[Synopsis]

Li Yuanbai had never known that the Chaos Technique he had cultivated for many years was actually called the Yin-Yang Chaos Technique, a dual cultivation method. Li Yuanbai didn't know whether he should find someone else or use the one in front of him now, his daughter.

Even without blood ties, she was still his daughter in name and in the eyes of the world. But love wasn't something that could be taken or given up so easily. Since he couldn't control it, he would defy fate, so what! Chapter 001 of "

The Daughter of the Li Family Has Grown Up ": "Dad, I'm back!" From afar, Li Yuanbai heard his daughter's joyful voice, but he couldn't see her. Looking up, he could vaguely see his daughter's skipping figure. "Where did you go to play again?" As his daughter approached, Li Yuanbai affectionately patted her head and pinched her nose. Her originally rosy face had become a mess in just one morning. "Dad, Er Gouzi and I went fishing." Wiping her face, Li Yi looked at her father with bright eyes. "Ya Ya is so amazing! Give the fish to Daddy, and Daddy will make fish soup for Ya Ya at noon." Li Yuanbai chuckled. Of course, he knew what his daughter had done. His daughter was his blood relative, and when she was born, he used their blood essence to create a father-daughter talisman. He could sense everything about his daughter, but teasing her like this was just a bit amusing. "Daddy, you don't know how smart those fish are. Ya Ya had just gone into the water and they all ran away. But Er Gouzi said he'd take Ya Ya to collect bird eggs this afternoon. Daddy, just wait a little longer, and we can eat bird eggs tonight." The girl, whose full name was Li Yiyi and nickname was Ya Ya, was afraid that her father would be disappointed if he didn't get fish soup, so she quickly told him another piece of good news. "Alright, Daddy's waiting. But, Ya Ya, have you finished your homework today?" Li Yuanbai winked at his daughter. He never cared how she played, but the prerequisite was that she had to finish the homework he assigned first. He remembered that his daughter would disappear as soon as she got up early in the morning. Unless she finished her homework yesterday, otherwise... Hmm? "Daddy, Ya Ya will do it now!" Ya Ya lowered her little head and stuck out her tongue secretly. Her father loved her very much, but he never relaxed about her homework. He would never agree to her not finishing it every day. "What time is it now?" Li Yuanbai pointed to the big tree next to him in the sky. "Ah! Daddy, Ya Ya will take a medicinal bath first, then do her homework!" Ya Ya exclaimed when she saw the tree shadow. Taking a medicinal bath three times a day was something she had done without fail since she was little. It was all Er Gouzi's fault. If he hadn't been so stupid and couldn't catch fish, she would have almost forgotten what she had to do every day! "Go on, Dad will make lunch." He ruffled his daughter's hair again before letting her leave. Watching her go, Li Yuanbai waved his hand, setting up the final arrangement, summoning the puppet mechanism, and methodically began doing everything in the room. Li Yuanbai chuckled to himself. If others knew that a high-level puppet mechanism was being used for mortal household chores, how many would beat their chests in despair, calling him a spendthrift and a waste of talent! But if mortals saw Li Yuanbai move things at will with a wave of his hand, they would surely kneel down and call him an immortal. Indeed, Li Yuanbai was an immortal in the eyes of mortals, and a cultivator in the eyes of fellow cultivators. As Elder Qingluo Zhenjun of the Taixu Sect, Li Yuanbai had been in the Nascent Soul stage for a hundred years. Although he couldn't compare to the extraordinary geniuses of the Liuli Continent, once a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul stage, they were someone who could roam freely on the Liuli Continent. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Li Yuanbai left his sect to travel the world in pursuit of a higher path of cultivation, seeking opportunities for advancement. Having traveled far and wide, Li Yuanbai arrived at Huayue Kingdom, a small country located in the southernmost part of the Liuli Continent. He didn't pay much attention to such a small country; immortals and demons were too far removed from it. Just as Li Yuanbai was preparing to move on to the next destination, an unexpected event occurred. Within Huayue Kingdom, there was a legendary immortal lake, said to grant those favored by an immortal the ability to ascend to heaven with them. Li Yuanbai investigated the lakeside, but found nothing unusual with his divine sense, assuming it was merely a story passed down by mortals. However, just as he was about to leave, a sudden disturbance arose from the bottom of the lake, and a demonic beast charged straight at him. Li Yuanbai gasped in shock. A ninth-tier demonic beast! A ninth-tier demonic beast was an existence that even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not ignore. It was already the highest-ranking demonic beast on the Liuli Continent, just one step away from ascension. How could Li Yuanbai underestimate such power, especially since he was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation just stabilizing? He could only retreat hastily. But facing a ninth-tier demonic beast, retreating was far from easy. It was clear the beast was coming for him, and Li Yuanbai understood. His so-called "following the immortals" was nothing but food for the beast! He couldn't retreat; he had to fight! After the battle, Li Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this ninth-tier demonic beast had only just advanced. If it were a peak ninth-tier beast, Li Yuanbai would have no chance of victory. The current situation was fifty-fifty, with each side having a 50% chance. He had to fight! In the end, at the cost of severe injuries, Li Yuanbai killed the demonic beast and obtained its inner core. Although severely injured, obtaining the inner core of a ninth-tier demon beast made Li Yuanbai's injuries worthwhile. However, Li Yuanbai hadn't expected his injuries to be far more severe than he anticipated. Most critically, this ninth-tier demon beast was a venomous serpent beast. The greatest use of low-tier venomous serpent beasts was for making aphrodisiacs specifically for cultivators, but a ninth-tier one... Li Yuanbai smiled bitterly. He knew that in addition to his severe injuries, he was deeply poisoned by the venomous serpent beast's aphrodisiac poison. The venomous serpent beast was a complete source of aphrodisiac ingredients—its skin, flesh, blood, and even its essence. If it were a low-tier beast, Li Yuanbai could forcibly detoxify it with his cultivation, but this was a high-tier one, and Li Yuanbai was severely injured, leaving him with no medicine or power to cure it. Chapter 002: Suppressing his injuries and the venomous serpent beast's aphrodisiac poison, Li Yuanbai forcefully circulated his internal energy, traveling swiftly. He urgently needed to find a safe place to seclude himself and heal his injuries. Unfortunately, fate was against him. Li Yuanbai had always known he wasn't favored by heaven. With only a single spiritual root, a mutated one, and even three spiritual roots, he couldn't gain the favor of the True Lords of the Taixu Sect to become their disciples when he first embarked on the path of cultivation. Without becoming a True Lord's disciple, he couldn't directly enter the inner sect, let alone become a personal disciple or elite disciple. He could only start as an outer disciple, climbing the ranks step by step, enduring hardships unimaginable to ordinary people. If it weren't for his unwavering dedication to cultivation, he wouldn't have reached this point. And now, clearly, luck had once again failed him. He couldn't hold on any longer, not only because of his injuries, but more importantly, because he could no longer suppress the aphrodisiac within his body. Collapsed in the overgrown grass, too weak to go any further, Li Yuanbai smiled bitterly. Had all his years of effort ultimately been in vain? "Are you alright?" Li Yuanbai had fallen into a coma. If the aphrodisiac wasn't cured soon, he would explode and die. Just then, he faintly heard a woman's voice. Her voice trembled slightly; she was afraid. Li Yuanbai struggled to maintain his last shred of sanity. His remaining consciousness told him that this was just an ordinary mortal woman. No, this woman couldn't withstand the primordial yang energy of a cultivator. Li Yuanbai tried to raise his hand to make her leave, but he couldn't. He was now on the verge of a trap; any further and he would transform into a wolf. "Can you hear me?" Heaven didn't hear him again. The woman, far from leaving out of fear, tried to help him, reaching out to lift him. But she didn't expect that this touch would cause Li Yuanbai to completely lose his mind. He abruptly opened his eyes, but they held no clarity, only lust. The aphrodisiac had finally erupted! "Ah!" the woman cried out in surprise, for Li Yuanbai had already flipped her over and pinned her beneath him. She tried to push the man off her; even in her ignorance, she knew such behavior between a man and a woman was improper. Unfortunately, how could a mortal woman possibly match the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, especially one afflicted with aphrodisiacs, his entire body brimming with power waiting to be unleashed? With a forceful pull, Li Yuanbai tore the woman's clothes to shreds, revealing her naked body, exuding the allure of virginity, beneath him.

"Let me go! Let me go!" The woman was truly panicked now. Even a fool would know what the man on top of her wanted to do. She struggled desperately, hoping to escape his humiliation, but it was utterly impossible.

Li Yuanbai, heavily poisoned by the aphrodisiac, waved his hand again, stripping off his clothes. When his already burning body pressed tightly against the woman's, a cool sensation followed. Li Yuanbai let out a soft moan. The aphrodisiac of the Grinding Serpent Beast could only be cured by a woman's yin energy. Now, with Li Yuanbai naked before the woman's body, he felt a long-awaited pleasure, like parched land receiving rain.

But this wasn't enough. For Li Yuanbai at this moment, it wasn't enough at all. From the moment he touched the woman's body, Li Yuanbai only demanded more and more. Li Yuanbai

placed his hands on the woman's breasts, kneading them incessantly. Feeling a protrusion in his hands, he directly took it into his mouth, sucking and swallowing with abandon. Li Yuanbai had cultivated for many years and had never been moved by love, but since most men in the world were naturally skilled in bed, he quickly lost the initial awkwardness.

"No, please, no!" The woman beneath him was already in tears. She knew that everything was already set in stone. She was angry at the man's humiliation and even more annoyed that she was starting to feel hot and bothered by his actions. Something seemed to be flowing out of her usually shameful vulva, making it slippery. She even hoped that the man would not stop and would go further.

This honey-like fluid flowing from the woman's body not only made the woman feel ashamed and angry, but also aroused Li Yuanbai. In particular, it made his penis even more aroused. A little clear fluid was already oozing from the head of the penis. Li Yuanbai could no longer care about anything else. He spread the woman's legs apart. The dark pubic hair on the woman's vulva was standing up, slippery, and shiny because of the honey-like fluid. Li Yuanbai's penis rubbed against the pubic hair and walked all the way to the source of the honey-like fluid at the vulva. Li Yuanbai's penis became even larger, as if it knew that this was the place it needed most.

"Ah—!" The air was thick with the scent of virginity. Li Yuanbai thrust himself into the woman's body, breaking her hymen. The woman cried out in pain, pounding on Li Yuanbai's body. She knew her innocence was gone, taken away by this man.

Chapter 003

Under normal circumstances, in normal sexual relations between men and women, as long as it's not forced, the man would consider the woman's discomfort at first and allow her a period of relief after entering her body. But at this moment, Li Yuanbai had completely lost his rationality. He only knew that the cool feeling after entering the woman's body was even stronger, and he wanted more. The heat inside him needed more coolness, so, impatiently, Li Yuanbai began to thrust harder and harder. Li Yuanbai couldn't care about anything else; he only knew that only in this way could the heat in his body dissipate.

With each violent thrust was the scream of the woman beneath him. Although she had been somewhat aroused, and her untouched virginity was moistened by the flow of fluids from her vagina, it was far from enough for a virgin.

"Ah—" Li Yuanbai roared like a beast as the woman screamed repeatedly. Li Yuanbai's Nascent Soul cultivation meant that this outdoor encounter couldn't end quickly, and the sounds lingered for a long, long time, sounding especially pitiful in the quiet forest meadow.

"Hmm—" But the woman slowly realized that her screams had changed, becoming more like lewd moans. Ashamed, she tried to turn away, no longer wanting to look at the man still relentlessly thrusting inside her, but his unwavering, intense thrusting made it impossible for her to turn or close her eyes. She could only stare at him.

The man wasn't particularly handsome. Even though she was just a village girl who hadn't seen many people, she knew he was only average-looking. Yet, looking at him now, she felt a strange stirring within her. This ordinary man possessed an undeniable quality. Even though she could feel his member filling her, looking at him still gave her a sense of ethereal emptiness, a feeling no one dared to look directly at. Even though they were engaged in passionate lovemaking in the wilderness, their debauchery extreme, his face flushed with desire and dripping with sweat, he still appeared as clear and pure as the sea, impossible to evoke any sense of impropriety.

The woman finally wrapped her arms around Li Yuanbai's neck, her body heating up along with his member. She was aroused.

But Li Yuanbai was unaware of all this. He only knew it wasn't enough, not enough. He wanted to send more heat into the woman's body, to let her cool him down.

"Ah!" Finally, after a long while, the man let out a final roar, and the woman cried out in response, both reaching their climax simultaneously.

"I'm sorry," Li Yuanbai finally regained his senses, but the intense lovemaking, fueled by the aphrodisiac, had exhausted his last bit of strength. His previously damaged true energy could no longer circulate. Li Yuanbai only had time to say sorry to the woman beneath him before he could no longer hold on and fainted.

The woman clung tightly to Li Yuanbai, her heaving chest indicating that the flush from the pleasure had not yet faded. Hearing Li Yuanbai's apology, the woman was stunned. Why was he like this? He had taken her so roughly, yet he apologized afterwards. The woman didn't understand how she felt at that moment, and she was too weak to think anymore. She didn't even have the strength to leave. She could only hold the man and drift off to sleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed before the woman slowly woke up. Looking up, she saw that it was already getting dark. She had left home that morning to look for some wild mushrooms. Who would have thought that so much would happen to her in just one day?

Feeling the breathing of the person beside her, the woman looked up. The man was still unconscious. She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but then she saw the wounds on his body. He was injured. When she noticed him, he was covered in blood. She hadn't expected the wounds under his clothes to be so severe. She nudged him, but he remained unconscious.

The woman stared at Li Yuanbai for a long time, finally seeming to make up her mind. She carried him on her back, then covered them both with Li Yuanbai's large clothes, and slowly moved towards her home.

Chapter 004

Li Yuanbai fell into a coma after that lovemaking. In fact, for a cultivator, decades or even centuries of secluded cultivation are not unusual. If one cannot even endure this little bit of loneliness, how can one seek the Great Dao? Li Yuanbai's previous plan was to find a safe place while he was still conscious and then seclude himself to heal his wounds. He didn't care how many years it would take. Once a cultivator enters the Nascent Soul stage, their lifespan reaches two thousand years. As a newly entered Nascent Soul cultivator, time was the least of his worries.

