At this moment, Su Luoheng fell to the ground panting.
Obviously, his soul power has been exhausted in the battle.
The consumption of using the infinite sword technique at full strength is indeed extraordinary. If it were not for the dual soul cores to be condensed and the total soul power of one's own body to be comparable to the Ultimate Douluo, an ordinary soul saint might not be able to sustain it at all.
However, despite this, there was a faint smile on his face that was pale due to fatigue, and it was extremely bright.
On the other hand, the Snow Emperor, although he still looked elegant and calm, not as exhausted as Su Luoheng, his lonely expression was hard to hide.
The result is already obvious.
"Sister Xue, I won this time."
"Well, it's also my defeat."
Although Su Luoheng's soul power was exhausted, the battle in the infinite sword system and inherent barrier did not leave many scars on his body.
On the other hand, although he seemed to have some spare strength, he still left a lot of sword marks on his clothes in fatal areas such as the back of his heart and abdomen.
These were all left by Su Luoheng in the battle. If he hadn't withheld his strength at the critical moment, it would have been more than just a few sword marks on his clothes.
Therefore, although his condition seemed to be better than that of Su Luoheng, in fact he had already lost in this competition.
…
…
Snow Emperor raised his eyes and looked at Su Luoheng.
A pair of icy eyes showed an unconcealable complex look. In addition to a sense of relief, there was also an indescribable melancholy and loss...
Think back to the beginning.
On the outskirts of Mingdu, he took action to kill the killer for the first time;
In the soul fighting competition, Xuanzi, who was tempted to kill, was taught a lesson;
etc……
Pictures from the past can’t help but come to mind.
Ever since he signed the guardian contract with Yi Lao, he has been following the agreement and guarding Su Luoheng, who has not yet grown up.
At that time, Su Luoheng's strength was still very weak. In this crisis-ridden world of soul masters, he was the biggest guarantee of his safety. He resolved the crises time and time again.
However, as time goes by, Su Luoheng's strength is also improving rapidly. Starting from killing the evil soul master titled Douluo, to escaping from Shrek Academy...
There are fewer and fewer opportunities to take action yourself.
Unknowingly, Su Luoheng's strength had grown to the point where he could take charge on his own, and he no longer needed his own protection.
Especially when escaping from Shrek Academy, he even needed Su Luoheng's protection.
Although Su Luoheng also borrowed his own power that time.
But in the final analysis, it was Su Luoheng who saved him in the first place...
Until now, for the first time, he defeated himself head-on with his full firepower.
actually.
Snow Emperor didn't care about the outcome of this competition.
Although Su Luoheng's soul power was only that of a Soul Saint, and the result of a sparring session could not explain anything, no one knew better than the Snow Emperor how powerful Su Luoheng was after developing his sword skills.
Therefore, it is actually not shameful to lose in this competition.
What's more, she has always hoped to have an evenly matched opponent.
In just four years, Su Luoheng has transformed from a weak young man to a top powerhouse in Douluo Continent. Until now, Su Luoheng defeated him head-on in a sparring match.
Su Luoheng's current strength is equal to or even higher than his own.
In fact, this is good news for Snow Emperor.
Because Su Luoheng defeated him, which proved that he no longer needed his protection.
In other words, now that he has completed the contract he made with Yi Lao, he has regained his freedom. There is no need to continue to stay by Su Luoheng's side to protect him.
This should be a happy thing, right?
After all, when he first signed the contract, the Snow Emperor was always looking forward to the day when the contract would end. He hoped that Su Luoheng would quickly improve his strength so that he could liberate himself.
But why...
For the first time, I have an opponent who is evenly matched with me;
The contract that has always bound him is about to end;
Obviously these two things are worthy of joy...
But why did I, who was most looking forward to them happening, become so melancholy when they overlapped?
"..."
Snow Emperor looked at Su Luoheng quietly.
A trace of loneliness flashed through his deep eyes.
Although……
Although the Snow Emperor had already predicted that Su Luoheng would one day surpass him and no longer need his protection.
But she originally thought that this day would take a long time to come, but she never expected that this day would come so quickly.
But when it really came to this moment, the sense of disparity made Snow Emperor feel lost.
She didn't like this feeling of loss, but she knew that even if she didn't admit it, she couldn't change the fact.
Unknowingly, Su Luoheng had occupied an extremely important position in her heart. Her original desire to regain her freedom became an outcome she was unwilling to face.
This so-called freedom is not what the heart desires.
However, Su Luoheng finally surpassed himself.
The speed of his improvement is too fast and too dazzling. I am afraid that it will not be long before he can completely surpass her, the former guardian.
If this continues, her existence will become increasingly useless to him and she will be unable to provide any help. And with the Snow Emperor's pride, she cannot accept this.
"..."
Thinking of this, the corners of Snow Emperor's mouth curved into a bitter arc, and the sadness in his heart became more and more obvious. It seemed that his heart was empty and could not be filled.
This emotion has never happened before, but now, it is truly present in the Snow Emperor's heart.
Finally, the Snow Emperor sighed softly and threw all these chaotic and complicated thoughts behind him.
