He actually mistook me for his sister?

Although Yao Lan knew that after drawing close to Yaoshi, his appearance would become more androgynous, he had never imagined that Tang Wulin would mistake him for a girl.

Still, this was good too. His current appearance was highly deceptive. Wouldn't winning over a little boy be effortless?

"What's wrong, little one?"

Yao Lan did not expose his gender. Instead, he wore a kindly smile, looking every bit like a gentle older sister.

"Um, how should I put this... It's just..."

After coming back to his senses, Tang Wulin became awkward instead. He did not know how to explain it to this older sister. He could not possibly just tell her the truth, could he?

Older sister, is there something about you that's attracting me?

That sounded strange, didn't it? And it was easy for people to get the wrong idea.

Tang Wulin was a genuinely well-behaved child. Unless someone bullied him, he would not casually do anything rude to others.

But right now, he truly felt troubled.

However, at that moment, Yao Lan waved and gestured for Tang Wulin to come closer. "Little brother, I know what your problem is, so come over and rest first! Once you've rested well, your problem will resolve itself!"

"Th-this... Thank you, big sister!" Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised, but driven by instinct, he still went to Yao Lan's side. Following Yao Lan's instructions, he sat down on Yao Lan's other side, copying Na'er beside him.

Ah! We're so close!

Tang Wulin's expression was a little unnatural. He was in a stranger's arms, and such a beautiful older sister at that... Yet for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness from her.

"So comfortable..."

In less than a minute, Tang Wulin's consciousness gradually grew hazy. Even his eyelids slowly closed as he fell asleep.

Everything was under Yao Lan's control!

Na'er's transformation was nearly complete. Next, he only needed to inject the Golden Dragon King's power into her. To put it more vividly:

Yao Lan, access granted!

Twin Stars of Gold and Silver, The Abundance's Power!

Golden Dragon King! Silver Dragon King! Ancestor of Myriad Dragons of the Abyss!

Oh, yeah!

Call my name—

Dragon God Na'er: Dragon Ancestor Form!

That was basically how it worked. But before extracting the power, Yao Lan had not forgotten one thing. Within the Golden Dragon King's seal inside Tang Wulin's body, there was also an existence called "Lao Tang," the very divine consciousness of Buddha.

"To be safe, I'd better use this..."

In the blink of an eye, Yao Lan's gaze turned vacant. A trace of purple welled up in his pupils, and even everything around the three of them was enveloped in purple.

Very quickly, Yao Lan concentrated this power on his fingertip and infused it into Tang Wulin's body the same way he had with Na'er.

But unlike Na'er, Yao Lan had no intention of turning Tang Wulin into his avatar, nor did he intend to grant him any power. He merely used this purple ability to erase the Golden Dragon King's seal within him, along with that sliver of Tang San's divine consciousness.

Crack—!

As something shattered, golden light began to shine from Tang Wulin's body. It quickly formed into a golden dragon head. Yet just as the dragon head was about to roar toward the sky, Yao Lan grabbed it and stuffed it directly into Na'er's body. The entire process was simple and brutal.

At this point, Tang San's divine consciousness no longer existed, and the Golden Dragon King's power had also been transferred into Na'er's body.

The power Yao Lan had used to accomplish that so easily was anything but ordinary... It was the power of Aeon of Nihility IX!

Though it had only been a strand of divine consciousness, under the influence of Nihility's power, it directly lost all meaning and was easily destroyed by Yao Lan in the end.

Where there was loss, there was gain; where there was gain, there was loss.

Tang Wulin losing the Golden Dragon King's power was not necessarily a bad thing. Although Blue Silver Grass was now all he had left, he would no longer have to bear countless responsibilities that did not belong to him like he would in the future. He could live like an ordinary person instead.

In the end, it was all Tang San's Ten Thousand Year Plan's fault, wasn't it?

"Since Tang San's divine consciousness is gone, Tang Hao and Ah Yin probably won't be able to awaken anytime soon either..."

"Next, it's up to me!"

Time passed bit by bit. Red Mountain Academy had long since let out, and no one should have been passing through here anymore.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps came from afar. There was not a trace of Soul Power on the person, clearly marking him as an ordinary man. Holding a flashlight, he ran anxiously along the road, seemingly searching for something.

"Wulin! Where are you?"

With that shout, the man's identity became obvious: Tang Wulin's adoptive father, Tang Ziran. Clearly, his child had been gone too long without returning, and as a father, he was frantic as he shouted and searched outside.

Then, as though he had discovered something, Tang Ziran ran toward Yao Lan at top speed, his expression turning excited.

"That's great, Wulin, I found you..."

"Sir? Are you this little brother's father?" Before Tang Ziran could say anything, Yao Lan spoke first.

"I'm Wulin's father. What's going on here?" After approaching, Tang Ziran noticed the problem as well. Why was his child sleeping with two girls? Had something happened?

"I'm very sorry. My younger sister and I were resting here when we saw a little boy walking past in a daze, so we called him over to rest for a while." Yao Lan sighed. "I planned to wake him later, but then I fell asleep too... You must have been very worried, right?"

"It's fine as long as he's okay, as long as he's okay!"

Once he learned that his child had merely returned late because of an accident, Tang Ziran was overjoyed. He had thought Wulin had been taken away by someone!

"Wulin, wake up! We're going home!"

At Tang Ziran's calls, Tang Wulin gradually regained consciousness. He looked around blankly, completely unable to understand the situation around him.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I do?

"Ah!"

Before Tang Wulin could sort out the situation, Tang Ziran delivered a chop to his head. "Wulin, we're going back! Hurry and thank this older sister. She stayed by your side while you were asleep."

"Ah!" Tang Wulin cried out, clearly remembering what had happened earlier. He quickly bowed to Yao Lan. "Older sister, thank you for helping me earlier!"

"Isn't 'thank you' a little too serious...? What if I'm a bad person?" Yao Lan wore a faint smile, making it impossible to tell whether he was speaking seriously or joking.

But in Tang Wulin's eyes, this older sister had to be joking. Wulin also revealed a shy smile. He still remembered that familiar warmth he had felt from her!

"Will we be able to meet again?"

"Who knows? Let's leave it to fate!"

"Oh, right!" Just as they were leaving, Yao Lan seemed to recall something. He lightly pointed at himself with his slender finger, a teasing smile appearing on his face. "There's something I should clarify!"

"Not older sister—older brother!"

Crack—!

It seemed like the sound of something shattering. Tang Wulin's entire expression instantly froze. His mouth only opened slightly, forming an expression that said, "Huh?"

Tang Wulin: So everything that happened just now was meaningless!

Looks like Nihility's power worked quite well!
