Xiao Wuyue Wants to Work to Earn Money to Support Lu Chuan!

That night, Tang Ziran slept on the sofa, Xiao Wuyue slept in the master bedroom with her mother, and Lu Chuan slept in Xiao Wuyue's bed. The bright moonlight spilled through the window and onto the bed. Lu Chuan tilted his head to look outside, where a crescent moon hung upside down in the night sky. Faintly, it seemed to hold the shadow of the Silver Dragon King. You are so clever; you must have left a contingency plan, right?

The next morning, Tang Ziran took Lu Chuan to the police station early. Every piece of information was exactly as Lu Chuan had described. However, there was one detail Tang Ziran had only just learned: Lu Chuan's martial soul was actually a Golden Dragon! A top-tier beast martial soul! Furthermore, according to the files, Lu Chuan had possessed innate full soul power when his martial soul awakened! A top-tier beast martial soul combined with innate full soul power—even if Tang Ziran were to lose his mind, he would still know that, barring any accidents, Lu Chuan was destined to become a Titled Douluo, or perhaps even a Super Douluo or Limit Douluo! Tang Ziran's throat bobbed. With the intention of letting Lu Chuan take responsibility for his own future, he asked once more, "Xiao Chuan, think carefully. With your talent, any faction would groom you as their successor. Do you still want to come home with me?"

"I do!" Lu Chuan answered firmly, without the slightest hesitation. As the saying goes, those close to the water get the moonlight first. In this current environment, a future wife must be raised from a young age! Lu Chuan understood this principle well, but Tang Ziran was in a bind. His family's circumstances were those of an ordinary working-class household with no savings to speak of. Adopting Lu Chuan would, at best, only provide him with enough food to be full. If Lu Chuan had no martial soul, it wouldn't matter, but he possessed top-tier talent. This meant that he would need to earn a massive amount of gold soul coins to purchase soul spirits and the cultivation resources a soul master required... Otherwise, he would be wasting Lu Chuan's talent!

"Should I adopt him, or not?" Tang Ziran hesitated in his heart.

His left brain wanted to accept, but his right brain refused.

Caught in a tug-of-war, the good and evil little devils within him were forced out to clash!

It wasn't until a childish voice rang out

that the dispute between the two little devils finally ended:

"Dad, I really want to go home with you!"

Lu Chuan spoke again.

This time, it wasn't "Uncle,"

nor was it "Mister Uncle,"

but "Dad!"

"Xiao Chuan, what did you call me?" Tang Ziran lowered his head, looking at Lu Chuan in astonishment.

Lu Chuan beamed, repeating:

"I called you Dad, of course!"

As for calling his future father-in-law that, he felt absolutely no psychological burden.

Besides, if you want to snatch someone's little cabbage, how can you do it without offering a sweet treat first?

That was what Lu Chuan was thinking.

But Tang Ziran didn't know that.

He only knew

that he was happy, incredibly happy right now!

He had always wanted a son, but unfortunately, his wife had suffered physical damage from drug trials in her early years.

Now that he had such an outstanding son, how could he not be overjoyed!

"Chuan'er!"

"Dad!"

The father-in-law and son-in-law embraced and wept, each harboring their own secret agenda.

One wanted him as a son, the other wanted his daughter.

Without further hesitation, Tang Ziran took Lu Chuan to complete the adoption process, not even thinking to notify Xiao Lingtong or Lang Yue.

Throughout the entire process, the smile on his face never once faded.

After finishing the paperwork, the two of them, one big and one small, headed home.

Pushing the door open, Tang Wuyue was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Her snow-white little feet swayed back and forth, looking quite delectable.

Seeing Tang Ziran enter, the little girl hurriedly jumped off the sofa, slipped into her slippers, and greeted him with a grin, "Dad, you're back so early?"

Tang Ziran nodded with a smile, crouched down, and opened his arms, wanting to give his daughter a hug.

Yet, he saw his little "padded jacket" trot past him on her small feet, running straight toward Lu Chuan.

