Finally Meeting Na'er, Encountering Street Thugs
This person, dressed in red with silver hair, was absolutely beautiful and flawless; she was the very girl Long Yuan had seen on the shore earlier.
Even though it was already evening, the girl was still beautiful despite the dim light.
Even in the darkness of night, her radiance could not be concealed.
The two walked together and looked into each other's eyes.
"Na'er, are you Na'er?"
Long Yuan tried asking, "That should be it. It's just that Na'er has grown up and lost some of her naivety, gaining a bit more maturity."
Upon hearing Long Yuan's call, the silver-haired girl froze for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out.
"Ah..."
She suddenly screamed, her voice trembling slightly, and asked, "Are you... Brother Long Yuan?"
Although they have both grown up and changed a bit, their voices haven't changed much.
That familiar feeling hasn't changed.
Not only has it not changed, it has actually become even lighter.
"Yes, I am Long Yuan!" Long Yuan's heart trembled. Had he finally seen Na'er? "Brother, Brother Long Yuan!"
As a faint fragrance wafted by, the silver-haired girl threw herself into Long Yuan's arms.
Tears streamed down her beautiful eyes as she buried herself in Long Yuan's arms, sobbing, happy, and jubilant.
"Brother, is it really you? Is it really you?"
Na'er hugged Long Yuan tightly, jumping and skipping in his arms, extremely excited.
Her delicate body trembled with excitement in Long Yuan's arms.
Na'er was overjoyed to smell the familiar scent.
"It's me, Na'er! I've finally seen you!"
Long Yuan's eyes were also filled with tears.
He picked up Na'er and spun her around several times.
Na'er has grown up and is now tall and slender; she is no longer the chubby, pretty, and adorable little girl she once was.
She grew to be over 1.6 meters tall and became a twelve-year-old girl.
It took them a while to vent their emotions.
'Brother, what are you doing here?'
Na'er asked with a delighted expression.
"I am an Outer Court student of the Shrek Academy. I am here to learn from my Grandmaster."
And you, why are you here?
Long Yuan asked, although he knew some things from the original work and from Teacher Wu Zhangkong, he still wanted to hear what Na'er had to say.
Perhaps what Wu Zhangkong knows is just a guess, who knows for sure.
"Brother, you go first. How have you been getting by all these years?"
Na'er wiped away her tears, her big eyes brimming with curiosity.
At that moment, Long Yuan recounted everything that had happened after Na'er left.
After Long Yuan finished speaking, the sky became completely dark.
"Na'er, what about you?"
Long Yuan asked with concern, "Back then, Na'er left because she remembered some things and knew who she was."
Beep beep beep! Just then, his Soul Guidance Communicator rang; it was Wu Zhangkong calling.
"Teacher Wu!"
Long Yuan quickly got the communication back on; his teacher must be worried that he hadn't returned home so late.
"Come back quickly!"
Wu Zhangkong said in an icy voice.
'Yes!'
Long Yuan responded, hung up the call, and pulled Na'er along, heading towards the small building in the Zhuo Shi.
"Na'er, my Grandmaster is the Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi Your Excellency, Lord Zhuoshi. He wants me to go back. Come on, I'll take you to him."
"No, brother, I'm going back too. It's too late. My master is also from the Shrek Academy, but he doesn't want me to say. I'll tell you another time!"
Na'er grabbed Long Yuan, hugged Long Yuan again, and then urged him to go back quickly.
After dropping Long Yuan off not far from the Turbid Zhuo Shi Pavilion, she turned and left.
"Brother, I'll come find you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Na'er disappeared from Long Yuan's sight.
After returning to the Zhuo Shi Pavilion, Wu Zhangkong didn't say anything, only telling him to get some rest.
Feeling relaxed, Long Yuan entered his room and went into a meditative state again.
He constantly strives to improve his strength, so that he can become more powerful and protect those he wants to protect.
After waking up the next day, Long Yuan continued to practice the first and second forms of the Crimson Dragon Nine Styles Forms under the guidance of Zhuo Shi.
