The Perfect Daddy Image Cannot Tolerate Even the Slightest Stain!

"I am Bai Fengxin of the Wind Moon Sect in Chi Xiao Heaven. Greetings to the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!" Bai Fengxin hurried forward to bow.

Even though he was from Chi Xiao Heaven, he had no choice but to take the initiative to pay respects to Lin Xuan.

In fact, as Bai Fengxin saw it, simply being able to meet the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband was already an honor for him.

Though the Wind Moon Sect had some small reputation in Chi Xiao Heaven, compared to the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband, it was a difference like cloud and mud—only worthy of looking up to.

Seeing Bai Fengxin bow, Lin Tong and the others also rushed forward to pay their respects one by one.

"Lin Tong of the Giant Sword Sect in Chi Xiao Heaven, greetings to the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

"Wang Wenyang of the Miao Xuan Sect in Chi Xiao Heaven, greetings to the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

Watching this scene, Ling Rong's body trembled slightly again, unable to hold back.

She raised her head, looking up at the extraordinarily handsome man standing across from her.

"Even Bai Fengxin, who was pressing me so hard just now, is bowing and scraping before him."

"A man like him is truly one who stands high above."

"Compared to him, what are the Great Xia Kingdom's king and crown prince worth?"

Ling Rong couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.

That marriage contract from back then hadn't been her idea.

It was the Ling Family's family head—her father—

who had forced the engagement with the crown prince for the sake of family interests.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that she had lost all her cultivation and her spiritual root was gone, the Great Xia Kingdom's king and crown prince immediately changed their tune.

Did these weathercock opportunists even deserve to call themselves nobles?

Before the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband, they probably weren't even fit to carry his shoes!

"Hmm." Lin Xuan responded indifferently.

Before appearing, his Divine Sense had already covered the area where everyone was.

He was well aware of Bai Fengxin's coercion of Ling Rong, so he held no favorable impression of Bai Fengxin.

Though it had nothing to do with him, Lin Xuan naturally looked down on those who delighted in bullying the weak.

"Daddy, Mother said every Demonic Beast has a Demon Core. Where do you think the Iron Lion Monster's Demon Core is hidden?" Xuan Zhu returned to Lin Xuan's side and asked.

"In its belly, of course." Lin Xuan rubbed her little head.

Xuan Xi also stepped forward: "Mother said Demon Cores are very useful. So do Demonic Beasts spit them out, or give birth to them?"

Xuan You rushed up, raising her little hand: "I know! They must give birth to them!"

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han all looked at Xuan You: "How do you know?"

Seeing her three older sisters all looking clueless, Xuan You proudly lifted her chin and snorted: "Because the Nine-Horned Spotted Snake in my room gave birth to lots of Demon Cores!"

Xuan Zhu and the others shook their heads after hearing that: "Those are clearly snake eggs!"

Xuan You refused to accept it: "Impossible! Last time I asked the Nine-Horned Spotted Snake if what it laid were Demon Cores, and it kept nodding and saying yes!"

Xuan Zhu covered her mouth and laughed: "That's because it's afraid of being bullied by you!"

Xuan Xi shook her head with a sigh: "Mother said the Nine-Horned Spotted Snake was naturally ferocious by nature, but now you've bullied it into being a good little baby."

Xuan Han nodded: "Yeah, when they run into Xuan You, these Demonic Beasts are really pitiful!"

Lin Xuan listened to his daughters' conversation and couldn't help but smile.

So Donghuang Ziyou had only mentioned Demon Cores to the girls, without explaining all the details about them.

It seemed he'd have to take some time to tell them more about Demonic Beasts.

As they spoke, Bai Fengxin stepped forward, holding a pure white sphere in his hands.

The sphere was the size of an egg, with nine golden lights swirling around its surface.

Even from a distance, one could feel the intense aura radiating from it.

"Imperial Husband, this is the Iron Lion Monster's Demon Core." Bai Fengxin said with a flattering expression.

He figured that as the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband, Lin Xuan wouldn't bother with trivial matters like extracting a Demon Core himself.

He would take this chance to present the Demon Core and curry favor with Lin Xuan.

"Wow, so this is what a Demon Core looks like. It looks so interesting!" Xuan Zhu and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Xuan smiled: "If you like it, take it and play with it."

Xuan Zhu nodded, then took the Demon Core from Bai Fengxin's hands.

The four little girls gathered around, all opening their big eyes wide to study the Demon Core.

Lin Tong and the others all looked at that demon core with undisguised envy.

A Ninth-Rank Demonic Beast's demon core, placed in the Cultivation World, was absolutely a priceless treasure.

If one could refine and absorb it, even if it didn't instantly elevate them by a full major realm, at least half a realm was certain.

Still, this thing was originally the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband's.

No matter how much their mouths watered, they wouldn't dare entertain any crooked thoughts.

At this moment, a petite figure suddenly rushed toward Lin Xuan and dropped to her knees before him.

Ling Rong pleaded, "Imperial Husband, this little daughter Ling Rong begs you to open your golden mouth and allow me to enter this secret realm."

Lin Xuan looked down at her coolly. "The secret realm is fraught with danger. They've already explained it clearly to you. Why do you still insist on risking life and limb to enter?"

Bai Fengxin and the others' faces changed drastically.

So everything they'd said just now had been heard by the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband.

Such ability was truly both admirable and fearsome!

"Because I want my parents to hold their heads high! I want the Ling Family to find their dignity!"

Ling Rong knocked her head heavily against the ground. "I only ask the Imperial Husband to give me one chance. If I succeed, this little daughter will repay you with my life!"

Lin Xuan saw in Ling Rong's eyes an indescribable stubbornness and drive.

This kind of unwavering conviction—Lin Xuan had never seen it in a woman before.

"Aside from those reasons you gave, what you most want to do is reclaim your talent and then slap the Great Xia King and Crown Prince in the face, isn't it?" Lin Xuan asked with amusement.

Ling Rong swallowed. "At first, I did harbor that thought."

"But after meeting you, Imperial Husband, I realized that people like them aren't worth my effort."

"So I've given up on that idea."

Lin Xuan nodded. He could tell Ling Rong wasn't lying.

He glanced casually at Bai Fengxin and the others. "What do you say?"

Bai Fengxin and the rest quickly bowed. "Everything is up to the Imperial Husband's decision!"

In front of a strong person, even with ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare decide on their own.

Lin Xuan's gaze fell back on Ling Rong. "Very well. I'll give you one chance."

"Thank you, Imperial Husband!" Ling Rong kowtowed at once, trembling with excitement.

Lin Xuan slightly nodded and then looked away from her.

The reason he helped Ling Rong, aside from appreciating her fierce drive, was most importantly to set a good example for his daughters.

After all, he held a towering image in their hearts.

If he wouldn't even lift a finger to help, how would he be any different from bullies like Bai Fengxin?

The image of a perfect daddy in his daughters' hearts couldn't afford a single stain!

Sure enough, seeing Lin Xuan play the role of a savior, Xuan Zhu and the others all smiled happily.

"Daddy is such a good person!"

"Hmm!"

"Hmm hmm!"

"Hmm hmm hmm!"

Bai Fengxin and the others inexplicably flushed red.

If they'd known they'd meet the Imperial Husband, they wouldn't have blocked Ling Rong earlier.

Ah, in the end, it was Ling Rong's good fortune to meet a great benefactor like the Imperial Husband in such a situation.

And as everyone was lost in their thoughts, the spinning golden light suddenly burst open, and an immensely rich spiritual energy surged out through the glow.

"The secret realm is open!"
