Ya Li: What's his name? This old lady will go kill him!

(Ya Li Tu)

On the other side.

Shrek Academy.

Na'er had already joined Shrek Academy.

Enrollment at Shrek Academy had already concluded, but there were still exceptions for outstanding talent; as long as one was gifted enough and passed a special examination, admission was still possible.

Moreover, Na'er was quite lucky.

She had encountered Ya Li the moment she arrived at Shrek Academy.

Perhaps it was because Na'er was exceptionally beautiful, and the talent she displayed was equally formidable, that Ya Li took her directly to meet Yun Ming.

Upon seeing Na'er, Yun Ming felt an inexplicable sense of destiny, and he found himself quite fond of her.

After a brief test, Yun Ming immediately took Na'er as his only personal disciple, bringing her into the Inner Court to enjoy the highest standard of training and treatment.

It could be said that her journey was smooth sailing, without a single obstacle.

Luck accounted for thirty percent, talent for another thirty, and the rest was simply down to her looks.

Sea God Island.

Na'er sat on a swing, her slender fingers unconsciously winding around the ropes as her beautiful purple eyes gazed blankly at the shimmering ripples of Sea God Lake.

But she saw nothing; her thoughts had long since drifted to the distant Eastsea City.

"Na'er, are you alright?"

A voice as gentle as the warm sun of spring drifted from behind her.

This voice seemed to possess a magical quality, capable of instantly dispelling the gloom in her heart.

Hearing this, Na'er hurriedly jumped off the swing and turned around, a joyful smile immediately blooming on her face.

The person who arrived wore a well-tailored water-green dress that perfectly accentuated her mature and curvaceous figure.

Beneath the dress, her shapely legs were encased in flesh-colored stockings, and she wore a pair of light green high heels; the heels were not high, yet they added just the right touch of elegance.

Her features were delicate, and she appeared to be in her thirties, her skin lustrous and showing no trace of the passage of time.

Her bright eyes were as gentle as water, containing a soft radiance that seemed capable of embracing everything.

A head of ink-green hair draped softly over her shoulders, with a few strands gently stirred by the breeze.

Standing there, she was like an ancient tree radiating tranquility and vitality—clean, elegant, and naturally graceful.

The person who had arrived was none other than Yun Ming's wife, the Holy Spirit Douluo—Ya Li.

She was also recognized as the most beautiful woman on the continent, a status that had remained unchallenged for decades, with no one able to surpass her.

"Ah, Teacher's wife, why are you here..."

Hearing this, Na'er hurriedly rose to greet her, throwing herself into Ya Li's arms and nuzzling against her, feeling soft and warm...

Na'er greatly envied Ya Li's figure.

She wanted a figure like that when she grew up, because she knew that Su Chen liked this kind of...

"Isn't it because your master said you've been a bit distracted in your cultivation lately, so I came to check on you~"

Ya Li gently stroked Na'er's head, the doting and tenderness in her eyes nearly overflowing.

Ever since she first laid eyes on Na'er, she had fallen in love with this little girl.

Because Na'er was truly too beautiful, and her voice was so pleasant to hear.

The moment Na'er spoke, her heart would melt.

Coupled with the information that Na'er was an orphan, she felt even more heartache for her.

Due to special reasons, she was unable to bear children, so she had decisively decided to let Yun Ming take a disciple.

Although they claimed it was just taking a disciple, both she and Yun Ming intended to raise Na'er as their own daughter.

"I'm fine, I just miss my brother..."

Na'er whispered.

"You mean him? If his talent is decent, I could have him brought to Shrek Academy as well."

Ya Li's tone remained gentle. She had heard of Na'er's childhood, knowing that Na'er had lived with a family in Eastsea City and had a good brother.

Furthermore, as someone who had been through it all, she could tell at a glance that Na'er had feelings for him, and that the two were likely childhood sweethearts...

"It's not that, I'm just worried... worried that my brother might have taken a liking to some other girl..." Na'er puffed out her cheeks slightly and muttered under her breath.

She used to follow Su Chen everywhere and knew his situation inside and out; she only needed to catch a scent to know who Su Chen had been with that day.

