Douluo Continent: God Descends

Chapter 138 Na'er: Without comparison, there is no harm.

"Bang!"

A dull gust of wind from the punch exploded in mid-air, and a straight punch carrying condensed soul power struck the side of the jaw precisely.

The silver-haired, silver-eyed girl was like a silver butterfly with a broken string. Her body was lifted into the air and spun half a circle by that enormous force before crashing heavily to the ground, with a few strands of her silver hair scattered and clinging to her cheeks.

Lu Xingchen stood still, his knuckles still faintly glowing with soul power. This clean and decisive victory completely confirmed his identity as the senior brother.

Na'er's budding dream of becoming a senior sister was nipped in the bud by this punch before it could even take root.

The outcome has already been decided.

Inside the small wooden house of Yunming and his wife.

The soft fabric sofa in the living room did little to soothe Na'er's sullen mood.

She sat side by side with Lu Xingchen, her slender, pale fingertips gently rubbing under her right eye. She couldn't help but gasp when her fingertips touched her skin. Her almond-shaped eyes glared at the boy beside her, her sweet voice tinged with reproach: "Ouch~ You bastard, it's just a friendly spar, why are you hitting me in the face like that!"

Even though Ya Li's healing soul power had already soothed the bruises under her skin, Na'er still felt a clear phantom pain whenever she thought of that moment, as if there was still a purplish-blue mark next to her right eye, which was very unsightly.

This damned fellow has absolutely no mercy for women!

Just now, she was only slightly stunned by the sudden burst of power from the Dragon God Bracelet, but this guy showed no sportsmanship and punched her right eye socket with a force that was far more brutal than a friendly spar.

If it weren't for her master's wife's unparalleled healing abilities, she was certain that her right eye would be swollen shut right now.

You launched a sneak attack! You can't take a joke! What kind of despicable senior brother is this!

"cough!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen coughed lightly, but his tone was deliberately nonchalant: "Isn't it because Junior Sister Na'er's offensive is too fierce? Facing an opponent like you, how dare I hold back? If I'm not careful, I'll be the one who loses."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of luminous, pale green soul power emanated from his fingertips, carrying a light, fresh scent of grass and trees. He gently covered Na'er's cheek, rubbing the painful spot with extremely light movements.

Because he has been absorbing the primordial energy of the Tree of Life for many years, his soul power is imbued with a rich life force. Although it is not as direct as Ya Li's healing power, it can gently dispel lingering pain and soothe the body.

I don't believe you for a second!

Na'er inwardly scoffed and immediately rolled her eyes at him, her silver eyes gleaming with disbelief. Yet, she hesitated to slap away his warm hand, instead letting his fingertips gently caress her cheek.

"Don't call me junior sister, just call me Na'er." She pouted, her voice softening slightly.

The silver-haired girl comfortably narrowed her silver eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. She had to admit to herself that although this cheap senior brother was a bit annoying, his massage technique was surprisingly good.

Even the faint aura of grass and trees mixed with the dragon's might emanating from him gave people a sense of security.

It should be noted that both Gu Yue and Lu Xingchen have always disliked physical contact with others, but at this moment, when Lu Xingchen was rubbing her cheeks like this, she felt strangely not at all repulsed, but rather felt a kind of inexplicable closeness.

Was it because the silver dragon bloodline in his body made him, as the Silver Dragon King, feel a sense of familiarity?

Or is it because of the dragon god bracelet on his right hand?

Na'er's gaze unconsciously drifted to the Dragon God Bracelet on Lu Xingchen's wrist, and a hint of helplessness from toothache flashed in her silver eyes.

Those idiots!

She had only released a tiny bit of dragon might during the duel, intending to suppress it slightly with her bloodline, but the dragon souls in her bracelet all exerted their power, secretly helping an outsider to deal with her, the real Silver Dragon King.

Is this reasonable?

Who is the real Silver Dragon King?

Na'er grew angrier the more she thought about it. She bared her little white teeth, raised her small foot clad in white socks, and gently kicked the boy's thigh twice with her toes. The force was not great; it was more like a spoiled venting.

"Na'er—you're repaying kindness with enmity!"

Lu Xingchen felt the slight tremor in her legs, but he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he went along with her words and called her name very naturally, which was quite infuriating.

"Hmph~ Mind your own business."

Na'er raised her chin, speaking with self-righteousness, "As a senior brother, I should be more generous and give way to my junior sister."

As she spoke, she simply lifted her fair and slender legs and placed them directly on Lu Xingchen's thighs, her silver eyes curving into sly crescents: "Now, in the name of my junior sister, I order you to massage my feet."

Lu Xingchen looked at her short legs, speechless. "Whose junior sister are you? So wild, daring to order your senior brother around? Besides, you were just sparring outside, your feet must be sweaty. Don't you want to pinch them!"

