The sudden appearance of the girl immediately put Tu Ya on high alert.
This was the Star Dou Great Forest's Life Lake. How could a human child suddenly appear in a place like this?
The figure gradually walked out of the mist, revealing herself.
A piece of coarse burlap that barely covered her body was draped over her casually. Despite the lack of dressing up, it could not conceal her ethereal and transcendent temperament in the slightest.
The girl's silvery-white long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her exquisitely carved little face was like a porcelain doll, her cuteness not losing to Xiao Wu's in the least.
She merely walked, drawing closer to Chu Fei step by step, a trace of lucid clarity flickering momentarily in the depths of her pupils.
Found him.
Found him.
The girl murmured to herself, her every step extremely unsteady. But after catching sight of Chu Fei, all of this vanished, and she pressed forward with a resolute pace.
She had no clear idea why she was doing this, as if coming here was solely for the purpose of meeting Chu Fei.
Watching the girl draw progressively closer.
Xiao Wu's internal alarm bells rang loudly. She instantly stepped in front of Chu Fei, pouting and speaking in a milky, childish voice, "You aren't allowed to come any closer! Who are you?"
She akimboed and pointed at the girl, her gaze continuously sizing her up from top to bottom.
Although Xiao Wu was still young, upon first meeting the girl, she had instinctively compared herself to her.
Yet with just this comparison, a sense of crisis inexplicably grew in her heart, causing her to glance back at Chu Fei from time to time.
Hmph! He was still looking at Xiao Wu!
"I am Na'er," the girl replied in a nearly mechanical fashion, not stopping despite Xiao Wu blocking her path.
"Na'er, where do you come from, and who are your parents?" Tu Ya asked softly, standing beside her.
Tu Ya's appearance and questions caused Na'er's figure to halt abruptly, as if Tu Ya's questions were an extremely difficult puzzle to solve.
These questions gradually twisted into a chaotic tangle in Na'er's mind. The pain of being unable to answer or find the truth caused her small face to wrinkle, her brows furrowing tightly.
Tu Ya comforted her from the side, saying, "Don't rush, think slowly."
"We aren't bad people either. If you know these things, we can send you back to your mom and dad."
Perhaps the comfort worked, as Na'er's expression gradually calmed down. She shook her head, racking her brains to think.
After a long while, having found no results.
Under Tu Ya's gaze, Na'er simply answered softly, "I don't know."
"I don't know where I come from, nor do I know who my parents are. I only—"
With that, Na'er looked at Chu Fei beside them, as if brewing what she wanted to say.
"I only felt that he was very familiar and affectionate, so I searched and came over."
"I just want to, I just want to stay with him."
Chu Fei felt very familiar?
Hearing Na'er say this, Tu Ya cast a startled look at Chu Fei, recalling the time when they first met.
When her master first appeared, he had also descended from the skies, unaware of where he came from.
This little girl before her had also appeared out of thin air. Could it be that she and her master were siblings?
Seeing Tu Ya's questioning look, Chu Fei simply shook his head.
Siblings were definitely out of the question; didn't he know whether he had siblings or not?
As for this fellow who had dropped from the skies, Chu Fei already had a conclusion in his heart.
Perhaps she was that person?
Yet the timing right now was far too early.
Chu Fei looked back at the mist-shrouded Life Lake, hesitating for a moment. He wasn't sure if his guess was correct.
To verify the conjecture in his heart, Chu Fei looked at Na'er and said, "Na'er, can you release your Martial Soul and show it to me?"
Surging Soul Power spread outward from within Na'er's body.
Almost subconsciously, regarding Chu Fei's words, she began to display her Martial Soul without any hesitation.
Where that trust came from, Na'er herself did not know.
Amidst an aura of around the twentieth rank, her first Soul Ring followed and revealed itself.
Purple—a thousand-year Soul Ring.
Tu Ya looked at the Na'er before her in astonishment. She had not expected this human girl to also possess a thousand-year Soul Ring.
