"Lang Lei, do you know this little girl?" Snow Empress, seeing Lang Lei's reaction, couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

After all, Lang Lei usually only interacted with students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and didn't seem to know anyone else they didn't know.

Yet, this little girl had suddenly appeared before them as if she were a completely different person, which was truly baffling.

How exactly did Lang Lei know this little girl?

Facing Snow Empress's question, Lang Lei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and slowly said, "Mhm, I suppose I know her, or rather, I recognize her face."

His answer was somewhat ambiguous, leaving them scratching their heads.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a look. Although they had their doubts, seeing that Lang Lei didn't seem inclined to explain further, they didn't press him.

Perhaps, as they thought, Lang Lei simply had a classmate who looked very similar to this little girl, which led him to mistake her for someone else.

With that thought, Snow Empress and Ice Empress stopped dwelling on Lang Lei's relationship with the little girl and refocused their attention on her.

"So, what should we do with her now?" Ice Empress gazed at the little girl before them, and for some reason, an indescribable sense of reverence welled up in her heart.

She naturally attributed this feeling to the respect ordinary mortals held for deities. After all, they had all witnessed the miraculous properties of this Dragon Scale just moments ago.

No matter how hard she and Snow Empress tried, they couldn't inflict the slightest damage on the Dragon Scale. Therefore, it was undoubtedly an item belonging to a deity. In that case, how could Snow Empress and Ice Empress treat the little girl, who was formed from this divine object, as an ordinary child?

Lang Lei stared at the little girl in front of him. Her eyes conveyed a pitiable expression that stirred compassion in anyone who saw it. Her utterly pathetic appearance made even Lang Lei reluctant to look directly at her.

To be honest, this little girl not only possessed an incredibly exquisite face but also an endearing expression that would surely move anyone, wouldn't it?

At least Lang Lei considered himself a decent person with principles, so he definitely wouldn't lay a hand on this silver-haired little girl anymore.

As for Elysia, there was even less to say. Ever since this little girl took human form and gained her own consciousness, Elysia would absolutely never be able to casually attack her as she might have in the past.

Even if Lang Lei were doing this for her own good, Elysia would absolutely not agree. Because she knew very well that this was not Lang Lei's true intention, and she certainly wouldn't trade someone else's life for more freedom.

"Xue'er, this girl is definitely not ordinary, but this matter might involve many aspects. What do you think we should do?" Ice Empress's face showed hesitation as she turned to Snow Empress, seemingly seeking her opinion.

Snow Empress was actually not good at making decisions like this; thinking about such matters was torture for her. Therefore, she would rather directly hand over the decision-making power to her junior or Lang Lei than rack her own brain.

Even though the girl before them might be a special existence like Lang Lei, a so-called child of a god, they had already chosen Lang Lei and benefited greatly from him. Naturally, they wouldn't easily hedge their bets.

Moreover, six years had passed in the blink of an eye. During this long period, although Lang Lei had no blood relation to them, he had long since become like a younger brother, integrated into their lives.

Even setting aside all other factors, if they had to choose between Lang Lei and the venerable silver-haired girl before them, their hearts would undoubtedly lean towards Lang Lei.

Snow Empress looked at the silent little girl before her and pondered. She gazed into the girl's innocent and slightly bewildered eyes, then decisively said, "Let Lang Lei decide."

Upon hearing this, Lang Lei nodded slightly, agreeing with Snow Empress's decision. He slowly walked up to the little girl, crouched down to her level, and asked in a gentle tone, "What's your name?"

The little girl seemed a bit timid, her voice trembling slightly as she softly replied, "Na... Na'er..."

Lang Lei's lips curved into a gentle smile, and he continued, "Na'er? Hmm, that's a lovely name. Do you know where you're from?" His voice grew even softer, as if he were afraid of startling the girl's fragile memories.

"I... I'm not sure. It's like I fell asleep, and then I saw you, big brother..." Na'er's voice was a bit confused, as if she herself was bewildered by her experiences.

Lang Lei gazed at her, a wave of pity washing over him. He wanted to know what connection this little girl had with Gu Yuena, but now was clearly not the time to ask.

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

Na'er looked up, her large eyes fixed on Lang Lei, a hint of anticipation and hesitation in them.

"C-can I?" Her voice was very quiet, as if she were afraid of being rejected.

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

He extended a hand towards Na'er. The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. She gently placed her hand in Lang Lei's.

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

The Silver Dragon King Martial Soul exuded a heart-stopping aura, as if it were the supreme ruler of the world, majestic and inviolable. Its presence made everything around it seem dim, including the powerful Soul Beasts.

This aura struck the surrounding Soul Beasts like a heavy hammer, and even top-tier Soul Beasts like Snow Empress and Ice Empress were not spared. They felt the terrifying pressure of the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged glances. It seemed this little girl was indeed extraordinary.

Lang Lei was slightly taken aback, not understanding why this was happening.

But suddenly, he felt... pretty good about it?

The Silver Dragon King Martial Soul that appeared behind Lang Lei clearly lacked a trace of gentleness, instead possessing a more domineering presence, which in turn made Na'er herself appear somewhat divine.
