The Moon Has Its Cloudy, Clear, Waxing, and Waning Phases

At night, Lin Xuan took a nice hot bath and came out of the bathroom.

"Eh! Where's Na'er?"

Lin Xuan looked at the empty bed in confusion.

At this time in the past, that little girl Na'er would already be eagerly waiting for his bedtime story.

Why was she nowhere to be found today?

Under the bright moonlight, the Young Girl's silver hair on the rooftop appeared especially radiant.

Na'er sat there quietly, propping her head up with both hands as she gazed at the crescent moon in the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

"Na'er, why did you climb up here?"

Lin Xuan sat down beside Na'er and asked, utterly puzzled.

"Big Brother!"

When Na'er saw Lin Xuan come up, a faint smile curled across her lips.

She skillfully lowered Lin Xuan's knees, found a comfortable position, and rested her little head against them.

"Is there really a Chang'e on the moon?"

Na'er lay flat on the roof with her head resting on Lin Xuan's lap, asking with a face full of curiosity.

She stretched her hand into the air and spread her fingers wide, yet the snowy moonlight still slipped through the gaps and fell upon her fair little face.

"In theory, there isn't. But who knows? Maybe there are other people there. Like the Moonlight Goddess or something!"

Lin Xuan smacked his lips as he spoke.

How could he possibly know what the moon was like on Douluo Continent? Besides, before he died in his previous life, even when the rabbit made it to the moon, it hadn't seen Chang'e either.

"Big Brother, if—I mean if—one day I flew to the moon like Chang'e did... would you miss me?"

Na'er stared intently into Lin Xuan's eyes, her expression utterly serious. Under the moonlight, the purple in her eyes grew even richer, like two exquisite purple gemstones.

"Na'er, you..."

As Lin Xuan looked into Na'er's focused gaze, an ominous guess rose in his heart.

As Na'er grew older, the violet tint in her pupils had become increasingly obvious. Lin Xuan knew very well what that meant.

Tonight, that trace of violet seemed to have completely filled Na'er's pupils. Coupled with her unusual behavior tonight, everything was self-evident.

So this day had finally come...

Lin Xuan's gaze turned distant as he sighed inwardly.

Over the past three years, Na'er had long become an important part of his life. Even though he had been mentally prepared for it, Lin Xuan still felt reluctant at this moment.

"Big Brother is such an idiot! If Big Brother leaves, Na'er definitely won't miss you!"

"No, Big Brother is so ugly! You definitely can't be Chang'e."

The light in Na'er's eyes flickered, and she returned to her usual carefree self, laughing playfully.

"Been a few days since I taught you a lesson, and you've gotten bold! You even dare make fun of me now!"

Lin Xuan snapped out of it as well. His face darkened, and he reached his wicked hands toward Na'er. After a bout of teasing, the night sky filled with a young girl's laughing pleas for mercy.

"Stop! It's time for bed!"

After they played around for a while, Na'er broke free from Lin Xuan's mischievous hands and glared at him in embarrassed annoyance.

Na'er first tidied her messy silver hair, then jumped down from the roof.

"Bleh~"

"I'm not staying up here with Big Brother to catch a cold!"

After landing on the ground, Na'er turned back and stuck her tongue out at Lin Xuan.

"Na'er!"

As Na'er was about to enter the house, Lin Xuan suddenly called out to her.

"Whichever moon you want to fly to, I'll go pluck it down for you first."

Under the moonlight, the young man seemed to have figured something out. The tension left his face, and he gave the girl below a sincere smile.

Na'er pulled back the foot she had stepped into the room with. She looked up at Lin Xuan and burst out laughing.

"Big Brother really is a big idiot! Isn't there only one moon in the sky?"

"And I don't want the moon. I only like rabbits..."

Looking at Lin Xuan, Na'er silently added in her heart.

Of course, I like Big Brother too!

The sky at the horizon began to brighten faintly.

Na'er, curled up in Lin Xuan's arms on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. But this time, they were not bright violet—they were a cold, silvery white.

