Who Should I Use It On? Me? [Humbly Asking for Follows, Please Vote]

"Come, Papa will teach Niannian. Niannian, read along with Papa, okay?"

"Mm-hmm."

In front of the stone table at Twin Pearl Peak, Jiang Lin sat on a stone bench with the Little Dragon Girl, now named Jiang Niannian, in his arms. Niannian's little tail swayed back and forth in his embrace, while her bright, limpid eyes were earnestly adorable.

That was right—the Little Dragon Girl had been named Jiang Niannian.

At first, Jiang Lin had planned to name her Jiang Nian Papa or Jiang Xi Papa, so that if one day the little girl in his arms wanted to kill him with a Dragon Breath, she would remember how good her papa had been.

But after thinking it over carefully, he realized that although those names were nice, they also carried hidden dangers.

Just look at "Papa Nian" and "Xi Papa." What if one day the Little Dragon Girl remembered that her biological father was the one she had killed in one of her countless previous lives? Wouldn't those names only strengthen her resolve to blast him to death with a Dragon Breath?

So he had settled on Jiang Niannian. It was a good name: it didn't carry any particular implication, yet it subtly reminded the Little Dragon Girl not to forget the kindness of the person who had raised her from infancy, feeding her one handful of shit and one splash of piss at a time.

Even if she killed him, killing him once or twice would be enough. There was no need to kill him over a thousand times. That would be exhausting, wouldn't it?

Now, Jiang Lin was displaying his gentle side even more, trying to get along well with Little Niannian and teach her to become a well-rounded girl who wouldn't remain shackled by past grudges, but would strive to look ahead!

The book in Little Niannian's hands was a collection of poems from Jiang Lin's previous life, which he had spent an entire hour copying out himself. He had named it—Do Not Forget Kindness...

"Before the hills and behind the hills, all is green grass... All day I leave the house, then return to close the door..."

"Before the hills and behind the hills, all is green grass... All day I leave the house, then return to close the door..."

"Whenever I think of my flesh and blood beneath the distant sky... I come to see the country elder, who pities his grandchildren..."

"Whenever I think of my flesh and blood beneath the distant sky... I come to see the country elder, who pities his grandchildren..."

"Papa, what does this poem mean?"

"It means that an old man lives alone in an empty home, unable to bear the loneliness. Missing his family, he has no choice but to go out every day and visit the countryside to see how other old people enjoy the happiness of family life. It also tells Little Niannian that you must treat Papa well in the future, okay? When Papa grows old, don't leave Papa all alone."

"You won't be alone, Papa. Niannian will always stay with you."

The Little Dragon Girl turned her little head, her expression extremely serious.

Looking into Little Niannian's eyes, Jiang Lin's heart grew warm. Having a daughter really was wonderful... although this girl might very well spit him to death...

"Mm, Little Niannian is the best. Come, let's keep reading."

"Threads in a loving mother's hands... Sewn into the clothes of a wandering son..."

"Threads in a loving mother's hands... Sewn into the clothes of a wandering son..."

"Mm, very good. Keep going. 'Before he leaves, she stitches every seam with care, fearing his return may be delayed...'"

"Before he leaves... she stitches every seam with care... fearing..."

Jiang Lin recited one line, and Little Niannian recited the next. On Twin Pearl Peak, where only the two of them were present, Jiang Lin's slightly lecherous voice and Little Niannian's pure, sweet, milky voice drifted slowly through the air, accompanied by the repeated cries of cranes and the sound of some fellow on the neighboring peak apparently hammering a tree because his cultivation practice wasn't going well...

When the poem was finished, Little Niannian turned around in Jiang Lin's arms and looked at her papa. "Papa, what does this poem mean?"

"It means Little Niannian needs to know the kindness of her mother. No matter where Little Niannian goes, her mother will always watch over her. Of course, Papa will do the same."

"Mm..." Little Niannian lowered her little head, and her chubby tail drooped as well.

"What's wrong?"

"Papa, I miss Mama."

"..."

