Thinking of this,
Jin Feng's lips curled slightly upward.
Since Di Tian had sent such a delicate Beast Soul Sovereign to his side, he would gladly accept her. He only hoped they would not regret it.
His thoughts returned to reality.
Jin Feng turned to the Beast Soul Sovereign, who was clinging to his arm, and said, "The words 'Gu Yuena' are carved on this. That should be your name."
"Since Na'er, you currently don't remember anything about your family, come back to the Defense Clan with us first."
"So my name is Gu Yuena?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena murmured to herself before nodding eagerly. "Your aura feels very warm. You probably aren't bad people. I'll go with you!"
Seeing that his grandson had done nothing yet somehow brought such a beautiful little girl home, Niu Gao immediately grinned and gave Jin Feng a thumbs-up.
As for his grandfather Niu Gao's teasing,
Jin Feng pretended not to see it and turned to introduce them. "This is my grandfather, Niu Gao, chief of the Defense Clan. My name is Jin Feng. You can call me Brother Feng from now on."
"Okay, Brother Feng."
Gu Yuena nodded obediently. "You can call me Na'er or Little Na from now on."
After hearing Gu Yuena call him Brother Feng,
Jin Feng could not help feeling secretly delighted. Throughout history, he was probably the only one who could make the Beast Soul Sovereign call a one-ring Soul Master her brother.
Immediately afterward,
after Niu Gao stored the Extraterrestrial Meteorite containing a large amount of Starry Secret Silver into his storage Soul Tool, he seemed to think of something and suddenly looked at Gu Yuena. "Little Na, I sensed Soul Power within you earlier. What is your Martial Soul?"
"Martial Soul?"
Gu Yuena tilted her head, looking thoughtful.
A moment later, she extended her hand and condensed a tiny silver dragon surrounded by nine-colored radiance. She asked uncertainly, "Is it this?"
As the silver dragon appeared,
a yellow Soul Ring symbolizing a hundred years slowly rose beneath her feet.
At the same time,
the aura of level 12 Soul Power spread out.
"It's actually a Silver Dragon Martial Soul that governs the nine great elements! Six years old, a hundred-year Soul Ring, level 12 Soul Power—Little Na, you're also a genius with Innate Full Soul Power!"
At this sight,
Niu Gao could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
He had never imagined that a random six-year-old girl they picked up in the Star Dou Forest would possess such terrifying talent.
For a moment,
he could not help feeling uneasy.
For a genius like Gu Yuena to be born, the family behind her had to be extraordinary. If they took her away without a word and there was some misunderstanding, it might affect the Defense Clan.
Sensing his grandfather's concerns,
although Jin Feng knew Gu Yuena's family would not come looking for her, he wanted to ease his grandfather's worries.
He suddenly crouched down,
used his hand to write the character for "Defense" from Defense Clan on the ground, and drew a rhinoceros beside it.
Seeing this,
Niu Gao suddenly slapped his hand.
He said, "Little Feng, you really do have a way. This way, even if Little Na's family discovers that she is missing, they will know that our Defense Clan took her away. Leaving a mark means we definitely had no malicious intentions."
"Alright!"
"Since everything has been settled, let's head home. Once your uncle and the Great Elders learn what happened these past few days, their jaws will surely drop."
Not long after Jin Feng, Gu Yuena, and Niu Gao left,
a burly figure clad in a black robe suddenly emerged from the empty space Jin Feng had stared at earlier.
Looking at the writing and rhinoceros drawing on the ground,
he murmured, "As expected of someone who made my lord disregard everything, leave seclusion early, take human form, and make such arrangements merely because of the faint bloodline within his body..."
"At such a young age, he is already this extraordinary. With only one ring of cultivation, he could detect this king watching him in secret!"
"His Externalized Martial Soul is even more heaven-defying. Not only can it Devour metal and flesh to evolve and grow stronger, but it can also possess him in battle. Its growth speed is terrifying..."
