Everything was just as Shen Hanyu had predicted.
With the help of Spirit Hall, Huyan Zhen had broken through to Titled Douluo. As a result, the arrogance of both the Elephant Armored Sect and Elephant Armored Academy had increased somewhat, but only to that extent.
An ordinary standard Titled Douluo facing a Titled Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring, when the two were still two levels apart in cultivation, and there was even some martial soul suppression involved, Huyan Zhen won with his hammer.
Unless he had the Sea God Trident on his head and the Asura Greatsword at his feet, he truly lacked the strength.
Although the Elephant Armored Sect disciples in the city had indeed become much more arrogant in their behavior, this was only toward the students of the other three elemental academies. In front of the students of Heavenly Water Academy, they tacitly chose to ignore or bypass them.
After understanding the specific situation, Shui Ningbing felt much more at ease. Every day remained as busy as before, and life seemed no different from before.
Once, when Shen Hanyu couldn't sleep at night, he went into the city for a stroll. Only then did he discover that there was another Soul Saint in the Spirit Hall branch in Elemental City. However, this person had a special layer of protection that could greatly isolate mental power from probing cultivation level. Judging by Shui Ningbing's mental strength, the cultivation this person revealed was at most that of a Soul King, and an unstable one at that, the kind of cannon fodder no one would take seriously.
However, Shen Hanyu didn't pay much attention to this. A mere Soul Saint, at his current level, he no longer took such a person seriously.
Continuing his walk, Shen Hanyu arrived at the Elephant Armored Sect's residence. From far away, he sensed an aura belonging to a Titled Douluo.
The aura was slightly unstable, likely because he had only recently obtained the soul ring and Huyan Zhen himself hadn't properly stabilized it.
But judging from the fact that he had directly reached rank 91, his ninth soul ring's age limit should not be lower than 80,000 years. A soul beast of that level was not something the Elephant Armored Sect could easily obtain. It seemed Spirit Hall was raising a dog all the way and had conveniently solved this guy's soul ring problem for him.
What was somewhat eye-stinging was that at this moment, he was engaged in piston motion with two female students wearing Elephant Armored Academy uniforms. Worth mentioning: Elephant Armored Academy only recruited students with powerful martial souls like the Diamond Mammoth. As for the appearance and figures of these two female students, there is no need to elaborate here; use your own imagination.
Having seen great storms, this was the first time Shen Hanyu felt a chill down his back.
After distancing himself from Elephant Armored Academy, Shen Hanyu recalled the scene he had just perceived with his mental power and still shivered fiercely. They really knew how to play… Afterward, he circulated his soul power and quickly returned to the small courtyard. He had suffered psychological trauma in the city and needed the fragrant and soft Snow Emperor to heal him~
…
Sleepless night.
The next morning, Shen Hanyu woke up full of energy. The Snow Emperor gently pulled over the nearby blanket to cover her exposed snow-white skin, let out a soft yawn, and lay back into Shen Hanyu's embrace.
From outside the window came several crisp bird calls. At some point, a pair of skylarks had built a nest among the lush branches of the evergreen tree, becoming friendly neighbors to Shen Hanyu.
As expected, Shui Ningbing and the girls would still come today. Shen Hanyu had long grown accustomed to this. After cuddling with the Snow Emperor for a while, the two got up together and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
Aside from barbecue, Shen Hanyu was not skilled at other cooking, but he had a diligent and clever girlfriend. In just a few short years and with only a handful of times cooking, the Snow Emperor had achieved considerable success. The meals she made might not be rare treasures, but they were at least perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
Seeing the usually aloof and otherworldly Snow Emperor willingly cooking for him, waves of warmth surged in Shen Hanyu's heart, and an involuntary smile spread across his lips.
After breakfast, the two tacitly went under the tree to relax and laze about. You Mengchu was the first to arrive at the small courtyard. After greeting the Snow Emperor, she took out a brand-new book and handed it to Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu looked at the plain cover and the five words "You Will Regret It If You Don't Read This," falling into brief silence. Still, he casually opened it and flipped through a couple of pages. The content was excellent, within a reasonable scope, and it provided detailed explanations and summaries of originally simple material. Clearly, a great deal of effort had been put into it.
"Not bad. You can ask Aunt Shui to help you publish it. I believe that within a couple of days, the entire continent will be shaken by this work from you, the Imperial Feather Douluo…"
Shen Hanyu said with a smile.
You Mengchu nodded, then added:
"Sister Shui asked me to ask whether you will take Bing'er to hunt for her soul ring, or if she will take her…"
Shen Hanyu pondered for a moment. Shui Bing'er was now twelve years old. Although he hadn't paid much attention to the girls' cultivation progress in recent years, thanks to the foundation laid in previous years, their cultivation speed wouldn't be slow. After all, during the year and a half that he and the Snow Emperor were "traveling," Shen Liuyu had already successfully broken through to Soul King level.
After thinking it over, Shen Hanyu said somewhat helplessly:
"Since she had you come ask me, who else do you think it could be…"
You Mengchu glanced at Shen Hanyu and said:
"Your awareness is quite high."
Shen Hanyu nodded without any courtesy and replied:
"If you went through it three or four times, you'd get used to it too. That's the honest truth."
You Mengchu put away the book, turned, and said:
"Then I'll head back first. I still have a practical combat class this afternoon, and after class I have to help Sister Shui grade assignments…"
Shen Hanyu nodded, watching You Mengchu fly away into the distance.
A pair of slightly cool arms wrapped around him from the side, followed by the Snow Emperor's soft voice in his ear:
"Where are you planning to take that girl to obtain her soul ring?"
Shen Hanyu turned his head slightly, smiled, and said:
"Do you remember the Ice Jade Luan Bird flock we encountered halfway when we entered the ocean from the Extreme North last time? I think they're quite suitable."
The Snow Emperor furrowed her brows slightly. After a moment of silence, she said:
"Forget it, do as you wish. If I stop you once, you'll suspect me a little more. Just don't slaughter indiscriminately."
Shen Hanyu also understood the conflict in the Snow Emperor's heart. He gently pulled her into his embrace, had her straddle his lap, and said with a smile:
"You're not wrong, and I understand you. After I become a god, I'll revive all the soul beasts we've hunted. This can be considered their opportunity."
The Snow Emperor nodded slightly, then felt this position was a bit too obvious. Her pretty face flushed as she lay against Shen Hanyu's body.
There was a smile in Shen Hanyu's eyes. Once he became a god, reviving a few soul beasts would be a mere flick of the wrist. His bond with the Snow Emperor had grown ever deeper, gradually entering the realm of family. Occasionally, yielding a little and coaxing her was also necessary; this was probably the final role of those soul beasts that hadn't voluntarily sacrificed themselves…
