Nian Wanzhou and a group of children were eating happily, and even forgot to turn back into human form.
She is now very familiar with this appearance, and she chooses to eat pure foods with spiritual power, but she still retains her human nature by adding seasonings and the like.
Seeing that the little white dragon was eating and drinking with them like a child, they were even happier. The little ones picked up pieces of meat and vegetables and fed them to the little white dragon.
After a meal, Zhao Zhishan played with the children in the yard, still acting like a doting father.
Seeing this, Nian Wanzhou couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Senior brother, are they... also brought back by our adoptive father like me?"
Zhao Zhishan thought his junior sister was jealous, so he quickly explained in a low voice, "Junior sister, they are all orphans picked up by the Sixth Elder. They were able to stay because they have some talent for cultivation."
"However, you... are the most different. You are of dragon origin, just like the Sixth Elder. Don't worry too much."
“I’m not worried. I’m just curious why my senior brother is willing to take care of these children for our godfather, when everyone… is avoiding them like the plague.”
Thinking of the differential treatment they received at the beginning, and the dislike from Le Xi and others, Nian Wanzhou felt very sorry for these children.
Having no one to rely on since childhood, and finally having a chance to survive, I still have to live by the graces of others...
That must be really difficult, right?
So they were quite careful and didn't dare to wander around.
Compared to that, Nian Wanzhou felt very lucky, including her past life.
Because she was a girl, many of her female classmates had experienced injustice from their families. Sometimes, when she heard them talk about their family matters, the sorrow on their faces and their confusion about the future made Nian Wanzhou feel more and more that she was fortunate to have parents who loved her...
I'm really lucky.
At that time, she was still very naive, trying her best to help these female classmates, and even wanted to become a female politician in the future to speak out for these girls and overthrow those injustices.
Unfortunately, that illness took her away.
After a brief moment of sadness, Nian Wanzhou did not continue reminiscing, but listened attentively to Zhao Zhishan recount his past.
“Because I think they’re like me… your senior brother here really likes kids, so I’m happy to take care of them.” Zhao Zhishan said, chuckling as he patted Nian Wanzhou’s head.
Zhao Zhishan was born into a royal family, but he was not favored from a young age and had no brothers or sisters to keep him company.
Zhao Zhishan was particularly lonely as a child. Although he always appeared sunny and handsome in front of outsiders, deep down he longed for family affection.
In his youth, Zhao Zhishan always fantasized about having a younger sister, an older brother, an older sister, or a younger brother.
Unfortunately... it never happened.
Later, because of his exceptional talent and suitability for sword cultivation, he was discovered by the Grand Elder who was out on a training mission and brought back to the sect for cultivation.
A year later, he encountered the children that the Sixth Elder had brought back, and then...
Through a series of coincidences, he gradually got to know these children and they became close friends.
He wanted to protect these children so that they could grow up safely and happily, unlike him, who grew up lonely, miserable, and full of intrigue.
Over the years, it was he, the senior apprentice, who raised those children. In a way, Zhao Zhishan was more like a foster father.
After listening to Zhao Zhishan's words, Nian Wanzhou remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Zhao Zhishan earnestly: "Senior brother, you are truly kind. With you by their side, they will definitely grow up happily!"
No wonder that in the period afterward, Zhao Zhishan was always seen with his child; the rest of the time...
They were barely visible; apparently, they were out taking care of the kids.
Nian Wanzhou never expected that this third senior brother had such a connection to everything. No wonder she always felt a sense of closeness towards him; it turned out he liked children!
From this perspective, he doesn't seem like a bad senior brother.
"Hmm, Junior Sister, you're very well-behaved, not noisy at all. When I first met you, I thought you were some kind of... fierce little monster." Zhao Zhishan said, affectionately ruffling her hair.
Nian Wanzhou couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't expect that, did you? I really can't judge a book by its cover!"
The two smiled at each other, creating a warm atmosphere.
Zhao Zhishan suddenly asked, "Junior Sister, what are your plans?"
"Huh?" Nian Wanzhou was taken aback, then realized what he meant: "Senior brother, are you asking me what I should do in the future?"
Zhao Zhishan nodded.
In fact, he had long recognized his junior sister's talent; if not a genius, she was at least a clever and quick-witted child.
However, Nian Wanzhou has not formally received any guidance, nor has she participated in any assessments. In fact, Nian Wanzhou cannot easily cultivate.
These things piled up together...
We can only wait and see what Nian Wanzhou chooses.
"Me? Actually, I don't have any plans. I just want to keep up with everyone else," Nian Wanzhou said with a smile, not caring much about the matter.
After all, she didn't originally belong to this world; her original intention was simply to eat, drink, and have fun. Although there was a main quest, it wasn't difficult.
Zhao Zhishan thought about it and felt that his junior sister was very open-minded, which was not like the thoughts that should be in her age. Perhaps it was because divine beasts were born different from others.
So he decided to support her: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you. You are my junior sister, and I will always be by your side."
Upon hearing this, Nian Wanzhou felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Her third senior brother was truly a wonderful senior brother.
"Thank you, senior brother~" Nian Wanzhou smiled sweetly and reached out to tug at Zhao Zhishan's clothes.
