With Father, Forget Mother!

"Helped Xuan Xi remember one character, and it rewards the Chaos Sacred Body—this system really is generous!"

Seeing the reward the system had given, Lin Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

The Chaos Sacred Body was an extremely rare and precious innate Divine Physique.

In the current rankings of Divine Physiques across the Jiutian Immortal Domain, it stood at number one!

Possessing this sacred body allowed one to draw endless Dao Power from the Vague and Elusive Cosmic Chaos Center.

Until the physical body reached perfection and supremacy, invincible under heaven.

In other words, this was a Lazy Physique that required no cultivation.

But that didn't stop it from being monstrously powerful.

If Lin Xuan said he wasn't happy, that would definitely be a lie!

Ding!

"Withdraw reward?"

"Withdraw!"

"Successfully withdrew Chaos Sacred Body!"

In an instant, Lin Xuan felt his body undergo earth-shattering changes.

All his bones, meridians, skin, flesh, and blood vessels shattered and reorganized at the particle level.

Inside his body, it was as if it had instantly crumbled into a universe of hundreds of billions of stars, rearranging and combining according to a new rule.

In almost a single breath, this rearrangement was completely finished.

Lin Xuan felt that every single cell of his seemed to resonate with the deep, vast Chaos Center.

Even sitting still, he could draw that Dao Power into his body through the void.

"As expected of a top-tier divine body—it's truly too strong!"

After a deep moment of reflection, Lin Xuan couldn't help but let out such a sigh.

"Daddy, did I sing badly?" Xuan Xi saw Lin Xuan stunned, and her little heart tightened.

Lin Xuan quickly snapped back to himself, shaking his head with a smile: "Of course not! My precious Xuan Xi sang wonderfully!"

His good daughter learning a single new character had earned Lin Xuan a divine body—he was practically over the moon for her!

"Hehe!" Xuan Xi laughed happily, revealing two adorable dimples.

As long as she remembered this nursery rhyme, she would never be afraid of forgetting that character again.

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Han, and Xuan You walked over at this moment.

They had just heard Xuan Xi singing and found it sounded very interesting.

"Xuan Xi, what were you singing just now?" Xuan Zhu asked.

Xuan Xi smiled: "It's a nursery rhyme Daddy taught me—let's sing it together!"

"Great!" Xuan Han clapped her hands happily.

Xuan You also looked expectant; this Little Demoness not only loved mischief but also loved to sing.

The Four Sisters then sang and danced in the courtyard, looking utterly joyful.

At that moment, a seductive voice came through: "Treasures, what nice song are you singing?"

Donghuang Ziyou, clad in a purple-golden robe, entered with Lotus Steps.

The Four Little Girls immediately crowded around her.

"Mother, it's a nursery rhyme Daddy taught us—it's so nice!"

With that, the little girls sang the nursery rhyme together.

"How lovely!" Donghuang Ziyou showed a pleased expression, glancing subtly at Lin Xuan in the distance.

She hadn't expected him to have such talent, she thought quietly.

Seeing Donghuang Ziyou approaching with the children, Lin Xuan asked casually: "Court Affairs aren't busy today, so you came to see the children?"

"Hmm." Donghuang Ziyou nodded. "With the Benefactor's help, matters in the Ten Thousand Devil Kingdom were handled very smoothly, so I had time to spend a day with the children."

"Oh." Lin Xuan looked indifferent; he naturally knew that the Benefactor she mentioned was himself.

Donghuang Ziyou shook her head inwardly.

If anyone else had heard her words, they would have curiously asked who that Benefactor was.

But Lin Xuan wore an expression of complete unconcern.

At the end of the day, he simply had no interest in such matters—his ambitions weren't set on the world.

Putting aside her thoughts, Donghuang Ziyou smiled slightly and asked Xuan Zhu and the others: "You haven't slacked off on sword practice and lessons these past few days, have you?"

"No!"

"With Daddy here, we'll work hard!"

Hearing the children's words, Donghuang Ziyou's smile deepened.

