Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's Avatar, Na'er!

At the sound of the door opening, she abruptly raised her head.

Those amethyst-like eyes were filled with fear and wariness, and she instinctively curled herself up even tighter.

But when her gaze fell on Li Changqing, it paused for no apparent reason.

For some reason, she felt that the aura around him was somewhat familiar.

As though she had seen it somewhere before.

Yet no matter how hard she thought, she could not remember.

Bo Saixi stepped forward and crouched before the girl, making her voice as gentle as possible. "Don't be afraid. We're here to take you away. No one will bully you again."

The girl said nothing, merely looking quietly at her.

Then she looked at Li Changqing standing behind her, and the fear in her eyes diminished slightly.

Yet she still did not let down her guard.

Bo Saixi was in no hurry. She rose to her feet and carefully examined the girl.

Up close, the girl truly was extraordinarily beautiful.

Her long silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, gleaming faintly beneath the lights.

Her skin was fair and delicate, like flawless white jade, seemingly soft enough to break with a puff of breath.

Her features were as exquisite as a meticulously crafted work of art.

Especially those amethyst-like eyes, clear and deep, as though they held endless stories within them.

Even someone like Bo Saixi, who had seen countless beauties, could not help but sigh. Once this girl grew up, she would surely become a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.

But what concerned Bo Saixi more was the aura emanating from the girl.

It was an exceptionally peculiar aura—ethereal, pure, with a trace of otherworldly haziness.

Bo Saixi frowned, both puzzled and shocked.

As a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, if this girl had been a soul beast in human form, she absolutely could not have escaped Bo Saixi's notice.

Yet after observing her carefully for quite some time, Bo Saixi found no trace of a soul beast's aura.

What emanated from the girl was a purely human fluctuation.

That left only two possibilities.

Either, like Li Changqing, she was the child of some deity, with divine blood flowing through her veins.

Or she possessed some exceptionally rare special constitution and had been born with this ethereal aura.

But if it were the first possibility, how could the child of a deity have fallen so low as to be sold as an auction item?

It made no sense at all.

Therefore, Bo Saixi personally leaned toward the latter.

The girl likely possessed an exceptionally rare special constitution, which was why the auction house had hyped her up as a "treasure seen only once in a century."

"Come on. Go home with your big sister." Bo Saixi extended her hand with a smile.

The girl hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out with her small hand and taking Bo Saixi's.

That hand was tiny, cold, and trembling slightly, as though she feared something.

Bo Saixi's heart softened. She tightened her grip on the girl's hand and led her out of the lounge.

Li Changqing followed behind them, his gaze fixed on the girl's back as a thoughtful look flickered through his eyes.

After paying twenty million Gold Soul Coins, the three of them left the auction house.

The night wind blew against them with a trace of chill.

The streets remained brightly lit, crowded with people, and bustling with activity.

The girl did not say a word along the way. She merely lowered her head and obediently followed behind Bo Saixi.

She neither cried nor made a fuss, nor did she try to run. She simply followed in silence, like a lost little kitten.

And the moment they left the auction house, a man in white robes whose face could not be seen stood quietly among the crowd, watching them depart.

His figure was concealed in the shadows, as though he had blended into the night itself, drawing no one's attention.

After returning to their residence at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Bo Saixi first took the girl to bathe, then changed her into a clean set of clothes.

The girl cooperated throughout the entire process. She neither cried nor fussed, remaining so quiet that it was as if she did not exist.

Li Changqing, meanwhile, sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, dozing off in boredom.

After all the commotion through most of the night, he truly was a little sleepy.

Not long afterward, Bo Saixi emerged with the freshly bathed girl.

Hearing the movement, Li Changqing opened his eyes, and his gaze immediately brightened.

With the dust washed away and clean clothes on, the girl seemed like an entirely different person.

She wore a simple, elegant white dress. Her silver hair draped over her shoulders, still slightly damp and glimmering faintly beneath the moonlight.

Her skin was fair and translucent, and her features were exquisitely beautiful. Especially those amethyst-like eyes, clear and bright, seemed to contain an ocean of stars.

Standing beneath the moonlight, she looked like an elf who had stepped out of a fairy tale, breathtakingly beautiful.

Holding the girl's hand, Bo Saixi walked up to Li Changqing and said, "I asked her about it. This little girl is called Na'er. She has no family and doesn't know where her home is. As for her martial soul, it's a silver-white spear. I examined it—it is of extremely high quality and has reached the divine grade. Even compared to my Sea God martial soul, it is not inferior in the slightest."

Bo Saixi's tone carried unconcealed shock as she spoke.

She had never imagined that in this world, apart from herself, Qian Daoliu's line, and Li Changqing—the son of a God King from the God Realm—there would be someone else with a divine-grade martial soul.

And that person had even been purchased from an auction house. It was utterly absurd.

A divine-grade martial soul was the symbol of a deity.

Everyone who possessed a divine-grade martial soul was destined to become someone standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

Yet such a genius had been auctioned off like merchandise. It was an outrageous waste.

After hearing this, Li Changqing did not show much surprise.

He raised his head and looked at the girl called Na'er before him, his gaze calm yet grave.

In truth, he had already guessed the girl's identity back at the auction house.

Silver hair, purple eyes, the Silver Dragon Spear.

Combined, these three traits pointed to only one existence.

The Common Master of Soul Beasts, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

Though the Na'er before him appeared to be no more than a six- or seven-year-old girl.

Li Changqing knew that she was one half split off from Gu Yuena.

And that so-called silver-white spear was not a martial soul at all, but Gu Yuena's bonded divine artifact, the Silver Dragon Spear.

What Li Changqing could not understand was why, according to the original storyline, Gu Yuena should only have awakened tens of thousands of years later and entered the human world under the identity of Na'er.

Why had she appeared so many years early?

And if Gu Yuena had already awakened, what about Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts?

Had they also awakened alongside her, choosing to launch a war in this era?

Li Changqing had no answers to these questions for now.

But he knew that Na'er's appearance was absolutely no coincidence.

There was definitely something here that he did not know.

It seemed that his journey of training in the lower realm would not be as simple and easy as he had imagined.
