Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King-Chapter 258: [DD2]:

The Snow Empress's beauty could almost be compared to Gu Yuena's.

She was cold, noble, and awe-inspiring, like a proud winter plum blossom, like a solitary star beneath a cold moon. She was born blessed by the heavens, pure and flawless, beautiful in every way.

It could be said that from the very first meeting, Su Yu was already captivated.

He had truly fallen for her at first sight.

Not like her?

Impossible.

The Snow Empress's breathtaking elegance still lingered in his memory—he was utterly enamored with her.

A cold and regal beauty—who could resist?

He certainly couldn't.

Seeing Su Yu's expression, a hint of satisfaction flickered across the Snow Empress's delicate face. She feigned disdain and said,

"Just one try and you're already caught. I knew it—you have ulterior motives toward me."

Su Yu, unfazed by her words, merely smiled lightly and replied,

"So what if I do?"

"What can you do about it?"

"Can you beat me?"

He reached out and playfully poked the Snow Empress's cheek, making her pout in protest.

"You're just bullying me because I'm small and powerless! How despicable!"

Frustrated, she grabbed Su Yu's finger and bit down—only to find that she couldn't even leave a mark. Angrily, she buried herself into his chest, flailing her tiny hands at his face.

Grabbing Su Yu's cheek, her big eyes shimmered with frustration as she cried,

"I want to grow up! I need to grow up!"

"You scoundrel, Su Yu, think of a way for me!"

"I know you must have a way!"

Su Yu let out a gentle sigh, holding her close as he sat down on the balcony chair. He placed her on his lap, one arm wrapped around her, the other softly stroking her snowy-white hair.

"Honestly, I quite like you just the way you are."

"But don't you like me better when I've grown up?"

Su Yu chuckled.

"As long as it's you, I like every version of you."

The Snow Empress was momentarily stunned, then quickly put on a disgusted look.

"Ugh~"

"You must think I'm as gullible as those foolish girls, Meng Hongchen and Wang Dong'er. I won't fall for your tricks!"

"Trying to sweet-talk me? You're 20,000 years too early for that!"

She lifted her small chin proudly.

"Of course, of course, how could I possibly deceive our brilliant and wise little Snow?"

"Our little Snow is far too intelligent to fall for mere flowery words."

Su Yu grinned.

The Snow Empress rolled her eyes and cupped Su Yu's face with her tiny hands. Suddenly, she looked more serious.

"Enough playing around—do you have a way or not?"

Su Yu sighed softly.

"I do."

"In our Ice God Palace, there's a supreme treasure called the Reverse Life Ice Lotus."

"This ice lotus produces a single seed every ten thousand years. It has miraculous properties—able to bring the dead back to life, regenerate flesh and bones, cleanse the body, strengthen the foundation, and elevate one's being to the utmost perfection. For an ice-element soul master, its benefits are unimaginable."

"Just one seed—only one—is enough to grant you an unfathomable transformation."

"There's another place, also housing a precious treasure, called the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid."

"Once matured, this grass produces ice crystal essence. If you consume it, your growth will accelerate instantly."

As Su Yu spoke confidently, the Snow Empress's expression grew strange.

"So... you knew how to make me grow faster this whole time?"

Su Yu nodded honestly.

The Snow Empress clenched her tiny fists.

"And yet you dragged me around aimlessly for over two years?"

Holding her gently, Su Yu looked into her eyes and said seriously,

"Little Snow, do you have any idea how precious these two treasures are?"

"They surpass even the hundred-thousand-year-old Snow Lotus you consumed before. Do you understand?"

The Snow Empress's small face dimmed.

"I understand now... I didn't think it through."

"Don't take it to heart. Just pretend you never asked."

Though she said that, her disappointment was evident.

Su Yu cupped her face lightly and said,

"I never said I wouldn't give them to you. You didn't think I'd hesitate over something this small, did you?"

"What I mean is—if you take these, you'll be mine. Are you ready for that?"

In an instant, the Snow Empress regained her usual spirit, swatting Su Yu's hands away.

"You never give up, do you?"

She gave him a disdainful look, pretending to be disgusted.

Su Yu tickled her gently, and she instantly broke character.

"You villain, Su Yu, you're truly evil! I—haha—"

"I—hahaha—"

...

A light touch and the Snow Empress burst into laughter, her face turning red.

