I'm Still a Child (Please Bookmark! Please Keep Reading!)

Hearing Lin Xianxian's indignant voice, Lin Tianyi was first stunned, then asked with a hint of delight.

"Really?"

Why did I hear delight in your tone? Shouldn't you be angry? (>_<)

Lin Xianxian puffed out her cheeks and said unhappily.

Lin Tianyi said solemnly,

"Xianxian, you know, I'm still a child."

"Adults like children. She probably kissed me to thank me for saving her. Don't get the wrong idea."

Is that so? (??_??)?

Lin Xianxian asked suspiciously.

"Of course. Besides, you're the only one in my heart." Lin Tianyi effortlessly recited a scumbag's line, declaring it with shameless devotion.

Hehe, I wasn't actually that angry. (^-^)

Lin Xianxian said shyly, completely losing her earlier furious look.

That was close... Lin Tianyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Qian Renxue holding him, and glanced around in confusion, only to realize they were no longer in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"We escaped?"

A gentle smile appeared on Qian Renxue's stunningly beautiful face as she nodded softly.

She raised her jade-like hand and gently stroked Lin Tianyi's little head before asking softly,

"My name is Qian Renxue. What's your name, little brother?"

"My name is Lin Tianyi."

"Lin Tianyi..." Qian Renxue repeated the three words in a murmur, as though she wanted to etch them into her heart and never forget them.

Then, she looked at Lin Tianyi somewhat nervously and asked,

"Would you be willing to be my little brother?"

"I would." Lin Tianyi nodded with a grin. Only someone with something wrong with his brain would refuse.

As the number one rich and beautiful girl on the Douluo Continent, if he became her little brother, wouldn't he be able to swagger wherever he pleased? Even a Title Douluo would have to light him a cigarette upon seeing him.

Originally, Lin Tianyi had planned to rely on his own efforts to change his family's poor circumstances. Now, everything had been settled in one step.

So what if his parents were ordinary farmers from the countryside? So what if his family was poor? So what if his parents weren't Soul Masters?

As long as he held tightly onto Qian Renxue's long, beautiful legs, nothing would be a problem!

Hearing Lin Tianyi agree to become her little brother, Qian Renxue immediately blossomed into a smile, so beautiful it defied description, like the most exquisite flower in the world coming into bloom.

Her slender arms tightly embraced Lin Tianyi, and she looked at him with tender eyes as she said softly,

"Good little brother, as long as your sister is here, no one will ever bully you. Whatever you want, Sister will do everything she can to get it for you."

Qian Renxue, who had been severely deprived of love since childhood, seemed determined to pour all her feelings into Lin Tianyi and treat him as her real little brother.

Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo exchanged silent looks, each seeing helplessness in the other's eyes. It seemed they would have another little ancestor to serve in the future.

Afterward, Qian Renxue asked Lin Tianyi where he lived.

When she learned that Lin Tianyi lived in Lin Family Village, dozens of li outside Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes filled with intense delight. This way, it would be much more convenient for her to see Lin Tianyi every day.

She asked whether Lin Tianyi had obtained a soul ring. After receiving an affirmative answer, Qian Renxue nodded with a smile and brought Lin Tianyi back to Lin Family Village.

They did not hurry along the way. Qian Renxue took Lin Tianyi around to eat, drink, and have fun, and their relationship quickly changed from unfamiliarity to intimacy.

Lin Tianyi became increasingly adept at calling her "Sister," addressing her that way at every turn. Qian Renxue's heart practically melted, and she wished she could buy, bring, or steal every good thing in the world for him!

Without realizing it, a journey that should have taken a few days was stretched out to half a month.

Outside Lin Family Village, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Tianyi with great reluctance.

"Tianyi, once Sister obtains her soul ring, I'll come find you. Don't forget Sister."

Lin Tianyi nodded with a grin.

Qian Renxue smiled gently, then crouched down and kissed Lin Tianyi's tender little face again and again. Only then did she reluctantly stand up and slowly walk away, turning back at every step.

Only after Qian Renxue disappeared from sight did Lin Tianyi turn around and return to Lin Family Village.

After Lin Tianyi's brainwashing, Lin Xianxian no longer reacted too strongly to Qian Renxue kissing Lin Tianyi's little face.

After all, Qian Renxue and Lin Tianyi were nine years apart, and they had such a close sister-brother relationship. What was wrong with an older sister kissing her little brother? It was perfectly reasonable!

After Lin Tianyi's constant coaxing along the way, Lin Xianxian no longer held any hostility or wariness toward Qian Renxue.

Before even entering Lin Family Village, Lin Tianyi suddenly slapped his forehead. He had nearly forgotten something important.

He immediately called Lin Xianxian out.

A dense white light shot out from his body, transforming into an exquisitely cute little girl carved from pink jade. Her holy white dress fluttered around her, making her seem like the child of a celestial maiden, with an ethereal, immortal air.

Then Lin Tianyi took Lin Xianxian's little hand and walked into Lin Family Village.

As they passed the village entrance, they happened to see the village chief, hunched over with graying hair, sitting beneath the shade of a tree to cool off.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look.

The instant he saw Lin Tianyi, excitement flashed through the village chief's cloudy old eyes.

It had been nearly a month. Second Young Master had finally returned!!

He hurriedly rose from his recliner and strode toward Lin Tianyi. His back was no longer bent, and his legs no longer seemed weak.

Only when he was nearly in front of Lin Tianyi did he suddenly remember that he was supposed to be an ordinary, hunchbacked old man.

So he quickly bent over again and shuffled toward Lin Tianyi with unsteady steps.

Lin Tianyi nearly thought he was hallucinating.

He had actually seen the village chief, who was usually so frail he seemed incapable of withstanding the wind, walking toward him in great strides with his back straight.

Fortunately, after rubbing his eyes, he found that the village chief had returned to his usual frail, hunched appearance.

"So it was an illusion. That scared me." Lin Tianyi patted his chest and sighed in relief.

Once the village chief reached him, he asked with concern why Lin Tianyi had been gone for nearly a month, saying that his parents had been so worried they could barely eat all day.

Hearing that his parents had been anxious and frightened for over half a month, Lin Tianyi's little face changed. He hurriedly pulled Lin Xianxian toward home, not even stopping to say goodbye to the village chief.

Watching Lin Tianyi's small figure run away, the village chief let out a breath of relief.

Second Young Master had finally returned. Now the master and madam could finally rest easy.

However, confusion appeared in his eyes.

Why wasn't the Title Douluo the master had mentioned with him? Instead, there was an unfamiliar little girl of six or seven.

After returning home, Lin Tianyi immediately shouted,

"Father, Mother, I'm back!"

Almost the instant his voice rang out, two gray-blue figures rushed from the main hall.

Seeing Lin Tianyi, Qin Hui lost control of her emotions and ran over, tightly hugging him as she choked out, "My child, you're finally back. You scared Mother to death."

Lin Tu also strode over, his tiger-like eyes carefully examining Lin Tianyi from head to toe again and again. Once he saw that he was completely unharmed and breathing steadily, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He did not hug Lin Tianyi and cry like Qin Hui, saying mushy things.

A father always hid his love deep in his heart, using silent actions to show his care and love for his family.

At that moment, Lin Tu suddenly noticed that the mysterious Title Douluo was not beside Lin Tianyi. There was only an exquisitely cute little girl.

He was somewhat puzzled. What was going on? The mysterious Title Douluo had not returned with him?

Lin Tu then looked at Lin Tianyi and asked,

"Tianyi, why didn't your teacher come back with you?"
