"No, no, I want a drink." Na'er stood with her hands on her hips, her small head shaking back and forth. How could anything here taste as good as human drinks?
"Alright, then." Bi Ji felt helpless; those things weren't healthy.
However, she still obeyed the command.
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and walked toward the human city, her figure as light and graceful as a butterfly.
Bi Ji had only taken two steps when Arthur called out to stop her: "Senior, there's no need to trouble yourself."
He raised his hand and pulled various drinks out of his storage spirit tool, handing them to Na'er. "Here, pick one."
If it were tea or something similar, Arthur certainly wouldn't have any. But when it came to drinks, he had plenty.
He usually enjoyed drinking a few sips of things with additives.
At the same time, Arthur grumbled under his breath, "Tone it down a bit. Do you really think of this as your own home?"
It's hard work pretending I haven't noticed your special identities, you know.
Upon hearing this, Na'er, who had just taken a drink, froze.
Her fingers tightened unconsciously around the bottle, causing the cap to slightly deform under the pressure.
She took a secret peek at Arthur. Seeing that his expression was the same as usual and didn't look like he had actually discovered anything, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she still instinctively reined in the pampered aura she had been unconsciously emitting. Her small head drooped as she mumbled, "I... I just think it's quite nice here."
Despite her words, she didn't dare stand with her hands on her hips and give orders like before. Instead, she obediently twisted open the bottle and took small sips.
Her eyes occasionally flickered toward Arthur, as if observing his reaction.
Seeing her "guilty conscience" look, Arthur couldn't help but find it funny, but he didn't call her out. He simply reached out and ruffled her hair.
Suddenly, Arthur felt a familiar movement from the Holy Spear within his body.
He knew this meant it was condensing a spirit ring on its own again.
The hand ruffling Na'er's hair paused for a moment before he withdrew it. "Since we've had enough fun, let's pack up and head back to East Sea City."
Arthur looked at Bi Ji and Xiong Jun, who were trying hard to look calm. He bowed his head and spoke naturally, "Thank you for taking care of us, Seniors. We'll take our leave now."
Bi Ji nodded with a smile, a hint of reluctance in her eyes. "Safe travels. You're welcome to visit again anytime."
Xiong Jun also felt a sense of relief. He scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "If Young Miss Na'er wants a drink, I'll prepare more next time."
Arthur then looked at Gu Yue: "Are you coming with us? Or are you staying home?"
Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she nodded gently. "I'll go with you." She had sensed the change in Arthur.
Though she didn't know what it was, she could feel the earth elements beginning to cheer, spontaneously catering to Arthur.
Seeing that Gu Yue was about to leave, Di Tian had to reveal himself.
He appeared abruptly and bowed in farewell: "Safe travels, Young Lord."
Gu Yue nodded slightly.
After the group left, new Vicious Beasts began appearing in the valley, and it suddenly became noisy.
"Hey, Xiong Jun, how did it feel to be ordered around by Lord Na'er?"
Xiong Jun had a simple, honest look on his face. "It felt great."
"You're doing fine."
Another Vicious Beast spoke up: "I just saw Di Tian running so fast; he was really spooked by the Lord."
Di Tian's expression nearby was unsightly; he felt miserable. Na'er's call of 'Grandpa' had almost made his life flash before his eyes.
Bi Ji covered her mouth and chuckled, walking over to Di Tian to offer a few words of comfort, but in the end, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Di Tian's face immediately darkened further.
"Hahaha!" Xiong Jun got excited. "Di Tian, I saw your legs shaking just now!"
"Lord Na'er must be teaching you a lesson. Hmph, you're doomed sooner or later!"
"Shut up!" Di Tian's face was livid. His vertical pupils swept across the beasts, and the space around him fluctuated slightly. The surrounding Vicious Beasts immediately stifled their laughter in fear, though they still couldn't help but snicker secretly.
Bi Ji watched this lively scene, shook her head helplessly, and smiled to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. Lord Na'er is young and has a lively personality; she just said it casually."
...Back in East Sea City, before Arthur could explore the changes in the Holy Spear, Agravaine appeared.
His face was pale, as if he had received some kind of shock.
"What's wrong with you?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.
Agravaine's eyes were complicated. After a long silence, he sighed, "This Gu Yue's Family... they are not simple."
"I was following behind you earlier."
"I discovered that there were countless experts hidden in that valley."
"At the very least, they were all Titled Douluos."
"I never expected, truly never expected, that there was such a powerful force hidden in the Douluo Continent."
"It seems these Hidden Families really cannot be underestimated."
Recalling when he was hiding in the shadows, he had constantly changed positions, only to find that someone was already lurking in each spot.
Those were the places where the other Vicious Beasts were hiding. There were only so many hiding spots in the valley, so Agravaine naturally bumped into them.
At the same time, while he was observing secretly, Di Tian had glanced at him. That terrifying pressure...
The pressure was truly maxed out.
"That Grand Elder of Gu Yue's Family is definitely a Limit Douluo!" Agravaine made his judgment.
Looking at his uncle with pity, Arthur sighed and patted his shoulder. "Alright, alright, it's fine. Don't be afraid."
"You brat." Agravaine's face went from pale to black in an instant. "How dare you act so impudently with your elder!"
Arthur's shoulders shook as he suppressed his laughter. He patted Agravaine's shoulder and said solemnly, "Uncle, it's fine. Think about it, Gu Yue is on our side now. No matter how powerful the 'Family' behind her is, doesn't that just mean we have more helpers?"
"What do you mean helpers!" Agravaine was so angry his beard fluttered. He raised his hand to knock Arthur's head, but Arthur nimbly dodged. "That's someone else's power! You heartless boy, do you really think Limit Douluos are common as cabbage? If they ever turn their backs on us, we won't even know how we died!"
"Unless..." A sudden flash of inspiration hit Agravaine, and he smiled lewdly. "Little Arthur, go and win over that girl Gu Yue. That way, the relationship will be solid."
"Tsk." Looking at Agravaine with disdain, Arthur said scornfully, "Do you have any dignity?"
"I have no dignity?" Agravaine laughed out of anger. He poked Arthur's forehead and said in a tone of disappointment, "You brat don't know anything!"
"How do I not know?" Arthur shook his head. "It's just that I don't need it anymore."
"What do you mean?" Agravaine was stunned.
"There aren't many people left on the Douluo Continent who can threaten me." Arthur raised his hand and clenched his fist. "Furthermore, the Holy Spirit Cult not looking for me these past few years was their biggest mistake. From now on, they won't have the chance."
Looking at the confident Arthur, Agravaine gradually calmed down. He frowned. "I know you've improved a lot this trip, but no matter what, you're only a Spirit King."
"A Spirit King is enough. I have no problem protecting myself now."
"And..."
Arthur reached out and made a grasping motion.
Sacred beams of light intertwined and lengthened, transforming into the Holy Spear Rhongomyniad. "Actually, I suddenly had an idea."
The spirit rings that the Holy Spear had condensed on its own emerged.
Green, red, blue, yellow, silver.
Five colors.
These five unprecedented spirit rings would shock the entire Douluo Continent.
They respectively represented the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth, while the final fifth spirit ring granted him the ability to control space.
