"We're back."
That afternoon, when Tang Luochuan and his brother returned home, a beautiful girl was already sitting in the living room. It was Na'er.
"Brother Luo Chuan."
Seeing Tang Luochuan appear, the girl's face lit up with joy as she called out to him with a smile.
"Na'er."
Tang Luochuan smiled warmly.
"Our sons are back."
"Luo Chuan, Wu Lin, we couldn't find any information about Na'er in the city. Until we locate her family, she will be part of our family."
Lang Yue placed two dishes on the table and glanced in Na'er's direction, her voice tinged with pity.
Such a lovely and well-behaved little girl—how could her family have failed to take care of her?
To lose her like this—it's just so irresponsible!
"Alright."
"From now on, we are Na'er's family."
Tang Luochuan nodded with a smile, looking at Na'er with a warm expression.
"Yes!"
Na'er beamed and nodded earnestly.
"..."
At that very moment, outside the house, a tall figure clad in black was observing the scene inside, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Is it just my imagination?"
"I won't question the master's plan to interact with humans, but why does this little human boy also carry the master's aura?"
"It's different from the Silver Dragon King's aura. This is..."
The black-clad man couldn't help but murmur to himself, his eyes flickering with a mix of emotions, clearly puzzled.
He was Di Tian, the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest, the last remaining pillar of the Soul Beast world, revered as the Beast God.
As a former guardian of the Dragon God, he was naturally familiar with that aura. After the Dragon God split into two, it became the Silver Dragon King, representing wisdom, and the Golden Dragon King, embodying ferocious power.
Among them, his sensitivity to the Golden Dragon King's presence was especially stronger than that of the Silver Dragon King...
The aura emanating from that boy was unmistakably that of the Golden Dragon King!
"Perhaps."
"The master's grand plan..."
"is just that formidable."
Di Tian pondered for a moment before muttering to himself with conviction.
Perhaps this was a testament to the master's unparalleled wisdom!
"..."
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
At Red Mountain Academy.
"Tang Luochuan."
"You are the strongest student our academy has ever produced. I hope that when you move on to the intermediate academy..."
"you will continue to grow and excel."
Principal Ying Luohong handed him a personally written letter of recommendation, her face filled with pride.
"Thank you, Principal."
Tang Luochuan accepted the letter with a smile.
Compared to three years ago, he had grown much taller. His already striking looks had become even more handsome, and in a few more years, he was sure to become a renowned heartthrob.
In terms of Soul Power cultivation, he had not slacked off either. He was now a Level 28 Grand Soul Master of the Power Attack System.
And he was only nine years old.
Moreover, his proficiency in secondary professions had reached a level that most people could hardly imagine...
After taking the recommendation letter, he took one last look at the classroom that had been his home for three years, then left with determination.
"What a fine young man."
The principal sighed as she watched his figure disappear.
If only she had a daughter—she would have loved to have such a prodigy as her son-in-law!
As for herself personally stepping in...
She couldn't, at least she shouldn't.
Tang Luochuan, who had left the classroom, didn't go far. Instead, he stopped in front of a teaching building, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Na'er."
"Your boyfriend is here to pick you up again."
Not long after, two girls came out together. One of them noticed Tang Luochuan and immediately teased her friend with a mischievous smile.
The girl being teased was quite adorable, a perfect match for Tang Luochuan, as charming as a porcelain doll, and undoubtedly destined to be a stunning beauty in the future.
"I've told you it's not like that..."
Na'er's face turned red as she weakly defended herself.
Terms like fiancée, child bride, or little girlfriend were all too embarrassing!
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Hurry and go back with your brother."
Her companion laughed, patted her on the shoulder, and then left, clearly not wanting to be a third wheel.
"Brother—"
Na'er took a deep breath, then looked in Tang Luochuan's direction. Her face still slightly flushed, she naturally took his hand and called out.
"Let's go."
"We're going home."
Tang Luochuan smiled gently and spoke softly.
"Brother, Na'er, you're back."
"I've broken through to level 10."
Upon returning home, Tang Wulin, hearing their arrival, immediately rushed over with a bright smile, excitedly announcing.
Because he was at the final stage of a bottleneck, he hadn't attended classes today. After three years of cultivation, he had finally broken through his first bottleneck!
He could finally obtain his first Soul Spirit!
Even though there was still a significant gap between him and his brother, at least it was enough, and there would be no problems.
"That's amazing."
Tang Luochuan immediately praised with a smile.
Given Tang Wulin's talent, he was at a disadvantage without the nourishment of rare treasures. It would only be possible to help him once he had achieved something in the future...
"Indeed."
"It's too late today. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and carefully choose a Soul Spirit."
Tang Ziran walked over, a smile on his face.
Unlike the financial struggles of three years ago, he and his wife had now earned three million in savings just by taking on some simple production and design work for level five or six Mecha Materials.
A hundred-year Soul Spirit for Tang Wulin was easily within reach!
"Hooray!"
"Long live Dad!"
Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled as he laughed.
"Brother Wulin is indeed amazing."
Beside him, Na'er smiled politely.
"..."
Only Tang Luochuan, while smiling at the harmonious scene before him, couldn't help but glance in Na'er's direction.
The timeline had now reached the point where even the recommendation letter for the intermediate academy had been obtained. What lay ahead...
was bidding farewell to someone who had been by his side day and night.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Is there something on my face?"
Noticing Tang Luochuan's gaze, Na'er looked at him curiously, blinking her eyes and smiling.
"Nothing."
"I was just thinking about something."
Tang Luochuan shook his head gently and smiled warmly.
Parting is for the sake of a better reunion.
He was just looking forward to the next time they would meet...
As long as both of us are becoming better, that's enough!