Li Yuanbai hadn't expected the aphrodisiac to be so potent, causing his injuries to become uncontrollable. It struck before he could even make any arrangements, and coupled with an unexpected lovemaking session, Li Yuanbai lost control of his body and fell into a coma. His body then began a self-healing phase. Only when his body recovered enough to support his consciousness would Li Yuanbai regain his senses, but he didn't know how long that would take.

The woman never expected that her pity for Li Yuanbai, stemming from his apology, would lead her to save him. Nor did she expect that the person she saved would remain unconscious. The woman was an ordinary village girl; her parents died before she reached school age, and she was adopted by her uncle. However, how could he treat her like his own daughter? Furthermore, her aunt deliberately made things difficult for her. Fortunately, her parents' house hadn't been reclaimed by the clan before their deaths. Although dilapidated, it was still a place to live, but only a place to live. The woman had done all she could. As for Li Yuanbai's injuries, she couldn't afford a doctor. She was already struggling to make ends meet; where would she find the money to hire a doctor? Li Yuanbai possessed nothing except the ring on his hand. The woman had hesitated to take the ring and exchange it for money, but ultimately didn't. In fact, even if she wanted to, she couldn't. It was Li Yuanbai's storage ring, refined by him. Unless Li Yuanbai died and his consciousness was erased, it was impossible to remove.

And so, the days passed, and Li Yuanbai still showed no signs of waking up. The woman grew increasingly panicked because she discovered she was pregnant. She didn't know what to do and could only endure each day while praying that Li Yuanbai would wake up soon. Unconsciously, the woman had come to regard Li Yuanbai as her only support.

"Wah—!" The baby's cry rang out as the woman's child was born. However, the woman's eyes were fixed on the direction of the house next door; was he still not awake?

"Lan Ya, come see your child. It's a girl." Lan Ya was the woman's name. Although having a child out of wedlock was shameful, the villagers mostly pitied Lan Ya's circumstances. Otherwise, she wouldn't have survived the last few months. How could a heavily pregnant woman live? On the day of delivery, she relied on the village aunties to help her give birth.

Meanwhile, in the next house, Li Yuanbai's eyelids twitched. Li Yuanbai had finally woken up. Looking around, he had no idea where he was. He checked his injuries, frowning; they were still severe. His true energy couldn't circulate. Why had he woken up?

A baby's cry interrupted Li Yuanbai's thoughts, reminding him of the foolish things he had done before losing consciousness. Could it be...?

Li Yuanbai could only think of one possibility: only a blood connection could awaken him.

Although she couldn't circulate her true energy or cultivate, she was no different from an ordinary person. Li Yuanbai got out of bed and followed the sound. Upon entering, he saw Lan Ya, who had just given birth, and his bloodline—a child connected to him by blood, a daughter.

"You, you're finally awake!" Lan Ya exclaimed in surprise. He was finally awake!

"Lan Ya, this is the child's father. Now you've finally overcome your suffering. The child's father is cured, and the child has been born. Live a good life from now on. Lan Ya, what, what happened? Everything was fine, how could this be?" The aunt who came to help panicked. The person who was fine just now was getting weaker and weaker.

"My child, my child, you will take good care of her, right?" Lan Ya seemed to understand that her life was slipping away little by little. She stared at Li Yuanbai, waiting for his promise. The child had no mother and no father. How could this child survive?

"Yes, I, Li Yuanbai, will ensure the child's well-being for life!" Li Yuanbai swore to Lanya. Lanya's early death was his responsibility. How could a mortal withstand the primordial energy of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Unfortunately, Li Yuanbai was severely injured and unable to channel his energy to Lanya. Now, being like an ordinary person, he had no power to save Lanya's life. All he could do was take good care of the child and put her mind at ease. Besides, this was her child, and also his child. This was fate, and also karma. How could he turn a blind eye?

"Thank you!" Li Yuanbai, Lanya gently bit the words and closed her eyes, a smile on her face.

Chapter 005

Since she was his daughter, he naturally had to take care of her. After burying Lan Ya, Li Yuanbai settled down in Lan Family Village with his daughter. He named her Li Yiyi, his only daughter. The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the lower the chance of having offspring. Unexpectedly, he had a daughter by chance. He gave her the nickname Ya Ya, so that she would remember her mother. He felt sorry for her but couldn't help her. At this moment, he could only silently recite the Rebirth Mantra for her, wishing her wealth and glory in her next life. He

took his daughter's essence and blood and fused it with his own, planting the Heart-to-Heart Mantra on both of them. From then on, father and daughter were connected by heart. He could know everything his daughter did, and he could sense her danger immediately. Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, his daughter had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate. He did this only hoping that his daughter would live a peaceful life. A mortal's life is only a short hundred years in the eyes of a cultivator. What did it matter if he accompanied his daughter through it?

Prior to this, Li Yuanbai, a disciple of the Taixu Sect, had always cultivated with utmost purity and tranquility, free from desires and attachments. The Taixu Sect was the leading cultivation sect on the continent of Liuli, and such a cultivation method was naturally the most orthodox practice for righteous individuals. Each advancement was made easier by this method, allowing cultivators to easily overcome their inner demons. However, every advantage has its disadvantages; lacking emotion and desire also meant less enlightenment. Cultivation always involves both opportunity and danger; often, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. A smooth path certainly reduces danger, but it also reduces opportunity. People typically grow up amidst danger and hardship. Therefore, Li Yuanbai's cultivation stalled after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. One reason was his lack of understanding of emotions and desires, let alone comprehending the seven emotions and six desires. Without understanding, how can one comprehend? Without comprehending the Great Dao, progress in the Nascent Soul realm is impossible. Perhaps some who achieve great success maintain a pure heart throughout, but that's a privilege reserved for those with exceptional talent. Clearly, Li Yuanbai was never one of those. Therefore, he had to return to his roots, seeking his own Great Dao step by step through comprehension.

Raising and caring for his daughter fulfilled their father-daughter bond and also reflected Li Yuanbai's character. He followed his feelings, adapting to circumstances. As long as one has the Dao in their heart, cultivation is possible anywhere. This has always been Li Yuanbai's cultivation philosophy: follow the Dao, go with the flow. Although the spiritual energy in the mortal realm cannot compare to that of the cultivation world, cultivation is still possible, especially in terms of mental cultivation—it's the same everywhere.

After settling in Lanjia Village, Li Yuanbai decided not to reveal his true identity to his daughter since she was unable to cultivate. He simply taught her according to the ways of ordinary people, focusing on literacy and life skills, hoping she could live a peaceful and carefree life for a hundred years – a kind of happiness in itself.

For the first two years, Li Yuanbai cared for his daughter while healing his injuries. When his daughter turned three, the true energy within Li Yuanbai finally began to circulate again. Although not fully healed, Li Yuanbai was no longer an ordinary person, and with his true energy circulating, the recovery from his injuries was just around the corner. After resuming his cultivation, Li Yuanbai returned to the Immortal Lake. The appearance of a ninth-tier demon beast in the mortal realm was sure to bring treasures. Sure enough, Li Yuanbai found a fruit, but…

"What am I supposed to do with this?" Li Yuanbai closed the jade box and smiled bitterly. This was a Yin-Yang Fruit, and one that was over a thousand years old. It seemed that the ninth-tier demon beast had reached such a high rank because it had been consuming Yin-Yang Fruits. If it were a dual cultivator, they would be overjoyed, as consuming a single Yin-Yang Fruit could instantly elevate their cultivation level. It had always been a coveted item among dual cultivators. However, now that it was in Li Yuanbai's hands, he neither practiced dual cultivation techniques nor had a dual cultivation partner. The Yin-Yang Fruit was useless to him.

He tossed the jade box containing the Yin-Yang Fruit into his storage ring, feeling both amused and exasperated. He had been severely injured, yet he had only obtained this one thing!

"Father, what are we eating today?" Ya Ya's voice came from the next room.

"What does Ya Ya want to eat?" Li Yuanbai shook his head. This girl, even while soaking in her medicinal bath, was still thinking about food. If there was one thing about Li Yuanbai that made his daughter act strangely, it was probably the medicinal baths. From a young age, Li Yuanbai had made his daughter soak in medicinal baths three times a day without fail. His daughter couldn't cultivate, but he could always help her strengthen her body and broaden her meridians. Li Yuanbai knew that anything was possible. If his daughter were to have an opportunity one day to develop an inner spiritual root, it wouldn't be impossible. So, it was always good for him to prepare in advance. Even if there wasn't such an opportunity, it wouldn't be bad for his daughter to live a life free from illness and pain.

"Ya Ya likes everything Daddy makes. Daddy, let's have mushrooms for lunch today." She knew this; she had seen mushrooms in the kitchen as soon as she entered.

"Daddy has already stewed them, chicken stew with mushrooms." Li Yuanbai smiled. She had said she liked everything before, but he had raised his daughter himself, so how could he not know what she was thinking? If you really took it seriously, she would definitely pout. The last sentence was the key point.

Chapter 006

Li Yiyi felt joy upon hearing her father's reply from outside. She was overjoyed to be reborn as a human and receive the fatherly love she had longed for. Yes, she was the most popular transmigrator these days. It was fortunate that Li Yuanbai had lost all his cultivation at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about his daughter. Li Yiyi's past life was very similar to Lan Ya's current life. Her parents died in a car accident, and she barely survived on the help of relatives. After reaching adulthood, due to her low education level, she could only work odd jobs here and there to make ends meet, and then she followed in her parents' footsteps. Finally, she opened her eyes again and was born into this life.

Losing her mother's love at birth, Yiyi was heartbroken. Only after losing something do you realize the happiness of having it. She desperately longed for her parents' love. At first, Yiyi was more worried about her father. Compared to her father, the infant was more dependent on her mother. But three years had passed, and Yiyi even thanked God for giving her such a father. She never knew what her mother looked like; her mother had passed away before she even had a chance to open her eyes. But thankfully, she still had her father.

Raising her, her father went from clumsy to skilled. During the day, he would hold her and sit under the big tree in the yard, gently rocking her, watching the seasons pass. At night, he would place her beside him, gently patting her back to lull her to sleep, watching the sun, moon, and stars. Although she was small, she could already feel her father's deep love for her. Only by her father's side could she sleep peacefully, letting down her guard. Her heart, which had wandered all her life, finally found a harbor to rest in. Her father's embrace was the warmth she longed for most.

When she grew a little older and could call him "Daddy," she saw the excitement in his eyes. The daughter he had raised could finally call him "Daddy." When her father held her hand and taught her to read and write, her heart was filled with the same emotion. This was her father, her most beloved father.

"Ya Ya, it's time. You can come out now." Li Yuanbai's voice came from outside the door. The medicinal bath had to be timed; too much or too little wouldn't work.

"Dad, I know!" Inside the door, Ya Ya stood up, wiped herself, and prepared to get dressed. But when she saw the clothes she had just taken off, Ya Ya was speechless—they were so dirty! Usually, Ya Ya would wear her old clothes back for her midday herbal bath, only changing into new ones at night. But now, was

she going to wear them again? Ya Ya felt that even as a child, she should be a clean child. Ya Ya was so lively now, always climbing trees or catching fish in the water, partly to give herself a childhood without regrets in this second life, and partly because she didn't want her father to worry; she was just an ordinary child.

But now, looking at her clothes, almost unrecognizable in their filth, Ya Ya's lips twitched. Had she become addicted to being a child?

"Dad!" Helpless, Ya Ya could only call out to her father again; she simply couldn't bear to wear these dirty clothes anymore.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuanbai shook his head again. His daughter was sometimes too lively, unlike him at all. He remembered being quiet as a child. Could she be like his mother? Unfortunately, he knew nothing about that woman.

"Dad, could you bring me some clothes? I forgot." Inside the room, Ya Ya smiled happily, not caring at all that she had forgotten. With her dad there, she didn't need to worry about anything.

"Okay." Li Yuanbai sighed. He was getting better and better at being a father.

However, this made Li Yuanbai think of something else. His daughter was only three years old, and it was fine for them to pass clothes to each other like this while sleeping together intimately. After all, the child didn't have a mother, and only he, as her father, could do these things. But as the child grew older, it wouldn't be appropriate to do this anymore. It seemed it was time to find someone to take care of her.

"Ya Ya, I've brought the clothes. Hurry up and put them on so we can eat." Having made his decision, Li Yuanbai took the clothes into the room, handed them to his daughter, and prepared to leave.

"Dad, don't you love Ya Ya anymore?" His daughter frowned, looking pitifully at Li Yuanbai by the tub.

"Okay, get up quickly, Dad will help you dress." What could Li Yuanbai do? He could only accept his fate, picked up his naked daughter, and helped her dress, piece by piece.

"Daddy, you're the best!" Ya Ya sat on her father's lap, squirming happily.

"Don't move!" Unexpectedly, Ya Ya's squirming caused Li Yuanbai to groan. He quickly pressed down on his daughter's restless body. Li Yuanbai's mind went blank. What was wrong with him?

Chapter 007

Ya Ya sat on Li Yuanbai's lap, thankfully with her back to him. Her little face was already flushed red. Her little body was also being held forward by her father, sitting on his lap. Of course, she knew why her father was doing this. Just now, she had accidentally brushed against her father's... his crotch. How embarrassing!

"Alright." After helping his daughter get dressed, Li Yuanbai put her down. Li Yuanbai couldn't see his daughter's shy expression, and Ya Ya naturally didn't see the change in Li Yuanbai's expression just a moment ago. Li Yuanbai hadn't expected that he, who was supposed to be abstinent, would actually react to his daughter's unintentional brush. He sighed inwardly. His mistake was the aphrodisiac he had taken years ago. One night of passion had broken his virginity; it would be difficult to remain abstinent forever.

Fortunately, Li Yuanbai was open-minded. He figured he could just find a suitable Daoist partner. When he was without desire, he enjoyed solitude; when he had desire, he would follow it. There was nothing wrong with finding a Daoist partner.