The first move is "Golden Dragon Startles the Heavens".
The second move is "Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth".
In the afternoon, Long Yuan met Na'er at the place where they had met the day before, as agreed.
"Na'er, your eyes weren't this color before. Did they turn out like this after you Martial Soul Awakening?"
Long Yuan looked into Na'er's silver eyes and said.
Previously, Na'er's eyes were purple.
"Yes, brother, I'm sorry. I left without saying goodbye that time. My family found me and took me away!"
After returning home and performing a ceremony, I awakened my Martial Soul!
After that, when I was eight years old, my family sent me here to become a disciple of a teacher and begin my cultivation, and I have been doing so ever since.
Brother, I've missed you so much all these years!
Na'er spoke, she threw herself into Long Yuan's arms again.
"I'm so glad you found your family. I miss you so much, and Mom misses you too. How about I take you home to meet Mom during the holidays?"
"OK!"
Na'er was very excited, and then she pulled Long Yuan and insisted on going to buy some delicious food.
After saying goodbye to Wu Zhangkong, Long Yuan took Na'er and left Sea God Island.
He was going to take Na'er outside the Shrek Academy to buy something to eat.
"It smells so good, brother! Shall we have some grilled squid?"
Before long, Long Yuan brought Na'er to the Snack Street outside the Shrek Academy.
"OK!"
Long Yuan has made a lot of money through forging, and he buys Na'er whatever she wants to eat or desire.
The two ate their way from one end of the street to the other, Na'er was overjoyed.
Aside from her height and age changing, Na'er's personality hasn't changed; she's still the same as when she was a child.
She still relies on Long Yuan a lot and is very attached to him.
Moreover, Na'er has a huge appetite; the two little foodies ate so much that it left everyone speechless.
"Speed, your absolute speed is still too slow. Also, you need to pay attention to how you channel your power; you need to integrate speed into your strength..."
Outside the dormitory in the Shrek Academy Outer Courtyard, Liang Xiaoyu of West Mountain Dawn, was instructing Xie Xie.
Liang Xiaoyu was a middle-aged man Xie Xie had met in the past few days. After a contest between the two, Xie Xie was defeated.
So Liang Xiaoyu began to guide Xie Xie his cultivation.
"That little girl is quite pretty!"
Outside the Shrek Academy, on the Snack Street, just as Long Yuan and Na'er finished eating and were about to stroll around, a malicious voice suddenly rang out amidst the noise.
Long Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw several young men who looked to be in their twenties watching him and Na'er not far away.
The people walking at the front had their chests exposed, revealing tattoos on their arms and chests.
He doesn't look like a good person at all.
Many people on the street quickly made way for them when they saw them arrive.
Even the shop owners didn't dare to look at them, keeping their heads down and doing business.
"Xiao Lei, you're talking about that silver-haired girl, right? She seems a bit too young!"
The burly young man walking in front frowned and said.
"Little is good! Haven't you heard of the 'Beautiful Girl Raising Project'? The girls raised will be the most considerate!"
Xiao Lei revealed a lewd smile.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Several thugs burst into loud laughter, completely disregarding what others thought of them.
The thugs' eyes were all fixed on Na'er.
"Boss, who are they?"
Long Yuan asked the owner of the barbecue stall he had just eaten at in a low voice.
"They were probably students who started at the Shrek Academy, or they failed the entrance exam and harbored resentment, unwilling to leave. After living here, they started to go astray."
"Hurry up and leave. They were probably talking about your sister. They're both Soul Master; you can't afford to mess with them. Just bear with it and stay away!"
The boss said, gesturing for Long Yuan to take Na'er and leave quickly.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me!"
Long Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he took Na'er's little hand and headed towards the back of the barbecue stall, preparing to go around back to the Shrek Academy.
"Where are you two headed? How about we grab a drink together?"
The two had only walked a short distance when they were blocked by several people.
A gaunt young man shook his head and spoke, then reached out and put his hand on Na'er's shoulder.
