Lang Yue shook her head and said to Tang Wulin, "No, Mom took her to the administrator to check, but there isn't any registration record for Na'er there."

"Then is Na'er an orphan? That's wonderful! Mom and Dad, let's take her in! Then I'll have a younger sister!"

Tang Wulin was overjoyed (?), clearly very welcoming of Na'er joining this big family.

Lang Yue took Tang Wulin's hand and secretly pointed toward Tang Li's position. She didn't mind having one more mouth to feed at home, but she had to be considerate of her son's feelings.

Tang Ziran felt the same way. It was just raising one more child. Although this child was just as big of an eater as their daughter, it wasn't like they couldn't afford it. As long as their good daughter was happy, it was fine.

In the end, the decision fell to Tang Li. Tang Wulin jumped off the sofa, tackled Tang Li, and blinked her big, pitiful eyes as she looked at Tang Li. Those eyes, full of spirit, seemed almost able to speak.

Acting cute was disgraceful!

Tang Li actually had no defense against Tang Wulin either, but she was also very welcoming of Na'er joining the family. After all, Na'er had been so afraid of her just a moment ago, which made her feel like she could use Na'er to test the effectiveness of the Demon-Sealing Pot!

Though she agreed in her heart, Tang Li still had to put on a surface display.

"Wulin, I have no objections, but you can't just make decisions for others casually. Go ask Na'er; if she is willing to stay in our home, then we'll take her in. If she isn't willing, then you can't force it."

"Okay, I'll go ask Na'er right now."

Tang Wulin rushed into the room with an excited look on her face, while the other three waited on the sofa for Na'er's response.

Tang Ziran suddenly asked, "Xiao Li, do you really not mind? If you're only accepting her because of Wulin, then Dad will discuss it with Wulin to see if any neighbors around here want to take Na'er in. Our family can give them money."

The old father's care was evident in every word.

"It's fine. As long as Wulin is happy, I don't really care about such things."

Tang Li felt a warmth in her heart. She understood her parents' concerns, but she truly didn't care about this. Setting aside the fact that this Silver Dragon King half-body was pleasing to the eye, just the single point that she and Wulin could together provide Tang Li with the power of the Gold and Silver Dragons made her worth taking in.

Not to mention the terrified look Na'er had just given Tang Li—this had piqued Tang Li's curiosity to the utmost!

How could a "plain and ordinary" first-ring soul master like herself possibly frighten this Silver Dragon King half-body? Could it be that she had such a strong deterrent effect after only unsealing a tiny fraction of the Demon-Sealing Pot?

Inside Wulin and Tang Li's room, Tang Wulin held Na'er's hand. "Na'er, stay at my house. My mom cooks amazingly well, and Dad and Xiao Li are also really good people. I've always wanted a younger sister; stay and be my little sister, okay?"

Tang Wulin looked into Na'er's amethyst-like eyes, extending the most sincere invitation possible to Na'er from the bottom of her heart.

"Mm." This time, Na'er actually nodded and responded proactively. Having received her answer, Tang Wulin bounced up with joy.

"Yay! I have a little sister! Na'er, I'll take you to meet Mom and Dad."

With that, Tang Wulin pulled Na'er toward the living room.

In the living room, the three members of Tang Ziran's family waited quietly for Tang Wulin's reply. When they saw Tang Wulin pull Na'er out, appearing before them with a brilliant smile, the answer was already revealed!

"Mom and Dad, Na'er agreed! Xiao Li, we have a little sister!"

"Alright, tomorrow I'll take Na'er to the government office to handle the adoption paperwork. Tonight, Wulin, you can just squeeze in with Na'er for now."

"How about I come out and sleep on the sofa?" Tang Li scratched her head, looking at the harmonious picture Na'er and Tang Wulin made. She felt a bit superfluous; should she just come out and make do on the sofa for the night?

"No way, sleeping on the sofa is bad for your health. How about this, I'll go buy a small bed suitable for Na'er, and once Na'er grows taller, I'll have a big one custom-made for her."

Lang Yue couldn't bear to let her son sleep on the sofa, so she directly dragged Tang Ziran off to buy a bed for Na'er.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to instruct Wulin to keep an eye on Tang Li and Na'er and make sure they didn't run around blindly.

Tang Ziran even locked the front door directly, clearly not trusting that her obedient and sensible daughter could keep tabs on her demon-pill son.

And their worry was obviously correct!

Tang Li sat on the sofa, her gaze landing on the scarred marks already scabbed over on Tang Wulin's leg. Her tone sounded somewhat off as she asked,

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Mom already disinfected it for me, and it healed super fast."

"Was it those little punks on the street who did it?"

"Mm, I was reasoning with them, and when they kicked me, I used the Clear Sky Hammer to beat them away. It's fine, Xiao Li, these are just superficial wounds."

Tang Wulin patted her chest with an indifferent look, but Tang Li had already made up her mind in her heart to go deal with those fellows.

Daring to hit her Tang Li's older sister, these damned guys truly had already courted death!

(Buddha Tang: Well said! This child is deeply aligned with my heart!)

"Let's go, Wulin. Na'er just arrived; we'll take her out for a stroll, just to get her familiar with the way."

Seeing the calm expression return to Tang Li's face, Tang Wulin didn't think much of it. After all, it really was about time to get Na'er familiar with the surrounding environment; that made total sense.

"But Dad seemed to have locked the door! And Mom also said not to run around blindly..."

Tang Wulin still felt a tiny bit hesitant. She was an obedient, good little girl who didn't want to go against her parents' words.

"Then you can stay behind to watch the door, and I'll take Na'er to learn the way. Don't worry, I'm already a first-ring soul master."

Tang Li: Go on, where did all these rules come from!

As for whether she would run into those little hoodlums, Tang "Blessed by the Heavens" Li didn't need to consider such things at all. Her intuition told her that she only needed to go out and look for them, and fate would arrange everything.

At that moment, Na'er saw the strange phenomenon on Tang Li's body once again. This entity, who once possessed God King-realm spiritual power, could occasionally see the Qi Luck power on Tang Li, but the moment Tang Li heard Wulin say she had been kicked, she transformed back into a chaotic humanoid creature in Na'er's eyes!

Na'er: !⊙▽⊙! Terrifying.

"Let's go, Na'er. Big Brother Xiao Li will take you to learn the way, and by the way, there's something I need your help with."

Tang Li walked up to Na'er, reached out her hand, and spoke in a tone carrying an unyielding firmness, wrapping her so-called invitation in a dictatorial dominance.

"Come with me, I'm going to get revenge for you and Wulin!"

A voice rang out in Na'er's ear—it was the spiritual telepathy Tang Li had just figured out how to rig up after fusing with the Evil Eye.

"Mm." Na'er responded, took Tang Li's hand, and followed her toward the door. They watched as the soul guidance security system modified by Tang Ziran automatically initiated facial recognition, and with a ding, it unlocked on its own.

Tang Ziran didn't know yet that his design had already been meddled with by Tang Li. No matter how he locked the door, as long as facial recognition wasn't discarded, Tang Li could slip away.

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't use this trick, but right now she had more important things to do!

"Sis, remember to watch the door. Na'er, say goodbye to Big Sister Wulin."

"Mm, Big Sister Wulin, goodbye."
