Sister, Can I Marry You When I Grow Up?

After a day of sightseeing, Nan Xuanyu's family of three returned to their lodging.

Before bed, Nan Cheng accompanied her son as he practiced Water Element Control.

"Water Ball!" Nan Cheng said.

Blue light flickered in Nan Xuanyu's hand, and a small Water Ball condensed.

"Water Arrow!"

The Water Ball split apart, transforming into streams of Water Arrows. They first circled around his palm, then revolved around his body, poised to strike.

With a wave of Nan Xuanyu's hand, they could burst forth.

"Water Vortex!"

All the Water Arrows gathered together, forming a soft current that spiraled and condensed into a vortex.

"Ice Condensation!"

The vortex swiftly turned into a block of ice, then split into tiny ice spikes that floated around his body like little swords, ringing sharply.

When Nan Cheng saw this, she froze in place, her face filled with shock.

Wasn't that condensation speed far too fast?

Her son's affinity with the Water Element was simply too high!

While she was still stunned, all the ice spikes fused together, forming a slender Ice Spear.

It appeared in Nan Xuanyu's grasp.

He gave it a swing, producing a whooshing sound as it sliced through the air.

Nan Xuanyu played for a full hour before he was forcibly stopped and sent to bed.

"The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline should be above the Dragon God. Its Element Control and physical constitution should both be stronger too!"

Lying in bed, Nan Xuanyu controlled the Water Element above his head.

One moment it became an ice shield, the next ice spikes or ice needles. His eyes held a thoughtful look.

His adoptive parents, Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao, could not sleep.

Their son was simply too monstrous.

Sooner or later, some important figure would notice him and take him away.

They had no idea what to do.

Before they knew it, the trip had reached its final day.

On the final day, Nan Xuanyu's family of three did not go sightseeing. Instead, they chose to shop.

While Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng went to pay, Nan Xuanyu was drawn to a Silver Dragon Douluo Figure.

He was holding the Dragon Emperor Douluo Figure his mother had bought for him earlier.

"Auntie, can this Silver Dragon Douluo be any cheaper?"

The saleswoman smiled.

"I'm afraid not. This is a limited edition from the thirtieth generation, and its armor is made from Rare Metals. We don't have the authority to lower the price."

"Oh, all right. I'll buy it later, then. Thank you, Auntie!"

Nan Xuanyu sighed, feeling a little unhappy.

Holding the Dragon Emperor Douluo Figure upside down by its leg as though carrying a chick, he prepared to look for his parents.

"I'll take this figure."

Just then, a pleasant voice rang out.

Hearing that voice, Nan Xuanyu turned around and blanked out for a moment.

It was Sister Nana.

She had silver hair and purple eyes, and like before, wore a black mask.

It concealed her peerless beauty.

"Sister, it's you!"

Nana looked at him gently, crouched down, raised her slender hand, and stroked Nan Xuanyu's tender cheek.

"You really like this figure, don't you? Big Sister will give it to you."

As she spoke, she gave the saleswoman a look.

Delight appeared on the saleswoman's face. She quickly wrapped up the figure and handed it over.

"Ah, that wouldn't be right. Mom said you shouldn't accept rewards you haven't earned. I can't just take things from other people!"

Nana smiled faintly.

"But I touched your little face, didn't I? Let that be the payment."

"Xuanyu, why did you run over here? Your dad has been looking everywhere for you!"

At that moment, Lan Xiao came over. When he saw Nana, surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Huh, it's you!"

He had not expected to see the Silver-Haired Girl again.

Nana nodded at him, then looked at Nan Xuanyu once more.

"Dad, Sister said she wants to give me the figure. Can I take it?"

Nan Xuanyu asked while holding the figure.

His adoptive father and mother had taught him from a young age not to casually accept things from others. He had to ask for permission first.

"Huh?"

Lan Xiao looked at Nana in surprise.

Giving such a valuable gift for no reason was not necessarily a good thing.

The Silver-Haired Girl, Nana, said, "I feel a connection with this child. Seeing that he liked it, I bought it for him. Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions."

