Ling Feng: Call Me Boss or Big Brother

Home? But this place is our home.

Hu Liena was puzzled; at her tender age, she still did not understand the twists and turns behind these words.

I heard from Granny that you are going to this auntie's home, and you won't need to stay here anymore in the future.

You will have your own toys, and someone to take care of you.

The old woman continued to counsel them.

But there are toys here, and people who take care of us, too.

The old woman sighed, shaking her head helplessly. Trying to reason with two- or three-year-old children was truly far too difficult for her.

Nana, do you want to know where your parents are?

And you two little ones.

The old woman looked at the three of them.

Parents? What are parents?

The three children, who had lost their parents while still in swaddling clothes, naturally had no idea what the word parents represented. To these children who had lived in the orphanage since they were little, the word parents was inherently the most unfamiliar term.

Alas, poor babies, how could there be children with such a bitter fate?

Those damn fallen soul masters are truly hateful, filthy sewer rats!

Tuoba Yue'er cursed angrily. She was naturally a rather emotional person, and after seeing how pitiful these three children were, she also felt a stir of compassion.

After all, if not for this, Qian Renxue and Jin Chen would not have been calling someone auntie at every turn back then.

Better let me do it.

Tuoba Yue'er gave the old woman a reassuring look.

Your name is Nana, right? From now on, I am your mother. And you two little ones, do you know what you should call me?

The old woman's expression instantly lit up with joy. Originally, she had only thought the three children were favored by important figures to be raised as family servants, but now it seemed far beyond her imagination.

This was clearly the rhythm of taking these three children in as adopted sons and daughters.

Ling Feng watched from the side, finding it completely acceptable.

With the reality of adoption, Hu Liena and the other two would be even more obedient to him when they grew up.

Adoption and the master-disciple relationship in this era were essentially one and the same.

Mom?

Hu Liena tentatively called out.

There we go, good daughter. From now on, you are my, Tuoba Yue'er's, daughter.

And you two little adults, you don't need to be so serious. From now on, you are likewise my children.

Xie Yue and Yan nodded incomprehensibly, clearly unaware of the true meaning.

However, none of that mattered. As long as they came to Ling Feng's home, they would become the most loyal soul masters of the Qiangu Family from then on.

Seeing that the adoption relationship was settled, the old woman nodded as well and casually pulled out a booklet.

Lord Bishop, please register in this booklet. What is recorded in this booklet is the adoption situation of the children from the orphanage.

Most of them are adopted and raised by colleagues of both parents. Spirit Hall will periodically come over to inspect, which can also be considered a final layer of protection for the children.

This sentence was spoken by the dean to seek justice for the three children, even at the risk of offending such a massive family.

After all, people's faces are known, but not their hearts. If Spirit Hall did not keep a slight watch over these children after they were adopted, heaven knows what they might encounter in the future.

I am aware of this point; I won't make it difficult for the dean.

Tuoba Yue'er registered according to the regulations, and after registration, she brought the three little ones and the three bigger ones back into the courtyard of the Qiangu Family.

As soon as she entered, Hu Liena looked around everywhere.

Wow... This place is so pretty! There are flowers, fish, and over there, they're raising little fawns!

The courtyard of the Qiangu Family was not small; on the contrary, it was immense. Therefore, multiple areas each served their own function: a medicinal garden with ornamental and medicinal value, a lake raising spiritual fish decades and centuries old, and deer-type soul beasts providing meat for Ling Feng's family.

All kinds of facilities were readily available. For a high-ranking family of Spirit Hall, this could hardly be considered extravagant; it could even be called plain.

As far as Ling Feng knew, Jin Chen's family had a room built of pure gold, with the entire room and even the various pieces of furniture inside melted and cast from gold soul coins.

This was simply to allow Jin Chen to absorb the gold attribute into his body as much as possible before his awakening.

It's getting late. I'll go prepare lunch, and the six of you play first. Xiao Feng, remember not to bully your younger siblings.

I know, Mom.

Ling Feng curled his lip. Combining his past life and this one, he was already over thirty years old, so he naturally wouldn't take bullying children as a form of entertainment.

Since the three of you little ones have come to my house, you must do as I say.

I will teach you how to cultivate your martial souls, but accordingly, you must also pay a price.

I am the eldest son of the family, and the three of you should call me big brother or boss. Did you hear that?

Hearing this, the three led by Hu Liena all nodded.

I know-ling, bi-ig bro-other.

Hu Liena said unclearly.

Big brother.

Compared to Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan were much calmer. As orphans who had never been cherished since childhood, their minds were actually much more mature.

Coupled with the fact that people on the Douluo Continent matured relatively early, they understood their own situation.

They had a greater backing, but correspondingly, they also needed to provide returns.

Then as your big brother, I won't be stingy with you either.

If anyone dares to bully you in the future, drop my name, Ling Feng.

The three little ones nodded.

Subsequently, the group of six children played around in Ling Feng's home.

They picked flowers in the medicinal garden, jumped into the lake to scoop up fish, and even entered the habitat of the soul beasts to ride the deer.

This scared the hearts of the family servants of the Qiangu Family into beating wildly; if these little young masters and princesses so much as bumped or bruised themselves even a little, they would all lose their jobs.

Fortunately, with Ling Feng around, his dragon-type martial soul exerted a natural suppression on these low-level soul beasts.

Therefore, whether Hu Liena or Qian Renxue wanted a certain pretty flower or wanted to ride that pretty little fawn, Ling Feng could make it happen.

However, during this process, he also discovered that although Qian Renxue felt somewhat pity for Hu Liena's background, she only made Jin Chen take care of her a bit more.

Whenever Hu Liena wanted to get very close to Ling Feng, Qian Renxue would pull Ling Feng away.

Seeing that the few children were playing happily, Ling Feng didn't disturb them either.

He found a large rock and lay down on it, idly fiddling with the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand.

Yes, this was a set of martial soul cultivation methods passed down by the Qiangu Family, and it was also the greatest symbol of the Qiangu Family possessing the Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul.

That was, whenever they had free time, they would release their martial soul, transforming it into a pocket-sized Coiling Dragon Staff no longer than an ordinary embroidery needle.

Finally, their index finger would channel soul power to support the Coiling Dragon Staff, making it hover in their hand to be played with.

This was certainly not to show off, but rather a solid way to enhance one's own comprehension of the martial soul and various techniques.

Although Ling Feng's Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul was born somewhat like a semi-divine artifact, he could still cultivate this method just the same.

Yesterday, when he awakened his martial soul and the two Title Douluo, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, passed the secret technique on to him, he had been constantly pondering over it.

Now, after merely a day's time, he had already managed to achieve mastery.

Young master, young miss, Madam says to go have your meal first.

Before long, a young girl dressed like a maid came over to call the little ones to eat.

Alright, I know.
