Hostility?

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

"Mm, indeed." Gu You nodded solemnly.

"We should talk about serious matters." Ya Li folded her arms over her chest. Na'er hid behind her, not even daring to peek out with half an eye this time.

"Alright." At some point, Gu You had produced a stool. He sat upon it with his chest held straight, his round eyes fixed on Ya Li.

"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 all of history. Especially the second soul ring you added: its mental attack is extremely powerful, and it causes the most lethal kind of mental trauma. All of that is 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 a wronged soul. Though its aura is faint, it can still easily lead to misunderstandings."

Gu You froze. What wronged soul? He had never harmed anyone, had he?

Seeing Gu You's bewildered expression, Ya Li smiled slightly. "Release your soul rings and manifest your soul spirit. Let me have a look."

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

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

A bright silver spear appeared in the girl's hand, a purple soul ring gleaming around her. Delicate dragon patterns were carved upon the spear, which radiated 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 entire body, and when he raised his head to look at Na'er, his gaze had turned bloodthirsty.

Ya Li naturally noticed 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 Sky-Soaring Holy Spirit Douluo had become her foster 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 what was the background of this boy before her? In her memories, there had never been a dragon species with this kind of martial soul.

So it was hostility, Ya Li thought to herself. Simply put, Gu You's martial soul and Na'er's martial soul bore a grudge against one another. Even if that grudge had not originally been caused by the two of them, the inherited will was unavoidable.

Gu You clutched his head in pain. The image of two Giant Dragons battling once again appeared before him. He felt his martial soul tremble, 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 filled with 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 this hostility is quite simple. Stay close while cultivating your martial souls for an extended period. If it erupts, I'll suppress it. Once both sides become familiar with each other's auras, it should disappear." Ya Li rested her chin in her hands, her gaze calm.

"It would be best if it can be resolved... Oh, right, Aunt Ya Li, I think I know what's going on with the wronged soul." Gu You spoke after some thought.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"My first soul spirit was a Tyrant Dragon of the Sub-Dragon Species. By now, this kind of Soul Beast should have gone extinct, but... my master still had some defective ten-year specimens. Their genes had been 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 looked at him with curiosity. What had he seen?

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

Ya Li frowned. Na'er's gaze darkened, and without realizing it, she had clenched both hands into fists.

Damnable humans...

"No wonder. That was resentment unique to a soul spirit. I was wondering why it felt so strange—so there was another reason behind it. That Spirit Pagoda really is something! They'll do any kind of experiment for profit. But none of that is important. What matters is that we've finally reunited, isn't that right?" Ya Li glanced reproachfully at Gu You.

"Ah! Right, right, reunion 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. Reunion really was important, though he had yet to reunite with them. Still, before his eyes, there truly was a reunion...

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

Inside the Shrek City Grand Hotel, Ya Li stared blankly at Na'er, who was frantically stuffing herself with food. She eats that much? Would she really not gain weight?

Gu You had lost his appetite as well. This was the first time he had witnessed the appetite required by pure bloodline power. She ate more than ten times—no, more than eight times—as much as he did. Let's see who dared say he could eat a lot in the future.

Na'er's eyes looked rather vacant as she ate, making her seem not particularly clever. Hundred-year dragon fish tendons, hundred-year blood steak... all kinds of heavenly treasures and spiritual foods were continuously sent into her mouth. It was quite a sight.

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

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

"How much?" Ya Li asked confidently.

"Five million Federation Coins!"

"Alright! Wait, what? How much?" Something was wrong with Ya Li's expression. 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 status alone, she could obtain almost anything she wanted. But that was on the condition that the other party recognized her. How could an ordinary restaurant employee recognize her?

"Is there perhaps not enough money? B—" 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 his three years of forging, he occasionally produced finished forged items and inevitably sold some of them, earning a bit of money. There was nearly ten million on this card. Of course, he could not have earned that much by himself; part of the money had been deposited as aid from the federal government. At the same time, this card was also the rarest red soul-forged special card within the Federation, issued by the special council department. With this card, one could basically borrow however much money one wanted, with the government covering it all...
