"We're back."

That afternoon, when the Tang brothers returned home, a pretty girl was already sitting in the living room. It was Na'er.

"Brother Luochuan."

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 back.

"The boys are home."

"Luochuan, Wulin, we couldn't find any information about Na'er anywhere in the city. Until we find her family, she'll be part of our family."

Lang Yue placed two dishes on the table and looked toward Na'er, her voice filled with pity.

Such a cute and well-behaved little girl—how could her family have failed to take care of her?

They had just lost her like that. How irresponsible!

"Alright."

"From now on, we're Na'er's family."

Tang Luochuan nodded with a smile, looking happily at Na'er.

"Mm!"

Na'er beamed and nodded earnestly.

"..."

At that moment, outside the house, a tall man in black was watching the scene inside, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Is it just my imagination?"

"I'll set aside Master's plan to have contact with humans for now, but why does this human boy also carry Master's aura?"

"It's different from the Silver Dragon King's aura. This is..."

The man in black could not help muttering, his eyes flashing with complicated emotions. He was utterly baffled.

His name was Di Tian, the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest, the final standard-bearer of Soul Beasts in the entire world, known as the Beast God.

As the Dragon God's former guardian, he naturally recognized that aura. After the Dragon God had split in two, it became the Silver Dragon King, representing wisdom, and the Golden Dragon King, representing wild power.

Of the two, his perception of the Golden Dragon King's aura was especially stronger than his perception of the Silver Dragon King's...

What the boy possessed was the Golden Dragon King!

"Perhaps..."

"Master's grand plan..."

"Is simply this powerful."

After pondering for a moment, Di Tian finally muttered seriously to himself.

Perhaps this was Master's boundless wisdom!

"..."

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Red Mountain Academy.

"Tang Luochuan."

"You are the strongest student in our academy's history. I hope that after you enter an Intermediate Academy..."

"You'll only continue to grow better and better."

Principal Ying Luohong handed him a personally written letter of recommendation, smiling as she spoke.

"Thank you, Principal."

Tang Luochuan accepted the recommendation letter with a smile.

Compared to three years ago, he had grown much taller. His already exceptional looks had become even more handsome. In a few more years, he would surely become a true heartthrob.

As for cultivating Soul Power, he had not slacked off in the slightest. He was now a Level 28 Assault Type Soul Grandmaster.

He was only Nine Years Old.

Furthermore, even the strength of his Sub-profession had reached a level that ordinary people could scarcely imagine...

After taking the recommendation letter, he gave the classroom that had accompanied him for three years one last look before leaving resolutely.

"What a good child."

Watching his figure disappear, the principal sighed.

She only regretted not having a daughter. Otherwise, she truly would have wanted to take such a heaven-blessed prodigy as her son-in-law!

As for doing it herself...

She couldn't. At the very least, she shouldn't.

After leaving the classroom, Tang Luochuan did not go far. Instead, he stopped in front of a Teaching Building, as though waiting for someone.

"Na'er."

"Your boyfriend's here to pick you up again."

Not long afterward, two girls came out together. One of them spotted Tang Luochuan and immediately teased her friend beside her with a mischievous grin.

The teased girl was adorable and perfectly matched Tang Luochuan. Like a porcelain doll, she was delicate and lovely; who knew how breathtakingly beautiful she would become in the future?

"I told you, he's not..."

Na'er's little face flushed crimson as she protested weakly.

Fiancée, Child Bride, little girlfriend—those names were all way too embarrassing, alright?!

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you."

"Hurry up and go home with your brother."

Her companion patted her shoulder with a smile before leaving. Clearly, she had no desire to play the third wheel.

"Brother—"

Na'er took a deep breath, then looked toward Tang Luochuan. Her face was slightly flushed, but she naturally took his hand as she called out to him.

"Let's go."

"Let's go home."

Tang Luochuan smiled gently.

"Brother, Na'er, you're back."

"I broke through Level 10."

When Tang Wulin heard the two return, he immediately rushed over with a bright smile, speaking excitedly.

Since he had reached the final stage of his bottleneck, he had not gone to class that day. After three years of cultivation, he had finally broken through his first bottleneck!

At last, he could obtain his first Soul Spirit!

Even though the gap between him and his brother was still enormous, it was enough for now. There would be no problem at all.

"That's great."

Tang Luochuan immediately praised him with a smile.

With Wulin's talent, he was at a serious disadvantage without being nourished by heavenly treasures. He could only wait until he became successful in the future before helping him...

"Yes."

"It's too late today. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Spirit Pagoda and carefully pick out a Soul Spirit."

Tang Ziran walked over, smiling as he spoke.

Unlike their straitened circumstances three years ago, he and his wife now had three million in savings just from taking on some simple Level 5 and Level 6 Mecha material production and design work.

A hundred-year Soul Beast Soul Spirit for Wulin would be easy to afford!

"Awesome!"

"Long live Dad!"

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up as he said with a grin.

"Brother Wulin really is amazing."

Beside him, Na'er smiled politely.

"..."

Only Tang Luochuan, while smiling at the harmonious scene before him, could not help turning his gaze toward Na'er.

The timeline had reached the present. He had even obtained his recommendation letter for an Intermediate Academy. So what came next...

Was saying goodbye to someone he had spent every day with.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Noticing Tang Luochuan's gaze, Na'er blinked with curious eyes and asked with a giggle.

"No."

"I was just thinking about something."

Tang Luochuan shook his head with a gentle smile.

Parting was for the sake of a better reunion.

He only hoped that when they met again...

Both of them would have become better and better. That would be enough!

PS: Happy Winter Solstice, though it doesn't feel happy at all. An elder in my family passed away today...

In A Bai's first Dragon King fanwork, a family member also passed away. I never expected something like this to happen only days after this book was released. This will be the most unforgettable Winter Solstice.
