"You look so beautiful, your background must be extraordinary. I bet you come from some super reclusive, prestigious family."
Na'er was stunned.
Su Chen continued his analysis, his tone certain:
"You must have been persecuted and hunted by enemies when you were wandering the streets, and then unfortunately lost your memory. Now..."
"It must be that your family went through all sorts of hardships and finally found you. They want to take you back to inherit the family business!"
"Although I really hate to see you go, you can't forget your big brother after you inherit the family business..."
Looking at Su Chen's serious expression, Na'er's head buzzed, and her mind went blank for a moment.
The next instant.
Na'er took two steps back.
Before Su Chen could react, Na'er had already rushed over.
"Stupid brother! I told you to stop reading those trashy novels!"
"Bang—"
Na'er delivered a headbutt, knocking Su Chen directly onto the sofa, then wrapped her arms around his neck and started biting him randomly.
"Ah, did I guess wrong?"
Su Chen feigned confusion.
"Where in this world would you find such a cliché plot? I was just... anyway, it's not what you think...!!"
Na'er glared at Su Chen, fuming.
She had spent the better part of the day brewing up a sentimental mood, and now it was all shattered to pieces.
As for those shy words she wanted to say, she couldn't get a single one out now.
The perfect atmosphere had been completely ruined by Su Chen; it was simply too much!
The only thing Su Chen got right was that her identity was indeed extraordinary.
But there was no such thing as a cliché plot about being hunted by enemies; she had simply been unlucky, temporarily losing most of her memories during the transformation process, and then, by a twist of fate, she met Su Chen. That was all...
However, she knew her mission. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to leave; that was her destiny.
"Haha, alright, alright, don't be angry~"
Watching Na'er's puffed-up expression, Su Chen finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Su Chen reached out and gently cupped Na'er's face, looking into her clear eyes, and said earnestly: "Maybe my guess just now wasn't quite accurate, but I am still very certain that your identity is extraordinary. You can't stay by my side forever, and I have prepared myself for your departure..."
"Then... will you miss me..."
Hearing this, a mist gradually filled Na'er's beautiful purple eyes.
Although her emotional buildup had been interrupted by Su Chen, the thought of leaving him soon still made her want to cry.
"Of course, I will miss you every single day. And no matter what happens to you, once I become strong enough, I will definitely come to find you. Even if I have to search the entire continent, I will find you and bring you back to my side."
Su Chen spoke very seriously, his tone incredibly solemn.
Na'er's inner conflict was nothing more than the hatred soul beasts bore toward humans, and the heavy responsibility of strengthening her race.
At the root of it all was the conflict between soul beasts and humans.
However, as long as Su Chen was strong enough, that could be solved with a wave of his hand.
If soul beasts couldn't survive in this world, then he would just find them a brand new world—a world without humans.
All fear comes from a lack of firepower.
All trouble comes from a lack of strength.
As long as one has sufficient strength, any problem can be easily solved.
Su Chen had a lot of confidence in himself (the system).
"Really... then you must keep your word... no lying..."
Na'er leaned into Su Chen's embrace, nuzzling into the crook of his neck, clearly deeply moved.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you~"
Su Chen chuckled softly.
Su Chen took a glance at the system panel and discovered that just a moment ago, Na'er's favorability had finally broken through 90, reaching 91.
Although it was only a one-point increase.
But this one point had been stuck for two whole years.
Clearly, this was a crucial point, representing the breakthrough of a bottleneck, and perhaps it would bring unexpected benefits.
"Love you... brother..."
Just then, a soft, sweet whisper with a hint of a nasal tone brushed against Su Chen's ear.
Na'er slowly raised her head, staring straight at Su Chen.
Crystalline teardrops still clung to her long eyelashes, making her violet eyes appear even clearer and brighter as they were moistened by tears.
Before Su Chen could react.
Na'er pressed herself directly against him.
Time seemed to come to a complete standstill at this moment.
Inside the private room, the lights were soft, and the air was permeated with an ambiguous atmosphere.
The young man froze on the sofa, while the young girl knelt on top of him, leaning down with her arms wrapped tightly around his neck.
Na'er's kiss was clumsy, yet exceptionally earnest.
Su Chen felt his head spinning at this moment.
Na'er has learned to be bad, actually using a drug...
Su Chen was somewhat speechless.
This was not any kind of poison, but merely a sedative to induce rapid sleep; Su Chen's body had not immediately triggered a stress response, which was the only reason he had noticed it.
At this moment, Su Chen only needed a single thought to instantly neutralize the effects of the drug.
But Su Chen did not do so.
After all, since Na'er had gone to such great lengths to drug him, he had to give her some face...
Besides, this dizzy feeling was actually quite comfortable.
Su Chen had already been exhausted from the day, and now, with a girl in his arms and sweetness on his lips.
Coupled with the effects of the drug, he quickly drifted off to sleep.
"Big brother, I'm sorry..."
Na'er's eyes were brimming with tears as she gently stroked Su Chen's cheek, the reluctance and love in her eyes almost becoming tangible.
But she truly had no other choice; she was the Silver Dragon King, the Sovereign of Soul Beasts, and she could not abandon her race for the sake of her own love...
Di Tian and the others had already tracked her down.
She could not let them discover her relationship with Su Chen, otherwise, Su Chen would be in mortal danger, which was the main reason she had to leave.
Na'er took out a gem-like silver pendant and placed it into Su Chen's hand; a photograph hung from the pendant, the very first picture she and Su Chen had taken together...
She took one last look at Su Chen.
A flash of determination appeared in Na'er's eyes.
She turned and vanished into the night.
Inside a vast, empty hall, Na'er sat upon a throne, crossing her legs with her fair feet looking particularly dazzling.
Although she still possessed the appearance of a young girl, her temperament had completely changed; she was like a high and mighty queen, her beautiful violet eyes radiating a heart-palpitating majesty.
The Na'er of this moment was the true Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
Although she was also herself while at the Su Family, she would hide that other side of her whenever she was in front of Su Chen.
"My Lord! You have finally returned!"
Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the others hurriedly knelt and kowtowed, appearing extremely respectful.
"Mm..."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, appearing distracted, clearly not yet having broken free from the sorrow of parting.
"My Lord... it seems you had long since recovered your memories, so why did you insist on staying in that human's home, unwilling to return..."
Di Tian asked cautiously.
"Hm?"
Gu Yuena snapped back to reality, casting a cold glance at Di Tian as a terrifying aura erupted, the powerful bloodline pressure instantly weighing down upon Di Tian.
Although Gu Yuena currently possessed no cultivation, she had peerless power sealed within her body, and when combined with her bloodline power, it still made Di Tian break out in a cold sweat.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Gu Yuena's voice was icy, and a flash of killing intent even crossed her eyes.
Because she seemed to perceive a hint of hostility from Di Tian toward the Su Family.
This was something she would never allow!
