Seeing how pitiful Na'er looked, Ya Li could not bear it and said, "Na'er, this should be a control soul skill. Try to break free."
Na'er stopped crying and hurriedly activated her soul power to resist. Yet, to her surprise, she discovered that this seemed to be a power on the rule level.
Even with her Silver Dragon King Half-Body's power and her soul power resisting it, it took her a full minute to break through the control.
Her silver eyes turned toward Li Jinsheng, her face already brimming with fury. This was absolutely not human—how could a human do something so beastly?!
The girl bared her teeth at the boy and shouted angrily, "Your soul skill is too hateful! It actually deprived me of my sense of taste! Aaahhh!!!"
Hearing Na'er's pleasant screams, Gu Yue was instantly invigorated. Who would have thought that by sheer luck, she had found Na'er's nemesis!
Serves you right for being so greedy! Without your sense of taste, let's see how you keep eating!
Ya Li's gaze remained gentle as she lightly stroked Na'er's little head. Since no real harm had been done, she could not really say anything.
Leng Yaozhu stepped forward. "They're all children. It's normal for them to squabble." Then she quietly said to the boy beside her, "Li Jinsheng, hurry up and apologize to Na'er."
The boy nodded and held out a skewer of grilled squid temptingly. "Na'er, I'm sorry. Don't be angry anymore!"
Na'er's nose twitched, though anger still flashed in her eyes. A mere skewer of squid wanted to tempt her, Na'er? Who was he looking down on?!
Seeing that Na'er remained unmoved, Li Jinsheng raised the stakes and held out another five skewers. This time, Na'er's gaze lingered on the squid for a moment before she immediately turned her head away, hiding her expression.
At that moment, Ya Li found herself worrying about Na'er's future. This child seemed especially easy to fool.
When Li Jinsheng handed over half of his squid skewers, Na'er reluctantly turned around and snatched the bundle of skewers in one go. Her eyes shone as she stared at the grilled squid, then she said fiercely, "I'll reluctantly forgive you this time!"
Seeing Na'er like this, Gu Yue leaned close to her ear and whispered, "So you have a nemesis too! Now I have a way to make things difficult for you as well!"
"Hmph!" Na'er snorted and ignored Gu Yue. But Li Jinsheng's image had already been deeply etched into her dragon heart.
The impression was absolute and unforgettable!
At this moment, both Gu Yue and Na'er reached the same conclusion: Li Jinsheng was only beginning to resemble a human. Calling this thing a person was already rather forced.
Ya Li looked at Li Jinsheng and asked gently, "Little one, what is your Martial Soul? And what was that soul skill just now?"
Li Jinsheng had originally wanted to call her big sister, but after glancing at the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo shooting him a fierce look, he made his tone as natural as possible. "Hello, Auntie. My Martial Soul is the Life Element. Its soul skill effect is depriving one of the five senses."
"I see. No wonder I sensed such surging life force." Ya Li nodded and looked at Leng Yaozhu again. "You really did find two excellent successors!"
"What, are you jealous?" Leng Yaozhu crossed her arms, looking thoroughly pleased with herself.
"No." Ya Li smiled calmly, her gentle gaze resting on Na'er as though she were looking at her own daughter.
Meanwhile, Gu Yue and Li Jinsheng also sat down to order food. Even their appetites combined could not rival Na'er's alone.
The two naturally sampled the food. Though Ya Li and Leng Yaozhu were love rivals, there had never been any comparison in Yun Ming's heart.
Leng Yaozhu had lost completely and utterly.
Na'er, meanwhile, got acquainted with Li Jinsheng. Their gazes met, and Na'er spoke first. "Your name is Li Jinsheng, right?"
"That's right! Isn't my name super cool?" The boy's smile was full of confidence. Now that he had some fighting ability, and power often brought people absolute confidence.
Na'er's silver eyes narrowed as she sized up the boy across from her. She had to admit that he really did look very much like a human! Although they usually said she was dumb, she was not dumb at all. Most of the time, she was a perfect existence of both beauty and intelligence.
I could tell at a glance that you weren't human!!!
Who knew which backwater corner Gu Yue had dug this thing out of.
"Couldn't tell! I'll reluctantly help you finish some more of your grilled squid." In an instant, her gaze locked onto the remaining small portion of squid.
With the speed of an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, the squid vanished without a trace in an instant.
Seeing this, Li Jinsheng began snatching Na'er's chicken fork bones. What adult would get angry with a child? But he was only seven now! He was at the age where he could do bad things!
A person could not possess both childhood and the feelings of childhood at the same time, but in that instant, Li Jinsheng found his childhood again—and possessed the feelings of childhood as well.
"Don't steal my chicken fork bones! They all belong to Na'er!"
"Why didn't you say that when you stole my squid?"
"That was your apology gift to me!"
Watching the two little brats bicker, Gu Yue smiled helplessly.
Leng Yaozhu and Ya Li also stopped chatting and looked at the two children, faint smiles in their eyes.
As night deepened, the neon lights on the Snack Street gradually dimmed. Only then did several people realize how late it had gotten. Ya Li gently wiped the grease from Na'er's mouth, stood up, and said, "It's getting late. We should head back too! See you next time!"
Na'er glanced back at Gu Yue, then let her gaze rest on Li Jinsheng for a moment before following Ya Li toward Sea God Island.
Leng Yaozhu also rose. "I should be going too!" She turned and left, with Li Jinsheng and Gu Yue quickly following behind her.
After traveling for some time, they finally arrived at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
Li Jinsheng had seen the towering structure from afar before, but now that he looked up at it, its grandeur was even more breathtaking.
Looking up, it felt as though he could not see its peak at a glance. The upper half of the Spirit Pagoda appeared and disappeared amid the clouds. Its body possessed a strange texture, as if it itself were nurturing something.
Compared to the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy was more independent and self-contained. Aside from the area occupied by Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, nearly all of Shrek City was controlled by Shrek Academy.
As they entered the main hall, Li Jinsheng looked around. Both the enormous dome and the walls were covered in murals. None of the murals here were large, yet each recorded a long and ancient story.
They were all legends of the Spirit Ice Douluo. But this story actually had another name: God King Dog Training Diary!
Leng Yaozhu directly led the two onto a Red Elevator. This was an elevator reserved for Spirit Pagoda's upper ranks, and with her status, bringing two children onto it was more than easy.
The elevator ascended for a full two minutes before its doors finally opened again.
The three of them finally arrived at Leng Yaozhu's Exclusive Floor. As they approached the windows, the first thing they saw was a vast Sea of Clouds. Mist drifted through the air, and Shrek City could faintly be seen below.
"Stop being so amazed. You'll be living on this floor from now on. I've already finished reviewing your files from the East Sea Spirit Pagoda!" Leng Yaozhu turned around with a mild smile on her face, but her words were ice-cold. "Starting tomorrow, I'll train you properly."
"Especially you, Li Jinsheng. I'll give you some special training!"
