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 w.a.n.g Teng standing at the door.

“Shh!” Li Xiumei placed her forefinger on her lips and signaled w.a.n.g 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,” w.a.n.g 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.” w.a.n.g Shengguo came over and spoke to them.

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

“Adopt her?!” w.a.n.g Shengguo and w.a.n.g Teng looked at her in astonishment.

They didn't expect her to have this idea.

“Have you thought about it clearly?” w.a.n.g 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 pa.s.sed away, and she doesn't have any relatives that can take care of her. Let's not talk about w.a.n.g 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?” w.a.n.g Shengguo looked at w.a.n.g Teng.

“Me? I don't have any objections. It's alright to have a younger sister,” w.a.n.g 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 pa.s.s 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,” w.a.n.g 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.” w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Shengguo.

“Haha, Dad, you are out of favor,” w.a.n.g Teng didn't forget to land a blow on his father.

“Go away, you little brat.” w.a.n.g Shengguo rolled his eyes and pretended that he wanted to knock w.a.n.g Teng's head.

w.a.n.g Teng dodged and ran away immediately…

A silent night.

The following day, w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g 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-cla.s.s 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. w.a.n.g 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?” w.a.n.g 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,” w.a.n.g 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. w.a.n.g Teng laughed secretly.

“Brother w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Teng.

“Yes. You're so amazing,” Doudou said earnestly.

“Shall I show you another kind of martial arts?” w.a.n.g Teng smiled.

“Okay!” Doudou nodded. She stared at w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Teng used to coax a child.

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

“How is it?” w.a.n.g Teng stopped and asked.

“It looks good. Brother w.a.n.g Teng, you're so amazing. I wish that I was as powerful as you.” Doudou suddenly got depressed.

ヾ(.ꏿ_ꏿ)ノ゙

w.a.n.g 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?” w.a.n.g 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,” w.a.n.g Teng agreed as though he was speaking the truth.

“I will follow Brother w.a.n.g Teng and learn martial arts then.” Doudou stood up immediately and ran towards w.a.n.g Teng with her short legs. “Brother w.a.n.g Teng, teach me quickly.”

“Slow down, slow down. Don't fall.”

When Li Xiumei came out to call them in for breakfast, she saw w.a.n.g 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,” w.a.n.g 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.” w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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… w.a.n.g Teng was laughing happily in his heart.
