Chapter 244 Jing Hongchen's "Satisfaction" with Ye Nanxiao
Although he understood the unspoken meaning behind Jing Hongchen's words, Ye Nanxiao could only pretend not to understand and said, "Family is naturally the most important thing; everything else is just external."
"Xue'er, hurry up and give me some advice! Otherwise, I'll be branded with the Mingdetang mark today!" Ye Nanxiao cried out in his heart.
Xue Di curled up on the fox-shaped sofa, covered her face with a comic book, and suppressed a laugh, her delicate shoulders trembling.
"Why don't you just give in?" Xue Di said with a smile.
Two veins throbbed on Ye Nanxiao's forehead as Xue Di's laughter echoed in his mind's sea.
Suppressing the urge to unleash the "Ye Family Law," Ye Nanxiao asked with a pained expression, "Xue'er, what else do you know about Zhu Qingbingchan?"
"Wait a minute, let me think. I seem to remember that the Zhu Qing Ice Toad can give birth to a king," the Snow Empress said, stroking her fair chin.
Upon hearing Xue Di's words, a glint flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes. He was thinking about how to break the current situation.
Jing Hongchen nodded, her gaze softening slightly as she looked at Ye Nanxiao, clearly agreeing with his words.
"Well said, Xiao Xiao. Come with me. The main reason I invited you to Mingde Hall this time is that I have a soul tool that I'd like you to test for me," Jing Hongchen said.
His fondness for Ye Nanxiao increased even more, and even the way he addressed him became more intimate.
Entering a laboratory, Jing Hongchen pointed to a large metal tank and said, "This is an idea that suddenly came to me. If it can be perfected, it will greatly change the current combat structure of Soul Masters!"
As Jing Hongchen spoke, he waved his hand at the metal can.
A surge of soul power swept across the metal can, and a green light appeared on the display screen above it. Then, Jing Hongchen's personal signature appeared on the screen, and the metal can slowly rose, revealing the soul tool inside.
A suit of soul-guided armor for the upper body slowly floated inside the jar.
Ye Nanxiao stared at the Soul Guidance Armor. There were numerous core arrays on it, and the core array on his chest made him feel slightly dizzy.
"What a profound core magic array!" Ye Nanxiao quickly looked away to dispel the dizziness in his mind.
"This is no ordinary soul-guided armor. I have discovered that a soul master's natal soul tool can be nourished with their own blood essence. So, what if soul-guided armor could also be nourished?" Jing Hongchen's eyes were filled with pride.
If his idea can be realized, it will elevate the overall strength of Mingde Hall to a new level, making it renowned throughout the entire continent!
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao was startled, and then exclaimed, "Jing Hongchen truly lives up to his reputation as the head of Mingde Hall. Even if his overall strength is not as great as the Guardian Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire, I'm afraid there are few who can surpass him in terms of soul tools."
Using one's own essence and blood to nurture a soul-guided armor as one of one's natal soul-guided weapons, this is the battle armor of later generations, and Jing Hongchen has already begun to explore its prototype.
Blue light surged in Ye Nanxiao's eyes as he forcibly memorized the core magic array on the armor.
But Jing Hongchen's next words surprised Ye Nanxiao greatly.
"Xiao Xiao, this armor is missing some data. I was so busy that I forgot to find someone to test it. Why don't you test it for me? It'll be a good opportunity for you to see my skills!" Jing Hongchen pulled Ye Nanxiao's hand and walked closer to the Soul Guidance Armor.
Ye Nanxiao was still completely bewildered when Jing Hongchen put the Soul Guidance Armor on him.
"What's going on? Why did Jing Hongchen put his precious treasure on me?" Ye Nanxiao tapped the armor on his chest, blinked, and looked at Jing Hongchen with a puzzled expression.
"The size is just right, and it adds a touch of heroic spirit to his appearance. What a fine young man!" Jing Hongchen was increasingly satisfied with the look, nodding repeatedly.
"My dear granddaughter has inherited my excellent taste in this area!"
Jing Hongchen reached out and activated the Soul Guidance Armor.
As the core arrays on the Soul Guidance Armor were fully activated, Ye Nanxiao felt his power continuously increasing. He casually waved his hand, creating a sonic boom in the air.
However, Ye Nanxiao keenly discovered that although his strength had increased, he could only use half of it, with the remaining power locked inside his body.
"This is a shackle!" Ye Nanxiao was shocked.
Ye Nanxiao quickly enveloped the Soul Guidance Armor with his mental energy, disregarding the dizziness caused by forcibly focusing on the core magic array on the chest of the Soul Guidance Armor.
"By the way, Xiao Xiao, what do you think of my granddaughter?" Jing Hongchen patted Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder and said, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
At this point, Jing Hongchen finally revealed his true intentions.
Ye Nanxiao's expression remained unchanged. He casually threw a few punches, looked at Jing Hongchen, pretended to think for a moment, and said seriously, "Meng Hongchen's talent is top-notch. She is also very beautiful, gentle and playful, and very likable. Moreover, her martial soul is also very powerful."
Hearing Ye Nanxiao praise Meng Hongchen, Jing Hongchen's smile grew even brighter, his mouth almost reaching his ears, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he rubbed his hands together in front of him, looking like a kind grandfather.
