This Daughter Was Outrageous

Ye Zi's voice carried a hint of panic as she quickly brought the baby girl to Xu Bai, somewhat at a loss.

Xu Bai was speaking quietly to Chu Ling when he suddenly heard Ye Zi's panicked voice and turned his gaze to the baby girl in Ye Zi's arms.

When he saw the baby girl in his arms, he could no longer sit still. He stood up, took the baby girl in his hands, and examined her carefully.

At this moment, the baby girl still looked normal, her dark eyes staring at Xu Bai, without any other abnormal changes.

But everyone present was an expert in the field, and a master at that. Xu Bai was even a master who had reached sainthood, so of course he could see the subtleties.

Compared to when the baby girl was just born, she has actually grown a bit in just a short time.

Although it's not very obvious, you can see it if you look closely.

Even more outrageous is that the baby girl is growing at a very slow pace.

Chu Ling also noticed this situation. Ignoring her physical discomfort, she forced herself to get up and said, "Husband, please take a look at me."

The baby girl grew up in her womb; she was the apple of her eye. Now that something was wrong, she was more panicked than anyone else.

Xu Bai quickly reassured Chu Ling: "Don't panic, let me see what's going on."

As he spoke, he transferred his True Yuan Power to the baby girl and examined her carefully.

"?"

It would have been better if they hadn't investigated. After a little investigation, Xu Bai's face was filled with question marks.

As he probed with his True Yuan Power, he discovered that the baby girl was like a black hole, devouring his True Yuan Power at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, as the rate of this absorption increased, the baby girl grew even faster.

She was born not long ago, but now she looks like she's several months old.

"Ye Zi, go and look through some clothes, try to find something a bit bigger." Seeing that she was moving quickly, Xu Bai told Ye Zi to go find some clothes.

Ye Zi quickly agreed and hurriedly went out. Before long, she returned carrying a huge box filled with clothes.

From infancy to adulthood, they have had clothes made for all the children from infancy to adulthood. Although the quantity is not large, there are some for each age group.

"Husband, how come you've grown so much?"

Ye Zi couldn't help but rub her eyes. In the short time she had been gone, the baby girl had grown to the size of a three-year-old child. Xu Bai had placed her on the ground, and she was pulling on Xu Bai, crying loudly.

Xu Bai said, "Help her put on her clothes first."

At this moment, the little girl was pulling on Xu Bai's trouser leg, her thin arms and legs trying to climb up, as if Xu Bai were a mountain.

Ye Zi quickly rummaged through the box and found a suitable set of clothes, then walked over to the girl.

Before Ye Zi could get close, the girl suddenly turned her head sharply, and a fierce aura burst forth from her body.

"Transcendent Realm?" Ye Zi was completely stunned.

The little girl waved her tiny arms arrogantly, her little fists pounding wildly in the air, as if trying to keep Ye Zi away.

"Wow wow wow!"

While waving her little fists, she also shouted loudly. After shouting, she hugged Xu Bai's leg and prepared to climb up.

Xu Bai helplessly reached out and pressed down on the girl's head, saying, "Little one, be good. These are all your relatives."

The girl was held down by Xu Bai, her big, dark eyes narrowed, as if she was enjoying it and could understand what Xu Bai was saying.

She swayed reluctantly as she walked up to Ye Zi.

Only then did Ye Zi realize what was happening and put the clothes on the little girl.

After the girl finished dressing, she ran to Xu Bai 'Xu Bai side on her short legs and hugged his leg.

"Husband..." Chu Ling was completely confused. Judging from the situation, the child was alright.

Apart from growing up a bit too fast, nothing unexpected happened.

Xu Bai sighed, "This little guy is outrageous. She can absorb the energy around her and turn it into her own power. Moreover, the absorption speed is very fast. Look at her current Transcendent Realm. She obtained it after absorbing my True Yuan Power."

"However, this little one hasn't cultivated any profession, so she can't continue absorbing now, because she hasn't turned my power into her own."

"Once they've converted my power into their own, they can continue to absorb more. I feel like they're even more monstrous than me."

Qing Xue, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xu Bai Xu Bai hearing what he said, "How can you talk about your own daughter like that? Little one, come here and let me take a look."

The little girl turned her head to look at Qing Xue, then turned her head back and continued to hug Xu Bai's leg.

Xu Bai bent down and picked up the girl.

This action delighted the little girl, and she immediately wrapped her arms around Xu Bai's neck, hanging on him like a koala.

"Anyway, the reason has been figured out, and I've also thought of a name: Xu Ling."

Chu Ling asked curiously, "Why is your Xu Ling?"

Xu Bai looked extremely serious. "Because it sounds good."

Chu Ling: "..."