Breaking free from Lin Xuan's embrace, "Na'er" glowed with silver light and floated into the air.

She looked at the sleeping Lin Xuan, her expression growing colder and colder.

"Damn human!"

Floating in midair, "Na'er" spoke coldly.

A thought that constantly resisted her still lingered in her mind, all because of this human.

"Na'er" raised her hand toward Lin Xuan as a flame slowly gathered in her palm.

"No! You're not allowed to hurt Brother!"

Just as the flame was about to take shape, the silver in Na'er's eyes suddenly faded and turned purple again, while the flame in her hand gradually dispersed.

"Brother? What a joke! We are dragons, soul beasts! He is human—what kind of brother is he! Besides, is he even as old as one of my fingernails?"

Silver once again took control of "Na'er's" eyes as she spoke coldly.

The next moment, flames gathered in her hand once more, only for her other hand to suddenly reach out and snuff them out. Her two hands began fighting each other.

"So what if Brother is human? He's different!"

"What's different about him? Those not of our race must have different hearts!"

"That's not true. Brother said that even if our races are different, we can still seek common ground while setting aside our differences. Like Xu Xian and White Lady, Cowherd and Weaver Girl. So what if one is a soul beast? So what if one is an immortal? As long as everyone holds kindness in their hearts, they can still live together in harmony."

"Childish! Kindness? If humans held kindness toward us, why would we soul beasts have to cower in the core region, unable to take even half a step outside?"

"I don't care! You can't hurt him!"

"..."

After struggling for quite some time, the Silver Dragon King's primary personality realized she could not completely suppress Na'er. She gave up on using soul skills and instead clenched her hand.

A silver spear appeared in "Na'er's" hand. She forcefully suppressed Na'er's resistance within her mind and flew toward Lin Xuan.

"No!"

Two lines of clear tears flowed from "Na'er's" eyes, yet her hand still gripped the Silver Dragon Spear as she thrust it at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was utterly unaware of the incoming attack. He even scratched his butt in his sleep.

The silver-white spear gleamed with biting cold light, like Death's scythe, stabbing toward the still-sleeping Lin Xuan. But when its tip was less than three inches from him—

"Na'er" suddenly frowned and immediately withdrew her spear. Then, with a flash of silver light, she vanished from the room.

On the roof of an abandoned building several hundred meters away, silver light flickered as "Na'er" appeared.

"How is that possible?"

"Na'er" stared at the courtyard several hundred meters away in confusion, her brows tightly furrowed.

This human was not as simple as he appeared!

At the very moment she was about to succeed, a warning had suddenly surged in her heart. Some unseen premonition told her—

If that strike had landed, Lin Xuan would die, but she would also pay the price. That price was—death!

She was the Silver Dragon King, the Dragon God's avatar. Even if her current strength was less than one-tenth of the Dragon God's, her spiritual level was far from low. This was definitely not a premonition, but reality.

"Child of Destiny!"

"Na'er" said each word slowly.

She could share Na'er's memories, and as she recalled Lin Xuan's performance over the past three years—

His superb swordsmanship, his physical body that could steadily grow stronger with ease, his extraordinary Forging Talent... none of this could be explained merely by calling him a genius!

But if Lin Xuan was the Child of Destiny of this era, then everything made sense!

The Child of Destiny of the Douluo world was protected by the entire Douluo Star. Only that could pose a threat of death to her.

Although the current Douluo Star was barely clinging to life, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. This was a world that had once produced multiple God Kings.

But why?!

"Na'er's" eyes were filled with fury and unwillingness. The cold aura radiating from her body seemed capable of freezing even the moonlight in midair.

It was clearly humans who had slaughtered soul beasts without restraint, destroying Douluo Star's ecosystem. Why did it still favor humans?!

"I will prove to you that humans are the ones in the wrong!"

Looking at the black heavens filled with stars, "Na'er" spoke coldly. Then her figure flashed, and she disappeared from this stretch of land.
