Ciri Was the Child of Time and Space

[Name: Li Ang.]

[Ability: Super Physique.]

[Goddaughters: Kara Zor-El, Ciri Fiona Elen Riannon.]

In Li Ang's rudimentary system, Ciri had already received its "recognition."

This proved that, in her heart, she had already accepted Li Ang as her godfather.

Perhaps because she came from the Medieval World, Ciri was far more innocent than Kara. Of course, there might have been other reasons as well.

Back then, Kara had spent a full month Fleeing before she accepted Li Ang as her godfather.

And now, it hadn't even been a day!

Naturally, Li Ang was overjoyed.

[Kara Zor-El (Supergirl).]

[Intimacy: 66 (can draw again at 80).]

[Abilities: Flight, Heat Vision, Super Breath...]

[Ciri Fiona Elen Riannon (Child of Time and Space).]

[Intimacy: 10 (can draw at 50).]

[Abilities: Space-time Travel, Predict the Future, Magic Affinity, Extraordinary Physique...]

Looking at his two goddaughters, Li Ang couldn't help letting out a sly chuckle.

He wanted them all so badly!

As an adult, of course he wanted everything!

The moment Harley Quinn saw his smile, she was about to speak again, but Li Ang pushed her back down.

They kept at it until the afternoon before Li Ang and Harley Quinn finally came out of the room.

With two little ones in the house, life seemed like it was about to become different.

He had to work even harder!

For example, right now.

Back when there had only been Li Ang and Kara, if they were feeling lazy, they could just cook some Noodles and call it a meal.

But now they were a Family of Four.

Naturally, Li Ang couldn't just make a bowl of Noodles and muddle through.

Besides, Ciri had just arrived. He had to let her eat something good.

So Li Ang checked his savings.

In America, he seemed to have truly integrated into the local way of life—living paycheck to paycheck every month, with no extra money at home...

He could only keep working himself like a beast of burden to make sure he and Kara wouldn't end up sleeping on the streets, and to make sure they had food to eat.

Was it because Li Ang didn't work hard enough?

Wrong. It was this damned capitalist society.

Li Ang was doing fairly well. Many ordinary Americans couldn't survive and had to Sell blood every month to make a living.

The poor were the rich's Blood bags!

Luckily, Li Ang was now the Bar Manager, and Penguin treated his subordinates fairly well.

After thinking it over, Li Ang called out, "Kara, I'm going out to buy groceries. What do you want to eat?"

"I want Chicken legs and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs!"

Kara's shout came immediately.

After all, his family was anything but ordinary. If he took Harley Quinn out to eat, they probably wouldn't even be allowed into a restaurant.

Or if they did get in, the owner might just run away on the spot.

So Li Ang could only buy the food himself.

Once he had an idea of what to get, Li Ang headed out alone for Chinatown.

Naturally, Harley Quinn didn't go out with him. It wouldn't be good if someone saw her in broad daylight.

Li Ang found the Chinese Restaurant he and Kara liked best. It was run by a Chinese owner, so he ordered directly and got it packed to go.

Four dishes came to nearly two hundred dollars!

Li Ang's face turned bitter. It seemed he really had to learn how to cook, or he wouldn't even be able to afford to raise his two daughters.

With the meager salary from the Iceberg Lounge, he'd be lucky to eat out once a month.

"Kara, Ciri, come out and eat."

After returning home, Li Ang called toward Kara's bedroom.

Only then did the two inseparable girls slowly shuffle out of the room.

Seeing their happy smiles, it was obvious they had grown much closer over the course of the afternoon.

Kara took the initiative to wash her hands with Ciri, taking on the responsibility of an older sister.

After all, when Li Ang had told her to wash her hands before meals, she had always dawdled.

"Ciri, this is my favorite chicken leg."

Kara shared it without hesitation.

Li Ang nodded in satisfaction. Kara was mature and sensible, which put his mind at ease.

"Huh? Why are you crying?"

Kara looked at Ciri and suddenly froze.

Ciri's eye sockets had grown damp, her emerald-like eyes shimmering with tears.

"No... I... I've never eaten this well before."

Ciri pressed her lips together, her eyes full of gratitude toward Li Ang.

"Hurry up and eat. This is also to welcome you. Once Godfather starts cooking for himself later, it won't taste this good."

Li Ang made a self-deprecating joke.

But Kara defended him. "Don't worry, Godfather's noodles are delicious."

This little girl...

The family immediately ate in warm harmony, while the world where Harley Quinn got hurt had been achieved.

She realized she seemed like an outsider.

The main reason was that she wasn't used to Chinese food, and she couldn't understand what they were saying.

How did Li Ang and Kara know Ciri's language? Was the gap between people really this huge?

Still, she was trying hard to get used to it.

How could such a lively family be without her?

So Harley Quinn enthusiastically helped the two girls pick out food as well.

If she couldn't get used to eating it, then she could let the kids eat it.

She would just treat it as dieting!

Even Harley Quinn had body-image anxiety.

She felt like she had put on quite a bit of weight, though Li Ang seemed to like this soft, fleshy feel.

"Godfather, Ciri learns very quickly. She's already learned all twenty-six letters, and she can even say simple words now."

At that moment, Kara spoke to Li Ang.

Li Ang wasn't surprised by that.

Ciri was still young, at the peak of her ability to learn. Besides, she was naturally smart and picked up new things quickly.

"Keep it up."

Li Ang encouraged Ciri.

Ciri smiled as well.

"Thank you, Godfather."

Hearing her call him Godfather made Li Ang feel wonderfully pleased.

Kara immediately asked, "Godfather, once Ciri learns the language, can she go to school with me?"

"Of course."

Li Ang answered at once, then began to feel a little troubled.

He had many things to do.

The most urgent matter was getting Ciri an identity.

How was he supposed to explain to Commissioner Gordon that he had gained another daughter?

Night fell.

The troubled Old Father instructed his daughters not to go outside, then left with Harley Quinn.

He was afraid Harley Quinn would cause trouble again, so he could only bring her along.

"It's not even fully dark yet. Batman will catch me."

Harley Quinn was extremely unwilling.

"You know to be afraid of Batman too?"

Li Ang shot her a glare.

"I'm not afraid of him. I just can't beat him!"

Harley Quinn declared righteously.

"Darling, if I got locked up in Arkham Asylum, would you come visit me?"

"No!"

"You're so heartless! Wuwuwu..."

"Let's go, Drama Queen."

Li Ang dragged the drama queen along and saw Harley Quinn somehow pull out her Exclusive Weapon, a baseball bat.

"Then I'll go take over the territory."

Harley Quinn split off from Li Ang after walking with him for a while.

Li Ang, meanwhile, headed to the Iceberg Lounge.

It was his only source of income.

But the moment Li Ang arrived, Penguin summoned him.

Penguin knew about what had happened in the Diamond District, and his sources were excellent.

"Li Ang, I heard you found yourself a girlfriend. Why didn't you bring her over to introduce her?"

In the Meeting Room, Penguin looked at Li Ang with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
