"In the book," Na'er replied casually.

"Huh? What book?" Qian Gu Xing Ci was shocked and full of confusion. Would the Star Dou Academy's textbooks teach these things?

“The Name - Star Luo Chapter!” Na’er said frankly, with a hint of regret in her voice. “But I don’t know what happened to the author of this book. I’ve been looking forward to the Sun and Moon Chapter, but there’s still no news.”

Qian Gu Xing Ci raised his hand, subconsciously trying to push up the glasses that didn't even exist. Only one thought remained in his mind: So that's how it is. It was the wicked Xing Luo people who poisoned this girl! This must be reported!

The Spirit Pagoda is not a ruler; such things are not for them to think about!

Gu Yue, standing to the side, had bright, sparkling eyes. "Xing Ci, is there something wrong with this book?"

He cleared his throat and earnestly advised, "This kind of book must have been written by a spy from Xingluo, hiding in the publishing house, with the aim of poisoning the future of the Spirit Pagoda. Listen to me, we won't read it anymore."

The ancient star's words were so reasonable and well-founded that Na'er actually believed them and obediently nodded.

Gu Yue secretly made up her mind to have Di Tian and the others look for it later.

The noble Silver Dragon King would never admit that she felt isolated because she and Qian Gu Xing Ci had nothing in common.

The silver-haired girl was selectively ignored.

She and Xingci were clearly childhood sweethearts who had been together longer!

Na'er was destined to fail as a latecomer, which would eventually shatter her humanity.

The Dragon King returns and wins the heart of a handsome man!

Qian Gu Xing Ci looked at Gu Yue, who was unusually grinning foolishly, and said, "Gu Yue, is there something that's making you happy? You can't keep this to yourself!"

Gu Yue smoothed her wind-blown black hair. "I've already thought of a name for my future."

Upon hearing this, Na'er's ahoge stood up, and she instantly activated her immortal aura to eavesdrop on his thoughts.

"Of course, it's the name of the future... four-character battle armor!"

Gu Yue quickly took out a candied hawthorn to shut Na'er up, and smiled awkwardly to cover up her embarrassment.

At the same time, he glared fiercely at Na'er, as if he would flip the table and tell her to stop playing if she dared to say anything.

Qian Gu Xing Ci hurriedly pulled the two Silver Dragon Kings apart, who seemed about to tear each other apart at any moment, and tried to reason with them.

This is no easy task; you have to be fair and impartial!

Afterwards, the three of them wandered through the streets and alleys of Donghai City, heading towards the restaurant they had planned to visit. Not far behind them, two teams of Spirit Pagoda enforcers followed at a distance, neither disturbing their shopping enjoyment nor hindering their journey.

Before long, the three arrived at an old street full of life. Shops lined both sides of the street, and the aroma of various foods mingled together, wafting in the air and making people's mouths water.

"Braised Beef in a Pot"

Qian Gu Xingci raised his eyes and looked at a faded, old-fashioned shop sign on the side of the street.

The number one must-eat dish in Dou San!

This braised beef stew shop isn't big. The stove is set up right by the street, with nearly a hundred fire holes on it. Each fire hole holds a copper-yellow earthenware pot for stewing beef. The rich aroma of beef rises up, making the lid of the pot hum. The enticing fragrance attracts the attention of passersby.

The shop owner was a middle-aged man with an apron stained with oil around his waist. When he saw the two of them coming, he immediately greeted them with a big smile and invited them to sit down. Before long, stewed beef, refreshing side dishes, rice and drinks were served one after another.

"These side dishes are all free; children can eat as much as they want," the owner said warmly.

The three children exchanged glances, then reached out and lifted the lid of the earthenware pot. Large chunks of beef floated in the amber-colored broth, soaking up the sauce and gleaming with an enticing honey-colored sheen. Qian Gu Xing Ci picked up a trembling piece of beef, the broth dripping down it, forming delicate golden threads, and savored it slowly.

Just as the three were enjoying their meal, a gruff voice suddenly shattered the warm atmosphere of the small shop.

"Old Li, it's time to pay this month's protection fee!"

Mr. Li's face turned deathly pale instantly, and the other customers in the store also looked frightened. They were all regulars on this food street and naturally knew who the newcomer was.

Several burly men barged into the shop, led by a bald, strong man with a lifelike, ferocious dragon tattoo on his bare arms, making him look menacing.

This bald man is none other than Guanglong, the local thug leader who bullies men and women in this area!

"Guanglong, my wife is very ill. The little money I make from this braised beef isn't even enough to cover her medical expenses. Could you please give me a little more time?" Boss Li rubbed his hands together, pleading with a cautious tone.

"You keep making excuses all the time, do you think I, Guanglong, am a beggar?" Guanglong said impatiently, his tone fierce.

Before he finished speaking, he kicked the stove facing the street hard, overturning it. The earthenware pots fell to the ground one after another and shattered into pieces, spilling boiling meat soup all over the ground. The once thriving little shop was instantly turned into a mess.

Ordinary people are completely powerless against a Soul Master. Looking at the mess on the ground, Boss Li's eyes were filled with sorrow. He mustered his courage and said, "Guanglong, have you forgotten? Last time, Guangbiao was defeated in public by the teachers of Donghai Academy because you offended three students. And now you still dare to come out and collect protection money!"

"How dare you bring this up again!"

Guanglong was hit where it hurt, and his eyes instantly turned fierce. He raised his hand to attack Boss Li, but out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught sight of Qian Gu Xing Ci, Gu Yue and Na'er sitting to the side.

"Ha, where did this little brat come from again?"

Guanglong glanced at them and saw three; there shouldn't be any major problems.

