Gu Yue Welcomes a Martial Aunt

"If you like him, then isn't that all that matters?"

"Na'er, there's no need to listen to A-Yue. Let her handle the career side of things; you should just enjoy your life to the fullest. A-Jiu will help you."

In Su Jiu's view, the original plot of Na'er going to Shrek Academy to become Yun Ming's disciple held absolutely no world-shattering significance.

Of course, from the perspective of Gu Yuena, it served no purpose at all.

Instead, it only benefited Tang Wulin, allowing him to successfully make contact with Ya Li and become her godson. Only then did he truly enter the field of vision of Shrek Academy's leadership, paving the way for his future career to soar.

One can only say that the "freebie dragon" remains a freebie online.

"Na'er, what are you hesitating for?"

"Ac-actually, it's nothing. It's just... I feel a bit embarrassed to return to Su Jiu's side like this..."

Na'er bit her lip, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt as she lowered her head slightly. The girl was clearly shy.

It's no wonder Na'er became a "loser" in the original work; to be honest, Gu Yuena's humanity is just too... hesitant and incompetent.

"Na'er, I've already called Su Jiu for you. He'll be here in a moment... no, he's already here."

"Huh???"

Na'er was slightly stunned. Before A-Jiu's voice had even faded, a warm and familiar embrace pulled her in. Na'er felt her body go soft, all her strength draining away, and she found herself willingly choosing to drown in this tenderness.

"Hello there, Na'er, A-Jiu."

"Hello, Su Jiu."

Na'er slowly turned around, gently wrapping her arms around Su Jiu's waist and pressing her small face against him. The familiar scent lingered at the tip of her nose, and the joy in her heart spread uncontrollably. This feeling was truly wonderful.

"Hello, Brother Su."

Su Jiu raised a hand to gently stroke Na'er's little head, but his gaze fell upon the handsome man and beautiful woman opposite them, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Damn it, one day I'll snipe you.

"A pleasure, a pleasure. It seems it's been three years since we last parted, Pavilion Master Yun and His Holiness of the Holy Spirit."

"Leng Wuduan, haven't you already gone to the Abyss Battlefield? Why are you still..."

Yun Ming suddenly felt his words were somewhat redundant. In their previous battles, he had personally experienced that Su Jiu's martial soul and Four-Word Battle Armor could operate independently of his body, with combat power reaching the limit!

Three years had passed; it was likely only stronger, not weaker!

The situation was indeed as Yun Ming suspected. The Phantom Night Wanderer, led by A-Qi, walked the Abyss Battlefield daily with an attitude of absolute rationality. Relying on meticulous and brilliant tactical layouts, coupled with an unparalleled ability to secure kills, it remained invincible in countless battles, large and small, and repeatedly achieved glorious military exploits.

No fewer than ten Abyss Kings, and even Emperors, had fallen by its hand.

Its merit accumulation rose like a rocket, and the status of the Blood God Battalion rose accordingly. It was only one final step away from the unique position of Blood One.

A-Qi had no human physiological needs, and its daily routine was always a fixed triangle.

The laboratory, the Abyss Battlefield, and the council hall—these three things occupied all of its time.

It rarely interacted with the outside world, was aloof and taciturn, and never formed cliques. Even toward Chen Xinjie, it remained entirely disdainful and had never once paid him any mind.

It was, quite simply, Su Jiu's most self-motivated worker.

"Pavilion Master Yun, my current merits are about to surpass those of Sect Master Cao of the Blood God, you know~ You should know what that means!"

Su Jiu's implication was clear: even if I am standing here, the contributions I make are no less, so stop lecturing me with your grand principles.

"My little child bride has rarely snuck out from her maiden home to find me, and she's hungry. I have no time today; let's chat another day."

With that, Su Jiu turned and left with Na'er.

Standing where they were, Yun Ming and Ya Li suddenly lost that mysterious guidance.

Just moments ago, the two had been drawn by an inexplicable aura, following it all the way here, but the moment they saw Su Jiu, that profound connection dissipated without a trace.

A hint of faint loss quietly lingered in their hearts; in a trance, it felt as if they had lost something of immense importance.

