Aolai City, a small city located on the coast of the East Sea of Douluo Continent, has a population of just over 100,000 and an area of just over 500 square kilometers. It is an inconspicuous little place under the jurisdiction of the Sun Moon Federation.
Inside the Aolai City Federal Orphanage, a six-year-old boy was sitting on the doorstep, staring blankly at the distant flying birds, not even responding to the orphanage director's call behind him.
"A Yu, what are you looking at? It's time to eat!" Jing Ziyuan, the director of the orphanage, was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a delicate appearance and a kind face. She walked to the boy's side with some helplessness and asked softly.
"Mom, why do birds fly?" The boy turned his face, looked at the director's face, and asked with a pure voice full of curiosity.
"Because birds have wings!" The director, named Jing Ziyuan, smiled slightly when she heard the words, touched the boy's head, and replied.
"Is that so?" A trace of confusion flashed in the boy's clear eyes, and he said, "Then can you fly if you have wings?"
"Yes, you can fly if you have wings!" Jing Ziyuan still replied patiently.
"Then if it's a very, very big car, can it fly if it has wings?" The boy asked relentlessly, the doubt on his small face becoming more and more intense.
"Well, Mom doesn't know about that." Jing Ziyuan smiled helplessly. Faced with the strange questions that the boy would ask from time to time, she really wanted to get angry sometimes, but whenever she saw the boy's pure, curious eyes, she couldn't get angry.
"Okay!" The boy heard the words, and lowered his head in disappointment. For some reason, in the past few months, the boy always had some strange dreams, which made him feel very strange.
"A Yu, if you don't come to eat, Na'er will eat all the food by herself!" At this moment, Lin Xin, the only employee of the orphanage, reminded again.
"No way, Na'er won't eat brother's food too!" A girl who looked a little younger than the boy held up a rice spoon and retorted.
"Okay, A Yu, let's go eat." Jing Ziyuan picked up the boy from the doorstep, put him on the ground, and said.
"Oh oh, eat." The boy stopped thinking about the question just now, and immediately followed Jing Ziyuan to the restaurant, running and shouting, "Na'er, I'm coming!"
The boy's name was Jing Shaoyu, and he was one of only two children in the Aolai City Federal Orphanage.
Why are there only two children in the orphanage? Because this was originally an orphanage to be cut down. If it weren't for Jing Shaoyu, this orphanage would have been cut down six years ago.
Jing Shaoyu, as a meritorious minister who successfully prevented the orphanage from being cut down, was himself picked up by Director Jing Ziyuan on the beach. He was less than one year old when he was picked up, and he only had a cyan-green quilt on his body. Besides that, there was nothing that could prove his identity.
Jing Ziyuan went to the Aolai City Administrative Office to report, but did not find any information about him. Helpless, Jing Ziyuan had to take him back to the Federal Orphanage that was about to be cut down. After waiting for half a year without any news, Jing Ziyuan decided to adopt him and named him Jing Shaoyu.
The Aolai City Federal Orphanage, at Jing Ziyuan's earnest request, although temporarily canceled the decision to cut it down, it only canceled this decision, and other matters did not change.
So, the Aolai City Federal Orphanage, in a sense, is an orphanage specially opened for Jing Shaoyu.
Ahem, it's a bit hellish.
The situation of the orphanage having only one child continued until Jing Shaoyu was four years old. Why? Because Jing Shaoyu picked up a child while playing on the beach, who was Na'er. Na'er was only three years old when Jing Shaoyu picked her up. She seemed to have lost her memory. Apart from her name, she didn't remember anything.
Jing Shaoyu took her back to the orphanage. Jing Ziyuan was very surprised to see Jing Shaoyu bring back a girl. When she learned that the girl was picked up by Jing Shaoyu on the beach, Jing Ziyuan felt speechless. She thought Na'er was a child who got lost from a family in the city, so she took Na'er to the Administrative Office.
The result seemed needless to say. There was also no information or record of Na'er in the Administrative Office. Jing Ziyuan had no choice but to leave Na'er in the orphanage temporarily. This stay lasted for two years.