She knew that from this moment on, her mission had been completed.
Now Su Luoheng no longer needs her, and she has no reason to stay. The road from now on will be left to Su Luoheng to continue walking alone.
After regaining his freedom, he should return to his original position. The responsibilities of the Lord of the Far North should also be assumed again.
All in all, it's time to say goodbye.

"..."
Thinking of this, Snow Emperor slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened it again, his eyes were calm again and his voice was cold.
"Luo Heng, you are excellent."
"I thought it would take a long time for this day to come. I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would have grown to the same level as me. This is something I never expected."
"Now you have enough strength to take charge of your role on your own. The conditions of the original contract have been met, and my guardianship duties have also ended."
"I'm very happy to accompany you all the way here. But there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. It's time to say it's over. I'll leave it to you to walk on your own."
"Let's just say goodbye."
"I wish you realize your ideals as soon as possible and reach the top!"
"..."
Snow Emperor lowered her head slightly, and held her slender white fingers tightly, as if she wanted to grab something, but in the end, she let go. A feeling of loneliness and loneliness spread.
"Goodbye, Su Luoheng..."
Snow Emperor murmured in his heart.
Then, she turned around and walked away.
"Sister Xue, wait a moment."
Su Luoheng looked at Snow Emperor's back and called her to stop.
Hearing the sound, Snow Emperor paused slightly and turned around.
I saw Su Luoheng walking slowly, with a warm smile on his face, as bright as the sun.
"I think it's not the end yet."
Emperor Xue frowned: "Huh?"
"Sister Xue, I have found the enemy I really want to fight against now."
"That is the God Realm. I see that if we do not defeat the God Realm, the entire Douluo Continent will have no future. By then, the Far North will not be spared."
"So, I need your power."
"Sister Xue, are you willing... to stay and help me?"
"..."
Su Luoheng stared at the Snow Emperor.
This time, there are no contractual constraints.
Only the sincerity revealed in his dark and deep eyes.
The Snow Emperor raised his eyes and looked at Su Luoheng blankly. An inexplicable throbbing instantly surged into his heart, and the originally stale and conflicting emotions in his heart were also dispersed.
In fact, her true intention was that she did not want to leave.
Because if you are someone who really wants to leave, you won't find so many reasons for yourself.
It's just that the Snow Emperor lacked a reason to stay: facing Su Luoheng, who had surpassed him in strength, the Snow Emperor knew that she could no longer protect him.
That's why she chose to leave.
But now, Su Luoheng gave her a good reason.
The two have known each other since they met.
Su Luoheng naturally noticed the conflict in Snow Emperor's heart, and saw that the reason why she was entangled in her heart was not only because of her responsibility to the Far North, but also because of the contract.
Su Luoheng said softly.
"Sister Xue, I hope you can continue to stay."
After a long moment, she nodded gently: "...Okay."
Leaving the Snow Emperor behind, Su Luoheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Publicly and privately, he didn't want Snow Emperor to leave.
Yu Gong——Of course it’s the reason just mentioned.
As for privately, of course...
"Speaking of it~"
The conversation changed and Su Luoheng said, "Sister Xue, do you still remember the original agreement?"
Snow Emperor raised his eyes: "Huh?"
Su Luoheng looked at the Snow Emperor with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "What happened on that day in the far north?"
"The land of the far north..."
The Snow Emperor was slightly startled, with a trace of trance flashing in his eyes.
"Sister Xue, I like you."
"When we were in the Far North, you said that I was still not strong enough to be your man."
"Then I wonder if I am qualified now?"
"..."
Su Luoheng stared at the Snow Emperor for a moment, his eyes burning.
From Su Luoheng's accentuated tone, Snow Emperor was keenly aware of Su Luoheng's emphasis and expectation on this emotion. This love did not fade over time, but was remembered by him.
【Sister Xue, I don’t want to keep hiding it.】
[No matter what the final result is, I hope...]
【……】
[In short, as a man who wants to be my emperor, you are still far from it. 】
[This emperor is just a little bit moved. It’s really just a little bit. Don’t misunderstand anything...]
【However, it will be more or less the same later.】
[Sister Xue, I will definitely do it, that day will not be too far away!]
【……】
The conversation that day seemed to be echoing in my ears.
She clearly remembers every word she said at that time.
"Barely enough."
Facing that scorching gaze, Snow Emperor's eyes moved slightly, but a complex look appeared in his eyes.
She admitted her deep feelings for Su Luoheng.
And now, he has reached the premise he set.
Since the disparity in strength no longer exists, Snow Emperor's character is not an affectation or a drag on things.
Thinking of this, Snow Emperor took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart.
"Ahem..."
She raised her head slightly and looked directly at Su Luoheng.
"From now on, you are my man!"
Although her expression seems to be as cold as usual, there is an imperceptible shyness between her eyebrows. It is like the melting of icebergs and the willows blowing in the spring breeze.
Emperor Xue's response was straightforward and direct. There were no twists and turns or sensational words. There was even a hint that he could not refuse.