"Brother Lu Chuan, you're back too!"

Lu Chuan nodded with a beaming smile.

Seeing Tang Ziran's face dark and gloomy as he lay on the sofa in deep frustration, he hurriedly urged Xiao Wuyue to go comfort her father.

Xiao Wuyue was a good listener; wearing her little rabbit slippers on her fair, tender feet, she trotted "tap-tap-tap" over to the sofa.

Her soft, pink hands first kneaded Tang Ziran's shoulders, then she used her tiny fists to "thump-thump-thump" on his back.

After busying herself for quite a while, she asked cautiously:

"Daddy, Brother Lu Chuan isn't leaving anymore, right?"

Tang Ziran let out a sigh, feigning melancholy.

"He isn't leaving for now, but who knows what the future holds."

"Ah? Why?" Xiao Wuyue's hands stopped moving.

"Your little brother is too talented. The big brothers and sisters from the Federation, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Tang Sect are all fighting over him. Our family doesn't have enough money to support him, so... I'm afraid we'll have to send him away eventually."

"No! That won't do! Daddy, you have to think of something!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wuyue grew anxious. She shook Tang Ziran with her small hands, her eyes turning slightly red as if she were about to cry.

Tang Ziran swayed along with Xiao Wuyue's rhythm, his face full of sorrow, though he was secretly chuckling inside.

After laughing for a good while, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and prepared to tell Xiao Wuyue the truth. However, just as he pulled the adoption papers out of his briefcase, a question from Xiao Wuyue drifted into his ears:

"Daddy, does the repair shop where you work still need an apprentice? I want to learn mecha repair so I can earn money to spend on Brother Lu Chuan!"

In an instant, Tang Ziran felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

He looked back at his daughter, then at Lu Chuan, feeling as though he had personally plucked his own cabbage to feed a pig!

Fortunately, Lu Chuan had lived a previous life and understood a thing or two about social graces, so he quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Tang Ziran.

"Dad, please calm down. My sister is still young and simple-minded; she doesn't know how to express herself. She actually wants to help you share the burden of earning money."

"Actually, I want to as well. I want to learn blacksmithing!"

Tang Ziran took the glass and took a sip, then looked at Lu Chuan.

He knew that Lu Chuan was much more mature than other children his age, so he didn't immediately dismiss the idea. "Lu Chuan, tell me what you're thinking first."

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment before speaking:

"I want to learn blacksmithing for two main reasons. First, it can earn money to subsidize the household, and second, it lays a solid foundation for the future."

"I've looked into it. Whether it's applying to Shrek Academy or other top-tier Spirit Master academies in the Federation, most have clear requirements for a student's second profession."

"Therefore, if I want to enter these prestigious institutions in the future, I must plan ahead and achieve something in my second profession!"

"Dad, you know as well as I do that there are only four second professions: blacksmith, mecha designer, mecha manufacturer, and mecha repairer."

"Mecha designers require excellent creativity and extremely high spiritual power. I was tested when I awakened, and my spiritual power is only at an average level, so that path is too difficult."

"Mecha manufacturers require a massive amount of hundred-refined and thousand-refined metals for practice, and the cost is too high for us to afford."

"As for mecha repairers... their future potential is limited, and the cost-effectiveness isn't high."

"Only blacksmithing is not only a popular profession but also easy to get started with. Besides that, the process of forging can temper one's blood and energy and condense spiritual power, which is of great benefit to a Spirit Master's cultivation!"

Lu Chuan analyzed logically.

He wanted to learn blacksmithing, but it was not a matter that could be accomplished overnight.

A long, long time ago, from the moment Di Tian brought spirit-forged metal back from the human world, he had wanted to learn the craft.

Spirit forging to imbue life—for Lu Chuan, who had inherited the Godhead of Destruction and could never sense the path of creation, it was just like Jiraiya seeing Naruto's Sexy Jutsu; he simply could not look away!