After saying that, he reached out and gently pushed the lower leg down.

Na'er persisted, lifting her leg up again and snorting, "I did sweat a little, but what does that have to do with massaging my feet? I didn't ask you to give me a full-body massage."

"I won't squeeze it, I'm afraid it will absorb the smell."

"smell?"

Na'er raised an eyebrow, looking proud. "I'm naturally beautiful and smell wonderful all over. You should be secretly happy to have my scent on you."

"Stop being narcissistic, I just find you smelly."

"Smells bad? Impossible!"

As Na'er spoke, she simply raised her leg even higher, bringing the toe of her sock close to Lu Xingchen's face, full of confidence: "If you don't believe me, smell it, my feet definitely don't smell."

The white ankle socks are made of a sheer, translucent material, and the outline of the girl's toes is clearly visible beneath the sheer fabric. The rounded curves are slightly raised, and the staggered shapes are faintly visible beneath the socks.

"Alas"

However, Lu Xingchen grabbed the section of leg with a look of disgust, pushed it aside, and frowned: "How disgusting! You actually let someone smell your feet."

"Hmph~ I'm just proving my innocence."

Na'er, neck stiff and self-righteous, said, "If you hadn't made false accusations first, would I be in this situation? Enough nonsense. If you won't massage my feet, then massage my shoulders as an apology for slapping me in the face."

"You're accusing me of forcing a sale? And when did I ever make false accusations?"

"You're falsely accusing me of having smelly feet, but you can't provide any evidence. What else is that but slander?"

As Na'er spoke, she defiantly brought her little feet, clad in white socks, closer to Lu Xingchen's face, almost touching his nose.

"You win!" Lu Xingchen turned his head to dodge, looking at the girl's cunning appearance, he finally gave in, his tone full of helplessness.

"Hmph~"

Seeing the boy's sullen and pouting expression, Na'er proudly raised her chin, pulled her leg back, and the frustration in her heart finally dissipated.

Their eyes met, and the slight awkwardness they felt when they first became sworn brothers and sisters completely vanished during their playful banter.

Na'er glanced slightly at the boy beside her. The polite, fake smile she had shown when they first met was gone from her silver eyes. Instead, a genuine curiosity and familiarity had appeared in them.

This guy's personality doesn't seem too bad. Perhaps, we might actually get along surprisingly well.

Suddenly, she sniffed lightly, and a very faint, familiar scent wafted from Lu Xingchen. Na'er's silver eyes narrowed slightly.

This taste...it's kind of like Gu Yue!

Gu Yue, did he contact him?

A question arose in her mind, and Na'er's right hand subconsciously reached into the pocket at her waist. When her fingertips touched the rough and strange paper texture, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The contents of this parchment are actually quite accurate.

She actually lost to this guy. Although it was because of the Dragon God Bracelet, a loss is a loss, and there is no room for explanation.

Na'er pondered to herself that, according to the clues she received when she first obtained the human skin paper, her battle with Lu Xingchen should have taken place when she was ten years old.

Back then, when Ya Li's teacher would bring Lu Xingchen to Seagod Island, she felt that he had taken away her teacher's teacher's affection, so she challenged him out of spite, and ended up suffering a crushing defeat.

If she had approached him with the same mindset back then, and combined that with the unexpected use of the Dragon God Bracelet, he might indeed have had a chance to defeat her.

Otherwise, according to the original future trajectory, Lu Xingchen should have left Shrek City when he was nine years old. She, on the other hand, lingered in Shrek City for a long time until Gu Yue sent her to Shrek Academy, and the two of them were perfectly separated from each other from beginning to end.

But now, because she became the disciple of the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming ahead of time, her future trajectory has completely deviated, and this battle has also arrived ahead of schedule. However, she did not expect that she would still lose in the end.

Thinking of this, Na'er felt a surge of resentment.

She took the initiative to challenge him not only because she didn't want to give up her pride as a senior sister, but also because she wanted to personally test Lu Xingchen's abilities and see if he could defeat her in the future.

But the result?

This guy is a complete scoundrel of a gearhead! If it weren't for that Dragon God Bracelet, she could have easily subdued him with one hand!

Everything that's happening now seems to match the contents of the parchment, but there's still one thing that Na'er remains unsure about.

That was the reason for her conflict with Lu Xingchen in the original timeline—she felt that he had taken away the love and care of her teacher's wife, Ya Li.

Although she had only been a disciple of Yun Ming for a few days, Na'er genuinely liked Ya Li from the bottom of her heart. From her master's wife, she experienced a long-lost warmth like that of a mother. If they spent more time together, her relationship with the Holy Spirit Douluo would surely become even closer.

But she considered herself not to be a jealous person, so why would she challenge Lu Xingchen over such a trivial matter?

