Na'er: Better Kill Him Now

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue and said calmly, "Now that things are clear, let's go back."

Unexpectedly, Gu Yue shook her head. "I have some things to attend to, you should go back first."

Although the two had a very close relationship, Huo Yuhao always maintained a sense of propriety.

He wouldn't pry into things like this; he simply said, "Then I'll head back now."

"Um!"

Gu Yue smiled and nodded.

Huo Yuhao then turned around and walked back the way he came.

However, after he turned around, the gentle smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn and complex expression.

His brows furrowed slightly, his lips pressed into a thin line, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly.

He figured out Gu Yue's "identity," but didn't dare to ask any further questions.

He was afraid to hear the answer he didn't want to hear; he was afraid that Gu Yue would say that one day they might be on opposite sides.

A hint of guilt lingered in his eyes; after all, he had lied to Gu Yue and concealed his true identity.

He told her he was a descendant of the Spirit Ice Douluo, but he didn't tell her that he was the Spirit Ice Douluo himself.

But this was something he had no choice but to do; this secret cannot be revealed yet.

At this moment, Gu Yue's expression changed as she watched Huo Yuhao's retreating figure.

A rare hint of gentleness vanished from her face like the receding tide, replaced by her usual coldness.

Gu Yue sighed, her voice heavy with an indescribable weight.

Those beautiful purple eyes now held a hint of apology.

She lied too; she concealed her identity and her purpose, but she had no choice.

As the Silver Dragon King, and the supreme leader of the Soul Beast Clan, she had to do this for the future of the Soul Beast Clan!

The thought of Huo Yuhao standing in her way during a future war against humanity filled her with irritation.

"Our Silver Dragon King seems to be in a very unstable emotional state."

A voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of mockery, which startled Gu Yue instinctively.

Her body stiffened slightly, and a hint of wariness flashed in her purple eyes.

But upon recognizing the voice, she instantly relaxed.

She turned around and saw a beautiful girl with silver hair—it was Na'er!

She stood in the shade of a tree not far away, sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling on her, dappled light and shadow dancing on her face.

Gu Yue frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Na'er, didn't take it to heart and walked over, smiling, "We're one, don't always talk so fiercely!"

Seeing that Gu Yue remained silent, her purple eyes coldly fixed on her, Na'er asked again, "What? Now that you're in love with a human, you can't bring yourself to do it? Don't forget who you are!"

Gu Yue's expression darkened. When she transformed, she was the main body.

Being "taught a lesson" by one-third of her own actions always stirred up a nameless anger within her.

She looked at Na'er and snorted, "I have my own plans."

Na'er's smile vanished instantly, and her delicate face became unusually serious.

His originally silver pupils instantly transformed into golden vertical pupils, radiating a chilling aura of power.

The aura of the Golden Dragon King flashed across her body and disappeared in an instant, seemingly reminding Gu Yue that she was no longer the Na'er she once was.

"Huo Yuhao's talent is unprecedented; if he grows up, he will definitely be the biggest obstacle to our grand plan."

Na'er's voice was slightly cold, carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Her gaze sharpened, a cold glint flashing in her golden vertical pupils. "I think it's better to nip him in the bud before he grows up, so you won't have to worry about it later!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yue's eyes; she couldn't believe such words were coming from Na'er's mouth.

After all, my previous impression of this "one-third" was that he was brainless and only knew how to eat and play all day.

Could it be due to the influence of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline?

That force changed her mind?

Gu Yue glanced at Na'er, a warning glint in her purple eyes.

She said in a deep, authoritative voice, "Don't do anything rash. I have my own plan."

"Yuhao doesn't harbor much ill will towards Soul Beast, and he might be able to be used by us in the future."

When Gu Yue said those words, she didn't know if she truly meant it or if it was just to protect Huo Yuhao.

My mind is in complete turmoil.

The madness on Na'er's face vanished, and her golden vertical pupils returned to their silver color.

Her delicate little face returned to its usual harmless appearance.

She shrugged. "Whatever you say, it's all up to you anyway!"

That day's events were like a brief interlude, but they left an indelible mark on both of their hearts.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue's relationship did not seem to become distant. To outsiders, they were still inseparable, still chatting and laughing, just like always.

But only the two of them knew that things were different now.

Both of them felt guilty and became very cautious around each other.

They tacitly chose not to think about the future, cherishing every moment they spent together in the present.

It was another afternoon, and the sky was rather gloomy, with low-hanging leaden clouds that looked like it was about to rain.

Huo Yuhao, who had just finished his cultivation, saw Gu Yue and Na'er as soon as he stepped outside.

The two stood side by side in the corridor, one as aloof as frost, the other as lively as fire.

Na'er looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Don't always be so busy cultivating, today I'll take you to Sea God Island for a look around!"

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Don't Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan always say they want to go see Sea God Island? What about them?"

Of the students from Class Zero, only Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan hadn't been to Sea God Island.

This core area of the Shrek Academy filled them with curiosity.

They mentioned more than once that they wanted to see the legendary Golden Tree and the Sea God Pavilion.

Given Na'er's status, bringing a few Outer Court students into Sea God Island would naturally not be a problem.

She is Yun Ming's Personal Disciple and the "little tyrant" of Sea God Island.

Na'er held her head high. "Of course I haven't forgotten them. I came to find you first. I know where they are. Come with me."

After saying that, she turned and walked away, her silver ponytail swaying gently behind her.

Na'er walked in front, with Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao following behind her.

The three walked through the campus, passing the teaching buildings, crossing the playground, and walking along the tree-lined path, from the training area all the way to the dormitory area.

The surrounding scenery changed from a spacious Training Ground to dense buildings, and from bustling crowds to quiet courtyards.

But before Na'er could even reach her "destination," a figure rushed over—it was none other than Xu Xiaoyan!

Her hair was a little messy, her face was full of anxiety, and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.

When she saw Gu Yue and his group, it was as if she had seen saviors; her eyes lit up instantly.

She quickly changed direction and rushed towards them.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's flustered appearance, they all knew that something had happened.

The three of them instantly sped up, their feet barely touching the ground, and rushed towards Xu Xiaoyan's direction.

As soon as they met up, Xu Xiaoyan said, "Hurry, Xie Xie is in danger!"
