Soul Hall!

Deep-blue streaks of light rippled, shifted, and gathered in the air, forming snowflake-like ice blossom runes.

It took a full quarter of an hour to draw these ice blossom runes. Forty-five ice blossoms floated before the Snow Empress.

"Gather!"

The Snow Empress parted her red lips and gave a soft cry. Then, with a flick of her jade-like finger, forty-five ice blossoms silently drifted forward and landed upon the forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrows surrounding her delicate body.

In an instant, all forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrows lit up.

The ice blossoms, originally as white as jade, gradually turned deep blue as the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrows shone.

Each change in those deep-blue glimmers strengthened their aura by several degrees.

Several minutes later, the forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrows simultaneously collapsed, transforming into forty-five ice blossoms that floated into the air. They shrank in midair before finally becoming an ice blossom bracelet that wrapped around the Snow Empress's left wrist.

"That's done. I've put away all the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrows." The Snow Empress raised her left hand and waved it at Lin Xuan and the others.

"Good." Lin Xuan nodded at the sight. "Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, I'll take you to another treasured place now. The natural essence of heaven and earth there is abundant, so my chances of successfully refining the Transformation Pill will be much higher."

"Another treasured place?" The Snow Empress was slightly startled upon hearing that. She asked doubtfully, "Little Xuan, where did you find so many treasured places?"

Lin Xuan had initially said he would take them to a treasured place, only for them to arrive at the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave. Yet now, Lin Xuan was saying he would take them to another treasured place. She could not help but feel surprised. Where had Lin Xuan found so many such places?

"I happened to discover them." Lin Xuan lied without even blushing.

What else could he say? That he was a transmigrator who knew the plot? That he had a system? He definitely could not tell them that, so he could only brush it off with a casual excuse.

"Hmm?" The Snow Empress narrowed her icy-blue eyes slightly and simply stared at Lin Xuan, as though she wanted to see through him.

However, Lin Xuan naturally gave nothing away. His handsome face still wore that calm, untroubled expression. No matter how the Snow Empress looked at him, he remained unchanged.

"Hehe, Xue'er, let's go to the treasured place Little Xuan mentioned now!" The Ice Empress had not thought as deeply as the Snow Empress had. Excitedly, she took the Snow Empress's hand.

"Very well." Unable to see anything from Lin Xuan's handsome face, the Snow Empress gave up. Lin Xuan had never harmed her or the Ice Empress, after all. Besides, without him, she would most likely have died long ago. How could she still be standing here and talking?

"Hubby... what about the Transformation Pill you promised me? You can't go back on your word!" Wang Qiu'er, standing beside Lin Xuan, turned to look at him and transmitted her voice into his ear in a low tone.

"Don't worry. I definitely won't forget my Qiu'er wife." Hearing that, Lin Xuan gave Wang Qiu'er a gentle smile and reached out to rub her head.

"In that case, Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, let's head out first." Lin Xuan smiled.

"Alright." Both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress nodded, then moved first and darted toward the exit.

Only after the Ice Empress and Snow Empress's figures had gradually disappeared into the distance did Lin Xuan turn to Wang Qiu'er beside him.

"Qiu'er, you're actually coming to collect a debt from me?" Lin Xuan pinched Wang Qiu'er's delicate, fair cheek and said fiercely, "I'll deal with you when we get back."

"Huh?" Wang Qiu'er froze slightly, not knowing why Lin Xuan had suddenly said that. He had clearly agreed to it just now.

"Hubby, I was wrong... can you... can you not spank me..." Wang Qiu'er's pretty face flushed red as she spoke in a soft, sweet voice.

"Hmm? Not spank what?" Now that only the two of them remained, Lin Xuan gradually became bolder. His hand slid onto Wang Qiu'er's perky rear, and he raised it to give it a light pat.

"Mm..." Feeling the touch from behind, Wang Qiu'er's delicate body stiffened slightly. Biting her pink lower lip, she stammered, "Don't... don't... spank me..."

"What if I insist?" Seeing Wang Qiu'er's shy appearance, Lin Xuan could not resist teasing her. A mischievous smile curled across his lips as he leaned close to her ear and said, "Wait for me to spank you tonight."

"Mm... hubby... don't spank me, okay... I'm begging you..." Wang Qiu'er looked at Lin Xuan pitifully and begged in a low voice.

"Hehe, we'll see." Lin Xuan casually brushed Wang Qiu'er off, then took her hand and darted toward the exit. They had stayed inside too long already. It would not be good if the Ice Empress and Snow Empress noticed, so he had to get out quickly.

Splash!

As the sound of water exploding rang out, Lin Xuan brought Wang Qiu'er soaring out of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave like a blue dragon breaking through the water, before landing steadily on the ground.

At that moment, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress stood not far in front of Lin Xuan, while Nan Shuishui and the others remained where they were. From the time Lin Xuan and the others had entered the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave until now, they had not moved at all, simply standing there and waiting for Lin Xuan's group to return.

"Senior Nan." Holding Wang Qiu'er's hand, Lin Xuan stepped forward and looked at Nan Shuishui, who stood at the front. He said calmly, "From today onward, the Earth Dragon Sect will officially be renamed Soul Hall. I order you to appoint me as a Soul Hall Protector."

"The positions within Soul Hall are Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, Heavenly Venerable, Elder, Protector, and Soul Envoy. Starting from the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Venerable ranks descend from First to Ninth Heavenly Venerable, for a total of ten people. You need not concern yourselves with those positions; I will make arrangements later."

"So we can only be Protectors? That isn't a high position in Soul Hall." Listening to Lin Xuan's orders, Nan Shuishui felt somewhat uncomfortable. Although the Earth Dragon Sect had already submitted, they could only serve as Soul Hall Protectors. Such an arrangement left her deeply dissatisfied.

However, she did not dare say anything. The other side's strength was right there before her, so she could only accept it.

"Don't feel dissatisfied. It is already quite good that you can hold the position of Protector." Seeing Nan Shuishui and the others' unpleasant expressions, Lin Xuan explained, "To hold a Heavenly Venerable position, one must at least possess the strength of a Super Douluo."

"Super Douluo?!" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Nan Shuishui and the others could not help revealing looks of shock. They then raised their eyes to glance at the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, and several guesses formed in their hearts.

In their eyes, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress were likely Super Douluo-level experts. Lin Xuan's plan was probably to have the Ice Empress and Snow Empress serve in the Heavenly Venerable positions he had mentioned.