Only Snow Emperor can express his love in such a unique way.
However, such a domineering way of swearing an oath is in line with the Snow Emperor's character, which is bold and direct. Just like when he was in the far north, whenever a decision has been made, it will be implemented.
The Snow Emperor treats emotions the same way.
And such a refreshing and straightforward response is the unique charm of Snow Emperor.
In her opinion, since Su Luoheng was the first to confess her love, she naturally had to start by confirming the relationship.
If Su Luoheng has already taken ninety-nine steps on this road of love, then she should take this last step.
(`へ′*)ノ
Perhaps, this is the pride (tsundere) of the Lord of the Far North?
【……】
Su Luoheng also didn't expect that the Snow Emperor would agree so decisively. He froze on the spot with a look of astonishment on his face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Su Luoheng's reaction, the Snow Emperor raised his eyebrows. He looked at him leisurely, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Why, you don't agree?"
Her voice was very soft, like a feather passing through Su Luoheng's heart, tickling and tingling.
In an instant, great joy seized his entire mind.
The feeling at this moment cannot be described in words. In Su Luoheng's deep starry eyes, there was even more excitement and joy that could not be concealed. His bright smile was like a galaxy.
"good!"
While excited, Su Luoheng did not hesitate. He hugged the Snow Emperor into his arms, wrapped his hands around his slender waist, and murmured in a low voice: "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
I've been waiting for this moment for too long.
The agreement we made back then is finally fulfilled today.
The Snow Emperor was caught off guard and was hugged by Su Luoheng. His body stiffened for a moment. But she did not push him away. After a moment of silence, he put his arms around Su Luoheng's waist and leaned on his shoulders.
During the long years of loneliness, Snow Emperor thought he had become accustomed to living alone, and his heart was as cold as iron.
However, ever since I met Su Luoheng, the lake in my heart that had been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years began to ripple, and it had long been penetrated by warmth. Until now, I finally let go of all my defenses.
The warm body temperature intertwined and entwined, and the Snow Emperor closed his eyes. He quietly felt Su Luoheng's hot beating heart and his tight but firm breathing.
moment.
The Snow Emperor raised his eyes, and ripples appeared in his beautiful ice-blue eyes.
The eyes looked at each other, and each other's figure was reflected in each other's eyes. In the clear eyes, it seemed that there were thousands of words brewing in them.
"Sister Xue..."
Su Luoheng's voice was deep.
He gently held the Snow Emperor's exquisite face with both hands. His eyes reflected the stunning and beautiful face of the Snow Emperor.
Gradually, the two delicate faces kept getting closer, the tips of Su Luoheng's and Snow Emperor's noses touched lightly, and the two blazing hearts were beating. The warm breaths exhaled by each other were intertwined, and even the breathing became rapid and disordered.
.
The Snow Emperor raised his head slightly, his clear and transparent water eyes filled with sparkling light. His eyelashes trembled slightly and his red lips pursed slightly.
Their cheeks were getting closer and closer, almost touching. Feeling Su Luoheng's hot breath and heartbeat, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly felt her cheeks feel a little hot.
A rare blush appeared on the originally cold and beautiful face. Faced with a relationship for the first time, even the cold and aloof Snow Emperor was shy. It was rare for him to show an expression like a little girl.
But despite this, Snow Emperor did not avoid it.
The atmosphere at this moment is ambiguous and charming.
Su Luoheng could clearly smell the faint fragrance on her body, which was refreshing and unstoppable. Those plump and moist lips exuded a seductive smell.
At this moment, Su Luoheng's heart palpitated.
So he lowered his eyes, slowly leaned down, and covered his lips with his thin lips, imprinting on the soft and fragrant red lips of the Snow Emperor.
Finally, the four lips touched each other.
"Well--"
Snow Emperor's heart seemed to skip a beat.
There was a buzzing in her mind, and her heart was beating wildly, almost breaking through her chest. In the end, she chose to close her eyes and let Su Luoheng's kiss fall.
She has never had such close physical contact with the opposite sex. Even with the Hyokui who is the closest to her, she has never had such close intimacy.
Two beating hearts are close at this moment.
One is hot and warm, the other is cold and pure.
There was silence all around, except for each other's breathing intertwined.
At this moment, both of them forgot everything around them and were immersed in the world given to each other. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air around them also stagnated.
The only thing left in his mind was each other's figures and Su Luoheng's passionate kiss...
As a novice in love, Su Luoheng's kissing skills are not superb, his movements are clumsy and immature, but he is more sincere and passionate.
It can be said that it is all about emotion and no skills.
But for Snow Emperor, who was also doing it for the first time, this was enough to tug at her heartstrings.
The two of them suddenly felt hot and hot, their breathing became heavier, and their hearts beat faster. Not knowing what to do next, the two of them followed their instincts.
The Snow Emperor put his jade arms around Su Luoheng's neck, his red lips slightly raised, and deepened the kiss.
For a time, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, and the air was filled with pink bubbles, so sweet that it was suffocating.
Fortunately, both of them were high-level soul masters, otherwise they would have been in a coma due to lack of oxygen.
