The moon shone bright, the stars were sparse, and crows flew south.

After finishing a day of study, Li Changsheng returned to the dorm. After taking a hot bath, he held out his fair right hand toward the boy nearby.

"What?"

Wang Dong froze slightly, clearly baffled and unable to make sense of the situation.

"Money!"

Li Changsheng said matter-of-factly, "I'm poor. Where would I get money to treat a girl to a meal?"

His family had never been well-off. If not for Jiang Nannan's mother helping him, he would not even have scraped together the gold coins needed for enrollment.

"So you mean you're going on a date with your Sister Nannan, and I'm the one footing the bill in the end?"

Wang Dong was nearly angered into laughter. In all his ten-odd years of life, he had never seen someone this shameless.

"Yeah. So what? Is there a problem?"

Li Changsheng raised a brow and said with a smile, "Wang Dong, you wouldn't want what happened that night to become known by other people, would you?"

"Fine, fine, you win!"

Wang Dong gritted his teeth. Realizing he had no way to deal with this bastard, he took out a Golden Soul Card.

"Thank you. You're such a good person!"

Under Wang Dong's murderous glare, Li Changsheng grinned, accepted the card, and headed outside.

"Damn it, Li Changsheng really deserves to die!"

Only after Li Changsheng left did Wang Dong vent his grievance and fury alone in the room.

At that moment, by the eastern gate of the city, Jiang Nannan wore a short golden dress. Her figure was tall and flawless, and her long, delicate legs were exposed beneath the skirt. Her golden hair hung loosely down her back.

She wore golden high heels, adding a touch of mature elegance to her originally gentle temperament.

Jiang Nannan had always possessed peerless beauty, and before leaving today, she had even put on light makeup. As a result, countless eyes had followed her all the way from the girls' dormitory to the eastern gate.

"Well? Do I look good?"

When she saw Li Changsheng arrive, a gentle smile appeared on Jiang Nannan's lovely face. She then spun around on the spot, showing the boy before her her most beautiful side.

"Of course you do."

After nodding in agreement, Li Changsheng teased with a smile, "I wonder who will end up getting such a beautiful Sister Nannan. It's unbearably jealous-making!"

Jiang Nannan rolled her eyes at him. Not paying much attention to it, she took the lead in walking toward the bustling street ahead.

Li Changsheng immediately followed by Jiang Nannan's side and took hold of her slender, smooth little hand.

Jiang Nannan's delicate body trembled at Li Changsheng's action. Her face flushed with shyness, but she did not refuse.

"Sister Nannan, come on, let's go take a look around!"

After casually eating some snacks in Shrek City, Li Changsheng led Jiang Nannan to a lavishly decorated shop.

Inside were all kinds of jewelry and beautiful clothes.

"Changsheng, what are we doing here?"

Looking at the dazzling array before her, Jiang Nannan blinked her beautiful eyes.

"What else would we do? Of course, I'm buying you pretty clothes and jewelry," Li Changsheng answered.

"Huh?"

Jiang Nannan looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Isn't what I'm wearing pretty?"

"It's not that it isn't pretty. It's that you deserve better!"

Without waiting for Jiang Nannan to agree or refuse, he directly led her around the enormous shop.

"Changsheng, the clothes here are so expensive. Let's leave."

Jiang Nannan stopped walking and tilted her head to look at a price tag, leaving her utterly stunned.

A single short dress actually cost more than a thousand Gold Soul Coins!

Even if she sold herself, she could not afford it!

"Doesn't matter. It's cheap. Buy it!"

In contrast to Jiang Nannan's worries, Li Changsheng acted like a rich second-generation heir. Anything he found pretty, whether long dresses or short skirts, he took down.

Jiang Nannan was left completely dumbfounded by his actions.

The dress she was currently wearing had only been bought from a rather ordinary shop after she saved up for a long time.

Yet now, a single piece Li Changsheng casually picked out was enough to buy her hundreds of dresses. To be honest, her mind had completely gone blank.

It all felt rather unreal.

After all, Li Changsheng had not had much money just last night, yet today he was acting like a nouveau riche. She was certain that something she did not know had happened in between.

"Wang Dong's Golden Soul Card is really great. It's like there's no spending limit at all—I can swipe it however I want!"

Looking at the large and small bags inside the Soul Tool, Li Changsheng could not help muttering softly.

"What did you say? What do you mean, no spending limit?"

Jiang Nannan seemed to have heard something, but she had not caught it clearly.

"Nothing!"

Li Changsheng shook his head and came back to his senses. After putting all the clothes before him into Jiang Nannan's Soul Tool, he led her to another counter that sold jewelry.

While the two were browsing happily, Mu En and Xuan Zi, Shrek Academy's strongest and second-strongest figures, arrived at Sea God Pavilion at the same time.

"Elder Xuan, you came too?"

Seeing that he was not the only one there, Mu En became even more curious. What exactly was Yan Shaozhe up to? Had something important happened?

"Mu En, what's going on?"

Elder Xuan gnawed on a chicken leg as he walked over and sat beside Mu En, equally puzzled.

"Shaozhe didn't say. I imagine it's something important, but not especially important. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only the two of us here!" Mu En analyzed.

"True!"

After thinking it over and finding that this was indeed the case, Elder Xuan waited quietly.

Not long afterward, Yan Shaozhe entered with Ma Xiaotao.

"Teacher, Elder Xuan!"

"Grandmaster, Elder Xuan!"

Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao respectively bowed to the two before them.

"No need for formalities. Tell us, why did you call Xuan Zi and me here today?"

Mu En waved a hand, his aged face looking entirely unconcerned.

"Teacher, I want to know whether you have ever seen an ice-attributed martial soul with a black-and-white pattern. What is its origin, and what does it do?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

"An ice-attributed black-and-white patterned martial soul?"

Upon hearing this, not only Elder Xuan, but even Mu En looked utterly confused. Clearly, neither understood.

"What did it look like?" Mu En asked.

Yan Shaozhe immediately took out the prepared illustration. It depicted the Taiji Diagram being released that morning.
