The day before the start of the semester at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Golden Yangguang shone on the college's magnificent metal buildings, reflecting a cool luster.
The students returned to school in twos and threes, chatting about their holiday experiences and discussing their cultivation progress.
Meng Hongchen's long red hair shimmered in the Yangguang. She slightly raised her chin, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Kong Xuan, walking beside her, remained calm, but a hint of doting affection would appear in his eyes when he glanced at her side.
The two held hands tightly, walking confidently down the main road of the academy.
"Hey, am I seeing things? That's... Kong Xuan and Meng Hongchen?"
"They... were holding hands?"
"Ahhh! They're finally together! They're such a perfect match!"
Whispers spread like ripples, and soon many people knew that the two of them were together.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the Soul Fighting Zone.
Xu Wei, who had just come out of the Soul Fighting Zone, widened his eyes instantly, staring intently at Kong Xuan and Meng Hongchen's tightly clasped hands.
He opened his mouth. "So... you're together? During the holidays?!"
Meng Hongchen's long-standing affection for Kong Xuan was naturally obvious to those around her.
Kong Xuan hadn't responded until now, but it seems the two have finally tied the knot after a holiday.
However, Xu Wei then muttered to himself, "What about Gu Yuena?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi, who was standing next to him, instinctively asked, "What, Gu Yuena?"
Xu Wei glanced at him, seeing the genuine confusion in his eyes, and said earnestly, " Old Xu, if you can't find a girlfriend in the future, it's definitely your problem!"
Xu Tianyi didn't take it seriously and scoffed, "Right now, cultivation is the most important thing to me!"
Xu Wei gave him a thumbs up. "No wonder you're a martial arts fanatic, but you'd better not regret it later."
At this moment, Kong Xuan and Meng Hongchen also saw the two of them and walked over slowly.
As the two approached, Xu Wei cupped his hands and smiled, " Brother Xuan, Senior Hongchen, congratulations!"
A hint of shyness flashed in Meng Hongchen's eyes upon hearing this, but her smile became even brighter.
Kong Xuan simply smiled and then asked, "How's your Soul Power after the holiday?"
"I have acquired my Fourth Soul Ring, and my Soul Power is now level 42."
When it came to his Soul Power cultivation, Xu Tianyi's usually stern face broke into a rare smile.
Xu Wei looked slightly dejected. "My Soul Power has just broken through to level thirty-nine, I'm afraid I won't be able to obtain my Fourth Soul Ring before the competition starts."
Kong Xuan patted his shoulder with his left hand. "You're only twelve years old, it's already very fast that your Soul Power has reached level thirty-nine."
Xu Wei forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, " Brother Xuan, this doesn't sound right coming from you. You're only a few months older than me, and you're already Soul King!"
Kong Xuan asked, "You want to compete with me?"
Xu Wei quickly waved his hand. "I can't compete! I can't compete! It's enough for me to be able to follow behind Brother Xuan."
" Kong Xuan!"
Just then, a familiar shout came from afar.
The crowd stopped talking and looked into the distance, following the sound.
A gentle breeze stirred, Gu Yuena's silver hair flowed like a galaxy, shimmering with tiny sparkles in the Yangguang.
She walked briskly through the crowd, and all the noise seemed to quiet down wherever she went.
Seeing Gu Yuena's noticeably more "lively" expression compared to before the holiday, the group felt somewhat uneasy.
Kong Xuan vaguely guessed the reason. Perhaps it was because of his parting words, "But it's only passable," that Gu Yuena spent a lot of time during the holiday studying how to be more like a person.
When did you get back?
Xu Wei called out, his gaze shifting back and forth between Gu Yuena and Meng Hongchen, secretly thinking that something interesting might be about to happen.
"Just got back."
After answering the question, Gu Yuena looked at Kong Xuan and said, "You can call me Na'er from now on."
Upon hearing her words, Kong Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and Meng Hongchen involuntarily tightened her grip on Kong Xuan's hand.
Xu Tianyi remained expressionless, while Xu Wei's eyes widened as he thought, " Xu Wei enough, seeing Brother Xuan and Senior Hongchen together, Gu Yuena couldn't sit still anymore and has already started making her move!"
Meng Hongchen, who had always regarded Gu Yuena as a major enemy, naturally became nervous, but then she remembered that she was now Kong Xuan's official girlfriend, and she had already taken the lead.
She then slightly raised her head, looking at the delicate silver-haired, purple-eyed girl opposite her with the air of a victor.
However, her act was clearly a charade for the blind.
Gu Yuena still has only a superficial understanding of human emotions and has not grasped Meng Hongchen's meaning at all.
Before Kong Xuan could speak, Gu Yuena looked at the others and said, "You can also call me Na'er."
Following Di Tian's advice, Gu Yuena, who had just returned, decided to start by changing how she addressed people.
This left the others somewhat puzzled, unsure of what Gu Yuena was really thinking.
Perhaps only Kong Xuan, who knows Gu Yuena's true identity, can guess some of her thoughts.
He looked at the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl opposite him and asked, " Na'er, we're about to go have lunch, do you want to come along?"
Kong Xuan readily accepted the advice and immediately addressed her as " Na'er ".
"OK!"
Gu Yuena shouted without hesitation, her purple pupils gleaming with excitement.
In the human world, all kinds of delicious food are probably the thing that attracts Gu Yuena the most.
Even though she had already tried all the dishes in the cafeteria, she was always the most enthusiastic when it came to eating.
Kong Xuan then looked at Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi and asked, "And you two?"
The two said in unison, "Let's go together!"
Then, the five of them headed from the Soul Fighting Zone to the cafeteria.
Gu Yuena looked at Kong Xuan and Meng Hongchen's tightly clasped hands, and at the look of happiness on Meng Hongchen's face. She wondered if this was the love that Di Tian had spoken of.
From its birth until now, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena must be hundreds of thousands of years old.
However, because she spends most of her time sleeping and healing, her mental age is not very old.
Perhaps it was a time for her to be a little rebellious, and she felt a strange urge to try the things that Di Tian had forbidden her from doing.
In fact, what others thought was Gu Yuena's "clinginess" to Kong Xuan was more because, in Gu Yuena's eyes, only Kong Xuan and she were of the same kind.
Gods and ordinary humans are completely different species, with a fundamental difference in Life alone.
At this moment, perhaps even Gu Yuena herself didn't realize that she had developed a little interest in Kong Xuan!
These are human emotions!
