Tang Li sensed three completely different auras inside the Demon-Sealing Pot and understood why Tang Wulin had entered her cultivation state so quickly.
One of them was blue-gold and brimmed with vast life force, carrying a trace of imperial aura. It was likely the bloodline power of the Blue Silver Emperor.
It was precisely this power that allowed his useless sister, whose meridian map was incomplete and who could only barely enter a state of emptiness, to successfully cultivate through Meditation.
As the emperor among plant-type beings, the Blue Silver Emperor possessed a powerful attraction to the free-floating Soul Power between heaven and earth. After Tang Wulin awakened her Martial Soul, this bloodline power had gradually begun to revive, naturally granting her this ability.
That was a good thing!
The origins of the other two auras were more complicated. The golden one was the Bloodline Power of the Golden Dragon King sealed within Tang Wulin's body, while the silver one was the Silver Dragon King's Spiritual Power drifting over from Na'er.
After being refined by the Demon-Sealing Pot, the powers of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings became nourishment that strengthened Tang Li.
To Tang Li, the sensation of growing stronger through this power was simply incredible! He nearly couldn't stop himself from letting out a soft moan.
Just then, Tang Li noticed that someone had been staring at him for quite a while. Opening his eyes, he found Na'er looking at him.
That made him curious. Hadn't she shown no interest in him just now? Why was she staring at him again? Could it really have been shyness?
Little did he know that, in Na'er's eyes, he had looked like a terrifying humanoid creature wrapped in Chaotic Flame.
The aura that contained two utterly opposing powers—creation and destruction—was enveloped by the Fire of Chaos, which held every color. She could barely make out a human shape, but there was nothing human about what lay within.
Then something even more terrifying happened. That strange sight vanished completely after only an instant. No matter how wide Na'er opened her eyes, all she could see was a little boy shrouded in a Golden Cloud of Qi Luck.
One was a chaotic, twisted humanoid creature; the other was a child of destiny clad in immense Qi Luck condensed into golden clouds.
The two completely different images left Na'er utterly confused. Her mind had not been particularly clear to begin with, and now it was spinning...
"What's wrong, Na'er? You look like you're not feeling well." Seeing Na'er lower her head again and noticing that something was off with her expression, Tang Li asked with concern.
"N-No, I'm fine."
When Na'er saw Tang Li looking at her, she immediately remembered that chaotic humanoid creature from before. Terrified, she hurriedly tried to back away. But with her mind still muddled, she forgot that she was on a bed. After squirming around for a while, not only did she fail to retreat, she also woke Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin awoke from Meditation feeling utterly refreshed, as though she had been lying in a grassland blanketed with Blue Silver Grass.
"That feels so good! Huh, Na'er, what's wrong with you?"
The moment Tang Wulin opened her eyes, she saw Na'er's flustered, panicked state. When Na'er realized that she had woken Tang Wulin, she immediately threw herself into Tang Wulin's arms.
"Waaaah, I'm scared!"
Scared? Scared of what? Tang Wulin was completely baffled. Turning her head, she saw Tang Li sitting on the bed with an unconcerned look, propping up his chin with one hand as he watched her and Na'er.
"Xiao Li, you're back? Wait... did you scare Na'er?"
Faced with Tang Wulin's suspicious gaze, Tang Li was speechless. He sighed inwardly. Little brats really are troublesome!
He then told Tang Wulin what Tang Ziran had said, put on his slippers, and walked straight out of the room. Before closing the door, he reminded Tang Wulin to come out by herself.
In the living room, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue had been waiting for quite a while. Bored out of their minds, they were watching a program on the Soul Guidance Display Screen. When they saw their son come out, Tang Ziran quickly asked,
"Well? Has your sister come out?"
"Wulin was Meditating. She just woke up and is calming Na'er down. Let's wait for her a little longer."
Tang Li sat down on the sofa and stretched lazily.
"Then let's talk about your business first. Have you considered Uncle Lin's offer? The terms he offered really are quite good..."
With that, Tang Ziran relayed every condition Lin Ye had offered to Tang Li and asked for his opinion.
"Son, joining the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't be bad either. Your mother wanted to join the Spirit Pagoda when she was young too, but my talent was limited. Besides, with Uncle Lin over there, at least there'll be someone to look after you."
Lang Yue also advised Tang Li to join the Spirit Pagoda. After all, the Spirit Pagoda's benefits were famously excellent throughout the Federation. Its reputation as the richest organization was no empty boast.
Moreover, it had earned a good reputation among the public by awakening Martial Souls for civilians free of charge.
As for the dirty schemes among the upper ranks that Tang Li knew about, those were too far removed from him and not something he needed to consider for now.
"I have no objections. The Spirit Pagoda is indeed a good place for me at the moment."
"Alright, then I'll send Old Lin a message later."
Since Tang Li himself agreed to Lin Ye's invitation, Tang Ziran naturally had no objections. It was also at this moment that Tang Wulin came out.
However, she had her head lowered and looked hesitant, standing by the bedroom door with a lost expression.
Seeing his daughter like this, Tang Ziran sighed helplessly. He truly did not want to scold his adorable, sensible daughter, but he wanted even less for Tang Wulin to get hurt again because of something like this in the future!
So he could only put on a stern expression and say seriously, "Wulin, come here. Dad has something to talk to you about."
Tang Wulin lowered her head and shuffled over step by step like a quail, which amused Tang Li greatly.
"Before dinner, we delayed things because of Xiao Li. Now let's deal with your matter. Wulin, do you think what you did was right?"
"Dad, I didn't do anything wrong! Didn't you say that people should be brave and fight bad people bravely? That's exactly what I did."
Tang Wulin blinked her big, watery eyes and put on an innocent, well-behaved expression, making Tang Ziran's heart soften a little.
But Tang Li spoke up then. "Wulin, didn't Dad say that to me? His exact words were that men should be brave. Are you a man? That's twisting the meaning."
Tang Wulin: >_< Her fists clenched!
"You brat, Xiao Li! Adults are talking, so don't interrupt!" Tang Wulin furiously waved her fist at Tang Li.
"Wulin, Xiao Li is right. You're a girl, so you must always pay attention to your safety when you're outside. It's not that we don't want you to help others, but you must protect yourself first, understand? Seeing you hurt truly broke Mom's heart."
Lang Yue hugged Tang Wulin. Heaven knew how worried she had been when she saw her daughter bring home a little girl and say that she had rescued her after fighting some hooligans!
Her daughter was so obedient and adorable. Fortunately, she had suffered only a minor injury. Otherwise, Lang Yue would have been heartbroken to death.
"Mom, I understand. I'll definitely be more careful next time," Tang Wulin promised as she hugged Lang Yue back.
"It's good that you know you were wrong. Now let's discuss the next issue."
Tang Ziran snorted coldly, interrupting the tender moment between mother and daughter.
Tang Wulin asked in surprise, "Huh! There's another issue?"
"Of course. You're a girl, and at only six years old, you're already bringing people home. What will happen when you grow up?"
Fortunately, Tang Wulin had brought home a girl. If she had brought home a boy...
No, he did not even dare imagine it. If that ever happened, Tang Ziran felt certain he would go mad! If the precious cabbage he had painstakingly raised was taken by some blond punk, he would absolutely kill someone!
It would be fine if his son brought home a little girl, but his daughter absolutely could not!
At the mention of this, Tang Wulin finally remembered Na'er's family. She hurriedly asked Lang Yue, "Mom, has Na'er found her family?"
