A Daughter's Happiness Outweighed the Entire World

Before the children returned to the yard, Lu Qing'an had already brought Xu Xuanyu back inside.

The sun was already setting in the west, hanging in the sky like a huge red fruit.

The wind continues to warm, the shadows linger, as if nature's intoxicating brush has painted a magnificent masterpiece.

The yard was covered in a layer of new red paint.

When Lu Qing'an and his two companions appeared, Xiao Qingyi, who was sitting quietly in the stone pavilion looking at the horizon, quickly waved to Lu Qing'an.

Lu Qing'an approached with a smile.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Qingyi asked.

"He went to find Dao of Alchemy Master."

"Oh? Is there any way to cure it?"

Lu Qing'an nodded.

Xiao Qingyi laughed heartily, "Not bad, not bad! I knew this kid was lucky despite his foolishness! Even Dao of Alchemy Master nodded, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

Xu Xuanyu scratched his head. "Elder Xiao, I'm not stupid."

"Ahem, it's good to be a little silly, it's good to be a little silly."

Xu Xuanyu: "..."

At this point, Xiao Qingyi changed the subject, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Lu Qing'an, his eyes barely slits. "There's something I need to tell you."

"Then you tell me." Lu Qing'an casually sat down and poured himself some tea.

He had just picked up the teapot when Xue Tianfei snatched it away and then poured tea into Lu Qing'an's teacup with a smile.

Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled.

Xiao Qingyi: "You joked with my apprentices, which startled me. I investigated them thoroughly today, asking them many questions about their childhood, as well as some things that only they could possibly know, and they answered them fluently."

"Oh, and then?" Lu Qing'an asked.

"And then, you scared me. Humph, I won't say anything if you joke about other things, but if you joke like that again, I'll..."

"What would you do? Hit me?" Lu Qing'an asked.

"Fine, if I can't beat you, I won't fight. But! I can ignore you now!" Xiao Qingyi crossed his arms, turned his head to the side, glanced at Lu Qing'an sideways, and then quickly looked back.

"Alright, you win." Lu Qing'an smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Xiao Qingyi was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Qing'an's words, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Oh ho, you actually fell for that? That's right! When it comes to charm, I'm undoubtedly number one. Anyone who chats with me or spends a lot of time with me easily gets addicted, and even you, the god of death, aren't immune! Haha!"

Xiao Qingyi's nose is practically pointing to the sky.

Extremely pleased with himself.

Lu Qing'an glanced at Xiao Qingyi's expression, smiled inwardly, but showed no reaction on his face, and drank his tea without saying a word.

After Xiao Qingyi finished speaking, seeing that Lu Qing'an didn't say a word, he hummed twice.

Lu Qing'an turned around and looked at the setting sun on the horizon.

"What, you're not Qi Ingestion?" Xiao Qingyi asked.

Lu Qing'an ignored him, treating it as if he were talking to thin air.

"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything?" Xiao Qingyi frowned.

Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei: "This kind of weather is perfect."

Xue Tianfei smiled and nodded.

"Hey! Do you think I'm invisible?"

Lu Qing'an ignored him.

"Say something, are you mute?" Xiao Qingyi's lips twitched.

Lu Qing'an then stood up and walked towards the pond.

"Hey?! Pay attention to me!" Xiao Qingyi quickly got up and chased after Lu Qing'an, talking to her anxiously, but Lu Qing'an didn't say a word the whole time.

Xue Tianfei covered her mouth and chuckled.

These two really are like children who haven't grown up.

Xu Xuanyu smiled, then looked out of the courtyard, thinking to himself, "My second sister should be back soon, right?"

He couldn't wait to tell his second sister about the possibility of him regaining his cultivation!

Just as he was thinking this, a series of flashes of light appeared, and a portal appeared.

His eyes lit up, and he jogged away.

"Daddy! Aunt Xue! Uncle! Grandpa Xiao!" Lu Miaomiao ran into the yard and shouted from afar, her little face full of smiles.

When Lu Qing'an saw his daughter, his eyes lit up. He pushed aside Xiao Qingyi, who had been following him and trying to get him to speak, and walked towards his daughter.

Xiao Qingyi: "..."

Lu Miaomiao ran towards Lu Qing'an first, leaping high into the air. "Daddy! Catch me!"

Lu Qing'an smiled and caught his youngest daughter who jumped from a few meters away.

"Giggle~" Lu Miaomiao laughed as soon as Lu Qing'an caught her, revealing her small gums and a shallow dimple on her left cheek.

"Daddy, have you missed Miaomiao?"

"Of course I want to. Come here, give Daddy a kiss."

"Mua~mua~hehe, I'll give you two big kisses!" Lu Miaomiao said proudly.

Lu Qing'an felt overjoyed. He then put his daughter down and squatted down to look at her.

"Miaomiao, come here, close your eyes, Daddy has something for you!"

"Ah? What gift did Daddy prepare for Miaomiao? What delicious food did he prepare?" Lu Miaomiao's big eyes suddenly lit up, and then she interlaced her fingers and closed her eyes, but her long eyelashes were still fluttering.

"Miaomiao, don't peek!"

"Hehe! Daddy caught me! I won't peek anymore!"

Lu Qing'an smiled, then took out a small puppy whose fur had completely turned pink.

"Alright! Open your eyes!"

Lu Miaomiao quickly opened her eyes, and when she saw a dog about half her height squatting in front of her, all pink and tender, with big, clear eyes, she froze on the spot.

Immediately, something occurred to her, and she asked hesitantly and weakly:

"Daddy, are we having dog meat tonight? But Miaomiao doesn't like eating cute dogs..."

After he said that, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.

This child's first thought is always about food...

As for the Little Heaven-Swallowing Devil Beast in front of Lu Miaomiao, its body trembled.

Eat me??

ah???

Lu Qing'an was a little embarrassed, then affectionately ruffled his daughter's hair. "This isn't for you to eat, it's a pet Daddy gave you. It's actually a very powerful Devil Beast. Don't let its cute appearance fool you, it can actually transform! Come on, Xiao Tian, give my daughter a performance!"

"Woof woof!"

After barking twice, the Little Heaven-Swallowing Devil Beast Dog unleashed a dense burst of Demonic Qi, and its size increased to the size of a cow.

Although it was only a short time after its birth, thanks to Lu Qing'an's recent feeding, it now possesses a large amount of special bloodline, one of which is the transformation bloodline.

Moreover, his cultivation level had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

At this moment, the aura emanating from them is already quite powerful.

Lu Miaomiao blinked, then jumped up and clapped her hands excitedly.

"Father! Is this really the contracted beast he gave me?!"

This dog seems even stronger than that black cat!!

Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "Yes, from now on it will be both your contracted beast and your playmate. If anyone bullies you, it can even help you beat them up!"

"Wow!!! That's great!! Then, how do I form a contract?!" Lu Miaomiao looked impatient.

"Come on, let Daddy help you."

Lu Qing'an quickly formed a contract with Lu Miaomiao, and in an instant, Lu Miaomiao established a mental link with the Little Heaven-Swallowing Devil Beast.

"From now on, you can talk to it directly in your sea of consciousness. It can hear you. It can't speak human language yet, but it can convey its meaning to you in your sea of consciousness."

"Wow!!! Daddy! It's really talking to me! It even called me master!"

Seeing his daughter's delight, Lu Qing'an's face beamed with a fatherly smile.

That Great Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast was quite sensible; it gave him the little Devil Beast. If they meet again, the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast should be rewarded.

My daughter's happiness is worth more than the entire Cangyun Continent.