She knew her husband wasn't very good at naming things, but at least this name wasn't too strange. For example, the name of the sword her husband used to carry was simply unbearable to pronounce.

"Let's call her Ling Ling. Ling Ling, come here." Chu Ling beckoned to Ling Ling.

Ling Ling knew her mother, of course. She cried out and opened her arms, even kicking Xu Bai with her legs in disgust.

Xu Bai: "(_)"

The saying goes that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket, but this one looks more like a heartless little cotton-padded jacket.

Xu Bai placed Ling Ling in Chu Ling's arms.

While coaxing her, Chu Ling said, "I want to hire the best teacher for her, and I also want her to choose her favorite profession. Husband, what is your profession? Do you think Ling Ling can learn from you?"

Xu Bai stroked his chin, lost in thought.

What is his profession? He's probably an all-rounder.

Even if Xiao Ling Ling is exceptionally talented, she probably wouldn't have this kind of learning method.

"Let's teach Ling Ling to read and speak first. As for choosing a profession, we can talk about it when she's a little older. Besides, I have to go out for a while."

Having already attained sainthood, he now faces two challenges.

One is to go to the Miao Sect. I promised to help Miao Sect solve the problem of the Golden Silk Gu, and this time I can fulfill that promise.

Secondly, he wanted to lure out the two Barbarian Tribe saints, kill them, and ensure that no one else would sleep peacefully beside his bed.

In Xu Bai's mind, this trip was all on the way. He would go to the Miao Sect Miao Sect first, and after that, he would leave the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom and lure those two guys out.

Chu Ling was slightly lost in thought, not expecting that her husband would leave again so soon after their meeting.

But she is a sensible woman, and she knows that if her man has something important to do, she should give him her full support.

"Husband, please go ahead. Don't worry, when you come back, the child will be well-educated."

Xu Bai patted Chu Ling's head and said, "Don't be so quick to raise the flag."

"Raise a flag, what does that mean?" Chu Ling asked, puzzled.

Xu Bai smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just said it casually. I won't leave tonight, I'll stay with you all."

Chu Ling hummed in agreement.

"You rest first, you and your sisters chat, I'll go out and ask someone to prepare a nutritious meal." Xu Bai let go of her hand and walked out.

Chu Ling and the other girls stayed in the room.

Ye Zi pointed at Chu Ling and said to Ling Ling, "This is Mother."

He then pointed to himself.

"I am the second mother."

Then he pointed to Qing Xue.

"This is Third Sister."

Chu Ling said softly, "The child is so young, you may know how to teach her, but she can't learn it."

Don't let Ling Ling's size fool you; she's only a newborn and still has a long way to go in learning.

Chu Ling thought so, but after she finished speaking, Ling Ling looked around with a bewildered expression.

Suddenly, Ling Ling opened her mouth...

"Wine!"

Although there are still some differences in pronunciation, it's already very good.

Chu Ling was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, her face full of joy. "Our little Ling Ling is actually a genius! She learned to talk so quickly."

Qing Xue smiled and said, "Sister, in my opinion, we should find Ling Ling a good profession. Let's forget about her husband. He has learned too many different things, which is not suitable for a normal person."

Beside him, Ye Zi nodded in deep agreement.

Everyone in the world knows that Xu Bai has learned a great deal, but he has mastered every single thing in great depth.

There is probably only one person like him in the world, and it is almost impossible to replicate a second one.

"I will carefully select from many professions, and then let Ling Ling choose for herself." Chu Ling hummed in agreement and continued to tease Ling Ling.

Ling Ling giggled and looked very happy.

As time passed, a joyful atmosphere filled the entire palace.

The next day.

When Xu Bai got out of bed, before he could even put on his clothes, four arms stretched out.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a spider demon, it's Ye Zi and Qing Xue.

To be honest, he just wanted to rest last night.

Chu Ling lives alone and takes care of Ling Ling.

Before he could rest for long, Ye Zi sneaked in.

How could a young man his age possibly resist? They're an old married couple, so it's only natural that things will naturally progress to the next level.

He had just finished and before he could even react, a woman burst in through the door.

—Qing Xue.

And then... he was gone.

He hadn't slept all night, but fortunately, he was now Entering Sainthood Expert, so the theory of an exhausted ox didn't apply to him.

Xu Bai looked at the fair arms wrapped around his body and said helplessly, "Alright, there will be plenty of time to spend with you in the future. We really need to get down to business."

Qing Xue got out of bed and kissed Xu Bai: "Have some food before you leave."

Ye Zi had already gotten up in the habit, dressed herself in front of Xu Bai, and then helped Xu Bai get dressed.

"Okay, let's eat before we go."

After Xu Bai got dressed, he took Ye Zi and Qing Xue to Chu Ling's room.

To be honest, as expected of someone in the industry, Chu Ling's health has recovered a lot.

