The siblings anxiously looked toward Lyla, who was sitting nearby with closed eyes.
Winnie asked, “Aunt Lyla, where did you find a powerhouse like him from? Please let him teach us. I’ll get you the most delicious jerky! A lot of them!”
Noel also pleaded, “Please, Aunty Lyla. Next time you quarrel with Aunt Rebella, I’ll side with you.”
James almost failed to suppress his laughter, finding it funny his children were so playful with Lyla even though they had been so afraid of her a few moments ago.
It seemed Lyla’s teachings toward them were not only strict but also filled with love. It was why they could act so carefreely with her.
Lyla slowly opened her eyes and said, “Really?”
“Of course!” Noel and Winnie nodded simultaneously.
James was rendered speechless, surprised Lyla, the epitome of coldness, was so easily bribed.
Lyla immediately leaped into the air, and stopped beside James, saying, “Give them some guidance. It hasn’t been easy for them.”
Noel and Winnie looked at James with anticipation and nodded, seemingly unwilling to budge if he were to refuse.
James feigned a sigh and said smilingly, “You two have a significant issue. I’m afraid my guidance might not suffice.”
“Why? What have we done wrong?” Noel hurriedly inquired.
Winnie chimed in, saying, “Please help us, Sir. We’ll make the necessary changes.”
“Change?” James smiled and countered, “Can you change your mindset and half-heartedness?”
Noel and Winnie had believed they were strong enough, particularly in terms of cultivation.
They viewed themselves as superior to Jacopo and Xainte. They could not understand why their other two siblings were allowed to venture into the Genesis Worlds, while they were stuck inside the Forladtt Land killing remnant souls.
After James pointed out their ignorance, Noel and Winnie suddenly realized the depth of their misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, Lyla observed from the side and keenly understood James’ intentions.
Although James had just returned, he immediately discerned the discontent within the siblings. He noted that although they diligently eliminated the remnant souls at the outer battlefield’s fourth level, they were doing it reluctantly. They exhibited no growth in combat experience or magical prowess despite reaching the Quasi Daeclon Rank. Compared to Jacopo and Xainte, their progress was superficial and lagged significantly.
He was their father but was using a different identity to point out their flaws. He wanted to dismantle their overconfidence in their cultivation and guide them back to their roots, which would enable them to diligently practice their Supernatural Powers.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
