A Hero Saves the Beauty, Bringing Na'er Home

"Let her go."

At that moment, Yao Xuan stepped forward and raised his voice.

The young men were startled by Yao Xuan's voice. When they turned around, anger appeared in their eyes—the one standing up for her was actually a little boy barely over a meter tall, only reaching their waists.

"Brat, get lost! Don't stick your nose into other people's business!"

A young man standing at the back showed a vicious look in his eyes. He raised his right leg and swung a sweeping kick at Yao Xuan.

"Too slow!"

Although he was only six years old, bolstered by the Basic Ancestral Dragon Body and with his Ancestral Dragon Bloodline raised to 0.9%, Yao Xuan's strength had already exceeded one hundred kilograms, far surpassing that of an ordinary adult man. His agility and combat instincts had been enhanced as well.

In Yao Xuan's eyes, the young man's kick was not only incredibly slow but full of openings. He gave a cold smile, lightly stepped to the side, and easily dodged the kick. Then he swung his own leg toward the young man's shin.

"Bang!"

The young man had not paid attention to a mere brat. Surprise showed on his face when Yao Xuan dodged his attack, and at that very moment, Yao Xuan's kick struck his lower leg with a dull thud.

"Thud!"

Hit by Yao Xuan's kick, the young man felt as though his thigh had snapped. Pain immediately twisted his face as he lost control and fell to the ground, clutching his leg with both hands and crying out in pain.

"Hmph, useless trash! You got hurt dealing with a little brat? What a disgrace! Kid, if you don't want to die, get the hell out of my way!"

The leader's face turned fierce as he looked at the young man on the ground. With a flick of his wrist, a short dagger appeared in his palm, glinting coldly. He pointed it at Yao Xuan and shouted harshly.

"Let her go! I'm a Soul Master. If you've got the guts, come at me!"

Yao Xuan showed no fear as he looked at the leader. With a thought, he raised his right hand. Nine-colored light flickered, and the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul condensed before him, giving off faint energy ripples.

Although Yao Xuan's Soul Power was only level five, and he had neither a Soul Spirit nor a Soul Ring and could not use Soul Skills, the Martial Soul and Soul Power themselves were the best deterrents.

Every Soul Master was a precious resource. The Sun Moon Federation and the Spirit Pagoda kept special records of children with Soul Power. If anything happened to such a child, the authorities would certainly investigate thoroughly. Unless someone had overwhelming influence, it would be nearly impossible to cover it up.

"He has Soul Power. He's not an ordinary child. Boss, forget it. If we really make a move, we definitely won't escape the investigation! Harming a potential Soul Master gets you at least twenty years in prison. We might even get shot!"

After seeing Yao Xuan reveal his Martial Soul and Soul Power, one of the leader's lackeys warned him.

"What rotten luck! Let's go!"

Hearing the warning, the leader understood the seriousness of the situation. He snorted unwillingly, threw aside the little girl, and fled in disgrace with his companions.

"This... feels so familiar!"

As the Delinquent Youths were driven away by Yao Xuan, a look of longing appeared on the little girl's face. She stared intently at the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul in Yao Xuan's hand and murmured softly.

"Whew, good thing I didn't clash with those guys!"

Watching the young men flee, Yao Xuan could not help but let out a sigh of relief. The heart in his throat finally settled.

Although Yao Xuan's strength had surpassed that of an ordinary adult man, he was still alone and had never systematically learned combat techniques. Two fists could not beat four hands, especially when those young men had knives.

If a real fight had broken out, Yao Xuan would not have feared them, but he might have been injured or even bled. That would have been rather unpleasant. Being able to resolve the matter peacefully and make them leave on their own was naturally the best outcome.

Ding! You helped the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na (juvenile form), escape trouble and gained her favor. You have received Golden Evolution Points x5!

At that moment, the system notification sounded again, and a faint smile appeared on Yao Xuan's face.

"Another five Golden Evolution Points! Awesome!"

Every Golden Evolution Point was a precious resource. Gaining five of them without shedding a drop of blood was naturally an excellent reward. Thinking this, Yao Xuan walked toward the little girl.

"Don't be afraid. The bad guys have already been chased away. Come on, get up. My name is Yao Xuan. What's your name?"

As he spoke, Yao Xuan extended his right hand and pulled her up from the ground.

"My name? My name... is Na'er."

Hearing Yao Xuan's question, the little girl blinked her large purple eyes a few times, as though trying to remember something. At last, she answered hesitantly in a voice as clear and sweet as silver bells.

"Na'er? That's a very lovely name. And your voice is lovely too."

Hearing Na'er's voice, Yao Xuan gave her a kind smile.

At Yao Xuan's words, Na'er's pretty face reddened slightly. She lowered her head again and remained silent.

"By the way, Na'er, did you get separated from your family? Where do you live? Do you want me to take you home?"

Seeing Na'er's adorable appearance, Yao Xuan could not help but feel a hint of affection for her. This juvenile Silver Dragon King was so adorable it was practically criminal. Of course, knowing Na'er's identity, Yao Xuan would not do anything improper. Instead, he looked kindly into her eyes and asked with concern.

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, a dazed look appeared in Na'er's eyes again. In the end, she shook her head hesitantly.

"Grrr... grrr..."

Just as the atmosphere became a little awkward, an untimely sound rang out. Na'er lowered her head even further, and a blush crept across her face.

"Na'er, are you hungry? If you can't find your family, come home with me first."

Yao Xuan looked at Na'er and spoke sincerely.

"Go home with you..."

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Na'er slowly raised her head. Her large purple eyes held a trace of confusion as she murmured.

"Mm, don't worry. I'm not a bad person."

Yao Xuan smiled as he looked into Na'er's beautiful eyes.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

Looking into Yao Xuan's eyes, Na'er was immediately drawn to his aura, and her heartbeat unconsciously quickened. Not only had Yao Xuan rescued her from the bad people, proving that he was not a bad person, but his Martial Soul also seemed to hold a special attraction for her. Thus, Na'er nodded slightly of her own accord and accepted Yao Xuan's invitation.
