But Jiang Yan really was so delicious.

"Judging by this pace, why did my Yan'er seem to have the makings of a little playboy?"

Leng Yaozhu's gaze was somewhat complicated. They said you could see a person's future from the age of six, yet Yan'er had already dared to bring little girls home at six.

His intentions were truly reprehensible!

"The young master was as universally adored as ever. But since the Silver Dragon King had already emerged, why had the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest shown no reaction at all?"

"Wasn't there even a single guardian?"

Within the Sea of Spirit, while sensing Na'er's condition, Qian Renxue also kept watch over the entirety of Aolai City.

Other than Leng Yaozhu, who was secretly protecting Jiang Yan, and Jiang Lingli at home, there was no one in the entire city with the strength of a Titled Douluo or above.

"It wasn't as if the beast clan had only been brainless for a day or two."

"Sometimes, I truly couldn't understand why they had to come to the human world so early after taking human form."

Bibi Dong shook her head as well, her tone filled with confusion.

Perhaps this was the beast clan's unique brand of wisdom.

It was astonishing enough, huh!

"..."

Meanwhile, within Jiang Yan's Sea of Spirit.

The Tyrant Dragon Soul Spirit Jiang Yan had named Xiao Ba listened blankly to their voices, its proudly raised head silently lowering.

It pretended not to hear.

It did not understand.

Why were there two other people living in its master's consciousness?!

Back at their residence.

Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli had long learned from Leng Yaozhu what had happened outside. Even so, when they truly saw Jiang Yan bring back a little girl, they could not help exchanging looks.

"Yan'er, you went out for a trip..."

"And brought back a little girl?"

Jiang Luochuan could not help asking. Especially when he saw that delicate, adorable little face, his heart jolted. Could this be the child bride Heaven had sent him?

Yan'er was still so young.

Had he actually found himself a child bride already?!

"..."

"Big Brother, scared."

With so many people looking at her, Na'er was both embarrassed and frightened. She quietly buried her head behind Jiang Yan.

Her large, amethyst-like eyes secretly observed everything in the house. She looked utterly adorable.

"Don't be afraid, Na'er. These are all my family."

"Teacher, Grandpa, Uncle Li, this is Na'er. She got separated from her family before, and there's something about her..."

"That makes me feel very close to her."

Jiang Yan introduced her with a smile.

"A familiar feeling?"

Hearing this, Jiang Luochuan was stunned. He subconsciously looked toward his grandson.

Yan'er had been picked up by him back then.

Now Yan'er had picked up another little girl. Could this girl be his blood relative?

Only that explanation could account for why Yan'er had suddenly wanted to go out and then brought her home.

"Could it be?"

"But that shouldn't be possible."

Jiang Lingli had thought of the same thing, but after lowering his head for only a moment, he dismissed the idea.

The two children did look rather compatible, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl. Who knew what breathtakingly gorgeous man and woman they would become in the future?

But...

Where else did they resemble each other? One had silver hair, the other black hair. No matter how he looked at them, they did not seem to be the same kind of people.

"A familiar feeling..."

"Could it be the bloodline within her body?"

Jiang Yan's words gave Leng Yaozhu a direction. Generally speaking, extreme Martial Souls had a powerful attraction toward one another.

If the little girl's future awakened Martial Soul was related to Yan'er's, then it would make sense.

"Little one, how old are you? Do you still remember your family? We can help you find them."

As she thought, Leng Yaozhu crouched down and gently asked the adorable little girl before her.

"I..."

"I don't know."

Na'er's little face carried an adorably blank expression. Looking at the person before her, she shook her head innocently and answered in a soft voice.

"I asked Na'er many things along the way, but she said she didn't know. Perhaps something happened to her family."

"Before that..."

"Grandpa, let Na'er stay with us."

Jiang Yan looked at everyone before him and spoke softly.

"This..."

"Alright."

Looking at the pitiful little girl, Jiang Luochuan naturally nodded in agreement. He simply could not refuse.

The little girl was so pitiful. If they did not take her in, were they supposed to let her wander outside alone?

Still, after living for most of his life, he had thought that gaining a grandson in his old age after having no children was already a great surprise. Who would have thought that...

He would also gain an adorable little granddaughter!

Heaven truly favored this old man Luochuan.

"Grrr..."

At that moment, an ill-timed sound suddenly rang out. Na'er lowered her head even further, gripping Jiang Yan's hand in utter embarrassment.

