Na'er Is the Silver Dragon King? The Highest-Quality Reward Pool Activated

If Na'er could be bonded to the system...

Memories of every moment he had spent with Na'er immediately surfaced in his mind.

She had always been so gentle and considerate. No matter when he went looking for her, she was always there.

Her eyes seemed to hold no one but him.

Chen Fan clearly remembered one time when something went wrong during his cultivation. His Blood Qi surged, and he came down with a high fever.

Ning Rongrong came to take a look, but she only complained that the smell of medicine in the room was unpleasant. She stayed less than fifteen minutes before clamoring to go down the mountain to buy new jewelry.

He lay in bed, weak all over, with nothing but desolation in his heart.

It was Na'er.

Somehow, she had heard the news and run down from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Mountain all by herself.

By the time she returned, it was already late at night.

The little girl was panting from exhaustion, covered in mud and grass clippings. There was even a cut on the back of her fair, tender hand where a stone had scratched her.

Yet, as if presenting a treasure, she handed him a bundle of herbs and several fresh ingredients from her arms.

That night, she clumsily brewed medicine and cooked porridge for him.

The warmth of that bowl of porridge remained in Chen Fan's heart to this day.

A girl like her was better than that spoiled Princess Ning Rongrong by thousands, even tens of thousands of times!

Without hesitation, he gave the system an order in his mind.

"System, Bonding Target: Na'er!"

[Detecting target...]

[Target confirmed...]

It was here!

Chen Fan's fist clenched unconsciously.

But in the next second, a glaring red notification box suddenly popped up in his consciousness.

[Warning: Target does not meet the bonding conditions. Unable to establish Bonding Relationship.]

The anticipation on Chen Fan's face instantly froze.

It was as though his blood had stopped flowing at that moment.

He stared blankly at the line of scarlet text on the system panel. Only one word remained in his mind.

Huh?

The mountain wind blew past, sweeping up several fallen leaves.

Chen Fan stood frozen in place.

Unable to bond??

He looked at Na'er before him. Her purple eyes were filled with anticipation and shyness, and the pure affection within them was practically overflowing.

How could he reject her?

Chen Fan's Adam's apple bobbed, but he could not make a sound.

Was he supposed to tell her, "Sorry, your potential isn't good enough. My system doesn't think you're worthy"?

He could not say something so bastardly.

How badly would that hurt her?

At the thought of those purple eyes, which always gazed at him so gently, dimming because of a single sentence from him and even filling with tears, Chen Fan's heart suddenly clenched for no reason.

He remembered the days he had spent with Ning Rongrong.

Endless arguments, never-ending apologies, and that princess temper that could never be satisfied.

His cultivation progress had been slowed by all that bullshit by far more than a little.

Now that he had finally escaped that quagmire...

Was he supposed to find some so-called "high-potential" target for the system and go through all that scheming and emotional turmoil again?

He was tired.

Really tired.

Looking at Na'er's dustless face, a powerful weariness rose in Chen Fan's heart.

To hell with the system.

To hell with Soul Ring Years.

I'm done playing this game.

So what if my cultivation is a little slower?

Wouldn't having a girl who devoted herself to me with all her heart be better than anything else?

Chen Fan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Meeting Na'er's nervous yet expectant gaze, he solemnly nodded.

"Okay."

That single word made Na'er hold her breath.

Her beautiful purple eyes gradually widened. First, a trace of confusion flashed within them, then it was swallowed by wild joy.

"I agree." Chen Fan looked at her, a long-lost, heartfelt smile appearing on his face. "From now on, you're my girlfriend."

Na'er's eyes instantly reddened.

But she stubbornly held back her tears. She merely nodded hard, while the corners of her lips rose no matter how hard she tried to suppress them.

She stepped forward, lifted her face with a hint of pride, and spoke in a tone that was almost like an oath.

"Don't worry, I... I'm no worse than Ning Rongrong!"

The moment her words fell.

Na'er's body suddenly trembled slightly, and her eyes closed involuntarily.

In an instant.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

An indescribably terrifying pressure erupted from Na'er with a thunderous crash!

It was not Soul Power, nor was it Killing Intent. It was an absolute Monarch's Might born from the deepest depths of her bloodline, one that stood above all living things!

The mountain wind halted, and the drifting clouds froze.

Throughout the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, from the Titled Douluo above to the servant disciples below, every soul felt a shudder and submission arising from the level of life itself!

On the sect's Back Mountain, Sword Douluo Chen Xin abruptly opened his eyes. The Seven Kill Sword in his hand began to hum uncontrollably, letting out a fearful wail.

Elsewhere, Bone Douluo Gu Rong's Bone Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed him, yet he could not even move a single bone spike. He could only be pinned firmly in place!

"What... is this power?" Ning Fengzhi's face turned deathly pale as he stared in horror toward the mountain gate.

Chen Fan, standing at the center of that pressure, was completely dumbfounded.

The Crimson Scale Dragon Martial Soul within him roared madly. It was not a challenge, but the most primal and humble form of worship!

What the hell...

Chen Fan's mind went blank.

At that very moment, a succession of wildly popping system notifications completely detonated his sea of consciousness!

[Warning! An extraordinary Bonding Target has been detected!]

[Re-identifying target's identity... Identification successful!]

[Target: Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!]

[System overall assessment: High risk, extremely high returns! Strongly recommends that the Host establish a bond immediately!!!]

Silver... Silver Dragon King?

Gu Yuena?!

Chen Fan's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

He stared blankly at the stunning girl before him, her eyes closed and long hair fluttering without wind, feeling as though his entire worldview had been utterly overturned.

Na'er, who only ever gently called his name and clumsily cooked porridge for him...

Was the legendary Common Lord of the Soul Beast race, the Silver Dragon King?!

After a brief daze, immense ecstasy erupted from the depths of his heart like a volcano!

"Bond! Right now! Immediately! Bond her for me!!!"

Chen Fan roared in his heart.

[Command received... Establishing Bonding Relationship with target "Gu Yuena"...]

[Bonding successful!]

[System notification: The quality of the Bonding Target will directly affect the difficulty and rewards of system missions. The better the Bonding Target, the greater the Host's chance of receiving high-return missions.]

What a massive profit!

Chen Fan's heart pounded wildly with extreme excitement.

At the instant the bond was successfully established, that terrifying pressure that ruled over all things receded like a tide.

Na'er's long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was still somewhat confused, but even more than that, it held joy and reassurance from the bottom of her heart.

She looked at Chen Fan and spoke uncertainly.

"Chen Fan, I feel like... there seems to be something more between us."

It was a wonderfully strange connection, warm and intimate.

It made her unable to resist wanting to get a little closer to him.
