Goddess Illustrated Handbook, Kidnapping Na'er

Proud Arrival City.

Inside a luxurious mansion.

Seven-year-old Su Chen lay on a recliner, enjoying the feeding and pampering provided by several maids behind him.

"Young Master, the Eastsea is so vast, why did you come to such a godforsaken place?"

One maid asked curiously while kneading Su Chen's shoulders.

"Hmm, children's business. You adults should mind your own affairs."

Su Chen waved his hand, clearly too lazy to explain to these people.

"Giggle~ Very well, Young Master~"

Hearing this, the maids covered their mouths and chuckled, but they didn't press further.

Su Chen was naturally a transmigrator, having arrived in a second-rate family in Eastsea City. As a direct descendant, his status was noble.

Su Chen had displayed astonishing intelligence from a young age. He began handling family businesses at three, and within a mere two years, the assets in his hands far exceeded those of his uncles.

At six, Su Chen awakened the family's inherited martial soul—the Soul Suppressing Pagoda—with an Innate Soul Power of level 6. His talent was considered top-tier within the family, earning him significant investment.

Now seven, Su Chen was already a level 11 Spirit Master, possessing a century-old spirit soul.

Of course, when Su Chen awakened his martial soul at six, he also awakened a system—a camera.

Well, its true name was actually the Goddess Illustrated Handbook.

As long as he took photos of targets that met the handbook's criteria and recorded them, Su Chen could receive rewards.

Su Chen had photographed many beauties, but unfortunately, none were recognized by the system.

To be recognized as a "Goddess" by the system, one needed more than just high beauty; their talent, bloodline, and other factors all had to meet the standard.

Currently, it was the era of Douluo III, and the top-tier goddess was naturally Gu Yuena.

That was why Su Chen had come to Proud Arrival City to lie in wait for Na'er in advance.

Su Chen didn't feel like he was stealing Tang Wulin's thunder; on the contrary, he felt he was saving Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's life was truly too bitter; his entire existence was one of repeated torment.

First, he met Na'er, then Na'er left, dealing Tang Wulin ten thousand points of emotional damage.

Then his parents left, and Tang Wulin suffered another critical hit.

Later, he met Gu Yue, fell in love, separated, reconciled, separated, broke up, became mortal enemies, reconciled, died for love, was resurrected, broke up, reconciled...

It was just endless, agonizing back-and-forth.

After being tortured through this era, he was dragged out again ten thousand years later to be tormented further; it was simply too tragic to behold.

The key to all of this was Gu Yuena.

If not for Na'er and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin's suffering would have been reduced by at least ninety-eight percent.

I really am a good person~

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

"Young Master, there is a lead on the person you are looking for."

Just then, the voice of a guard came from outside the door.

"Where?"

Su Chen sat up immediately, his speech noticeably faster, revealing his inner urgency and joy.

"Near Red Mountain Academy, by the roadside. It's a little girl, and the features... are exactly as you described."

The guard added respectfully. He knew how many connections and resources the Young Master had utilized to find this silver-haired, purple-eyed little girl.

He had even gone so far as to come to this remote Proud Arrival City in person, paying a huge price to bribe the city lord and form a law enforcement team, all for the convenience of the search.

"Lead the way!" Su Chen rose abruptly without a moment's hesitation.

The streets on the outskirts of Red Mountain Academy were far less clean and prosperous than the area where Su Chen's mansion was located.

As dusk fell, there were few pedestrians on the road, making it appear somewhat desolate.

By the roadside, a tiny figure was curled up, sitting on the cold stone steps like an abandoned beast cub.

That rare short silver hair was indeed exceptionally conspicuous.

Only, at this moment, the beautiful silver hair was covered in dust, appearing somewhat dull.

Her little face was dirty, smeared with streaks of mud, making it impossible to see her original complexion.

But those eyes could not be hidden by the dust.

They were a pair of exceptionally clear purple eyes, like two of the purest amethysts.

"Hey, look over there, guys!"

A few punks dressed in sloppy, hooligan-style clothing sauntered over, one of them sharp-eyed enough to be immediately drawn to that flash of silver light.

"Yo, check out that hair color... rare, isn't it?"

Another leaned in closer, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of malice.

"You think this is some little alien brat that ran over from the western continent?"

The third youth stroked his chin, his voice dropping to a greedy, low murmur.

"Those folks at the underground black market love these rare goods. Must be worth a pretty penny, right?"

The leader of the group squeezed a hypocritical smile onto his face, crouched down, and leaned in toward the little girl.

"Hey, little sister, all alone here? Big brother will take you to get something tasty..."

He tried his best to soften his voice, but he couldn't hide the inherent sleaziness.

Upon hearing this, the little girl shook her head vigorously, her small body shrinking backward, her resistance clear and obvious.

"Damn it, you don't know what's good for you!"

The mask of gentleness on the youth's face vanished instantly, replaced by a vicious glare.

He shot a look at his companions.

The two youths beside him immediately stepped forward, blocking the view of passersby with their bodies to form a small circle of entrapment.

The youth hoisted the little girl onto his shoulder, intending to carry her off right then and there.

"Ah!"

The little girl let out a short, terrified cry.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, a sharp, childish shout rang out, startling the punks.

They turned around, instantly incensed.

Standing a few paces away was a little boy much shorter than them, glaring at them with fury.

The newcomer was none other than Tang Wulin.

"Damn it, where'd this little brat come from? Don't go sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!"

The hot-headed youth in the back, embarrassed and angry, raised his foot and kicked hard at the little boy's stomach.

"Ah!"

Tang Wulin hadn't expected such a ruthless strike; he was sent flying back over two meters, crashing heavily into the ground as dust billowed up.

"Bad guys! You bad guys! Let her go!"

Tang Wulin curled up on the ground in agony, but he gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain, and stubbornly climbed back to his feet.

"You little bastard, you're asking for death!"

One of them flipped his wrist, and a cold, gleaming dagger instantly appeared in his palm.

He pointed the blade viciously at Tang Wulin, his face twisted in a murderous expression.

"Stop!"

The next moment, a sharp command rang out.

A squad of enforcers in uniform deep-blue outfits marched over, led by a boy who looked to be about the same age as Tang Wulin.

The boy was dressed in luxurious clothing with refined features, yet his temperament was exceptionally steady—nothing like a child at all.

It was Su Chen, arriving with his squad of enforcers.

"It's the enforcers! Run!"

The moment the punks saw those uniforms, their faces turned as pale as paper.

The youth carrying the little girl was scared out of his wits; he clumsily dumped the girl onto the ground and bolted.

"Ugh..."

Na'er hit the ground with a muffled groan, her small body curling up, looking even more helpless.

Su Chen didn't pursue them; his gaze fell immediately upon Na'er.

That unique silver hair and those purple eyes were how Su Chen confirmed her identity.

Su Chen crouched down and gently brushed the silver hair away from Na'er's face, revealing her dirty yet exquisite little features.

Tears shimmered in those amethyst-like eyes; she was clearly terrified.

Su Chen understood in his heart: this was Gu Yuena, who had just transformed into human form, her memories and cultivation both sealed away.

At this moment, Na'er had not yet split into "Gu Yue" and "Na'er"; she could be considered the complete "Silver Dragon King" cub.
