“You are such a heartless person. I have given you so much, but you are not even willing to call me mom!”

The Ice Dragon King was extremely unhappy, and a strong chill rose up, almost freezing the entire carriage space.

“Senior, I feel that this title… is inappropriate and does not suit your status.” Xuan Ming said.

“Identity? What? Do you think I’m too old?” The Ice Dragon King looked dangerous.

Xuan Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, “Of course not, you are a senior of the Dragon Clan, with great strength, how dare I complain about your age?”

“I dare not, do you really mean that?” The Ice Dragon King’s eyes became more dangerous.

Xuan Ming took a deep breath, “I don’t mean to be disrespectful, it’s just that this name is a little special to me, I… can’t say it.”

The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly, but the chillness subsided a little: “Special? Why, are you still thinking about the Pope?”

Xuan Ming was somewhat speechless, “How can this be related to her?”

“Don’t you have any special feelings for her?” The Ice Dragon King narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing it.

According to Xuan Ming, the female pope was one of the few people who treated him well and truly helped him in his short and troubled life.

Even if there are many calculations behind it, at least people are really good to him.

Utilitarianism and emotion are never contradictory, and there is no emotion in this world that is not utilitarian. There must be some attraction at the beginning of emotion, whether it is wealth, appearance, ability, or something else. No one will have any feelings for a good-for-nothing person.

Although Xuan Ming is young, he sees these things very clearly.

“If I say yes, you will definitely be unhappy. If I say no, you will definitely not believe it. You will be even more unhappy because you will think I am lying to you.” Xuan Ming said.

“So, your question is just making things difficult for yourself.”

The Ice Dragon King was choked by Xuan Ming’s words and his eyes widened, but he couldn’t find any words to refute.

“Forget it, you don’t have to call me mom, but… you can call me sister, right?” The Ice Dragon King came closer.

Xuan Ming was a little puzzled, “You are the high and mighty Dragon King, why…”

“Because she is childish.” The voice of the Fire Dragon King floated out.

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb!” said the Ice Dragon King unhappily.

“Little boy, you’d better go along with her, otherwise she will really be angry.” said the Fire Dragon King.

The Ice Dragon King, as the youngest of the nine sons of the Dragon God, privately has always called the Dragon God dad, and the Dragon God has always treated the Ice Dragon King like his daughter.

Now, the Ice Dragon King has taken a fancy to this child and treats him as his own child. Naturally, he also hopes that he can call him mother.

But seeing the child’s resistance, he couldn’t call her that. The second best name, sister, was already the limit for the Ice Dragon King.

If you don’t call me, she will be really angry.

“…”

Xuan Ming looked at the Ice Dragon King’s expression that said “I’m going to get angry if you don’t agree to it”, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

He could see that although the Ice Dragon King was extremely powerful, he still had a bit of childish willfulness in his bones.

“Elder…sister.” Xuan Ming finally compromised. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with the title, but he was just not used to these titles.

When the Ice Dragon King heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and the chill around her body instantly dissipated, replaced by a warm breath. She moved closer to Xuan Ming, swinging her dragon tail happily: “That’s right! From now on, you are my brother. With your sister protecting you, let’s see who dares to bully you!”

The Fire Dragon King sneered: “Look at how little you have achieved. You are an old dragon, and you still want people to call you sister.”

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb!” said the Ice Dragon King unhappily.

“That’s all you can say.” The Fire Dragon King said calmly.

“You!” The Ice Dragon King was irritated, and the icy air filled the entire carriage again.

“Sister, can we not argue with him?”

Xuan Ming said helplessly. The Ice and Fire Dragon Soul resided in his body, and with the transformation of the body by the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, this level of ice and fire energy conflict would not cause any harm to him, but the dragon soul’s breath leaked out, and the horse pulling was almost scared to death. If a fight really broke out, the carriage would be destroyed. He didn’t want to walk to the Xingdou Great Forest.

The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly, “For my brother’s sake, I won’t argue with you!”

Seeing that the Ice Dragon King was about to lose his temper, the Fire Dragon King stopped teasing her and said, “Little girl, the power of the dragon soul has only been mixed into your soul and has not yet been completely integrated. You…”

“I can teach you!” interrupted the Ice Dragon King.

“You don’t need to interrupt.”

“That’s right.” The Fire Dragon King didn’t say much and fell asleep again.

…

In a small town near the Star Dou Great Forest, Xuan Ming once again hid himself under the black robe, not exposing the conspicuous black dragon behind him.

While attending classes at Tiandou Royal Academy, he learned some information that the Xingdou Great Forest was the border between two empires, and neither Xingluo nor Tiandou had ownership of this primeval forest.

In the border town, there are even some fugitives who have committed crimes in the two empires and fled here. Anyway, there are all kinds of people, and the situation is extremely complicated. Coupled with the Star Dou Great Forest, which is a dangerous but perfect shelter, this place can be said to be a lawless area.

Therefore, the teacher repeatedly emphasized that if you have not reached the level of Soul Venerable and are not accompanied by a powerful Soul Master, it is best not to approach the Star Dou Great Forest.

The threat from soul beasts can be guarded against, but the malice from people is hard to guard against.

With the Ice Dragon King protecting him, he doesn’t need to worry about any trouble, but he still tries to avoid it if possible.

“Now that you’re here, can you sense anything?”

When they entered the town, it was already very late, so Xuan Ming found a hotel to stay in.

Although it is called a lawless zone, it is well known that once a large number of people gather together, order and rules will inevitably emerge, even in a hellhole like the City of Slaughter.

At least from the outside, this town is not much different.

“No, we have to go in.” said the Ice Dragon King.

“Where are we going?” Xuan Ming asked.

“You don’t have to get too close inside, but you have to at least walk some distance inside so that I can sense it accurately.” said the Ice Dragon King.

“Don’t worry, I will release the dragon soul aura after entering the forest, and no soul beast will dare to attack you.”

“But I don’t know the way.” Xuan Ming said.

The Star Dou Great Forest is very large. Even for a high-level soul master, it would take at least ten days to reach the core area from the edge. And it has to be a group action, and it does not include encountering soul beast attacks along the way, taking the wrong path, and the time wasted by walking into some complex terrain.

He didn’t have a map of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul hunting groups here would not risk their lives to move to the core area. As for buying a map, that was even more impossible.

Information about the Star Dou Great Forest is the biggest asset of the soul hunting groups here. They absolutely will not sell their own food.

“I will show you the way.” said the Ice Dragon King.

“I can still give the general direction.”

“What if there is a swamp ahead?” Xuan Ming asked.

“I can freeze the swamp.” said the Ice Dragon King.

“What if there is a mountain ahead?” Xuan Ming asked.

“Jungle, poison valley, cliff, what should we do when we encounter these?”

“Just go straight over there.” The Ice Dragon King said as a matter of course.

“What’s wrong?”

“…”Xuan Ming.

What’s wrong? You really are lying on my back and talking without any pain in your waist!
