Technological Crushing from Ten Thousand Years Later

After returning home, Ye Lingling, who had been tormented all night, did not go to the academy and stayed at home instead.

Ye Qinru had gone out to manage the medicine shop's business, so when Fang Xuan returned, the only person he saw was Ye Lingling, sitting on the steps and basking in the sun.

"My dear wife is awake. Come on, let me kiss you."

He had not seen his wife for several hours, and Fang Xuan missed her badly.

On top of that, after what Qian Renxue had pulled on him in the palace earlier, he was still a little shaken and urgently needed his wife's embrace to soothe him.

But when Ye Lingling saw Fang Xuan walking toward her, she was instantly startled.

"Husband, I was wrong. I shouldn't have forgotten you. I'll change, all right? Don't torment me anymore."

Last night, Fang Xuan had really put her through the wringer, and she still had not recovered even now.

Seriously, why had he been like an ox these past few days, with endless energy every single day?

"Hehe, as long as you know you were wrong. Your husband is magnanimous, so I forgive you."

As he spoke, Fang Xuan wrapped his arms around Ye Lingling from behind, then planted a hard kiss on her delicate cheek.

With his lovely wife in his arms, the bit of frustration in Fang Xuan's heart was instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

Realizing that Fang Xuan was not about to keep tormenting her, Ye Lingling also let out a sigh of relief.

Her body nestled into his embrace, and she looked especially relaxed.

The two of them leaned quietly against each other just like that, neither disturbing the other.

After who knew how long, Fang Xuan finally let go of Ye Lingling in his arms.

"Lingling, how about I accompany you to the academy tomorrow?"

Since he had already decided to do it, there was no need to hesitate.

He would take advantage of the fact that Tang San had not developed yet and finish him off first.

Even if he could not kill him, he had to cripple one of his arms.

Preferably in a way that no one knew and no ghost noticed. That useless fellow Tang Hao was still very difficult to deal with.

If he got targeted, things would get troublesome.

Nothing much would happen to him personally. What he feared was the other party targeting Ye Lingling and Ye Qinru.

Sure enough, once a man had a family, he had more things to worry about.

"You're going to school?"

Ye Lingling tilted her head. His decision to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy surprised her a little.

After all, Fang Xuan now had the dual identities of the Crown Prince's advisor and Dugu Bo's final disciple, so why had he suddenly taken an interest in attending school?

And with his current strength, it seemed like he did not need to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study, right?

"I'm not going to school. I'm going there to be a teacher."

After that, Fang Xuan told Ye Lingling about Soul Tools.

After hearing him out, she was also quite surprised.

"Soul Tools? You want to research that kind of thing? Are they really as wondrous as you say?"

Ye Lingling did not know much about Soul Tools, but in her impression, they should be something connected to antiques.

They were not very useful either. But according to Fang Xuan, the value of these things could even be compared to soul bones, which truly shocked her.

"Of course. When has your husband ever lied to you? When I make one, I'll definitely let you try it first. I guarantee you'll like it."

Girls were usually quite interested in novel things, let alone something as fresh and unusual as Soul Tools.

The current Douluo Continent had not even developed one ten-thousandth of the potential of Soul Tools. Otherwise, Tang San's hidden weapons could never have shone so brightly.

The impact of cold weapons and hot weapons on warfare simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Even the strongest hidden weapon of the Tang Sect, Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, could not compare to a high-level Fixed Soul Tool.

Moreover, Fixed Soul Cannons could be produced in batches, but Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus could not. That thing was extremely troublesome to manufacture, and the materials required were harsh.

Lou Gao, as a master divine craftsman, had spent his entire life's effort and only managed to create three Buddha's Fury Tang Lotuses. He was a divine craftsman, and there were not many like him in the entire Douluo Continent.

Using his life to exchange for three firecrackers—what a terrible waste of talent.

But that was all for later. Right now, the Tang Sect's hidden weapons were still in their initial stage, on the same starting line as Soul Tools.

Since they were the same, there was no need to avoid its edge. He just had to clash head-on.

Ye Lingling did not understand Soul Tools, but she believed in Fang Xuan, so she nodded and said, "Mm, I believe you. But can you let go of me first? We're still outside."

Feeling that restless large hand on her waist, Ye Lingling's face reddened.

Seriously, did he not need to rest? How long had it been? And he wanted it again.

If this continued, she was afraid she would not be able to endure it.

Sure enough, her mother really had foresight.

If no one shared the burden, if this went on, she was afraid she really would not be able to hold out.

"Hehe, I'll just rub a little. I won't go in."

"Like hell I believe you."

Ye Lingling shot Fang Xuan an annoyed glare.

The current her would never believe that kind of nonsense from him.

After all, Fang Xuan had said the same thing before, and in the end, hadn't he still put her through it all over again?

"Just once, okay? Any more and I really can't take it."

Helpless, Ye Lingling could only beg for mercy. Her man was just too fierce; she did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"It's broad daylight. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"

That was what Fang Xuan said, but his body was exceptionally honest.

He directly scooped Ye Lingling up from the ground and walked toward the room.

When Fang Xuan brought Ye Lingling over to Dugu Yan, the snake girl was leaning against a corridor pillar, yawning, looking languid and half-awake.

Seeing Fang Xuan arrive together with Ye Lingling, she froze for a moment, then a teasing smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, what a rare guest. Little Lingling, you even brought your man to the academy? What's this, afraid someone at Heaven Dou Royal Academy will bully your wife?"

Dugu Yan's words were half serious, half joking, and the look in her eyes carried a hint of amusement.

She was clearly surprised that Fang Xuan would appear here. After all, this newly appointed Crown Prince's aide was not someone she usually saw coming to the academy.

Ye Lingling's cheeks turned slightly red from the teasing. She lightly pinched Fang Xuan's arm and muttered softly.

"See? I told you I could come by myself."

Fang Xuan, however, did not mind at all and cupped his hands with a grin.

"Listen to you. I was just afraid Lingling would miss me too much all by herself."

"Besides, I'll be coming to the academy plenty in the future, so I figured I'd come early and learn the way."

"You're coming to the academy?" Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow. "You're a Crown Prince's aide. What are you doing running to our academy?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince thinks highly of me and asked me to establish a Soul Tool Department in the academy, specifically to research some novel gadgets."

Fang Xuan said it lightly, as if it were nothing more than a trivial matter.

Yet when those words fell into Dugu Yan's ears, they were no less than a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Her emerald-green snake pupils abruptly contracted, and she looked Fang Xuan up and down several times, as if trying to see some hint of a joke on his face.

But Fang Xuan's expression was calm and composed; he clearly was not joking.

"A Soul Tool Department? You?" Dugu Yan's voice rose a little. "For those strange, bizarre things, His Highness the Crown Prince actually opened an entire department just for you?"

"You can't put it that way. Soul Tools have great potential." Fang Xuan waved a hand. "But we can talk about that later. I'm going to report to the Education Committee first. Help me look after Lingling."

After saying that, he winked at Ye Lingling, then turned and walked deeper into the academy.

Ye Lingling watched his back disappear around the corridor corner, a soft smile rising in her eyes.
