The Wisdom of a Father!

Bai Fengxin and the others thought this way because they had already witnessed Lin Xuan being a Daughter-Doting Maniac.

Just now, he had casually let the children play with the Demon Core of a ninth-rank Iron Lion Monster.

Now that his child wanted to play with the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, how could he possibly refuse?

But...

This Nine-Headed Heavenly Python had profound cultivation and a violent temperament—how could the Imperial Husband fulfill his daughter's request?

Bai Fengxin and the others quickly retreated to Lin Xuan's side, their expressions respectful as they looked at him expectantly.

With the Imperial Husband's ability, dealing with the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python was naturally no problem.

The biggest spectacle now was how the Imperial Husband would make the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python obediently comply.

Lin Xuan didn't care what everyone thought; he gazed dotingly at Xuan You: "Alright, Daddy will let it be your toy!"

When Xuan Zhu and the others heard this, they all showed extremely frightened expressions.

Xuan Zhu quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Xuan's thigh, shaking it desperately:

"Daddy, this Nine-Headed Serpent is so big and so fierce—bringing it back would be so dangerous!"

Xuan Xi hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Xuan You sometimes scares us with the Nine-Horned Spotted Snake."

"If you bring the Nine-Headed Serpent back too, I'll definitely get scared to tears!"

Xuan Han fully agreed with her two older sisters: "Right! Right! I'd definitely get scared to tears too!"

Seeing his three daughters frowning and pouting, Lin Xuan's heart nearly overflowed with fatherly love.

These Treasures, no matter when, always looked so adorable.

Now the problem was that Xuan You wanted the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, while Xuan Zhu and the others didn't.

Lin Xuan had to strike the perfect balance to avoid hurting his daughters' hearts.

His gaze swept over Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han, and Lin Xuan asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of the Heavenly Dog Beast?"

Xuan Zhu shook her head: "No!"

Xuan Xi also shook her head: "I think the Heavenly Dog Beast is really cute!"

Xuan Han nodded: "Mm-hmm, I often play with the Heavenly Dog Beast."

Lin Xuan asked again: "Then if Daddy makes the Nine-Headed Serpent bark like a Heavenly Dog Beast for you, would you still be afraid of it?"

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han all shook their heads at once: "No!"

They felt that only cute Demonic Beasts would make cute sounds like the Heavenly Dog Beast.

If the Nine-Headed Serpent could bark like that too, it must also be a cute Demonic Beast.

When Xuan You heard this, her eyes lit up: "Daddy, then make it bark right now!"

"Alright!" Lin Xuan turned around and said to the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python: "Come here, bark like a Heavenly Dog Beast!"

Grandmaster-level Beast Taming Talent was nothing short of ruthless suppression for Great Demons below the third rank.

With just a glance, Lin Xuan could transmit boundless pressure to the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python.

Even the Demon Soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python was shaken by Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's words turned into infinite authority, heavily impacting the Spiritual Intelligence of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python.

It made the beast feel submission toward Lin Xuan from the depths of its soul.

Woo~

In an instant, the massive Nine-Headed Heavenly Python's Sha Qi vanished completely, and all nine pairs of eyes showed expressions of awe.

It fell from the mountainside into the pool and hurriedly swam to Lin Xuan's front.

Seeing this, Bai Fengxin and the others were so shocked their mouths hung open.

With just one word from the Imperial Husband, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python obediently came over.

What an extraordinary Beast Taming Talent!

But what surprised everyone even more was that the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python truly followed Lin Xuan's instructions exactly.

Ao ao ao~

It barked three times in imitation of the Heavenly Dog Beast.

Having cultivated for nearly five thousand years, this Nine-Headed Heavenly Python had devoured countless Heavenly Dog Beasts, so its imitation was remarkably lifelike.

Seeing this, Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han were stunned at first, then burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.

"Haha, that's so fun—it really can bark like a Heavenly Dog Beast!"

"I'm not afraid of it at all anymore!"

