Xuxiang, Could You Do Daddy a Favor?
Inside the Three-Legged Crow Palace, the Three-Legged Crow prepared a family banquet to entertain Bai Qiuran and her family.
"Things on our end have temporarily come to a halt, so we came here to check on Xuxiang's progress."
Bai Qiuran sat cross-legged at the table, talking to Xi He while reaching out to touch her daughter's head.
"Hmph! Father is annoying!"
Bai Xuxiang was being fed by Jiang Lan when she saw Bai Qiuran reach out to touch her. She immediately waved her hand angrily and slapped her father's hand away.
This girl still harbors resentment towards Bai Qiuran for sending her here to suffer.
"I'm ashamed to say, this girl is still so naughty."
Xi He looked at the little girl who was huddled in Jiang Lan, completely protecting her mother as if she were a fortress, and shook her head with a sigh.
"It's much better than before."
Bai Qiuran and said, "The Goddess Xi He is indeed good at disciplining her. Her mother and I have completely spoiled this girl."
The Goddess Xi He said somewhat awkwardly, "But I'm really sorry, you all saw me practicing Xuxiang burning as soon as you arrived... You won't be angry with me, will you?"
Of course not.
Bai Qiuran laughed heartily, "This girl is the apple of our family's eye. When she's naughty, no one can bear to hit her, so she's gradually become spoiled. It's naturally a good thing that the Goddess Xi He is willing to step in and help us discipline her."
"Ugh!"
Upon hearing this Bai Xuxiang glared angrily at her father, her little mouth opening and closing, still full of food. She was stammering, and it was unclear what she wanted to do.
But the experienced Goddess Xi He immediately saw through her intentions, so she slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Xuxiang! You're not allowed to spit the food in your mouth at your father!"
Bai Xuxiang was startled and reluctantly swallowed the rice in her mouth.
"You're getting more and more mischievous!"
Sitting next to Jiang Lan, Su Xiangxue couldn't help but pinch her little nose and say something to her.
"To be honest, there's something else I need my daughter's help with..."
Bai Qiuran glanced at Bai Xuxiang, but the little girl still turned her head away, ignoring her.
He scratched his head and sighed. It seemed that before asking Bai Xuxiang for help, he would need to spend some time making his daughter happy first.
More than a month later, in the Immortal Realm Radiant Sect, at the Piaotian, a gathering between Immortals and Cultivators was just coming to an end.
At this gathering, many Immortals and Cultivators from the Eighteen Heavens of the Form Realm and the Six Heavens of the Desire Realm came to conduct various transactions. Even the Immortal Emperor sent an official envoy to sell many treasures and Cultivation Technique at low prices to support the cultivation of these Immortals and Cultivators.
However, besides the dazzling array of Magic Treasure Cultivation Technique, and rare elixirs, the gathering also offered many novelties that children would enjoy. These included delicacies from various Spirit Mountain, adorable spirit Spirit Beasts that were agile, Loyalty, and low in aggression, making them suitable as pets, and some Immortals had returned from their travels to other worlds would also bring out the delicious food they had tasted and the novelties they had seen and obtained to sell at this gathering.
Bai Qiuran also brought Bai Xuxiang here. He came here not for any Cultivation Technique, Divine Ability, rare and precious materials, elixirs, or Divine Artifacts. He had either seen all of these things in the libraries of the Immortal Realm Ghost Realm Magic Treasure, or he simply couldn't use them.
He brought his daughter here, naturally to make her happy.
Children are all like this, especially young children. Their minds are not yet fully developed. They are close to their parents when they are with them, but after being sent to their grandparents' house for a period of time, they will become distant from their parents. In severe cases, they may even refuse to be held by their parents.
However, children are easy to coax. Bai Qiuran Haoting Xiaodu Heaven, accompanying the girl to play everywhere with Jiang Lan and the other mothers. They bought her a lot of delicious food and fun things. Now, Bai Xuxiang is willing to sweetly call him "Daddy" again.
As the gathering neared its end, Bai Qiuran was carrying his precious daughter, leading her towards Haoting Xiaodu Heaven.
Bai Xuxiang was happily munching on a soft ointment she had bought from a market. It seemed to be called "Bowl Cake," and it was soft and came in various fruit flavors, which the little girl loved.
"Is it delicious?"
Bai Qiuran looked up. He couldn't see his daughter because Bai Xuxiang was riding on his shoulders, but he could feel the little girl's joyful mood.
"Um!"
"Does your father love you?"
"Pain!"
"Well, your father has a small favor to ask you. Are you willing to do it?"
Bai Qiuran guided him.
"OK."
Bai Xuxiang was pleased with herself today and was very accommodating to Bai Qiuran's every request.
"Good boy."
Bai Qiuran praised her, then said something to Jiang Lan and the others, and immediately set off, taking Bai Xuxiang to the world where Bai Li was, entering the Consciousness Domain.
His speed was very fast, far exceeding that of the Void Airship, so it didn't take much time.
Upon arriving here, Bai Xuxiang looked around curiously. The palace-dressed doll Consciousness Demon that had been dormant in her Consciousness also emerged and wandered around this Consciousness Domain, appearing quite at ease.
Bai Qiuran to prevent her from running around, then squatted down and asked her, "Xuxiang, can you connect your father's thoughts with this space?"
"This space?"
Bai Xuxiang bit her finger, somewhat puzzled.
As a child born with the ability to Consciousness Demon Clone, it was very easy for her to understand the concept of thought and capture it. Bai Qiuran started teaching her when she was three years old, and the girl truly learned the concept of thought in just a few years.
Therefore, capturing thoughts is very easy for her, but Bai Xuxiang clearly doesn't understand this Consciousness Domain very well.
Bai Qiuran didn't expect her to succeed on the first try, but simply said to her, "That's right, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, you can try first."
The little girl hesitated, biting her index finger, and said, "Then I'll give it a try."
She clapped her hands, and a soft little hand reached out to Bai Qiuran and pressed it on Bai Qiuran's forehead. Then she squatted down and pressed her other hand against the ground of the Consciousness Domain.
When Bai Xuxiang activated his ability, Bai Qiuran immediately felt a force pulling at his mind, trying to connect it with another thing. However, this force was weak and could not pull his mind away. A large part of his mind was still connected to his Souls and body.
So Bai Qiuran took the initiative to stop resisting and, in conjunction with Bai Xuxiang's ability, unleashed his astral projection. That power finally connected his thoughts with another thing.
In an instant, Bai Qiuran felt himself enter a wondrous "Network Pathway," his body becoming incredibly vast, his Consciousness becoming incredibly expansive, spreading across several worlds.
Moreover, Bai Qiuran keenly sensed something unusual at the boundary of her own "body".
That place connects to the Great Dao Laws of Heavenly Dao, where another thought is stirring.
