A Bad Influence at Such a Young Age? Na'er Is Willing

"Cute little sister, are you all alone? How about big brothers take you out to have some fun?"

Three young thugs walked toward her.

Looking down at the petite girl before them, their lewd faces bore unconcealed excitement.

That beautiful silver hair, those amethyst-like eyes—if they found a wealthy family, they could definitely sell her for a good price...

"I..."

"I want to find my family."

Na'er shook her head. Her amethyst-like eyes were filled with resistance, and her voice was very soft.

"Looking for someone?"

"Hahahaha, little sister, you've come to the right people! As long as you come with us, we'll help you find anyone you want. What do you think?"

The thugs' smiles grew broader, and the greed in their eyes could not be hidden. So she had gotten separated from her family?

This was perfect.

It would be even easier to get their hands on her!

"..."

"Stay away from me."

As the thugs gradually approached, Na'er frowned slightly. The resistance in her eyes deepened as she instinctively took several steps back, until a wall stood behind her and there was nowhere left to retreat.

"Little sister, where else can you go? Don't worry, big brothers aren't bad people. As long as you come with us, you can have whatever family you want..."

One of the thugs let out a sleazy laugh. Just as he came within two steps of Na'er, his two legs—once the fastest around—were frozen firmly in place.

His two companions also felt a gentle breeze arise from nowhere, effortlessly sending them flying dozens of meters away.

"Ah—"

"Who is it? Who's there?!"

Faced with power beyond that of ordinary people, the thug leader turned around, fear appearing on his face for the first time.

Such tremendous influence...

It could only be a Soul Master!

Only then did he see a six-year-old boy in the distance, cool and handsome, strolling toward them.

"Try touching her."

Jiang Yan walked forward step by step, his expression cold.

Beneath his feet, a dazzling yellow Soul Ring gleamed. The elemental power he had just used was naturally the power of his martial soul.

In broad daylight, they actually dared to abduct a child.

And they had set their sights on the little Silver Dragon King?

These scum were truly bold and brazen!

"He is..."

Before the thugs could recover, Na'er froze at the sight of Jiang Yan's face. Within her body, that sense of resonance and closeness reached its peak at that moment.

Her adorably dazed eyes immediately lit up.

This person...

was the one she had been looking for.

He was her family!

At that moment, Na'er no longer lingered where she stood. Without hesitation, she ran toward him.

"Are you..."

"my family?"

Na'er's little face was nervous yet expectant. Whether he answered or not, she already had the answer in her heart. He had to be her family!

As she spoke, her small hand took hold of his, a glimmer of light flashing through her eyes.

It was as though, at that moment...

she had grasped her future.

"Hm?"

"I think so."

Jiang Yan smiled. Looking at the little girl whose eyes shone so brightly, he merely stroked her hair and said nothing more.

They had not been family before, but they were now. After all, a dragon little sister had fallen from the sky—how could he possibly not take her home?

There was no need to say more about the Silver Dragon King's value. She was only a little below him, after all. In the future...

she would probably become his wings, wouldn't she?

"..."

"S-Soul Master, sir!"

"I failed to recognize greatness."

At this moment, how could the three thugs not realize they had provoked someone they should not have? The two lackeys hurriedly bowed in apology, trembling uncontrollably.

The most miserable one was naturally their leader. His legs were frozen in place, leaving him unable to move at all.

"This lowly one didn't know you were her brother..."

"Please forgive me, Soul Master, sir."

The thug leader raised his head and looked at the yellow Soul Ring beside Jiang Yan. He felt his breathing quicken.

They had only planned to sell this little girl for a few hundred thousand, yet a hundred-year Soul Ring alone was worth far more than that. And this person was so young—becoming a Soul Master before the age of ten meant he would surely become a Battle Soul Master in the future!

No! What kind of existence had he offended?!

"..."

"Let's go."

Jiang Yan did not spare the three men even a glance. His gaze fell on Na'er beside him as he gently took her hand and turned to leave.

Yet at the instant he turned around, an invisible force of ice froze the other two thugs in place as well.

Then, a communication soul tool had already silently appeared in his other hand.

"Is this Officer Bai? I caught three young men abducting children near Master Mang's Workshop. Please come deal with them."

Abducting minors?

They could spend the rest of their days in prison.

"..."

"Little sister, what's your name?"

On the way back, Jiang Yan turned toward her and asked softly. Knowing her name was one thing; asking was another.

"My name is Na'er. You... what about you?"

As Na'er stared at him and felt the warmth from his hand, she could only feel her face growing slightly hot.

So...

his looks and presence were so captivating!

"My name is Jiang Yan."

Jiang Yan smiled faintly, his voice gentle.

"Jiang Yan..."

Na'er remembered that name.

"Then are you my brother?"

"Are we family?"

The next moment, walking beside him, she recalled what the thugs had said earlier. She pursed her lips and asked.

She felt that she knew very little, but she still understood those two forms of address. Brother and sister—weren't those the closest kind of relationship?

"Did you get separated from your family?"

Jiang Yan looked at her and asked.

"I..."

"I don't know whether I have a family. If I do, then I think you would be an important member of my family."

"Are you my brother?"

Na'er shook her head. Though her little face was full of confusion, her tone was even more resolute, her eyes filled with hope.

If she had family...

then the person before her had to be the most important one.

"I am older than you, that's true."

"Just call me Brother."

Jiang Yan paused before smiling.

"Are you willing to let me be your brother?"

He smiled gently as he looked at this silly little girl.

Cute little Na'er.

Are you willing to let me be your brother?

"I am."

Na'er nodded without hesitation. Beneath the sunlight, the two of them seemed to shine.

"I am, Brother."

"..."

On the other side of the street, a boy heading toward the forging workshop with his parents stood dumbfounded, his large round eyes filled with shock.

That boy just now had clearly been about the same age as him, yet he was already a one-ring Soul Master!

And...

why did he feel as though he had missed something?

Was it just his imagination?

"Ah?"

Meanwhile, in the shadows.

Watching Jiang Yan come out for the sake of a little girl—and now even lead her home by the hand—Leng Yaozhu, who had followed him out, wore a bewildered expression.

Putting aside the fact that he was already picking up girls at such a young age.

The key was, how had that little girl located this place so precisely? And she cared about Yan'er so deeply.

Could it be...

that she really was his family?

"..."

Leng Yaozhu: You're saying that two children, one silver-haired and one black-haired, are family?

Na'er: Is there a problem? (suspicious face)
