Na'er: Brother, Bad!

On the street, Na'er held a candied hawthorn skewer in each hand, munching away with great delight. Sometimes, she would even eat half of one and offer the rest to Lin Nuo.

"Brother, eat."

"Na'er, who eats half a skewer and then gives it to someone else?" Lin Nuo said, finding it somewhat amusing.

Na'er showed no sign of compromising, her tone filled with grievance and dissatisfaction: "Brother must eat it! Otherwise, it means you don't love Na'er anymore. You must like that female pervert more!"

Lin Nuo: "?"

He truly hadn't expected that this girl, Na'er, would bring up Tang Wuling every other sentence, calling her a "female pervert" at every turn. What was this, were they destined to be bickering enemies?

Helpless, he could only raise his hands in surrender: "Fine, fine, I'll eat it, okay?" As he spoke, he opened his mouth and ate the strawberry that Na'er had offered, the very one she had already bitten in half.

The fruit flesh melted upon contact, the clear, sweet juice spreading across his tongue. It was perfectly sweet, though it seemed to be mixed with some other flavor.

Furthermore, he couldn't help but feel that this was some sort of marking behavior by Na'er—though it was likely just his imagination.

Fate, however, is always full of coincidences; the very "female pervert" Na'er had just been talking about appeared right before them.

Tang Wuling happened to be standing in front of them. Seeing Na'er and Lin Nuo, she immediately waved happily: "Brother Lin Nuo, Na'er."

"Wuling." Lin Nuo nodded.

"Where are you two going?" Tang Wuling immediately walked up and asked curiously.

"We're going to get something to eat. Want to join us?"

"Is that okay?" Tang Wuling noticed Na'er's unfriendly gaze fixed firmly upon her, as if to say, "If you dare agree, I'll kill you."

Lin Nuo naturally sensed Na'er's displeasure. He reached out and patted her little head, saying: "Na'er, we're welcoming, right?"

To ensure the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King would live in peace in the future, he absolutely had to endure the incoming fire.

In short: "Desensitization."

Eventually, inside a small restaurant, Na'er sat there with narrowed eyes, staring daggers at Tang Wuling, who was busy devouring her meal across the table. How did this damn Golden Dragon King end up here?

Why must she ruin the wonderful meal time between me and Brother!

And Brother, too.

Na'er looked at Lin Nuo beside her with dissatisfaction and said: "Brother, bad!"

It was her own money, yet he actually let this female pervert Tang Wuling come along. Did he have any room left for her in his heart?

Hearing Na'er speak to him like that, Lin Nuo didn't argue. He personally peeled a shrimp and stuffed it into Na'er's mouth: "Alright, alright, it's Brother's fault. I'll peel shrimp for you, okay?"

Looking at the perfectly peeled shrimp, seeing that her brother had softened his stance, she finally nodded with a haughty air: "Understood."

Lin Nuo felt a bit happy seeing Na'er's reaction; she was just so easy to coax.

He continued peeling shrimp for Na'er, but she didn't just let him do the work; she picked up her bowl and fed him while he peeled.

Sitting across from them, Tang Wuling watched this scene with envy. She wanted that too...

When the restaurant owner came to settle the bill, he was stunned by the sight before him.

The table was piled high with a mountain of plates, and there sat three relaxed children. Whose kids were these, to have such an appetite?

Na'er casually pulled out a stack of money and handed it over: "Boss, check."

"Coming right up! Young Miss." The owner happily took the money and went to settle the bill.

Only then did Tang Wuling snap out of it and immediately say: "Um... Brother Lin Nuo, Na'er, I'll treat you two next time."

Na'er completely ignored Tang Wuling: "No need."

Lin Nuo remembered something then and invited Tang Wuling: "Wuling, come to my place for a moment. There's something I need to give you."

He had been wondering how to give that Soul Spirit to this girl, and since they had run into her and she happened to be alone, it was the perfect time to hand it over.

Hearing this, Na'er looked at her brother: "Brother, isn't it a bit too early to give it to her?"

Tang Wuling's soul power was only at level three; she felt it was far too early.

"It doesn't matter." Lin Nuo didn't think it was early. As long as he could make his "goodness" known to Old Tang in advance, that was all that mattered.

As long as he could subtly plant the seeds in Tang Wuling's heart, the flowers that would bloom one day would surely crush Old Tang!

Although Tang Wuling didn't know what the two were discussing, she chose to agree: "Okay."

The three of them walked down the street, though Na'er gripped her brother's hand tightly, staring at Tang Wuling like a little dragon guarding its food.

Faced with this situation, Tang Wuling naturally understood the reason for Na'er's reaction. She awkwardly scratched the back of her head, not knowing what to do.

"Relax, Na'er's personality is just like this, but she is a very kind sister." Lin Nuo naturally sensed the atmosphere was a bit off and spoke slowly to ease the awkwardness.

"Okay." Tang Wuling nodded obediently. Having received a good education since childhood, she understood that Brother Lin Nuo was trying to ease the tension.

She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked at Lin Nuo: "Brother Lin Nuo, I dreamt I heard a voice yesterday, saying something about being your father."

Hearing this, Lin Nuo stopped in his tracks, staring at Tang Wuling with an incredibly serious gaze. He could be certain that the voice belonged to an avatar of that Tang Great God King.

Na'er also looked at Tang Wuling with curiosity. She suspected that Tang Wuling was just making up stories to flirt with her brother. What a detestable female pervert!

Lin Nuo rubbed his chin in thought for a few seconds and said: "Wuling, if you hear that voice again tonight, curse right back at it. I am your father."

In this era, the protagonist Tang Wuling could be considered the most miserable protagonist in the entire Douluo tetralogy. As for the fifth installment, he hadn't read it.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline was indeed the reason Tang San was forced to send Tang Wuling down to the lower realm, but was that truly the case?

Perhaps from the very moment Tang Wutong was born, Tang San had already conceived a ten-thousand-year grand plan. It was originally executed perfectly, but unfortunately, the unsealing of the Golden Dragon King disrupted his entire rhythm.

It could be said that the protagonist Tang Wuling had long been living within her own father's chessboard.

The Douluo Continent during the era of the Dragon Kings could be said to have long since become a piece on the Sea God Tang San's chessboard; he was the chess player, while his parents were merely the executors following their son's commands.

Every uncontrollable factor had to be eliminated, such as the Underworld Emperor, that child of destiny, and... himself, at this moment.

He was somewhat curious about what role he would play in Tang San's chessboard, but he, Lin Nuo, preferred to be the chess player. A ten-thousand-year grand plan, was it?

Then he, Lin Nuo, would lay out two waves of ten-thousand-year grand plans and see how you manage to control the situation.

Within Tang Wuling's Sea of Consciousness, the figure of Old Tang slowly appeared. Seeing the figures of Lin Nuo and Na'er through his daughter's perspective, his voice carried a sense of gratification as it gently echoed within the Sea of Consciousness: "The Silver Dragon King, and this youth I cannot see through... It seems my daughter's ability to make friends is not a bit inferior to mine back in the day!"
