The Silver-Haired Girl with an Astonishing Identity

Hearing his grandfather Niu Gao's voice.

Jin Feng immediately stepped forward.

Very soon.

A silver-haired little girl came into view. She was unconscious and leaning against the back of the Extraterrestrial Meteorite, looked about the same age as him, and had a pale face. A black cord necklace hung around her neck, and her delicate features were adorable.

!!!

After approaching the silver-haired little girl.

Jin Feng suddenly felt a chill run down his back. His pupils constricted sharply, his body tensed, and he instinctively turned to look toward a patch of empty space behind him.

The reason for his reaction.

Was simple. Once he came within two meters of the little girl, the Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline within him suddenly issued a warning of danger.

At the same time, he felt as though some terrifying beast had fixed its gaze upon him.

After staring in the direction indicated by his bloodline for a while and finding nothing, Jin Feng did not lower his guard. His gaze constantly swept the surroundings, carefully examining every suspicious detail.

In just a moment.

He discovered what was strange about this area.

First, it was far too quiet. It was understandable that there were no people around, given how vast the Star Dou Forest was, but there was not even a sound from birds, beasts, fish, or insects. That was highly unusual.

Besides that.

He also noticed that there were not a single set of footprints around the meteorite.

Combined with his grandfather's earlier confusion, it seemed as though the Extraterrestrial Meteorite and the silver-haired little girl had both been gently placed here by someone using Soul Power.

At the same time.

After Niu Gao sent his Soul Power into the little girl's body and examined her, his expression immediately darkened. He said angrily, "This little girl's constitution is frighteningly weak. Her origin must have been damaged..."

"If there weren't Soul Power circulating inside her body, she probably would have collapsed long ago. I really don't know what her family was thinking, leaving a little girl with such a frail constitution and a bone age of only six all alone in the danger-filled Star Dou Forest!"

Upon hearing that.

Combined with the little girl's silver hair, damaged origin, solitary presence within the thousand-year soul beast region, and the warning his bloodline had given him earlier.

Jin Feng gradually formed a bold guess about her identity.

Thinking of this.

He subconsciously reached for the black necklace cord around the little girl's neck, wanting to see whether the pendant hidden beneath her clothes was what he suspected it to be.

However.

Before Jin Feng could touch the necklace cord.

"Mm..." Accompanied by a soft murmur, the silver-haired little girl before him suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful pupils like purple crystals.

Seeing the little girl awaken.

Jin Feng's half-extended hand instantly froze in midair, but before he could withdraw it.

The newly awakened silver-haired, purple-eyed little girl wriggled her nose, her eyes lighting up. As though she had spotted some rare treasure, she suddenly pounced forward and hugged Jin Feng's arm.

Her big eyes stared at Jin Feng as she said excitedly, "Big brother, your scent makes me feel so comfortable and warm. I really like it..."

???

Faced with this sudden turn of events.

Jin Feng was completely dumbfounded, freezing on the spot.

Meanwhile, seeing this scene, Niu Gao wore an indulgent smile, inexplicably feeling that the two little ones before him made a fine match.

Seeing that the little girl clung to Jin Feng's arm and refused to let go, Niu Gao first gave Jin Feng a meaningful look, then asked her with a warm smile, "Little girl, why are you alone in such a dangerous place?"

"Where are your parents?"

Looking at the rugged-faced, burly Niu Gao in front of her, the little girl instinctively shrank her neck and edged farther behind Jin Feng.

Seeing this.

Niu Gao's face darkened. He was merely a little rough-looking—was he really that fierce?

But a smile soon returned to his face.

Because, after realizing that he meant no harm, the little girl timidly poked her head out and said with a bewildered expression, "I... I don't remember..."

"Then do you know what your name is?" Niu Gao frowned slightly as he continued questioning the silly-looking little girl behind Jin Feng.

"I don't remember..."

The little girl instinctively shook her head.

However, after tilting her head up and thinking for a moment, she seemed to recall something and suddenly said, "Right... In my dream earlier, someone seemed to call me Na... Na'er!"

Hearing this.

Jin Feng had completely solved the mystery.

This was no lost little girl with amnesia. She was clearly Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King and ruler of all soul beasts on Douluo Continent.

No wonder there was not a single soul beast nearby, and even birds and insects did not dare approach.

With such an ancient deity present.

It would be strange if any soul beast dared come close.

As for why Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, who should only recover from her injuries twenty thousand years later, had awakened now.

Jin Feng did not know.

But there was one thing he could be certain of: she had definitely sought him out on purpose.

And judging from Gu Yuena's earlier words about how his aura felt comfortable and warm, the Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline in his body had most likely drawn her here.

Thinking of this.

A bold speculation arose in Jin Feng's heart.

The Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline could help Gu Yuena recover from her injuries faster.

That was why she had awakened ahead of time, disregarded the severe wounds inflicted on her by the Asura God, forcibly taken human form, and appeared beside him in this incredibly weakened human form with missing memories.

As for the person who had brought her here, protected her in secret, and arranged everything around them.

Jin Feng already had a guess.

But it still needed confirmation.

With that thought, his eyes flickered as he said to Gu Yuena, who was holding his arm, "Um... Na'er, I see you have a pendant around your neck. Could you take it out and let me have a look? Maybe it has information about your family on it?"

Faced with Jin Feng's request.

Gu Yuena, who felt incomparably close to him, did not hesitate in the slightest. She immediately released one hand, pulled the pendant from her chest, and held it out before Jin Feng.

What entered his eyes.

Was the black necklace cord.

Hanging from it, just as Jin Feng had suspected, was a pitch-black Black Dragon Reverse Scale engraved with the three characters "Gu Yuena."

"Just as I thought..."

The instant he saw the Black Dragon Reverse Scale, Jin Feng murmured inwardly, "Di Tian the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest, has awakened as well."

"It seems that from the moment Grandpa and I entered the Star Dou Forest, we had been under their surveillance. Everything we experienced and said these past few days had been seen and heard by them."

"If they hadn't learned that my martial soul could Devour metal to grow stronger, they wouldn't have deliberately brought an Extraterrestrial Meteorite from elsewhere and placed it here..."

"Fortunately, based on the information I have so far, they don't intend to kill me... They merely set this up to stir Grandpa's and my sympathy, so that we would take the lonely and helpless Gu Yuena away."

"But that doesn't make sense. If the Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline in my body is useful to the Silver Dragon King, why didn't Di Tian simply seize me and bring me back? Why go to such lengths?"

"Could it be because he thinks I'm too weak right now?"

"Or is there some other reason?"

"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore. I'll just take Gu Yuena away as they intend for now. Otherwise, they might really come and drag me to the Land of Great Omen to imprison me."

"Come to think of it, Gu Yuena has Di Tian's reverse scale protecting her. As long as she stays by my side, I will indirectly gain the protection of a demigod-level powerhouse like Di Tian."

"Looking at it that way, bringing the Silver Dragon King, ruler of all soul beasts, back to the Defense Clan isn't a bad thing for me."

"On the contrary..."

"Di Tian will have to constantly worry."

"That I might run off with their lord."
