I Want to Stay and Be Big Brother's Little Sister

After that, he spent another day at school, still thinking about Na'er. When Tang Wu Lin learned what had happened, he also thought it was amazing that Wu Yang Jin had managed to defeat two people.

"Yang Jin, you're amazing!"

"Ah... not really. If they had Soul Power, I might not have been able to beat them."

"I need to work hard too!" Tang Wu Lin said, clenching his fists.

"Mm, keep it up. Oh, right—if it were you, Wulin, Uncle and Auntie would definitely think doing that was dangerous."

"Huh? That's true. If it were me, I would've gone to save that girl too."

After a full day of classes, the two of them returned to Tang Wu Lin's home. Wu Yang Jin was also eagerly waiting to hear news about Na'er.

"Uncle, Auntie, we're back!" Wu Yang Jin called as he knocked on the door.

"Ah... you're back. About Na'er, she..."

Just as they were about to speak, Na'er suddenly heard Wu Yang Jin's voice. She hurriedly ran out and threw herself into his arms, her voice choked with tears.

"Waaah! B-Big Brother! I don't want to leave!"

"Huh? Huh?! What's wrong, Na'er? Did someone bully you? Or did you find your family and not want to leave?"

He comforted Na'er and helped her calm down. After a while, Uncle and Auntie explained the situation to him.

"Sigh, about Na'er... Today, we took her out to look, but we couldn't find her family."

"Huh? You couldn't find them?"

"That's right. We also asked some people around the area today, but no one knew anything."

"Then... Uncle, Auntie, why is Na'er crying?"

"Ah... well..."

"B-Big Brother, I don't want to leave! I don't want to go to an orphanage!"

Na'er suddenly said.

"An orphanage?"

"Yes. Since we couldn't find Na'er's family, your auntie and I thought that neither of you could take care of her on your own. There were a few options, and one was to send her to an orphanage."

"Wait, then that means..."

"That's right. The other option was for us to adopt her. She would still live with you, in practice. But before we could finish explaining, Na'er started crying, and then you two came back."

"Huh? I-Is that so? Does that mean I don't have to leave?" Na'er suddenly asked.

"That's right, Na'er," Tang Zi Ran said.

"That's great, Na'er! We can live together!" Wu Yang Jin finally said those words to Na'er with complete relief.

"Mm! Thank you, Uncle and Auntie!" Na'er said to Tang Zi Ran and Lang Yue.

Looking at Na'er's adorable smiling face, Wu Yang Jin finally couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching her cheeks, treating her as his little sister.

Other than Old Long, he could finally say that he had family.

Although Na'er seemed a little distant and did not like talking much, Wu Yang Jin felt an inexplicable sense of closeness and reassurance around her.

Moreover, from then on, whenever Wu Yang Jin reached out to pinch her cheeks or pat her head, she never had any desire to resist. Most of the time, she even found it comfortable, though she would get a little shy.

Although he had more or less decided that Na'er would stay the night before, it was now truly settled.

After dinner, Wu Yang Jin took Na'er back first.

As for arranging Na'er's room and clothes in the future, he still needed to hear more of Uncle and Auntie's opinions. They could discuss all that over the weekend.

After returning home, he sat on the sofa and began meditating. Na'er stayed nearby, watching Wu Yang Jin. From time to time, she would run around the house, getting familiar with the place.

"Ah, Na'er, you were still waiting for me?" Wu Yang Jin asked after finishing his meditation.

"Mm, because Na'er doesn't want Big Brother to meditate alone and feel lonely. Na'er hopes that when Big Brother opens his eyes, the first person he sees will be Na'er."

"Mm, Na'er is so sensible!" he said, stroking her little head.

"Big Brother, Na'er wants to ask you a question."

"Mm? What do you want to ask?"

"Big Brother's Martial Soul is very powerful, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then in the future... will I be like Big Brother too?"

At that, he realized he had forgotten about this. What would Na'er's Martial Soul be? Or rather, where had Na'er come from?

No, no, no. Maybe he was overthinking it. It was impossible for her to have come from somewhere special, right? No, no, that was unlikely.

"Mm... Na'er definitely will. Because Na'er is my little sister, and Na'er is so wonderful. Her Martial Soul will definitely be powerful too."

"Mm! Then, Big Brother, good night!"

With that, Na'er ran back to her room to sleep, while he still slept on the sofa and entered the Sea of Consciousness.

"Mm? You're here?" Old Long asked.

"Mm, Old Long, where do you think Na'er came from?"

"That question... this old man doesn't know either. But I can sense the same feeling from her as from Tang Wu Lin."

"The same as Wulin?"

At that moment, the Snow Empress chimed in.

"That's right, Little Jin. I can also sense that this child is extraordinary. Or rather... she resembles that person..."

That person? Hearing this, Wu Yang Jin wondered who Sister Xue could possibly know. And judging by her expression, it seemed to be more than simple familiarity.

How should he put it? It was like the relationship between Lin Xi Meng, the teacher, and himself, the student.

"Still, we'll take it one step at a time. Since you've decided to be this child's big brother, you must take good care of her," Old Long said.

"Mm, I know. I'll definitely be a good big brother."

"By the way, Little Jin, how is your meditation progressing?"

"I don't feel any problems at all. When I meditate, I feel incredibly comfortable."

"Mm. Oh, right, there's something I want to show you," Old Long said.

As he spoke, he took out a golden-red sphere and handed it to Wu Yang Jin.

"Absorb this. It can greatly enhance your Black Dragon Martial Soul, your Dragon Bloodline, and your adaptability."

"Huh? Old Long, what exactly is this?"

"If I had to put it into words, it's a dragon blood mixture. But it isn't mine. Rather... you could say it came from a powerful dragon, and I condensed it into a sphere."

"I understand. Then I'll absorb it now."

As he spoke, he sat down. Old Long then levitated the sphere and slowly floated it toward Wu Yang Jin's forehead, where it gradually merged into him.

"Mm? No reaction at all? Looks like he's the same as he was back then..." the Snow Empress said.

"Mm, this old man thinks so too. Although he went through such an ordeal, what he once possessed still exists within him. That can be considered a benefit."

Wu Yang Jin did not hear their conversation. While absorbing it, he was isolated from the outside world. Before long, the absorption was complete.

"How do you feel?" Old Long asked.

"Mm, it feels strange, and my body feels more agile and comfortable."

"Mm, try activating your Black Dragon Martial Soul."

Wu Yang Jin activated his Black Dragon Martial Soul. A blurry purple Soul Ring appeared around him.

"Huh? Purple? That's it?"
