never does anything that is unrealistic.
"What! Do you know what you are saying?" Xian Lin'er slammed the table hard, shocking the Shrek Seven Devils present.
Gently comforting the frightened Wang Dong'er, Su Yu slowly raised his head, met Xian Lin'er's gaze, and said, "If Xianyuan Zhang still believes that he can withstand two full-strength attacks from Master Xuan, I can lead the rescue teams of the three empires to the Sun and Moon Empire to rescue the elites of the three empires."
"Dean Xian, are you able to do this?" Su Yu did not back down and continued to ask.
Not only the Shrek Seven Devils looked at Su Yu in surprise, but even the elders looked at Su Yu in surprise. They didn't understand what Su Yu was saying. "I can't, but what does this have to do with rescuing the elites of the three empires?" Xian Lin'er looked at Su Yu with some confusion.
When Mr. Xuan heard this, he seemed to have thought of something.
"The last time Master Xuan and I evacuated Mingdu, Luo Yu, the captain of the Sun Moon Team of the Sun Moon Empire, drove a soul guide giant and took two attacks from Master Xuan without dying. All the backups of the three empires were destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire. They can produce soul guides that can rival Master Xuan. If I lead the people of the three empires to rescue, our fate will be the same. This large group of people cannot be detained in the same place, and they will be closely guarded. I will not take such a meaningless risk with other people's lives."
"The only way to resolve the situation now is through negotiation, because we have not lost a dozen people, but thousands!"
Su Yu knew very well what his clone would do, and he also knew clearly what Xu Tianran was planning. In the current situation, even if Elder Xuan took Shrek's Titled Douluo with him, they would be surrounded and beaten by the soul guides and some of them would be disabled.
An unsolvable dead end!
What can we use to save?
"Is it that we can only compromise with the Sun-Moon Empire?" Yan Shaozhe looked at Su Yu with some pain.
He did not want to compromise with the Sun-Moon Empire because he knew very well what the Sun-Moon Empire would do.
"Eight thousand years ago, the three empires, led by Shrek, defeated the Sun-Moon Empire and forced it to sign a series of restrictive treaties. Eight thousand years later, the Sun-Moon Empire, as the defeated country, still crushes the three empires in soul technology and has even developed a soul guide that can compete with top Douluo like Xuan Lao. If we continue to despise the Sun-Moon Empire, I think if we go to rescue them, the result will be failure, and we may even lose more people, and the Sun-Moon Empire will go all out and kill them directly!"
"Given the hatred between us and the Sun Moon Empire, they are very likely to do such a thing." Su Yu's words were very light, but they sounded like a heavy hammer to the ears of Xuan Lao and the others.
There is no way to save them. There are too many people. We cannot save them all...
Let's negotiate...
A day later, the three empires sent representatives to the Sun-Moon Empire for negotiations. As a partner of the three empires, Shrek also sent some people to discuss the matter.
The meeting place was set in Maple Leaf City, which was the place where he had exchanged and studied with Shrek last time. As for why it was chosen here, he was one of the three major empires and was afraid that the envoys he sent out would also be detained in the Sun and Moon Empire, so he set the meeting place in Maple Leaf City.
The three empires each sent their own representatives, and Shrek's representative asked Beibei to go. As for why it was not Su Yu, it was because Su Yu had clearly stated that he would not get involved in matters concerning national affairs.
Especially this kind of talks with clear domestic implications.
For this,
…………
Because the journey was long and the climate in the Far North was too harsh, Su Yu did not plan to tell anyone about his itinerary.
At his speed, it didn't take too much time to enter the Far North. However, after Su Yu entered the core area of the Far North, he began to encounter continuous attacks from soul beasts.
Fortunately, Su Yu only repelled them without killing or seriously injuring them. Along the way, he sometimes used the aura of the Snow Empress to scare away the attacking soul beasts.
The strong winds in the Far North are extremely terrifying. If Su Yu had not used the power of the soul guide armor and the Snow Emperor's ultimate ice to greatly reduce the power of the strong winds, he would probably have been seriously injured by the strong winds not long after he entered the core area of the Far North.
The reason why the soul beasts in the Far North did not die out so quickly is largely due to the extremely harsh climate here. Once they fly in the air, they will be constantly attacked by strong winds. The power of these strong winds is comparable to the full-strength attack of a Soul Douluo.
Ordinary soul masters simply cannot stay in this core area for too long, and the climate here is also unable to sustain human survival, so the number of soul beasts in the Far North is extremely considerable.
In this harsh environment, without supplies, the biting cold wind and extreme cold are constantly consuming the soul power of the soul master. Moreover, even the soul master with ice attribute cannot survive for too long in the Far North, so the overall strength of the soul beasts in the Far North is also extremely strong.
But this may not be a good thing for Su Yu...
"Are you sure that in my current state, it is a good thing for me to go into the core area of the Far North with you?" Su Yu continued to conceal his breath and advanced into the core area of the Far North.
"I will tell you when the time comes. As for the rest, you don't need to worry too much." Xue Di's voice slowly sounded in Su Yu's mind.
The land of the far north is where the Snow Empress was born and is also her home. Considering the long life of soul beasts, the Snow Empress has not been away for too long.
But after experiencing so many things, Xue Di is quite emotional when returning here again.
She once wanted to be reborn as a human, but at the critical moment she was locked up in the Conferred God Platform by a human Titled Douluo. Finally, after many twists and turns, she appeared in Mingde Hall.
During the time she was in Mingde Hall, she had always thought that her life would completely dissipate one day and eventually turn into a human soul ring or soul bone.
"Go home..."
Snow Queen slowly flew out from Su Yu's spiritual sea and stood on the endless ice field with a complicated expression.
"Yes, you are home, and you can leave now. You and I have an equal contract now. If you want to go back, I can peel your essence out of my spiritual sea and return it to you."
Su Yu looked at Xue Di's beautiful face and sighed slightly.
Sending you thousands of miles, you have to say goodbye in the end.
I hope that next time, I can return to this far north.
…………
"Why, do you really think I'm going to leave?"
That beautiful figure shuttled across the Arctic ice field. Her every frown, smile, voice, and appearance were all so stunning at this moment.
Su Yu nodded. He couldn't guarantee that Xue Di would really stay by his side as he wished. In any case, he and Xue Di had already reached a cooperation agreement. As for whether Xue Di would continue to stay by his side until he became a Titled Douluo, he didn't care.
Looking at the elf in the ice and snow, Su Yu smiled indifferently and watched the Snow Emperor dancing slowly in the ice and snow.
"The choice is yours. I will be very happy if you stay, but if you choose to stay in the Far North, I will respect your choice. I, Su Yu, respect your choice."
The absurd life of the past will eventually come to an end. Everything about the Snow Emperor is now under Su Yu's control. As the Snow Emperor's strength recovers, his relationship with the Snow Emperor seems to be gradually becoming distant again.
"In that case, can you stay in the Far North for a while?"
Xue Di tilted her head and looked at Su Yu. She opened her red lips and spoke softly into Su Yu's sea of consciousness.
Deeply in Debt and Lifetime Series.
The Far North is coming to an end, please take care, everyone.