Xiao Wu had only managed to do that by absorbing and assimilating it to drastically improve her physique, but how could this girl?
Chu Fei did not show too much surprise. If his guess was correct, Na'er having a thousand-year Soul Ring was still understating it.
Until a long spear with a silvery-white body carved with naturally formed dragon patterns emerged from Na'er's hand, the conjecture in Chu Fei's heart was finally confirmed.
As expected.
This long spear, along with the aura upon it, could not be faked.
Silver Dragon Battle Spear.
The Na'er before him could only be the Silver Dragon King.
However, the Na'er in front of him deviated somewhat from the memories Chu Fei held.
The Silver Dragon King transformation he knew should have been Gu Yuena, whereas Na'er was Gu Yuena's human personality. Yet right now, Na'er had appeared directly instead of Gu Yuena.
Though he had many questions about this, Chu Fei did not dwell on it deeply.
Who knew what the Silver Dragon King was thinking? He wasn't the Silver Dragon King himself, so why bother thinking about so much?
Holding the Silver Dragon Battle Spear, Na'er still looked somewhat timid. She blinked her eyes as she gazed at Chu Fei, her pupils filled with anticipation.
She asked in a near-whisper, "Can I follow you?"
Chu Fei took two steps forward to stand in front of Na'er, rubbed her head, and said with a smile, "My name is Chu Fei. From now on, you will follow me."
Na'er at this moment clearly lacked the memories she held as the Silver Dragon King, so he naturally took her in smoothly.
Keeping her by his side wouldn't get in the way; it just meant one more mouth to feed.
"Na'er, go inside there and stay for a while to cultivate. There is no danger," Chu Fei said to Na'er, pointing at the Sea of Blood beside them.
To prevent any accidents in the future, it would be best for Na'er to enter the Sea of Blood and cultivate for a bit.
After assimilation, taking her along in the future would also be much more convenient.
Looking at the Sea of Blood, Na'er felt a subconscious sense of resistance in her heart, but she couldn't withstand Chu Fei's continued coaxing.
Na'er, who already held favorable feelings toward Chu Fei, ultimately nodded and gradually entered the Sea of Blood, relaxing her body and mind.
At the same time, Chu Fei activated the assimilation once more, and the Sea of Blood gradually attached itself to Na'er's Silver Dragon Battle Spear.
The shifting Sea of Blood assimilation ended along with the transformation of the Silver Dragon Battle Spear, and that silver spear, which had radiated a sacred and mighty aura, transformed into the Blood Dragon Battle Spear.
The aura did not change much; after all, the Silver Dragon Battle Spear was inherently a God-grade Martial Soul, and even after being assimilated into the Blood Dragon Battle Spear, it remained a God-grade Martial Soul.
It was just that a hint of killing intent had been added to the Blood Dragon Battle Spear.
Na'er moved her joints slightly, and the cracking sounds produced by the friction of her bones echoed continuously, proving the strength of her physique. As the avatar of the Silver Dragon King, Na'er possessed an extremely powerful Silver Dragon physique.
After undergoing the Sea of Blood assimilation, it transformed into the Blood Dragon Divine Body, and her Soul Power rose from the twentieth rank to the twenty-second rank.
Although the boost brought by the assimilation was considerable, compared to Xiao Wu's four-rank increase, it was not exceptionally large.
But this was also normal; besides physical alterations, Xiao Wu had also absorbed an entire inner pearl of the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger.
Meanwhile, Na'er's Blood Dragon Divine Body shared many similarities with Xiao Wu's Darkdemons Blood Divine Body.
For instance, a drastic enhancement in all attributes such as physical strength, power, speed, and reaction time; a drastic increase in the cultivation speed of Soul Power; and the suppression of soul shocks generated when absorbing Soul Rings.
The difference was that Na'er's Blood Dragon Divine Body could not be immune to attributes, but it could suppress all strength-type Soul Masters.
