Chapter 77 Na'er: Her teeth were captured by humans!
Na'er sighed, her eyes reflecting the crowds of people coming and going on the street, observing each passerby.
The task given to her by the original body was to find a special being.
However, she had no idea whether the other party was male or female, or how old or what they looked like, or even whether they were a living being.
The only clue is that the other party might have a huge connection to the shrouded area that covers the entire Shrek City, so she could try to find its source, which might yield some results.
Then the main body also said that as long as she sees it, she can confirm the other party's identity.
It's fair to say that these conditions are essentially meaningless.
Shrek City is so big, and there's Shrek Academy inside. How is she supposed to find it in such a vast area?
Na'er sighed again, her little face falling, feeling that her true form was really unreliable.
Just then, she saw two middle-aged women dressed in the same clothes in front of her, followed by four or five beggars who were slightly older than her but dressed similarly.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, one of the women paused slightly, then stepped out from the group, approached her, and knelt down.
"Young lady, where are your family?"
Na'er paused slightly, blinked her purple eyes, and resumed her timid demeanor.
She kept her head down and spoke softly.
"I have no family."
The woman paused, sighed, and without asking any further questions, took out a steaming flatbread from the cloth bag she carried with her and handed it to her.
"Are you hungry, kid? Come on, have something to eat first."
Na'er's eyes lit up immediately.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
As she spoke, she took the flatbread without any hesitation, took a big bite, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
The woman looked at her wolfing down her food, her eyes filled with even more pity, and said gently:
"Our pharmacy is currently recruiting apprentices. We offer wages, room and board, and if you don't mind, you can come back with us."
Na'er paused slightly, instantly drawn in by the words "food and lodging included".
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at the few little beggars behind the woman who were also happily munching on flatbreads, and then looked at the woman in front of her whose eyes were filled with genuine pity.
After a moment of silence, she nodded seriously.
"I'll go with you!"
Although her original body didn't give her much power, it did give her a lot of strong escape and survival abilities. If she really encountered danger, even if Di Tian came, he wouldn't be able to catch her.
If there is no danger...
That includes food and lodging!
And so, the group of five or six little beggars, munching on flatbread, followed the two women through several streets and soon arrived at the door of a shop.
Na'er ate her pancake and glanced up at the signboard.
Ping An Pharmacy.
……
Entering through the side door, the young beggars were separated and taken away to wash up, according to their gender.
Na'er took a nice hot shower, then changed into clean clothes. She felt refreshed and all the fatigue from the past few days had vanished.
However, after washing, she still covered her face.
Among the many abilities her original body granted her was the ability to conceal her appearance. After all, being good-looking easily attracts attention, so it's better to be low-key.
After they finished dealing with these matters, another woman invited them to eat. Although it wasn't a gourmet meal, the portions were generous.
Na'er had a full meal after a long time and showed off her amazing appetite.
After they finished eating and rested for a while, they were led to a room and sat down one by one.
Once everyone had arrived, a man who appeared to be in charge entered the room, handed out a piece of paper to each person, and then slowly said:
"What you see before you now is an employment contract. Once you sign the contract, you will become apprentices at my Ping An Pharmacy and will begin your unified training starting tomorrow."
"Once the apprenticeship is completed and the performance is satisfactory, you can officially join Ping An Pharmacy."
"If you don't want to, you are welcome to leave. Ping An Pharmacy will not force you."
Na'er picked up the contract in front of her and began to read it carefully.
Just as the manager said, the contract terms were clear and not too restrictive. The main content was a three-year apprenticeship with room and board provided and a small monthly wage.
The main job is to learn pharmacology and some daily shop affairs. There will be regular assessments, and if you don't meet the standards, you will be asked to leave early.
Na'er checked the text several times to make sure there were no hidden traps or anything like that, then she picked up her pen.
However, the moment she put pen to paper, a wisp of her soul power was inexplicably activated.
It wasn't something she initiated; rather, something on the contract seemed to automatically draw upon her soul power the moment she put pen to paper, merging it into the name she wrote.
Na'er was taken aback, and for a moment she didn't understand what was going on.
However, the next moment, the ordinary contract text, which was originally written in black and white, seemed to come alive and began to twist and recombine!
Lines of blood-red text, seemingly written in blood, appeared on the paper and, in the blink of an eye, pieced together a new contract!
Na'er: "???"
She immediately realized something was wrong.
Almost instinctively, she wanted to use the means given to her by her original body to run away immediately.
However...
It's too late.
The contract exploded, turning into countless tiny golden specks of light, which then instantly coalesced into a golden chain as thick as an infant's arm. It pierced straight into her chest and then wrapped around her body.
In an instant, Na'er felt her body freeze, as if her soul was also firmly anchored by the chains. She swayed and fell to the ground, unable to move.
A certain connection was forcibly established between her and someone. She swayed, trying to shake off the chains, but the chains seemed to have become completely integrated with her, remaining motionless.
She glanced around and saw that everyone present had blank stares, like dolls whose consciousness had been ripped out, and they left the room quietly and orderly, their order eerily neat.
Then...
A figure emerged from the shadows of the room.
He was an excessively handsome young man with black hair, golden eyes, a slender figure, and looked quite young.
However, a golden chain also extended from his chest, and it was this chain that connected with the chain on her chest, firmly anchoring her in place, unable to move.
Na'er's eyes were wary as she tried to use her inner strength to escape, but at this moment, her abilities all went dormant, and even the ability she used to conceal her face naturally failed.
Her delicate face, showing a hint of fear, was exposed to the light. Her long silver hair fell to her shoulders, and her purple eyes gleamed with a cool light under the lamp.
How could this happen...?
She really couldn't understand why her abilities seemed to be resisting her use; no matter how she tried to activate them, they wouldn't come out.
Damn.
Was this a setup orchestrated by evil humans?
How could humans be so wicked!
Na'er bit her lip, a hint of humiliation on her face, but her purple eyes remained defiant.
She stared at the boy who was closing in, closed her eyes, turned her head sharply, and said resolutely:
"Gulp... Just kill me!"
Jiang Ci'an blinked, a gentle smile appearing in his golden eyes.
He leaned slightly closer, lifting her chin with his fingers from above, then gently pinched it, and chuckled softly:
"How could I kill you? As half of the Silver Dragon King, killing you directly would be such a waste."
Na'er's pupils contracted slightly.
no...
Has she been exposed?
"What...what do you want to do?!"
Her voice carried a hint of panic, but the boy in front of her only smiled and looked at her without saying a word, which made her even more flustered.
Completely spicy,
Their teeth and jaws were brutally captured by evil humans!
