Doudou went to sleep after she got tired from crying.

Li Xiumei had tidied a room for her. She decorated it like a princess's room, and it looked very cozy. It was highly suitable for a little girl.

She carefully placed Doudou on the bed. When she looked up, she saw Wang Teng standing at the door.

"Shh!" Li Xiumei placed her forefinger on her lips and signaled Wang Teng to speak after they got out of the room.

When they walked out, she closed the door behind them softly. Then, she said, "She finally fell asleep. Don't wake her up."

"This little fellow is very smart and obedient. She will get over it soon," Wang Teng said.

"Who can be certain about this?" Li Xiumei replied.

"What do you plan to do? We don't have the right to keep her with us. This isn't a solution." Wang Shengguo came over and spoke to them.

"Why don't we adopt her?" Li Xiumei hesitated before suggesting.

"Adopt her?!" Wang Shengguo and Wang Teng looked at her in astonishment.

They didn't expect her to have this idea.

"Have you thought about it clearly?" Wang Shengguo frowned and asked.

Adopting a child wasn't an easy task, especially for a family like them. They needed to consider many things.

"I've thought about it the entire afternoon. I heard her mother saying that she's the only daughter. Doudou's grandparents have passed away, and she doesn't have any relatives that can take care of her. Let's not talk about Wang Fugui's relatives. They are all cruel and unscrupulous people. None of them has a good heart. If we allow them to raise Doudou, it's like sending her to the tiger's den. We should adopt her," Li Xiumei said.

"Son, what do you think?" Wang Shengguo looked at Wang Teng.

"Me? I don't have any objections. It's alright to have a younger sister," Wang Teng replied nonchalantly. "Also, Doudou is really pitiful. If what Mom said is true and her relatives are all unreliable, it won't be a good idea to pass her to them."

"Since you think that it's fine, I have no objections either. I like Doudou. However, no matter how much we discuss, we still need to ask Doudou for her opinion," Wang Shengguo said.

"You're right. Why don't we let her stay in our house for some time before mentioning this matter to her?" Li Xiumei asked.

"Let's do that." Wang Shengguo nodded. "Alright, let's go and sleep."

"I'll accompany Doudou today. I won't be going back to sleep," Li Xiumei said to Wang Shengguo.

"Haha, Dad, you are out of favor," Wang Teng didn't forget to land a blow on his father.

"Go away, you little brat." Wang Shengguo rolled his eyes and pretended that he wanted to knock Wang Teng's head.

Wang Teng dodged and ran away immediately…

A silent night.

The following day, Wang Teng got up early and started his morning exercise in the courtyard.

He faced the sun and cultivated his Force.

During his one-month trip to the Xingwu Continent, he had gradually cultivated the habit of practicing whenever he had the time. He didn't want to waste any time.

He was back home, so he didn't have the sense of urgency from the life or death situations anymore. But, he must not stop his practice.

After he finished practicing his Sky Cremating Sword Skill, Wang Teng slowly stabilized himself and retracted his fire Force back into his Force nucleus. He let out a breath of hot air.

The Sky Cremating Sword Skill is an earth-rank elite-class battle technique. Its sword presence is harder to comprehend than the Fire Kirin Sword Skill. It looks like I need to spend more time practicing it. Wang Teng wondered to himself.

He kept his battle sword. Just as he was preparing to practice his blade skill, he turned and saw a quiet and tiny figure sitting in front of the door of the villa with the corner of his eyes. The person had her hands on her chin and was staring at him intently with her dark and bright eyes.

"Doudou, why are you up so early?" Wang Teng was slightly stunned. He walked forward and squatted in front of her.

"Sleeping and waking up early are the traits of a good child," Doudou said in her cute voice.

"Erm… you are right. Doudou is a good child," Wang Teng's pupils twirled around his eyes as he quickly praised her.

"Yes, Doudou is a good child." Doudou nodded in agreement.

This little fellow is quite narcissistic. Wang Teng laughed secretly.

"Brother Wang Teng, were you practicing martial arts just now?" Doudou waved her hands exaggeratedly as she asked.

"Yes, I was practicing martial arts. Is it fun to watch?" asked Wang Teng.

"Yes. You're so amazing," Doudou said earnestly.

"Shall I show you another kind of martial arts?" Wang Teng smiled.

"Okay!" Doudou nodded. She stared at Wang Teng without blinking as he walked to the open ground in front. He held his battle sword in his hand and started practicing.

The glamorous sword rays engulfed Wang Teng's body. He purposely slowed down his movement and made it pleasant to watch. His actions weren't as sharp, simple, and decisive as when he was in a battle.

The mighty Moving Mountain Blade Skill was forcefully changed into a performance technique that Wang Teng used to coax a child.

What would the other martial warriors think if they saw this scene?

"How is it?" Wang Teng stopped and asked.

"It looks good. Brother Wang Teng, you're so amazing. I wish that I was as powerful as you." Doudou suddenly got depressed.

ヾ(.ꏿ_ꏿ)ノ゙

Wang Teng was given a shock. He wouldn't be able to deal with this young girl if she started crying.

"Doudou, why don't I teach you martial arts?" Wang Teng had a sudden thought and said quickly.

"Will I be as powerful as you if I practice martial arts?" Doudou's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

"Of course. When you practice martial arts, you might become stronger than me," Wang Teng agreed as though he was speaking the truth.

"I will follow Brother Wang Teng and learn martial arts then." Doudou stood up immediately and ran towards Wang Teng with her short legs. "Brother Wang Teng, teach me quickly."

"Slow down, slow down. Don't fall."

…

When Li Xiumei came out to call them in for breakfast, she saw Wang Teng teaching Doudou how to do the horse stance. Although Doudou was young, her posture was quite good. Even an adult would feel deeply ashamed if they saw her perseverance.

"Hey, stop practicing. Doudou is still young. How can she practice martial arts? Look at the sweat on her forehead. Don't exhaust her." Li Xiumei walked over and pulled Doudou into her arms worriedly. She wiped the huge beads of sweat from her forehead.

"Mom, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Adequate practice is good for her," Wang Teng said.

"I don't understand all these. Just be careful in the future," Li Xiumei reminded him in a worried tone.

"Fine, I will take extra notice. I won't tire out your little doll." Wang Teng suddenly felt that his family status had been lowered by a few levels.

Mom, I'm no longer the child you loved the most!

He was experiencing grief all alone.

"Doudou, let's stop for today, alright? Let's go and have breakfast," Li Xiumei said.

"Okay." Doudou looked at Wang Teng. She only replied to Li Xiumei after he nodded.

Li Xiumei was jealous when she saw this scene.

I'm looking at you, but you looked at him instead.

Hahaha… Wang Teng was laughing happily in his heart.