Thinking this way, Li Yuanbai felt relieved. Taking good care of his daughter was his priority now. As for a Daoist partner, there was no rush; he could deal with it when he met the right one. Although he had lost his virginity and had desires, it didn't mean he couldn't live without women. In matters of love, Li Yuanbai also pursued a perfect union of body and soul; otherwise, even the most stimulating pleasure would be tasteless in his eyes.

"Daddy, hug me!" she cried, reaching out for her father to hug her. She was only three years old; acting cute and innocent wasn't shameful.

Ya Ya also recovered from her earlier shyness. Although she wanted to have her father all to herself, she knew that such thoughts were too selfish and unfair to him. She had her father to take care of her, but who would take care of him? Her father should also remarry and have a new bride to take care of him.

"Okay, Daddy's carrying you. Come on, let's eat!" Li Yuanbai affectionately pinched his daughter's nose, picked her up, and carried her outside. This was his daughter, and he truly doted on her.

As for what had just happened, neither father nor daughter cared. How could Li Yuanbai overthink his three-year-old daughter? Her father, such a good man, was alone; who knew his suffering? Ya Ya didn't think much of it either; instead, she felt even more pity for her father's hardships.

"Li Yuanbai, can't you hold back?" That night, after his daughter's medicinal bath, Li Yuanbai also soaked in the tub. This wasn't the cultivation world, where a cleansing spell could cleanse him completely. This was the mortal realm, and because of his daughter, Li Yuanbai simply began to live the life of an ordinary person: eating, sleeping, and bathing.

Originally, cultivators stopped eating after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Firstly, their bodies no longer needed it, and secondly, while spiritual grains were better, mortal food would only increase the impurities in their bodies. Cultivation was about gradually improving the purity of the body, so there was no way to increase it instead of decreasing it. However, Li Yuanbai didn't care. Although he ate with his daughter, he didn't eat much. Once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, these effects were basically gone, and it wouldn't be a problem when he started cultivating. Later, Li Yuanbai accidentally discovered that he actually had spiritual grain seeds in his storage ring. So he simply cleared out a plot of land in the backyard and planted them, setting up an illusion. Although the spiritual energy in the mortal world was insufficient, and the effects of spiritual grains were not as good as those in the cultivation world, it was still much better than mortal food.

Although Li Yuanbai's natural talent was average, he was born into a family of cultivators. This was truly his first time living as a mortal, and his first time completely relaxing. Here, in the mortal realm, he possessed absolute power, unlike in the cultivation world where he dared not relax his cultivation for a moment. In the cultivation world, strength represented everything; only by becoming stronger could one go further.

However, here, while Li Yuanbai didn't abandon his cultivation, he didn't need to worry about any external threats. There were none here. Although the spiritual energy was insufficient, Li Yuanbai wasn't in a hurry. Entering the Nascent Soul stage was something he could achieve with his talent; he had never considered that a hundred years could be used to consolidate his realm.

However, now, Li Yuanbai looked down at his little brother underwater. Had he been too idle for too long? His little brother was showing off. Having tasted the sweetness once, it had become unsatisfied. "You want to live a life of asceticism? I won't allow it."

Chapter 008

"I can't resist, I have to endure it!" Looking at his erect penis, Li Yuanbai slapped it, making it tremble. Li Yuanbai chuckled; wasn't this just torturing himself?

He closed his eyes and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra. "Brother, just bear with it a little longer." With each repetition of the mantra, Li Yuanbai finally dispelled his desire, and his penis temporarily went limp.

Li Yuanbai got up and put on his clothes, sighing inwardly. It seemed he absolutely had to find a partner.

"Daddy—!" As soon as he came out of the bathroom and entered the inner room, his daughter rushed towards him, her soft, sweet voice ringing out.

"Still not asleep? If you don't come to see Daddy tomorrow, I'll spank your little bottom!" Li Yuanbai bent down and picked up his daughter, his face full of loving smiles. Although his daughter was mortal, he didn't want her to live an ignorant life. He trained her in physical exercises and taught her to read, leaving no stone unturned. Although it was hard on his daughter, it was better than her becoming an ignorant village woman. No matter how ordinary his daughter was, she was still his daughter, and he wouldn't allow her to be as brash and rude as an ignorant village woman.

"Ya Ya will wait for Daddy. Ya Ya will do everything carefully every day, so Daddy doesn't need to worry about Ya Ya." Her little hands tightly wrapped around her father's neck. Ya Ya thanked God again for giving her a second

chance at life, for she once again had the fatherly love she had longed for. "Good, Ya Ya is Daddy's good child. Ya Ya will study hard. There will be more and more things to learn in the future. Is Ya Ya afraid of hardship or fatigue?" Li Yuanbai gently pinched his daughter's nose. He didn't hide anything from his daughter. From the time she was old enough to understand, Li Yuanbai would tell her everything, teaching her to think and judge. Loving his daughter didn't mean spoiling her.

"Ya Ya isn't afraid, Ya Ya loves learning." Ya Ya's little eyes blinked. She wasn't afraid of learning, only of not being able to learn.

"Good, our Ya Ya is ambitious and a smart child!" Li Yuanbai was very satisfied with his daughter's answer. Only with the desire to learn can one have the motivation to learn and learn better.

"Daddy is a smart daddy too!" Without such a smart daddy, even the smartest daughter would become dull.

"Hehe, let's go, Ya Ya is going to sleep!" He carried his daughter into her room, intending to put her back on the bed.

"Daddy, Ya Ya wants to sleep with Daddy!" But his daughter clung to him and wouldn't let go.

"Okay, Ya Ya will sleep with Daddy." Turning around, Li Yuanbai carried his daughter into his own room. His daughter was still young, only three years old, so it wasn't inappropriate for her to sleep with him. No matter how sensible his daughter was, her age was still there; she was still his most dependent little Ya Ya. What

Li Yuanbai didn't expect was that while his daughter's dependence on him was true, it had nothing to do with age.

"Daddy, sweet dreams!" Ya Ya snuggled into Li Yuanbai's arms, closing her eyes contentedly. Her father's embrace was the warmest.

"Ya Ya, sweet dreams too!" He pulled the blanket over her. With his daughter beside him, Li Yuanbai couldn't cultivate, so he decided to sleep with her.

In the middle of the night, Li Yuanbai opened his eyes and looked at his daughter, who was nestled in his arms. He sighed inwardly. What was wrong with him today? Luckily, his daughter was still young and didn't know anything. He closed his eyes and continued to silently recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra. The reason was simple: his little brother was restless again.

"Ya Ya, how about Daddy finds you a maid to keep you company?" In the morning, while the father and daughter were eating breakfast, Li Yuanbai remembered this. If his daughter agreed, he planned to buy her a maid.

"No!" Ya Ya blurted out without thinking.

Li Yuanbai was stunned. He hadn't expected his daughter to object. Didn't children all like playmates?

"Ya Ya only wants Daddy!" Putting down her chopsticks, Ya Ya ran to Li Yuanbai and hugged him tightly. She knew her father wanted to buy a servant to look after her, but only one voice in her heart screamed: she didn't want that! She didn't want anyone to disturb her and her father's life, not even a servant!

This urgency surprised even herself. When had she become so dependent on her father? Only three years, and he had become so important to her. No matter how good her father was, she knew there would come a day when she would have to leave him. Before, Ya Ya thought it was normal, but now she couldn't even bear to think about it. What would she do without her father? Was it really because she had longed for family for so long? Ya Ya couldn't figure it out herself.

I'm shamelessly asking for votes! Give me votes!

Chapter 009

"Doesn't Ya Ya want someone to keep her company?" Li Yuanbai thought that children all liked having someone to accompany them, especially someone around their own age. After all, although he was Ya Ya's father, how could his daughter tell him all her secrets?

"No, Ya Ya only needs her father!" No matter the reason, Ya Ya didn't understand or want to know. She just didn't want anyone else; she only wanted her father!

"Okay, no, Ya Ya can tell her father when she wants someone." He pinched his daughter's nose again. He let his daughter do as she pleased. The family didn't need any servants. He was only thinking of buying a maid because he was afraid his daughter would be lonely. If she didn't want one now, he wouldn't buy one. He would buy one when she wanted one.

"No, no, Ya Ya will never want one! Ya Ya only wants her father!" They didn't need any servants in their family!

Wait, their family? Ya Ya slapped her forehead. No wonder she felt something was off about her home. It was here. There were no servants, only her father, yet the house was cleaner and tidier than anyone else's. Also, she had never seen her father do any work, but every mealtime, the food was always ready. Her father would always prepare it in advance, but she had never seen him cook. Furthermore, although they didn't have land to grow rice, there was some wasteland in the backyard where her father grew some vegetables. However, although her father said he grew them, she had never seen him go to the fields to tend to them. The family's livelihood depended on her father going into the mountains to hunt. They never lacked game, but she had never seen her father hunt. Every time her father said he was going hunting in the morning, he would return in the afternoon with a full load. But don't forget, she was an adult disguised as a three-year-old child. There wasn't a speck of dust on her father's face or clothes. How could someone who went into the mountains be so clean?

Although there were strange occurrences, Ya Ya had never connected the dots. But now, a single question from her own mind made everything fall into place: Father, who exactly was her father?

Sitting under the big tree in the courtyard, Ya Ya began to let her imagination run wild. A reclusive master? A high-ranking official? A scion of a noble family?

If that were the case, what if her father wanted to go back someday? Thinking of the servants constantly surrounding her, Ya Ya felt a pang of worry. She had never been a person of great ambition; in her past life, her only thought was to live well. In this life, it was the same. She knew she couldn't handle the complex relationships, and secretly, she preferred her current lifestyle. Her father never said anything, but she knew their family was well-off, content with their modest wealth. She also preferred the life she shared with her father—just the two of them, without any servants or maids.

She didn't want to know what kind of person her father was; she just wanted this life to continue.

"Ya Ya, didn't you go out to play today?" Just as I was thinking this, Aunt Lan Hua from the village led in an aunt who was about the same age as her.

"Aunt Lan Hua, Ya Ya hasn't finished her homework yet, so she won't be going out today." Ya Ya stood up and welcomed Aunt Lan Hua into the house. After Li Yuanbai settled in Lanjia Village, due to his nature, he didn't interact much with the villagers. However, after Ya Ya became sensible, she often went out to play and got to know everyone in the village. Although there were some people like Uncle Lan Ya's family who didn't like her, most people were kind to Ya Ya. As a child who had lost her mother at a young age, anyone with a conscience would feel sorry for her. Aunt Lan Hua was one of them. Aunt Lan Hua knew that Li Yuanbai didn't interact much with the villagers, but whenever Ya Ya came to visit, she would always talk to the child and give her some snacks. Although everyone in the village now knew that Ya Ya's father was skilled and made a good living by hunting, and that he wouldn't let the child suffer, this was everyone's way of showing their love for the child. Over time, although Li Yuanbai wasn't good at socializing, he knew how to reciprocate. Sometimes he would specially hunt pheasants or rabbits to give back to her. As a result, everyone treated Ya Ya even better.

However, while Ya Ya welcomed Aunt Lan Hua, she disliked the person who came with her. The person's eyes darted around as soon as they entered, seemingly searching for something. Ya Ya was also puzzled. Everyone knew her father preferred quiet, so villagers rarely visited their home. But today, Aunt Lan Hua had brought a stranger; something must be wrong, though she didn't know what it was.

"Ya Ya, where's your father?" Aunt Lan Hua was also somewhat troubled. Li Yuanbai had lived in the village with her daughter for three years; she knew his personality well. She was simply obliged, and this person had some connection to her family, making it difficult to refuse.

Fortunately, it wasn't a bad thing, at least that's what Aunt Lan Hua thought.

Chapter 010

"Ya Ya is so good! Aunt Lan Hua is giving you candy. By the way, Ya Ya, is your father home? Aunt Lan Hua has something to tell you." Aunt Lan Hua patted the child's head. Ya Ya was unique in this village. It was common for boys to go to school. Which family that could afford it wouldn't send their son to school? If the child was smart and hardworking, he might become an official in the future, which would be a great thing. Even if he didn't, he could still find a good job after learning to read. But it was different for girls. What use was it for a girl to study so well? Once she reached a certain age, she would get married and become someone else's wife. Besides, what was the point of girls learning these things? Could they take the imperial examinations? Since... Yes, and there was no need for her to learn, so Aunt Lanhua had never seen a village where girls were taught to read. Ya Ya was the first. It could be said that Aunt Lanhua had never seen a family put so much effort into their daughter. Ya Ya's clothes, accessories, and food were all top-notch in the village. Aunt Lanhua even thought she was just like the young ladies of wealthy families in the town and county. Oh, and what was most surprising was that Ya Ya always carried money with her, although it was only a few copper coins, but in the village, it was enough for a child. My God, that was Aunt Lanhua's first reaction. Who would see a child carrying money? Not even a boy! And

that wasn't all. Most importantly, her father also made Ya Ya read and write. Ya Ya had homework every day. At first, no one knew, but when Gou Dan went to play with Ya Ya, she said she hadn't finished her homework. When everyone found out, the whole village was shocked again. Was this raising a daughter or a princess? From the inside out, nothing was neglected.

"Father's not here, he's gone out." Ya Ya took the candy from Aunt Lan Hua and put it in her mouth. Although the taste was just average, and not as good as the ones her father gave her, it had a simple, rustic flavor—it was homemade by Aunt Lan Hua's family.

"Gone! Did he say when he'd be back?" Before Aunt Lan Hua could speak, another woman who had come with her interrupted, her tone urgent. She felt Li Yuanbai was getting a huge loss with Ya Ya; no matter how good a girl is, she'll always belong to someone else, so why go to all this trouble?

"I don't know, Father didn't say." Ya Ya frowned, disliking this woman even more—sneaky-looking, with a nasty tone.

"He must have gone hunting. Let's come back another day." Aunt Lan Hua deduced that hunting would take at least a whole day, and it wasn't even noon yet, so it was impossible to see him now.

Besides knowing that Li Yuanbai was literate and doted on his daughter, the villagers also knew that he made a living by hunting, and was quite skilled at it. He lived a comfortable life, belonging to the better-off group in the village, never worrying about food or clothing.

"Ya Ya, Aunt Lan Hua is leaving." Patting Ya Ya's head, Aunt Lan Hua led the group out of Ya Ya's yard.

