The Idea of Making Na'er His Future Wife

Na'er did not pull her little hand away again, allowing Long Yuan to hold it.

As they walked, her purple eyes stayed fixed on Long Yuan. He gave her a very familiar, comforting feeling.

The fear she had felt when those young thugs surrounded her earlier vanished completely at that moment.

Likewise, when Long Yuan held Na'er's hand, the blood in his body began to boil, and he too felt a sense of familiarity.

He guessed it had something to do with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

Earlier, he had drawn a tiny bit of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from Tang Wulin.

Before long, Long Yuan brought Na'er back to the apartment he shared with Lin Ximeng.

He went into the kitchen, took out a small cake from the Soul Guidance Refrigerator, and handed it to Na'er.

Na'er glanced at him, then at the cake. Her outstretched little hand stopped in midair, and she did not dare take it.

"Eat. I'll eat with you!"

Long Yuan knew that Na'er was too afraid to eat or even accept it.

He took the initiative to sit beside Na'er and placed the small cake in front of them.

He used a fork to take a piece first and put it into his mouth.

Then he picked up another piece and fed it to Na'er.

A trace of surprise appeared in Na'er's purple eyes, and she leaned her head back slightly.

However, under Long Yuan's insistence, she still tried opening her little mouth and gently took a bite of the cake.

The moment the cake entered her mouth, a glimmer lit up in her purple eyes.

"Hehe, see? I told you it was delicious. Don't be afraid—hurry and eat!"

Encouraged by Long Yuan, Na'er began to chew slowly.

Her negative emotions—restraint, unease, anxiety, fear—gradually faded away, and she slowly relaxed.

Before long, the two of them finished an entire cake.

Yet after finishing it, Na'er still stared eagerly at the empty plate. Clearly, she had not eaten her fill.

"Still not full? I'll get you more!"

Long Yuan was not full either. Perhaps because he had obtained a bit of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, he now became hungry easily, and his appetite had increased as well.

He got up and took out some more ready-to-eat food from the refrigerator, and the two began eating again.

Ding-dong!

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Na'er, Mom's back. She isn't a bad person either—she's really good to me!"

Long Yuan stood up and went to open the door for his mother, Lin Ximeng.

"Mom!"

That single word, "Mom," left Lin Ximeng frozen on the spot, tears instantly welling up in her beautiful eyes.

She had adopted Long Yuan for several days now, but this was the first time she had heard the boy call her "Mom."

She was overwhelmed with emotion.

"D-Darling, you must be hungry, right? Mom got delayed by something. I'll go make dinner right away!"

Lin Ximeng lowered her head and rubbed Long Yuan's little head, her face full of adoration and her voice gentle and sweet.

A happy smile spread across her face, and she was on the verge of crying tears of joy.

"Mom, I'm not hungry. Na'er and I already ate some things!"

Long Yuan held Lin Ximeng's hand and spoke happily.

"Na'er?"

Only then did Lin Ximeng notice Na'er on the sofa, and a trace of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Mom, I found Na'er by the roadside. She has nowhere to go for now, and she doesn't know who her parents are, so I brought her home!"

Long Yuan pointed at Na'er as he spoke.

Even if they took Na'er to the Federal Government to look into it, they would not be able to find out where her home was.

Because her real home was in the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.

"Oh~ That's fine, but if she got separated from them, her parents might be worried!"

Lin Ximeng set down her handbag, took Long Yuan's hand, and walked over to sit beside Na'er on the sofa.

Na'er timidly shifted to the side, instinctive fear showing in her purple eyes.

"Mom, on my way home from school, I ran into some bad people..."

Long Yuan quickly began recounting everything that had happened when he met Na'er.

He recounted Na'er's story in full detail.

"Ah, sweetheart, don't be so impulsive if something like this happens again. Thankfully you weren't hurt, or I'd have worried myself sick!"

After learning what had happened, Lin Ximeng wore a surprised expression. She pulled Long Yuan into her arms and rubbed his little head.

The intense motherly love warmed Long Yuan's heart beyond words.

"Mom, it's okay. Look, aren't I perfectly fine?

"I'll work hard to become stronger. Once I'm strong, I'll protect you too, Mom!"

Hearing Long Yuan's words, Lin Ximeng was deeply moved.

Adopting this child hadn't been in vain after all.

Long Yuan had already made up his mind. Since Lin Ximeng had adopted him and treated him so well, he should call her Mom.

And love her properly.

Afterward, while cooking, Lin Ximeng asked Na'er about her basic circumstances.

She wanted to help her find her parents, but Na'er said nothing, only shaking her head.

She didn't know. She couldn't remember.

"Alright, Na'er, then how old are you? Surely you don't not know that!"

"Five and a half!"

This time, Na'er, who had kept shaking her head, finally answered. Her voice was clear and pleasant.

"Getting lost at five and a half—what kind of parents were they?

"Alright, Na'er, you can stay with us for now. Tomorrow, Aunt will take you to the administrative officer to check whether we can find your family, okay?"

Lin Ximeng's voice was sweet and her tone gentle.

After preparing the meal, the three of them enjoyed the food together. Then she took Na'er for a comfortable hot bath.

After bathing and changing into clean clothes, both Long Yuan and Lin Ximeng were stunned by Na'er's appearance.

Her features were exquisitely balanced and lovely, as delicate as if carved from jade—a porcelain doll.

She also gave off a faint fragrance.

"Na'er, you're really pretty!"

Long Yuan squatted down and stared directly at Na'er, his eyes gleaming.

He had decided that Na'er would be his wife in the future.

At his words, a blush appeared on Na'er's pretty face, and she lowered her head shyly.

Lin Ximeng froze for a moment. Are children these days all this direct?

He had embarrassed Na'er with just a few words.

Night fell. Lin Ximeng arranged a room for Na'er, and they each went to rest.

Na'er's room was next to Long Yuan's. After entering his room, Long Yuan began meditating.

As he meditated, Soul Power circulated while blood flowed through his body.

A faint Golden Light gradually appeared over the surface of his body.

That was caused by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

"Eh..."

Na'er climbed up from her bed in the next room. Her violet eyes turned toward Long Yuan's room, and a puzzled look appeared on her face.

What a familiar aura.

But what exactly was it?

She tried hard to remember, but she simply could not recall.

The next day soon arrived. Long Yuan got up early and went to school.

Lin Ximeng had no classes, so she took Na'er to the administrative officer to investigate her background.

But no matter how they searched, they could not find her parents.

In the end, she had no choice but to bring Na'er home.

"Mom, why don't we let Na'er stay with us? She's so cute!"

After returning home from school, Long Yuan learned that Lin Ximeng had not found Na'er's parents and voiced his thoughts.

This was the Silver Dragon King in her juvenile form.

Getting close to her would only benefit him in the future.

"Alright, alright. Such a spirited and adorable little girl—I'd be reluctant to send her to an orphanage too.

"Mom has already completed the adoption procedures for her!"

If Na'er went to the Orphanage, with her weak and timid personality, she would definitely be bullied.

And she would often go hungry.

"Really?"

Seeing the adoption papers Lin Ximeng had taken out, Long Yuan could not have been happier.

Na'er also revealed a sweet, adorable smile, no longer as reserved as before.

"Thank you, Mom!"

Long Yuan thanked her from the bottom of his heart. From now on, he could be with Na'er every day.

He had obtained the opportunity that belonged to Tang Wulin.

Just thinking about it made him happy.
