Rise of the White Dragon

Oblivious to what was happening to Nora, Luan woke up the next morning with the sun seeming to be warmer than usual.

Using Qi to make the temperature warmer inside the room, he kissed Sleeping Beauty's pretty face and got out of bed.

After going to the bathroom and doing all the necessities, Luan returned naked to the bedroom.

Opening the closet, Luan grabbed a blue button-down shirt, jeans, and the black Giorgio Armani sneakers from the new release and left the room, leaving Ingrid to rest.

"Dad!" As soon as he walked down the hall, he saw the most beautiful creature in the world.

Little Rikka ran towards him with long strides and jumped into his arms.

Kissing her cute little face, he said, "Good morning, Treasure~."

"Good morning, dad, hehee~," She said with a giggle at the end. Her pretty cheeks formed two cute dimples, and her giggle was nicer than the bell that jangled on the door in summer.

"Have your grandparents woken up yet?" Luan carried her in his arms as he walked towards the first floor.

"Yes, Grandma Maira and Grandma Amanda are preparing something for us to eat." She looked delighted when she said that. Not that she was unhappy before, but the only person she had contact with was her mother.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it." Luan smiled at her.

"Me too~" Little Rikka giggled as he smiled.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Luan saw that his mother and mother-in-law were still preparing breakfast, so he went into the living room with Little Rikka.

"Dad, dad, wait here, as soon as I call, you have to come, okay?" Little Rikka looked serious when she said this.

"Okay." Even not knowing what this cute creature was planning, he gladly accepted.

"Hehee~" Giggling as she saw Luan confirm, she ran towards the door.

Seconds later, Luan heard, "Dad, come on."

Luan went and saw her standing in front of the mansion's front door.

Little Rikka fidgeted a bit, fidgeting with the pretty pink dress she was wearing, with a princess hairstyle, her hair being a braided crown with beautiful braids in the back. She was a cute little princess.

Suddenly, she starts choreographing, dancing, and then Little Rikka starts singing: "Since you called me Treasure, I'm here at your door, adopt me, adopt me~."

In the end, she said in the softest, prettiest voice Luan had ever heard a child say, "Dad, adopt me?"

"Heavens!" Luan took her in his arms and covered her with little kisses on her cheek, and then he said with a smile, even with the faintest of tears running down his eyes, "I will adopt you, of course, I will!"

"Hehee~" Little Rikka ended up letting out her classic giggle.

While Luan and Little Rikka were having such a happy time, Catharina was shaking with excitement. She heard Little Rikka ask Luan to wait for her to call him. Catharina wanted to film the whole scene, although she didn't know what would happen... The result was a thousand times better than she expected!

"I need to show this to everyone!" This cute scene shouldn't be forgotten. It was necessary to make several copies and watch it at least once a month, Catharina thought.

Luan and even Little Rikka had noticed Catharina's presence on the stairs but didn't expect her to be filming.

There was no way Luan could be upset about it, and, in fact, he wanted to applaud his sister's quick thinking of filming the entire scene. They even wanted this recorded to watch later.

When everyone woke up and started to eat breakfast, Catharina put the video she recorded for all to see.

Little Rikka wasn't the least bit embarrassed, and she even sang along, "Adopt me, adopt me~."

Everyone laughed in adoration hearing her sing along.

The motherly eyes of the women of the house were fixed on Little Rikka wanting to adopt her. Heavens, she was so cute in the video that they would bet all their chips that even a person who doesn't like children couldn't resist such cuteness.

Luan suddenly said, "Ingrid, let's go to the registry with Little Rikka."

"... Okay." Ingrid smiled. 'Looks like Little Rikka influenced him a lot...' She thought.

Of course, Luan wasn't impartial, so he looked at Lenore and said, "It will be a little weird to do this on earth, but I can bypass the system and register you as my daughter."

"It is not necessary." Despite being a little cold, Lenore smiled a little, "Mom already registered me as her daughter, look."

She passed him an ID, but it was different from what exists on earth. This was something technological, and when he clicked on Luan's digitized name, his holographic image appeared right above the card.

This greatly surprised those around the table. That's because a more mature-looking Luan appeared in holographic form, taking everyone by surprise.

Some features were a little different, as it was the nearly thousand-year-old Luan.

Maira shivered a little. She felt like crying for some reason. But she eventually managed to contain herself.

Ingrid's eyes sparkled as she thought of Nora. 'No wonder that even after so many centuries, she still loves Luan.'

Luan's aura could be felt by the hologram, and it was strong, full of virtue, even heroic, giving a sense of security just by looking at him.

Ingrid started to sympathize with Nora, but that doesn't mean she was willing to give up on Luan!

Shaking her head, Ingrid stopped thinking about Nora.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching a movie, Little Rikka was sitting on Ingrid's lap, with Luan on their left side, and then Little Rikka leaned towards him and muttered, "Dad, thanks for yesterday."

"You're welcome." Luan gently rubbed her head so as not to spoil her hairdo. He understood right away that she was speaking about stopping the attack she had launched, preventing her from killing those on the floating ship.

Little Rikka closed her eyes as she enjoyed the affection she received from Luan.