But now she wasn't by Su Chen's side.

And Su Chen had entered Eastsea Academy, where beauties were as numerous as clouds, and with Gu Yue lurking about, she was truly afraid that Su Chen wouldn't be able to hold himself back.

"What! Isn't he your childhood sweetheart???" Ya Li was completely stunned upon hearing this.

She had heard Na'er tell some stories about Su Chen and herself; listening to them was incredibly heartwarming, a classic childhood sweetheart tale.

Although Na'er hadn't mentioned the boy's name or his talent, she still felt that he wasn't good enough for Na'er.

She and Yun Ming had even thought that if the boy ever came looking for her, they would have to set up all sorts of trials and tests for him.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that the brat wouldn't cherish such a wonderful girl like Na'er and would instead go off chasing other girls!

It was simply outrageous!

"That's right... but my brother's dream is to have many wives..." Na'er's tone grew increasingly melancholy.

"What a playboy! What is his name? I'll go slaughter him right now!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Li flew into a rage.

Ya Li's personality could be described as very gentle, but that didn't mean she couldn't get angry.

It was just that at her level of cultivation, it was basically impossible for anything to make her this furious.

But this matter was something she truly could not tolerate.

She despised fickle men more than anything.

Moreover, she had long since come to treat Na'er as her own daughter.

She was already quite displeased that her "daughter" was about to be snatched away by some punk.

She never expected that...

The boy knew full well that Na'er liked him, yet he still associated with other girls; wasn't this just bullying Na'er for her kind heart?!

Who could tolerate this?!

She had to slaughter that dog!

"Ya Li, what's wrong? Who made you so angry?"

Just then, Yun Ming sensed Ya Li's emotions on the verge of exploding and hurried over.

Ya Li had always been gentle; ever since they married, he had never seen her this angry.

A moment later.

"BOOM--"

A terrifying pressure erupted, causing the entire Sea God Lake to sink by several inches.

"Na'er, tell your master, what is that brat's name? I guarantee I won't beat him to death!!!"

Yun Ming suppressed his rage and asked in a cold voice.

"That's right, Na'er. You know your mistress is the gentlest person. Tell me his name, and I'll go have a little 'chat' with him~"

Ya Li also quickly reined in her emotions, revealing a "kind" smile.

"Umm... Master... Mistress... please don't be like this, I'm scared..."

Na'er shrank her neck, clearly terrified.

She didn't dare mention Su Chen's name now; looking at her master and mistress, they were truly ready to kill.

"Alright, alright. Your master and I were just joking with you. Na'er, you focus on your cultivation. When you grow up a bit more and achieve success, you'll realize that you and he are no longer people of the same world."

Ya Li gently pulled Na'er into her arms and comforted her softly.

"Really... you mustn't secretly go and cause him trouble..." Na'er was still a bit worried.

With her master's capabilities, if he really wanted to investigate, he could actually find Su Chen.

"Na'er, what kind of people do you take us for? Why would we bicker with a child? Don't worry."

Yun Ming also shook his head helplessly.

He and Ya Li had truly been angry just a moment ago.

But it had only been for an instant.

Regardless, the other party was just a child; they certainly wouldn't lay a hand on a little brat.

It was possible that Na'er might change her mind in the future.

However, if that boy dared to show up and try to sweet-talk Na'er in the future, they wouldn't be so polite.

They would let that boy know what it meant to face the strongest couple on the continent.

"Umm... that's good then..."

Na'er let out a sigh of relief.

She actually knew what her master and mistress were thinking; it was nothing more than the belief that Su Chen wasn't good enough for her.

However, she still believed in Su Chen.

In a few years, when Su Chen grew up, her master and mistress would surely look at him with new eyes.

Of course, she had to work hard before then too!

Na'er clenched her small fists, secretly cheering herself on in her heart.

Because Gu Yue had only given her thirty percent of her power.

It was impossible for her to surpass Su Chen in cultivation.

However, she had become a disciple of Yun Ming.

Yun Ming was, after all, the strongest powerhouse on the continent.

If she could learn his true skills, she felt she would still have a chance to challenge Su Chen despite the gap in their levels...
