Lu Chuan: That Big Sister, I Know Your Brother!

The Silver Dragon King offered a mysterious smile.

Tang Wuyue clearly did not understand.

But she had already said what needed to be said, and now it was time for her to leave.

Everything else would depend on this little girl's own destiny.

If this game of chess were to be overturned at this very moment, then it could only be that such was her fate!

Her silver-white dress shimmered with a soft luster under the starlight, the hem gently brushing across the lake surface and sending out ripples in delicate circles.

"Remember my words. In one month, that door will begin to loosen."

"Be prepared... I look forward to the day we stand by his side together."

The Silver Dragon King cast one final smile back over her shoulder.

"Together...?"

Tang Wuyue wanted to ask more, but her vision suddenly swayed.

The next second, the starlight began to shatter, and the silver-white lake water receded like a low tide. The entire world, like a broken mirror, developed countless cracks before falling apart.

Finally, everything plunged into darkness.

When Tang Wuyue opened her eyes again, she was already lying in her own small bed.

Sunlight spilled into the room through the window, and birds chirped outside; without her realizing it, the night had already passed.

Was it really just a dream? But this... it felt too real.

Tang Wuyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath.

Recalling the scene in her dream, everything felt so vivid; she could even clearly remember every detail, as well as the woman's words, though the woman's face had become somewhat blurred in her memory.

Most importantly, a faint, lingering warmth remained where her heart was.

It couldn't... it couldn't really be true, could it?

Tang Wuyue looked down at her hands and touched the spot on her chest that still held that residual warmth. After freezing for two seconds, she rolled out of bed and rushed out, shuffling in her slippers.

She shoved open Lu Chuan's bedroom door, her voice filled with irrepressible urgency and excitement:

"Brother! Brother! I had a dream!"

Lu Chuan was drinking water and nearly choked when she bumped into him.

"Cough, cough... What kind of dream? Why so excited? Did you dream that you won a hundred million Federation Coins?"

"Oh, no, it's not that."

Tang Wuyue gave Lu Chuan an annoyed punch.

Lu Chuan leaned back from the blow and feigned rubbing his shoulder.

"Alright, alright, it's not that. Then tell me, what kind of dream could make our Miss Tang bounce in here first thing in the morning like she stepped on a spring?"

Tang Wuyue took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself down, but her silver-gray eyes were still shining with startling intensity.

"I dreamed of a big sister!

She had silver hair, purple eyes, and was incredibly, incredibly beautiful.

She was wearing a long, silvery-white dress, just like a wedding gown, standing on a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan's hand holding the water cup suddenly paused.

From the moment Tang Wuyue mentioned the silver hair, he knew the big sister the little girl had dreamed of was the Silver Dragon King.

However, he couldn't just blurt out the Silver Dragon King right now, so he had to pretend to be nonchalant and took a sip of water.

"Oh? And then?"

"Then she said she wanted to help me become stronger!"

Tang Wuyue answered naturally, but then, the little girl became somewhat mysterious.

She suddenly bent over, leaned forward a step, and lowered her voice, as if she were sharing a monumental secret.

"The big sister said there is a door inside my body, and behind that door, there is powerful energy sealed away—eighteen doors in total!

As long as I follow her method to open the first one, I'll be able to catch up to you!"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately set down his water cup.

His expression remained unchanged, but the sharp glint in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Did she say how to open it?"

"She did, she did!"

Tang Wuyue counted on her fingers.

"The first step is Soul Power compression; I have to make my Soul Power as dense as possible.

The second step is to prepare a century-old Ice Crystal Fruit and a century-old Red Flame Fruit for something called... Ice-Fire Resonance, which she said can stretch the meridians.

The third step... I didn't quite understand."

When the little girl reached this point, her delicate brows suddenly furrowed.

"For the third step, she said that at the moment of greatest pain, I must call out someone's name, but she didn't tell me whose name to call."

She looked up, gazing at Lu Chuan with a serious expression.

"Brother, do you think this dream is reliable? Could it be that I've been training too hard lately and my brain is just muddled?"

Lu Chuan heard this, and couldn't help but smile.

He looked at the little girl's face, filled with both anticipation and a hint of trepidation.

He no longer had any intention of teasing her, instead nodding affirmatively.

"Reliable."

"Eh? Brother, you believe me?"

A giant question mark instantly appeared over Tang Wuyue's head.

Because, surely, any normal person would have just taken this as a joke!

