Ye Lingtong’s home.
Ye Lingtong held onto a Soul Guidance Communication Device, sobbing spasmodically as she narrated her sorrowful experience to Ye Feng.
“Daddy, daddy, why did it turn out like that! I’m unconvinced. I should have won! Why did it turn out like that? My classmates said that it was because I like Lan Xuanyu and that’s why I let him win. I don’t like him, I want to win over him.”
On the other end of the line, Ye Feng frowned. “No! You have grasped the fundamental control over the Celestial Body. Even if your spirit was suppressed, the response shouldn’t have been that great. Wasn’t it fine in the beginning? This is indeed strange and your Daddy doesn’t want to make wild speculations. Don’t cry. There isn’t anything wrong with your Celestial Dragon. The problem should be with Xuanyu. Wait till Daddy comes home from his mission, we will comprehend his abilities in detail.”
“Daddy, I want to win over him! You must teach me the way to beat him!” Ye Lingtong screamed into the device.
“Daddy is about to go into a meeting. We will talk more when I get back.” With that, Ye Feng hung up.
“Commander, everyone is here.” An officer with the rank of lieutenant walked over to Ye Feng and reported with a salute.
“Let’s go, we’ll start.” Ye Feng’s expression became calm and composed. At that moment, he was dressed in his military uniform with a solemn expression.
He entered the conference room where eight men sat around the table. Upon his entry, they stood from their seats and saluted him.
The conference room immediately plunged into a cold and somber atmosphere.
“Sit.” Ye Feng waved his hand. Only then did the other officers take their seats.
Ye Feng then said, “I believe everyone has read through the data. Due to the urgency of this, we have to mobilize the Valiant Dragon Special Forces and to avoid the citizens from going into state panic, we need to end this fast. We will maintain radio silence on all Soul Guidance Communication Devices from the start till the end of the mission. Enable all of our internal comms. Intelligence will work with us and provide us with prompts and live information. I want all of you to prepare well for the battle ahead. We are faced against an extremely brutal and organized enemy with extremely strong anti-reconnaissance abilities. We cannot let any of these fishes escape, otherwise, it will bring about even greater harm to the public.”
“Yes!”
…
To Lan Xuanyu, life was rich and filled with happiness. It had been that way ever since Nana came into his life.
In the day, he would attend classes and at night, he would train with Nana. Although it was tough, he felt that he was improving extremely fast, especially on the water element aspects.. Only the progress with his spirit power remained slow.
His happiest was his time during meals. Nana would bring home some queer and odd ingredients. Not only were they delicious, but he would also feel an extreme sense of comfort and coziness after he’s done eating those foods. What’s different was that Lan Xuanyu’s food intake on these odd ingredients became more ordinary.
In the beginning, Nan Cheng would deliberately observe Nana but she quickly realized that Nana truly adored Xuanyu. Her expressions, especially the look in her eyes, could not be faked. It was a wave of emotions that came from her heart.
Adding that Lan Xuanyu was happy every single day alongside his improvements, she gradually became well at ease and went back to work.
On the tenth day of his departure, Lan Xiao made his first call with the Communications device to inform Nan Cheng that their operation was going well. He followed that they would jump through a wormhole to probe the new world. The next call would be in a month’s time, and at the same time, the entire operation would continue on for half a year.
In this period, Ye Lingtong’s attitude towards Lan Xuanyu got worse. Owing to the rumors her classmates had, she deliberately stayed away from him. Adding to the fact that they were in different classes, their encounters became rare.
Lan Xuanyu had a bad impression of her and he naturally did not seek her out voluntarily. He just went through his familiar and happy routine just like what he does every single day.
Just like that, three months have passed in the blink of the eye.
“Woah, son, you seem to have grown taller.” Nan Cheng smiled as she stood by Lan Xuanyu’s side to measure his height. He had grown to a height that surpassed her stomach. For a boy that was not even seven-years-old, he was already at 1.3 meters tall. He was now the tallest amongst the students of his class.
Not only was he taller, but his physique had also grown to be more well-proportionate and strong. He was already so good looking, but now it felt as though there was a faint layer of light beneath his skin as though he was radiating a tender luster. Wherever he walked, attention would fall onto him.
While commenting on her son’s height, Nan Cheng looked and smiled towards Nana. Although she was unsure of how Nana did it, it was obvious that Lan Xuanyu’s changes were linked to the food he ate.
Nan Cheng had specially researched the ingredients and identified a few of them. She was unsure of their price, but she found out that they were extremely precious. And Nana never asked her for a cent in exchange. If not for Nan Cheng insisting on paying her, Nana would never have taken anything.
With another person wholeheartedly caring for her son’s well being, Nan Cheng was actually happy. Additionally, that person was probably the most powerful Title Douluo! So, not only did she accept Nana, but she even had respect towards her.
Through the three months of training, Lan Xuanyu’s Spirit Power was able to break through the 13th rank. All those precious ingredients were not for nothing. His physique and fundamentals were sculpted well as well.
“Teacher Nana, we are going to bring Xuanyu out tomorrow.” Nan Cheng smiled. “We can’t have him work constantly and allow him some time to enjoy and relax. What do you say?”
“Where are we going? That’s great!.” Lan Xuanyu jumped around in excitement.
Nan Cheng flicked his forehead lightly. “You only become so energetic after hearing enjoyment.”
Nana frowned when she saw Nan Cheng’s finger gently knock onto Lan Xuanyu’s forehead. Her fingers moved ever so slightly, but in the end, she shifted her gaze and replied, “Alright.”
“There’s a new large building in the city and it is said that there is a trampoline park in there. That’s rather interesting. I’ll bring you there. We can then look for a restaurant to eat together. Your father called me yesterday and asked me to bring you out more,” Nan Cheng said.
“That’s awesome! Mum is the best.”
“Then practice hard with Teacher Nana, mommy will go out and buy some food back.” Nan Cheng then left, leaving Lan Xuanyu and Nana alone at home.
Lan Xuanyu turned and smiled towards Nana with glee. Suddenly, he charged towards Nana. Whilst in the pounce, a shadow separated out from his shoulder in the other direction. In his right hand, a faint gold glimmer lit up. His speed increased exponentially as he suddenly appeared in the position of the shadow.
Nana smiled and swung her head. The long silver hair that touched the ground swept outwards. Every strand of her hair was almost like an eye as they sealed Lan Xuanyu’s movements.
Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. He struck forward with his left hand that blossomed with silver light as a water beam gushed out from his palm to strike the silver hair in front of him. He used the momentum to stop abruptly and perform a 90-degree turn.
The silver hair swept and actually absorbed the water element from the water beam completely. At this time, Lan Xuanyu had nimbly shifted to the side, spinning with the intent to get to Nana’s back.
Nana lowered her frame and actually knelt down. She did not make any adjustments, making it look as though Lan Xuanyu’s charge would collide straight into her.
A water vortex surged out from his left hand and moved to trap Nana while Lan Xuanyu immediately did another turn.
Nana took a deep breath and inhaled the entire water vortex. What’s even more terrifying was that that suction made Lan Xuanyu almost lose control of his momentum.
He raised both hands upwards with the intention to block, but Nana took another breath. The gentle suction forced his body to move instead.
“Boop” Nana’s red lips had planted onto his baby cheeks.
