Chapter 186: Speaking out of integrity
What worried Xue Di the most was yet to come, because the faint vital signs continued to weaken, and in the end, she could no longer even sense Su Yu's presence.
In the Starry Sky Forest, a man in black robes had a resolute and cold appearance. His long black hair hung down his back, reaching his heels perfectly.
He was Di Tian, and at this moment his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had encountered some kind of predicament.
Logically speaking, as the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, no one on the Douluo Continent could put him in a difficult situation.
At the same time, Di Tian, who was deep in thought in the Star Dou Great Forest, suddenly woke up and, sensing Su Yu's rapidly depleting life force, glanced coldly in the direction of Shrek Academy.
"Di Tian, what's wrong? Did something happen to the auspicious beast?" Seeing Di Tian's furrowed brows, Bi Ji subconsciously assumed that something had happened to the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
Di Tian shook his head and said, "It's not an auspicious beast, it's Su Yu."
"What happened to Su Yu?" Brigitte was a little confused. As an important member of Shrek Academy, Su Yu couldn't possibly be in trouble.
"I don't know why, but he appeared in a strange place that isolated my aura. His life force has been draining away for the past five days, and now he is almost on the verge of death. I tried to use my power to attach to that dragon scale to save his life force, but I failed." Di Tian looked at the place where Shrek was and sighed deeply.
Su Yu, this human, is not an important figure to the soul beasts, but the methods he researches can save them from extinction. If Su Yu's future research succeeds, then the soul beasts will no longer have to worry about being hunted by humans and facing the fate of racial extinction.
However, Di Tian said that this human was already on his deathbed!
At this moment, when Di Tianyi said that Su Yu was in trouble, it was like a bolt from the blue for them.
How could Brigitte not be shocked upon receiving this news?
In fact, it's not just her. If Di Tian spreads this news to other ferocious beasts, the impact will undoubtedly be even greater, because this is not aimed at Su Yu, but at all of their soul beasts!
Now, their lives and deaths before the Silver Dragon King fully recovers are completely tied to Su Yu!
"Don't spread this yet; I need to speak with the Lord."
After uttering those words, Di Tian vanished from the spot.
Little did anyone know that Su Yu was still struggling to hold on. If it weren't for Elder Yi stabilizing his mental state, Su Yu would have collapsed long ago.
This kind of pain originating from the nerves is something that humans simply cannot control or endure. His skin, fascia, flesh, and internal organs are constantly being destroyed and reorganized. Su Yu couldn't help but marvel at the power of half of the essence of the 100,000-year-old immortal herb. Fortunately, he hadn't been greedy back then. If he had taken it all, he probably would have been burst long ago.
This was only after he absorbed almost all of the life-giving metal, making his body incredibly strong, and he could barely absorb it all. If he really wanted it all, he probably would have to sacrifice both the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass to absorb it.
Of course, these are all just speculations, but Su Yu still wouldn't dare to take any risks, after all, he has an extremely clear understanding of his own strength and physical abilities.
Day .
Seventh day.
…………
On the tenth day, a fluctuation emanated from the spring within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Following this fluctuation, Su Yu's aura began to slowly recover.
puff!
Su Yu spat out a mouthful of dark, stagnant blood. As he expelled the blood, he felt that the last impurity had been completely expelled.
Having undergone the refinement of the gold of life, the baptism of the power of fate, and now the tempering of the ice and fire alchemy body.
Su Yu felt that there was only one thing he needed to do now: improve his strength!
"It seems you've recovered quite well. With the help of the primal power of those immortal herbs, you appear to have undergone a new transformation?" The Snow Empress above the icy spring slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Su Yu.
"This is quite a harvest! With the help of the icy spring, you've recovered quite a bit, haven't you? Wait, what's with that look?"
Seeing Xue Di's ambiguous smile, Su Yu instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"Su Yu, don't you think you're missing something right now?" Xue Di's lips curled up slightly as she looked at Su Yu, who was standing at the confluence of the ice spring and the fire spring, with great interest.
