Chapter 4: Adopting Na'er

Glancing at the time, Aither realized there was still over an hour left. He decided to go and check on the protagonist Tang Wulin! Even though he wasn't particularly interested in Tang Wulin, what if he triggered another sign-in!

After all, places where the protagonist has been could trigger sign-ins, so there's no reason why the protagonist himself couldn't trigger one...

Ten minutes later, Aither returned to Hongshan Academy, activated his Thousand Winds Transformation, and instantly located Tang Wulin.

At this moment, the first-year students of Hongshan Academy were being taught meditation methods. Tang Wulin, with his big eyes wide open, eagerly watched as the teacher passed by him to guide other students.

Six-year-old Tang Wulin pouted slightly in frustration. He had raised his hand too, so why did the teacher pretend not to see him, just because his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass?

But... wasn't it said that even the Sea God's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass?

Sigh...

A gentle breeze brushed past, calming Tang Wulin's restless heart. The cool breeze felt refreshing.

However... it was actually Aither in his Thousand Winds form gently caressing Tang Wulin's cheeks. Yet, it seemed that transforming into Thousand Winds didn't have any power other than peeping.

As for why he wanted to pinch Tang Wulin's cheeks?

There's no way around it, he's just too cute. Six-year-old Tang Wulin doesn't even look like a boy. His clothes are also on the neutral side. If Aither didn't know the plot in advance, he would definitely mistake Tang Wulin for a girl! The child's cheeks are smooth and comfortable...

Just as Aither was getting addicted to pinching, the blue light curtain finally appeared before him.

[The Normal sign-in system found that a regular sign-in can be done at this time. Do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking: Template Unlock Degree: 1%]

Although Aither was in his Thousand Winds form, it didn't hinder him from feeling his own power.

When Thousand Winds was awakened just now, its range was only a hundred meters, but now it has expanded to two hundred meters! And the bloodline belonging to the dragon part of the Geo Archon's bloodline has finally been developed. Although he doesn't know how much stronger he has become, he can definitely defeat three of his previous selves!

As for what Morax's true form is in Genshin Impact, Aither doesn't know. There's a saying that all the Archons in Genshin Impact are the most basic elements, and the ultimate evolution is the dragon form. Aither doesn't know if this is true, but the Geo Archon's template has indeed enhanced Aither's control over the earth element and also brought him a dragon bloodline no weaker than Tang Wulin's!

Although Aither doesn't know the true form of the Geo Archon, his own true form is that of a Wind Spirit!

Even with the dragon bloodline and control over the earth element, Aither's true form is still a Wind Spirit!

Aither glanced at Tang Wulin, who was clumsily trying to meditate with closed eyes, and his mouth curved slightly. 'In return for helping me unlock one percent of the template, I'll give you a little reminder...'

Hoo...

A gentle breeze brushed over Tang Wulin's cheeks, and it seemed that a voice in the wind was telling him to relax, concentrate, follow his feelings, follow the wind, and let the wind guide him...

As the gentle breeze passed, Tang Wulin's slight soul power surged, and a trace of soul power merged into Tang Wulin's body!

Tang Wulin suddenly opened his eyes, "I did it!"

"Tang Wulin, don't shout! Other students are still meditating!" The teacher reprimanded Tang Wulin disapprovingly.

Tang Wulin frowned, about to explain, but found that the teacher had already turned away to guide other students, so he could only sigh and continue to meditate.

However, re-entering the meditation state was not so smooth. Without the guidance of the gentle breeze, it took Tang Wulin over ten minutes to enter the state of meditation again.

Has that person left?

Tang Wulin felt a faint sense of loss. Although he didn't know who was helping him, he was sure that someone was helping him! Because there was a breath in the wind that made him want to get closer!

On the other hand, Aither, who had left Hongshan Academy, returned to human form and continued to walk along the road to find Na'er.

Although Tang Wulin is cute enough, but... a little boy can't compare to a little girl! Moreover, that little girl is Aither's designated future wife!

Following the path, Aither finally saw the little cutie on the roadside.

Na'er squatted on the side of the road, wearing tattered clothes. The sunlight shone on her silver hair, reflecting a silver sparkle.

As Aither observed Na'er, perhaps due to the pull of fate, Na'er also looked up at Aither.

Na'er's face was dirty, matched with her shabby clothes, she looked like a little beggar. Her pair of purple eyes were like clear amethysts. At the first sight of Aither, those big eyes clearly showed a hint of curiosity, probably curious about Aither's rare silver hair like hers. However... Aither's eyes are not purple but red, like rubies.

Suddenly seeing Na'er, Aither hadn't figured out how to approach her yet, so he could only stand still and gaze at Na'er.

Facing Aither's somewhat passionate gaze, Na'er's face blushed slightly, but... even so, Na'er didn't look away. Because... there seemed to be a very comfortable aura emanating from Aither, making Na'er unable to resist wanting to get closer to him.

Aither looked at Na'er, who was staring at him intently, hesitated for a moment, and walked up to her.

"Little sister, where are your parents?"

Na'er shook her head blankly.

"What's your name?"

"Na'er..." Na'er said softly.

"Uh..." Aither rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. How can he, who is in his twenties in his past life, possibly snatch away a five-year-old little girl? He can't just walk away with her like Tang Wulin did with the little girl.

Then, Na'er and Aither stared at each other for two or three minutes.

"Are you an orphan?" Aither blurted out, then wanted to give himself a big slap. Why did he say that!

"Yeah!" Na'er nodded.

"Do you have nowhere to go now?" Aither asked.

Na'er continued to nod her head slightly.

"Then, can you come with me?" Aither grinned, "I'm an orphan too. You can stay with me from now on!"

"Yeah!" Na'er looked at Aither and agreed without hesitation.

"Huh? Just like that? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person? I'm thinking of tricking you into becoming a foster daughter..." Aither chuckled, showing a bit of the sneaky style of Barbatos.

"It's... It's okay..." Na'er replied weakly...
