Getting Gold Coins from a Dragon

After dinner, Lang Yue took Na'er to the Administrator to check her records, only to discover that there was no information about her anywhere in the system. She seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

With no other choice, Lang Yue brought Na'er home.

By the time they returned, Tang Wulin's father, Tang Ziran, had come home too.

After Tang Wulin pleaded with them, Na'er became a member of the family.

"Wonderful! I'm going to have a little sister!" Tang Wulin was delighted.

There were only two rooms in the house, so Na'er had to share a room with Tang Wulin.

Na'er had wanted to sleep with Tang Wulin, but Lang Yue felt that would be inappropriate. Especially after hearing their conversation earlier that day, she thought the child was far too precocious, so she set up another bed beside his.

As long as we're in the same room, that's enough, Na'er thought. If worse comes to worst, I'll just sneak into Tang Wulin's bed at night.

Lying in bed, Na'er thought things over carefully. Although she did not know why she had been reborn, it was a good thing for her.

Since heaven had given her a chance to start over, she would naturally make up for the regrets of her previous life.

Na'er also possessed the memories from after she had merged with Gu Yue, and she clearly remembered several tragedies. This time, besides making Tang Wulin choose her, she also had to find a way to stop those tragedies from happening.

Perhaps she was too tired, but as Na'er pondered, she drifted straight off to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Wulin woke Na'er with his shouting.

"Na'er, breakfast is ready! Hurry up!"

Watching Tang Wulin wolf down his food, Na'er once again witnessed his terrifying appetite.

It was no small feat for Tang Ziran and Lang Yue to afford to feed him.

"Na'er, I have to go to school in a little while, and after school I have to work as an apprentice. I'll play with you when I get home tonight, okay?"

Na'er nodded.

She wanted to attend school with Tang Wulin too, but she was a little too young.

The family was not well-off, so Tang Wulin had to learn to support himself and earn money from an early age.

Na'er wondered whether there was some way to make the family a little wealthier.

Tang Wulin went to school, and Tang Ziran left for work, leaving only Lang Yue and Na'er at home.

With nothing else to do at home, Na'er helped Lang Yue with the housework and sat down to cultivate whenever she had time.

Although her martial soul had not awakened yet, she could strengthen her spiritual power and soul power through meditation.

In this life, she had to progress a little faster.

That evening, Tang Wulin returned and immediately came to find Na'er to play.

"Na'er, I'm home."

"Guess what? I went to Uncle Mang Tian's place for a test today, and I passed! Now I can earn money to buy you lots of tasty food!"

Food was still the first thing Tang Wulin thought of.

Na'er beamed. "Wulin, you're amazing."

"I'm older than you. You should call me big brother."

Na'er shook her head. "I just want to call you Wulin."

She did not want to be his little sister. She wanted to be his wife.

"All right, then." Tang Wulin still felt a little disappointed that he could not get Na'er to call him big brother.

"You two, come and eat."

"Okay."

Tang Wulin and Na'er sat down at the table.

Tang Wulin raised his hand, then suddenly lowered it again.

"Na'er, my arms hurt so much after hammering iron today. I can't even lift them."

"Then I'll feed you." Na'er deftly brought the food to Tang Wulin's mouth.

Tang Wulin was delighted. He loved the feeling of having Na'er take care of him.

Seeing how well the two children got along, Lang Yue and Tang Ziran felt that adopting Na'er had been the right decision.

However, with another person in the family, their financial burden grew heavier, so Lang Yue began going out to work as well.

During the day, Na'er was the only one at home.

One day, after everyone else had left, a black figure appeared in the room.

"My lord, it is time to return."

Na'er's smile vanished, and she looked at the man with a solemn expression. "Di Tian, tell her that I'm not going back."

Anyone who knew Di Tian would probably have been so shocked by this sight that their jaw would have dropped.

The ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the strongest soul beast on the Douluo Continent, was actually addressing a little girl as his lord.

In her previous life, Na'er had lacked her memories, so she had been unable to communicate with the Star Dou Great Forest. After being reborn, however, she possessed all her memories, making it much easier to contact the soul beasts.

"My lord has ordered that you must return."

"Then whose orders do you follow, hers or mine?"

Di Tian did not answer, but his stance was clear.

He obeyed Gu Yue, not Na'er.

Although Na'er was also part of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue had always been the dominant one.

"I'm not going back, no matter what. If you dare drag me back by force, I'll die right before your eyes."

The Na'er of this life already had a will of her own.

If she so wished, the power within her would not return to Gu Yue after her death. That would leave the Silver Dragon King's origin incomplete, something Gu Yue would never accept.

Seeing how resolute Na'er was, Di Tian could do nothing but return and report her words.

"In that case, I'll return. Summon me whenever you need anything."

With that, Di Tian took out a black scale and handed it to Na'er. With this, she could contact him at any time.

Although her true form was the Silver Dragon King, Na'er was currently still a little girl whose martial soul had not even awakened. Di Tian dared not imagine the consequences if anything happened to her.

"All right, I'll keep this."

Di Tian turned to leave, but Na'er suddenly called him back.

"Wait. Do you have anything valuable on you? Give me a little."

Di Tian froze for a moment and felt around his body. Other than the scales covering him, he had nothing, so he prepared to pull out another of his scales.

"Don't. I can't sell that thing of yours. Even if I did, it would bring trouble. Don't you have anything more practical?"

Di Tian thought for a moment, then said, "Wait a little."

A moment later, he returned, opened his hand, and handed Na'er a box the size of a palm.

Na'er opened the box. Inside were glittering gold coins.

As a member of the dragon race, Di Tian naturally liked such glittering golden things too. He had collected quite a few when he was young, and now his home could barely hold them all.

"All right, I'll take these."

Although gold coins were no longer the standard currency, they could easily be exchanged for Federation Credits. The family had been short of money lately, and these coins would help ease some of the pressure.

However, she could not bring out so much money all at once, or Lang Yue and Tang Ziran would certainly refuse to accept it.

Na'er found a place to hide the gold coins, planning to take out one or two every so often and simply say she had found them.

In the days that followed, Na'er lived peacefully with Tang Wulin and his family.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Na'er turned six, and the day of her martial soul awakening arrived.