Na'er's eyes darkened as she gently stroked the parchment in her pocket with her fingertips.

It seems that the contents of this parchment are not entirely accurate and should only be used as a reference; they should not be taken as gospel.

Just then, a gentle figure walked into the living room. Her long, dark green hair cascaded down her back, and the stunningly beautiful Ya Li looked at the two little ones playing on the sofa. A gentle smile played on her lips as she gently beckoned, "Little Star, Na'er, come and eat."

"Okay, Sister Ya-li!"

"Okay, Mrs. Ya-li."

Two responses rang out simultaneously, and the boy and girl immediately walked towards the dining table.

On the dining table, dishes were neatly arranged, emitting an enticing aroma.

Emerald cloud gauze with swallows, frost reflecting the moon and star-like spots, dome-shaped lava golden soup —

Each dish is prepared by Yali using a variety of rare ingredients, containing abundant energy that is incomparable to ordinary food.

Yali smiled slightly and said, "Eat quickly, you're all at the age where you're growing, you can't lack nutrition."

.

Despite being a titled Douluo, Ya Li possesses culinary skills that are on par with the pinnacle. After all, she grew up in the slums, so her respect for food naturally far surpasses that of ordinary people.

In addition, as a healing-type Soul Master, she doesn't usually need to participate in battles, so she has a lot of free time to practice her cooking skills.

In an instant, Lu Xingchen and Na'er started eating.

Yun Ming and Ya Li sat to the side with their bowls and chopsticks, not in a hurry to eat. Their eyes were fixed on the two children, their eyes filled with an unyielding kindness, and even their soul energy aura softened.

This little wooden house hadn't had such a lively and bustling atmosphere in a long time. A warm feeling quietly welled up in Ya Li's heart, and she thought to herself that taking in two disciples was indeed the right choice.

"Oh right, the main course should be ready by now. I'll go get it." Yali suddenly remembered something, smiled, and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

Before long, she came out carrying a large silver platter engraved with intertwined branches. On the platter lay a fist-sized golden dumpling, its surface gleaming with a warm golden light. Even the air was filled with a unique aroma of herbs and meat.

"Here comes today's grand finale."

Yali gently placed the silver plate in the center of the dining table, picked up a gleaming white jade knife, and with a flick of her wrist, the gold nugget was neatly sliced ​​open with a few soft swishes.

The layers of golden leaves unfolded with a thud, revealing a glistening, oily chicken leg wrapped inside. Amber sauce clung to the distinct texture of the meat, making one's mouth water with its aroma.

Lu Xingchen stared intently at the golden leaf, its veins clearly visible, radiating a faint life force, and it looked somewhat familiar.

He stared at the leaf for a long time, then his eye twitched. This was no ordinary leaf; it was clearly the lifeblood of Shrek Academy: the leaf of the Golden Ancient Tree!

Yali actually used it to wrap chicken legs before roasting, that's really something!

"Come on, don't be shy, try my cooking." Yali smiled and picked up a shiny chicken leg, handing it to the table.

"Thanks----"

Na'er instinctively picked up her bowl and chopsticks, reaching out to take the chicken leg. Before she could finish speaking, Ya Li gently tilted her hand and placed the chicken leg steadily in Lu Xingchen's bowl, smiling and saying, "Little Xingchen is a boy, and it's the time when his bones are growing. He needs to eat more meat to nourish himself."

"Thank you, Sister Yali."

Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently, the chicken leg in the bowl glistening temptingly.

Yali picked up another chicken leg, and Na'er's eyes rekindled with anticipation. She picked up her bowl and chopsticks again to meet it, but Yali's hand once again bypassed her and landed precisely in Lu Xingchen's bowl.

One, two, three —

Lu Xingchen's white porcelain bowl quickly became piled high with chicken legs, and the sauce dripped slightly down the rim. He looked at the chicken legs in the bowl, then at Na'er beside him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Yali picked up the last chicken leg from the plate, then turned to Na'er, who was staring longingly at her, and put the chicken leg into her bowl, her tone still gentle: "Na'er is also at the age where she is growing, so we can't neglect her. Remember to eat more meat."

,,

Na'er looked at the lone chicken leg in her bowl, then glanced at the mountain of chickens in Lu Xingchen's bowl, and suddenly understood why her future self would be hostile to Lu Xingchen.

Damn it, this isn't just taking away most of the love, it's blatant theft!

Without comparison, there is no harm!

Compared to Lu Xingchen, Na'er instantly felt like she was born to a stepmother.

Although Yali wasn't her teacher, Na'er still felt a little unhappy about having her affection taken away from her!

Senior brother, right?! I'll remember this debt.

Na'er silently ate her rice, then secretly made a mental note of Lu Xingchen's name.