She had not eaten anything for a long time.

She was so hungry.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li, Teacher hasn't eaten anything since arriving either. How about we eat first?"

The next moment, he immediately suggested.

"Of course."

Jiang Luochuan immediately nodded in agreement.

"The little girl's clothes are all dirty. Yan'er, I'll take her to bathe first. After that, I'll take you and her out to buy some clothes."

At that moment, Leng Yaozhu said with a smile as well.

"I'll listen to Teacher."

"..."

That afternoon, at the dining table.

Naturally, the old man had prepared the meal.

He might not yet qualify as a top five-star chef, but throughout Aolai City, there was at least no one who could rival him.

There were eight dishes and a soup, both to welcome Leng Yaozhu and to welcome Na'er.

At first, Na'er had been too embarrassed to eat. Only after timidly finishing three bowls of rice did she finally let herself go.

In the end, amid everyone's astonished stares, Na'er ate eleven bowls of rice and drank three bowls of soup before finally stopping.

"Na'er has quite the appetite."

"You can tell..."

"She'll definitely awaken a fine Martial Soul."

Leng Yaozhu slowly chewed through her first bowl of rice. Though somewhat embarrassed, she could not help feeling heartbroken.

How long had this little girl been starving to become this hungry?!

What a pitiful child.

"..."

After the meal, Leng Yaozhu sat on the sofa. Her gaze fell behind Jiang Yan as she slowly spoke.

"Yan'er, your teacher still has matters to handle at headquarters, so I won't be staying in Aolai City much longer."

After all, she was the deputy tower master at headquarters. With major and minor affairs weighing on her, even her daily cultivation time had been greatly reduced. She did not have much time to teach disciples either.

"Yes, Teacher."

Naturally, Jiang Yan had no objection and answered.

"And the two of you, the enrollment period for the junior academy will begin in the next few days. Old Master Jiang, Tower Master Jiang, I'll leave those matters to you."

"If there are any problems, as long as they concern Yan'er, contact me immediately."

She then turned to Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli, making arrangements.

"Please rest assured, Tower Master. Yan'er's affairs have always been our top priority. I arranged matters in Eastsea today, and we'll move there within the next two days."

"Yan'er will live with my uncle at my place afterward. It'll be convenient for school and for anything else."

Jiang Lingli replied with a smile. In Eastsea City, everything Yan'er needed for his growth had been arranged perfectly.

Yan'er was already shining brilliantly now, and in the future...

He would only become even stronger.

"Of course I know you wouldn't mistreat Yan'er."

Leng Yaozhu chuckled and nodded.

After Jiang Yan and the others bid farewell to Leng Yaozhu, she drove her black mecha away. Before leaving, she also left behind a heavenly treasure.

"Uncle, Tower Master left behind this Myriad Spirits Fruit. It will improve your old injuries, and breaking through to Titled Douluo in the future is just around the corner!"

"How about I guard you while you absorb it today?"

Jiang Lingli looked at the heavenly treasure in the other's hand, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

The Myriad Spirits Fruit was one of the finest heavenly treasures. It was said to be a spiritual fruit formed from the auras of countless soul beasts. It was immensely beneficial to possessors of beast-type Martial Souls and could even restore one's potential.

"Since it is Tower Master's kindness, I'll shamelessly accept it. Thank you, Xiao Li."

A gleam flashed through Jiang Luochuan's eyes as well. It was difficult to refuse such a heavenly treasure. As he spoke, he gave the other man a deep look.

His nephew truly was full of filial devotion.

"..."

"Big Brother, is this..."

"Your Martial Soul?"

Inside Jiang Yan's bedroom.

At that moment, Na'er was staring at the Dragon God Martial Soul he had voluntarily shown her. Her eyes gleamed, and she could feel her heart pounding.

This was it!

This was the scent!

The power that had drawn her step by step through Aolai City, the power she had insisted on searching for despite hitting walls everywhere, was this very power.

"Big Brother, you..."

"You smell so delicious!"

Na'er's little face was flushed red with fascination as she exclaimed excitedly.

"You little thing..."

"Who describes a boy as delicious?"

Jiang Yan froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

"But..."

"Big Brother is like a soft, sweet little cake."

The light in Na'er's eyes did not diminish. She stared blankly at the person before her and smiled shyly. Clearly...

He smelled so delicious that she wanted to eat him up!

If only she could really take a bite...

"..."