The woman who had come with her left without a word.

Ya Ya watched their departing figures. What did Aunt Lan Hua want with her father? Most importantly, who was the person she was leading? Ya Ya's eyes darted around, and she quietly followed.

"Aunt Lan Hua, take a break. Oh dear, why does the Li family live so far away?" The woman who had come with Aunt Lan Hua, after walking for a while, saw a rock under a big tree in the village and plopped down on it.

Sure enough, Ya Ya nodded to herself and quietly went around to the back of the tree.

"Aunt Tao, you don't know, Lan Ya's parents used to have a thatched house there. Later, after Lan Ya's parents passed away, her uncle's family didn't like her, so Lan Ya moved to the thatched house. After that, her family settled there." Aunt Lan Hua sat down and patiently told Aunt Lan Hua about Lan Ya's family history.

"A thatched house?" Aunt Tao looked at Aunt Lan Hua in surprise. What she saw today wasn't a thatched house, but a proper brick and tile house, just like the houses of wealthy families in the town and county.

"That was before. The current house was rebuilt by Lan Ya's father." Speaking of Lan Ya's house, Aunt Lan Hua's eyes couldn't hide her envy. In this village, only a few families could afford brick and tile houses; most lived in mud houses, and the poorest could only live in thatched houses.

"That Li family man is really capable." Aunt Tao's eyes flashed as she thought of the courtyard she had just seen.

"Of course, it's a pity Lan Ya wasn't lucky. If Lan Ya were still here, the couple's life would be so much better." Aunt Lan Hua sighed.

“Everyone has their own fate. Lan Ya suffers, but so does everyone else. Heaven have mercy, how can a grown man raise a child alone? Without a loving and caring woman, what kind of home is this? The man is in charge of external affairs, the woman manages the household. Without a woman, what chaos would this house be in?” Aunt Tao spoke with great enthusiasm. Ya Ya, listening from behind the tree for a long time, already had a vague idea of what was going on.

“Aunt Tao, you must help Ya Ya find a husband. Don’t let the child suffer.” Thinking of something, Aunt Lan Hua added, still worried.

“Who do you think I am? You can rest assured,” Aunt Tao said, but inwardly she was dismissive. Once a man has a wife and son, who would care about a girl?

Ya Ya would be a fool not to know why Aunt Lan Hua and Aunt A Tao had brought her to the house. Ya Ya didn't care which family they were arranging marriages for; all she knew was that her father was getting married again, and there would be a stepmother in the family. From then on, her father wouldn't belong to her alone anymore; he would belong to her stepmother, and in the future, to her younger siblings.

Ya Ya bit her lip tightly, not knowing what this feeling was. She stood motionless behind the tree, not caring when Aunt Lan Hua and the others left. She only heard a voice growing louder and louder in her heart and mind:

No! She didn't want a stepmother, she didn't want younger siblings, she only wanted her father!

I'm begging for votes!

Chapter 011

Is Dad Really Getting Married? Although Ya Ya was shocked by the news she heard behind the tree, she still had to finish her daily tasks. Otherwise, no matter how late it was or what was going on after her father returned, she would have to catch up. It was better to calm down and do it proactively. Even if she couldn't concentrate completely and her studies weren't effective, she still had to finish them—it would be a waste of

time. But if it was a dirty basket, even if she didn't draw water, it was still cleaned in the water, removing the grime—that was a kind of gain. Just like reading and studying, you might not be able to concentrate all the time, but the more you read, the more your entire demeanor is cultivated by the books. Perhaps this is one of the differences between a well-read person and an ignorant person—a difference in temperament.

After finishing her homework, there were still the three daily medicinal baths—things Ya Ya had to do every day. Now, Ya Ya was soaking in the bathtub, her mind starting to wander again as her body relaxed. "Dad will probably remarry sooner or later," she thought. "Dad's so young, how can I let him live alone?" Ya Ya smiled bitterly. If she really cared about her father, she should let him remarry, but why didn't she want to?

This clear reluctance left Ya Ya listless all afternoon. Her little head was filled with imagining someone moving into the house, and the thought of having younger siblings to share her father's love made her feel even worse. For someone who lacked love in her past life, Ya Ya was selfish. She didn't want siblings; she just wanted complete fatherly love, love that belonged solely to her.

Sigh, Ya Ya shook her head, trying not to think about it anymore, but how could she simply not want to think about it?

At night, Ya Ya still clung to Li Yuanbai and successfully fell asleep in his arms. However, for the first time, Ya Ya, who usually could fall asleep as long as she snuggled in her father's warm embrace, suffered from insomnia. Her peaceful days were about to be disrupted, and she really couldn't calm down.

Ya Ya stared at her father beside her, the soft moonlight filtering through the curtains and dappling him, making him appear even more refined—a refined hunter. Ya Ya herself didn't believe it, but now she was certain. Her father was incredibly capable. Look, today he said he was going hunting, and he came back with silver. He sold the big game for the money, keeping the pheasants and rabbits for himself. Such a bountiful harvest! How could Ya Ya believe it? But what did it matter? She only knew she was her father's daughter. The more capable her father was, the better, wasn't it?

"Ya Ya, what's wrong? Aren't you asleep? If you don't get up tomorrow, Daddy will catch you!" Li Yuanbai knew his daughter's every move. Usually, this little one would fall asleep the moment she got into bed, but tonight she hadn't slept a wink. This was strange; even this lazybones had sleepless nights.

"Daddy, Ya Ya won't be unable to get up." Ya Ya twisted her body, unconvinced. She was just being stubborn in bed, a habit of being lazy.

"Okay, then quickly close your eyes and go to sleep, okay?" He gently patted his daughter's back, helping her fall asleep.

Ya Ya didn't say anything more, obediently closing her eyes, but still couldn't fall asleep. Ya Ya quietly opened her eyes again, but this time she didn't dare look up at anyone. Her little head was lowered, her gaze sweeping downwards, landing on Li Yuanbai's crotch. Ya Ya blushed. In her past life, she had worked selling drinks in a bar, and she had seen too many things there. One thing was an absolute truth in bars: men are animals who think with their lower bodies. In the hazy, dreamy atmosphere of a bar, everyone could initially maintain some rationality, but later, few could remain sober. Some, impatient, even made love in the restroom. Men and women lose themselves in this sea of desire, seeking only fleeting pleasures. Sex without love is a decadent lifestyle, but it also reflects the sexual needs of both men and women. Sexual desire is a physical impulse; without experience, it might be manageable, but once experienced, the moment reason falters, desire consumes you. The men and women, lost in the throes of night, are those who abandon reason to pursue fleeting pleasures. While this may seem extreme, normal couples and lovers also have sex, but these relationships involve a union of body and soul, love and sex. I

've seen far too many people with sex without love, and even more with love. Love without sex—I believe only a very few can achieve that, but I haven't seen it yet.

Pulling herself back to reality, Ya Ya realized with a start that her gaze had been fixed on her father's genitals. Her face flushed even redder, and her whole body seemed to heat up. Before looking away, Ya Ya glanced at him again. Her father's genitals lay quietly between his legs. But having tasted the pleasure of intimacy, would his genitals remain so still? Ya Ya bit her lip. Could her father endure this for the rest of his life? 06-28 Chapter 012

Li Yuanbai sighed softly. His daughter had finally fallen asleep. Being stared at like this by his daughter was not pleasant, especially since Li Yuanbai was looking at his lower body. It was even more unpleasant to have his daughter staring at him for so long. An ordinary person might not feel the gaze, especially on their genitals, but Li Yuanbai was already a Nascent Soul stage expert. The sensitivity of his senses and his body perception were beyond that of ordinary people. Therefore, he could know with certainty that Ya Ya had been staring at his genitals.

Sensing Ya Ya's gaze fixed on his crotch, Li Yuanbai didn't have time to consider his daughter's intentions before his body reacted first. His penis became increasingly sensitive, almost becoming erect. Fortunately, Li Yuanbai's mind worked quickly; he forcibly suppressed his penis to prevent any change. If his small penis turned into a large one in front of his daughter, Li Yuanbai would lose all face.

While struggling to suppress the urge to rise at any moment, Li Yuanbai hoped that his daughter would close her eyes and fall asleep. Because of this, he didn't notice that his daughter's body was also becoming hot because of his penis. It wasn't until after an unknown amount of time, when his daughter fell asleep, that Li Yuanbai finally calmed down a bit. He gently pulled his daughter up a little with one hand, but to his surprise, as usual, his daughter wrapped her arms and legs around him. Fortunately, his daughter was only three years old and still small. He gently wrapped his other hand around his daughter's body, patted his penis, and obediently lay down!

But no sooner had the "big brother" turned back into the "little brother" than Ya Ya in his arms started acting up again, twisting her body. Because he had lifted his daughter up, her little face was pressed against his. Li Yuanbai gasped. No wonder, the "little brother" had turned back into the "big brother." What was wrong with him tonight? His daughter had done this countless times when they slept together. In fact, Ya Ya never slept still, because her face was right in front of him. Li Yuanbai didn't need to move to see her clearly. In the blink of an eye, Ya Ya was three years old. Although her features hadn't fully developed yet, one could already vaguely see what Ya Ya would look like in the future. It could be summed up in two simple words: pretty.

Li Yuanbai was self-aware enough to know he was of average appearance. He carefully recalled Ya Ya's mother—thankfully, it hadn't been long—and remembered her as being of average appearance as well. With two such ordinary people, one shouldn't expect their offspring to be exceptionally beautiful. Li Yuanbai didn't want his daughter to be stunningly beautiful either. In the cultivation world or the mortal world, breathtaking beauty without powerful strength would only bring misfortune, not fortune. Ya Ya was good enough as she was, with average, delicate features like himself and her mother. That was fine. Absolute beauty was the worst, and being too ugly was also undesirable; a moderately pretty face was best.

Finally, Li Yuanbai's gaze fell on his daughter's small mouth. Three-year-old Ya Ya's lips were pink and tender, like a delicate peach bud, tempting and inviting. Li Yuanbai swallowed hard, momentarily stunned, and his penis finally fully erected, creating a large tent beneath him.

Li Yuanbai closed his eyes helplessly. Ya Ya was asleep, so he let his large penis do as it pleased, without bothering to suppress his desire.

When he opened his eyes again, Ya Ya's sweet sleeping face was still there. As if possessed, Li Yuanbai reached out and stroked his daughter's little lips. He was never one to be swayed by beauty, but at this moment, he felt that his daughter was the most beautiful, and that no one could compare to her little lips.

The little one was drooling! Had they not had enough meat lately? But they had been eating meat these past few days. Heh, she must be having a sweet dream. He wondered what kind of dream had made Ya Ya so happy.

Li Yuanbai didn't even use a towel, but gently wiped the drool from the corner of his daughter's mouth with his finger. Perhaps this wiping action stimulated something in Ya Ya, because in any case, Ya Ya opened her mouth and put one of Li Yuanbai's fingers in it. And not only that, but Ya Ya started sucking on it.

*Hiss*—Under the pressure of Ya Ya's tiny mouth, teeth, and tongue, a subtle tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body. Li Yuanbai felt his penis twitch. The sleeping Ya Ya seemed unsatisfied, sucking on Li Yuanbai's finger a few times. Finding it tasteless, she spat it out, but her little body slid down slightly. Because Ya Ya's limbs were wrapped around Li Yuanbai's body, her little bottom pressed right against the tent in Li Yuanbai's pants. Most coincidentally, the gap between Ya Ya's buttocks clamped onto Li Yuanbai's penis. Li Yuanbai let out a soft

groan, a sound that seemed to be a mixture of pain, pleasure, suppressed desire, and a yearning for release. He

quickly inhaled and exhaled, reaching out to remove his daughter's hands and feet from his grasp, pulling them away. He inhaled and exhaled again, then quietly got up. From now on, it would be best to avoid sleeping with his daughter as much as possible!

Author's Note:

Ya Ya put her hands on her hips: "No tickets, and you still want to see me and Daddy cultivate together? No way! No way! Not even a dog hole!"

Li Yuanbai chuckled softly: "Ya Ya, a girl shouldn't be so rude."

Ya Ya: "Daddy, but if they don't give me tickets, Ya Ya can't cultivate with you! Ya Ya wants to!"

Li Yuanbai raised an eyebrow. This concerned his daughter and himself, and a faint white flame flickered at his fingertips: "Hmm, no tickets? Want to die?"

Chapter 013

"Splash—" Li Yuanbai quietly got up and went straight into the bathroom, dousing himself with buckets of cold water. Not satisfied, he then got into the bathtub, filled it with cold water, and soaked in it.

Li Yuanbai was somewhat annoyed tonight, annoyed that as a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, his self-control had become so poor. Without even this much self-control, what was the point of cultivating in the future!

Thinking of all this, Li Yuanbai's anger flared up again. With a wave of his hand, he took off his clothes. If he couldn't calm down, then he'd just get even colder.

Ya Ya covered her mouth outside the window, afraid of making a sound. Tonight, she was the first to have trouble falling asleep, so even when she did, it was only a light sleep. In addition, since the father and daughter had been sleeping in the same bed recently, she had become accustomed to her father's warm embrace. Therefore, she woke up not long after Li Yuanbai got up.

Afraid of being discovered by her father, she didn't put on shoes and stood barefoot outside the bathroom. Normally, the usually calm Li Yuanbai would have closed the doors and windows, but he was burning with anger and restlessness. Besides, he knew it was the middle of the night, so in his haste, he left the bathroom door a crack. Ya Ya saw everything through that crack. When she woke up and didn't see her father beside her, she assumed he had gone to the toilet. But after waiting a while and he still hadn't returned, she got out of bed to look for him. She truly hadn't expected him to be in the bathroom. She knew perfectly well that they had always showered before going to bed; she never imagined he would be in the bathroom in the middle of the night.

At first, Li Yuanbai was dressed, but now that he had taken his clothes off, Ya Ya was so shocked she almost screamed. Thankfully, she remembered to quickly cover her mouth, but Li Yuanbai still noticed.

"Who is it?!" Li Yuanbai shouted from inside, his anger intensifying. His earlier frustration had made him lower his guard again, but he quickly smiled helplessly. He'd been too impulsive tonight. Who else could be outside besides his daughter, Ya Ya?