Could the source of that guidance have been Leng Wuduan?

Yun Ming shook his head, thinking he must have gone a bit senile. Was there anything about him worth attracting him and Ya Li?

Could it be that little girl?

But the current situation was difficult to handle. Was he supposed to ask Su Jiu to stop and interrogate Na'er on the spot? If he did that, what if Su Jiu demanded to interrogate Ya Li on the spot in return?

This clearly involved someone else's private affairs; it was obviously looking for trouble where there was none. It was a difficult situation...

"Na'er, what do you want to eat? Your Brother Su will satisfy all your cravings today!"

Na'er pointed toward Sea God Snack Street, and Su Jiu instantly understood her little thoughts.

She wanted everything. Well, that was fine. She truly lived up to the appetite of the Silver Dragon King. The Leng Family could afford it.

"You little glutton, I didn't expect that not only did your martial soul awaken, but your appetite grew as well."

"Brother Su, is that not allowed? If so, then Na'er still won't..."

"No, no, no! I mean, Na'er, eat to your heart's content today. Your Brother Su is paying!"

"Mua~ Brother Su, you're the best! This is your reward!"

Na'er quietly stood on her tiptoes and planted a light, dragonfly-touch kiss on Su Jiu's cheek.

Su Jiu's old face flushed a bright red, and he muttered to himself, wondering why everyone loved taking advantage of him. Yet, the irrepressible smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true feelings; at the end of the day, he was more than happy to let them have their way with him.

"Remember to save some room, okay? Your Sister Leng took on a disciple today, and there will be even better food tonight."

"Heehee, okay!"

Na'er hugged Su Jiu's arm with one hand and pointed at the grilled squid ahead with the other, her smile never fading.

"Brother Su, I want to eat Inner Mongolia Deep Sea Squid..."

"Brother, I want to drink Little Snow Milk Tea..."

"Brother, I want to eat Soft Bone Rabbit head with cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass..."

"Brother, Na'er can't finish this, you help me eat it..."

"Na'er, since you're here this time, don't leave. I don't like a third time..."

"..."

"Okay!"

After a moment of silence, Na'er took a deep breath. The usual soft, innocent look in her eyes faded, replaced by a touch of solemnity and trepidation, as if she had been deliberating for a long time and finally reached a major decision.

She pursed her lips and stood on her tiptoes again, her small body straining upward, but even so, she was still a bit short and couldn't reach Su Jiu's ear.

Su Jiu took in her little movements, his heart stirred, and he bent his knees to crouch down, bringing his ear before her to quietly wait for the secret she held in her heart.

"I, I came here this time to be Brother Su's wife!"

The words hit Su Jiu like a tidal wave. His heart was in chaos, and this time it was his turn to blush. Na'er giggled.

"Haha, Brother Su, you're blushing! So cute!"

"Na'er, I'm taking that seriously. I'm really taking your words seriously!"

"Mm..."

That night, at the Leng Family courtyard.

When Leng Yaozhu led a young girl before Su Jiu, they saw:

Raven-black hair draped over her shoulders, her skin as cold and white as jade, her brows and eyes clear and aloof.

Her ink-colored eyes were deep and reserved, hiding an unrevealed, world-shaking wisdom. Her lips were set in a cool line, her figure tall and slender, and she carried an aura of cold, noble detachment.

But the next moment, both Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue were stunned.

Leng Yaozhu: So it was the younger sister who came!

Gu Yue: Why is Na'er here?!!!

"Sister Yaozhu, is this our grand-disciple? She has a great eye! Hello, I'm Su Jiu, your martial uncle."

Na'er poked her head out from behind Su Jiu, a cunning look in her eyes.

"Hello, I'm Na'er, Brother Su's child bride, your martial aunt. Please take care of me in the future!"

Gu Yue regretted choosing the Leng Family. Bearing seventy percent of the Silver Dragon King bloodline, she actually had to call Na'er martial aunt?

Na'er, you are too cunning, too much!

"H-hello, I'm Gu Yue. Please take care of me in the future."