Having been terrified by the students from Donghai Academy last time, Guanglong inexplicably triggered PTSD upon seeing the children. He crossed his arms, walked arrogantly up to the two, and looked down at them, saying:

I have a question for you!

Are you students from Donghai Academy?

"roll."

"woohoo"

Two voices rang out simultaneously, their tones icy and utterly emotionless.

The sobbing that followed ruined the atmosphere.

Gu Yue was just about to feed them to strengthen their bond.

Plans go smoothly, but unexpected changes can occur!

The Dragon King is furious!

Qian Gu Xing Ci knew that this light dragon was truly too extraordinary!

Na'er swallowed her food with difficulty, feeling heartbroken as she looked at the shattered earthenware pot and spilled beef soup on the ground. The Silver Dragon Spear was already quietly gathering power in her palm.

For Na'er, the evil of wasting food was only slightly less than that of Gu Yue.

Guanglong had never been so defied by two children, and he immediately flew into a rage.

Having learned his lesson from being beaten up last time, he was smarter this time, and his martial spirit instantly possessed him—Ironclad Dragon!

His exposed skin instantly turned iron-gray, and raised iron-gray scales grew on his neck. Two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, slowly rose up, and the spirit power of a level 27 Great Spirit Master exploded without reservation.

Before he could make a move, several soul-conducting rods were already pressed against his body, and several figures rushed out instantly. They were the Spirit Pagoda Enforcement Team that had been secretly guarding him.

"How dare you! The Star Luo spy dares to commit such atrocities in Donghai City! Arrest him immediately!" The enforcement captain shouted, unconsciously using the strange words he had just heard, even he was stunned for a moment.

A moment later, the enforcement captain strode up to Qian Gu Xing Ci, bowed respectfully, and said, "Sir, it's all taken care of."

Qian Gu Xing Ci raised his eyes and glanced at Guang Long and the others who were unconscious on the ground, and said indifferently, "Well done."

The enforcement team members withdrew in response, remaining to secretly protect the shop from the outside. Several team members dragged Guanglong and his gang of underlings towards the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

This little incident ended in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Li stared at the scene before him for a long time before he reacted. He quickly walked up to the two of them, thanking them profusely, and then busied himself serving them several free side dishes, insisting on giving them to them.

The three little ones walked out of the shop, greeted by the owner's farewell.

Along the way, Na'er looked around, devouring all kinds of delicious food on the street.

"Grilled East China Sea prawns and braised prawns in oil have different flavors, so I bought them."

These two are different sizes, so the meat quality must be different.

King crabs! Wow, they're huge! Eight, please, boss!

Upon hearing that a big business had arrived, the boss beamed with joy, "Miss, your king crab."

Na'er carried the bag with one hand, looking charming and lovely.

The ancients were right: if the hardware is top-notch, even accessories become high-end.

Qian Gu Xing Ci silently gave it a thumbs up.

“Xingci has one, I have one; Guyue has one, I have one; Lengyi has one, I have one; I have one, I have one.”

Qian Gu Xing Ci and Gu Yue exchanged a glance, their eyes twitching.

The legendary story of Na Xiao'er dividing crabs!

"Xingci, look how good I am. And Guyue, I'm magnanimous and bought you both gifts."

Na'er tilted her little face up, her eyes shining like they were studded with starlight, her little chin slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth turned up high. Her face was practically screaming "Praise me!" She looked smug and begging for praise.

Qian Gu Xing Ci stepped forward helplessly and touched the soft silver hair, "Our Na'er is the most sensible."

Gu Yue, standing to the side, was completely stunned. Her cool eyes widened slightly, and she was momentarily dumbfounded, her mind filled with outrageous shock.

His eyes held three parts confusion, five parts bewilderment, and two parts anger.

That's it?

Then what about all those little schemes and careful considerations she had been secretly plotting before?

Does that count as her hard work?

Gu Yue silently grumbled to herself, her pretty face full of bewildered surprise, as if she couldn't help but laugh or cry.

The king will not cry, the king will not be angry, the king cannot bear it, the king will descend from heaven!

She quietly tiptoed, gently placing her soft little hand on Qian Gu Xing Ci's head. Her sleeve slipped down, revealing a section of her fair and slender arm. She said in a soft tone, "Our Xing Ci is the best-behaved one!"

Upon hearing this, Na'er froze, her bright eyes widening in shock, her smile fading, her face displaying a look of utter astonishment that seemed to say, "I don't know you" and "Who are you?" It was as if she was seeing Gu Yue like this for the first time, and she even forgot to put her hands on her hips.

Na'er swore on her memories from her time as the Silver Dragon King that the evil Gu Yue would never make such an expression, never!

Gu Yue didn't pay any attention to Na'er's reaction. She gently rubbed Qian Gu Xing Ci's purple-gold hair, which was as beautiful as stars, with her fingertips. A strange feeling inexplicably rose in her heart. It was warm, soft, and very satisfying.

That's right, this is motherly love! You've fallen in love!

If Gu Yue knew, she would definitely say:

The wise do not fall into the trap of love. Love is romantic love, what does it have to do with maternal love!

And so, a particularly comical scene unfolded on the bustling street: three delicate young boys and girls, as exquisite as porcelain dolls, stood in a small row. Gu Yue tiptoed and touched Qian Gu Xing Ci's head, while Qian Gu Xing Ci helplessly lowered his eyes and touched Na Er's head, and Na Er frowned.

It attracted frequent glances from passersby.

Among the pedestrians, the boy with big eyes was slightly stunned, feeling something about the two girls that attracted him, but when he tried to get closer, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Wu Lin, what's gotten into her?" Xie Xie teased from the side.
