Ordinarily, Jiang Nannan would not have been able to absorb the Ice Empress's soul bone, because only someone with Extreme Ice and an Ice Scorpion martial soul could do so.
However, before the absorption, Li Changsheng had used the Taiji Diagram to alter Jiang Nannan's aura of power.
In other words, Jiang Nannan now possessed a trace of the Taiji Diagram's power within her. It was precisely because of this power that she, with her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul, had successfully absorbed it.
"Nannan, how do you feel?"
Seeing her daughter finish absorbing it, Mother Jiang immediately rose from her chair and asked curiously.
This was a soul bone from a ferocious beast with a cultivation of Four Hundred Thousand Years. It was an ultimate treasure that even Titled Douluo could never possess.
"I feel very good."
Jiang Nannan nodded and said with a smile, "Not only can I now wield ice-element power, but my Soul Power Level and physical constitution have also improved considerably. It truly feels like a complete rebirth."
"That's good. This time, you need to properly thank Changsheng!"
Mother Jiang let out a breath of relief, then spoke with a serious expression.
"I understand, Mom."
After Jiang Nannan nodded to show that she understood, she went into the bathroom for a hot shower. Then, she returned to Shrek Academy with Li Changsheng.
Night gradually fell. Wang Dong held two invitation cards in her hand and asked with a smile, "Li Changsheng, I have two tickets to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Do you want to go with me?"
"The Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"
Hearing the name, Li Changsheng was first taken aback. Then, as if recalling something, he asked, "That traveling shop with quite a few good things?"
"That's right, that one. Looks like you've heard of it too." Wang Dong nodded.
"What, is there something you want to buy?" Li Changsheng asked.
"Let's go take a look. Maybe we'll find something we like?"
As the young mistress of the Clear Sky Sect, she did not actually lack anything. She was merely bored and wanted to stroll around.
If she got lucky and found something, that would be even better. If not, it did not matter. She could just treat it as broadening her horizons.
"Fine, no problem."
Li Changsheng fell silent. After thinking for a moment and recalling that there was a ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber inside, he ultimately agreed to Wang Dong's request.
With his current savings, he could fully afford that piece of Whale Rubber.
"Then let's go!"
Wang Dong's eyes lit up. Excited, she directly grabbed Li Changsheng and left.
Half an hour later, the two entered Shrek City. The place was ablaze with lights and bustling with people, worthy of being called one of the giant cities of the Douluo Continent.
It could not be helped. Shrek Academy's prestige was comparable to Spirit Hall's from ten thousand years ago, so the city where it stood was naturally a holy land in the eyes of soul masters across the continent.
Before long, the two found their destination.
"Wow, not bad," Li Changsheng commented.
"Of course it's not bad!"
Wang Dong said with a smile, "Since their main customers are the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy, it naturally can't be shabby. Otherwise, how could they possibly bring their business here?"
"I meant they're not bad!"
Following Li Changsheng's gaze and discovering that he was referring to the several young beauties standing at the entrance, Wang Dong's expression immediately darkened.
What are you looking at? Is that necessary? Am I worse than your Sister Nannan? Wang Dong thought indignantly.
"Then return to your female form. Damn it, you're a guy right now, so why would I look at you? As for Sister Nannan, you make it sound like she's here."
Li Changsheng rolled his eyes. After giving Wang Dong a look as though she were an idiot, he said righteously, "If you were a guy, would you look at pretty girls or at men?"
"That... does seem right."
Wang Dong was slightly stunned. For a moment, she could not find any way to refute him.
"Hurry up and return to your original appearance. No one here knows either of us anyway," Li Changsheng urged.
"Fine, fine!"
Wang Dong did not object much. After nodding in agreement, she returned to her true appearance.
Upon entering the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, they found it filled with merchandise. Among it, a crimson-gold soul bone caught Wang Dong'er's attention.
"This soul bone is pretty good. I think it suits me quite well," Wang Dong'er said seriously as she looked at it.
"If you like it, buy it. It's not like you're short on money."
Li Changsheng shrugged, speaking without much concern.
"Then I'll buy—"
Before Wang Dong'er could finish speaking, a familiar gentle voice sounded behind them. "Changsheng, why are you here?"
"Hm? Am I hearing things? Why do I feel like I heard your Sister Nannan's voice?" Wang Dong'er froze and turned to look at Li Changsheng.
"You're not hearing things. She really came." Li Changsheng shook his head and turned with Wang Dong'er to look behind them.
Jiang Nannan stood there in a black academy uniform, her figure tall and flawless.
However, the face that usually bore a faint smile was now dark to the extreme.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming here? I even went looking for you just now. And this junior sister is?" Jiang Nannan walked up to Li Changsheng, her expression clearly demanding an explanation.
"You've been here before. I thought you might not be interested. As for her, she's just a classmate. We happened to run into each other," Li Changsheng answered calmly.
He was not actually lying, since Wang Dong'er really was his classmate.
"A classmate? Really? How come I've never seen such a beautiful junior sister?"
Although she was very confident in her own appearance, she was genuinely startled upon seeing Wang Dong'er.
Yet for some reason, she felt as if she had seen this person somewhere before. But no matter how hard she thought, she could not remember where.
"There are plenty of people you haven't seen," Li Changsheng replied.
"Fine, then do you need me to accompany you? I've been here a few times." Jiang Nannan asked.
"Uh... uh... uh..."
Li Changsheng did not know how to answer. Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er did not say anything either, merely staring at him.
"Sister Nannan, let's forget it for now. How about next time? I just came out with her, and it would be a little inappropriate to leave her here alone," Li Changsheng decided.
"O-okay."
Jiang Nannan sighed softly. After glancing at Wang Dong'er with her beautiful eyes, she turned and left.
Something is off about this junior sister.
Li Changsheng is acting strange too.
Could it be that the two of them have already gotten together?
It can't have happened so quickly, right? I'm not bad either. If he wants to date or find a wife, shouldn't he consider me first?
As Jiang Nannan walked away, her thoughts ran wild.
