Na'er, You're So Beautiful

Ten minutes later.

"Come on, Na'er, sit down and get some rest first. I'll go get you something to eat."

After opening the apartment door, Yao Xuan took Na'er's hand and led her to the sofa. He then went into the kitchen, took out a plate of cakes from the soul-guided refrigerator, and placed it before her.

"Come on, Na'er, you must be hungry, right? Eat up, no need to be polite."

Handing a piece of cake to Na'er, Yao Xuan said with a smile.

A glimmer lit up in Na'er's eyes at the sight of the cake in Yao Xuan's hand, only to be quickly covered by hesitation.

"Go ahead and eat. This cake is delicious!"

Noticing the hesitation in Na'er's eyes, Yao Xuan smiled again. He broke the cake in half, ate one half himself, and held the other half up to Na'er's mouth.

"Then... thank you. I won't stand on ceremony."

The fragrant scent of the cake made the yearning in Na'er's eyes grow stronger. Seeing Yao Xuan eat the other half, her concerns finally vanished. She softly thanked him, reached out with her lovely little hand to take the cake, and began eating in large bites.

After finishing one piece of cake, the wariness in Na'er's eyes had clearly diminished considerably. She raised her head and cast Yao Xuan a longing glance.

"Na'er, if you're still hungry, just eat. You don't need to be polite."

Seeing the tentative look in Na'er's eyes, Yao Xuan immediately understood what she meant and said with a smile.

"Thank you."

With Yao Xuan's permission, Na'er no longer held back. She grabbed two pieces of cake at once and began eating them in big bites. It was clear that she really was rather hungry.

It seems this future Silver Dragon King is quite the little foodie. And the way she eats is really adorable!

At the side, Yao Xuan watched Na'er with his body turned slightly toward her, his eyes full of affection.

Before long, Na'er had cleaned the entire plate of cakes spotless, though her eyes still carried a sense of wanting more. Yao Xuan helped her throw the empty packaging into the trash.

"Ding-dong!"

Since Na'er did not like to talk, Yao Xuan did not disturb her. He simply sat beside her. About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang. Lin Ximeng had returned.

"Na'er, my mother is back. She's not a bad person either, so don't be afraid, okay?"

Hearing the doorbell, Yao Xuan turned and explained it to Na'er. Then he trotted to the door and opened it.

"Mom, you're back!"

Seeing Lin Ximeng return from Red Mountain Academy, Yao Xuan greeted her warmly.

"Mm, Yao Xuan, I'm back. Oh, right—who is that girl sitting on the sofa?"

A smile kept appearing on Lin Ximeng's face at Yao Xuan's welcome. Then her gaze fell on Na'er sitting on the sofa, and she asked Yao Xuan with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"It happened like this, Mom. On my way home from school, I ran into some bad people..."

Hearing Lin Ximeng's question, Yao Xuan told her the whole story of what had happened to Na'er.

"Oh my, what you did today was far too dangerous! Good thing you weren't hurt, or I would have been worried sick!"

After hearing Yao Xuan's explanation, a trace of lingering fear appeared on Lin Ximeng's face, and her breathing became somewhat hurried. She knew very well that the little thugs in the civilian districts were no decent people and capable of every kind of evil.

"Mom, it's okay. Look, didn't I come back safely?"

Hearing the concern in Lin Ximeng's voice, warmth rose in Yao Xuan's heart as he spoke softly.

"That's true. Good thing you have Soul Power, or you would have been in danger. You did the right thing, but don't take such risks again next time! Oh, little one, is your name Na'er? Where are your parents?"

After hearing Yao Xuan's explanation, Lin Ximeng smiled and patted his head. She then walked over to Na'er, crouched down, and asked gently.

Just as before, Na'er merely shook her head slightly without saying anything.

"Alright, Na'er. Do you know where you're from, then? Or where your home is?"

Hearing Na'er's response, Lin Ximeng continued asking. Yet at her question, Na'er still only shook her head without speaking.

"Do you know how to contact your family? Or any other clues about your background would do."

Seeing Na'er shake her head again, a trace of confusion appeared in Lin Ximeng's eyes, but she continued asking.

This time, Na'er still shook her head.

"Alright, Na'er. Then how old are you? You can't possibly not know that too, can you?"

Seeing that Na'er did not know her own background, Lin Ximeng did not press further and instead changed her question.

"Five and a half."

This time, Na'er finally spoke, answering in a pleasant voice.

"Five and a half? How terrible! Alright, Na'er, you can stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the administrator to look into things and see whether we can find your family. Also, you're all dirty. Let me take you for a bath!"

Upon hearing Na'er's age, a flash of anger crossed Lin Ximeng's face. Then she spoke to Na'er gently.

At Red Mountain Academy, Soul Master Class students spent one day studying soul master courses and the next studying cultural courses. Since Lin Ximeng did not need to teach at Red Mountain Academy the following day, she planned to help Na'er figure out her background.

After hearing Lin Ximeng's words, Na'er nodded, though no emotion showed in her violet eyes. Lin Ximeng then took Na'er's hand and led her toward the bathroom.

Since it's Na'er, I absolutely have to keep her here. This is the most crucial step in winning over the future Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na! If I can't leave a deep impression on her at this stage, open her heart, and make her develop human "emotions," then earning her genuine feelings in the future will be harder than climbing to the heavens!

Besides, once Na'er stays here, I can obtain a large number of Golden Evolution Points from her as the Silver Dragon King. That will also be very helpful for my future growth! No matter what, I have to convince Lin Ximeng to let her stay. Should I act cute with her?

Lin Ximeng took Na'er into the bathroom, while Yao Xuan pondered silently. Not long after, Lin Ximeng emerged from the bathroom with Na'er.

After her bath, all the dust on Na'er's body and face had been washed away, revealing fair, smooth skin that seemed as though water could be squeezed from it with the gentlest pinch. Although she wore one of Yao Xuan's somewhat oversized shirts, it did not diminish her beauty in the slightest.

Not only that, Na'er's features were exquisitely proportioned and charming. She looked like a porcelain doll, adorable and lovable, and she gave off a faint fragrance that left Yao Xuan staring blankly.

"Na'er, you're so beautiful!"

Looking at Na'er, Yao Xuan could not help praising her. Na'er's pretty face reddened slightly, and she shyly tucked her head in a little.
