"Lang Lei, you know this little girl?" Seeing Lang Lei react in such a way, Snow Empress could not help but feel a bit surprised.

You must know that outside of interacting with students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy on ordinary days, Lang Lei apparently did not know anyone else they were unfamiliar with.

Yet this little girl had suddenly appeared before them as if by magic, which was truly mind-boggling.

Just how did Lang Lei know this little girl?

Faced with Snow Empress's question, Lang Lei hesitated slightly, then nodded and said slowly, "Well, consider that I know her, or rather, I know this face."

His reply was somewhat ambiguous and left people baffled.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance. Although they harbored doubts in their hearts, seeing that Lang Lei seemed unwilling to explain too much, they did not continue to press.

Perhaps, as they thought, Lang Lei just had some classmate who looked quite similar to this little girl, which was why he had mistaken her identity.

Thinking of this, Snow Empress and Ice Empress no longer obsessed over the relationship between Lang Lei and the little girl, instead turning their attention back to her.

"Then how should we deal with her now?" Ice Empress gazed at the little girl before her, and for some reason, an unspeakable sense of awe welled up in her heart.

Naturally, her heart attributed this phenomenon to the mortal reverence for deities. After all, just a moment ago, they had both witnessed firsthand the magical properties this Dragon Scale displayed.

No matter how hard she and Snow Empress tried, they could not inflict the slightest effect on this Dragon Scale. Then without a doubt, this Dragon Scale must be an item belonging to a deity. That being the case, how could Snow Empress and Ice Empress treat the little girl transformed from this divine object as an ordinary girl?

Lang Lei gazed at the little girl before him, seeing that her gaze revealed a pitiful look that made one's heart ache uncontrollably. This pathetic appearance made Lang Lei somewhat unable to bear looking straight at her.

To be honest, not only did this little girl possess an exquisitely peerless face, but coupled with that endearing expression, probably very few people could remain unmoved by it, right?

At least Lang Lei felt he could still be considered a good person with a bottom line, so he certainly would not make a move against the silver-haired little girl before him again.

As for Elysia, that went without saying even more. Ever since this little girl had taken human form and gained her own consciousness, it was absolutely impossible for Elysia to strike at her casually as before.

Even if Lang Lei did this out of sincere intentions for her, Elysia would never agree. Because she knew very well in her heart that this was definitely not Lang Lei's own true wish, and she was even less likely to trade for more freedom by stepping on the corpses of others.

"Xue'er, this girl is definitely extraordinary, but this matter might involve many aspects. What do you think we should do?" Ice Empress wore a hesitant expression, turning her head to look at Snow Empress as if seeking her opinion.

Snow Empress was actually not good at handling choices like this; making her ponder these issues was simply a form of torture for her. Therefore, she would rather directly hand the decision-making power over to junior or Lang Lei than waste her own mental energy thinking about it.

Even though the girl before them might be a special existence like the so-called child of a god just like Lang Lei, since they had already chosen Lang Lei and also obtained quite a few benefits from him, they naturally would not easily make a move to hedge their bets on both sides.

What is more, six years of time had passed in the blink of an eye. In this long span of time, although Lang Lei had no blood relation to them, he had long since integrated into their lives like a younger brother of their own.

Even if all factors were cast aside, making them choose between Lang Lei and the respectable silver-haired girl before them, their hearts undoubtedly leaned toward Lang Lei.

Snow Empress looked at the silently standing little girl before her, pondering inwardly. She gazed into the little girl's innocent yet slightly bewildered eyes, and finally decided decisively, "Let's leave it to Lang Lei to decide."

Hearing this, Lang Lei nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Snow Empress's decision. He slowly walked over to the little girl, squatted down to be at eye level with her, and asked gently in a soft tone, "What is your name?"

The little girl seemed somewhat timid, her voice trembling slightly as she answered softly, "Na... Na'er..."

The corners of Lang Lei's mouth lifted into a gentle smile as he continued asking, "Na'er... Well, what a lovely name. Then do you know where you came from?" His voice grew increasingly soft, as if he feared startling the little girl's fragile memories.

"I... I'm not too sure. It was just like I took a nap, and then I saw big brother..." Na'er's voice carried a bit of confusion, seeming quite perplexed by her own experience.

Lang Lei gazed at her, and a wave of pity could not help but well up in his heart. He wanted to know what kind of connection this little girl actually had with Gu Yuena, but right now was clearly not the time to question her.

"I understand. Then would you be willing to come with me?" Lang Lei ultimately decided to bring Na'er out of this dangerous place first and slowly understand her situation later.

Na'er raised her head, her large eyes looking at Lang Lei, her gaze revealing a hint of anticipation and hesitation.

"C-Can I?" Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of being rejected.

Lang Lei smiled and nodded, saying gently, "Of course you can."

He reached out a hand, gesturing to Na'er. Na'er's gaze suddenly brightened, as if she had seen the dawn of hope, and she gently placed her hand in Lang Lei's.

At that very instant, a powerful surge of Soul Power erupted from within Lang Lei's body. His Silver Dragon King Martial Soul suddenly emerged, like a long-dormant behemoth being awakened.

The Silver Dragon King Martial Soul emitted a soul-shaking aura, majestic and inviolable as if commanding the entire realm. Its presence made everything around it pale in comparison, including those powerful soul beasts.

This aura slammed ruthlessly into the surrounding soul beasts like a heavy hammer, and even top-tier soul beasts like Snow Empress and Ice Empress could not escape it. They felt the terrifying coercion of the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance; it seemed this little girl was indeed extraordinary.

Lang Lei was slightly stunned, though he did not know why such a situation had occurred.

Yet now he suddenly felt... pretty good?

The Silver Dragon King Martial Soul appearing behind Lang Lei clearly lacked a trace of gentleness, gaining a touch of dominance instead, which carried over to make Na'er herself appear somewhat divine.