"Because that big sister with the silver hair and purple eyes," Lu Chuan stood up and walked toward the locked storage cabinet in the corner, inputting the code and pulling the door open, "your brother knows her."

He took three items out of the cabinet: a translucent, deep-blue jade box, a warm, crimson-red jade box, and a small ink-colored bottle, placing them on the table one by one.

Tang Wuyue's eyes widened instantly.

"A century-old Ice Crystal Fruit, a century-old Red Flame Fruit, and century-old Earth Dragon Blood."

Lu Chuan clapped his hands together and leaned against the edge of the table, watching her stunned expression with a slight upturn of his lips. "What a coincidence; I just happened to have someone prepare these a month ago."

Tang Wuyue's mouth formed a small "O," her gaze darting back and forth between the three spiritual items and Lu Chuan's face several times before she could finally find her voice.

"Brother... don't tell me you knew a month ago that I would have this dream?"

Lu Chuan shook his head. "I didn't know you would have a dream, but I knew that one day, you would need these things."

"Why?" Tang Wuyue was suddenly at a loss.

Lu Chuan smiled playfully. "Guess why your brother's Soul Power has been increasing so quickly?"

Hearing this, Tang Wuyue's eyes suddenly lit up. "Could it be that you also..."

"Shh!"

"This is a secret between us; you can't tell anyone else, understand?"

Lu Chuan pressed a finger to Tang Wuyue's lips.

Tang Wuyue nodded immediately, and after Lu Chuan pulled his hand away, she lowered her voice to ask:

"Brother, can we not even tell Mom and Dad?"

Lu Chuan nodded. "No. Mom and Dad aren't soul masters. An innocent man may be innocent, but he is guilty of the crime of possessing a treasure. If something ever happens to us, we must never implicate them."

Tang Wuyue nodded, appearing to understand even if she didn't fully grasp the weight of the phrase "an innocent man is guilty of the crime of possessing a treasure." Still, since her brother was being so serious, it must be a very important matter.

She extended her pinky finger. "Then let's pinky swear. This is our secret, and we won't tell anyone."

Lu Chuan looked at that fair, delicate little finger and couldn't help but chuckle, yet he still extended his own finger to solemnly make the pinky swear with the little girl.

"Pinky swear, a hundred years, no backing out. Whoever breaks it is a little puppy!"

With the agreement sealed, Tang Wuyue retracted her hand in satisfaction and pounced on the three spiritual items on the table like a little miser.

She first picked up the deep blue jade box with great care. Through the translucent walls of the box, one could see a fruit lying quietly inside, its entire body ice-blue and covered in a thin layer of white frost. Just being near it, one could feel a refreshing chill that seeped into the heart.

"So this is the hundred-year Ice Crystal Fruit... it looks so fragrant!" The little girl sniffed, as if she could truly smell the aroma through the box.

After her curiosity about the Ice Crystal Fruit was satisfied, she picked up the crimson jade box. "Then is this the Red Flame Fruit?"

"Mm. These are treasures of ice and fire attributes. Consuming either one alone is enough to benefit an ordinary Soul Master greatly, but if used in combination, the alternating impact of ice and fire on the meridians produces an effect far greater than one plus one," Lu Chuan explained. "Adding the Earth Dragon Blood as a catalyst will maximize the resonance of the Dragon Clan Bloodline within you."

"Dragon blood? Big Sister didn't mention a Dragon Clan Bloodline!" Tang Wuyue was taken aback by these words.

Hearing the little girl's remark, Lu Chuan immediately realized he had let something slip and hurriedly tried to patch it up: "Perhaps your Big Sister forgot to mention it. Everyone has bloodlines within them, but they are divided into special bloodlines and ordinary ones. Ordinary bloodlines have no effect unless one becomes a Title Douluo, which can then activate the power hidden within. Special bloodlines can assist in cultivation or combat. For instance, members of the Star Luo Royalty possess the White Tiger Bloodline, which grants strong combat power. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family possesses the Swan Bloodline, which provides excellent support abilities. And we possess the Dragon Clan Bloodline—we are all-rounders!"

Tang Wuyue listened intently. Although she didn't understand most of it, the word "all-rounder" sounded very impressive!

She hugged the three spiritual items to her chest as if they were peerless treasures, looked up at Lu Chuan, and asked with an expectant face, "Brother, when do I start?"

"No rush, now is not the time." Lu Chuan rubbed her little head and smiled. "We will start when the seal loosens next month, and I will protect you then! For now, I will teach you the Golden Dragon Breathing Technique; it will help you better compress your Soul Power!"