Regardless, Lin Xuan was commendable when it came to taking care of the kids.

With him watching over them, their studies and martial arts should be well-covered.

Beyond their lessons, what Donghuang Ziyou cared about most was the children's martial arts training.

She secretly decided that once the children had fully mastered the "Tian Zhao Swordplay" in another year, she would teach them even higher-level sword techniques.

"Alright, since Mother has free time today, tell me where you want to go play," Donghuang Ziyou said, looking at the children with doting affection.

The four little girls immediately racked their brains, chattering and discussing for quite a while before deciding to go to Shengjing Mountain.

Because they had heard that there, it was spring all year round—the only place in the North Profound Heaven where spring could be seen.

"Fine, then we'll go to Shengjing Mountain." Donghuang Ziyou waved her jade hand, and behind her, golden light blazed for ten thousand feet in the sky.

Nine giant dragons pulled the Mysterious Ice Imperial Carriage down from the clouds, landing in the courtyard.

"Let's go," Donghuang Ziyou said to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan then followed her, taking the children onto the Mysterious Ice Imperial Carriage.

As befitting the most honored carriage in the North Profound Heaven, the luxury of the Mysterious Ice Imperial Carriage was beyond imagination.

Compared to it, the Green Winged Birds' carriage was practically peasant-level.

Inside the carriage, there were two rows of facing seats, all carved with Divine Phoenixes, resplendent and magnificent.

After Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou sat down facing each other, the four little girls immediately pounced into Lin Xuan's embrace.

Seeing this, Donghuang Ziyou couldn't help but open her little mouth, a pang of sourness rising in her heart.

"These girls really... once they have a daddy, they forget their mother!"

Watching the four little girls squeezed into Lin Xuan's arms, Donghuang Ziyou was both amused and helpless.

Before long, Xuan Zhu turned around and came over to Donghuang Ziyou.

"Darling, are you coming to keep Mother company..." Donghuang Ziyou's heart leaped with joy—her eldest daughter Xuan Zhu loved her mother the most.

But before she could finish, her jade hand was grabbed by Xuan Zhu.

Xuan Zhu said, "Mother, you should come sit on Daddy's lap with us too!"

Donghuang Ziyou's cheeks burned, faintly flushing with two rosy clouds.

"Mother can't sit on your daddy's lap!" She quickly shook her head.

"Why not?" Not just Xuan Zhu, but the other three little girls also turned around, looking puzzled.

Donghuang Ziyou forced down her shyness: "Because Mother is an adult, and she'd crush your daddy's legs."

"Oh!" Xuan Zhu and the others didn't think much of it, since Mother's words were always reasonable.

"But Mother sitting across from us is so strange!" Xuan Han shook her head.

A family should sit together.

"Come over here," Lin Xuan said, understanding his daughter's thoughts.

Donghuang Ziyou thought for a moment, then nodded and sat down on Lin Xuan's row.

With the four girls between them, it was just like a family of six.

But Donghuang Ziyou's cheeks were still warm, her heart pounding like a deer's.

In four years, this was the first time she had been so close to Lin Xuan.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's calm expression eased the awkward atmosphere, and throughout the journey, Donghuang Ziyou's mood remained light.

When they arrived at Shengjing Mountain, it was indeed spring all year round.

Flowers red and willows green, the air thick with spring.

After the two spent a good while playing with the children.

Donghuang Ziyou stood to the side, her eyes full of tenderness as she watched Lin Xuan and the kids.

Though Lin Xuan was different from other men—uninterested in martial arts or the world—

This kind of life was still warm and wonderful.

She was the North Profound Heaven Empress, an Emperor Realm Strong Person, and even she sometimes felt immense pressure.

She should not let Lin Xuan share that burden for her.

Since that was the case, let it continue like this.

The storms and blade light sword shadow outside—let her bear them alone.

Donghuang Ziyou thought silently, her gaze resolute, as if she had made a major decision.

Thank you to Big Shot Qing Yi for the ten-thousand reward, and thank you to We Are The Brave for the 100 reward!!!!
