Enemy Hostility?

"Is that any way to meet a girl?" Ya Li shielded Na'er with both hands, looking slightly flustered as she refused to let Gu You get close.

"Mm, indeed." Gu You nodded solemnly.

"We should talk business." Ya Li crossed her arms over her chest. Na'er hid behind her, not daring to show even half an eye this time.

"Okay." Gu You somehow pulled out a stool, sat upright on it with his chest puffed out, and looked at Ya Li with wide, round eyes.

"You... forget it." Ya Li was somewhat speechless. "Your Martial Soul's attributes are very unusual. Three special auras and one ultimate attribute—rare throughout history. Especially your second Soul Ring's added Soul Skill. Its mental attack is incredibly powerful, and it inflicts the most fatal kind of mental trauma. Those things are actually quite ordinary. The only issue is that aura of destruction, which resembles the methods of an Evil Soul Master. And at my level, I can clearly sense that your second Soul Skill contains vengeful souls. Though their aura is faint, it can easily lead to misunderstandings."

Gu You froze. What vengeful souls? He had never harmed anyone, had he?

Seeing Gu You's bewildered expression, Ya Li smiled faintly. "Release your Soul Rings and make your Soul Spirit ethereal. Let me take a look."

Gu You seemed to understand. Soul Rings rose beneath his feet, and a proud dragon's roar burst forth, shaking the heavens. Even Ya Li was affected, her face turning somewhat pale.

But at that moment, another light dragon's cry rang out. Gu You and Ya Li looked toward Na'er in confusion.

A snowy-white, radiant spear appeared in the girl's hand. A purple Soul Ring shone brightly, while intricate dragon patterns were carved upon the spear, giving off a faint white glow.

The Silver Dragon Spear! It was Na'er's Martial Soul.

Roar!

After the dragon cry from the spear, Gu You instantly felt his chest sink. Purple Dragon Scales began to cover his body, and when he raised his head to look at Na'er, his gaze had turned bloodthirsty.

Ya Li naturally saw that something was wrong. Gentle green light began to envelop Gu You, and in an instant, the aura around his body started to wither away. The Dragon Scales receded, and he returned to human form.

Na'er's eyes were filled with disbelief. She had just felt bloodline suppression!

Most of her memories had already returned, but her strength remained weak. In the human world, even though the Holy Spirit Douluo had become her adoptive mother, her companion had still sent two Ferocious Beasts to protect her. Yet even so, as a Dragon God Clone, she had actually felt suppression from a top-tier bloodline. Just who was this boy before her? Her memories contained no dragon species with such a Martial Soul.

So it was hostility. Ya Li thought to herself. Simply put, hostility meant that Gu You's Martial Soul and Na'er's Martial Soul were enemies. Even if the grudge had not originated from the two of them themselves, the inherited will was unavoidable.

Gu You clutched his head in pain. The image of two Giant Dragons battling appeared again. He felt his Martial Soul trembling, filled with endless fury and unwillingness.

After calming down, Gu You looked at Na'er, and Na'er looked back at him. Both their eyes were full of curiosity, but after only an instant, Na'er lowered her head again.

"You two only need to get to know each other a little. Resolving the hostility is quite simple. Cultivate close to each other's Martial Souls over a long period. When it erupts, I'll suppress it, and once both sides become familiar with each other's aura, it should disappear." Ya Li rested her chin on both hands, her gaze very calm.

"It would be best if it can be resolved... Oh, right, Godmother, I think I know about the vengeful souls." Gu You spoke after thinking it over.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"My first Soul Spirit was a Tyrant Dragon of the Sub-Dragon Species. By now, this type of Soul Beast should have gone extinct, but... Master had some defective ten-year specimens. Their genes were purified through fusion. Back then, by a strange twist of fate... I chose one of those defective specimens. During the fusion process, I saw..."

Ya Li and Na'er's eyes were full of curiosity. What had he seen?

Gu You paused, then told the two of them everything about the fusion in his dream.

Ya Li frowned, while Na'er's gaze darkened. Without realizing it, she had already clenched both hands tightly.

Damn humans...

"No wonder. That was resentment unique to Soul Spirits. I was wondering why it felt so strange; turns out there was another reason. This Spirit Pagoda really is something! They'll do anything for profit, even conduct such experiments. But none of that matters. What matters is that we finally got together again, right?" Ya Li glanced at Gu You reproachfully.

"Ah! Right, right, being together is what matters most. And I even gained a little sister. Don't worry! In the future, I'll definitely become... the strongest Soul Master." Gu You thought of his grandmother and Shen Yue. Being reunited truly was important, though he had yet to be reunited with them. Still, right now, they really were together...

"Hmph! You think you can become the strongest Soul Master?" Ya Li snorted softly, then vanished from the spot with Gu You and Na'er.

Inside the Shrek City Grand Hotel, Ya Li stared blankly at Na'er, who was voraciously stuffing herself. She ate that much? Wouldn't she get fat?

Gu You had lost his appetite as well. This was the first time he had seen how much food pure bloodline power required. It was more than ten times, perhaps even eight times, what he ate. Let's see who dared say he could eat a lot in the future.

Na'er looked rather vacant while eating, as if she were not very bright. Hundred-year dragonfish tendons, hundred-year blood steak... all kinds of spiritual delicacies continuously disappeared into her mouth, making for a rather peculiar sight.

One could imagine it: an incredibly cute and beautiful girl with a slender figure, yet when she ate, she wolfed down food without the slightest restraint.

"Hello, sir and madam! Your bill." A server entered with a smile.

"How much?" Ya Li asked confidently.

"Five million Federation Coins!"

"Fine! Wait, how much?" Something was off in Ya Li's eyes. That was five million! Her monthly salary as the Sea God Pavilion's vice master was only two million. To be honest, Ya Li did not care much about money, because with her reputation alone, she could obtain almost anything. But that depended on the other party recognizing her. How could a lowly restaurant employee before her possibly know who she was?

"Is there not enough money? Then I'll..." The server sensed that something was wrong and was about to call someone over when a voice stopped him.

"I'll cover it." Gu You painfully took out a card from his storage ring. During those three years of forging, he occasionally had finished forged items to sell, so he had earned some money. This card held close to ten million. Of course, he could not possibly have earned that much by himself; part of the money had been government subsidies deposited by the Federation. At the same time, this card was the rarest Red Soul-Forged Special Card within the Federation, issued by the special councilor department. With this card, he could basically borrow as much as he wanted, with the government covering it all...
