Snake Emperor? Just an Ice Earthworm!

Qingluan Douluo had just been about to share how it felt to use it when Shen Nuonuo's words made the corner of his mouth twitch. Guangling could believe anything!

But he absolutely could not believe that a Level Ninety-Six peak Douluo like him could not kill Bald Gang with a single arrow!

How was that possible?!

Qian Daoliu looked at Guangling suspiciously. Even Fifth Elder could not kill that piece of trash?

That bastard had quite the life.

"?"

Ya Wen froze.

Was that something Nuonuo had said?

How could Nuonuo know about things in the future?

She turned to look.

Shen Nuonuo was staring blankly at the Ice Extreme Cold Bow, seemingly lost in thought.

Ya Wen had thought it was an illusion, but then she heard it again.

Still, my Fifth Grandfather was amazing. In that battle, he could be said to have completely crushed Dugu Bo with ease.

Before Fifth Grandfather's Ice Arrow, the so-called Snake Emperor became nothing more than an Ice Earthworm. If Guangling had not gone after Xue Beng, Dugu Bo would definitely have died. He was decent in group battles, but in one-on-one combat, he was only so-so.

This time, Ya Wen could clearly see that Shen Nuonuo had not opened her mouth at all. Did that mean those words had been her inner thoughts?

Qian Daoliu noticed Ya Wen's gaze and understood that she could hear it too.

"Xiao Wen, your guess is correct. It is not just you—we can hear it as well," Qian Daoliu transmitted to Ya Wen.

Ya Wen gave Qian Daoliu a complicated look and nodded, indicating that she understood.

Qingluan Douluo, standing to the side, was delighted. Just as he had said!

He was still very strong. Could he not beat up a mere Dugu Bo whenever he wanted?

"Fifth Elder!" Qian Daoliu called out, seeing that if he did not speak soon, Qingluan Douluo's mouth would be curled up to the sky.

Qingluan Douluo hurriedly turned and walked over, his face beaming with a smile. "Big Brother!"

Seeing Qingluan Douluo happily acting like a child, Shen Nuonuo did not find it strange.

In her heart, Qingluan Douluo had always been like a child who never grew up.

"Xiao Wen, can these Soul Tools of yours be mass-produced?" Qian Daoliu put away his earlier casualness, his expression turning serious.

Ya Wen raised her brows. "Great Enshrined, I am a Level Seven Spirit Tool Master. My skills are decent enough, but if Spirit Hall relies on me alone for production, I estimate I would work myself to death."

Shen Nuonuo silently listened to their discussion.

It looks like they still need to establish a separate Soul Tool department like they did ten thousand years later, specifically recruiting talented children to learn how to make them. Otherwise, Ya Wen alone would be worked to death.

Qian Daoliu secretly shook his head. In his view, one had to rely on one's own strength. Relying on external objects was useless.

Qingluan Douluo saw it the same way. After all, Soul Master cultivation was what mattered most. Who would be willing to neglect the fundamentals for trivial details?

Ya Wen did not think so. She spoke up.

"I think we can establish an academy specifically to recruit children who are willing to learn about Soul Tools and have some talent for them. Otherwise, we cannot rely on me alone to support the development of Soul Tools."

Shen Nuonuo was delighted. Ya Wen truly understood her perfectly!

Qian Daoliu thought they were still too naive, but he did not discourage them.

"An academy is not possible for now, but we can offer Soul Tool studies as a course at our Spirit Hall Academy. As for whether anyone wishes to learn it, that will depend on the students' choices."

"Ya Wen, would you be willing to become a teacher at Spirit Hall Academy? You would teach the knowledge of these Soul Tools you speak of."

Qian Daoliu looked straight at her.

Ya Wen nodded lightly. "All right, but it will have to be after some time. I still have matters to attend to."

Qian Daoliu also knew that it was impossible for her to take up the position immediately.

"Nuonuo, that Icebox you made earlier..."

After seeing that they had finished discussing their matters, Qingluan Douluo smiled at Shen Nuonuo.

"Little Xue and I are going to use it! Fifth Grandfather would not fight two children for it, would he?" Shen Nuonuo smiled mischievously.

"Then... do you have time to make another one?"

Qingluan Douluo was tempted. He had always preferred the cold and loved all things icy.

Shen Nuonuo lifted her chin, indicating that there was an expert right here.

Her Soul Tool skills were only half-baked, while Ya Wen was the real deal.

Qingluan Douluo immediately turned his expectant gaze toward Ya Wen.

He did not say anything, but his eyes revealed everything.

"..."

This Fifth Grandfather was quite straightforward, Ya Wen thought. Then she said, "Fifth Grandfather, I can make one, but you will need to provide the necessary materials. Then I will find time to make you a larger Icebox."

"Good, good, good! No problem!" Qingluan Douluo agreed eagerly, as though afraid Ya Wen would change her mind.

"Why wait for another day? How about—"

"Fifth Grandfather, no! Ya Wen just arrived today. How can we make her work so hard?"

Shen Nuonuo placed a hand on her waist, her eyes shining.

"All right, then. You should rest first." Qingluan Douluo was somewhat disappointed, but he did not force the matter.

"Xiao Wen, I will definitely give you an explanation for that matter." Qian Daoliu spoke solemnly once more.

"Then thank you, Great Enshrined."

Ya Wen's brows shifted slightly as her fingers clasped together.

Qian Daoliu said nothing more. He spread the pristine Six Wings behind him and flew off in an unknown direction.

"Don't worry. Big Brother may not execute him, but he will not let that bastard keep swaggering around either." Qingluan Douluo gently patted Ya Wen's shoulder.

Qian Daojun was, after all, the head of the Qian Family, and he had contributed to the family over the years. Whether out of sentiment or reason, Qian Daoliu could not easily execute him.

However, Qian Daoliu was one of the current three Peerless Douluo and the Elder Hall Master. His prestige within the Angel Family needed no explanation. If Qian Daoliu wished to become the family head, he could take the position at any time, as no one would oppose him except Qian Daojun himself.

Of course, whether he objected or not was of no consequence.

The Angel Legion recognized only Qian Daoliu.

Ya Wen raised her brows slightly, her expression calm.

"I know."

Worship Hall.

After finishing her conversation with Qingluan Douluo, Shen Nuonuo brought Ya Wen back. As they continued talking along the way, the two gradually became more familiar with each other.

By the time they returned to Worship Hall, it was already late.

"Big Sister! Aunt Ya Wen! You're finally back!" Hearing footsteps, Qian Renxue immediately opened her door and rushed toward Shen Nuonuo.

"Hey, Little—" Before Shen Nuonuo could finish, Qian Renxue tightly embraced her.

Shen Nuonuo had no idea where Qian Renxue found such strength. She could not speak for a moment and looked to Ya Wen for help.

"Ahem, Young Master, you are holding her too tightly. Nuonuo will not be able to breathe."

Ya Wen looked helplessly at the two sisters.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue hurriedly released the arms she had tightly wrapped around Shen Nuonuo's neck. Seeing that Shen Nuonuo's neck had turned somewhat red, she said guiltily, "Big Sister, I'm sorry."

"It's... it's fine." Shen Nuonuo let out a breath of relief. Seeing tear tracks on Qian Renxue's face, she asked in confusion, "Little Xue, did you cry?"

"What happened?"

Ya Wen also noticed that something was off with Qian Renxue.