Lan Xiao hurriedly said, "That won't do! We've only just met. How could we accept something from you?

How about this? I'll pay for it. Thank you."

Nana wanted to say something, but Lan Xiao insisted on paying. She hesitated, then fell silent.

After paying, Lan Xiao took the wrapped Silver Dragon Douluo Figure, nodded to Nana in thanks, and was about to leave with Nan Xuanyu.

But Nan Xuanyu broke free from his hand, ran in front of Nana, and loudly said, "Sister, you're really beautiful. Can I marry you when I grow up?"

Nana's delicate body trembled. She had not expected little Xuanyu to confess to her.

"Xuanyu, don't talk nonsense!"

Lan Xiao was utterly embarrassed. What was wrong with this brat today?

Even if he liked Nana, he could not say something like that!

"Um... sorry about that!"

He clasped his hands toward Nana, his face full of apology.

Then he grabbed his son and quickly turned to leave.

Nan Xuanyu waved at Nana.

He looked back every few steps, reluctant to part with her.

Nana did not mind Nan Xuanyu's words.

Watching the backs of the father and son, she stood there motionlessly, her emotions complicated.

Today had not been a chance encounter. She had sensed Nan Xuanyu's location.

Then, unable to control her emotions, she had unconsciously come here.

Looking at Nan Xuanyu's retreating back, she wanted to go after him. She truly liked him so much!

As she watched him go farther away, Nana felt as though she were about to lose something important.

After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her long legs and chased after them.

"Wait!"

Nana soon caught up to Lan Xiao's family of three.

Nan Cheng looked surprised and asked, "Is there something you need, ma'am?"

Nana hesitated for a moment.

"My name is Nana. I didn't expect to run into you again today. We really are fated. I like little Xuanyu very much. Could I be his teacher?"

The idea of becoming his teacher had suddenly occurred to her on the way over.

If she wanted to stay by Nan Xuanyu's side, being his teacher was a perfectly reasonable excuse.

"Be my teacher? Great, great!"

Nan Xuanyu's face lit up. He ran to Nana and naturally took her slender hand.

"Xuanyu, you can't do that!"

Nan Cheng hurriedly pulled her son back to her side. What was wrong with him?

He was being far too enthusiastic.

Then, with an apologetic expression, she said, "Sorry, this child simply likes you too much. Um... you said you want to be his teacher. May I ask what your martial soul is?"

Nana glanced at Nan Xuanyu. A faint glimmer seemed to flash through her purple eyes.

"I know Ancient Martial Arts. My martial soul is... Water Element Control."

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng exchanged looks, both revealing expressions of disbelief.

This was far too much of a coincidence.

Their son also had Water Element Control.

And how did she know their family needed a private tutor?

A few days ago, the two parents had discussed hiring a private tutor for little Xuanyu.

After this trip, Lan Xiao would have to travel far for work.

He would not have time to teach Nan Xuanyu.

If they had a private tutor, that would fill the gap perfectly.

But this was too much of a coincidence.

For a moment, Lan Xiao became wary.

He worried that Nana had ulterior motives.

"May I ask what you do for work?"

Lan Xiao asked cautiously.

He had to understand the situation. Although his son truly needed a private tutor, he still needed to know more about her before hiring her.

Nana said, "Me? I'm a teacher. I teach Ancient Martial Arts at the Tiandou Institute of Technology."

As she spoke, she removed the Soul Guide Communicator from her wrist and handed it to Lan Xiao.

It contained all her identity information.

Name: Nana. Age: Twenty-five. Teacher in the Ancient Martial Arts Department of the Tiandou Branch of the Federal Academy of Sciences. Third-level professional title.

After learning the basic information, Lan Xiao reluctantly accepted Nana's request.

Nana said she did not want tuition fees and began demonstrating her superb Water Element Control.

When she transformed the water in the fountain on the first floor of the shopping center into nine water dragons, it caused a sensation throughout the entire mall.

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were both so shocked that their mouths hung open.

Just what level had this girl named Nana reached in Water Element Control?
