Breath of the Ice Crimson

"This is?"

"The money inside is what I got from selling the house. I'll use it as my living expenses. I'll repay my brother properly when I make money in the future," Little Bai Yu said with a smile.

Ling Yuan fell silent.

A little girl actually handed money to a stranger.

Is she naive, foolish, or... cunning?

"System"

"Ding! Detection complete. System judgment: Stunned."

Ling Yuan: "?"

"Does that mean this child is truly naive?" Ling Yuan wondered to himself.

"Ding! Yes, it can be seen that it is well protected."

"..."

It seems he was overthinking it.

Looking at Little Bai Yu, Ling Yuan pushed the card back. "Keep this money for yourself."

"Huh? But Grandpa told me that everything should be exchanged for something of equal value. My brother took me in, so he must be..."

"Did your grandfather ever tell you that home is a safe haven forever?" Bai Yu was interrupted by Ling Yuan before she could finish speaking.

Little Bai Yu was stunned.

"Alright, all of you stop looking and come out." Ling Yuan turned around helplessly and said to the void.

"Hehe, we've been found out."

Laughter rang out in the void as several women emerged from the Imaginary Space.

Little Lingxi approached Little Bai Yu and extended her hand. "Hello, Bai Yu sister, I am Lingxi, your brother's sister. You can call me sister if you don't mind."

"Sister Lingxi".

"Mmm, so cute! Let me hug you!"

Little Lingxi hugged Bai Yu tightly.

"Sister An'an, thank you for your help this time." Ling Yuan said to Gu An'an.

"It's okay, I'm happy chatting with Little Bai Yu."

"I have something to do on my end, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Take care, Sister An'an. I'll treat you to a meal sometime," Ling Yuan said, waving goodbye.

"Good."

After seeing Gu An'an off, Ling Yuan looked at Little Bai Yu and smiled slightly, "Let's go home."

"Brother Ling Yuan, you're back."

Ling Yue stood up and spoke when she saw the group of people entering.

Then, Ling Yuan's attention was drawn to Bai Yu, who was being led by the hand. "Who is she?"

"My sister's name is Bai Yu, and this is Ling Yue, my friend," Ling Yuan introduced.

"Hello, Sister Ling Yue." Little Bai Yu greeted Ling Yue.

Hello Bai Yu.

"It's strange, why do I feel unusually satisfied when I hear Bai Yu call me 'sister'?" Ling Yue herself found it odd.

She clearly had no desires or wants.

"Perhaps it's because you've been playing the role of my sister for too long," Ling Yuan said.

Ling Yue: "..."

I'm so annoyed.

Chapter 538 The Ice Scarlet Breathing

"Xiaoyu, are you still in school?"

Ling Yuan, who was earning money by coding, suddenly asked.

"I'm not going."

Little Bai Yu, who was playing with Xiao Li and Kanna, was taken aback for a moment, and then said.

He nodded and continued, "How old are you now?"

"13 years old."

"13, which means you didn't go to junior high school?" Ling Yuan asked curiously.

"Yes, school was supposed to start in September, but Grandpa is gone, so there's no point in going to school anymore." Little Bai Yu lowered her head in disappointment.

Xiao Li gently patted her head. "It's okay, from now on we're your family."

"Thank you, Xiao Li."

Seeing this, Ling Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Xiaoyu, you still need to go to school. I will help you transfer your records and help you resume your studies in a while."

Little Bai Yu was taken aback. "Thank you, brother."

"Xiaoyu, come and have some ice cream." Ranran walked over with an ice cream.

"Thank you, Sister Ranran."

"You're welcome."

Ranran smiled slightly and gently pinched Little Bai Yu's soft cheek.

"I feel like this place has really become a daycare center."

Ling Yuan looked at Xiao Li, Kanna, Ophis, Lestia, Athena (Loli version), Little Lingxi, Little Bai Yu, and couldn't help but sigh.

In addition, there's Sakuya and Kallen from Shanghai.

The future holds great challenges and a long road ahead.

After thinking it over, Ling Yuan closed his laptop and headed towards Kiana's room.

Inside the room, Kiana, who was playing a game, glanced at Ling Yuan but then ignored him.

Ling Yuan sat on the bed, took out his phone, and dialed Wang Jing's number.

The call was answered very quickly.

"Uncle Wang."

"Oh, it's Ling Yuan. What's up?"

"I want you to help me transfer Bai Yu School's records."

"No problem," Wang Jing readily agreed.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang. Also, I'd like to ask if there are any vacant plots of land left in Tianmang City?"

"There are too many people in the family, and it's not enough room for everyone."

"?"

Wang Jing, on the other side, was stunned for a moment.

Then it dawned on me.

Given the number of people in Ling Yuan's family, the small villa of over 200 square meters is indeed a bit small.

But

"Ling Yuan, with your rank of Major General, aren't you entitled to a villa?" Wang Jing asked, puzzled.

The living space for a major general is 500 square meters, which should have already been allocated in principle.

However, the next sentence completely baffled Wang Jing.

Ling Yuan: "Can we tear it down and rebuild it?"

Wang Jing: "..."

This apartment layout is so unsatisfactory!

"I want something distinctive, the distribution looks the same all the time."

Wang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "If you really don't like that apartment type, I can use my authority to get you a different plot of land."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang. Let's change it this way."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you tonight. Come over and take a look tomorrow morning."

"Uncle Wang very much, Uncle Wang."

"It's nothing, I should thank you for taking care of Wang Ming."

After exchanging a few polite words, Ling Yuan hung up the phone.

"Are we moving to a new house?" Kiana asked curiously.

"Yes, we'll use it as our wedding room."

Ling Yuan chuckled softly and walked out of the room.

Kiana: "..."

"Cecilia, could you please sleep with Bai Yu tonight?" Ling Yuan asked Cecilia after they came out.

"What's the trouble? Of course, I like Bai Yu very much too."

Cecilia tucked a strand of silver hair behind her ear and smiled gently.

"Is this my wife? Oh my, she's so gentle."

Ling Yuan was moved.

"Slap slap"

Ling Yuan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"To celebrate the arrival of Xiaoyu, we're going out for dinner tonight. What would you like to eat?"

"Go out to eat? Yay!" Little Lingxi jumped up happily.

"Food..." Kanna's eyes lit up, and saliva dripped down her throat.

"I want to go to the capital!" Little Lingxi said.

"Too expensive, next one." Ling Yuan refused without even thinking.

"Huh?" Little Lingxi was stunned.

Isn't it a bit too straightforward?

The others couldn't help but smile kindly.

Night

Once a location was decided, Ling Yuan drove everyone off.

During the trip, I casually invited a certain old man and his girlfriend over.

"Where did this little sister of yours come from? Could she be Contract Beast like Ophis?"

Wang Ming looked at the fair-skinned Little Bai Yu and reached out to poke her bouncy cheek with his finger.

He hadn't forgotten that Ling Yuan had tricked him into thinking Ophis was his sister.

"No, this is my cousin, we are related by blood."

"Ophis even has a symbiotic relationship with you," Wang Ming retorted.

Ling Yuan: "..."
