Upon returning to the Martial Soul Main Hall, Bibi Han summoned two maidservants and had them help Na'er take a bath.
Bibi Han gently stroked Na'er's head and said, "Na'er, go take a bath. Don't worry, they won't hurt you. When you come out, we'll eat together."
Seeing Bibi Han's gentle smile, Na'er nodded and went with them.
After Na'er left, Ghost Douluo's voice suddenly sounded. "Little Han."
"Grandpa Ghost, what is it?"
"I went to investigate just now and found that no one in Gengxin City had ever seen this girl. It was as if she had appeared out of nowhere."
Bibi Han thought for a moment before replying, "Grandpa Ghost, when I walked into that alley, I felt a sense of closeness. Maybe Na'er really is extraordinary, but I'm certain that she won't harm me."
Ghostly thought it over and decided to observe Na'er in secret for a while.
Not long afterward, Bibi Han was seated at the dining table when a maidservant led Na'er over.
Bibi Han's eyes lit up when he saw her. He had to admit that Na'er looked beautiful in her white dress.
Her fair skin and delicate, well-proportioned features made her look like a finely carved porcelain doll. She was exceptionally adorable, and a faint fragrance wafted from her body.
"Na'er, come sit down and eat." Bibi Han beckoned to her.
Na'er looked at him somewhat hesitantly.
Bibi Han smiled, took her hand, and seated her beside him. Stroking her little head, he said, "I had all this delicious food specially prepared for you. Eat up, no need to be polite."
Once Na'er began eating, he started as well.
After exercising all day, they were both extremely tired. Coupled with their large appetites, the two of them wolfed down every dish on the table.
After everything was cleaned up, Bibi Han waved his hand again, and two more people arrived carrying a basket of toys.
"Na'er, do you want to play with toys? Big Brother will teach you."
Naturally, Bibi Han could not spend much time playing with Na'er. He still needed to cultivate.
Na'er nodded.
"By the way, Na'er, how old are you now?"
"I'll be six in three months."
"Oh~."
It seemed things really were different from the original story. Whether it was the timing or the age, everything had changed. He just did not know whether she would awaken her Martial Soul.
"Alright, Na'er. Big Brother is going to cultivate now. Play here slowly. If you need anything, just call for someone outside."
Na'er nodded.
Bibi Han stroked her adorable little face again, and Na'er did not resist. She did not dislike him. Perhaps it was because of that pill he had eaten.
Arriving at a secret chamber, he once again condensed a massive hammer with the Blue Silver God and began swinging it.
While Bibi Han was using the Blue Silver God, Na'er stared in the direction of his training room for a while.
She murmured inwardly, Why do I feel like I've sensed this aura before? Where did I sense it?
After that, Bibi Han went to Lou Gao's place every day to practice exerting force with a hammer under all kinds of bodily conditions, using hammers of various sizes.
Every day when he returned to the Martial Soul Main Hall, Na'er would be the first to greet him. Then she would massage his arms to ease the soreness in his hands. It had to be said that Na'er was far too obedient and sensible. Combined with her exquisite, adorable appearance, she was truly lovable.
At first, he had taken good care of Na'er only for the future of the human race. But now, Bibi Han genuinely liked her. She was obedient, sensible, and beautiful.
Even Grandpa Ghost gradually let down his guard around Na'er because of how adorable and sensible she was.
Three months later, Bibi Han had finally mastered all kinds of force-exertion techniques and hammer-swinging methods in different stances.
Bibi Han had already figured out the first forty-nine strikes of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. He had also worked out the path ahead; he only needed to continue practicing. With his help, Lou Gao had also reached twenty strikes of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
It was not that Bibi Han was unwilling to keep teaching him, but that he feared the people of the Clear Sky Sect would come assassinate Lou Gao if they found out.
He just wondered how long it had taken his Great-Grandfather Tang Chen to create this hammer technique.
"Good, good, good! Little Han, your learning ability is simply too strong. I don't even know how many years it took me to use these techniques flexibly."
"It's because you taught me well, Teacher." On Douluo Continent, one could only have one Master, but could have many teachers.
"Hahaha." Lou Gao laughed happily.
"Teacher, it's time for me to leave. If there are still scum like Miles in the Martial Soul Main Hall here, you must immediately report them to the Inspectorate Hall."
"I understand," Lou Gao said, his expression somewhat sorrowful.
"By the way, Teacher, I'd also like to ask you for a favor."
"Go ahead. What do you need my help with?" Lou Gao replied readily.
"This may require some of your rare ores, Teacher," Bibi Han said after hesitating for a moment.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? With all these rare ores you gave me, I probably couldn't use them up even if I lived until I died." Lou Gao's eyes gleamed as he looked at the rare ores piled nearby into several small mountains.
"I want you to forge me an expandable piece of clothing, like your Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor. But I need it to be heavier—preferably around 800 jin."
"That's all? No problem. You want to use this outfit for training, right? But let me warn you, 800 jin is very heavy. Be careful not to crush your body."
"No need to worry. I'll be completely fine." It was only eight-fifths the weight of a Clear Sky Hammer.
"If I could, I'd rather divide the 800 jin into shoes, clothes, and bracelets."
"You brat, are you trying to push your luck? Fine, fine. Come pick them up in a few days."
"Then see you in a few days, Teacher." After saying goodbye to his teacher, Bibi Han returned to the Martial Soul Main Hall.
Tomorrow was the day Na'er would awaken her martial soul. He wondered if she would have one.
As he opened the door, Na'er was already waiting for him outside.
"Big Brother!" Na'er called.
"Na'er, how did you know I'd come back so early today?"
"Because I can tell it's Big Brother just by hearing your footsteps. And Big Brother has a very special scent."
A scent... the aura of nature bestowed upon me by the Blue Silver God?
"Alright, Na'er. Big Brother won't train today. I'll play with you instead."
"Yay, yay!" Na'er cheered.
The next day, Bibi Han brought Na'er to the Awakening Hall.
"Na'er, stand in that awakening formation and awaken your martial soul."
Na'er nodded and walked over.
Would she awaken a martial soul or not? Never mind. Even if she didn't, I'd still take her back with me. Mother would surely like Na'er. And in another two years, when the Silver Dragon Spear appeared, there would be nothing to worry about.
