Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone was enlightened. Ling Lan just asked them questions. She didn’t promise them that she would let them go.

“Despicable, shameless.” The middle-aged men broke down when they knew that they were about to die.

Ling Lan looked at them with pity. She truly didn’t want to kill so many people. However, these people saw her face. If they just did some research, they would figure out her identity. Her father worked so hard to keep her gender a secret. If he knew that she had other secrets, he might grow more white hair.

In order to make things easier for her father, Ling Lan decided to kill these people.

These people were assassins. They would do anything for money. Ling Lan would feel no guilt killing them.

The noisy room became silent again. These people would never be able to open their mouth again. All of them turned into ice statues. They still wore an angry expression with their mouths wide open...

“Boom.” The ice statues exploded into ice crystals and disappeared in the air. No trace was left behind. It was as though these people never existed.

The young man was shocked when he saw this scene. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still frightened when he saw his comrades disappearing like that.

Ling Lan looked at the young man indifferently. She seemed to be considering what to do with this person.

Ling Lan had a good impression of this young man. At least he was not someone who would betray his organization to live.

Those secrets might not be important in the eyes of these people. They might only be scolded when they went back to their society. Hence, it was reasonable that they would choose to betray their organization to gain a chance to live. But, Ling Lan felt that no matter how important the information was, betraying was still betraying.

This young man was a loyal person. That was the reason why she left him alive. Ling Lan liked people who were loyal.

“Are there any poisons which only I have the antidote for?” Ling Lan asked Little Four in her mindscape.

Little Four pondered about the question seriously. “You can ask Li Shiyu to invent a poison.” With Li Shiyu’s ability, it should be easy for him to concoct an incurable poison. “However, it would be difficult to be the only person with the antidote.”

With how advanced technology in this era was, it was easy to create more than one specific antidote for a poison.

“I can only kill this young man then.” Ling Lan sighed. She realized that she became more vicious. Even when she was deciding whether someone should live, she was calm. She was moving away from the person who used to lie on a hospital bed all the time.

Little Four suddenly thought of something. His eyes twinkled. He asked, “Boss, do you really want to keep this person alive? Are you not afraid that he would betray you?”

“Yes, I want him alive. But, I can’t make sure that he will not betray us.”

“Actually... it might be possible,” Little Four replied.

Ling Lan narrowed her eyes when she heard what he said. “Little Four, did you keep something from me?”

Little Four shrunk back a little when he heard the threatening tone. He lowered his head and said meekly, “There is something...”

“What is that something?” Ling Lan was curious. She knew that Little Four did many things behind her back but since he never hindered her business, she would just let him off.

Ling Lan knew that Little Four was lonely. The 10 instructors in the learning space wouldn’t chat with him and she couldn’t accompany him all the time. She had her parents, her friends, and her own life. Ling Lan hoped that Little Four could have his own hobbies when he was alone to remain happy.

Thus, Ling Lan was not angry when she heard what Little Four said. But, in order to prevent Little Four from getting too overboard in the future, she still pretended to angry.

Little Four already had the intention to tell Ling Lan about Little Blossom. Hence, he told Ling Lan everything what she asked.

Ling Lan’s mouth twitched when she heard the nickname. Little Blossom? How did Little Four manage to come up with such a mundane name? She felt sympathy for this flower that had to live with such a name.

“Little Blossom is going to wake up soon. Boss, hurry up and follow me.” Little Four grabbed Ling Lan’s hand excitedly and transported her to a dark room.

Ling Lan immediately saw a pretty baby around three years old floating in the air. There were silver threads all around his body. She could feel the energy on these silver threads being transmitted to the baby.

The baby felt a human presence so he started opening its eyes slowly.

While Ling Lan was looking at the baby intently, she was caught off her guard when Little Four suddenly pushed her forward. She almost bumped into the baby but she managed to stop herself in time. Her face was very near the baby’s face.

Ling Lan looked at the watery and clear eyes in front of her. It was pure. This was what a baby’s eyes should be like. Innocent, clean, and pure.

Her face reflected in the baby’s eyes. He seemed to remembering and confirming something...

“Master!” The baby opened his mouth. Ling Lan frowned when she heard the term. She knew that Little Four must be behind this. “Little Four, come out!”

Little Four came out from the dark. He smiled and said, “Boss, Little Blossom would recognize the first person he sees as his master.”

“You arranged this?” Ling Lan believed that Little Four did something to this baby.

However, his reply surprised her. “No. intelligent entities like us followed one rule. If the first thing we see when we open our eyes is a human, that human becomes our master. If the first thing we see is an object, we will evolve based on that object.”