Their house might look ordinary, but Li Yuanbai was heavily guarded inside and out. He knew who approached. For example, he knew Aunt Lan Hua had come earlier that day, and now, just in case, he'd opened the house's security barrier. No one could possibly get in. Only he and his daughter were inside. So, the only person outside was his daughter.

"Ya Ya," Li Yuanbai called out to his daughter, realizing what was happening.

"Daddy—" Ya Ya knew her father had discovered her and called out sweetly from outside the door, her voice full of a little girl's coquettishness. "

Come in," Li Yuanbai shook his head. He could only surrender to his daughter. He waved his hand to heat the bathwater; soaking in cold water in the middle of the night was insane.

"Ya Ya, don't come in yet, Daddy's not dressed—" Li Yuanbai's last words caught in his throat. He was so busy making the water steam, trying not to arouse his daughter's curiosity about his behavior in the middle of the night, that he forgot he was completely naked. But it was too late; Ya Ya had already pushed the door open and come in.

"Daddy, didn't I just take a bath tonight?" Ya Ya twisted her fingers and raised an innocent smile. I'm just a three-year-old, I'm just a three-year-old—it's okay, it's okay—

"Daddy got hot while sleeping and felt uncomfortable, so I came to take a bath. It's late, Ya Ya, go to sleep." Li Yuanbai told a lie, even though it wasn't hot in the late autumn weather.

"Ya Ya knows, Daddy should rest early too." Ya Ya didn't call out Li Yuanbai's lie. Her father had told countless lies since she was little. Her father wasn't an ordinary person; to conceal his extraordinary skills, telling lies was necessary, even though lies are easily exposed.

"Daddy'll be done soon." Both of them deliberately forgot that Li Yuanbai was naked. Ya Ya tried to convince herself, "I'm still young, I'm only three years old." Li Yuanbai was the same; his daughter was still young, only three. Although she was letting her take a medicinal bath alone now, in ordinary families, adults would still help children bathe.

Ya Ya came out of the bathroom and ran back to bed. Once on the bed, she pulled the covers up and buried herself completely in them. No one could see her. Ya Ya was as red as a ripe shrimp, from head to toe.

Ya Ya bit her finger. She saw it! She saw her father's penis!

In modern society, porn is rampant, so Ya Ya had naturally seen it all. She had seen all kinds of men and women, the size of women's breasts, the size of men's penises—she had seen it all. But—

her father's penis was so big!

Seeing how refined her father was when he was dressed, she never imagined he would be so magnificent when he was naked.

Oh dear, how embarrassing! Why did she keep thinking about her father's penis!

Chapter 014

"Dad, aren't you sleeping with Ya Ya?" After Ya Ya finally managed to temporarily shut out the image of the huge phallus in her mind, she realized her father hadn't returned. Getting up, she saw he was sleeping in another room. Ya Ya looked up at Li Yuanbai with a pitiful expression, like a little puppy.

"It's cold, why aren't you wearing shoes!" Li Yuanbai, who had just told his daughter she was hot, immediately noticed her bare feet standing by the bed. His brows furrowed. From the day he held his daughter, Li Yuanbai had doted on her, cherishing her dearly.

In a moment of panic, he disregarded his own condition, quickly got out of bed, picked up his daughter, and held her little feet. Sure enough, they were icy cold. He quickly warmed them in his arms, subtly channeling his inner energy to warm her body.

"Dad, you don't want Ya Ya anymore!" Ya Ya didn't care about the cold; she only knew her father wasn't sleeping with her. No, she wanted to sleep with him!

"How could Daddy not want Ya Ya?" Gently patting Ya Ya's back, Li Yuanbai was both amused and exasperated. This child was becoming increasingly clingy. Everyone said children grow more distant from their parents as they get older, but his Ya Ya was the opposite. When she was little, she was incredibly well-behaved, able to spend a whole day by herself, babbling away without him having to do anything. But now, the older she got, the more attached she became.

"Then why is Daddy sleeping here?" She pointed a little finger at the bed where Li Yuanbai was sleeping, her eyes still showing hurt, but her face was full of accusation.

"Daddy just took a shower and was afraid of disturbing Ya Ya's sleep." He touched Ya Ya's feet; they were already warm.

"Daddy's a bad guy! Ya Ya has been waiting for Daddy!" She buried her face in Li Yuanbai's chest, clinging tightly to him. She didn't care; she just wanted to be with her dad. Without him, Ya Ya felt completely insecure.

"Okay, okay, Daddy's a bad guy." He hugged his daughter and coaxed her. At this moment, whatever his daughter said, Li Yuanbai would do.

"Ya Ya?" Seeing his daughter clinging tightly to him, Li Yuanbai secretly marveled at the child's strength. After a while, she still wouldn't let go. Li Yuanbai looked down and chuckled. The little one had fallen asleep just like that. How could a three-year-old endure such a commotion in the middle of the night?

Ya Ya was indeed exhausted tonight, both physically and mentally. Her restless thoughts from the daytime had kept her only in light sleep during the first half of the night, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer in the second half and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Li Yuanbai tried to move the little one's hand, but tonight the little one seemed determined to cling to him. She had been holding him tightly before, and when Li Yuanbai tried to pry her hand away, she would grab it again. If she couldn't get a grip, her little face would immediately scrunch up, looking like she was about to wake up. Helpless, Li Yuanbai could only continue to hold his daughter in bed. Looking at his daughter's sweet sleeping face, Li Yuanbai closed his eyes contentedly. He would rest tonight too.

Looking out the window, dawn was approaching. The night was finally over. Despite the chaos of the night, Li Yuanbai lay still, his daughter Ya Ya nestled against his chest. He didn't want to disturb her sleep, even though moving her without her noticing would have been easy for him. He didn't want to do that for her.

Ya Ya finally woke up at daybreak. Seeing herself still nestled against her father's chest, she smiled contentedly. This was her father, her dearest father!

"Ya Ya's father is home!" After his daughter had a medicinal bath and breakfast, Li Yuanbai lay down in the rocking chair under the tree in the yard, helping his daughter with her homework. But before long, there was a sound outside. It was Aunt Lan Hua and Aunt A Tao, who had visited the day before.

Chapter 015

"It's Aunt Lan Hua, come in and sit down." Li Yuanbai's expression was somewhat unnatural. Even after three years, he still managed to communicate naturally with these village women.

"Ya Ya's dad, congratulations!" Before he even sat down, Aunt Tao's loud voice boomed as he entered.

Li Yuanbai frowned. While he could manage the mundane chatter of Aunt Lan Hua, Aunt Tao's incessant talking was completely overwhelming. No matter how capable a man was, dealing with women was beyond his capabilities.

"Oh my, look at this luxurious house! If there were a woman here, it would be even better. Managing the household, life would be so wonderful!" Aunt Tao continued, ignoring whether Li Yuanbai responded or not.

"The daughter of Zhang Tian, the landlord of Zhangjia Village, has taken a liking to you! Tsk tsk, Ya Ya's father, what a joyous occasion! The girl is a virgin, and her dowry is abundant. Ya Ya's father, you've fallen into a paradise!" Aunt Tao continued. As a matchmaker, she had seen all kinds of people, including many who were dull and silent. She didn't care at all; if the man didn't speak, she was even better off, letting him finish his sentence. However, Ya Ya's father was too ordinary-looking. Not to mention, he couldn't compare to the handsome young master Li from the Li family in town, or even to the slightly better-looking young men. Looking at the daughter next to him, father and daughter were alike. The girl had a delicate face, and her father also had a delicate face. She really didn't understand how the landlord's daughter could be interested in a widower like him!

"Oh dear, Ya Ya's father, what are you still sitting there for? Hurry up and bring me the birth dates so my Aunt Tao can match them up and finalize the marriage. This is a good thing that so many people would kill for! Zhangjia Village is huge, and that landlord Zhang's fields take up half of the village. Tsk tsk, that's a lot of land. Even if you only give a handful as a dowry for your daughter, that's incredible. It's enough for you to live off for the rest of your life!" Aunt Tao spoke with great enthusiasm, her spittle flying everywhere, as if she could see the matchmaker's money right in front of her, a huge pile of silver!

Aunt Lan Hua swallowed hard, looking at Aunt Tao. She had truly witnessed Aunt Tao's abilities today. However, the spittle flying in front of Aunt Tao was a bit creepy. She subtly moved to the side and glanced at Ya Ya's father. She saw that the father and daughter were already standing far away. Aunt Lan Hua clicked her tongue. These two were no slouch either; they were both incredibly shrewd.

"Thank you, Aunt Tao, but I have no intention of remarrying." Li Yuanbai had a headache. What was going on? Everything was going so well, and now

this mess had appeared. He had never considered finding another mortal woman. Let alone a mortal woman, even a Daoist partner was something he'd only recently thought about. In the past, Li Yuanbai had never even considered it. Some cultivators did find partners, but most walked the path of cultivation alone, too busy with their practice to have time for a Daoist partner. He was one of them. Being busy with cultivation was one factor, but another was that he'd never had such thoughts. The current idea of finding a Daoist partner stemmed from his rising desires. He believed in letting things take their natural course, and he understood that sexual desire had taken root in his heart. If it wasn't resolved, it would become his inner demon. Once an inner demon existed, he couldn't think about advancing in his cultivation until it was resolved.

Speaking of Daoist partners, he thought of the sudden desire that had arisen last night. Unexpectedly, his daughter Ya Ya's little face appeared in his mind, especially her pink little mouth. Li Yuanbai quickly suppressed the thought, trying not to think about it anymore.

Ya Ya's tightly clenched little hand loosened slightly after Aunt Lan Hua and the others came in. Thankfully, her father hadn't agreed. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her own thoughts didn't matter; what mattered was her father's. As long as he agreed, nothing she thought mattered. If he disagreed, she was at ease too. She didn't want any other woman to marry her father; she only wanted him, not a stepmother!

"What?!" This time, not only was Aunt Tao Hua shocked, but even Aunt Lan Hua found it unbelievable. Ya Ya's father had rejected such a good marriage without even thinking about it—wasn't he out of his mind? "

Aunties, I'm so sorry, Ya Ya and I have something to do." Picking up Ya Ya, Li Yuanbai decided it was best to leave. He couldn't handle it anymore. Ya Ya was going to live here, and he couldn't afford to offend the neighbors. Anyway, he had made his point clear. Thinking this, Li Yuanbai picked up his daughter and left the house first.

Ya Ya hugged her father's neck tightly, her heart leaping with joy. This was so good!

Chapter 016

"Ya Ya, we're big girls now, sleep by yourselves, okay, be good." Night had fallen again. Thinking back to his outburst the previous night, Li Yuanbai dared not let his daughter share a bed with him again. While his daughter slept alone, he could also use some time to clear his mind. Human desires are natural, but they shouldn't be excessive.

"Daddy, don't you like Ya Ya anymore?" Ya Ya looked at Li Yuanbai with wet eyes and a pout on her pink lips. She didn't want to sleep alone; she wanted to be with her father. She loved his warm embrace.

“How could Daddy not love Ya Ya? Daddy loves Ya Ya the most. It’s just that Ya Ya is all grown up now and needs to sleep alone, you know?” Li Yuanbai took a deep breath. His daughter was still his daughter, and her childlike expressions were still the same. During the day, he was alright; many things distracted him from his desires, and even intimate actions with his daughter were fine. But at night, it was different. He had to grit his teeth, clench his fists, and use the last bit of his reason to keep himself from losing control in front of his daughter. Until he regained his clarity of mind, this was the only way he could do it.

“No, Ya Ya hasn’t grown up yet! Ya Ya will always be Daddy’s Ya Ya!” Ya Ya wouldn’t agree, clinging to Li Yuanbai’s little hand and refusing to let go, hanging on his body.

“Ya Ya!” Li Yuanbai’s voice was a little breathless. He knew that Ya Ya’s little face was about to cause trouble!

“Ya Ya, go to sleep first. Daddy has something to do!” Without waiting for his daughter’s reaction, he used a little trick to release her little hand, quickly put her down, and hurriedly left.

Ya Ya stared blankly at Li Yuanbai's departure, mouth agape. She finally realized something was wrong with her father. He would never act like this unless something was wrong. Although she often clung to him and acted spoiled, she knew his fatherly love for her. What was happening?

Ya Ya once again followed Li Yuanbai barefoot.

The bathroom? Why had her father become so fond of the bathroom lately? He had clearly taken a bath last night, but came again in the middle of the night, and it was the same tonight. He had taken a bath before

, so why was he here again? "Dad—" Ya Ya stumbled and fell into the bathroom. Ya Ya swore she didn't mean to. She had thought that since her father had gone into the bathroom again, she would go back. But before she could turn around, she tripped and fell into the tub with a thud.

Their bathtub was made short and wide for their youngest daughter's convenience. Even Li Yuanbai's own tub was made to be short and wide like hers. Little did he know that today it would be the reason his daughter fell in.

Just now, Li Yuanbai's desire was aroused again by his daughter's soft, fragrant body. He could only quickly put his daughter down and run into the bathroom to pour cold water over himself again. But before he even started pouring, he inadvertently thought of his daughter again, and his penis became even more erect. Li Yuanbai took off his clothes, sat in the tub, and looked at his erect penis, which didn't lose any of its power even in the cold water. Li Yuanbai smiled bitterly. He really didn't understand sex. Before, he cultivated a pure mind and didn't need to understand. Now, even though he had experienced the pleasure of sex, he still didn't know how to handle a man's erection. He was completely half-hearted and half-guessing, relying on his senses to encircle his penis with his hand.

"Mmm—" A wave of pleasure surged from his senses. With this encirclement, Li Yuanbai seemed to have found another way, a way that didn't require a woman, didn't require cold water, and didn't require any cultivation techniques to relieve his desire.

Unfortunately, before Li Yuanbai could continue pondering this, his daughter Ya Ya stumbled in. Her stumbling in wasn't the worst part; the worst part was that Ya Ya fell into the bathtub, headfirst, and ended up taking Li Yuanbai's aroused penis into her mouth!

Chapter 017

"Mmm—" Li Yuanbai had already lost his senses the moment his hand encircled his own penis. Now, his body reacted even before his brain, and another wave of pleasure surged through him, causing Li Yuanbai to groan involuntarily.

