Douluo: Bibi Dong Abandons, Snow Empress Raises to Adulthood

"Hiccup~~"

After drinking the milk, Xue Tianyu let out a full, satisfied burp.

Xue Di gazed at him, unable to resist reaching out and poking his tiny cheek.

Xue Tianyu opened his mouth, trying to speak, but all that came out were babyish coos and gurgles.

His little pink tongue even got twisted in the process.

Xue Di maintained her usual cold and aloof demeanor, but deep down, she found it amusing.

'This little baby... he really is quite cute.'

She reached out again, teasing Xue Tianyu.

Unable to speak, he could only reach out and grasp her soft, delicate fingers.

"He grabbed my hand~~"

A warmth spread through Xue Di's heart.

Though her face remained calm and indifferent, there was now a hint of gentleness in her eyes.

Bing Di, observing this, couldn't help but comment.

"Looks like you really like this little one."

She chuckled.

After all, having spent so many years together, she knew Xue Di all too well.

"Hmm. He's quite adorable," Xue Di replied coolly.

Her words were understated, but her emotions ran deeper than she let on.

The moment Xue Tianyu grasped her finger, his tiny, cherubic expression almost melted her heart.

'So cute!!!'

Of course, these were just her inner thoughts. Outwardly, she remained as composed and indifferent as ever.

Listening to their conversation, Xue Tianyu realized something—Xue Di might appear cold and detached, but deep down, she was kind and gentle.

If she were truly indifferent to the world, she wouldn't have taken him in.

Lying in her arms, he gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful woman who had saved him, his heart filled with gratitude.

'There's no comparison…'

His own birth mother, a human, had not only tried to kill him but had abandoned him in the Extreme North to die.

Xue Di, who wasn't even human, had taken him in and even found him milk to drink.

Compared to that, he would much rather consider Xue Di his true family.

As for Bibi Dong?

There was a life-and-death debt to settle.

And as for the Ice and Snow Empresses, who had saved him, he would forever be grateful. If he had the chance in the future, he would repay their kindness tenfold.

At that moment, Xue Tianyu recalled something.

Both Xue Di and Bing Di were rulers of ice and snow, yet because they were soul beasts, they had to rely on humans to ascend to godhood.

'This… this is completely unfair!'

Why should soul beasts be denied the right to become gods on their own?

Then he remembered—he had the sign-in system.

Maybe… just maybe, he could change this fate.

Recalling what the system had said upon awakening, he vaguely remembered that signing in to certain individuals could yield rewards.

He tried asking the system in his mind, but it remained silent as if it had died.

'Seriously? What kind of service is this?'

Still, since he remembered it, why not give it a shot?

And right now, he was literally in Xue Di's arms.

"Sign in—Xue Di!"

He wasn't sure if the system would activate, but if not, he would just find another place to try.

Fortunately, the system responded immediately.

[Ding!]

[Sign-in to Xue Di successful!]

[Congratulations, Host has received the reward: Ice Spirit Heart!]

[Ice Spirit Heart: Upon fusion, significantly enhances mastery over ice attributes and upgrades the Ice and Snow Spirit martial soul beyond the divine level, making it truly one of the strongest martial souls!]

The explanation was clear.

Xue Tianyu sensed a blue, heart-shaped ice crystal appearing in his consciousness.

Inside it lay a pure, boundless power of frost.

By fusing with it, his Ice and Snow Spirit martial soul would ascend to the highest tier.

Since he had nothing else to do right now, why not fuse with it?

Without hesitation, he began the process.

The Ice Spirit Heart moved toward his physical heart and started merging.

A chilling sensation instantly spread through his entire body.

For a moment, it felt like his heart had completely stopped.

But only for a brief moment.

Soon, his heart was fully replaced by the Ice Spirit Heart.

His mastery of ice attributes soared to unimaginable levels.

A pure and potent aura of frost radiated from him, expanding outward from his heart.

At this moment, he was ice and snow, and ice and snow were him.

"This aura…"

Xue Di, still holding Xue Tianyu, immediately sensed the transformation.

Even she couldn't compare to this level of ice power.

And she was Xue Di!

"No doubt about it, he is truly a child blessed by ice and snow," she murmured, a hint of astonishment on her face.

She couldn't understand—if this baby had such extraordinary talent, why had he been abandoned?

But ultimately, she didn't care.

If others didn't want him, she would raise him herself.

With that thought, she gently stroked his forehead.

Looking at his adorable little face, she couldn't resist giving him a light kiss.

"Don't worry, little one. If humans don't want you, we will take care of you."

Hearing her soft words, Xue Tianyu was deeply moved.

...

Over the next few days, sometimes Xue Di would hold him, and other times, Bing Di would take care of him.

Today, Xue Di was still meditating, so Bing Di had him in her arms, playing with him.

Gazing up at Bing Di, whose beauty was on par with Xue Di's, Xue Tianyu relaxed comfortably in her embrace.

'If I could sign in to Xue Di… then surely I can do the same with Bing Di, right?'

'Let's give it a try.'

"Sign in—Bing Di!"

[Ding! Sign-in to Bing Di successful!]

[Congratulations, Host has received the reward: Frost Dragon Million-Year Left Arm Bone!]

'What the—?! A million-year soul bone?!'

Xue Tianyu was completely stunned.

Signing in to Xue Di had granted him the Ice Spirit Heart.

Now, signing in to Bing Di had given him a million-year soul bone?

The rewards were insane!

Without hesitation, he fused with it immediately.

The Frost Dragon Million-Year Left Arm Bone granted him four powerful abilities.

First Skill: Ice Explosion Technique

All frozen enemies within a certain range can be shattered at will, causing devastating area damage.

Second Skill: Absolute Ice Domain

Instantly freezes everything within a wide area around Xue Tianyu. Can be combined with the first skill for instant kills.

Third Skill: Ice Spirit Shield

Two floating ice crystals orbit Xue Tianyu, forming a protective barrier. Any attack that touches the shield is blocked, and any enemy making contact with the ice crystals is instantly frozen.

Fourth Skill: Ice God's Spikes

Manipulates water vapor in the air to summon countless ice spikes from the ground. The further they extend from Xue Tianyu, the sharper and harder they become. Enemies trying to approach will be repelled, only to be impaled by the deadliest spikes at the farthest range.

After reading the descriptions in his mind, Xue Tianyu took a deep breath.

'So this… this is the power of a million-year soul bone?!'

With these four skills alone, hardly anyone of the same level could survive against him.

Hell, even fighting enemies far stronger than himself might not be a problem!
