Little Dong'er, Have You Missed Me So Much After Just One Month Apart?

On the final night before school began, Li Changsheng returned.

"Little one, why are you back so late? What were you doing?"

Mu En, who was lying nearby, finally let go of his worries after seeing Li Changsheng return safely.

There was no helping it. In order to recruit this top-tier genius, they had not only given him an identity and a soul bone, but were even prepared to give him Ma Xiaotao.

If something had happened and he had died or suffered some mishap, wouldn't they have lost terribly?

"What's wrong? It's not like I'm late!"

Li Changsheng walked over to Mu En in confusion and said softly, "Old man, if I remember correctly, school starts tomorrow."

"It does start tomorrow. I simply sensed a special kind of power from you and guessed that you must have done something during this time," Mu En replied.

"I see."

Li Changsheng nodded thoughtfully and explained, "It was nothing much. I just took the opportunity to obtain my Fourth Soul Ring."

"Oh? Then how old is your Fourth Soul Ring?"

Mu En was immediately interested.

He knew about Li Changsheng's first three soul rings, so naturally, he was curious about just how far the cultivation of this fourth soul ring had reached.

"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely older than the previous ones."

Li Changsheng grinned and complained to Mu En, "Old man, you have no idea. In order to kill that soul beast, I went through who knows how much trouble. I bought supplies and poison, and I don't even know how many Soul Tools I blew up."

"That's not right!"

Hearing this, Mu En frowned slightly. Sitting up, he said softly, "If I remember correctly, neither you nor Jiang Nannan came from well-off families. So where did you get the money to buy all that?"

Though he did not know what supplies and poison Li Changsheng was referring to, he knew the value of Soul Tools.

That was why he raised the issue. By all rights, with the circumstances of those two siblings, they should not have been able to afford any particularly good Soul Tools.

"I don't have money, but Wang Dong does!" Li Changsheng answered.

"Wang Dong? True, that little one has quite the background."

Mu En nodded. Just as he was about to continue questioning him, he saw a figure rapidly approaching.

"Speak of Wang Dong and Wang Dong arrives. Forget it, you two little ones can chat. This old man won't disturb you!"

After saying that, he stood up, folded the chair, and walked away.

"Li Changsheng, where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"

Li Changsheng turned around and saw Wang Dong marching toward him angrily.

"What's this, Little Dong'er? We've only been apart for a month, and you already missed me that much?" Li Changsheng teased with a smile.

"Be serious!"

Wang Dong blushed and looked around. Only after confirming that no one was nearby did she drag Li Changsheng back to their dormitory.

"What's going on? Why didn't even Sister Nannan know where you went?" Wang Dong asked.

"Did you forget something?" Li Changsheng reminded her.

"What did I forget?"

Wang Dong was stunned at first, then suddenly realized. Understanding what he meant, she returned to her Female form.

She was still as breathtaking as ever. Dressed in a blue-and-white long dress, her slender jade-like legs were faintly visible. Combined with her tall figure and noble aura, she seemed like a true goddess descending into the mortal world.

In truth, neither Tang San nor Tang Hao looked particularly impressive, so if he was right, Wang Dong'er must have perfectly inherited Xiao Wu and Ah Yin's beauty.

"Can you tell me now?"

Wang Dong'er was rather speechless.

Only then did Li Changsheng begin to answer.

"You went to obtain a soul ring? Then why didn't you ask Sister Nannan for help? She's also a Soul Ancestor!" Wang Dong'er asked in confusion.

"Are you stupid? With Sister Nannan's strength, would she be helping me hunt soul beasts, or would I be protecting her from getting killed by one?"

Li Changsheng looked helpless as he said, "Did you forget how old my Third Soul Ring is? Could Sister Nannan possibly deal with a soul beast of that level?"

"Then how did you manage to kill it?"

Wang Dong'er was curious. Since Li Changsheng had returned, it meant he had succeeded.

Damn, before obtaining his Fourth Soul Ring, he actually killed a soul beast with cultivation exceeding ten thousand years by himself. If I hadn't heard Li Changsheng say it himself, I wouldn't have believed it even if I were beaten to death.

"I suppressed it with one hand!"

Li Changsheng raised his head and said smugly.

"Keep bragging."

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes, clearly not believing him.

"Why are you asking so much? It's not like you're my wife. You're really nagging. Can't I have a few secrets?"

Li Changsheng was growing impatient from all the questions. He headed straight for the bathroom and took a hot shower.

"Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, I don't want to ask. It's not like I didn't obtain a soul ring too."

Wang Dong'er turned her head aside, pretending not to care.

The following evening, Li Changsheng found Jiang Nannan and pulled her to a secluded place. Then he took out the soul bone left behind after the Ice Empress's sacrifice.

"Th-this... where did you get this?"

Looking at the high-quality soul bone before her, Jiang Nannan's eyes widened. Suspecting that she had seen wrong, she asked in shock.

Although she could not tell what soul beast the soul bone came from or how old it was, she was certain its quality and age were absolutely extraordinary. It was a treasure she would never have dared to dream of.

"Of course I got it from a soul beast. Where else would I get it, pick it up off the ground?"

After answering, Li Changsheng's face became more solemn and serious than ever before. "After today, do not tell anyone about it, and do not release it either. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."

"Could this be a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

She knew how important and rare soul bones were, but for someone to covet one, it had to be at least a thousand years old.

"Ten thousand years? Heh. Let me tell you, this came from an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, a Four Hundred Thousand Years ferocious beast. When her end approached and she failed to break through, she sacrificed herself to me and left behind this soul bone," Li Changsheng explained with a cold laugh.

"What!"

Jiang Nannan's pupils shrank, and after she cried out, Li Changsheng immediately covered her mouth with his hand. "Otherwise, why do you think I told you to be so careful? If this news gets out, even Titled Douluo, even Super Douluo, won't be able to resist making a move against you."

Ordinary soul bones were unlike External Soul Bones. Once an External Soul Bone completely fused with its owner, it could not be removed even if the owner was killed.

Ordinary soul bones were different. That was why he told Jiang Nannan not to expose it. After all, it was the soul bone of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked second among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North.