"In this king's memories, the Divine Realm has no divine beast or god with a Martial Soul like his. It seems his so-called divine inheritance is most likely fabricated. Is it to conceal the beast clan bloodline within his body?"
"Jin Feng..."
"What an interesting human!"
"I hope that following by your side can truly accelerate my lord's recovery from her internal injuries... When my lord breaks through to seven rings and regains her memories, we will meet."
"I hope that by then, the mysterious bloodline within your body will have grown enough to surprise this king."
After the murmuring ended,
his figure instantly vanished.
Not long afterward, a fierce gale suddenly swept through the area. When the storm passed, the writing and drawing on the ground had already been buried beneath sand and dust.
Meanwhile,
under Niu Gao's lead, Jin Feng and Gu Yuena
quickly left the Star Dou Forest, rode in a carriage at full speed, and returned to the Defense Clan.
After learning that Jin Feng had returned,
the four Great Elders of the Defense Clan and his uncle, Niu Ben, quickly gathered in the Clan Chief Hall.
When they saw Gu Yuena inside the hall, tightly holding Jin Feng's arm and refusing to let go, everyone froze in place and looked at Jin Feng and Niu Gao in confusion.
Their gazes seemed to ask how they had gone out to hunt Jin Feng's first Soul Ring and somehow brought back such an adorable silver-haired, purple-eyed little girl.
Afterward,
once Niu Gao finished recounting what had happened over the past few days,
cries of alarm suddenly rang out inside the Clan Chief Hall of the Defense Clan.
"What? A 1,500-year Golden Python gave Little Feng two Soul Skills, and both his Externalized Martial Soul and Martial Soul Possession states can use them?"
"What do you mean the Golden Horned Behemoth took only five days to grow strong enough to hunt thousand-year Soul Beasts on its own?"
"Chief, you even saved Dai Weisi, the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire, and he will come to visit and thank you after some time?"
"This little girl is someone you encountered in the forest? Her memories are incomplete, and she got separated from her family... Her bone age is six, she has level 12 Soul Power, and her Martial Soul is the top-tier beast Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon?"
"..."
After the shock faded,
Niu Ben, having recovered his senses, suddenly waggled his brows at Jin Feng. "You brat are impressive. You started flirting with little girls at six?"
In response,
Jin Feng could not even be bothered to explain.
Under the teasing gazes of the elders, he said to Niu Gao, "Grandfather, have someone clear out a room beside mine for Na'er... Mmph..."
However, before Jin Feng could finish speaking,
Gu Yuena covered his mouth.
Then, with a resolute expression, Gu Yuena said to Niu Gao, "Grandfather, I don't want to sleep next door to Brother Feng. I want to sleep in the same room as him."
"Hm?"
Jin Feng's eyes suddenly widened.
He hurriedly pulled Gu Yuena's hand away from his mouth and said with a serious expression, "Na'er, boys and girls should keep their distance. You can only sleep next door to me, understand?"
Looking at Jin Feng's stern expression,
a glimmer of moisture suddenly filled Gu Yuena's amethyst-like eyes. With tears welling up, she asked, "Brother Feng, do you dislike me?"
"Uh..."
Seeing Gu Yuena start crying outright,
unable to bear the sight of tears, Jin Feng hurriedly cast a pleading look toward his grandfather Niu Gao.
At this,
Niu Gao fought back his laughter.
He made the decision at once. "Enough. You're just two little kids who don't understand anything. Sleeping in the same room for now is no big deal."
"I'll have someone put another bed in your room later. It's settled, then."
Hearing this,
the tears in Gu Yuena's eyes instantly vanished. She happily said to Niu Gao, "Thank you, Grandfather!"
Seeing that the matter had become a foregone conclusion,
Jin Feng could only choose to compromise.
Before returning to his room to rest, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said to Niu Gao, "Oh, right, Grandfather, give me a copy of the Defense Clan's meditation method."
"Within three months!"
"I'll give the clan a surprise."