After Xu Bai finished his meal with the girls, he left amidst their reluctant gazes.

The Great Chu Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

Eunuch Wei, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting in the Imperial Study, with two jars of old wine on the table.

Chief Mu stared longingly at the wine jar. "You old miser, even after becoming a saint you're still so stingy, you can't even bear to bring me a jar."

Eunuch Wei ignored Chief Mu and said, "Our wine is only for those who are having a good time."

From the moment they met until now, they feel uncomfortable if they don't have a fight every day; it's just their daily routine.

Chief Mu wasn't angry or bothered. He poured himself another cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Tea is still the best."

There was a hint of sourness in his tone.

"I wonder when Xu Bai will arrive." Eunuch Wei loosened his hands and placed them in his sleeves, looking like an ordinary old man.

Chief Mu smiled and said, "He will come. Now that he has become a saint, he will definitely come."

After he finished speaking, a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, but it wasn't Xu Bai who walked in; instead, it was Chief Mu's daughter Ying Yue.

"Is everything arranged?" Chief Mu asked.

Ying Yue nodded. "Father, I have followed your instructions and got the Bureau of Surveillance in the Barbarian Territory up and running. There are no problems there now, so I've come to report back."

"You're giving up?" Chief Mu asked.

Ying Yue pouted and said, "I'm quitting, it's no fun."

Chief Mu smiled and said, "You're not being meaningless, you just feel you don't have a chance to get in touch with Xu Bai, right?"

Ying Yue remained silent.

Chief Mu said with a headache, "What's so good about this kid? Why does everyone think so highly of him?"

Ying Yue then replied, "I met him during a time of crisis, and even when we were being pursued by Prime Minister Liu Yue, who had attained sainthood, he did not abandon me."

At this point, Ying Yue didn't continue, but what she meant next was quite clear.

Eunuch Wei closed his eyes slightly. "Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. Didn't you, old man, do the same when you were young?"

Chief Mu said awkwardly, "Can we not talk about the past? Do you know that when you get older, you feel ashamed when you think back on the things you did in the past?"

Eunuch Wei sneered, "It's not like we're ashamed. What can't we say?"

Chief Mu: "..."

Although they often bickered, it always ended with Chief Mu being completely defeated.

Ying Yue lowered her head and said, "Father..."

Chief Mu interrupted, "No need to say anything more. You can't resign from this position. You're just a bit willful sometimes. Do you even know why Chu Yu is still responsible for guarding the Border Pass?"

Ying Yue pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

Chief Mu sighed, "That's because she likes Xu Bai, so she's willing to do things for Xu Bai. And think about it, if you continue to take charge of the Bureau of Surveillance of the Barbarian Territory, aren't you helping Xu Bai?"

Ying Yue fell silent, carefully considering what Chief Mu had said. Finally, she seemed to understand and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Eunuch Wei, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened them. "They've arrived!"

Who has arrived? Everyone present knows very well.

Ying Yue said, "Father, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, before Chief Mu could speak, he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Chief Mu didn't bother with it. Although he didn't know why his daughter was unwilling to explain now, he thought it was a matter between the young people and had nothing to do with an old man like him.

Less than half an incense stick's time after Ying Yue left, a figure walked into the room from outside.

"Greetings, Chief Mu, and Eunuch Wei," Xu Bai said with a smile, wearing a Daoist robe given to him by the Female Daoist Abbot.

He had changed countless clothes, but this Daoist robe was still the most comfortable to wear. It was resistant to swords and spears, and could withstand water and fire. Moreover, it had a self-cleaning function.

It's quite poignant to think about it. After the Female Daoist Abbot had the opportunity to become a saint, she left the Barbarian Territory, and we don't know what happened to her now.

"Here you go!" Eunuch Wei suddenly struck, lightly tapping the wine jar on the table.

The wine jar flew up and was caught steadily in Xu Bai's hands. Xu Bai opened the seal on it, smelled the aroma of the wine, and his eyes lit up.

"Good wine!"

"Congratulations on the birth of your beloved daughter." Eunuch Wei picked up another jar of wine and raised it to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai didn't waste any words and also raised the wine jar.

The two drank heartily, while Chief Mu looked left and right, suddenly feeling that he seemed somewhat superfluous.

"Ahem." After the two had been drinking for a while, Chief Mu coughed appropriately to indicate that he was still present.

"Xu Bai, are you ready?"

Xu Bai put down the wine jar in his hand, found a place to sit down, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's about enough. They've already entered sainthood, it's just the end for those two guys."

The ascension of those two Barbarian Tribe to sainthood is a thorn in my side, and it's time to remove it, or I'll never have peace in this life.

