Adopting Na'er

Su Hao's eyes lit up when he heard Na'er's answer. He immediately remembered that, as children, both Na'er and Tang Wulin carried the origins of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King within them, which was why they could eat so much. Smiling, he invited Na'er, "Then why don't you come home with me? My house is big and beautiful, and there's lots of delicious food!"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Na'er hesitated for a moment. But under the protests of her stomach, along with the unfamiliar yet favorable impression she had of Su Hao, she ultimately accepted his invitation.

Seeing that Na'er had accepted, Su Hao smiled faintly and said to her, "My name is Su Hao. From now on, you can call me Brother Su or Brother Hao."

Na'er nodded after hearing this and obediently called out to Su Hao, "Brother Su."

Tang Wulin, who was standing nearby, hurried forward as well and introduced himself to Na'er. "Na'er, my name is Tang Wulin. From now on, you can call me Brother Wulin."

Na'er obediently called out to Tang Wulin as well, "Brother Wulin."

Seeing that it was getting late, and since his home was not far from there, Tang Wulin said goodbye to Su Hao and Na'er before heading home first.

After returning home, Tang Wulin eagerly told Lang Yue everything that had happened.

Lang Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this. In the end, she crouched down and stroked Tang Wulin's hair as she said, "Wulin, you really were a little impulsive today. Fortunately, your classmate was there with you. Otherwise, if you had faced those Hoodlums alone, who knows what might have happened. The next time you do something, think about the consequences first. If you can't handle them, go find other adults nearby first. Understand?"

Tang Wulin also assured Lang Yue that he would not be so impulsive again.

Seeing how obedient Tang Wulin was, Lang Yue told him to wash his hands and get ready for dinner.

Tang Wulin immediately went to wash his hands. Afterward, he helped Lang Yue set out the dishes and prepared to eat.

On the other side, seeing that Tang Wulin had already left, Su Hao no longer lingered. He called Na'er over and quickly headed toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Before long, Su Hao brought Na'er to the City Lord's Mansion. When the driver saw that Su Hao had returned safely, he took his leave and drove the car back to the school before departing.

After learning from Su Hao what had happened that afternoon, Su Lie heard from Na'er that she had no family. He had initially considered sending her to the Orphanage, but he could not withstand Su Hao's earnest pleas. In the end, he agreed to adopt Na'er.

After agreeing to adopt Na'er, Su Lie told Su Hao and Na'er to get ready for dinner. Su Hao took Na'er to wash her hands, and the two then sat obediently at the dining table, waiting for the Chef to finish preparing the meal.

Before long, the food was ready and was brought to the table by the Maid. Then, the three of them began eating heartily. Not long after, Su Hao and Su Lie had both finished eating.

Yet when Su Hao saw that Na'er was still eating without pause, he was stunned. Although he had long known that Na'er could eat a lot, he had not expected her to have already eaten three or four times as much as he had—and she was still eating. Only after eating for a while longer did Na'er finally stop.

Once Na'er had finished, Su Hao took her to choose a new room for herself, then returned to his own room to meditate and cultivate.

And so, a week passed.

Over that week, because Su Hao had deliberately befriended Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin now trusted him greatly and had become a close friend with whom he could talk about anything. Su Hao felt somewhat guilty about this, but he soon hardened his resolve again.

If not for Tang San's Ten Thousand Years plan, perhaps he and Tang Wulin could have become very good friends.

But because of Tang San's Ten Thousand Years plan, before reaching the Life Core of that Douluo plane, Su Hao could only maintain good relations with Tang Wulin.

One day, just after Su Hao returned home from school, he saw someone dressed in Spirit Pagoda attire standing in his home, apparently discussing something with his adoptive father.

When Su Lie saw Su Hao return, he beckoned for him to come over.

Su Hao walked to Su Lie's side and heard the Spirit Pagoda Staff member say, "Young Master Su, your situation has just been reported. The Staff member who awakened you has already submitted a report. Based on your circumstances at the time, we have prepared two options for you."

The Spirit Pagoda Staff member paused before continuing, "One option is for us to provide you with a Hundred-Year Spirit suitable for your Martial Soul. The other is for you to randomly draw two Spirits from the Spirit Pagoda's Hundred-Year Spirit Pool."

After speaking, the Spirit Pagoda Staff member gestured for him to make his choice.

Su Hao was about to choose the first option, but he stopped as he remembered the [Great Fortune] trait that that unscrupulous system had given him.

With his luck, the two Hundred-Year Spirits he drew would definitely be more suitable than the one the Spirit Pagoda provided.

With that thought, Su Hao chose the second option without hesitation.

When the Spirit Pagoda Staff member heard Su Hao choose the second option, he did not try to dissuade him and simply continued, "Since you have chosen the second option, the following will be the Spirit Pagoda's sponsorship for you. From the moment you obtain your Spirits onward, you will have one opportunity every week to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform for training. This sponsorship will continue until you reach Three Rings. Any benefits afterward will be determined based on your future potential. Do you have any objections?"

Su Hao considered it for a moment and felt that the benefits offered by the Spirit Pagoda were quite good. He replied to the Spirit Pagoda Staff member, "That's fine. I don't think there are any problems."

After hearing Su Hao say that there were no problems, the Spirit Pagoda Staff member took a Soul Tool Ring from his pocket and handed it to Su Hao. "This is a Soul Tool Ring from the Spirit Pagoda. Keep it safe. It contains two cubic meters of storage space, as well as several cards. One is your Spirit Pagoda work card. In the future, you can contribute to the Spirit Pagoda through work to upgrade your authorization, and you can also use this card at any Spirit Pagoda to exchange items for cultivation resources. The other two, which bear Soul Beast designs, are Spirit Cards that allow you to obtain two Hundred-Year Spirits for free. They can also be used at any Spirit Pagoda. The remaining card is a Spirit Ascension Card that allows you to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform before reaching Three Rings. Keep it safe. If you lose it, remember to report it immediately. All right, those are all the benefits currently available to you. Do you have any other questions?"

After speaking, the Spirit Pagoda Staff member looked at Su Hao. When Su Hao indicated that he had no further questions, the Spirit Pagoda Staff member bid him farewell.