"Holy crap, Snow Empress, you..."
Su Yu looked down and realized that all his clothes were gone. He then understood what Xue Di's amused smile meant.
He immediately felt his face turn red. If Xue Di's strength hadn't been so terrifying, he would have said a few more lewd things to her.
A golden light flashed, and Su Yu, already fully dressed, appeared outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's there to be shy about? I've cultivated for 700,000 years, what kind of humans haven't I seen?"
Xue Di lazily curled her lip, looking at Su Yu with disdain. Ha, human.
"Snow Empress, if you're going to act like this, then don't blame me for being impolite." Su Yu looked at Snow Empress's lazy and disdainful appearance and immediately felt that Snow Empress had completely gained the upper hand.
"You're just a mere Soul King? What can you do? I'm not the same little Snow Maiden you used to be."
As if in retaliation, Xue Di beckoned to Su Yu with her finger, her beautiful eyes filled with mockery.
"You said it yourself, don't regret it later!" Su Yu looked at Xue Di's smug expression and immediately thought of the master-servant agreement that Elder Yi had secretly added back then.
Snow Empress strode up to Su Yu, her long, slender legs almost touching his forehead. "When have I, Snow Empress, ever been afraid? You're just a mere Soul King. What do you expect me to do? Are you going to shamelessly claim you're my mother, or are you going to bring up the matter of Little Snow Maiden right now?"
"Call me 'Mom' so I can hear it." Su Yu looked at Xue Di's peerless face, and even his breathing became a little rapid at such close proximity.
He strongly suspected that Xue Di did it on purpose, just to see him make a fool of himself, so as to avenge the shame of having to acknowledge his mother.
"Do you think I'd believe such a trick, humph, Mom..." Xue Di stared wide-eyed in surprise, not understanding why she had blurted out "Mom" as if possessed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you said you didn't want to, but look, you still admitted it." Su Yu looked at Xue Di's surprised expression, spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
"You, you, you..." Xue Di's beautiful face was now completely blushing. She looked like a shy young girl, no longer the stunning empress she had been before.
"My good daughter, call me again. I'm so proud of you for being such a good girl."
Su Yu waved to Xue Di and looked at her with a smile.
"What did you do to me? I... how could I..."
Xue Di stared intently at Su Yu, and for some reason, she felt no hatred whatsoever for this human who had offended her.
"It's nothing, just a way to save your life. After all, you weren't always this obedient back then." Su Yu came to the ice spring and sat down opposite Xue Di.
"I advise you not to try any tricks on me, or I'll kill you without hesitation!" The blush on Xue Di's face had not yet faded, and she spoke in a calm tone with a hint of coquetry.
"I know, but you also know that with your strength, you could easily kill me before my life-saving measures take effect. Perhaps in the past, you were simply important to me, and I could even kill you outright if I wanted to. However, I think..."
At this point, Su Yu paused, then looked up at Xue Di's ethereal and beautiful eyes.
Xue Di was puzzled. He couldn't see through Su Yu. She could calculate everything perfectly, even suppressing him, a soul beast with 700,000 souls. But now, she had a feeling that Su Yu was going to tell her everything. "What do you think it is?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that if all the puppets I control don't have their own consciousness, then they all lose the original meaning of things, including you, of course." Su Yu pointed to his brow, and then a complex contract array appeared at his fingertip.
"Including me? You mean...?" Upon hearing the phrase "including me," Xue Di suddenly realized a terrifying truth: if what he said was true, then wouldn't she also be controlled by him like a puppet...?
"That's right. Although it was out of necessity at the time, I think it's unnecessary now. Extend your hands, and I'll revise our contract." Su Yu pricked his fingertip and used his blood as a guide to continuously inscribe the contract array.