"Um... Little Niannian, listen to Papa." Jiang Lin slipped his hands beneath Little Niannian's armpits and turned the little girl around to sit on his thigh. "Actually, Little Niannian, they aren't your mamas. And if you call them Mama, they might get angry."

The Little Dragon Girl blinked her limpid eyes. "Why aren't they Niannian's mamas? Why would the mamas get angry? Is Niannian being naughty?"

"No, no. It's mainly Papa's problem... Um... how should I put it? It's a little difficult to explain... You'll understand when you're a little older."

"Oh... Niannian understands."

"Mm?"

The Little Dragon Girl stood on Jiang Lin's thigh with her hands on her hips, pointing at him with both her little tail and her little finger. "Is it because Papa likes another girl, so the mamas got angry?"

"??? Niannian, you can't say things like that carelessly."

"Niannian isn't saying it carelessly. Whenever Papa looks at that big sister, his eyes always drift downward without him realizing it. Papa must be having naughty thoughts!"

"..."

"But Papa, it's okay. As long as Papa admits his mistake to the mamas, they'll definitely forgive Papa." Little Niannian gently pulled Jiang Lin's hand into her arms. Her pair of innocent eyes made Jiang Lin's sense of guilt suddenly explode for some reason...

"Niannian, who taught you all this?"

"It was Big Sister Fang Ruo who told Niannian."

"Fang Ruo!"

Jiang Lin's forehead twitched. He had merely gone to Fang Chaoqun's place to discuss something and asked her to look after Niannian for an hour. How had she managed to teach a child all this nonsense?

"Niannian, let's not talk about this for now. How about we go for a stroll? Papa will buy you Sugar-coated Haws."

"Mm-hmm, Papa is the best."

Hearing that she would get to eat Sugar-coated Haws, Little Niannian's eyes lit up at once, like freshly polished gemstones.

"Alright, let's go."

Having successfully changed the subject, Jiang Lin didn't waste any time. He immediately used Spiritual Energy Horse and arrived at the central town of the Sun Moon Sect. He happened to need to inquire about the situation with the Dugu Demonic Sect anyway. After all, he still had to complete that long-term system quest.

Besides, if he wiped out the Dugu Demonic Sect, Miss Xiao would certainly be grateful to him. That way, not only would he complete his system quest, but Miss Xiao would also owe him a favor. If Miss Xiao really wanted to kill him, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it anymore, right? It would be killing two birds with one stone.

It was Little Niannian's first time visiting the bustling market in the center of the Sun Moon Sect, and happy light shone from her eyes.

"Old Wang, give me some Sugar-coated Haws. Don't put poison in them, alright? They're for the child."

"Yo? A child?" The man addressed as Old Wang glanced at the pink, tender little girl in Jiang Lin's arms. "Kid, you've got some range. I thought you only had a heavy taste for monkey demons, but I didn't expect you to be able to go for dragonkin too!"

"Get lost!"

Jiang Lin took the Sugar-coated Haws from Old Wang, gave him a Low-Grade Spirit Stone, tried one to make sure it was fine, and then handed it to Little Niannian.

As they continued toward the Intelligence Hall, familiar faces began crowding around them one after another.

"Old Jiang, I want to buy a dudou!"

"Buy what? Can't you see I'm carrying a child? Honestly... Come find me tonight."

"Old Jiang, your master bought a bottle of Spring Breeze Leaves No Trace from me. Don't try to buy it on credit."

"Get lost! Would my master buy something like that? Who would he use it on? Me?"

"Old Jiang! Going out to fake an accident tonight?"

"No. After resting for two days, I'm going out on a mission."

"Brother Jiang! This is bad! Something terrible has happened?!"

Just as Jiang Lin was turning down one person after another, Fang Chaoqun came running over, panting heavily.

"Brother Fang, why are you in such a hurry? Oh, right, someone wants to buy a dudou. Same place as usual for the handoff..."

"No, Brother Jiang!"

"Then what is it?"

"Those people! Those sects have come looking for you to challenge you one-on-one..."

"Huh?"
