Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 20 Changes in Na'er

After a brief silence, Tang Wulin considered the matter carefully and finally decided to respond to this kind-hearted older sister with a white lie.

"Well, Sister Leng, no need to trouble you. I have successfully absorbed the soul spirit in the Spirit Transmission Tower in our city."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at the internal system of the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City on the screen.

"Oh? You've already absorbed a soul? Are you sure? What year and type is it? It's not some man-made defective product, is it?"

"Yes, I absorbed it. It's the soul spirit of a hundred-year-old Mandragora Snake, which perfectly complements my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. So I won't trouble you any further, Sister Leng," Tang Wulin said with a hint of apology.

"A hundred-year-old Mandala Snake soul..." Upon hearing this, and looking at Tang Wulin's blank soul slot in the system, Leng Yaozhu's lips curled into a smile.

It seems her adorable little brother is hiding some secrets.

While pondering, Leng Yaozhu lightly moved her jade fingers and, with the authority of the deputy tower master of the headquarters, added a hundred-year-old Datura snake to Tang Wulin's blank soul spirit slot in the background.

After finishing, she stretched and then said to Tang Wulin, who looked slightly nervous on the other end:
"Alright, it's no big deal. Look at how nervous you are. Now that you've already absorbed it, I won't have to worry about you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback.

He never expected that this older sister, whom he knew but had never met, would care about him so much.

You should know that a random soul spirit that takes ten years to grow can cost tens of thousands of Federal Credits!
After a long pause, Tang Wulin spoke in a complicated tone.

"Then thank you for your concern, sister."

Leng Yaozhu on the other end nodded as a matter of course.

"Hmm, good to know, you little ingrate."

Not enough, Leng Yaozhu changed the subject again.

"Alright, now that you have a soul, hurry up and update. I haven't been able to sleep these past few days, and I was thinking of using your story to pass the time."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was somewhat bewildered.

Is the change really that fast?
How come they were all lovey-dovey siblings one second, and the next they're in a superior-subordinate relationship as editor and author?
As if sensing Tang Wulin's bewilderment, Leng Yaozhu on the other end suddenly flashed a strange, mischievous smile.

"What? Didn't you just say that your inspiration was so abundant that it was about to overflow from your mind?"

"Then why aren't you hurrying up and updating?"

"Little Linlin, you don't want your royalties to disappear for no reason next month, do you?"

"Or perhaps, young author, you don't want your identity and address to be known by your readers?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's expression instantly turned awkward.

"Alright, little Linlin, I'm going to take a bath now. If I don't see the update later, you know what will happen."

After saying that, before Tang Wulin could speak, Leng Yaozhu hung up the phone first, satisfied.

"Beep beep."

Tang Wulin stared at his now-offline account, tears welling up in his eyes, and could only helplessly accept this reality.

Sigh, I can't escape being pressured to submit my work no matter where I go.

So, Tang Wulin opened the writer's assistant again and began his writing journey.

However, what Tang Wulin didn't notice was that at the same time, Na'er, who was fast asleep behind him, was strangely emitting a colorful light.

On the other end, Leng Yaozhu, after hanging up the phone, did not go to take a shower as she had just said, but instead sat quietly at the table.

Her eyes seemed to hold a sense of reminiscence, yet also a complex mix of emotions, as she gazed at Tang Wulin's readership.

To be precise, her gaze was focused on one of the group members who was clamoring for Tang Wulin to give his address so she could personally confront him offline.

Gazing at the "Black Phoenix" who had vowed to burn Tang Wulin to death with phoenix fire, Leng Yaozhu parted her lips slightly, her gaze slowly shifting to the photo of the two sisters beside her. "Yu Lai..."

The night was deep, and the bright moonlight shone through the window into the room.

Tang Wulin was diligently writing to make a living, while his sister behind him, due to her indescribable emotional fluctuations towards her brother, was activated by a mysterious light.

Gradually, as time quietly passed, the soft halo around Na'er slowly faded.

At the same time, her petite body seemed to have grown slightly, as if her height, which had not increased significantly in three years, was about to break through overnight.

Here, time flows slowly.

"Hmm... I'm finally done writing. Writing more than a dozen novels at the same time is quite tiring. I should have known better than to write so many."

Tang Wulin stretched out a big yawn, shut down the soul-guided computer, and prepared to rest.

Looking at Na'er's sweet sleeping face on the bed, Tang Wulin's lips curled up slightly. After tucking Na'er back in, he slowly closed his eyes.

early morning.

"Bang bang bang, Na'er, Lin'er, are you up yet? Breakfast is ready, get up quickly, your Aunt Yin'er is still waiting outside."

Hearing Lang Yue's mother's call, Tang Wulin rubbed his sleepy eyes and replied:
"Got it, Mom."

Then, Tang Wulin tried to wake up Na'er, who was lying on top of him.

However, when Tang Wulin saw the familiar purple eyes in his arms, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"Oh? Na'er, why are you awake so early today?"

He had long been accustomed to the fact that Na'er would automatically appear in his arms every time he woke up.

His embrace seemed to be Na'er's exclusive refresh point, no matter how far away he kept at night or how tightly he wrapped himself up.

But every morning when Na'er woke up, she would be lying in his arms right on time.

However, Na'er used to be a lazybones who needed him to wake her up.

Why did I get up so early today?

Before he could continue speaking, Na'er suddenly asked, "Brother, if one day I were to leave you, or even disappear from this world, would you miss me?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback.

Then, to his surprise, he realized that Na'er seemed different from usual today.

Na'er, who should only reach his chest, has grown much taller today and is almost up to his nose!

"Her height, which hadn't changed in three years, has suddenly changed today... What exactly happened to Na'er?"

Moreover, the changes in Na'er reminded Tang Wulin of what happened yesterday. His sister, who usually needed him to tell her stories to lull her to sleep every day, was able to fall asleep on her own yesterday without him having to coax her.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin felt a strange unease welling up in his heart.

Looking at Na'er in his arms, whose eyes were slightly dazed, Tang Wulin, a novelist, immediately realized that his feeling was correct!
Something unexpected must have happened to Na'er that he was unaware of!

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin immediately sat up, then tightly grasped Na'er's small hand, hooked his little finger around hers, and said solemnly:

"Na'er, promise your brother you won't say those things again, because you will never disappear."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand in front of you and protect you, Na'er!"

"Don't forget, this is also the promise your brother made to you three years ago, and it's also our agreement! You have to trust your brother!"

Yes, before they knew it, Na'er had been with their family for three years, and he had long regarded Na'er as his own younger sister.

And now, his Na'er is telling him that she wants to leave, and even disappear from this world.

How could he possibly tolerate this!