"Daddy, I think it's really cute!"

Seeing her three older sisters change their attitude toward the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, Xuan You clapped her hands in delight.

Lin Xuan smiled to himself—he had finally solved this problem perfectly.

Seeing Lin Xuan resolve the conflict among the children with a single move, Bai Fengxin and the others were filled with even greater admiration.

This time, Lin Xuan's intervention not only demonstrated his formidable beast-taming ability but also revealed the pinnacle of a father's wisdom.

"The North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband is destined to be an extraordinary figure!"

Bai Fengxin and the others all voiced similar sentiments in their hearts.

"Daddy, then what is its name?" Xuan Zhu and the others asked at the same time.

"It's called the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python." Lin Xuan smiled.

Xuan You looked at him expectantly and asked, "Can I call it Little Nine?"

"You can call it whatever you like." Lin Xuan raised a hand toward the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python. "Shrink your body to the smallest size."

As far as he knew, a Great Demon-level Nine-Headed Heavenly Python could freely adjust its size.

The one before him was far too massive; bringing it back to the Crystal Palace would likely terrify the servants.

It was best to make it smaller—at least cute enough.

The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python's nine heads all nodded at once.

A strange, earthy yellow light flashed, and it shrank to the size of a palm.

Lin Xuan smiled and looked at Xuan You and the others. "Now you can play with it as much as you like."

"That's wonderful!"

The little girls were overjoyed.

Looking at the palm-sized Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, they found it utterly adorable.

Then, the little girls called out "Little Nine, Little Nine" and happily played with the python.

Bai Fengxin and the others watched this scene, completely won over by Lin Xuan.

To let children play with a Second-Order Great Demon like the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python—Lin Xuan was absolutely the first!

Thinking that the secret realm's opening time was limited, and that there might still be unknown treasures on the great mountain, Bai Fengxin and the others decided to continue ascending to search for treasures.

Rumble~

Before they could take a few more steps, the mountain, whose peak was lost in the clouds, suddenly trembled as if struck by an earthquake.

This time, the mountain body visibly split and collapsed.

Terrifying rocks surged down like a tide, shaking the entire secret realm.

"Damn, the secret realm is collapsing!"

The experienced Bai Fengxin and the others immediately recognized the impending danger.

Not all secret realms collapsed, but when one did, the damage was unbearable.

Especially a large-scale secret realm like this—if they didn't flee in time, it would be a dead end.

Bai Fengxin guessed that the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python was likely the secret realm's invisible pillar.

Now that it had been subdued and shrunk, it might have directly triggered the realm's collapse.

There was no time to think further.

"Run!"

Bai Fengxin shouted, leading his disciples in a frantic escape.

Xuan Zhu and the others immediately returned to Lin Xuan's side, the four little girls pressing close to him. "Daddy, it's dangerous—let's go too!"

Xuan Han's gaze shifted, spotting Ling Rong not far away. She quickly said, "Daddy, if no one helps that aunt, will she die?"

Xuan Xi muttered, "She looks even weaker than us!"

Xuan Zhu nodded. "Yeah, she's badly injured."

"Don't worry, she won't die."

Lin Xuan hadn't planned to leave just like that anyway. With the children watching, he might as well see it through.

"Come to my side." Lin Xuan glanced casually at Ling Rong.

"Yes!" Ling Rong didn't hesitate and moved to Lin Xuan's side.

Once close, she felt as if she had entered a brand-new world.

No matter how violently the secret realm's surging waves raged, they couldn't harm her body at all.

At this moment, the secret realm completely shattered.

The ten-thousand-zhang mountain, the dense forests—

All seemed to be sucked into a massive vortex, crashing down toward Lin Xuan amid a thunderous roar.

Bai Fengxin and the others, already hundreds of miles away, turned at the noise.

Through the dust and flying debris, they saw a giant stone soaring into the sky.

A man in white robes, accompanied by four children and a woman, stood firm amid the collapsing storm.
