Chapter 549 - 273: Daughter (Part 2)

Chapter 549: Chapter 273: Daughter (Part 2)

"I can say that even if I suddenly die, Wugen Ping won’t fall apart. Yun’er will take my place and become the new master of Ping."

"Actually, I’ve long wanted to retire, but apart from the Mist Traveling Boat, I don’t know where else I can go. I’ve gotten used to the days of wandering on this ship day in and day out."

"In the end, I can only hold onto a bit of hope, waiting silently to see if you will truly return one day..."

When Yin He spoke to the end, her tone was slightly choked up. Chu Xuan felt deeply pained and could only hold her and softly comfort her, saying, "My fault, my fault..."

The person in the dark also felt somewhat uncomfortable until Yin He suddenly said, "Yun’er, come out."

"You’ve been eavesdropping for so long, you should know the whole story by now. Come formally meet your father."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan was even more nervous than Chu Yun, who was hiding in the corner.

In fact, he had already noticed the presence of the other party, but initially, he thought the girl was simply worried about the master of Ping being bullied by outsiders, so she was secretly guarding with a sword.

Unexpectedly, she was his daughter?!

Damn it! I just "bullied" her mother right in front of the child. She saw it all clearly, leaving Chu Xuan feeling that his image as a father was completely destroyed.

No wonder Yin He wasn’t happy earlier after the kiss, pushing away his hand, not allowing him to touch her, because the daughter was watching, she was worried Chu Yun would have a bad impression of her father.

Just as Chu Xuan’s body stiffened, not knowing where to place his hands, a beautiful woman in a bright yellow dress walked out from the darkness, with tears in her eyes.

She just gave her mother and Chu Xuan a complex look, then turned and left without looking back.

Chu Xuan reached out, wanting to call her to stop, but couldn’t bring himself to say anything, feeling suddenly very down as he murmured to himself, "My daughter despises me."

Yin He sighed, "This girl always has a stiff and stubborn personality, I don’t know who she resembles. She probably inherited your bad temper."

Chu Xuan felt a headache coming on, "But I remember not being this stubborn."

Madam Yin He didn’t seem too worried, "You, don’t be too nervous, Yun’er may appear strong outwardly but is very soft-hearted inside. It’s normal for her not to accept the truth suddenly, it doesn’t mean she hates you."

"Let her process it slowly for a couple of days, then I’ll take you to see her, and you father and daughter can have a private talk."

Chu Xuan nodded repeatedly, "Then in these two days, don’t leave her alone to overthink, please help me look after her and say some nice things for me."

"I admit I’m lustful, I’m scum, but in other aspects, I feel that my actions since coming back to life are quite in line with the behavior of a righteous young hero."

"Oh right, please tell her that her father is going to save the world next, that he’s really a good person!"

Yin He covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Look at you, so nervous, doesn’t feel good being a new father, right?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, "It’s not that it feels bad, but indeed it’s my first time being a father, always feeling immature..."

Madam Yin He kissed him on the cheek, "Then you should stay by our sides from now on, don’t leave again, and properly take on the responsibilities of a father."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan didn’t quite know how to respond.

Certainly, he couldn’t let down Yin He and her daughter, but at the same time, he couldn’t let down other women and couldn’t say he’d stay on the Mist Traveling Boat forever without leaving.

Yin He understood immediately upon seeing his expression, so she unceremoniously poked his chest, saying:

"I knew you, this scoundrel, can’t let go of other women. Then take a step back, visiting often shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Chu Xuan immediately agreed, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come often to accompany you both."

Yin He secretly felt smug inside, having a daughter is indeed an advantage, other women can’t compare, can they? Let them also try to give birth to one!

Chu Xuan didn’t know how arrogant Yin He was feeling inside, he just suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, with Wugen Ping’s intelligence-gathering abilities, you should have known I was the Heavenly Evil long ago, right? But why didn’t you come to find me all these years?"

Chu Xuan actually asked Qing’er a similar question before but her mindset was different from normal people, she just wanted to wait for the right moment to lure Chu Xuan into her carefully laid trap, so she patiently waited.

Needless to say, Qing’er was ecstatic at that moment, so she’s not a reference.

Madam Yin He snorted lightly, "You heartless man, if I came to find you early, wouldn’t I have interrupted your new romance?"

"Just think, if I had really come with our daughter back then, would you still have gotten married?"

Though it wouldn’t have worked out anyway, Chu Xuan shuddered at the thought of Madam Yin He showing up with a ’love child’ at his wedding, in front of countless cultivators.

Yin He smiled sweetly, enjoying his expression, then said, "Actually, I wasn’t sure initially, even after rumors spread following the Hundred Flowers Banquet about Primordial Monarch Taixu having a past with you, I wasn’t a hundred percent certain, so I acted cautiously."

"Only at that wedding did I completely confirm you are the reincarnation or perhaps even the person of the Heavenly Evil."

"Then, I also considered whether or not to meet you and thoroughly take you over."

"But after thinking it through, I’d rather watch you, this scoundrel, suffer some more to vent my grievances from back then."

Initially, Madam Yin He was indeed drawn by interests—because Chu Xuan’s looks, personality, and scent suited her, she got involved with him. But over time, she was gradually moved by his genuine emotions.

Since there was genuine emotion, naturally she couldn’t tolerate this playboy, Chu Xuan, and it’s normal to have grievances.

"After all, I’m not in a hurry, I don’t believe you’d dare to abandon me, having waited so many years, watching how you steadily rise again is quite a joy in itself."

"Of course, I didn’t expect your true identity would be exposed so quickly in Gui Xu Grotto Heaven."

"From that point on, I wanted to find you so you wouldn’t be killed by the Shangguan family before you matured.

"But you hid too well, even though Wugen Ping tried its best to search, they couldn’t find you, hence why it dragged on till now."

Chu Xuan felt sentimental, nodding, "Thank you for your efforts."

"By the way, how did you come back to life??" Yin He puzzledly questioned, logically Chu Xuan should have been beyond dead back then.

Chu Xuan chuckled, explaining about the Six Souls Banner and Sun-Moon Time Compass.

Indeed, while Madam Yin He knew his true name back then, she didn’t know about the existence of the Soul Banner.

Even Qing’er had to find clues, cry, and create mayhem before she got this secret from Chu Xuan.

Madam Yin He was astounded upon hearing this, "Six Souls Banner? Innate treasure? Wait, did you tell other women this secret but not me?!"

"No no no," Chu Xuan quickly explained, "It’s not as you think, only one or two special cases."

Yin He cried and protested, "You heartless bastard, I was so good to you back then, giving myself and my organization to you, yet you guarded against me this way, willing to tell other lovers but not me. They are your true love, right? I’m unworthy..."

Chu Xuan felt a headache again, hastily hugging Yin He for comfort, making a bunch of ’unequal treaties’ to stop her feigned tears.

Madam Yin He puffed up and placed her hands at her waist, "Do you have anything else to hide from me? Speak clearly now or don’t blame me for being rude in the future."

Chu Xuan thought for a moment, "Indeed there is one thing, but rest assured, after I’ve settled a few major issues I’m dealing with, I’ll tell you all the secrets in my heart."
