Chapter 230 Night Talk at Sea
Snow Woman, oh no, she should be called Snow Empress now.
Xue Di moved gracefully, walking towards Qin Mu with an expressionless face.
Seeing this, Qin Mu was about to tease her when Xue Di suddenly punched him on the head.
Xue Di didn't hold back much in this punch, so Qin Mu was immediately seeing stars after taking a solid hit.
Upon hearing the commotion, Yue Guan immediately appeared on the deck, but when he saw the cold-faced Xue Di and Qin Mu groaning while clutching his head, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Sensing someone appearing behind her, Xue Di immediately cast her icy gaze in that direction.
Under Xue Di's gaze, Yue Guan gave an awkward laugh, scratched his head sheepishly, and then immediately left.
It must be said that since that separation, in just a few short years, the Snow Empress's imperial aura has matured considerably.
Even though they were far apart, Yue Guan could sense the air of someone who had long held a high position emanating from her.
If it were anyone else, Yue Guan would definitely think that this was a big problem.
But that's the Snow Emperor's place. Why would their comrades, who fought alongside them countless times, come here to attack Qin Mu for no reason?
This is also why Yue Guan left immediately after a short stay.
As for why Xue Di was so angry, that had nothing to do with Yue Guan.
If he were to get caught up in the drama and be dragged into a duel by Xue Di, his old bones couldn't take it!
"Hey! Snow Woman, what are you doing? Is this some kind of special greeting from your far north?"
Qin Mu rubbed his head pitifully and complained to Xue Di with some dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?"
"Tell me yourself, what did you promise me when you left?"
"And you, you haven't even seen a trace of anyone in almost two years!"
Xue Di's tone was cold, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of resentment in it.
"Ahem, it's really not that I didn't want to look for you, it's just that something unexpected happened..."
Qin Mu knew that Xue Di was angry, and he also needed her help with something, so he patiently told Xue Di about his experiences over the past two years in detail.
"In short, the situation is different now. I am now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and I am subject to certain restrictions no matter what I do when I go out."
"It's not that I don't want to come to you, it's just that I'm too busy with work in the palace and can't find the time."
"The reason I was allowed to leave this time is because the situation at the Spirit Hall has stabilized recently, and I have found two helpers to handle government affairs in the hall. In addition, my spirit power level has reached level ninety, so they released me."
Hearing Qin Mu's explanation, Xue Di had already forgiven Qin Mu in her heart, but she still turned her pretty face away with a cold expression.
"Hmph, you are the Pope of the Spirit Hall, but I am the King of the Far North!"
"With just one word from you, I've traveled all the way from the far north to this godforsaken sea, haven't I?"
Indeed, long before setting off, Qin Mu had sent Ghost to the far north to deliver a message to the Snow Emperor.
Upon receiving this mission, Ghost almost thought that he had offended Qin Mu in some way, which was why Qin Mu had deliberately sent him such a deadly mission.
"Hehe, that's why my Snow Empress is the best!"
Helpless, Qin Mu could only try to appease Xue Di with a flattering expression, since she would still be needed to contribute in the battle a few days later.
"By the way, what about that Title Douluo I sent to deliver the message? He should be here soon, right?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a ghostly figure appeared on the deck.
Even now, the ghost's face still showed some astonishment.
He never imagined that the current Pope of the Spirit Hall would have such an intricate connection with a 100,000-year-old spirit beast!
Fortunately, Ghost had complete faith in Qin Mu, whether in his character, his actions, or anything else.
Since Ghost is now considered a staunch supporter of Qin Mu, he didn't tell anyone after receiving Qin Mu's mission.
Otherwise, the first thing Ghost would do upon receiving the mission would probably be to report it to the Hall of Worship.
After greeting Qin Mu, Gui Mei tactfully left the deck and circled the boat a few times before finding Yue Guan. She huddled with him, whispering to him, and occasionally glancing at Qin Mu and Xue Di from afar.
"My original plan was to use the Titan Snow Demon King as your ninth spirit ring, but I never expected that you would absorb it when you were the eighth spirit ring."
After the ghost left, the coldness on Xue Di's face eased slightly.
"When things are urgent, one must act expediently! If I were to cultivate honestly, who knows when I would reach the level of a Title Douluo."
"By then, your far north will probably be a completely different place."
"At that time, Ling Yuan and I were able to leave, but if something happened to you while you were fighting the Titan Snow Demon King, I wouldn't be able to convince myself otherwise."
Qin Mu's words, tinged with genuine emotion, caused Xue Di's expression to change slightly, but she immediately reverted to her icy demeanor.
"You think I'm no match for that gorilla?"
"How could that be! I was just worried about you, and besides, I didn't want you to get hurt!"
Seeing the gentle smile on Qin Mu's face, Xue Di felt much happier.
"But you're really bold. Do you know how many years your target is this time?"
Xue Di turned her head to look at the boundless sea. Night had fallen, and all around was endless darkness, as if it would swallow people up at any moment.
"This Deep Sea Demon Whale King has nearly a million years of cultivation! It is far more powerful than the Titan Snow Demon King!"
"As far as I know, after its left eye was pierced by the sea god, it has been diligently cultivating in the deep sea ever since."
"Now, probably more than 80% of his body has been transformed into a divine body, and he's not far from becoming a god!"
Xue Di was talking to herself when suddenly she turned to look at Qin Mu.
"Do you know what a god is? That's a realm above even the titled Douluo level for you humans!"
Qin Mu nodded.
"Actually, if I wait a little longer and get something, my chances of hunting down this deep-sea demon whale king will be much greater."
"However, I don't know how long this will take, and I don't want to delay, so I'm troubling you to make this trip."
"You don't mind, do you?"
Tang San, who was the greatest threat in the original story, had already disappeared.
However, Qin Mu captured Tang San's father, Tang Hao. Judging from Tang Hao's condition, Tang San shouldn't be much stronger.
At the very least, Tang San poses no threat to Qin Mu right now.
Right now, Qin Mu is more concerned about another dangerous person.
