Chapter 627 - Boring Holidays

627 – Boring Holidays

Qian Lei was helpless as well. “I didn’t ask to look like this either! In the past, I thought that I was just a handsome man who would rely on his brain and Spiritual Power to make a living, but who knew that I would become this tall, strong, and upright person.”

Qian Lei’s mother rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, go on.”

Qian Lei bent down, hugged his mother, and planted a kiss on her face before running away.

Qian Lei’s mother couldn’t help but laugh and slap him on the back. She scoffed and muttered to herself, “My little fatty of the past was cuter.”

When Qian Lei was young, he actually looked very much like his mother, as if they were carved from the same mold. He was also extremely doted on.

But ever since his “transformation”, the huge change in his body made him no longer resemble his mother. He was almost chased out when he returned for the first time.

“Frenzie, why are you here? You missed your brother after being apart for a few days?” Qian Lei saw Liu Feng in the living room.

Liu Feng had grown a lot taller and was almost 1.8 meters tall. He had a reserved temperament, but there was an invisible sharpness to him. He wasn’t particularly handsome or dashing, but he had a unique temperament. His eyes were bright and full of spirit. He was tall and thin, but he was filled with strength.

“I came to look for you because I was bored.” Liu Feng shrugged.

Qian Lei said, “That’s right! I’m very bored too, but Boss told us to rest well when we’re back and not cultivate. This made me not know what to do.”

After getting used to the hard work of cultivating and being busy everyday, they were somewhat at a loss when they were truly free.

Liu Feng said, “Why don’t we spar? I haven’t fought with you in a long time.”

Qian Lei smacked his lips and said, “No thank you, fighting with you is too painful. Also, I can’t really hurt you, so it will definitely be a draw in the end. I will be the only one with my entire body hurting all over. No way, no way. We’ll talk about it after we break through. At that time, we’ll see what happens after you fuse with the Thorn Dragon.”

Liu Feng said, “I just like fighting with you. Your skin is rough and your flesh thick, and I can’t break you.”

Qian Lei said in annoyance, “That’s because I’m afraid of hurting you. Don’t forget that Fatty Jin is known for eating dragons. Hmph.”

In terms of true strength, Liu Feng wasn’t Qian Lei’s match at the moment. Ever since Qian Lei fused with the Golden Behemoth and his strength increased explosively, his overall strength in the entire team was ranked at the top and he had become the main tank of the team.

Liu Feng said, “Is your Sky Wing done? Not yet?”

Upon hearing him mention Sky Wing, Qian Lei’s face darkened. “No, my body is quite unique. I’m afraid that I’ll grow taller in the future!” Upon mentioning his figure, he started to frown.

Sky Wing was the name of their mechas, and this name was given by Tang Zhenhua. Other than Qian Lei, the seven of them already had their own Sky Wing, but Qian Lei was too tall and sturdy, plus he was still in his puberty, who knew if he would grow taller in the future! Hence, it was naturally more difficult for him to manufacture his Sky Wing than the others, and he had yet to complete it.

Seeing that his teammates had their own mechas and had completely become a Duo Mecha Master, how could he not be anxious?

Liu Feng chuckled. “The feeling of becoming one with a Sky Wing is amazing. It feels like an extension of your body. Especially when we change form, it’s extremely cool.”

“You’re here to disgust me, right? Alright, let’s spar. I’ll let you know how strong I am.”

Heaven Dou Planet, Beidou City.

Beidou City was situated at the northernmost part of Heaven Dou Planet and the temperature was below zero all year round. When it was at its coldest, it could reach -50 degrees. It was not suitable for ordinary people.

Hence, Beidou City wasn’t big and there was only one race living here. This race had migrated from the extreme north of the Mother Planet.

Following the evolution of the Mother Planet, the temperature in the extreme north of the Mother Planet had dropped to a terrifying degree, and the occasional ice tide would be less than -100 degrees. Hence, it was no longer suitable for survival.

The Ice Clan had lived in the extreme north of Douluo Planet for countless years, but they had no choice but to migrate due to the environment.

They were used to living in the cold and a high temperature would make them uncomfortable. Hence, after careful consideration, the Federation moved them to Beidou City.

The temperature here was similar to where they used to live and the environment was similar as well. There were about 500,000 Icemen in Beidou City, the entire clan’s population was there.

The Ice Clan had a strange trait, and that was that when they gave birth, most of them were girls. Hence, this place was also a more maternal environment. When there was a problem with reproduction, the young girls of the Ice Clan would leave their hometown and go far away to find a man suitable for reproducing with them. But their hearts were similar to ice and it was very difficult for them to fall in love. Hence, many of them returned to Beidou City after getting pregnant, and very few of them actually married ordinary humans.

Lan Mengqin was a unique example. She was born in Beidou City and not only had a mother but also a father.

The young girls from the Ice Clan were all very beautiful, and cold. But Lan Mengqin’s father was an artist, an artist who played the zither. His Martial Soul was the Jade Phoenix Zither, but the strange thing was that his Jade Phoenix Zither didn’t have any soul power. So, Lan Mengqin’s father was just an ordinary person.

On the contrary, Lan Mengqin’s mother was the successor of the leader of the Ice Clan. Even in modern society, the Ice Clan had always maintained tradition and passed down the bloodline of the clan leader because this bloodline had the extremely rare Heavenly Ice Snow Woman Martial Soul.

From a human’s point of view, Heavenly Ice Snow Women were regarded as soul beasts, but in the eyes of the Ice Clan, they were their guardian spirits. Strangely, the past generations of Ice Clan leaders all had the Heavenly Ice Snow Woman Martial Soul. Even the Ice Clan themselves didn’t know why this was the case, but the inheritance of this bloodline had always been recognized by the entire Ice Clan.

As the Ice Clan rarely left their own territory, they remained nameless in the world of human soul masters.

Lan Mengqin’s mother left the Ice Clan in search of a man suitable for her to give birth to. Her ice-cold heart melted under Lan Mengqin’s father’s zither music and she actually fell in love with an ordinary human. She even had the thought of giving up her position as clan leader.

However, her bloodline was a unique bloodline! It was as if she had given up on having no successor. At the same time, Lan Mengqin’s father had fallen in love with her mother. He ignored the extreme cold and returned to Beidou City with her.

The melodious sound of the zither resounded in the air, and it was as gentle as a flowing stream after a glacier melted, nourishing everything around it.

Under the lingering sound of the zither, the snow-covered Beidou City seemed to be enshrouded in a layer of vibrant spring.

Lan Mengqin sat in the center of the Beidou Square in the middle of the ice and snow. There was a high platform here that the Ice Clan used to worship the heavens.

As the successor of the Ice Clan’s leader, Lan Mengqin was sitting there playing her Jade Phoenix Zither.

Not far away from her sat a gentle-looking, middle-aged man with an ancient zither in front of him. The zither was white and the sound of his zither curled up and echoed in the air. It complemented Lan Mengqin’s zither music and became her perfect supplement.

A gentle green halo rippled out from Lan Mengqin’s zither. At this moment, the plaza was already filled with people, all from the Ice Clan.

They listened to the melodious music in a daze and felt the vitality deep in their hearts. Everyone’s spirits became unprecedentedly strong.

A smile remained on Ruo Ye’s face as he played the Jade Phoenix Zither in front of him. His gaze would occasionally land on his daughter.

His daughter’s Jade Phoenix Zither had changed and was now filled with vitality. But ever since she had this greenness, her daughter’s attainments in zither had improved by leaps and bounds. She was no longer a terrible zither musician that could only unleash soul skills.
