"Ah..."

Early this morning, Liu Rumei let out two continuous screams. The first time was because after she woke up, Ye Tianchen told her it was almost twelve o’clock. For so many years, Liu Rumei had been managing the Sea King Group, staying up late and waking up early every day. She had never slept until almost noon like today. Actually, it was Ye Tianchen’s doing. He deliberately used a simple Martial Arts Divine Skill to ensure Liu Rumei slept soundly, wanting her to relax mentally and get a thorough rest.

As for the reason for the second scream, it happened just as Liu Rumei walked into the bathroom. She screamed again and ran out, looking at Ye Tianchen and said, "This... this... how is there a black child in there?"

"Hmm? That little guy... hehe, I just picked him up when I was walking outside earlier. He looked pitiful, so I brought him back!" Ye Tianchen turned to look at Little Black Bear and found the little rascal missing, which made him realize why Liu Rumei screamed. This little black bear was indeed quite mischievous.

"No, no way, you picked him up? His parents must be very worried, better send him back or call the police!" Liu Rumei said anxiously as she realized.

"No need, this little guy is an orphan. He clung to me no matter what, and seeing how pitiful he was, I brought him back. Consider him my godson!" Ye Tianchen glared at Little Black Bear as he spoke. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"This... isn’t it not good? Can he really follow you? Besides, his parents must be so anxious!" Liu Rumei’s compassion and maternal instinct overflowed, and she crouched down to look at Little Black Bear gently.

"You can ask him yourself..." Ye Tianchen said to Little Black Bear without much good humor.

Little Black Bear turned his head away from Liu Rumei, made a funny face at Ye Tianchen, very smugly. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but mutter in his heart that this little black bear wasn’t simple. This little brat couldn’t be underestimated, or who knows what kind of trouble he might get into in the future!

"Little friend, what’s your name?" Liu Rumei asked gently.

"Sister, my name is... Handsome Bear!" Little Black Bear was stunned for a moment and then spoke naturally.

"Handsome Bear? The Chinese do have this surname, but are you just called Handsome Bear?" Liu Rumei was a bit puzzled and asked.

"Uh-huh, my parents want me to be as strong as a bear!" Little Black Bear purposely flexed his muscles as he spoke, making Liu Rumei laugh sweetly. In her eyes, this chubby, dark-skinned little boy of about three years old was truly adorable.

"Then where are your parents? How are you alone on this mountain?" Liu Rumei asked with concern.

"I... my parents are gone. I was kidnapped and sold here. I was beaten every day and just managed to escape, boo hoo..." As Little Black Bear spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Ye Tianchen rolled his eyes at Little Black Bear, finding it hard to watch, and said with some exasperation, "A child without parents can’t just be sent back to his current home. So, let’s call the police, send him to a nursery, or let the police handle it!"

"No, don’t, sister, they’ll beat me. The police will still return me to these parents, and they’ll beat me every day, force me to work. You see why I’m so dark? It’s because of the sun. They made me beg outside for money..." Little Black Bear spoke pitifully, and even he almost believed himself, with tears welling up in his big eyes!

Ye Tianchen genuinely admired Little Black Bear’s acting skills. He had no idea the little rascal was so clever to come up with an excuse so quickly and weave a story like a lost child, kidnapped and sold to another family, mistreated every day. If Ye Tianchen didn’t know the truth, he might also feel sympathy.

"But, we really can’t take you with us. This little bear is a burden!" Ye Tianchen continued disdainfully.

"Hey, I say, how can you be like this with no sympathy at all? A child without parents is already so pitiful. And if he was sold here by traffickers, mistreated by his current parents, he must have had enough and ran away. If he’s returned, who knows how he might be beaten!" Liu Rumei glared at Ye Tianchen and said unkindly.

"So what do you propose we do?" Ye Tianchen asked, deliberately glancing at Liu Rumei.

"From now on, he’s my godson. I’ll take care of him!" Liu Rumei said lovingly as she cradled the Little Black Bear in her arms.

"I also wanted to make him my godson, but look at how dark he is. How does he look even a bit like our godson?" Ye Tianchen shot a stern look at the Little Black Bear.

"Wahhh... Sister, this uncle is discriminating against me. I got tanned from the sun!" the Little Black Bear whimpered and started to cry.

"Alright, alright, don’t cry. From now on, I’m your sister. You’ll be with me and you’ll never be in such a sorry state again!" Liu Rumei said, smiling.

