Chapter 135: Accepting a Disciple and Giving Him a Name
Chapter 135: Accepting a Disciple and Giving Him a Name
Before Ning Bei could calm down, something even more miraculous happened. After the girl's martial soul awakened, all the non-human structures in her body began to slowly disappear, and she slowly turned into a girl with long dark green hair.
The girl opened her eyes, looked at her palms curiously, and then touched her face.
"I have become a human? I am no longer a monster?"
The girl shed tears of excitement, and no matter how Ning Bei comforted her, she couldn't stop crying. She didn't know how much injustice she had suffered over the years.
This lasted for half an hour before the girl slowly regained her composure. She knelt in front of Ning Bei and knocked her head to the ground.
"Thank you, my Lord, for giving me a reborn body."
Ning Bei quickly helped the girl up and shook his head at her.
"I didn't transform you. It was just an inevitable phenomenon after your martial spirit awakened."
The girl shook her head and refused to get up from the ground.
"If you hadn't awakened my martial soul for me, no soul master would care about a monster like me, let alone a martial soul."
Ning Bei sighed, stopped worrying about this issue, and took out a crystal ball from his soul guide.
"Let's not talk about anything else for now, let's test the innate soul power."
The girl looked at Ning Bei in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Ning Bei was not in a hurry and slowly explained some common sense of soul masters to her.
"So, now put your hand on the crystal ball and inject soul power into it."
The girl nodded and followed Nimbe's instructions.
After a while, the crystal ball was filled with soul power.
"Innately full of soul power!"
The girl looked at the surprised Ning Bei and was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"My Lord, is there any problem?"
Ning Bei came back to his senses and looked at the girl as if he saw a treasure.
"No problem, your innate full soul power means you are a genius."
"genius?"
"That's right, your talent is higher than everyone else in Hanhai City, which means no one will bully you anymore."
"Really?"
The girl's eyes lit up, obviously thinking of the wonderful life in the future.
Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his face became a little nervous.
"Then sir, can I follow you?"
"Oh? Why do you want to follow me? With your talent, you'll be sought after wherever you go."
The girl quickly shook her head, as if she was afraid that Ning Bei would misunderstand something.
"I just want to follow you, my Lord. Without you, I would have to stay in this Hague Village as a monster for the rest of my life and be bullied by others."
Ning Bei looked at the girl with a sincere expression and nodded with satisfaction. She was much better than some ungrateful people.
You little jerk, don't look at others, I'm talking about you!
"Then you should take me as your master. Come back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect with me in the future. I will teach you how to practice and become a strong man."
After hearing what Ning Bei said, the girl was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed a few times. She didn't care about becoming a strong person at all, as long as she could follow the benefactor in front of her.
"I've met the master."
Ning Bei accepted this greeting with peace of mind, as he would protect her in the future anyway.
After a simple greeting, Ning Bei helped the girl up again.
"How old are you exactly?"
"12 is old."
"12 years old? That's a bit late!"
Ning Bei held his chin and looked at the girl in front of him. He felt a little sorry that she had wasted six golden years of her life. However, it was not too late. He could use all his elixirs and magic herbs to help her.
After hearing Ning Bei's sigh, the young apprentice was immediately confused and thought that the master he had just recognized no longer wanted him.
"Master, I will practice hard, please don't abandon me."
Ning Bei knew at a glance that the girl was thinking out of place, and patted her head in amusement. "Who said I was going to abandon you? It's just that you did waste some of your golden time for training. You may have to work twice as hard as others in the future."
"I will definitely work hard and won't let my master down."
Ning Bei nodded in satisfaction, thinking that as long as he wasn't like those two lazy guys at home, it would be fine.
"By the way, my disciple, since you have become my disciple, let me give you a name. My disciple cannot be called a monster or a demon."
The girl nodded without objection.
"How about just calling me Nami?"
"It's all up to the master, and the disciple will listen to the master."
After getting rid of that half sea soul beast appearance, the little girl looked so pretty and most importantly, very obedient. Ning Bei was very satisfied with this disciple.
"Pack up and come with me."
"Yes, master."
Nami packed the clothes very quickly. After a while, she had packed the worn-out clothes into a package. She carried the clothes on her back and happily came to Ning Bei. There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and it was obvious that she didn't want to stay in this shabby place for even a minute.
Looking at the girl carrying the package, Ning Bei cursed himself for being careless and quickly took out a beautiful bracelet from his soul guide.
"I forgot to give you a gift for becoming my disciple. This is a storage bracelet. You can put items into it by activating it with your soul power."
Nami quickly shook her head.
"Master, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Although I don't know its exact value, I can tell it's expensive just by looking at its gorgeous shape and the functions described by the master.
Ning Bei didn't care whether she accepted it or not, and directly pulled Nami's little hand and put it around it.
"If you are given it, you should accept it. A gift from an elder should not be refused."
Looking at his disciple who was still trying to resist, Ning Bei's eyes turned cold.
"If you take it down, I won't want you anymore. Just stay in this broken village by yourself!"
Nami immediately stopped taking off the bracelet and nodded quickly to show that she accepted it.
He took Nami out of the village, bought some daily necessities and clothes for her along the way, and gave her some gold soul coins. He and his friends wouldn't be back for a while, and she might need to live alone for a few days.
After returning to the hotel, Ning Fengzhi, Jian and Gu were a little confused when they saw the little girl behind him.
"Belle, who is this?"
"Father, this is the apprentice I took in from the village next door. Her name is Nami."
"Nami, this is my father and two grandfathers, you can just call them Grandmaster and Grandmaster."
Seeing this, Nami was about to step forward and throw herself on the ground, but Ning Bei, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.
"Just bow. As my apprentice, no one is allowed to kneel from now on. Do you hear me?"
Nami, whose fate was strangled by the neck, nodded timidly, fearing that she would displease the big guys.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two were a little confused after hearing the introduction. They didn't understand what was so special about this girl who was obviously over 12 years old and not yet a soul master that was worthy of Ning Bei's attention.
Ning Bei obviously understood what they meant and introduced his apprentice.
"Nami, the spirit of the Tidecaller, a genius with innate full spirit power."
"what?"
Gu Rong looked at the girl next to Ning Bei with surprise and began to examine her again.
Nami pinched the hem of her skirt nervously, fearing that she would be disliked by her elders.
"Belle, hasn't she obtained the spirit ring yet?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Ning Bei patiently explained what happened, and the three of them finally understood what was going on.
“It’s a pity that a lot of time has been wasted, but the potential is still worth affirming.”
Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly, thinking that it would be better if he could find Nami earlier.
"Let's not talk about the past. I plan to train Nami well. With her chasing after me, Rongrong and Xiaowu, the two lazy girls, will work harder."
Thinking of the two guys at home, Ning Fengzhi and the other two nodded in agreement. That was the truth.
