Introduction

After burying Fern's parents, Li Yan was both bewildered and delighted. Regarding the matter of finding the Giant Piranha Plant Fern while wandering around, although he had come to the post-war Small Town with Heiter with a special purpose, he did not expect to start with such a wonderful surprise.

Heiter was also somewhat bewildered. In the short time it took to treat the injured, his Godfather had found him a younger sister and Lionheart King another ancestor in the blink of an eye.

"Heiter, this is Fern, my goddaughter."

Li Yan touched Fern's short purple hair. It felt very nice; the soft hair was smooth to the touch. Fern had short hair when she was little, and she looked a bit like a little mushroom, not the Giant Piranha Plant she grew up to be.

Suddenly, Li Yan thought of what Fern would look like when he became Giant Piranha Plant, and couldn't help but laugh. The Giant Piranha Plant got angry, grabbed a balloon, puffed out his cheeks, and flew away, leaving Frieren and Tomato Head Stark looking miserable.

"Godfather, I'll have to keep a closer eye on you next time. If you keep adopting any girl you see who's pitiful, Himmel and I might end up with a whole bunch of little sisters."

Heiter spoke with a solemn expression, for he was extremely aware of the number of orphans in this post-war state.

Speaking of orphans, Heiter couldn't help but recall his time in the orphanage. His and Himmel's parents had also died in the war. After becoming orphans, if Li Yan hadn't come to adopt him and Himmel, he would never have experienced the warmth of a family.

Fern's expression softened considerably upon seeing that her clothes were already somewhat dirty; the little girl in front of him looked remarkably like him when he was young.

"Fern, you also need to keep a close eye on your Godfather; he can be quite willful at times."

Heiter's soft words made Fern hide behind Li Yan in fear, even though Heiter had seemed to disagree with the man in front of her adopting her.

"Heiter, your tone is too harsh. Go do your thing, I'm taking Fern."

Li Yan casually waved her hand, indicating that she understood and that Heiter should just do what he needed to do.

Seeing that Fern was shy, Heiter didn't linger. He was very busy; there were still many people in need of help in the ruins of the post-war Small Town.

Li Yan sat on a blue stone, too lazy to go forward and help Heiter. He figured the Kingdom's support troops would come to pick up these people who had lost their homes soon.

Fern sat obediently beside Li Yan, holding onto the hem of her clothes. The sweet candy in her mouth added a touch of childlike liveliness to her face.

"Here's another candy, do you want some?"

Li Yan took a cantaloupe-flavored hard candy out of her pocket and waved it in front of Fern. Fern nodded obediently. Li Yan peeled off the coating and held it to Fern's lips.

Fern opened her small mouth slightly, and Li Yan fed her the candy. The sweet cantaloupe flavor made Fern squint her eyes. Seeing that Fern's little hand was still clutching the hem of his clothes, Li Yan couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Fern's head. He knew that Fern was undoubtedly afraid of him leaving at this moment.

Night fell, and the Kingdom's army arrived just in time. They set up simple shelters for the war-stricken people to live in. Heiter finished his work, and all the wounded civilians received treatment.

"Let's go, Godfather. All the war-torn areas around here have received support from the Royal Capital."

Upon hearing Heiter's voice, Li Yan stood up, lazily stretched, and rubbed her slightly sore lower back. "This is really troublesome. We need to resolve this pointless war as soon as possible."

As the Spatial Gate opened, Li Yan led Fern and Heiter inside. Upon seeing the Spatial Gate, Fern's eyes widened slightly.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yan and Heiter were back outside the Castle. Heiter waved goodbye to Li Yan, and before leaving, he smiled and waved to Fern, "You'll like your new home. It's big and luxurious. It's the place that raised me and Himmel. After all, I used to be an orphan, just like you."

Fern hid behind Li Yan, her big eyes full of curiosity about her surroundings. Heiter's words calmed her frightened heart a lot; the other person was also an orphan, just like herself.

"Remember to say hello to the little Heiter for me, and tell them that Grandpa will bring toys to visit them when he has time."

Li Yan chuckled and waved to Heiter smiled and nodded, waving goodbye as she walked towards the taxi in the distance.

"Let's go, Fern, let's go home."

With Fern clinging to his clothes, Li Yan was in high spirits. He was indifferent to raising his son, but when it came to raising his daughter, he already had a hundred plans to make her beautiful. There was no need to learn any kind of Noble etiquette. Girls just needed to live happily every day. Mornings were milk and papaya, lunch was papaya milk and various delicious dishes, afternoon tea was also papaya milk and cake, and dinner was papaya with various delicious Western dishes.

As for princess dresses, Li Yan plans to buy one hundred sets, changing the style every day. Girls should be pampered.

The magnificent Castle. Fern carefully tugged at Li Yan's sleeve. The luxurious environment overwhelmed her. As they stepped onto the elevator, Mechanical Maid smiled slightly at her.

The elevator went straight to the top floor. As Li Yan stepped out of the elevator, several Mechanical Maids bowed to welcome her home. Aura, holding a cat plush toy, glanced in Li Yan 'Li Yan direction, and her previously lazy spirits instantly lifted.

"Li Yan brought a woman back, meow! Li Yan brought a woman back, meow!"

Aura's shout made Frieren was peacefully immersed in a sea of Magic Tome, turn slightly cold. She raised her head slightly, casually tossing the Magic Tome on the ground.

Solitär tossed aside the experimental data in her hand, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes, a smile playing on her lips. She wanted to see what kind of vixen would dare to steal her young master.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue, who were cleaning Li Yan's room, rushed over with brooms, causing the large room to shake violently. This made Frieren was walking expressionlessly into the hall, slightly shift her gaze.

"Lord Aura, the other party is just a little girl. Don't let others misunderstand."

Line bit her lower lip, feeling a little ashamed of Lord Aura's shouting.

"Hmm, meow, that's what makes it fun, meow."

Aura snorted smugly; she was determined to be a bad pet.

Aura's voice naturally did not escape Li Yan's ears. He was both annoyed and amused. Seeing that Fern was not frightened, Li Yan was too lazy to settle accounts with her.

As luck would have it, all the women were drawn out by the loud noise of Aura, and even the gossipy Macht couldn't help but move closer.

"Ahem, since everyone's here, I'd like to announce that Fern is my goddaughter."

Li Yan gently patted Fern's head and introduced him tenderly.

"Are you sure it's not their biological child?"

Aura spoke with a grin.

"You're finished! Aura."

Li Yan turned his gaze to Aura's back; his Iron Sand Palm was already burning hot.
