"Shimu, I want that!" The silver-haired girl pointed at a stall selling Chicken Fork Bones on Snack Street.

"Alright!" The black-haired woman nodded and led the exquisitely adorable little girl toward the stall. Her captivating appearance drew quite a few men to turn and stare.

But upon recognizing her identity, they quickly looked away. She was Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, hailed as the kindest and most beautiful woman on the entire continent.

She was also the wife of Yun Ming, the strongest person on Douluo Continent. Who would dare entertain any filthy thoughts about her?

And the one beside Ya Li was none other than another three-tenths of the Silver Dragon King's split body—Na'er. With silver hair and silver eyes, she gave off an otherworldly air.

Before long, Na'er was happily devouring the delicious Chicken Fork Bones, and her lofty, ethereal bearing had completely vanished.

Ya Li stroked Na'er's little head and said, "Girls shouldn't eat so messily. No one's going to steal it from you."

Na'er said nothing and simply kept gnawing on the Chicken Fork Bones. She did not really understand why she had been split off either. At the time, it seemed that some force had affected her transformation into human form. As for the reason, even with the Silver Dragon King's astonishing wisdom, she had no idea!

Ya Li's gaze was gentle, and she radiated maternal warmth. Ever since Yun Ming had brought this child back, she had treated her as her own daughter.

She had once burned away her life force to save patients during a great plague. In the end, she had overdrawn her vitality and damaged her body, leaving her unable to have a child of her own with Yun Ming.

Many years ago, Ya Li had even told Yun Ming that she hoped he would take another wife, or even several. With such exceptional genes, how could he leave behind no inheritance?

But Yun Ming had refused. He had only told her that his heart was small and had room for no one but her.

Whenever Ya Li thought of this, she always felt deeply saddened. Saddened that she could not bear a child for the man who loved her so dearly, and whom she loved just as dearly.

Na'er had no idea what her shimu was thinking and continued stuffing herself. The food of the human world was truly evil—it all ought to be wiped out inside her stomach.

Smack, smack...

Meanwhile, Leng Yaozhu's Mecha slowly landed outside Shrek City. Shrek City had a no-fly rule, and even the Spirit Pagoda had to obey it. The Mecha could only be left helplessly in the hangar outside the Spirit Pagoda, though it was regularly maintained by dedicated personnel, so there was no need to worry about dust gathering on it.

"Let's enter the city first. From now on, you'll be living in Shrek City for a long time, so you need to learn your way around first." Leng Yaozhu led the two of them toward the city.

Gu Yue was already thoroughly familiar with Shrek City. Having lived beside it for so many years, how could she possibly not know what it looked like?

But as Li Jinsheng took in the scale of Shrek City, he could not help but sigh. It was as though he could see a future filled with moving "fireworks."

Shrek City was enclosed by towering metal walls, with patrol squads stationed along them. Every member wore the emblem of Shrek Academy on their uniforms. This was the garrison force belonging exclusively to Shrek Academy.

"What is it, Li Jinsheng?" Gu Yue urged when she saw the boy stop walking.

"Nothing. It's my first time seeing such a huge city. I'm a little shocked!" Li Jinsheng looked at Shrek City, which had the bearing of a nation within a nation, and could not help admiring the Federation's patience.

"Let's go! You'll be able to see this every day from now on!"

Li Jinsheng withdrew his gaze and followed behind Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue into the city. He knew that Shrek City was still relatively safe at present—perhaps the safest city on Douluo Continent. Of the four great powers on Douluo Continent, aside from the Federation's War God Hall, the headquarters of the other three—Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Spirit Pagoda—were all located here.

The three walked slowly along. When they passed near Snack Street, Leng Yaozhu spotted her love rival, Ya Li, at a glance. That woman even had a little girl with her.

Gu Yue also spotted Na'er with her sharp eyes. The Silver Dragon King's left and right halves met once more, and their gazes locked together as if by mutual understanding.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze met Ya Li's as well. When love rivals met, their eyes burned with hostility.

Li Jinsheng keenly sensed that something was wrong. He took a step back, placing the women in front of him and leaving the battlefield to the four of them. He had no desire to suffer this undeserved disaster.

Leng Yaozhu stepped forward, and Ya Li gave her a gentle smile. "Your Excellency Sky Phoenix."

"Sister Yali, when did you become so formal with me?" Leng Yaozhu approached with a smile, then looked at the silver-haired girl beside her. "Sister Yali, who is this child?"

"Brother Yun's disciple, Na'er. I'm her shimu!" Ya Li stressed the final two words heavily, as though showing off.

Heavenly Phoenix Douluo gave an awkward smile. "I see! I've taken in an excellent disciple too—Gu Yue. She's level seventeen now." Her gaze shifted behind her, only to find Gu Yue staring at Na'er as well. Their eyes met in midair, as though they had known each other for a long time and were silently communicating something.

Yet at a time like this, Li Jinsheng had actually chosen to go buy snacks.

Once they returned to the Spirit Pagoda, she would definitely have to properly discipline him. This attitude of acting as though it had nothing to do with him had to change!

How could a boy hide behind girls?

At that moment, the boy felt a chill run down his spine, as though something bad was about to happen. He returned carrying fifty or sixty Squid Skewers, only to find that although the tension was still high, the atmosphere seemed a little off.

Why was everyone looking at him? Had he committed some unforgivable crime? He gave an awkward smile. "Gu Yue, do you want some too?"

Gu Yue snatched a squid skewer from Li Jinsheng's hand and said speechlessly, "You idiot..."

"Your friend isn't much better either!" Na'er mocked ruthlessly.

"You can criticize Gu Yue, but do you have to drag me into it?" Li Jinsheng smiled helplessly, then turned to Gu Yue and asked, "Want me to teach her a lesson for you?"

"You can beat her?!" Gu Yue was puzzled, but seeing Li Jinsheng's confident expression, she said, "Show me, then. You're only an auxiliary Soul Master anyway!"

"An auxiliary Soul Master dreaming of defeating me!" Na'er sneered and continued her great undertaking of eliminating the Chicken Fork Bones.

Li Jinsheng admitted that he might not be stronger than Na'er in combat, especially with her Silver Dragon Spear, but his ability naturally countered hers.

Did she know how powerful a predator's suppression over its prey could be? The purple Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed, and a jade-green streak of light instantly floated out from his left palm.

Sense Stripping: Taste Stripping!

Seeing that she had been struck by this inexplicable Soul Skill, Na'er did not feel the slightest change in herself. "Your Soul Skill isn't much either!"

In that instant, Ya Li sensed the surging life force within the boy, but seeing what appeared to be an auxiliary Soul Skill, she could not help wondering about its effect.

Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue, however, understood what Li Jinsheng had stripped away. It definitely was not sight or hearing, leaving only smell, taste, and touch. At this moment, taste was clearly the most suitable choice!

Just as they had expected, when Na'er bit into another Chicken Fork Bone, tears began streaming down her face uncontrollably. This was unprecedented suppression.

It hurt! It hurt so much!

"Shimu! I can't taste anything anymore!"
