Big Eater Na'er, The Importance of Background

Sea God Island.

Ya Li led Na'er out of the bathroom by the hand.

Glistening droplets still clung to Na'er's short silver hair, while a rosy flush from the blood rushing beneath her skin colored her fair little face.

Like a crimson hibiscus blooming amid a winter sky full of snow.

She had changed into a little princess dress Ya Li had someone bring over.

With her crisp, adorable manner and that exquisitely beautiful little face, she looked like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.

"Na'er is a poor child. She has no family, so from today onward, she'll be living with us."

Ya Li gently stroked Na'er's little head, her heart full of pity.

From their conversation while Ya Li had helped Na'er bathe in the bathroom, Ya Li had already learned of the silver-haired little girl's "background."

No father, no mother, wandering alone.

Na'er's description of her past immediately made Holy Spirit Yali, who was already exceptionally compassionate, ache for her.

"Xiao Luo, Na'er will be your little sister from now on. You must take good care of her."

Ya Li spoke softly.

Did she really need him to take care of her?

Ling Luo, who had already guessed that Na'er had most likely not lost her memories, rolled his eyes inwardly.

However, he did not reveal what he was thinking. Instead, he nodded in response to his sister's words.

"Don't worry, sister. I understand."

"Little Sister Na'er, please take care of me from now on."

Ling Luo smiled and reached out to pat Na'er's little head.

Making such a gesture after knowing that this girl before him might not have lost her memories gave him a strangely exhilarating feeling.

"Mm~"

Na'er puffed out her cheeks, quite displeased with the way the person in front of her treated her like a child.

Though she was the Silver Dragon King's split soul, and her soul could indeed be considered immature.

She still possessed the Silver Dragon King's memories, after all. Naturally, she was displeased by a little boy patting her head.

For the sake of you being my target, This King will endure it for now.

This grudge, This King will remember!

Though she did not actually hate it all that much...

Na'er secretly thought to herself, making the first entry in her little notebook since arriving in the human world.

"Na'er must be starving after wandering outside, right?"

"Hasn't the food already been delivered? Come and eat with us."

Yun Ming's voice rang out.

Food!

The moment she heard Yun Ming's words, Na'er's eyes lit up, and all those little schemes in her mind were immediately tossed to the back of her head.

A gurgling sound came from her flat little stomach.

Meeting Ling Luo had indeed been part of Na'er's own plan.

She had followed the aura on Ling Luo's body to Shrek City.

But her wandering was not a lie.

There were many Titled Douluo in Shrek City. Worried that being noticed by the humans' Titled Douluo would cause her plan to fail, Na'er had not brought any fierce beasts to protect her.

She had come to Shrek City alone.

And besides...

She had not brought any money.

That was right, she had not brought any money.

Perhaps because the fierce beasts had grown accustomed to life in the Star Dou Great Forest and had never used Gold Soul Coins, none of them had realized this.

Thus, after entering the human world, Na'er had not eaten a single thing because she had no money.

Why had she been sitting in that alley?

First, because she had sensed Ling Luo's aura there. Second, because she was simply too hungry and no longer wanted to walk.

After all, Na'er was no longer the god-level Silver Dragon King at her peak.

Right now, she was really just a little girl with some special methods and a bit of Soul Power!

People needed food to survive. Even an incarnation of the Silver Dragon King's split soul could starve to death!

Oh, no. Starve to dragon death.

So the moment she heard Yun Ming say there was food, Na'er's mind immediately stopped worrying about anything else.

Right now, she just wanted to properly reward her starving little stomach!

The quality of the meal Yun Ming had prepared was naturally beyond question.

It had all been made by Shrek Academy's finest chefs, using precious and expensive ingredients.

Not only was it highly nutritious, but it was also perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Holding her chopsticks, Na'er eagerly picked up a beautifully prepared piece of Fire Cloud Chili Stir-fried Meat and put it into her mouth.

Feeling the long-awaited impact on her taste buds, Na'er nearly burst into tears.

Delicious!

Without pausing for even a moment, Na'er's cheeks were still puffed out, yet her hands never stopped moving.

Seeing Na'er wolfing down her food, Ya Li only assumed that she had spent too long going hungry while living on the streets, and softly reminded her:

"Slow down, Na'er. There's plenty here. You can eat as much as you want."

Na'er nodded, but her pace did not slow in the slightest.

Seeing this, Ya Li merely smiled indulgently and said nothing more.

Although suddenly overeating large amounts of highly nutritious food could affect a Soul Master's body, with her, the continent's number one healing-type Titled Douluo, present, nothing would go wrong.

But soon, the smile on Ya Li's face changed.

Even Yun Ming beside her revealed a stunned expression.

Na'er sat in her chair, rubbing her flat stomach with her little hand. Her purple eyes looked at Ya Li and Yun Ming as she said pitifully:

"Teacher, Teacher's Wife, I'm still a little hungry..."

This...

Looking at the completely empty dishes on the table, then at Na'er's flat belly, the two peak experts fell silent in unspoken agreement.

If they had not witnessed the entire process themselves, they truly would have found it hard to believe that a little girl could possess such an appetite.

One had to know that the food Yun Ming had prepared was no ordinary fare.

Even the rice was high-quality Spirit Rice packed with nutritional value.

An ordinary Soul Elder would be completely full after a bowl of rice and a little of the prepared dishes.

Yet Na'er had forcibly finished all of it by herself, and...

She was actually still hungry?!

Even Ya Li, who had already known that the power of Na'er's blood and qi far surpassed that of ordinary people, had not expected the girl's appetite to be this outrageous.

Only Ling Luo, who had known Na'er's identity from the very beginning, found it unsurprising.

Noticing Yun Ming and Ya Li's gazes, Na'er's little face reddened.

"Did Na'er eat too much...?"

Na'er's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"No. As long as Na'er likes it, it's fine. Teacher will have someone make more and bring it over."

Yun Ming chuckled and waved his hand.

Na'er's appetite was indeed astonishing.

But it was nowhere near enough to make Yun Ming, the Sea God Pavilion Master, unable to afford it.

Across the entire Soul Master World, there were only a handful of people wealthier than Yun Ming.

That was the benefit of having a top-tier backing.

Ling Luo could easily obtain a top-grade thousand-year Soul Spirit.

Na'er would never have to worry about food, either.

Unlike Tang Wulin in the Original Work.

His family had already been stretched thin trying to satisfy his enormous appetite caused by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

They could not even afford a suitable hundred-year Soul Spirit.

Of course, that did not mean Tang Wulin had no backing. After all, he was the son of a God King, and God King Tang had still left contingencies behind for him.

It was just a pity that Tang San enjoyed creating difficulties for the younger generation.

Tang Wulin had it fairly good. Although he suffered miserably in the Original Work, much of it was not deliberately caused by God King Tang.

By comparison, Huo Gua during the second Soul Land era truly suffered quite a bit because of God King Tang.