As she watched the slowly forming contract array, Xue Di felt somewhat dazed. "You mean there's a problem with our previous contract? If there's a problem, what kind of contract is it?"
"Master-servant contract, I wasn't capable of doing that back then. If you want to ask, ask my teacher. However, if you don't want to change it, that's fine too." Su Yu continued to inscribe the contract formation, no longer paying attention to Xue Di's expression.
A master-servant contract?!
It's a master-servant contract!
Why did Su Yu tell me this, and even modify the contract for me?
Wouldn't having a master-servant contract allow for better control? It could even enslave you, making you sacrifice yourself to become its spirit ring, and you could even obtain the 100,000-year-old spirit bone that humans dream of!
However, once the master-servant contract is lost, nothing will be in Su Yu's favor anymore; on the contrary, Xue Di will gain more benefits!
With the help of Su Yu's power, she can cultivate into human form more quickly, complete the sublimation of her power, and even go further!
"Why do you want to help me?" Xue Di pondered for a long time and finally realized that no matter how you looked at it, it was entirely beneficial to her.
Su Yu clasped his hands together, and when he opened them again, the contract formation was complete. "It's nothing. I just thought it would be better to have another trustworthy person. Of course, I can't rule out that I had some selfish motives at the time, but now I'd rather you call me 'Mom,' hahaha..."
"You, you're asking for death!" Xue Di felt ashamed and furious when she heard her mother's words, and wished she could beat Su Yu, that bastard, to death with one slap.
"Alright, alright, do you still want to be a servant? If not, then use this equal contract to replace that master-servant contract."
As the two placed their palms on the magic circle, a purple-gold light slowly disappeared between their brows. As the light spread throughout their bodies, an unusual color appeared in Xue Di's beautiful eyes.
At the same time, a strange light appeared in Su Yu's eyes. Suppressing this feeling, Su Yu got up and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. "You can rest here..."
After leaving those words, Su Yu let out a breath and disappeared from Xue Di's sight.
"So, this is his plan. What an interesting little fellow." The Snow Empress's lips curled up slightly as she looked at the drop of blood floating in her palm. She used a little of her soul power, and the drop of blood was frozen by the Snow Empress and eventually disappeared between her eyebrows.
Outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Su Yu watched as the Snow Empress continued to absorb the ice spring, pondering whether his decision was right or wrong.
"Su Yu, the master-servant contract is over just like that. You may lose a Limit Douluo-level fighter and bodyguard." Elder Yi's voice rang in Su Yu's mind.
"Teacher, do you think I did the right thing?" Su Yu smiled calmly, looking at the drop of pure white blood in his palm.
"If you think it's right, then it's right. Actually, whether it's right or wrong, you already have the answer in your heart when you ask me, so there's no need for me to answer." Old Yi didn't answer Su Yu's question. In the years he had spent with Su Yu, his understanding of Su Yu far surpassed that of anyone else.
"Yes, I already knew the answer in my heart. Whether it's now or in the future, one day she will find out about the master-servant contract between us. Rather than lying, I'd rather be honest. Maybe I wouldn't have chosen to believe her back then, but it's different now. Whether there's a master-servant contract or not, it's all the same."
Su Yu slowly closed his eyes and entered into cultivation, silently refining the medicinal power of the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng that he had not yet absorbed.
"This little guy, although he was indeed a bit annoying before, now it seems he's just all talk. But among humans, to encounter such an extraordinary person is truly my good fortune, Snow Empress. If it were any other human, they probably would have just..."
"Su Yu, it seems that Di Tian made the right choice. You are a trustworthy human being."
Snow Empress slowly rose from the icy spring, her beautiful eyes revealing a complexity she had never shown in her seven hundred thousand years of life.
When she looked at Su Yu again, the complex emotions in her eyes transformed into a stream of light, dissipating beside Su Yu and into the night...
A series to be completed in one's lifetime.
Stop asking, the answer is the author doesn't have time to update.
