...
"Let alone taking care of Lingling, even if it means stepping on a mountain of blades or plunging into a sea of fire, Luo Nan would never frown even a little!"
"Furthermore, Lingling possesses the Nine Heart Begonia, the number one healing Spirit in the World. Being able to stay in Moon Pavilion is our Moon Pavilion's good fortune."
"Rest assured, as long as I, Luo Nan, still have a breath left, no one in this World will be able to touch a single hair on Lingling's head!"
Tang Yuehua also walked forward briskly, gently pulling Ye Lingling's cold little hand, and said softly:
"Senior Ye, please rest assured and leave Lingling to us. I will treat her like my own biological daughter."
"Moreover, Yanyan is also here. The two of them are of a similar age,"
"and have known each other since childhood. Being together will give them company, and I will definitely not let her suffer any grievances."
Hearing such resounding promises from Luo Nan and Tang Yuehua, Granny Ye Ci's heart, which had been hanging for many years, finally settled.
She let out a long breath, a look of relief appearing on her face.
"Good... Good... With your words, this old woman can die with a smile on her face even if she closes her eyes right now."
Granny Ye Ci turned her head, looking at Ye Lingling with her red-rimmed eyes, and said lovingly:
"Lingling, quickly, call Uncle Luo Nan and Aunt Yuehua. From now on, this is your home."
Although Ye Lingling had a cold and introverted personality, she was also extremely sensible.
Forcibly holding back the tears in her eyes, she obediently bowed to Luo Nan and Tang Yuehua:
"Lingling... greets Uncle Luo Nan and Aunt Yuehua."
"Good child."
Tang Yuehua pulled Ye Lingling into her arms with heartache.
After explaining everything, Granny Ye Ci leaned on her cane and slowly stood up, seeming ready to say her goodbyes and leave.
"Since Lingling has already been settled, this old woman should be leaving as well."
"Senior, wait a moment!"
Luo Nan suddenly spoke up, blocking Granny Ye Ci's path.
Looking at this elderly person whose candle was flickering in the wind, he said sincerely:
"Senior, you are now advanced in age and living alone outside the city."
"There isn't even someone by your side to pour tea or water, how could Lingling possibly rest easy?"
"Besides, although we are taking care of the two little girls Yanyan and Lingling,"
"after all, they are still young and need a familiar elder by their side to guide them."
"If Senior doesn't mind, the backyard of Moon Pavilion is very spacious and the environment is serene."
"Why don't you stay here to spend your remaining years?"
"Usually planting flowers and raising grass, watching these two little girls grow up, wouldn't that be much better than living alone and desolate outside the city?"
Hearing Luo Nan's retention, Granny Ye Ci was stunned.
She originally did not want to cause trouble for Luo Nan, but when she saw Ye Lingling's gaze full of anticipation and pleading, the softest spot in her heart was ultimately touched after all.
That's right, her remaining days were numbered; being able to accompany her granddaughter for one more day was also a good thing.
"Sigh... You child are always so thoughtful."
Granny Ye Ci sighed and finally nodded.
"In that case, this old woman will brazenly ask for a meal at your place."
Just like that, Moon Pavilion welcomed three special guests in a single day.
Poison Douluo's granddaughter Dugu Yan, the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Lingling, and the previous generation's successor of the Nine Heart Begonia Granny Ye Ci.
Because of the arrival of these two little lolis, Moon Pavilion suddenly gained a bit of vitality and vigor.
...
And at the same time that this heartwarming scene was playing out inside Moon Pavilion,
Heaven Dou City.
Amidst the bustling crowd, there was a figure that appeared out of place, one could even say standing out like a crane among chickens.
That was a middle-aged man.
He stood well over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a wide back, his skeletal frame robust and tough to the extreme, resembling a perfect statue carved from granite.
He wore a pure black robe without any redundant decorations, a head of dense black hair scattered casually over his broad shoulders.
The man's appearance was extremely handsome, his facial features as three-dimensional as if carved by a knife and axe, exuding the ultimate charm of a mature man.
But what was most eye-catching was his pair of eyes.
That was a pair of pure golden eyes!
Profound, majestic, cold, and aloof!
As if all living beings in this World were nothing more than insignificant ants in his eyes.
He simply walked quietly down the main street without deliberately releasing any aura, yet that innate composure and dominance spread outwards like substance.
The surrounding pedestrians and vendors, when they were still several meters away from him, would involuntarily feel a wave of palpitation and chest tightness, subconsciously clearing a wide path for him.
No one dared to look directly into his eyes, and no one even dared to approach within three steps of him.
This man looked like someone who was definitely not to be messed with!
If Luo Nan were here at this moment, seeing this man's appearance and those iconic golden eyes, he would definitely be so shocked as to gasp a breath of cold air, or even immediately summon his twin spirits to await in full battle array!
Because this middle-aged man who looked like a human was not a human at all!
He was precisely the uncrowned king of the Star Dou Great Forest, a peerless Vicious Beast with 810,000 years of cultivation, the Beast God Di Tian!
Back then, after Di Tian finished handling matters in the Great Fierce Land, he came out to look for Luo Nan.
With Di Tian's strength and wisdom, wanting to inquire about a person's information in the human World was simply as easy as turning over his hand.
Furthermore, Luo Nan's characteristics were simply too obvious.
Early twenties in age, a detached Spirit, the Golden Sacred Dragon!
Adding these labels together made Luo Nan's reputation in the Spirit Master's world as blazing as the midday sun, practically even louder than the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
After Di Tian casually grabbed a few Spirit Masters and inquired of them in a particularly friendly manner, he effortlessly obtained all of Luo Nan's basic information and tracked him all the way, ultimately arriving at this bustling Heaven Dou City.
"Human cities... truly clamorous and fragile."
Di Tian stopped in his steps, raising his head to gaze up at the towering imperial palace in the center of Heaven Dou City, a hint of disdain flashing through his golden eyes.
In his view, these buildings piled up with stone and wood could be completely razed to the ground with a single breath if he so desired.
However, Di Tian had not forgotten the purpose of his trip.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his terrifying Mental Energy, massive enough to cover the entire Heaven Dou City, instantly spread out in all directions like an invisible giant net.
He was searching for that familiar aura.
That profundity belonging to the Dark Demon Dragon, as well as the holiness belonging to the Golden Sacred Dragon!
"Luo Nan... you cannot escape."
"This seat would like to see what kind of secrets are actually hidden inside this human shell of yours!"
Di Tian abruptly opened both eyes, two terrifying rays of sharp light bursting out from his golden pupils.
He had already locked onto the direction of his target, which was none other than Moon Pavilion, the most elegant and luxurious building in Heaven Dou City!
He strode forward with his slender legs, resembling a monarch inspecting his territory, walking unhurriedly toward the direction of Moon Pavilion.
