But Na'er Was Very Greedy

The special private rooms on the second floor of the Immortal Eater Pavilion used an extremely unusual type of Soul Guide Window.

Those outside could not see the scene within.

Normally, those inside could not see the view outside either.

However, with the flick of a switch, the people inside could use the special Soul Guide Window to take in the entire scene in the hall below.

Even sound could be transmitted one-way.

Two figures stood by the window, gazing down at the hall below.

Yuanen Yehui had personally gone to have the dishes prepared, leaving only Ling Luo and Na'er in the private room for the time being.

"Ling Luo, are those people special?"

Na'er asked softly, turning her little face toward Ling Luo beside her.

Yet her voice was faintly different from usual, as though she were concealing something.

Ling Luo withdrew his gaze from Tang Wulin and the others below and smiled faintly, giving an ambiguous answer.

"It's nothing. There's just someone interesting among them."

When he had entered the Immortal Eater Pavilion, Ling Luo's immense Spiritual Power had already allowed him to notice Tang Wulin and the other two.

Although he had never met Tang Wulin and the others before, he could sense Bloodline Power within Tang Wulin's body that did not match his cultivation, as well as the dragon's might hidden in his bloodline.

With those two signs, it was naturally possible to guess Tang Wulin's identity.

However, Ling Luo had merely taken brief notice of him and had not placed much importance on it.

Ling Luo naturally detested Tang Buddha, but he did not feel the same way toward Tang Wulin, the Soul Land III Protagonist.

He would not deliberately befriend him, but neither would he intentionally create trouble for him.

He had only paid a little attention because of his status as the protagonist of the Original Work.

But that was all.

His arrival had long since shifted the course of this world.

This era would belong only to him, and to no one else!

Ling Luo changed the subject, his voice carrying a hint of implication.

"On the other hand, Na'er, shouldn't you be sitting at the table with your chopsticks, eagerly waiting for the food to arrive at a time like this?"

"Why the sudden change in personality today?"

Na'er paused for an incredibly brief moment. "It's nothing. I just saw you looking this way and came over out of curiosity."

Na'er casually came up with a reason that sounded plausible enough.

Ling Luo glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze without saying anything further and returned to the dining table.

Na'er turned and sat down as well.

She lowered her little face, seemingly burdened by something on her mind.

That power could not be wrong. It was definitely the aura of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline!

Na'er thought to herself.

She had sensed the aura of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline on Tang Wulin.

Although she did not know why the Golden Dragon King's aura, which should have been in the God Realm, had appeared on a human, this was undoubtedly good news.

If she stripped this human of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and later reclaimed the Heart of the Dragon God, perhaps she could truly recreate the Dragon God's power from back then!

As for the consequences of forcibly stripping away someone's bloodline, Na'er did not care in the slightest.

She had indeed developed human emotions, but she still possessed the Silver Dragon King's indifference.

Other than the few people she cared about, such as Ling Luo, Na'er would not care whether anyone else lived or died.

It was not that she deliberately wanted to hide the truth from Ling Luo.

But regarding her identity, Na'er did not know how she should tell him.

She was afraid. Terrified.

The life she had lived these past years had already made her accustomed to relying on Ling Luo.

Thus, Na'er was anxious and uneasy, her heart restless and conflicted.

Hiding her identity made her feel guilty.

But confessing her identity to Ling Luo frightened her as well.

She feared that once Ling Luo learned her identity and found out that she had deliberately approached him with an ulterior motive from the very beginning, he would be disappointed in her and distance himself from her.

No matter how different her feelings had become from her original plan,

the fact remained that her motives at the beginning had been impure.

The aura of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline on Tang Wulin had made Na'er, who had grown accustomed to her identity as Na'er, realize once more that she was a divided soul of the Silver Dragon King.

Her thoughts were so tangled that, even during the wait for dishes to arrive—a moment that usually excited her most—she had lost all her eager anticipation.

"Everyone has their own secrets."

As though he had seen through Na'er's concerns, Ling Luo's clear voice slowly rang out.

Na'er raised her little face, and Ling Luo's handsome features were reflected in her eyes.

"It's perfectly normal for Na'er to have secrets of her own."

"It isn't a bad thing, and I won't deliberately pry into a girl's thoughts."

Na'er pressed her red lips together, her voice heavy.

"But what if the beginning of that secret was driven by self-interest? What if it was deception toward you?"

A slender hand gently rested on Na'er's little head.

Ling Luo did not answer. Instead, he asked a question in return.

"Then what about now?"

Na'er froze.

The Youth narrowed his starry eyes, his faint smile filled with affection.

"Is Na'er's deception now driven by self-interest?"

Na'er blankly shook her head.

"Then that's enough."

"Then Na'er is still my little sister."

"Ling Luo, you..." A misty sheen appeared in Na'er's beautiful eyes.

The knot in her heart gradually began to loosen.

A thousand words and countless tangled emotions surged together like rivers flowing into the sea.

This guy's unintentional tenderness could always precisely, perfectly touch the softest place in her heart.

In the end, Na'er said nothing. She merely nodded heavily, again and again.

Just a little sister...

But Na'er was very greedy...

Na'er suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, replacing them with a sweetness that welled up naturally.

As for the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, she did not want to concern herself with it anymore.

After returning, she would tell Gu Yue and let that woman figure something out!

After all, that had originally been their agreement.

Three years had passed.

That woman, Gu Yue, had failed to accomplish the goal they had agreed upon.

She had not won Ling Luo over.

Her fishing tactic of playing hard to get had completely become a laughable failure on paper.

By all rights, she should have left already and handed Ling Luo over to her completely.

That woman had gone back on her word. This sort of matter should be her task!

And Ling Luo...

He seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He seemed to know far more than she had imagined.

But just as Ling Luo had said earlier, he would not deliberately investigate her fate, and she did not intend to investigate his secrets either.

After all, the only person Na'er cared about now was Ling Luo himself.

The Ling Luo who bickered with her every day, yet indulged her in every way.

It had nothing to do with her initial self-interest, and nothing to do with his talent or anything special about him.

At that thought, Na'er felt as though her mind had suddenly cleared.

Her formerly heavy mood became cheerful as well.

That was right. This sort of matter should be left to that shameless Gu Yue.

What she, Na'er, should do was speed up her progress and rewrite her identity as his little sister as soon as possible.

Just like in those romance games.

At some special moment, she would finally express her feelings and achieve a thoroughly gorgeous transformation of identity,

win Ling Luo's heart, and unlock a special CG.

Then she would wrap her arms around Ling Luo's arm and give that pitiful loser, Gu Yue, a smug look with all the pride of his official girlfriend.

That was right, this was her destined future!

Na'er felt her fighting spirit soar.

The invincible Queen Na'er had returned!
