In midair, Han Nuan spread her icy blue wings.
"What is it, Ye Lei? Why were you looking for me so late? Did something happen?"
After landing, Han Nuan asked Ye Lei.
Ye Lei shook his head, his phoenix eyes bright. "I'm fine. I just prepared a back-to-school gift for you!"
As he spoke, Ye Lei handed the Soul Hunting Cannon to Han Nuan, along with ten Beast Souls.

Han Nuan accepted the items in confusion.