Sitting next to Xu Bai, Eunuch Wei took a sip of wine and then half-closed his eyes. "This time, you're using yourself as bait. I don't know if you can keep them hooked, but the most important thing is that you need to be careful about your own safety."

"Now, our family has contacted the Great Yue Kingdom. The God of War Bai Zhong is stationed here and cannot take action, but Liu Yue can."

"You only need to delay for a moment, and Liu Yue will arrive. Then, our family will go."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai looked at Chief Mu.

Chief Mu said, "I can't go out. I'll stay here. If I go out, these two fish will know I'm here and definitely won't take the bait."

He has already reached the Exiting Sainthood Realm. If he goes out casually, he will definitely be noticed. At that time, the two Saintly Realm members of the Barbarian Tribe will definitely not be able to make a move.

Xu Bai nodded, indicating that he understood. "Two against two, plus me it's three against two, a sure win."

Eunuch Wei laughed and said, "I've only recently become a Saint, how do you know we're guaranteed to win?"

Xu Bai took another sip of wine. "When Eunuch Wei was already extraordinary, he was invincible. He could kill experts who had entered the Saint realm, and even exchange one-for-one with Entering Sainthood Peak. Now that he has entered the Saint realm, he will definitely be fine."

He had no doubt that Eunuch Wei would not betray him.

Eunuch Wei still looked old and frail, but he was very happy to hear Xu Bai say these words.

"Our family's profession as a shady eunuch has progressed rapidly since we entered the Saint realm. We are now close to the third rank. I can't say that we can kill someone at the Entering Sainthood Peak, but at least he can't easily escape from our grasp."

"With you added in, it's three against two, a sure win."

"But you have to understand, there will be a gap in the time when we get there. Can you handle that?"

This was the second time Eunuch Wei had asked this question, and Xu Bai knew in his heart that Eunuch Wei was worried about his situation.

After all, the farther the fish goes, the better the effect will be, but the farther it goes, the easier it is to lose control of the situation.

Xu Bai has only just entered the Saint realm, so it's normal for Eunuch Wei to have this concern.

Chief Mu, standing beside him, shared the same sentiment. "If it doesn't work out, then let's postpone it until you're stronger."

Xu Bai shook his head. "If it's too high, you won't be able to catch any fish."

The stronger he is, the more cautious those two will be. He may be able to have complete confidence, but if they don't show themselves, the plan will be ruined.

"I have my own methods," Xu Bai said.

Although he is only at the first rank of Sainthood, he still has the True Yuan Power of the first rank of Sainthood stored in his kidneys. With the two combined, he can hold out for a while.

At worst, you can only activate your cheat code.

Although he didn't want to activate his cheat ability, fearing it would attract the threat of the Supreme Saint, he had no choice but to do so if things went wrong along the way.

He knew this trip would be extremely risky.

There is no perfect plan in the world. Even he himself cannot come up with a perfect plan. Sometimes it is worth taking a risk.

Even if there is a threat from the Supreme Saint, he will still eliminate these two guys.

If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

Xu Bai is not one to show mercy.

After a moment of silence, Eunuch Wei said, "At that time, your own safety will be the priority."

It can be said that among these older generation members, Eunuch Wei and Xu Bai had the deepest friendship, spent the most time together, and Wei was the one who understood Xu Bai the best.

Once Xu Bai makes his decision, even if the Chu Emperor were to come back to life, he would be unable to stop him.

The deal was settled, and then they gradually refined the subsequent steps before finalizing the plan.

Xu Bai finished the rest of the wine in the jar. He was about to set off for the Miao Sect, but before he left, he wanted to ask one more question.

"You two are very knowledgeable and experienced; could you help me solve a problem?"

Both Chief Mu and Eunuch Wei turned their gazes toward him, waiting for Xu Bai to continue.

They were also very curious, because judging from Xu Bai's serious expression, they knew that this matter must be very important.

Xu Bai organized his thoughts and said, "It's like this, this matter is related to my daughter. My daughter had a problem after she was born, her abilities..."

In the empty room, Xu Bai's voice rang out. Xu Bai explained Ling Ling's condition, especially her ability to absorb energy.

Although he used his True Yuan Power to investigate and found no major problems, he was still somewhat uneasy.

So you should ask the older generation; maybe they'll know something.

After listening, Chief Mu pondered for a moment, as if searching his memory. After a while, he shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Beside him, Eunuch Wei frowned deeply after hearing what Xu Bai said.

Seeing this, Xu Bai knew that Eunuch Wei must know something and was waiting for Eunuch Wei's reply.

After a moment, Eunuch Wei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Our family doesn't really know anything about our background."

Xu Bai sighed inwardly. He had thought that Eunuch Wei knew, but it turned out that he knew nothing at all.

But then, Eunuch Wei said something else.

"But we know one thing: your daughter might be even more outrageous than you."
