After transmigrating into the body of the Jade Rat Spirit, I became Nezha's adopted sister.

"I'm so happy!" Bai Yeying put him down after spinning him around for a while, then leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. "My little Nezha is so cute!"

Nezha covered her forehead where she had been kissed, her little face flushed red, both embarrassed and annoyed: "Why did you kiss me again!"

Bai Yeying looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection.

Behind them, Li Jing and Lady Yin stared blankly at the scene, speechless for a long time.

They didn't know who this woman who suddenly appeared was, or why she was so protective of Nezha.

But they knew that from this day forward, their son belonged to someone else.

The front courtyard of the Li residence was in a mess, with servants slumped on the ground and maids still trembling.

Li Jing's sword-wielding hand fell limply, the tip of the sword touching the ground, as if all his strength had been drained from him.

Lady Yin staggered over and rushed over, pulling Nezha into her arms, tears streaming down her face.

"My son...my son..." she murmured incoherently, her whole body trembling.

Nezha felt a little uncomfortable being held so tightly by her, but for the first time, he didn't struggle. He turned his head, his gaze passing over his mother's shoulder and landing on that pale yellow figure.

Bai Yeying stood in the center of the messy courtyard, backlit, making her expression unreadable. She turned her head, met Nezha's gaze, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.

Nezha pursed his lips, but did not look away.

"Nezha!" Madam Yin suddenly remembered something, released him, and cupped his face in her hands to examine him carefully. "Are you injured? Does anything hurt? Tell your mother..."

"No," Nezha replied briefly, but raised his hand and wiped the tears from his mother's face with his sleeve.

Madam Yin was stunned, and then her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Li Jing walked over, looking at his son with a complex expression. He seemed about to say something, his lips moved, but in the end he only sighed deeply and said to her, "Thank you for your help today, young lady. May I ask your name? I, Li, will certainly..."

"No need," Bai Yeying waved her hand to interrupt him. "I'm not helping you, I'm helping him." She gestured with her chin toward Nezha, her tone casual.

Li Jing choked for a moment. He looked at Bai Yeying, then at his expressionless son, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Madam Yin, however, sensed something amiss. She wiped away her tears and asked cautiously, "Miss...do you know my son?"

Bai Yeying thought for a moment and nodded: "I guess you could say we know each other."

"When did you meet?" Madam Yin pressed.

"yesterday."

Lady Yin: "..."

Li Jing: "......"

How can someone you only met yesterday stand up to the Four Dragon Kings for you today?

What kind of divine friendship is this?

Ignoring their shock, Bai Yeying walked straight to Nezha, squatted down, and looked him in the eye.

The little boy still had tear tracks on his face. They weren't his; they were from Madam Yin. Her phoenix eyes were staring at her intently, their light astonishingly bright.

Are you scared?

Nezha shook his head.

"Are you scared?" she asked again, this time with a more serious tone.

Nezha was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Bai Yeying stared at him for three seconds, then smiled.

How could I not be afraid! No matter how strong I am, I'm still just a child!

She reached out and hugged him. Nezha, nestled in her arms, whispered, "A little."

Just a little bit.

Bai Yeying's heart softened a little. She patted his head and said gently, "It's okay."

Nezha looked up at him and suddenly asked, "Will they come back?"

Bai Yeying paused. Of course, she had thought about this question.

The Four Dragon Kings have returned defeated today, but given Ao Guang's temperament, he will never let this go easily.

What they feared was her strength and the potential harm to the dragon race if things escalated, not that they were truly afraid of her.

As long as she leaves, as long as Nezha is alone, they will definitely come back again.

She was a time traveler, and who knows when she might suddenly leave.

Bai Yeying narrowed her eyes, a dark glint in them: "Nezha, I have a question for you."

"Um?"

"Do you think those snakes should have been killed?"

Nezha was stunned. He looked at her, his phoenix eyes first showing surprise, then a sharp glint in them. He answered without hesitation, "Yes."

Why?

"They want to kill me, and everyone who wants to kill me deserves to die."

Bai Yeying smiled. This child was indeed the Nezha she knew. Forgiveness, pardon, repaying evil with good—none of these applied to him.

His reasoning was simple and direct: If you want to kill me, I'll kill you. It's a matter of course, and there's no arguing about it.

"Alright then." She stood up, patted her clothes, turned to look at him, her eyes crinkling, "Come on, I'll take you to slay the dragon."

Nezha's eyes suddenly lit up. He jumped up from the ground, ran to her side, looked up at her, and raised his voice several decibels: "Really?"

"real."

"Now?"

"Now."

Nezha clenched his little fists, and the Qiankun Ring on his wrist trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he couldn't wait any longer.

Bai Yeying reached out and wrapped her arms around Nezha's waist. With a swift movement, she soared into the sky!

The wind howled, and the sea of ​​clouds surged.

In a short while, they arrived at the East China Sea. Bai Yeying descended from the clouds and landed on a reef protruding from the sea: "We've arrived."

Nezha jumped down from her arms, stood on the edge of the reef, and looked down at the seawater at his feet.

The seawater was so deep that the bottom could not be seen, and one could vaguely sense the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from below.

"The Dragon Palace is down there?"

"Yes." Bai Yeying nodded. "Of the Four Seas Dragon Palaces, the East Sea is the most important. Ao Guang's old lair is located beneath this sea area."

Bai Yeying couldn't help but laugh at his eager expression. Her gaze returned to the sea, and her aura suddenly shifted.

It was a sharpness completely different from before. If she had been able to intimidate the Four Dragon Kings with ease just now, then...

At this moment, she was like a sharp sword about to be drawn, its edge fully revealed, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Nezha sensed that aura and became excited as well.

"Let's go." Bai Yeying raised her hand, and a beam of light enveloped the two of them. Then she leaped into the sea with Nezha in her arms!

The moment he entered the water, immense pressure surged from all directions. But the protective shield erected by Bai Yeting kept the seawater out, and Nezha only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.

Corals, schools of fish, seaweed, shipwrecks... countless scenes flashed by, as fast as a hazy dream.

After an unknown amount of time, a magnificent complex of buildings suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was a magnificent palace on the seabed, constructed entirely of white jade and coral, inlaid with countless luminous pearls and gemstones, radiating a dazzling light in the deep sea.

The palaces stretch for dozens of miles, with pavilions and towers standing side by side, their eaves and brackets exquisitely carved, and countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolling and shuttling among them.

Nezha stared at the magnificent palace, a mysterious light gleaming in his phoenix eyes.

Bai Yeying looked down at him, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You want to burn it?"

Nezha looked up at her, didn't say anything, but his eyes lit up.

"Alright, I'll burn it in a bit." As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it, sending a sharp beam of light straight towards the main gate of the Dragon Palace!

boom!!!

The light struck the main gate of the Dragon Palace, unleashing a deafening roar.

The coral gate tower, adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, collapsed with a deafening roar, stirring up a massive wave of water that overturned countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who screamed in agony.

"Who dares to trespass into the Dragon Palace!" a patrolling Yaksha shouted sternly.