Ya Ya was completely stunned. How could her mouth be filled with her father's penis?

A three-year-old child's mouth could not possibly fully contain an adult man's penis, especially since Li Yuanbai's penis was much larger than that of an average man. Although it was said to be contained, it was actually only the head that was in her mouth, but even so, it filled Ya Ya's little mouth completely.

Neither of them had a moment of realization what they were doing.

"Cough cough—" Finally, this romantic moment was broken by Ya Ya's cough. Don't forget, Li Yuanbai was currently soaking in the bathtub, his lower body completely immersed in cold water. Ya Ya had plunged headfirst into the water. She was just a three-year-old mortal, and of course, she couldn't stay in the water for long. Before long, she choked on the water and started coughing.

"Ya Ya?" This sound brought Li Yuanbai back to some senses, but seeing his daughter almost made him lose his last shred of rationality. His daughter was soaking wet, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was the water stains on her little mouth. He couldn't tell if it was water from the tub, Ya Ya's saliva, or even his own. In any case, her little mouth was slightly open, and a few drops of water were dripping down. Wet eyes, wet little mouth, wet Ya Ya—she looked incredibly alluring.

Li Yuanbai took a breath. Now was not the time for fantasies. He quickly pulled his daughter out of the water, then filled the tub with hot water, removed her clothes, and held her as they soaked in the hot water.

"Daddy," Ya Ya finally came to her senses from the stimulation of the hot water and softly called out, "Daddy." She understood what had just happened. When she came in, her father was clearly masturbating, and her falling into the tub had indirectly helped him relieve himself.

Male masturbation is perfectly normal to Ya Ya, who isn't a three-year-old girl from ancient times who doesn't understand anything. She doesn't know about ancient men, but in modern times, ten to eleven men have masturbated; it's commonplace. Ya Ya has even overheard some men's drunken confessions: men and women are different. Women, before losing their virginity, mostly don't want sex, but men are different. Even if a man hasn't had sex, he'll still have sexual desires as he gets older—it's something he can't suppress. It's not about whether he has a girlfriend or not; it starts in his teenage years.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Li Yuanbai, who already has a daughter, masturbates. If Li Yuanbai knew Ya Ya's thoughts, he'd probably be both amused and exasperated. He'd only just begun exploring, hadn't even started anything, and his daughter had already entered him—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they hadn't even begun.

"Ya Ya, are you feeling better? You can't even walk properly, how can your father be at ease with you!" He gently supported his daughter, afraid she would fall into the water again and choke. As for the incident where his daughter accidentally put his penis in her mouth, Li Yuanbai selectively forgot about it. Three-year-old Ya Ya was his daughter. No matter what Li Yuanbai thought, he felt it was a defilement of his daughter, an obliteration of his fatherly love. He couldn't think about anything else, he absolutely couldn't think about it anymore. What just happened was just an accident between the two of them, Li Yuanbai told himself.

At the same time, he decided that he must set up a barrier when entering the bathroom in the future. What happened today must never happen again. Even if it was unavoidable, father and daughter should not be naked and embracing each other in the bathtub. As for his daughter, perhaps he should ask a woman to tell her about the difference between men and women. Even between father and daughter, certain behaviors need to be avoided.

Li Yuanbai had a good plan, but he didn't know about his daughter's experiences of living two lives, so he naturally couldn't imagine that Ya Ya also had her own thoughts.

Although Father refused the matchmaker's marriage proposal today, what about the future? Especially now that it seems Father still has sexual desires, and Ya Ya's subconscious gaze drifted downwards, guessing Father's libido was quite high. He could refuse once, but who could guarantee he wouldn't marry another woman for sexual gratification later? If she didn't want Father to remarry, she first needed to solve his lower body problem!

What to do? How to solve it? After much thought, she finally thought of what Father had just done—masturbation. Should she help Father? She could help Father release himself; she could use her mouth, her hands. Although she had been a virgin for two lifetimes, she had seen it all before, and Ya Ya believed she could do it.

But, she was Father's daughter; how could she do such a thing? What was the difference between this and incest? On one hand, there was moral principle; on the other, there was her possessive desire for Father. Ya Ya gritted her teeth, constantly torn between her conscience and her own.

"Ya Ya?" Li Yuanbai looked at his daughter's absent-minded expression with concern. Had she been chilled by the water earlier? Or had she choked on it? What's wrong?

Looking at her father, Ya Ya finally made up her mind!

Author's note:

What decision?

I won't tell you unless you vote!

Chapter 018:

This kind of father can only be hers. What ethics or not, nothing is more important than having her father all to herself!

In the end, the desire to possess her father's love triumphed over ethics.

Now that she's made up her mind, what should she do next? Ya Ya held her head in her hands, still needing to think!

"Ya Ya?" Calling his daughter again, Li Yuanbai looked at his little daughter's rapidly changing expressions with amusement. The previous springtime allure was now gone, replaced by his daughter's adorable appearance.

"Daddy, just now I fell into the bathtub and sucked on a fleshy thing. Did you put it in the bathtub, Daddy? What is it? Is it for bathing?" Ya Ya looked at Li Yuanbai with an innocent face, pretending to be naive, and then helped her father solve the problem. Ya Ya felt that this was the best method she could think of. Anyway, as long as it could solve her father's lower body problem, the important thing wasn't the method, but the final result.

Li Yuanbai was dumbfounded. How could he answer that? In fact, Ya Ya hadn't intended for Li Yuanbai to answer her. She just wanted an excuse to continue what she wanted to do. Answering that question would be incredibly embarrassing. Ya Ya knew very well what kind of person her father was. Even though outsiders called him a hunter, he was very particular about his manners and would never utter a single inappropriate word, let alone such lewd talk.

"Dad, it's this!" After getting off Li Yuanbai, father and daughter sat in the bathtub. Ya Ya secretly rejoiced that her father had only been concerned about her and hadn't left, nor had he put on any clothes.

She lowered her head and focused intently on her father's penis, then grasped it with her small hand. She sighed inwardly, "It's so big!" Just looking at it was enough; who knew that only by actually holding it in her hand could she truly feel its size. She knew without a doubt that this guy was incredibly powerful.

Ya Ya squeezed and pressed it, successfully hearing Li Yuanbai gasp. When she looked up again, her face was innocent once more. Ya Ya felt that she had worked really hard to pretend.

"Daddy, what are you using this for?" Her little hands were still gripping her father's penis, and she chuckled to herself. Her father was aroused; it was getting bigger and hotter.

"Ya Ya, get up, get up, the water will get cold soon." Li Yuanbai almost cried out, gripping the edge of the tub tightly to prevent himself from sliding in any further. The tub was wide enough that he could lie down completely, as long as he had a small pillow for support. But in this situation, if he really lay down, his penis would truly be erect, bursting out of the water.

"Hmm—" Li Yuanbai finally couldn't resist. Ya Ya's little hands gripped his penis and moved it up and down. His daughter was a little devil who was always tormenting him!

"Daddy, it's so amazing! It actually gets big! Look, it's standing up! It was soft just now." As if she had discovered something new, Ya Ya moved up and down again.

Li Yuanbai bit his lip, trying not to moan, but he didn't notice that his body had unconsciously slid down a bit more, from sitting to half-lying down.

Li Yuanbai didn't notice, but Ya Ya did. Ya Ya chuckled to herself, thinking, "Father is so inexperienced." But then she thought, "That shouldn't be the case. If Father is inexperienced, how could I be born?" Father and Mother should have gotten to know each other better after the first time. Could it be that Father only conceived me once with Mother, and then never did it with Mother again? Actually, Father and Mother weren't what she used to think. Ya Ya had thought about Father and Mother's relationship more than once. After learning about Father's extraordinary nature, Ya Ya guessed that it was something that had to be said between the extraordinary Father and the ordinary Mother. Ya Ya shook her head inwardly. "Li Yiyi, you're being melodramatic. I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, that was before I was born. I don't care. What's important now is this. I have to say, Ya Ya, you're right. The process of your birth is indeed very melodramatic."

"Daddy, is this for rinsing your mouth? It must be! I didn't rinse properly earlier, let's try again!" Ya Ya sat between Li Yuanbai's legs, his body sliding down and encircling her. Ya Ya answered her own question, as if she had found the answer, excitedly lowering her head and opening her small mouth. If her father hadn't slid down, Ya Ya wouldn't have been able to give him oral sex. But now, Li Yuanbai's almost flat body allowed his penis to finally break free, making it completely convenient for Ya Ya.

Opening her mouth, Ya Ya took the head of Li Yuanbai's penis into her mouth again. This time, unlike before when she was completely unprepared, Ya Ya was prepared. However, she could only barely hold the head in her mouth before she couldn't go any further; any deeper and it would reach her throat. She couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again. "

Daddy, your penis is really big!"

Chapter 019

Ya Ya spat out some of the penis she was holding in her mouth, otherwise her tongue wouldn't be able to move. After loosening her mouth a little, Ya Ya's little tongue stuck out and touched the glans of the penis. But as soon as she touched it, the penis that she had just spat out suddenly thrust back in, almost directly into Ya Ya's throat.

Ya Ya's little body swayed. She couldn't help it; her body, that of a three-year-old child, couldn't withstand the impact of Li Yuanbai's adult body. That thrust wasn't something Li Yuanbai intended; it was completely an unconscious action. As soon as Ya Ya licked, Li Yuanbai's lower body unconsciously thrust forward.

Ya Ya took a breath, and after the impact subsided, she spat out her father's penis completely. She couldn't take it anymore; she needed to catch her breath. Otherwise, before her father's desire was satisfied, she would collapse from exhaustion. Besides, oral sex wasn't just about holding and teasing, especially since Ya Ya couldn't hold it all in her mouth yet, so she needed to do something else.

Ya Ya had no idea that even without her doing anything else, her father, Li Yuanbai, was already lost in lust. She also didn't realize that with each swallow and spit, her lips opened and closed, transforming her originally pink mouth into a honey-like, delicate and alluring sight.

Ya Ya's little hand traced the glans of his penis upwards, until it reached the two testicles at the base. She mischievously pinched them, successfully eliciting another groan from Li Yuanbai.

"Daddy, is this your penis?!" Ya Ya looked at Li Yuanbai with astonishment.

"Ya Ya, stop, stop! Get up!" Li Yuanbai's breathing was rapid. What had he done? What had his daughter just done? He... he hadn't stopped her!

His daughter was too young to understand, but didn't he understand too? Li Yuanbai wanted to slap himself to death. Ya Ya was his daughter!

"Daddy, why do you have penises on your body? Why don't I have any? It's so strange. Daddy not only has penises, but also testicles. They're wrinkled and soft, and then they get bigger, harder, and hot. There are also black hairs that prick my hands. Daddy, why do you have so many things on your body? I don't have any!" Ya Ya touched each thing as she spoke, and finally, she simply lay her whole body on Li Yuanbai's lower body, carefully observing these male characteristics. To be honest, although she had seen a lot of movies, this was the first time she had seen a real person up close. Anyway, she had already done what she shouldn't have done, so why was she afraid to watch? She might as well satisfy her curiosity.

"Ya Ya—" Li Yuanbai said hoarsely, making a last effort, but apart from the last bit of reason struggling in his mind, his body had long since stopped obeying his brain. Otherwise, why would his hands still be tightly gripping the edge of the tub, unable to let go, and why would his body have slid completely into the bathtub?

"Daddy, it's so strange! Ya Ya and Daddy's upper bodies look exactly alike. Look, Daddy, Ya Ya's upper body is flat, and Daddy's is flat too. Ya Ya has two red fleshy bumps here, and Daddy has them too, but Daddy's are bigger than Ya Ya's!" As she spoke, Ya Ya stuck out her bottom and climbed up Li Yuanbai's lower body, all the way to Li Yuanbai's chest. She stretched out her little hands and pinched Li Yuanbai's two nipples, one on each side.

Li Yuanbai's mind exploded. Every movement of Ya Ya was like igniting a hidden explosive of desire within him, blasting him into a sea of lust time and time again.

"Ya Ya, get up, get up quickly!" But despite this, Li Yuanbai was, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and his mind was not that of an ordinary person. He was still trying to stop it all. Ya Ya was his daughter, and she still held onto his last bit of rationality.

"Dad, but why are our genitals different? Dad, look at Ya Ya's! Dad's penis, testicles, pubic hair... Ya Ya doesn't have any of those!" Ya Ya actually stood up, but instead of leaving the bathtub as Li Yuanbai had expected, she stood directly in front of Li Yuanbai's face, pointing to her genitals for him to see.

Ya Ya's delicate virgin scent wafted towards Li Yuanbai, and he felt it was the most fragrant scent in the world. His daughter's lower body, so completely exposed, made him realize that the most fragrant scent came from the most beautiful place in the world—his daughter's virginity.

Chapter 020

"Dad, feel it! Ya Ya has nothing!" Ya Ya pulled Li Yuanbai's hand and led it to her genitals. Ya Ya was going all out; she refused to believe she couldn't help her father!

As if possessed, Li Yuanbai actually touched his daughter's lower body, parting the pink flesh. His daughter's tiny clitoris was revealed for the first time. Li Yuanbai swallowed hard; this was the first time he had ever seen such a mysterious female body.

"Daddy, what's this? Does Daddy have one?" Ya Ya asked to herself, turning back to lie on Li Yuanbai's lower body. For a three-year-old child, you really couldn't expect her to have any sexual desire.

However, right now, as long as Daddy was comfortable and happy, that was all that mattered. Ya Ya's little hands stroked Li Yuanbai's pubic hair, playing with his entire lower body. Of course, she knew that men couldn't possibly have a clitoris; she had to remain innocent.

Ya Ya's repeated teasing finally caused Li Yuanbai to completely lose his reason, leaving only the primal instinct to relieve and release his desires.

Seeing Li Yuanbai's erect penis, Ya Ya knew the time was right. She took it in again, her little hands gripping it when she couldn't hold it all, her tongue gently sucking on the tip of the glans while her hand continuously stroked the rest. Taking her father's penis in her mouth several times had become a novel experience for Ya Ya. Before, when she watched porn where women put men's penises in their mouths, she found it disgusting. Later, she read books saying that men's penises have a strong taste, and Ya Ya found it unbelievable to see some women licking men's penises with such ecstasy. But today, when she was holding her father's penis, she found it didn't taste like she expected at all; instead, she felt a sense of anticipation. Was it because it was her beloved father's?

