The day after Snow Empress returned to the base, Xiao Wujiu once again hurried back to Heaven Dou City through the coordinates of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Looks like you've gotten quite familiar with those combat techniques."
The familiar voice made Snow Empress stop practicing her combat techniques and look toward its source.
Xiao Wujiu walked into the residence, smiling as he looked at Snow Empress.
"Your aura has grown stronger again." In Snow Empress's perception, Xiao Wujiu's aura had become even more unfathomable. If he had used seventy percent of his strength in their previous battle, then she alone might not even be able to force out half of his current power.
"Just a slight improvement. In our world, my strength wouldn't even rank anywhere. I'm merely a slightly larger ant."
After saying that, he looked around. "Where's Dugu Bo? Why don't I see him?"
"Oh, he wasn't feeling well. He said he was going to keep his granddaughter company."
As Snow Empress spoke, her gaze drifted slightly, and there was a trace of something unusual in her tone.
"I've finished all the books you gave me. Can you tell me about Douqi Continent—about the faction you belong to, roughly where my current strength stands, the distribution of powers in that world, and so on?"
Snow Empress hurriedly changed the subject and asked about the doubts she had after finishing the books. Most of the books Xiao Wujiu had given her covered basic knowledge such as the divisions of strength realms, the ranks of cultivation techniques, and the differences between realms. There were also some books concerning rare heavenly treasures.
Yet those alone had been enough to let her glimpse a corner of Douqi Continent's vast prosperity. Only then had she understood just how insignificant she was!
