The man suddenly burst into laughter, vigorously rubbing his large face against Nalan Qingqing's cheek. "My Qingqing is just so adorable, hahaha..."
Nalan Qingqing looked disgusted and shoved him hard. "Your beard is prickling me to death! Get away from me, Dad! You're getting more annoying by the day!"
The man refused to move away, rubbing even harder, his face full of doting affection.
"Ah, Dad, you're so annoying!" Nalan Qingqing cried in exasperation.
Knock, knock.
At that moment, someone arrived and knocked on the room's door.
Nalan Qingqing was the Ancient Ancestor's daughter, his only daughter born in his old age. Anyone qualified to come here naturally could not be ordinary.
"Qingqing, it's your brother." A man's voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Haochuan?" Nalan Qingqing said, "Come in."
Nalan Haochuan pushed open the door with a smile. "Little sister, I heard you suffered a setback on the Tiangang Continent. Your brother came to comfort you. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious..."
Before he could finish, Nalan Haochuan abruptly stopped. Staring at the man standing in the room in shock, he cried out, "Dad?"
Before the words had even faded, he turned and ran, looking like a mouse that had seen a cat.
"Hmph, you unfilial brat. All you know is how to drag your sister out and fool around." The man showed Nalan Haochuan not the slightest kindness, his disdain undisguised.
"Dad, I'm sorry!" Nalan Haochuan apologized as he fled.
"Dad, why are you treating Brother like that? Isn't he pretty great?" Nalan Qingqing asked, confused.
"Great my ass. He's an unfilial brat."
The man's expression changed as he rubbed his face against Nalan Qingqing's. "Isn't my Qingqing still the cutest? +?(●˙?˙●)?+?."
Nalan Qingqing shoved him hard, looking utterly disgusted. "Dad, you're the worst!