"Then I’ll leave this matter to you. You better keep an eye on this bear cub. He’s quite the rascal!" Ye Tianchen said.

"I get it. You shouldn’t discriminate against him like that in the future. Come on, sis will wash your face and brush your teeth!" Liu Rumei said, smiling, as she pinched the Little Black Bear’s cheek.

The Little Black Bear chuckled and made a face at Ye Tianchen, then followed Liu Rumei into the bathroom. Ye Tianchen was genuinely a bit surprised; the Little Black Bear was quite clever and had pretty good acting skills too. To be honest, Ye Tianchen naturally wanted people around him to accept the Little Black Bear without any suspicions, otherwise, he’d have to spend so much time explaining and dealing with all sorts of troubles. If Liu Rumei, his parents, and his sister all naturally accepted the Little Black Bear, he wouldn’t have to worry so much about it and wouldn’t need to take the Little Black Bear everywhere with him all the time!

Ye Tianchen looked at the sun shining brightly outside. He couldn’t really study the Cheng Ying Sword right now, and could only ponder in his heart. Of the ten Ancient Divine Swords, he had already obtained four. Would there be greater gains if he were to study them properly? Or perhaps could he refine these four Divine Swords into a world-shaking ’Zhu Xian’ Sword Array like the Tongtian Sect Master "Yi Tongtian" did back in the day?

However, thinking about the Cheng Ying Sword, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think of Elder Bai Yi, an elder who had seen through life and death and everything in between, someone Ye Tianchen respected and admired. Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that at the last moment, Elder Bai Yi not only helped them break through the Divine Rune Light Net but also gifted him the Cheng Ying Sword. However, Elder Bai Yi had passed away, and everything in the abyss below had vanished. Ye Tianchen could feel it, and the only thing he could do was to take good care of the Little Black Bear, to give peace to Elder Bai Yi’s spirit in the afterlife. When entrusted by someone, one should be loyal to that person’s cause!

Before long, the Little Black Bear trotted out of the bathroom, scampered over to Ye Tianchen, and glanced at Liu Rumei who was still inside. The Little Black Bear then mischievously said, "How about that? Aren’t I smart?"

"You better behave. If you scare normal people, you’ll be in for it!" Ye Tianchen said with a harsh tone.

"Hehe, now that I have such a beautiful big sister protecting me, it’s not so easy for you to deal with me anymore!" the Little Black Bear said smugly.

"Openly, I can’t deal with you, but with my power, can you resist me now? If you defy me, I’ll quietly plant a talisman of confinement in your body, and transforming will be difficult for you!" Ye Tianchen sneered.

"You... you’re bullying the weak, despicable and shameless!" the Little Black Bear muttered through clenched teeth.

"Don’t worry, if you dare to cause trouble for me, I will definitely do it, no doubt!" Ye Tianchen said calmly.

The Little Black Bear glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen and then grumbled, "Just you wait, one day I’ll show you what I’m made of!"

Ye Tianchen said nothing. This Little Black Bear had to be disciplined; it was a demon beast by nature with a strong vicious aura, what people in the Mortal World would call wild nature. The only person it truly respected and obeyed was Elder Bai Yi, but now that the Little Black Bear was out with him, it might be okay in the Ancient Martial World, but here on Earth’s Mortal World, surrounded by ordinary mortals, if it disobeyed and revealed its true body, it might frighten a lot of people to death. This was something Ye Tianchen would not allow to happen. Moreover, with the Little Black Bear following him, if it really showed its true body, perhaps the first ones to get terribly scared would be his parents and sister. Naturally, Ye Tianchen had to keep it under control, giving it a knock every now and then to curb the Little Black Bear’s vicious nature.

At that moment, Liu Rumei came out of the bathroom, applying some product on her face and hands, and she looked at the Little Black Bear and said, "Little bear, come here quickly, let big sis apply some whitening sunscreen on you. This way, you’ll soon be nice and fair, no more looking so dark!"

Hearing Liu Rumei’s words, the Little Black Bear instantly looked like a wilting eggplant, utterly depressed. You had to know, it was a Black Bear by nature, and no amount of whitening sunscreen was going to change that. Yet Liu Rumei insisted on applying sunscreen, leaving the Little Black Bear unable to refuse, feeling utterly helpless and miserable, like eating a bitter herb with no one to complain to!

"Hahaha, even if you apply a whole box of sunscreen, it won’t become white!" Ye Tianchen laughed so hard as he said. (To be continued.
