Brother and Sister Successfully Sign a Contract, Bonus Chapter

Over the past two days, Ling Yu had gained a little tagalong during his training.

Though he did not mind her watching him train, Ling Yu treated her like a child every time. Whenever she saw him sweating, she would thoughtfully hand him a towel and water. Overall, Ling Yu felt pretty good about it.

What made him happiest was that, after his physical foundation had been firmly laid and he had undergone the Grandmist Violet Qi cleansing, he learned ninjutsu and knowledge much faster than before.

Many things in books that he had not understood before now became clear to him quickly, and learning ninjutsu came naturally to him as well. This was the most direct manifestation of his improved comprehension.

Of course, Ling Yu would have felt even happier and more comfortable if a certain woman did not unconsciously climb into his bed every morning after waking up.

Ever since his appearance had changed somewhat, Bibi Dong's attitude toward him had become increasingly ambiguous, leaving him even more confused.

But an arm could not twist a thigh. He could only accept it indignantly while enjoying it.

Moreover, since Hu Liena had already started school these past two days, he only needed to take care of two women at once.

Over the past two days, his relationship with the sweet-looking little Gu Yuena had also quietly grown much closer, and the way they addressed each other had become more intimate.

Early that morning, after finishing his training, Ling Yu looked at the girl sitting behind him, her hands propping up her head as she watched him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He walked over, took her small hand, and headed down the mountain toward Spirit Hall.

Today was the little girl's martial soul awakening day. Ling Yu could clearly feel her hand tightening around his in his palm.

"Don't be nervous, Na'er!"

Ling Yu smiled at the girl. "No matter whether the martial soul you awaken is powerful or not, you'll still have me in the future!"

Gu Yuena looked at Ling Yu's face, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Little Yu Gege, if the martial soul I awaken isn't very good, will you protect me in the future?"

"Of course. Since you call me Gege, you're my little sister! I'll definitely protect you!"

Ling Yu answered without hesitation. Regardless of whether her talent was great or not, he truly regarded her as a younger sister in his heart.

In his previous life, he had only had his grandfather by his side, and after the age of ten, he had been completely alone. In this life, although he had Village Chief Grandpa, his teacher, and his senior sister, and these people were all inseparable family to Ling Yu, he wanted a younger sister or brother even more. This adorable girl acted like a childish little sister all day long, perfectly matching what Ling Yu wanted.

His words came entirely from the heart. No matter how strong or weak her martial soul was, he would definitely take care of her until the little girl felt she could stand on her own.

Though they had only spent a few days together, it was undeniable that, aided by the girl's beauty, Gu Yuena had indeed found a place in Ling Yu's heart—the place of family.

Hearing the firm answer from the boy beside her, Gu Yuena revealed an unprecedentedly happy smile, and her grip on his wrist tightened several degrees.

The little girl's thoughts were very simple now. After hearing Ling Yu's answer, she had already come to regard him as someone important.

"Even if... the enemy is very strong, would you still be willing to protect me?"

The girl did not know why she had asked such a question, but by the time she came back to herself, the words had already slipped from her mouth.

Ling Yu stopped walking and looked down into the girl's eyes. His gaze was incomparably serious and resolute as he said, word by word:

"No matter how powerful your enemies are, as long as they are in the wrong, as long as they dare hurt you, I will tear them apart alive! Even if I am still weak now, I have never doubted that I will become a powerhouse standing atop the mountain. If they want to hurt you, if they want to hurt my family, then they must first destroy my body and will completely. Otherwise—

As long as I am here, you will be safe!"

A golden gleam flashed through Ling Yu's resolute eyes, as though he were making a vow!

Gu Yuena's heart pounded as she looked at him, her cheeks flushing slightly. Ling Yu's words brought her endless security. She had never felt so strange before, never wanted so badly to get close to someone.

"Little Yu Gege, Na'er likes you!"

Ling Yu looked at the little girl beside him in surprise, taking her words entirely as the purest expression of a child's feelings.

He reached out and stroked the little girl's soft hair, then held her hand and continued down the mountain.

But where Ling Yu could not see, a hint of helplessness and resentment flashed through Gu Yuena's eyes before quickly vanishing!

The two arrived at Spirit Hall at the foot of the mountain. When the Spirit Hall soul masters there saw them, they immediately put down their work and respectfully bowed to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu looked at the scene somewhat helplessly and said softly, "There's no need for this. I only brought my little sister here for her martial soul awakening. May I ask which Grandmaster is handling the awakening today?"

A Spirit Hall knight clad in armor respectfully stepped forward. He first solemnly bowed to Ling Yu, then said respectfully, "Lord Ling Yu, Grandmaster Su Yuntao will be conducting the martial soul awakenings today!"

"Him?"

Ling Yu was somewhat surprised. Why was Su Yuntao here?

If he was here, what about Tang San?

Seeing Ling Yu's confusion, the knight explained, "It is like this: because Grandmaster Su Yuntao helped awaken your martial soul and contributed to your joining Spirit Hall and becoming His Holiness the Pope's direct disciple, His Holiness personally issued an order for him to handle martial soul awakenings at Spirit Hall from now on."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu showed a look of realization. It seemed that his appearance had indeed caused many changes. Even Su Yuntao had been rewarded with a position in Spirit City. This was an excellent job—not only was the pay high, but he could also build connections with many important figures in Spirit Hall. Those were priceless benefits.

Ling Yu nodded to the knight, thanked him, then led Gu Yuena into the hall by her little hand.

"Little Yu Gege, did Grandmaster Su Yuntao help awaken your martial soul?"

The little girl tightly held Ling Yu's hand with one hand while extending a finger from the other to rest against her lips, asking adorably.

"Yes!"

Ling Yu chuckled. "He's quite a famous person. Since he's awakening yours this time, you might awaken a very powerful martial soul!"

Gu Yuena nodded without really understanding. She did not know what kind of person Su Yuntao was, but since her Little Yu Gege said so, there had to be something special about him!

The two entered the awakening room, where a long line had already formed. After finding a place with Gu Yuena, Ling Yu noticed Su Yuntao standing at the front, looking somewhat plumper than before, and could not help nodding.

It seemed Su Yuntao had been eating well lately. He must have received quite a few rewards since coming here.