Arriving at the restaurant, Jing Shaoyu sat down next to Na'er with a thud. Na'er happily handed the chicken leg in her hand to Jing Shaoyu and said spoiled sweetly, "Brother, tonight's chicken leg is also delicious. Try it!"
Na'er is a very delicate-looking little girl with a very rare head of silver short hair, shining brightly in the setting sun. Her eyes are big, and her pupils are like two clear amethyst crystals. Even if there is some distance, it seems that you can see your reflection in her pupils. Her long eyelashes curl upwards naturally. Her skin is fair, and her pinkness seems to be able to squeeze out water with a gentle pinch. She exudes a fresh and light fragrance, and is as cute as a porcelain doll.
"Okay." Jing Shaoyu held Na'er's small hand holding the chicken leg, took a bite where Na'er had eaten, and didn't care that it was still stained with Na'er's saliva. Sure enough, the chicken leg was delicious, and his eyes were also bright, and he said, "Really!"
"Hehe, right? Na'er's taste is the same as brother's!" Na'er was immediately happy when she got Jing Shaoyu's approval.
"Okay, you two, don't be so affectionate, it's not like there's only one chicken leg." Jing Ziyuan sat down at the dining table and said to the two children, "A Yu, don't eat your sister's chicken leg, isn't there one in your bowl too?"
"No, no, I want to eat with Gege!" Hearing Jing Ziyuan's words, Jing Shaoyu hadn't answered yet, but Na'er rushed to object. She hugged Jing Shaoyu's arm and shouted coquettishly.
"This child... really..." Jing Ziyuan was speechless when she heard this, "I don't know what to say."
"Haha, isn't it a good thing that the children have a good relationship?" Aunt Lin Xin said with a smile.
After dinner, Jing Shaoyu played with Na'er in the yard, while Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin cleaned up the dishes.
After the two finished cleaning up the dishes, they brought the two children playing in the yard into the house to wash them up.
"A Yu, Na'er, which of you two wants to take a bath first?" Standing in front of the bathroom, Jing Ziyuan asked the two children.
"I want to take a bath with Gege!" Na'er hugged Jing Shaoyu's arm, looking at Jing Ziyuan pitifully.
"No, Mom can only bathe one child at a time!" Jing Ziyuan refused Na'er's request very decisively, with a stern face, looking like an iron-faced and ruthless person.
"Okay, then Gege will wash first." Na'er compromised, but her big eyes rolled around, obviously plotting something bad.
However, Jing Ziyuan had already seen through her little thoughts. She only found it a little funny and said loudly, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. I'll have Aunt Lin Xin watch you. Don't think about running into the bathroom halfway!"
"Ah!" Na'er's little thoughts were exposed, and she immediately looked like a defeated swan, dejected, and was pulled away by Aunt Lin Xin.
Jing Ziyuan took Jing Shaoyu into the bathroom. Jing Shaoyu took off his clothes by himself and jumped directly into the bathtub filled with water, obediently sitting still, letting Jing Ziyuan help him clean his body.
"A Yu, after you awaken your Martial Soul tomorrow, you can't let Mom bathe you anymore. You have to bathe yourself, understand?" Jing Ziyuan said.
"Yes, I know, Mom." Jing Shaoyu nodded his head, with a look of anticipation on his face, and asked Jing Ziyuan, "Mom, what do you think my Martial Soul will be? Will it be the same as Mom's, Blue Silver Grass?"
There was a hint of anticipation in the boy's voice, but Jing Ziyuan couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard this.
"If that's the case, Mom will be very sad."
"Why?" The boy looked at his mother in confusion.
"Because, Mom hopes A Yu can become a powerful Soul Master. If A Yu's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, then he won't be able to become a powerful Soul Master."
"Why can't the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul become a powerful Soul Master?" Jing Shaoyu didn't understand very well.
Jing Ziyuan didn't know how to explain to this ignorant child, because only those whose Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass understand the difficulty of this Martial Soul, and others can't understand it at all.
"Hehe!" Jing Ziyuan smiled wryly and said nothing.
