Wang Donger watched the two girls walk away. She did not think much about their strange behavior and simply returned to her seat. She had a lot of catching up to do, so she opened her books to study spirit tool theory. She needed to work hard to keep up with the rest of the class.
On the other side of the room, Gu Yue used her power to create a small zone of silence around them. She looked at Ancient Autumn and spoke in a calm voice. She told Ancient Autumn that she could keep an eye on Wang Donger for now, but she warned her not to get too close or interact with her too much.
Ancient Autumn was confused by this instruction. She looked at her companion and asked why. She wondered if there was something special or dangerous about the girl they had just met. She called Gu Yue "Sister Sovereign" and waited for an answer.
Gu Yue explained that the girl's soul was not normal. She told Ancient Autumn that she could feel a faint trace of Divine Sense inside her. Based on the aura, Gu Yue believed it belonged to the Sea God who lived ten thousand years ago.
Ancient Autumn was shocked to hear this. She asked if the Sea God was really a divinity from the God Realm. She stopped to think for a moment, and her eyes became very serious. She asked if they should take action or do something about it.
Gu Yue shook her head gently. She turned a page in the book she was holding and said there was no need for that. She explained that the girl was part of a plan made by the power of fate. It was very obvious but also very subtle, almost like it was a decision made at the last minute.
Gu Yue believed this was the work of the plane will. She thought it was an opportunity or a trial sent specifically for the person known as the Son of Destiny. She told Ancient Autumn that while they could sense the general direction of the Son of Destiny, it was hard to find his exact spot. By following the fate of this girl, it would be much easier to find their target.
Ancient Autumn finally understood the plan and nodded. She agreed to find a good time to become a little bit friendly with Wang Donger so they could stay close to the trail.
Gu Yue did not say anything else. Her eyes were calm as she looked back at her book. The book was made of a special material, and the title on the cover said "Elementary Spirit Ring Interpretation."
Both Gu Yue and Ancient Autumn had already joined the academy before Wang Donger arrived. Gu Yue had used her powers to make sure their disguises were perfect. Their ages and their cultivation levels looked exactly right for students.
During her time there, Gu Yue showed everyone that she had amazing talent. She was great at using mental force and making spirit tools. Because of this talent, the school gave her extra resources to use.
Soon after, she was invited to join a club called Sun Moon. This was an internal school club that was very popular. Gu Yue looked into the club and found out it was only a year old. Even though it was new, it had already taken over all the other top clubs in the academy. People said the club had the support of the Dean, Jing Hongchen.
Most of the members were the best students in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. To make sure they looked like normal human students, Gu Yue and Ancient Autumn joined the club. They had to sign a secret agreement, and then they were allowed to see the special cultivation materials the club used.
Gu Yue whispered the words "Spell Cultivator" to herself. She ran her fingers over the pages of the book. The ideas in the book were very different from what a normal Spirit Master would believe. They changed everything people thought they knew about power.
She looked over at the book Ancient Autumn was reading. That book was titled "Body Cultivator Detailed Explanation." Gu Yue whispered "Body Cultivator" as she watched her friend study.
Ancient Autumn had told her that the path of a Body Cultivator worked perfectly with her Golden Dragon Martial Soul. Gu Yue was curious about that path too, but the rules of her secret agreement did not let her see those books yet.
The agreement was very strict. Gu Yue knew she could break the seal with her power, but that would set off an alarm. She did not want anyone to find out who they really were, so she decided to wait. She pushed her curiosity aside and focused on the Spell Cultivator theories in her own hands.
She read about how a spirit ring could be used in new ways. The book talked about stripping away the soul, making things modular, and even self-condensation. She found it all very fascinating.
A small flash of purple appeared deep in her black eyes. She was very interested in these new ideas. She was not sure who came up with these theories, but she had a feeling they were linked to the Son of Destiny. Her intuition told her that someone with immense luck must be behind this.
Her curiosity was growing every day. She really wanted to meet this Child of Destiny and see what kind of person he was.
As time passed, things continued to change in the world outside and inside the laboratory. The lab was filled with cool, soft light, making it feel very peaceful.
A small girl wearing a beautiful white and green dress sat on the edge of a cold workbench. This was the Snow Empress in her human form. She swung her feet back and forth. Her feet were covered in sheer black stockings. Sometimes her toes would touch the blue energy models that the young man was building at his desk.
The youth, Kong Mingan, was very busy with his work. Snow Empress leaned on the counter with one hand. With her other hand, she messed with a pile of storybooks.
Kong Mingan had given her those books because he was afraid she would get bored while he worked. She liked reading them at first, but she had already finished all of them. She had read them so many times that she knew the stories by heart. However, Kong Mingan was so focused on his work that he forgot to give her any new ones.
Snow Empress puffed out her cheeks in a cute, annoyed way. Her golden eyes moved around the room until they landed on Kong Mingan's face. He was sitting right next to her.
She let out a soft snort in her mind. She felt a little bit of resentment because he was ignoring her, but she also liked watching him. Since she had started staying with him as a guard, she learned a lot about his life.
She realized that his life was very simple and followed a strict routine. Most of the time, he just sat at his workbench drawing and writing. He was always surrounded by blue energy lines that looked like a complicated puzzle.
She thought he was a very strange person. She remembered what the other Snow Empress had told her about him being different from other humans. She started to believe it was true. After all, she didn't think a normal human would want to stay in a lab all day and night.
But she also thought he had some good qualities. For example, he always answered her questions. He never ignored her or gave her short, lazy answers. Even though she was just guarding him, it wasn't as boring as her life in the Extreme North Land. Back there, she would just wake up, hunt, eat, and then stare at the snow for hours.
Snow Empress used the books as a pillow and rested her chin on her hand. She watched the young man as he worked. She noticed his long eyelashes and the way he looked when he was thinking hard. She thought he looked very handsome and charming when he was focused like this.
She realized he looked much better now than when he was using his tools to perform surgery on her. As she was daydreaming, Kong Mingan suddenly stopped moving.
The blue light in his eyes went away, and he looked like a normal person again. Snow Empress felt her heart jump because she was caught staring. She quickly grabbed a book and held it in front of her face. She pretended to read it very seriously.
Then she looked down at him and tried to act like she didn't care. She asked him in a cool voice if he was finally finished.
Kong Mingan turned his head to talk to her, but he stopped when he saw the book in her hands. There was a moment of silence. He reached out and took the book from her. He turned it right-side up and handed it back because she had been holding it upside down.
He told her that Elder Yi was done with his meditation. He told her to come with him so they could go see him together.
Snow Empress was surprised and felt her face get warm because of the book mistake. She tried to make up an excuse, but Kong Mingan was already walking toward the door.
She shouted for him to wait and jumped off the bench. She ran to catch up with him. He did not look back, but he slowed down his steps so she could walk right next to him.
She started explaining that what happened with the book was just an accident. Kong Mingan nodded and said he believed her, but he didn't even look at her.
Snow Empress felt frustrated. She knew he didn't believe her at all. She clenched her fists, feeling a bit silly but following him anyway.
