Douluo Dragon King: The Blue Silver Divine Tree, The Holy Dragon Devours the Heavens

Watching the thugs disappear into the street, Xu Mengqing breathed a slight sigh of relief and retracted the Blue Silver Grass into her body.

He appeared fierce and fearless, but inside he was terrified.

With a weak martial spirit and low soul power, even with the Holy Light Lizard, he might be able to defeat a few people, but he would probably have to pay a considerable price.

Xu Mengqing turned his gaze to the little girl he was protecting behind him.

Are you alright?

The little girl looked up at him, and her big purple eyes looked even more beautiful.

Seemingly sensing that Xu Mengqing meant no harm, Na'er shook her head.

"My name is Xu Mengqing, what's your name?"

Xu Mengqing smiled warmly and asked, feigning ignorance.

"name......?"

Upon hearing Xu Mengqing's words, Na'er blinked her beautiful purple eyes a few times, her voice sounding hesitant, as if she were recalling something.

"Na'er! My name is Na'er!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Na'er finally seemed to remember something and responded in her melodious, bell-like voice.

"Na'er? That's a beautiful name! And your voice is just as lovely!"

Hearing Na'er's pleasant voice, Xu Mengqing smiled faintly and spoke.

"Thank you... thank you for helping me just now!"

Upon hearing Xu Mengqing's words, Na'er's pretty face flushed slightly, and she replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, her heartbeat quickening slightly.

For some reason, she felt that Xu Mengqing had a very familiar aura and a pleasant scent, as if... she had met a relative.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

"Oh? By the way, Na'er, why are you here? Did you get separated from your family?"

Na'er shook her head.

"I can't remember."

As she tried to recall her memories, she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if something was blocking her way. She could only shake her head and answer hesitantly.

Looking at Na'er's adorable, earnestly contemplative expression, Xu Mengqing couldn't help but feel a touch of affection in her eyes.

This young silver dragon king is absolutely adorable!

It's really hard to imagine what a stunningly beautiful woman she will be when she grows up!

The title of the most beautiful woman in Douluo Continent is truly well-deserved.

Glug~ Glug~

Just then, a somewhat discordant sound suddenly came from Na'er's cute little belly.

Hearing her stomach's uncooperative protest, Na'er's pretty face flushed slightly, like a bright red apple, and her head involuntarily lowered slightly.

"Na'er, are you hungry? If you can't remember, why don't you come to my house with me first? My mom's cooking is really good! We can ask them to help you find your parents later. It's better than you just waiting here alone." Xu Mengqing said, extending her hand.

Looking into Xu Mengqing's concerned eyes and outstretched hand, and feeling the faint sense of warmth emanating from him, Na'er hesitated for a second before extending her own fair, smooth hand to shake hands with Xu Mengqing and following beside him.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

......

Less than a minute after Zhang Ran led Na'er away from the alley.

A little boy with short black hair, slightly taller than his peers, with big, clear black and white eyes and long eyelashes, was none other than Tang Wulin.

At this moment, he was in high spirits on his way home from school, but suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his chest, a sense of loss, as if something precious had been taken away.

"Huh, this is strange. What's wrong with me today? Oh well, I'd better hurry home. My parents are waiting for me to eat!"

Although he felt something was off, the little boy, or rather, Xiao Wulin, didn't think too much about it. He quickly calmed down and then skipped and hopped on his way home.

……

"Mom, I'm home!"

Xu Mengqing pushed open the door and called out loudly.

Hearing the noise, Meng Ling'er peeked out from the kitchen and immediately saw her son and the unfamiliar little girl he was carefully leading.

The girl's short silver hair was a little messy. Although Xu Mengqing had wiped her face, her clothes were still covered in dust. Her large, amethyst-like eyes looked over timidly, with a bewildered look of lingering fear, yet strangely beautiful.

Meng Ling'er paused for a moment, then put down what she was holding, wiped her hands, and walked over, asking gently, "You're back, Xiao Qing. Is this... your new classmate?"

Xu Mengqing shook her head, tilted her little face up, and asked seriously, "No, Mom, I found her on the road."

"Found it?" Meng Ling'er asked in confusion.

"Mom, it's like this..." Xu Mengqing vividly recounted what had just happened to her.

Upon hearing his words, Meng Ling'er's expression changed drastically. She pulled Xu Mengqing in front of her and quickly checked his body. Only after finding that he was not injured did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"You child. Do you know how dangerous that is? How could you..." Meng Ling'er's breathing was obviously a little rapid. She knew very well that those young people in the streets of the slums were capable of anything.

"Mom, don't worry! You know me... I'm fine."

"You..." Meng Ling'er looked at the confidence in her son's big eyes and could no longer say anything to blame him.

Xu Mengqing has been very smart since she was a child, sigh~

Xu Mengqing smiled and leaned forward, hugging her mother's leg. "Mom, Na'er and I are hungry. Can you make us something delicious?"

Meng Ling'er had absolutely no temper with her adorable and well-behaved son. When she saw Na'er behind Xu Mengqing looking so pitiful, her heart softened instantly.

She crouched down, looked Na'er in the eye, and asked in a softer voice, "Little girl, can you tell Auntie your name? And where are your parents? Have you gotten separated from them?"

Na'er simply pursed her lips tightly, her violet eyes lowered, her long eyelashes trembling, and her small hands unconsciously clenched Xu Mengqing's fingers, remaining silent.

The helplessness and barely perceptible fear revealed in that silence made Meng Ling'er, as a mother, feel a pang in her heart.

She sighed softly and didn't press the matter further.

The child may have her own difficulties if she doesn't want to talk about it.

"Never mind that for now. Look at your dirty face, and your clothes too... Come on, let Auntie take you to take a bath first."

She stood up and instructed Xu Mengqing, "Xiaoqing, go to your room and find some of your outgrown but clean clothes. Change your little sister into them first."

"Okay!" Xu Mengqing replied, releasing Na'er's hand and giving her an encouraging smile. "Na'er, don't be afraid, my mom is very kind. You go take a shower with Mom first, and I'll help you find some clothes."

Na'er looked at Xu Mengqing, then at the kind-faced Meng Ling'er, and finally loosened her tightly clenched fingers, letting Meng Ling'er take her other small hand and lead her to the bathroom.

Xu Mengqing then turned and ran to her small room, where she began searching for suitable clothes.

His body grew faster than normal after his martial soul awakened, so he did have quite a few clothes that were only half-new but already too small.

Soon, the sound of running water and Meng Ling'er's soft voice came from the bathroom.

Xu Mengqing found some clothes and placed them at the bathroom door, then returned to the living room by herself.