Little Four’s explanation was not detailed because he didn’t know much too. This was a restriction that happened naturally. It might exist to prevent the intelligent entities from becoming too powerful.

Ling Lan pondered over his words. She glanced at Little Four and asked, “When you woke up, I was the first person that you saw?”

Little Four tried to recall. “I think so. In my memory, you are my master.”

While Ling Lan and Little Four were talking, Little Blossom looked at them with a puzzled expression. He was thinking why his master wasn’t talking to him.

“Master?” Little Blossom didn’t like Little Four.

Ling Lan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the delicate voice. She looked over.

Little Blossom was elated when he saw his master had his attention on him. He said respectfully, “Please give me a name.” Ever since he saw Ling Lan, he couldn’t help but like her.

Little Blossom didn’t know that he had been named by Little Four already. He looked at Ling Lan with anticipation.

Before Ling Lan could speak, Little Four got agitated. He grabbed Ling Lan’s hand and said seriously, “Boss, he is called Little Blossom!” He was willing to give up Little Blossom but he must keep the name. This was the only right he had left.

Ling Lan felt helpless. She didn’t like this name. The baby was so cute. How could he have such a mundane name? She felt pity for Little Blossom... why was she calling him Little Blossom? Seemed like Little Four had brainwashed her.

“Little Blossom,” Little Four shouted firmly when he saw Ling Lan hesitating.

“Okay, you will be called Little Blossom.” Ling Lan looked at Little Blossom apologetically. Little Four was an important family member to her. She didn’t want to reject Little Four and hurt him. So, she relented. However, Ling Lan still felt bad for Little Blossom. She decided to treat Little Blossom better in the future to compensate him.

“Little Blossom, you will be named Little Blossom from now on.” Little Four jumped in front of Little Blossom happily.

“Little Blossom, my name?” Little Blossom looked at Ling Lan.

“Yes, your name will be Little Blossom. He is Little Four. You two will be brothers from now on. You two must take care of each other.” Ling Lan pointed at Little Four and introduced him to Little Blossom.

Little Blossom didn’t know how bad this name was. As a newborn, getting a name meant that he had been acknowledged. Little Blossom was happy that he had been acknowledged.

He cut the silver threads around him and came in front of Ling Lan. He said seriously, “Little Blossom is elated. Little Blossom understand. Little Blossom will take care of Little Four.”

Little Four hit Little Blossom head. Little Blossom was flabbergasted as he didn’t know why Little Four hit him.

“You cannot call me Little Four. You must call me Elder Brother Four,” Little Four said proudly.

“Elder Brother Four?” Ling Lan snorted.

Little Four immediately became sad. He looked like a deflated balloon. He said, “How about Little Brother Four?”

Little Blossom looked at Ling Lan. He was awaiting Ling Lan’s order. Ling Lan nodded. “He is older than you. You should call him Little Brother Four.”

Little Blossom received the order and called obediently, “Little Brother Four!”

Little Four was so delighted that he did a somersault in the air. He finally had a younger brother! It felt so good!

Ling Lan looked at the excited Little Four and then looked at the puzzled Little Blossom. She smiled. With Little Blossom around, Little Four might not be so lonely anymore. Only an intelligent entity would know what other intelligent entities needed. She didn’t feel so speechless anymore.

However. Ling Lan couldn’t let Little Four be excited for too long. She grabbed Little Four and asked, “Shouldn’t you explain how can Little Blossom help me control the young man? Can he make poison?”

Little Four didn’t mind being lifted up by Ling Lan. He smiled. “You are right. Little Blossom can make poison. However, his poison would not harm a person’s body. It would just harm the person’s spiritual power.”

Ling Lan’s eyes lit up. “Spiritual power? How?”

“Boss, you should know that the Doomsday Flower could destroy the virtual world. The reason why it was feared by humans and intelligent entities is because it consumes a human’s spiritual power as well as intelligent entities.” Little Four shivered in fear.

Ling Lan looked at Little Blossom in surprised. Little Blossom didn’t know that Little Four was talking about him. She didn’t expect such a cute and naive baby to be so frightening. Her expression changed. “Will he consume my spiritual power?” If he would, it would be like raising a devil inside of her.

“No.” Little Four rolled his eyes at his boss. How could he put his boss at risk? “Once entities like us recognize a master, we will be unable to harm him or her. Hence, Little Blossom would be unable to harm you and the things related to you... for instance, he would be unable to harm me or any other entities in your mindscape.”
