“Huh, huh… She’s definitely my daughter, born with the talent to be a rascal!”
Just as Qiao San was about to chase after her, a fierce gust of wind blew from ahead. When the wind ceased, the little witch rolled right to Qiao San’s feet.
“Daughter, come let Mama hold you, giggles…”
With cheerful laughter, the graceful figure of Jade Fan Wu Shuang appeared gracefully. This mother truly was extraordinary; at first sight, she had stunned her daughter into complete rigidity, her face pale and lips bluish from shock. She exclaimed in genuine surprise, “Ah, my daughter, who bullied you? Tell Mama, and I’ll take revenge for you!”
“Waaah…” Qiao San was nearly driven to madness. Who would have thought such a mother-daughter pair could exist in this world? He could already envision his bleak future ahead!
Thus, the “family of three” was reunited. Princess Jade Fan joyfully examined Xiao Hongyun up and down before asking for the details.
It turned out that the little girl had been chased to the human realm by Yuan Shi Tian Wang. Infected by the impurities of the mortal world, and naturally mischievous, she had transformed into a demoness and lived quite freely and joyfully in the human world—until Qiao San captured her. The Ten Yang Qi had dispelled the impurities within Xiao Hongyun, returning her to her original form.
Listening nearby, Qiao San couldn’t help but interject with a scolding tone: “But you shouldn’t have burned people’s houses, looted their wealth, or taken over their women! That’s going too far!”
Qiao San’s throat tightened, nearly blurting out what he almost wanted to say next—such thrilling antics were something even this seasoned rogue had yet to pull off! How could the little girl get ahead of him? Sigh… Truly shameful!
“Waaah…” Just moments ago smiling like a blooming flower, the little girl now burst into tears, even more suddenly than her mother, ending with a counterattack: “Father never came to rescue me, and I was hungry too! I just asked those rich folks for something to eat, but they wanted to beat me up and kill me, so of course I had to fight back!”
Her sobbing mysteriously transformed into anger at some point. Xiao Hongyun tossed her braid defiantly in the wind and waved her cute, pink fists, continuing, “What’s even worse is that they falsely accused me of eating people! I only captured those women to get milk—after all, I’m a baby, and babies need milk to grow up big and strong!”
Qiao San was at a loss, unable to grasp the logic of a “baby.” Jade Fan, however, was delighted beyond words, “Giggles… My daughter, you did right! If they dare disrespect us, just show them who’s boss! Come here, Mama will feed you some milk.”
The demoness meant what she said. She had just begun to unbutton her outer robe when she suddenly stopped, then proudly declared, “Oh, I almost forgot—if I feed you, Mama’s figure will lose its shape. Daughter, let’s just capture a few wet nurses instead!”
Qiao San had been so overwhelmed today that he was nearly numb. Staring blankly at this highly abnormal mother and daughter, he hadn’t yet regained his senses when Jade Fan suddenly turned her gaze toward him.
“Daring rogue, don’t you have a fox girl servant with an endless supply of milk? Let her be our daughter’s wet nurse from now on!”
“This…”
Naturally, Qiao San refused. He was already unhappy with Jade Fan’s victorious tone. But the “innocent” gaze and pitiful tears from Xiao Hongyun tied his tongue in knots.
“Daddy, you… you don’t love your daughter, do you? Waaah… You never even looked at me when I was born, and I’ve been wandering alone since I was so small…”
The unfamiliar paternal feelings overwhelmed the rogue, making his tongue move without his control. He found himself nodding unconsciously, “Hongyun, be a good girl. Daddy will talk to your Twelfth Auntie when we get home!”
“Demoness! Daring to wreak havoc in the human world, surrender now!”
A loud, commanding shout interrupted the family’s playful moment. A pair of celestial lovers descended from the clouds—none other than the heroic Yuan Shi Tian Wang and the holy, beautiful Tai Yuan Yu Nu.
Behind the two immortals, a large group of human cultivators swarmed forth. However, they did not surround Qiao San but flew directly toward the Aolai Imperial Palace. Qiao San’s sharp gaze swept through the crowd and spotted Bei Gong Ping among them. Yet the Yin-Yang Divine Hunter lowered his eyes, clearly ashamed and unwilling to meet the rogue’s gaze.
It was a conspiracy—an enormous one, specifically designed for the two of them.
In an instant, Qiao San and Jade Fan understood the trickery involved.
Xiao Hongyun’s movements had certainly been under the surveillance of the heavenly realm all along. Yuan Shi Tian Wang was using the child as bait to lure out the Ten Yang Pearl and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons. Moreover, Jade Fan had intended to use the impurities of the human world to enhance her demonic powers. The heavenly realm, however, was no fool. They naturally wanted to stabilize the human world as soon as possible, but bound by the rules of the Three Realms, the hypocritical immortals had painstakingly orchestrated this entire scheme.
Yuan Shi Tian Wang floated forward gracefully, standing with his hands behind his back only a few steps from Qiao San. His smiling face bore no trace of hostility, yet an invisible pressure pressed heavily upon Qiao San, making it hard for him to breathe.
The rogue couldn’t help but inwardly startle, but his innate wildness immediately flared up. What was Yuan Shi Tian Wang anyway? No one could suppress the audacity of Qiao San!
Before the rogue could unleash his wild curses, a strange power suddenly surged from within him. A flash of light burst forth, enveloping Qiao San in a pure, radiant glow.
“Ahh!” From a distance, Tai Yuan Yu Nu and Princess Jade Fan simultaneously gasped in astonishment. For a moment, they almost mistook Qiao San and Yuan Shi Tian Wang for the same person!
A flicker of realization passed through Yuan Shi Tian Wang’s eyes. The leader of the Immortals truly smiled from the heart as he said, “Friend, I didn’t expect the Great Luo Blood Seal within you to remain intact. Hmm, I’ve changed my mind—just come with me to Zifu Mountain for cultivation, and I won’t bother you or your little demoness daughter anymore.”
For the Supreme Immortal of the Luo Sect to speak thus was an immense favor bestowed upon Qiao San. Yet the rogue had always been one who refused to drink politely offered wine. He curled his lips in a lazy, defiant smirk and scoffed, “Hehe… That’s too childish for me. No fun at all! I think you’d be better off joining me instead. Being a rogue beats being a god any day! Ha, ha…”
Qiao San’s arrogance was indeed unparalleled in the Three Realms. Now, it had only grown worse. As his words echoed, the little demon star actually jumped up joyfully, cheering, “Yay! Daddy is so awesome! Hongyun wants to be a rogue too!”
