"Okay... okay..."
Although he was a little resistant at first,
he thought about the delicious food.
In addition, he had been rescued by Zhao Tao, and he had already developed a basic trust in Zhao Tao.
Na'er also followed Zhao Tao all the way to the door of his house.
...
At the same time that Zhao Tao took little Na'er home.
On the other side, at Hongshan Academy,
Tang Wulin, who was still running hard, suddenly felt a sense of loss.
It was as if something important was getting away from him.
"What's going on? Never mind, let's run well first."
Although he was a little puzzled, Tang Wulin quickly put the matter behind him
and continued to jog on the playground.
...
"Aunt Lin, I'm back."
Zhao Tao knocked on the door after bringing Na'er back home.
"Oh, Zhao Tao, you're back! Hey, who is this little girl?"
Lin Ximeng opened the door and looked at Na'er beside Zhao Tao, with a glint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Aunt Lin, it's like this. On the way home from school today..."
Hearing Lin Ximeng's words, Zhao Tao hurriedly explained what happened today.
"Zhao Tao, you are such a brave and good boy."
"However, the situation today is actually very dangerous. As a boy, you have to pay attention to protect yourself!"
"Well, Na'er, since you are here, have dinner first and then have a night's rest."
"Tomorrow, I will take you to the administrator to see if I can find your family."
After hearing Zhao Tao's words, Lin Ximeng praised him and then led Na'er and Zhao Tao into the house.
"By the way, Zhao Tao, why don't you take Na'er to take a shower first? I'll help you prepare dinner."
Looking at Na'er's slightly bedraggled appearance, Lin Ximeng suggested as she walked towards the kitchen.
(Please remember the 𝟏𝟎𝟏𝐤𝐚𝐧.𝐜𝐨𝐦 website for the fastest chapter updates.)
"Okay, Aunt Lin."
"Come on, Na'er, follow me!"
Zhao Tao nodded and led Na'er to the bathroom, bringing her a towel and a change of clothes.
Soon, the sound of running water and the cheerful laughter of Zhao Tao and Na'er filled the bathroom.
After helping Na'er clean herself thoroughly, Zhao Tao and Na'er returned to the living room.
"Na'er, you're so beautiful!"
Looking at Na'er beside him, whose skin was so white and soft, as if water could be squeezed out with a gentle pinch, and whose body exuded a faint fragrance, Zhao Tao praised her heartfeltly.
As expected of the Silver Dragon King, known as the most beautiful woman in Douluo, even in her juvenile form, she was still a true beauty.
Although they were already considered an "old married couple" in some sense, Zhao Tao was still deeply moved by the
sight of Na'er. Na'er didn't respond to Zhao Tao's words, as if she didn't like talking, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her shyness and joy.
"Zhao Tao, Na'er, come to dinner."
Soon, Lin Ximeng arrived at the table with a sumptuous meal.
Zhao Tao also took Na'er's hand and walked over.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Na'er's lovely purple eyes lit up instantly.
"Come on, you're welcome."
Seeing Na'er's adorable face, Lin Ximeng smiled and begged her to eat quickly.
Hearing Lin Ximeng's words, Na'er didn't hesitate and immediately performed a true food vanishing trick.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Since there were no more spare rooms at home, Na'er also spent the night with Zhao Tao in his bed.
Seeing Na'er's adorable face beside him, Zhao Tao secretly made a resolution:
he would protect Na'er from now on and never allow the tragedy of his previous life to happen again!
Since it was the weekend and there was no school, after breakfast, Lin Ximeng took Na'er away, hoping to find out her identity.
Obviously, for Na'er, who was an "illegal immigrant," such an attempt was futile.
After helping Na'er register her identity, Lin Ximeng took her back home.
Seeing Na'er's adorable face, Lin Ximeng naturally felt reluctant to send her to an orphanage.
With Zhao Tao's consent, Na'er became the third member of this small family!
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed. After
two years of getting along,
Na'er, who was once a little reserved and kept strangers away, has long since integrated into this small family of three.
As the person who saved Na'er, who spent a long time with her, and who repeatedly stood up to protect and support her after Na'er enrolled in Hongshan College,
Zhao Tao naturally became the person Na'er admired most, the most beloved and beloved brother Zhao Tao, the person she least wanted to leave.
It can be said that Na'er almost became Zhao Tao's little follower, and except for the brief separation during class, she was basically inseparable from Zhao Tao.
As for Zhao Tao, he had also undergone earth-shaking changes in these two years.
The first to bear the brunt of the impact was naturally his martial soul, the Spring and Autumn Cicada.
After absorbing the power of time from the River of Time for two full years, the dead aura of the Spring and Autumn Cicada's martial soul had long since been completely dispelled!
Its once dry and dull trunk had regained a touch of vitality, and its withered and broken wings had been fully restored.
Although the Spring and Autumn Cicada had not yet fully recovered, it was no longer in danger.
Accordingly, Zhao Tao's innate soul power had naturally recovered to level three.
With this increase in innate soul power, Zhao Tao's cultivation speed naturally accelerated significantly.
Combined with the assistance of the Time Meditation Technique, Zhao Tao successfully broke through to level ten in just two years.
Such a rapid cultivation speed was truly astonishing!
After all, even among the children in Zhao Tao's class with innate soul power levels of five and six, only one person had achieved a breakthrough earlier than Zhao Tao.
Even so.
Zhao Tao made a comparison and, with the blessing of the Time Meditation Method, his current cultivation speed has reached 70% to 80% of that of the same age group before his rebirth!
It is foreseeable that
with the recovery of the Spring and Autumn Cicada martial soul and the further recovery of his innate soul power, Zhao Tao's cultivation speed will soar further, far surpassing his pre-rebirth level!
This also gave Zhao Tao greater confidence.
After breaking through the tenth level,
it is naturally time to fuse souls and break through to the soul master level.
"Na'er, I'm going to the Soul Pagoda with Aunt Lin today to buy souls. You have to stay home alone~"
Zhao Tao instructed, gently rubbing Na'er's soft silver hair.
"Yes, Brother Zhao Tao, Na'er will stay home well! By the way, Brother Zhao Tao, when you come back, can you buy Na'er a cake on the way?"
Na'er smiled sweetly at Zhao Tao's caress, her tone a touch of coquettishness.
"Of course, no problem. I'll bring back your favorite cream cake."
Zhao Tao smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, Brother Zhao Tao is the best!"
Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Na'er smiled sweetly, a pair of adorable dimples appearing on her cheeks.
After waving goodbye to Na'er, Zhao Tao followed Lin Ximeng to the Spirit Pagoda branch in Aolai City.