Feeling the trembling of her father's penis in her hand, Ya Ya regained her composure and increased the speed of her stroking. Come on

! But after a long while, Ya Ya's face fell. "Daddy, what kind of stamina do you have?! Why aren't you coming yet!"

Having gone this far, how could Ya Ya give up so easily? She had to do it, no matter what, to prevent her father from finding another woman!

She encouraged herself, continuing to suckle and manipulate with her hands. No matter how long it took, today, her father had to ejaculate in her mouth.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Ya Ya heard Li Yuanbai's low growl, and her mouth was once again filled with his erection—her father had ejaculated!

Ya Ya gasped. Could any woman withstand her father's stamina?

"Ya Ya—" With the release of his desire, Li Yuanbai finally regained his senses. He painfully closed his eyes; he had wronged his daughter. But seeing the semen spilling from her lips, Li Yuanbai inexplicably felt a surge of excitement. His guilt towards his daughter and his adherence to moral principles vanished in that instant.

"Daddy, so your penis can also spit out white fluid! It's so much fun! Daddy, Ya Ya wants to play with it again, okay?" Ya Ya stuck out her little tongue and licked up her father's spilled semen. The taste of her father's semen gave her an irresistible urge to keep going. At this moment, Ya Ya was unaware that this was due to Li Yuanbai's Nascent Soul cultivation.

Ya Ya didn't know what was wrong with her at this moment. It seemed that after breaking through the barrier of morality for the first time, her courage grew. No wonder they say that everything is difficult at the beginning; once you take the first step, the second and third times will no longer be burdened by moral constraints.

"No!" How could Li Yuanbai, having regained his senses, agree to his daughter's request? If his daughter didn't understand, didn't he understand too? Li Yuanbai knew all too well what his daughter's actions just now meant.

Ya Ya pouted, her little face showing grievance as she looked at Li Yuanbai, but her little mind was already thinking about how to act next time. In short, she didn't want another woman to monopolize her father!

Chapter 021

"Daddy, it's cold—" Ya Ya knew, of course, that her father wouldn't easily agree to this incestuous affair. Even she herself wouldn't have done it if her desire to possess her father hadn't overcome her moral conscience. So now wasn't a good time to continue the conversation, and Ya Ya was confident that once her father had considered things with his lower body, there would be no shortage of next time.

Ya Ya snuggled into Li Yuanbai's arms. She was truly cold. After her father's terrifyingly long-lasting performance, the hot water in the bathtub had cooled down, and after preparing for her father for so long, she was even more exhausted. She fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down.

Li Yuanbai quickly picked up his daughter, then stood up, waved his hand, draped his clothes over himself, pulled his daughter closer, and left the bathroom, entering the inner room.

Li Yuanbai placed his daughter on the bed and took a deep breath. He had held his naked daughter before; he had raised her himself, feeding her, putting her to sleep, bathing her—he had done everything for her. Back then, holding her filled him with nothing but paternal love. But after a recent passionate encounter, holding his naked daughter again, Li Yuanbai's heart was no longer at peace. The previous time, nothing substantial had actually happened between them, and he could deceive himself into thinking it hadn't. But this time, Ya Ya was already sucking his penis. Could he still pretend nothing had happened?

He took out his daughter's clothes and dressed her, then sat beside her, watching her peaceful sleeping face. How would he and his daughter face tomorrow?

A short while later, as if sensing his presence, his sleeping daughter snuggled into his arms again. Sensing his warmth, her little mouth curved upwards, and Ya Ya slept even more soundly.

Li Yuanbai sighed silently. His daughter had always relied on him completely, yet today, he had taken advantage of that dependence to do such a thing to her. Li Yuanbai just wanted to bury himself in a hole.

That night, Li Yuanbai held his daughter and sat upright, unable to sleep a wink.

The next morning, Ya Ya opened her eyes, her first instinct being to look at the spot beside her. Her father wasn't there. She touched the bed beside her; it was cold. Ya Ya knew her father must have been up for a long time, but she was also certain that she had slept with him the night before. The warmth he had given her all night was undeniable. Ya Ya didn't know why she was increasingly unable to sleep without her father's warm embrace. Her longing for her father's love was like grasping at a straw in the dust; if she hadn't grasped it, all would have been fine, but once she had, she wouldn't let go. Ya Ya was fed up with the loneliness and desolation of her previous life, drifting alone in the world. In this life, she only wanted to hold on tightly and never let go. What... Nothing could stop her, not even morality and ethics. Because she had firmly resolved this thought, last night, Ya Ya recklessly committed an act bordering on incest. In her past life, she lived earnestly, striving to live well, but who would give her the familial love she craved because of her efforts? No one. So in this life, why should she give up her yearning for familial love for the sake of societal moral standards? She had never known the happiness of having something without experiencing its loss. Now, Ya Ya was a little girl desperately craving familial love, a girl who wanted to monopolize Li Yuanbai's fatherly affection. Perhaps she was going too far, but it was the truth. With her stepmother's arrival, Li Yuanbai would never have the same fatherly love for Ya Ya as he did now.

"Ya Ya, are you awake? Rinse your mouth and go for your medicinal bath. Daddy has prepared breakfast and is waiting for you." Outside, Li Yuanbai was in the kitchen, unusually preparing breakfast himself. He needed to do something to distract himself from his shame. Shame wouldn't solve anything; he needed the best solution.

"Oh, Dad, I understand." Inside the room, Ya Ya was also pondering what her father thought about what happened last night. She wasn't optimistic that her father would think the same way she did. Regardless of worldly morality and ethics, her father letting her do whatever she wanted last night was just a momentary lapse of judgment caused by lust. However, Ya Ya smiled. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and she had already done well in the most difficult beginning. Would it be as difficult as the first time later?

Chapter 022

After the daily necessary medicinal bath, Ya Ya sat back down at the table to prepare breakfast. Three meals a day was their family's routine, unlike other families' two meals a day. For Ya Ya, who was used to three meals a day, she could only honestly say that two meals a day were not enough to fill her stomach. Moreover, there was a scientific basis for three meals a day, and each meal was indispensable. Children are healthiest when they eat small, frequent meals. Over time, their family's three meals a day became a habit.

"Ya Ya, are you full?" Seeing that his daughter had almost finished eating, Li Yuanbai put down his chopsticks. Their breakfast was quite substantial, with rice porridge, side dishes, and cured meat—all prepared by Li Yuanbai himself. He used spiritual grains to make the porridge, spiritual herbs to cook the dishes, and poultry fed with spiritual grains for the meat. Even though his daughter didn't have spiritual roots, Li Yuanbai was using every means to nourish her body and smooth out her meridians. He was doing this subtly and quietly

. Even if she couldn't cultivate immortality, Li Yuanbai wanted to ensure his daughter's health for the rest of her life. "I'm full." Ya Ya also put down her chopsticks, her little belly already round and full. She had to eat her fill for breakfast; she wouldn't leave herself half full—that was for dinner.

"Ya Ya, what you did last night, you can't do again, understand?" Li Yuanbai had thought about it all night, and finally decided to tell his daughter directly.

"Why? Dad, didn't you tell me to ask if I don't understand? Isn't it right for me to ask you?" Ya Ya looked at her father with an innocent expression, but seeing his feigned seriousness while his eyes betrayed his embarrassment, Ya Ya couldn't help but laugh inside.

"Ahem, Ya Ya, Dad told you about the differences between men and women, remember? So, from now on, Ya Ya will sleep alone, bathe alone, and in short, keep her distance from men." Li Yuanbai coughed a few times. His daughter was right; not being ashamed to ask questions was exactly what he had taught her. Now he really felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"But Daddy is Ya Ya's daddy! Why should Ya Ya keep her distance from Daddy? Daddy has always taken care of Ya Ya. Does Daddy no longer care about Ya Ya? Does he no longer hug Ya Ya?" Ya Ya looked at Li Yuanbai with a wronged expression. She had finally taken the first step, how could she let her father's words bring everything back to square one? Judging from her father's behavior last night, she knew how strong his libido was. If she couldn't help him, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist and would definitely find another woman. A stepmother would be coming into the house soon, and she absolutely refused!

"Of course Daddy wants Ya Ya, and Daddy will hug Ya Ya, but things like last night can't be done again." Li Yuanbai was almost rendered speechless by his daughter. He didn't know much about matters between men and women, so how could he explain it to his daughter in detail? He could only give her a perfunctory answer.

"Ya Ya understands." Ya Ya lowered her head, her head facing Li Yuanbai, clearly dissatisfied with his evasive answer.

"Alright, Ya Ya, do you want to go out and play?" Li Yuanbai asked in a flattering tone. Usually, this was Ya Ya's study time, but today Li Yuanbai decided to please his daughter, make her happy, and hopefully make her forget about last night.

Li Yuanbai knew his words had been utterly unconvincing. He always approached his daughter's education with reason and logic, and this was the first time he'd used such methods, forcing her to obey under his father's authority. He understood her dissatisfaction, but he was powerless to change it. His daughter was too young to understand the implications of last night's events, and he couldn't tell her. He couldn't allow any shadows to fall on her development, nor could he let her suffer any harm. He would bear the consequences alone.

"Can Ya Ya go out? Doesn't Ya Ya still have homework to do?" Ya Ya sighed inwardly. She knew it would be difficult, requiring her to abandon conventional morals, but she hadn't expected it to be this hard. How could she possibly convince her father to accept her performing oral sex? "

We'll rest today. A balance between work and rest is the best way to learn." Seeing that his daughter wasn't pressing the issue anymore, Li Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was finally back to normal.

Unfortunately, if Ya Ya were the original ancient person who drank the Meng Po soup and was reborn, bound by various ethical and moral constraints from childhood, after Li Yuanbai's lecture, Ya Ya would definitely obey her father's every command, without even saying a word, thinking of it, or doing it. But, unfortunately, the Meng Po soup on the Bridge of Helplessness missed her; she could only be Ya Ya, reborn twice, Li Yiyi, who desperately craved her father's love.

"Daddy is so good!" Ya Ya rushed into Li Yuanbai's arms, laughing happily. Daddy, Ya Ya won't give up!

"Alright, go out and play. Remember to come back at noon, and Daddy will make Ya Ya something delicious." Patting his daughter's head, Li Yuanbai's mood improved.

"Daddy, then I'm going out to play!" Ya Ya waved her hand. Daddy, your daughter only wants you to be Ya Ya's daddy forever.

"Go ahead." Li Yuanbai smiled at his daughter, watching her leave.

"It's a good opportunity to go see if Er Gouzi is different from me too," Ya Ya murmured to herself, her voice very soft, as if she were talking to herself. But she knew her father could hear her; she was certain he was skilled enough to hear her. Sure enough,

"

No!" Before they even left the courtyard, Ya Ya was pulled back by Li Yuanbai. Li Yuanbai's urgent shout rang in her ears. Ya Ya's little eyes sparkled. Daddy, keep going!

Chapter 023

"Daddy, why are you holding Ya Ya? Ya Ya wants to go out and play with Er Gouzi!" She glared at Li Yuanbai, feigning ignorance.

"Ya Ya, what did you say you were going to see Er Gouzi about?" Looking at his daughter anxiously, Li Yuanbai suddenly felt a sense of helplessness. Had he raised his daughter to be too clever? In ordinary families, girls obeyed their parents' every word; they probably wouldn't even consider such things. At home, they obeyed their fathers; after their fathers died, they obeyed their brothers; after marriage, they obeyed their husbands—absolutely no disobedience. Li Yuanbai had always scoffed at such notions. In the cultivation world, there was no male superiority; everything was based on strength. If you had strength, you were respected. Therefore, Li Yuanbai had never taught his daughter anything about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. But now, listening to his daughter speak, Li Yuanbai felt for the first time that perhaps his daughter really should learn these virtues.

"Daddy wouldn't tell Ya Ya, so Ya Ya had to go see Er Gouzi." Her little mouth pouted, looking utterly aggrieved.

“Ya Ya, didn’t Dad just tell you that boys and girls are different? Er Gouzi is a boy, how can you ask Er Gouzi?” Li Yuanbai patiently told himself, don’t rush, take it slow, his daughter is young and doesn’t understand.

“Then why can Ya Ya play with Er Gouzi?” Ya Ya secretly laughed to herself, Dad, you can’t win against your daughter’s unreasonable arguments no matter what.

“That’s because Er Gouzi is still young. When he grows up, it won’t be allowed. Boys and girls shouldn’t sit together after the age of seven.” Li Yuanbai now had a feeling that he probably wouldn’t be able to win against his daughter today. “

That’s fine then. Er Gouzi is still young, of course I can look at Er Gouzi. When Er Gouzi is seven and Ya Ya is seven, Ya Ya won’t play with Er Gouzi anymore, and she won’t look at Er Gouzi anymore.” Ya Ya clapped her hands, seemingly understanding.

“No, no matter when, Ya Ya is not allowed to look at Er Gouzi, and no one else is allowed to look at you!” This time Li Yuanbai thought it all out and said it all. If he didn’t say it all, his knowledge-hungry daughter might think of these things again.

"Dad, Ya Ya understands." Ya Ya lowered her head, a smile playing on her lips. Her father had made great progress; he even knew how to fix things now. But Dad, the matter wasn't over yet.

"Good girl, go play. Remember what Dad said." Patting his daughter's head and putting her down, Li Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was finally over.

"Oh, then I won't go find Er Gouzi. I'll go find Aunt Si Niang." Aunt Si Niang was also a farmer's wife from Lan Family Village. Since Aunt Lan Hua brought the matchmaker to their door, Ya Ya had decisively abandoned her. It didn't matter; with her innocent little face, although not universally adored, Ya Ya was quite popular in Lan Family Village.

"Aunt Si Niang won't allow it either!" Li Yuanbai began to have a headache.