"So, Xiao Xiao, do you have any ideas?" Jing Hongchen asked affectionately, holding Ye Nanxiao's hand.
"However, there is one tricky thing about the Zhu Qing Ice Toad martial soul, which is the special cold poison that is born in the Zhu Qing Ice Toad's body," Ye Nanxiao said, holding up a finger.
Although Ye Nanxiao changed the subject, Jing Hongchen's attention was still drawn to Ye Nanxiao's words.
After quickly summarizing the information about the Zhu Qing Ice Toad that the Snow Empress had recounted, Ye Nanxiao said, "The Zhu Qing Ice Toad lives in the far north and possesses extremely high ice attribute cultivation, but its eyes are fire attribute. Since ancient times, ice and fire have been difficult to melt together. Ice and fire coexist within the Zhu Qing Ice Toad like yin and yang, maintaining a delicate balance. It is precisely this balance that gives the Zhu Qing Ice Toad its terrifying cold poison!"
"However, this cold poison is a double-edged sword. While giving Zhu Qing Ice Toad a powerful cold poison, it also has a backlash effect."
"However, I think the Hall Master should understand this." Ye Nanxiao subtly freed himself from Jing Hongchen's hand.
Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "That's right, this cold poison is indeed a double-edged sword, just as you said. I wonder what you mean, Xiao Xiao?"
Ye Nanxiao smiled mysteriously, "Does the Hall Master know that although the Zhu Qing Ice Toad is a rare species, it has a way to perfectly control the cold poison in its body, and the cold poison will not devour its master?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen, who had been all smiles, instantly changed her expression and became anxious.
The cold poison in Meng Hongchen's body still gives him a huge headache. Once he uses the balance of ice and fire in his body, it will become unbalanced. However, if he doesn't use it, the cold poison will accumulate in Meng Hongchen's body over time.
Each time the cold poison flares up, Meng Hongchen suffers immense pain, something Jing Hongchen desperately wants to avoid.
Jing Hongchen made a decision instantly. She pointed a finger at the chest of Ye Nanxiao's armor, tossed the soul-guided armor back into the metal can, and laughed, "We need to sit down and discuss this in detail. This armor is a bit in the way; take it off for now!"
With the "shackles" removed, Ye Nanxiao moved his wrists, glanced at Jing Hongchen meaningfully, and said nothing.
With a wave of his hand, Jing Hongchen summoned an antique wooden table. With another wave, a small wine pot and two small cups appeared on the table.
Picking up the wine pot, Jing Hongchen personally poured Ye Nanxiao a cup of wine.
"Please explain in detail, Xiao Xiao!" Jing Hongchen said.
Ye Nanxiao picked up his wine glass, and before even taking a sip, he could smell a rich and mellow aroma of wine.
Fine wine! If we could get our hands on the recipe, Elder Xuan could probably become our bodyguard!
Jing Hongchen was completely unaware that Ye Nanxiao had already set his sights on his wine recipe within just a few minutes.
"A king will be born from the clan of the Crimson Ice Toad, and this king will be able to perfectly control the cold poison in his body as if it were his own arm. This king has a name, the Crimson Ice Toad Emperor." Ye Nanxiao swirled his wine glass, freezing the spilled wine into ice crystals.
Jing Hongchen's eyes were filled with shock, and he kept muttering the four words "Red Toad Emperor".
Seeing that Jing Hongchen was stunned by him, Ye Nanxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, Xue'er, you spoke up in time, otherwise I would have become a live-in fox spirit today. This old guy actually wanted to force a marriage, how despicable! I didn't even have time to have any thoughts about the little poison girl!" Ye Nanxiao said angrily.
"So you really have feelings for the little poison girl?" Xue Di jumped onto the back of Ye Nanxiao's spiritual body, wrapping her jade-like hands around Ye Nanxiao's neck.
Ye Nanxiao subconsciously supported Xue Di, and then realized that he was currently in a spiritual state.
Patting Xue Di's thigh, Ye Nanxiao asked, "Xue'er, can the Zhu Qing Ice Toad really evolve? Like the Blue Silver Grass and other soul beasts, can a king be born from a species?"
Xue Di leaned close to Ye Nanxiao's neck, rubbed her pretty face against his, and said leisurely, "Indeed, a king can be born here, the Crimson Toad King. Its poison skills can dominate the far north. Tens of thousands of years ago, a Crimson Toad King was born in the far north. At that time, it defeated many powerful species in the far north with its poison skills and fought its way to the position of the Three Kings. If its cultivation had not been too weak, there would have been no place for that monkey among the Three Kings of the far north at that time."
"However, due to the small population size and the overwhelming power of its poison, almost every place it passed through became a forbidden zone for ordinary creatures. In addition, that toad king had an extremely violent temper, and tens of thousands of years later, it was besieged by hundreds of tribal kings of all sizes, which led to its demise."
"Since the fall of the Crimson Toad King, the Crimson Ice Toad clan has returned to the crevices of the glacier and has not shown its face again. I really don't know if the Crimson Toad King has been born yet," said the Snow Emperor.
"The Crimson Toad King can make so many tribes in the far north retreat. It seems that his poison skills are probably at their peak," Ye Nanxiao said thoughtfully.
