Chapter 11 Na'er, Leng Yaozhu's lucky break, and the missed opportunity with Yun Ming
"Have I arrived in the human world?"
The girl murmured to herself, a thoughtful look flashing in her purple eyes. Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing her fair legs. She was like a sculpted jade sculpture, exuding an otherworldly aura, yet also subtly carrying a noble air.
"So this is Shrek City, the number one city on the continent that Di Tian mentioned. Humanity's development is indeed rapid."
The girl's gaze swept over the towering buildings in front of her, finally settling on a shop on the side of the street.
The shop has a green monster logo on it, and at the bottom of the signboard is a line of small print: Shrek Academy Collaboration Handmade Giant Sausage.
"I never expected such a change in my transformation, that I would even encounter a spatial rift. So, I am only half of the Silver Dragon King now, and my martial soul after transformation is... the Silver Dragon Spear."
"And my current name should be Na'er."
The girl carefully assessed her current situation and pondered silently. On the back of her right hand was a silver-white spear mark.
"Little friend, be careful not to run into bad guys while wandering the streets at this hour."
Just then, crisp footsteps rang out, followed by a soft laugh from behind Na'er.
"Um?"
Na'er turned around and saw the person behind her clearly. A hint of amazement appeared in her purple eyes.
The person behind her was tall and slender with a curvaceous figure. Her dark red hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as jade. Her phoenix eyes were reddish, and her features possessed both the delicate beauty and liveliness of a young girl, as well as a mature charm. Her pretty face was elegant yet aloof.
She wore a red robe embroidered with a golden phoenix, and under the streetlights high above, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Little friend, have you gotten separated from your parents? Where do you live?"
Seeing that Na'er did not answer, the woman slowly leaned down, looked Na'er straight in the eye, and asked gently.
"Na'er has no parents...and no home anymore..."
Na'er shook her head slightly, a hint of sadness appearing on her pretty face, and said in a pitiful tone.
She was new to the human world and hadn't figured anything out yet. Moreover, her strength was temporarily sealed due to her human form. The person in front of her was clearly of high status.
So, Na'er decided to try clinging to someone powerful.
"Yes, I have indeed inherited the Silver Dragon King's extraordinary wisdom."
Seeing the surprised and hesitant look on the elegant woman's face, Na'er secretly gave herself a thumbs up for her decision.
"The soul power fluctuations emanating from this little girl are clearly at level ten, and judging from her bone age, she's only six years old. Moreover, there's an aura within her that's no weaker than mine—is it a martial soul...?"
The woman frowned slightly as she looked at the little girl in front of her. A hint of surprise flashed in her phoenix eyes, for her martial soul was the top-tier Heavenly Phoenix.
Her identity is none other than Leng Yaozhu, the current deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda and the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan.
"Why don't you come home with me first? Your aunt's house is quite big."
Leng Yaozhu reached out and stroked Na'er's little head, a smile playing on her lips, and whispered, but her tone was somewhat like that of a wolf who had abducted a little lamb.
"If what the girl in front of me said is true, then I have truly met a genius."
Leng Yaozhu thought to herself that she had a feeling of spiritual enlightenment tonight and could not calm down to cultivate. At her level of cultivation, it felt more like a premonition, so she decided to go downstairs to relax and happened to run into the girl in front of her.
"You're not a bad person, are you?"
Na'er asked cautiously.
The more you can't have something, the more you love it. Na'er can't just give it away for free; she has to make herself more important.
"Haha, of course I'm not a bad person. Auntie is from the Spirit Pagoda, so you can rest assured now."
Leng Yaozhu smiled gently.
When Na'er heard about the Spirit Pagoda, her eyes lit up immediately. She naturally knew about this colossal entity in the human world.
"Gu Yue, you just stay in that corner of the Star Dou Great Forest. I, Na'er, will definitely save the Soul Beast race before you do."
Na'er hummed to herself, then, as if making a major decision, she handed her small hand to Leng Yaozhu in front of her.
"Good girl, let's go."
Leng Yaozhu took Na'er's little hand, preparing to take her home.
What should I call you?
Na'er asked hesitantly.
"Your aunt's name is Leng Yaozhu, you can just call me Aunt Leng."
Leng Yaozhu smiled, her icy exterior concealing a burning flame, both radiant and icy.
"Hello, Sister Leng."
Na'er said crisply.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she tightly held Na'er's small hand.
Under the soft light, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly lengthened and disappeared around the street corner...
Shortly after the two left, a cold-looking young man and a gentle-looking woman also arrived at the same place.
"Brother Ming, why are you out for a walk so late? Is something on your mind?"
The woman asked gently.
"I sensed a connection before, but it's disappeared now. Maybe I was mistaken."
The aloof young man shook his head slightly, then looked at the woman beside him and said with a hint of apology.
"Yali, you're still coming out with me so late, really..."
"As long as I can be by your side, Brother Ming, none of this matters. Besides, it's nice to get out for a walk."
Ya Li took Yun Ming's strong arm and said softly.
……
"My disciple, wake up. You can't sleep for so long at your age."
Outside Shrek City, a dark red mecha landed. Mu Ye pulled Jiang Xiu out of the mecha and forcibly activated it.
Shrek City has a no-fly zone, so they will have to walk to the Spirit Tower headquarters.
"Master, I was too tired last night. I will definitely get up earlier from now on."
Jiang Xiu, still half asleep, stretched his limbs beside the mecha, but when he saw Shrek City in front of him, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
Shrek City was surrounded by a tall metal wall, which gleamed in the early morning light. Around it were patrol teams, all bearing the insignia of Shrek Academy, clearly Shrek's own garrison.
"It's alright. After you obtain the soul spirit today, I will teach you our Body Sect's unique meditation method, allowing cultivation to replace sleep, and making the most of your own time."
Mu Ye raised his hand to put away the mecha behind him, waved his hand, and then led Jiang Xiu toward Shrek City, talking as they walked.
"How about it? Shrek City is impressive, isn't it? It's known as the safest city on the entire continent. Of the four major powers on the continent, apart from the Temple of War, the headquarters of the other three powers are all located here. In the future, when our Body Sect returns as kings, we will also build a headquarters here."
"Safety? Master, we're not building our headquarters here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu quickly waved his hand and said.
"What's wrong, my disciple? Do you feel unsafe here? Could there be another big explosion?"
Mu Ye led Jiang Xiu into Shrek City, jokingly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu stopped in his tracks and looked at Mu Ye with disbelief.
Could it be that my master is a prophet?
