Godson?!

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Luo Tianming and Lin Zheng stared wide-eyed, their jaws nearly slamming onto the stone table.

My jaw dropped.

Adopting a godson?

This is Ya Li, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, the number one healing-type Title Douluo on the continent, and the Holy Spirit Douluo!

Her husband is none other than Yun Ming, the number one figure on the mainland!

If I were to become the godson of these two, wouldn't I be able to roam freely throughout the entire Douluo Continent?

Zhen Hua was also stunned, stroking his chin as he observed the scene with great interest.

Mu Ye's facial muscles twitched twice, and the foot pressing on An Ming's chest involuntarily increased its pressure.

An Ming, who longs for death but cannot: Pfft--nm.

Mu Ye didn't understand what Ya Li meant. After all, half a year ago he had attacked Shrek and demanded the Secret of the Body. Although he didn't have a deep-seated hatred for Shrek, he had still formed a grudge against them.

Now, Yun Ming's wife has come to their Body Sect's territory, pointed at his precious disciple, and said she wants to adopt him as her godson?

"Your Her Holiness Holy Spirit, you're not joking, are you?"

Mu Ye stepped forward, shielding his apprentice behind him.

"This is my last disciple, the future young sect master of the Body Sect! It's not very appropriate for you to poach him!"

Seeing Mu Ye's protective attitude, Ya Li wasn't angry; instead, she gently shook her head.

"Mu Ye Leader Muye misunderstands. I do not intend for him to switch allegiance and leave the Body Sect."

"I simply like this child and want to adopt him as my godfather."

Ya Li looked over Mu Ye's shoulder at Lu Guan behind her, her tone gentle.

Due to her early experiences, she suffered irreparable physical injuries that prevented her from having children for the rest of her life.

This matter has always been the biggest thorn in her side.

Although Ming-ge never mentions it on a daily basis, and always laughs and skips the topic whenever he sees other people's children, after being married for many years, she understands perfectly well that Ming-ge actually longs for a child of their own.

Last time, when she was treating the wounded at the ruins of Spirit Ice Plaza, she inadvertently approached Lu Guan.

At that time, she realized that the Prayer Angel Martial Soul within her body had developed a strange sense of closeness to this child.

Just now, when I used my Seventh Soul Skill, Angel True Body, to inject a huge amount of life force into An Ming's body, that strange resonance appeared again, even stronger than it was at the Shrek Academy!

This affinity, rooted in the very essence of life, instantly unleashed the maternal instincts that had been suppressed within her for many years.

If we could adopt this child as her godson, it would not only make up for her long-standing regret, but Brother Ming would also be very happy to hear about it, right?

As for the feud between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, although she was the vice pavilion master of the Sea God’s Pavilion, she really didn't like to get involved in these matters.

Standing behind Mu Ye, Lu Guan was completely stunned.

???

Just now, when Ya Li activated her Angel True Body, the Seed of Life within him fluctuated.

Ya Li's Prayer Angel Martial Soul is inherently an extreme life attribute, so it's not surprising that there would be some attraction between the two.

Lu Guan never expected that this mutual attraction at the level of life would, when it landed on Ya Li, actually jump directly to the level of recognizing a godson!

Recognize Ya Li as godmother?

The thought flashed through Lu Guan's mind instantly.

Does that mean I have to call Ya Li" Mom"?

Huh--Huh? Huh!

This reminded Lu Guan of the joyful scenes of his roommates playing with tiles.

I don't play with tiles!

Besides, Ya Li has a husband!

If Ya Li becomes his godmother, doesn't that mean he has to call Yun Ming" Dad"?

Alas--

The scene was too beautiful for him to even imagine!

Call Yun Ming" Dad"? You'd better get lost!

"So, child, are you willing?"

Ya Li stepped aside and asked Lu Guan directly.

Luo Tianming and Lin Zheng, standing nearby, held their breath, wishing they could nod in Lu Guan.

This is an incredible windfall!

Once he agreed, Mu Ye Body Sect Master Mu Ye, stood to his left Zhen Hua, the Divine Craftsman, stood to his right, and behind him stood the two great gods Sky-Cleaving Douluo and the Holy Spirit Douluo!

From now on, even if he causes a huge hole in the sky in the Douluo Continent, someone will cover for him!

Although Mu Ye's expression was somewhat unpleasant, he did not immediately refuse on Lu Guan. Instead, he turned around and glanced at his own disciple.

If this kid is willing, having an extra layer of protection from the Holy Spirit Douluo wouldn't be a bad thing.

Facing several burning gazes from the courtyard, Lu Guan stepped out from behind Mu Ye and shook his head decisively.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Her Holiness Holy Spirit, but let's just let this matter rest."

"I already have a master, and I also have Uncle-Master Zhen Hua taking care of me, so I have no plans to adopt a godparent for the time being."

They refused?!

That's Holy Spirit Douluo! Countless high-ranking officials and top sects would kill for such a connection, and this kid didn't even hesitate before rejecting it outright?

Mu Ye's tense old face instantly relaxed, his mustache twitched, and he almost burst out laughing.

Good lad, you've got guts! No wonder he's Mu Ye's apprentice; he doesn't take those Shrek students seriously at all!

Ya Li was clearly taken aback by such a straightforward rejection, and she was momentarily stunned.

She looked down at herself, then at Lu Guan, feeling somewhat disappointed, but then she quickly remembered something and tentatively began to speak.

Is it because of your biological parents?

"If you're worried they might have reservations, I can personally talk to them and discuss it. I absolutely won't let you suffer any injustice, nor will I take away your status as someone close to them."

In Ya Li's opinion, a child this young would refuse her suggestion most likely because he was afraid his parents would overthink it.

Given her status, she would likely not refuse if she personally visited the child's parents to bring up the matter.

Upon hearing the words "biological parents," Lu Guan's expression softened slightly.

Lu Guan didn't explain, he just shook his head again and remained silent.

Seeing Lu Guan's expression, showing no sign of backing down, Ya Li sighed softly.

Forced relationships are never sweet, and she's not the kind of person who bullies others by taking advantage of their power.

"If that's the case, then I've been presumptuous."

Ya Li composed herself, took out a jade pendant that was entirely emerald green and carved with angel wings from her Storage Soul Tool, and handed it to Lu Guan from a distance.

"Our meeting is fate. This Winged Pendant contains the healing light I unleashed three times at full power. You are still young. In your future adventures, if you encounter a life-or-death crisis, it can save your life."

Lu Guan looked at the emerald green jade pendant floating in front of him, but instead of reaching out to take it, he turned to look at Mu Ye.

Mu Ye snorted and slightly raised his chin.

"Why are you looking at me? This is a gift from an elder, and I dare not refuse it. It is a kind gesture from His Her Holiness Holy Spirit, so please accept it!"

A free life-saving trump card—don't miss it!

Lu Guan then reached out and took the jade pendant. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and the Seed of Life within him trembled slightly again.

"Thank you, Your Her Holiness Holy Spirit."

Ya Li smiled gently, said nothing more, nodded slightly to Zhen Hua and Mu Ye, and turned to leave.