"Su Yu! When I grow up, I will definitely—haha—get back at you!"

The mighty Snow Empress was completely at the mercy of the great demon king, Su Yu, crying out in protest.

Su Yu found her utterly amusing.

After playing around for a while, he planted a quick kiss on her cheek.

Watching her wipe her face in mock disgust, Su Yu softly murmured, almost like making a heartfelt vow,

"Little Snow, since I've taken you away from the Extreme North, I will take full responsibility for you."

"Neither the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid nor the Reverse Life Ice Lotus matter—compared to you, they are insignificant."

"You are the most important."

"As long as you never betray me, I will never betray you."

He kissed her again before carrying her inside.

Placing her on the couch, he reminded her before heading into the kitchen.

It was getting late—he had to prepare breakfast for Meng Hongchen.

The Snow Empress watched Su Yu busily working, crossing her tiny arms as she leaned against the sofa. She looked like a leader evaluating a subordinate, her expression filled with exaggerated maturity.

"You scoundrel, always scheming against me."

She muttered, though her gaze lacked any real resistance.

The fact that she allowed Su Yu to be close to her already spoke volumes.

But the Snow Empress was still the Snow Empress—she wasn't some simple, naive girl like Wang Dong'er. Her pride and competitive spirit were unmatched.

"Hmph, bold of you—flirting with other girls while still toying with me."

"You've got some nerve."

She pouted but then muttered,

"Though, considering he even dares tease the Supreme Sovereign, what am I compared to that?"

"This guy truly has guts."

"But... if he thinks he can win me over so easily, he's dreaming."

"My man must be stronger than me—only then does he have the right to claim me."

"Hmph."

She huffed proudly.

Meanwhile, Su Yu remained oblivious to the dramatic inner monologue running through the Snow Empress's mind.

He spent over an hour preparing breakfast.

As he carried the meal into Meng Hongchen's room, the Snow Empress squinted her eyes and nodded in approval.

"This little scoundrel does treat his girls well. At least that's one redeeming quality."

She bobbed her little head, critiquing him as if she were a wise elder.

Inside the room, Su Yu gently woke Meng Hongchen.

She was still drowsy, mumbling in a sleepy voice,

"Yu... spare me... I don't want any more..."

Su Yu twitched at her words, then softly coaxed,

"Meng, eat some breakfast first to regain your energy, then you can go back to sleep."

Calling her name a few more times, he finally managed to wake her up.

She nestled into Su Yu's embrace, acting coquettishly.

"Yu, I have no strength left. Feed me~"

"Alright."

Su Yu responded and began feeding her.

The porridge he made was fragrant and sweet, filled with various precious ingredients, making it incredibly nourishing.

After eating half a bowl, Meng Hongchen immediately felt more energized.

She stared at Su Yu, her eyes filled with deep affection.

"Yu, what if I accidentally got pregnant?"

Su Yu smiled faintly.

"Then I'll go to Illustrious Virtue Hall to propose. We'll get married on the spot."

Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"Really?"

Su Yu chuckled.

"Of course, it's true."

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Yu."

Meng Hongchen giggled.

With a smile at the corner of his lips, Su Yu continued feeding her.

Soon, the bowl of porridge was nearly finished.

After feeding her a few pieces of pastry, Meng Hongchen was finally full.

Su Yu gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of her lips, his actions filled with tenderness.

Meng Hongchen nestled into his embrace, enjoying the warmth and security.

After a moment, she suddenly remembered something.

"Yu, did you prepare breakfast for Wang Dong'er?"

Su Yu nodded.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

"I already made it."

"Oh~"

Meng Hongchen responded, biting her lip hesitantly before saying,

"Yu, do you know... Wang Dong'er..."

"What about her?"

"She is Wang Dong. Wang Dong'er is Wang Dong. Yu, did you know that?"

Su Yu answered without hesitation.

"I've known for a long time."

Sure enough, Su Yu's words confirmed Meng Hongchen's suspicions.

He did know Wang Dong'er was Wang Dong.

Meng Hongchen rubbed against Su Yu's chest and asked,

"Yu, when did you find out?"

"On the first day of school, when I saw Wang Dong, I already knew."

"Huh?"

Meng Hongchen was shocked.

She had assumed that Su Yu only figured it out after spending a long time with Wang Dong'er.

But it turned out he had known from day one.

