Mu Feiyang Prepares for "Closed-door Cultivation"

"Alright!"

"Then don't you have an approximate time for this upgrade? What will happen to my daughter if I fall into slumber?"

[Host, please rest assured. Although the system upgrade time cannot be determined, it won't take too long. If there are no accidents, it will take at most one year.]

[Moreover, Host, your daughter is already five years old. She can go into the mountains to fight demonic beasts. What are you worried about!]

[Besides, Host, don't you have so many animals accompanying you here? And isn't there a Teacher helping to look after her!]

"Daddy, I'm hungry."

Just as Mu Feiyang was about to agree, the door was suddenly pushed open and a porcelain doll rushed in, throwing herself into Mu Feiyang's arms.

The little girl had a round face and a pair of bright, black eyes full of wisdom. Two high ponytails were tied on her head.

"Ling'er is hungry! Then, Daddy will make Ling'er something delicious, okay?"

Seeing his daughter enter, Mu Feiyang had to put the system aside for now and prepare to make breakfast for his daughter, and by the way, tell her about his upcoming closed-door cultivation.

Mu Feiyang could only use his upcoming closed-door cultivation as an excuse to entrust his daughter to the Teacher's care. The Teacher was someone Mu Feiyang had hired to teach his daughter knowledge.

"Mhm!"

Ling'er responded in a childish voice and left Mu Feiyang's embrace, while Mu Feiyang went to make breakfast for his daughter.

While Mu Feiyang was making breakfast, Mu Qingling left the room and came to a peach tree in the courtyard. She tilted her head up, looking at the red peaches on the tree, and her mouth watered.

"Peaches, peaches, come down quickly. Ling'er wants to eat peaches."

As soon as Mu Qingling's voice fell, a magical scene occurred. The peaches that were still hanging on the peach tree began to fall one by one and float in front of Mu Qingling.

Roughly, there were more than ten, but the number of peaches on the tree didn't seem to decrease. Mu Qingling wasn't surprised by this scene; instead, she giggled and collected all the peaches.

Then, she skipped back, holding a large peach and eating it. A large black dog followed behind Mu Qingling.

"Little Black, Little Black, do you want to eat peaches too?"

When Mu Qingling returned to the doorway, she glanced back at the black dog. Her childish voice came out of her mouth.

Woof... Woof woof!

The black dog barked twice, its tail wagging furiously, and a trace of crystal clear liquid seemed to drip from its mouth.

"Hehe, I'm not giving it to you."

Mu Qingling held the peach in her hand and brought it in front of the black dog, letting it smell it. Then, she turned and entered the house, giggling all the way.

Hee hee...

After Mu Qingling went inside, a clucking sound suddenly came from a chicken, as if it were mocking the black dog for being tricked.

Upon hearing the chicken's clucking, the black dog's face flashed with a hint of human-like anger. It then walked to the chicken coop.

Woof woof woof... (Old Hen, Grandpa Black is treating you to breakfast.)

After barking, the black dog turned around, its rear facing the hen in the coop, and a pale yellow gas drifted out.

Cluck cluck cluck... (Black Dog, I'm going to kill you.)

Then, the hen in the coop rushed out and pounced at the black dog, which had already fled. A scene of chickens and dogs chasing each other ensued in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, in the dining room, Mu Qingling was heartily eating the rich breakfast prepared by Mu Feiyang, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"Daddy, can we go find Mommy after we finish breakfast?"

Just as Mu Feiyang was about to tell his daughter about his closed-door cultivation, Mu Qingling stopped eating and looked up at Mu Feiyang with her small head, asking.

This wasn't the first time Mu Qingling had asked. She had started looking for her mother when she was three years old because the Teacher had told her that everyone had parents.

However, Mu Feiyang had always refused with various excuses. Moreover, Mu Qingling hadn't asked this question for about half a year.

She didn't know why, but she was suddenly asking again now, which made Mu Feiyang a little depressed.

"Be good, Ling'er. Daddy needs to go into closed-door cultivation for a while. When Daddy comes out, I'll take Ling'er to find Mommy, okay?"

"Really?"

Hearing that Mu Feiyang had agreed to look for her mother, Mu Qingling's small face was filled with a happy smile, because this time Mu Feiyang hadn't found any other excuse to refuse.

"Of course, how could Daddy lie to his precious daughter!"

"But while Daddy is in seclusion, Ling'er must listen to Teacher, okay!"

"Mhm!"

"Ling'er is so good. Hurry up and eat, Ling'er. Daddy is going to find Teacher."

"Okay!"

Mu Feiyang got up and left the dining room to find the Teacher and arrange some matters before he would go into seclusion.

After Mu Feiyang left, Mu Qingling's small eyes darted around. It seemed she had thought of something happy, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph!"

"Stinky Daddy actually wants to trick Ling'er. Ling'er is no longer a three-year-old child. When stinky Daddy goes into seclusion, I'll go find Mommy myself."

Mu Qingling muttered to herself, then quickly finished the breakfast on the table, as if looking forward to her stinky Daddy going into seclusion soon.

On the other side, Mu Feiyang arrived at another part of the courtyard, where a room stood. Inside lived Mu Qingling's teacher.

"Greetings, Master!"

The middle-aged man, who had been meditating, quickly knelt upon seeing Mu Feiyang enter and bowed to him.

"Get up!"

"I will be going into closed-door cultivation to break through my cultivation soon. I'm not sure how long it will take. While I'm in seclusion, I'll need to trouble you to look after Ling'er."

"Master, please rest assured. I will definitely take good care of the Little Master and will absolutely not let anything happen to her."

The middle-aged man was shocked upon hearing Mu Feiyang's words. As far as he knew, Mu Feiyang was already at the Heavenly Venerate realm. If he was going into closed-door cultivation to break through now, wouldn't that mean he was aiming for the God realm?

Despite his surprise, the middle-aged man quickly assured Mu Feiyang. This was a crucial task, and he had to give it his all.

"Good, that puts my mind at ease."

Mu Feiyang nodded. With the middle-aged man's assurance, Mu Feiyang finally felt relieved. This man was someone Mu Feiyang had captured from the Immortal Spirit Realm, rumored to be a prophet from there.

The middle-aged man's name was Liu Wenjun, a somewhat feminine name. It was said that he knew everything about the heavens and earth, a prophet revered by everyone in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

Mu Feiyang had spent a long time searching for information about Liu Wenjun so that his daughter could learn more. After a period of "friendly" exchange, Mu Feiyang finally managed to invite Liu Wenjun back.

Mu Feiyang hadn't lied to his daughter about what he had promised her earlier. This was because he had already heard news of Mu Qianxue while in the Immortal Spirit Realm. However, for some unknown reason, Mu Qianxue had suddenly disappeared again.

At that time, Mu Feiyang had been worried about his daughter and hadn't investigated further. Now that his daughter mentioned it again, Mu Feiyang agreed to her request.