That meant Wang Dong'er had been completely in the dark this entire time.

But Meng Hongchen had no intention of telling Wang Dong'er. Watching things unfold naturally was way more entertaining.

She suddenly felt curious—when Wang Dong'er found out, her reaction would be hilarious.

"Yu, you must keep this secret for now," Meng Hongchen whispered.

Su Yu chuckled.

"Meng, when did you become so mischievous?"

Did she think he wouldn't notice her little scheme?

"Hehe, I learned from you."

Meng Hongchen giggled.

Su Yu gently pinched her soft cheek, his eyes full of affection.

"Alright, now that you've eaten, go back to sleep. Get some rest."

"Oh~"

Meng Hongchen responded sweetly, slowly lying down.

After tucking her in, Su Yu turned and left the room.

After having breakfast with Wang Dong'er, it wasn't long before Yan Shaozhe came knocking again.

They were growing impatient.

After leaving a few instructions, Su Yu followed Yan Shaozhe back to Shrek Academy.

...

Sea God's Pavilion.

Top Floor.

Golden chains bound Xuan Zi, while a wild and violent aura swirled ominously between his brows.

Mu En looked at Mu Wu, his expression solemn.

"This is Xuan Zi. In a moment, I will use the power of Light to expel the demonic energy."

"I ask you, friend Mu Wu, to suppress the Taotie bloodline within him."

Mu Wu glanced at Xuan Zi, then looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu gave him a subtle nod, and Mu Wu immediately replied,

"Leave it to me."

At last, a hint of relief appeared on Mu En's face.

"When we begin expelling the demonic energy from Xuan Zi, we will need absolute silence."

"Additionally, any residual energy waves could be dangerous. Young Master Su Yu, please move to the first floor and wait for a while."

"Lin'er, escort Young Master Su Yu downstairs."

Su Yu shrugged indifferently and walked down to the second floor without protest.

Xian Lin'er followed expressionlessly behind him.

With her voluptuous figure, every step she took caused subtle yet noticeable movements.

"Friend, we leave it to you," Mu En said gravely.

Mu Wu's expression remained calm.

"Let's begin."

Without hesitation, Mu En raised his hand, and instantly, the entire Sea God's Pavilion lit up as though transformed into a golden sculpture.

A dragon's roar resounded as pure white light emanated from Mu En's body.

One yellow, two purple, three black, and three red—nine soul rings flashed brightly as dragon scales covered his entire form.

A chorus of dragon cries echoed through the space, accompanied by an indescribable aura of divine, radiant energy.

Feeling Mu En's power, Mu Wu's eyes flickered slightly.

But in the next instant, his gaze turned defiant. An overwhelming chill spread outward.

A white mist rose as a strange, colossal beast manifested behind Mu Wu.

A dragon-headed, turtle-bodied creature with ferocious fangs and a majestic presence.

In that moment, an unexplainable sense of dominance and nobility filled the entire space.

That ancient and oppressive aura even seemed to surpass Mu En's Holy Radiant Dragon.

But the most shocking thing of all—

Mu Wu's six black and three red soul rings glowed with an enigmatic brilliance.

Mu En's old eyes narrowed. The sheer density of Mu Wu's aura far exceeded that of an ordinary Rank-98 Super Douluo.

Even in his prime, Xuan Zi wouldn't have been a match for him.

Mu En could feel the immense threat radiating from Mu Wu.

This man... was terrifyingly close to becoming an Ultimate Douluo.

The Ice God Palace's foundation was far more frightening than he had imagined.

A flicker of wariness crossed Mu En's eyes as he spoke.

"Shaozhe, be on guard and protect us."

"Mu Wu, let's begin."

As soon as his words fell, golden light surged as Mu En activated the power of the Golden Ancient Tree, fully cleansing Xuan Zi's demonic energy.

Between Xuan Zi's brows, the ominous blood-red aura sensed the threat and erupted violently.

The golden chains shattered instantly as Xuan Zi nearly broke free.

At that moment, a withered hand pressed down on Xuan Zi, suppressing him completely.

Then, golden light engulfed Xuan Zi as dark crimson mist clashed fiercely against the radiance.

"Now!"

Mu En shouted.

A shimmering white light enveloped Mu Wu.

A streak of ice-blue brilliance radiated from his forehead.

In an instant—

A vast, unfathomable pressure descended upon the space.