"Dad's being unreasonable! You clearly said there's a difference between men and women, and you won't let Ya Ya ask Er Gouzi. Okay, Ya Ya will listen to Dad, but Aunt Si Niang is a woman just like Ya Ya, why can't I go too!" Ya Ya pouted, looking very angry.

"Ya Ya, this is everyone's most secret place, so it can't be shown to others easily. No outsiders, regardless of gender or age, are allowed!" Li Yuanbai asked himself, wondering if he'd missed anyone this time. His daughter's barrage of questions was making him insecure.

"Dad, who should Ya Ya ask? You taught Ya Ya to understand things, but now Ya Ya doesn't understand. I asked you, and you said no. I asked Er Gouzi, and you said no. I asked Fourth Aunt, and you said no!" Ya Ya threw the question back at him. In short, Dad, you can't just brush your daughter off!

Li Yuanbai was completely speechless. He regretted it, truly regretted it. The Three Obediences and Four Virtues really were worth learning!

"Ya Ya, you'll know the answer to this question when you grow up and have a husband." The thought of his daughter belonging to another man made Li Yuanbai suddenly uncomfortable.

"Husband? Ya Ya knows this, he's Ya Ya's future husband, but didn't Father say there's a difference between men and women? Outsiders can't know, not even family members. Even though Ya Ya likes Father so much, it's not allowed, so why can her husband?" Ya Ya felt she was struggling to hold back. Even in modern society, parents might not be able to give their children an answer to this question, let alone the reserved people of ancient times.

Li Yuanbai didn't continue. He understood that according to Ya Ya's thinking, whatever he said would be wrong, so he simply stopped talking.

"Ya Ya, you're still young. There's no need to rush to know the answer to this question. You'll know when you grow up." Without waiting for his daughter's reaction, Li Yuanbai went into the house, putting an end to this question himself.

Ya Ya looked at her father's back, her little mouth silently curving upwards. Father, Ya Ya won! One practical experience, one theoretical victory! Next, Ya Ya will continue to work hard and never let her stepmother into the house!

"Ya Ya's father, what a wonderful thing!" Just as she was feeling smug, Aunt Tao came again.

Ya Ya gritted her teeth and said

, "Ya Ya's dad, everyone said the dowry will be increased by 20%! Oh my god, that's so much! We couldn't possibly eat it all in this life, no, the next! I really saw that girl yesterday, oh my, she's such a beautiful and charming girl! Good looks, good dowry—this is truly a wonderful thing!" Aunt Tao's face was all smiles.

Ya Ya rolled her eyes. Aunt Tao, are they really lacking in food and clothing? Is her dad just greedy for money? However, Ya Ya was a little curious. How could the daughter of the ninth concubine of the Zhang family fall for her father so much? A young woman was eager to find an old man, especially one with a child. As for money, her family had some, but the man didn't lack it. To be honest, her father might have a good temperament, but his looks were really average. Even though he had a good temperament, he wasn't universally loved. Everyone has their own temperament, and there are people who are both good-looking and have a good temperament. Among scholars, those who have been immersed in books for many years have developed a certain temperament. Aren't those people better? They are better than a father who looks like a hunter raising a daughter.

Ya Ya shook her little head, her imagination running wild. Could there be some melodramatic plot twist, a hero rescuing a damsel in distress or something? Ya Ya glanced at her father, who had just come out of the house. It didn't seem like it. Her father, to put it nicely, was impulsive; to be honest, he was someone who didn't care about others' affairs. He would never do something like helping someone in need. Ya Ya thought and thought, but even that seemed unlikely. What was going on?

She looked at her father curiously, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Aunt Tao, thank you for your kindness, but I really have no intention of getting married, not to anyone." Li Yuanbai placed a tael of silver into Aunt Tao's hand, feeling helpless. It seemed he should learn some fortune-telling techniques to prepare for the future. Like today, he had clearly stated it yesterday, so why was it happening again?

"Oh dear, this marriage is truly wonderful, Ya Ya's father. Are you really not going to reconsider?" Aunt Tao, having accepted a bribe, was genuinely sincere. In her eyes, this marriage was an absolute steal. Of the social classes—scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—while becoming an official was everyone's ambition, how many could actually achieve it? So, ordinary people's greatest wish was simply to have enough to eat and wear. But now, by marrying the daughter of the Zhang landlord, wouldn't that guarantee a life of comfort? And if they had a son, who might become a successful official, then even greater wealth and glory would be within their grasp.

"Thank you, Aunt Tao," Li Yuanbai replied with a smile. Marrying an ordinary woman was harmful; Ya Ya's mother was the best example. He had no choice in the matter, and he would never allow it to happen again. He was a Daoist cultivator, not a demonic one. Lacking a warm heart didn't mean he disregarded human life. He was Li Yuanbai, Li Yuanbai who cultivated according to his heart.

"Then, shall I go back?" Aunt Tao was still hesitant. She really couldn't understand what Ya Ya's father was thinking. Why wouldn't he take such a good opportunity? It's only natural for a man to find a woman to settle down with, so why wasn't Ya Ya's father tempted?

"Thank you, Aunt Tao." He placed another tael of silver in Aunt Tao's hand. He truly hoped this matter would end here and never happen again.

"Sigh, then I'll make another trip." Aunt Tao sighed, slapping her thigh as she stood up. Well, even if the emperor isn't worried, the eunuch is dying of anxiety—it's no use.

"Goodbye, Aunt Tao!" Ya Ya flashed her bright white teeth. At that moment, she thought Aunt Tao was incredibly beautiful even if she smiled like a rotten persimmon. This matchmaker did a good job; she knew that forced relationships wouldn't be happy, unlike some matchmakers who would exaggerate the truth for the sake of money, caring only about their own pockets and not the consequences.

"Ya Ya is so good. Look how clever she is at such a young age. When she grows up, she'll be an amazing beauty. Aunt Tao will definitely find a good husband for Ya Ya." Aunt Tao, true to form, never misses a chance with her little girl, no one is overlooked, she's already got her hands on one.

Ya Ya's smile crooked slightly. She didn't even know what she looked like yet. Aunt Tao was probably saying that every girl was a beautiful, delicate beauty.

Li Yuanbai was taken aback by Aunt Tao's words. His daughter was getting married, becoming another man's wife? Li Yuanbai had never thought of that before. Now that Aunt Tao had mentioned it, Li Yuanbai pursed his lips, feeling very uncomfortable.

Chapter 25

"Dad—" Ya Ya looked at her father strangely. How many times had she been daydreaming now, especially now, even while holding her bowl and eating, she could drift off.

"Huh?" But the person in question was completely unaware.

"Dad, you're not concentrating on your meal!" Ya Ya glared at Li Yuanbai, trying to read something from her father's face. If nothing bad happened, that would be fine, but Ya Ya was afraid her father was still thinking about the marriage proposal Aunt Tao had mentioned that morning. Yesterday and today, her father had refused so decisively; could it

be that he was having second thoughts? The thought sent a wave of panic through Ya Ya. If her father really wanted to marry, she couldn't object at all. A man needs a woman, both emotionally and sexually. Was she being too simplistic, thinking that she could substitute fatherly love for romantic love, and that she could satisfy her father's sexual needs herself, thus preventing him from remarrying? But now Ya Ya doubted whether she was just being presumptuous. These were all her thoughts, but she had forgotten what her father was thinking most importantly.

Ya Ya lowered her eyes, thinking this, which made her feel heavy. Looking at her small body, she realized she was just deceiving herself, wasn't she? She couldn't replace the feelings a woman could give her father, nor could she replace the physical pleasure a woman could bring him. Father, is that true?

"Father, if you want to get married, then get married. Ya Ya doesn't care." Ya Ya suppressed the bitterness in her heart, as long as her father was happy.

"What are you thinking about with that little head of yours? What marriage? When did Father say he wanted to get married?" Li Yuanbai ruffled his daughter's hair. This child was worrying about him.

"But Father looks so troubled." Ya Ya still kept her head down, not daring to look up at her father. She was afraid that if she looked up and saw her father, tears would surely fall. Who would happily welcome a stepmother into the family?

"Silly child, Daddy's thinking about how sensible my Yaya is, I can't bear to see her get married." Thinking of this, Li Yuanbai finally understood his own feelings. A pang of sadness washed over him. His daughter, whom he had raised and personally nurtured, was now going to another family. The thought filled him with bitterness.

"Yaya won't get married! Yaya wants to stay with Daddy forever!" Yaya threw herself into her father's arms. Silly Daddy, Yaya was only three years old and already so sentimental. If she could, Yaya only wanted to stay with Daddy forever. There was nothing she couldn't do!

"Hehe, alright, alright, our Yaya won't get married. She'll stay with Daddy forever." Holding his daughter, he saw the food she had put in his bowl. Silly daughter, how could he possibly marry another woman? As long as his daughter was in the house, no other woman would enter. Li Yuanbai's previous bitterness vanished. Whatever the future held, at this moment, receiving his daughter's complete love was the greatest comfort for a father.

That evening, after her bath, Ya Ya lay in bed, her eyes half-closed, looking relaxed. Not seeing her father, Ya Ya knew without a doubt that he must have waited until she was in bed before bathing because of what had happened the night before. However, Ya Ya clenched her little fists; she wouldn't give up. Having come to terms with it, she was determined to see it through. Although her father said he wouldn't marry a stepmother, she still wanted to carry out her decision, and do it even better. She wanted to give her father all her love, help him solve his manhood problems, and make him happy and energetic every day.

"Ya Ya, go to sleep, or you won't have any energy tomorrow," Li Yuanbai said as he entered. He hadn't bathed yet; these past two days, he had deeply understood his daughter's thirst for knowledge, and to ensure everything was perfect, he would only bathe after she was asleep.

"Daddy, stay with Ya Ya," Ya Ya said, her little hand tugging at Li Yuanbai's clothes. She tried hard not to close her eyes, but her body wouldn't cooperate; her eyelids were already drooping.

"Okay, Dad will stay with Ya Ya." Li Yuanbai noticed Ya Ya's sleepy state. He wasn't in a hurry to bathe; sleeping was just a formality while accompanying his daughter. He no longer needed to sleep. For him, most of his time was spent cultivating and training. If it weren't for his daughter, he would have almost forgotten what sleeping felt like.

He pulled the blanket over his daughter and gently patted her back. Soon, she fell asleep. Still not reassured, Li Yuanbai cast a calming talisman on her, ensuring she rested better and wouldn't wake up again, giving him peace of mind. He

quietly left the room and headed towards the bathroom.

Chapter 26:

Li Yuanbai lay in the bathtub. After last night's events, Li Yuanbai dared not lie in a shallow tub anymore. He had a new adult bathtub made for himself. Now, he was meticulous in everything he could think of. He cast a calming talisman on his daughter to prevent her from suddenly waking up, and this bathtub was one that Ya Ya absolutely couldn't fall into now. He couldn't let last night's events happen again.

But things can be prevented, but can feelings be prevented?

No, Li Yuanbai smiled bitterly. That feeling was enough for him to remember deeply once. Between his daughter's warm lips and soft little hands, his body trembled. Just thinking about it made him react again.

If he didn't know that hurting his little brother would hurt him, Li Yuanbai really wanted to slap it hard. He was so weak!

His little brother was erect, and he couldn't suppress it. Li Yuanbai remembered what he had done before his daughter came in last night. Should he try again?

But when faced with desire, the body often makes a decision before the brain. Just as he was thinking this, Li Yuanbai's hand was already on his penis. This time, he was more experienced than yesterday; what Ya Ya had done was enough for Li Yuanbai to know how to masturbate.

Grasping his penis, Li Yuanbai began to stroke it up and down. Slowly, he felt it coming, and his penis grew hotter and hotter. Then, fragmented moans escaped Li Yuanbai's lips. Finally, Li Yuanbai let out a low growl and reached his climax.

Li Yuanbai rested in the bathtub, not physically, but mentally. His eyes were closed. Although his desires had been released, only he knew that today's feeling couldn't compare to the sensation his daughter had given him yesterday. If last night's pleasure from Ya Ya was indescribable, today it was merely a forced, half-hearted experience. Li Yuanbai shook his head. Why was he thinking about his daughter again? He couldn't think about it anymore; if he did, his manhood would start again!

He stood up, dressed, and left the bathroom. Reaching his daughter's room, Li Yuanbai instinctively stopped. He knew everything about this small farmhouse. His daughter was calling him; he knew it was her sleep-talking. Yet, he still entered her room. Everything about his daughter had long since bound him to her; she was his most precious treasure.

Ya Ya was still asleep. Even with the help of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the calming talisman's effect was extraordinary. However, Li Yuanbai looked at his daughter with heartache. Ya Ya wasn't sleeping well; her brows were slightly furrowed, and her little mouth kept calling for her father. Li Yuanbai knew that if it weren't for the calming talisman, his daughter would have woken up long ago. In the three years they had spent together, they had slept in the same bed most of the time. How could Ya Ya get used to resting alone? Li Yuanbai hadn't forgotten how Ya Ya had clung to him even in her sleep last night. Now, Ya Ya was probably unhappy because she felt he wasn't by her side.

Li Yuanbai smiled and lay down beside his daughter. He had vented once; it should be fine now. His daughter's unhappy little face made his heart ache. He only wanted Ya Ya to be happy and joyful all the time, day and night.

Li Yuanbai's idea was good; he had indeed just ejaculated. However, he forgot what had aroused his desire in the first place. Tonight's desire stemmed from the thought of his daughter using her mouth and hands to bring him pleasure. What he didn't know was that even in her sleep, Ya Ya's dreams were filled with thoughts of bringing pleasure to her father. Therefore, Li Yuanbai miscalculated again.

"Daddy—" As soon as Li Yuanbai lay down, Ya Ya seemed to sense his presence. Seeking her most familiar warmth, she twisted her little body and nestled into Li Yuanbai's arms, her small hands tightly gripping his. Ya Ya's furrowed brows relaxed. Her father, it was so good to have him by her side.

Li Yuanbai held his daughter in his arms, feeling her dependence on him. This was a father's pride and joy. His blood-related daughter, sleep well, my darling. Daddy will protect you for life.

Li Yuanbai looked at his daughter with loving eyes, but before he could fully savor that affection, his face changed color, and his relaxed body tensed up again.

His daughter's little hand had touched Li Yuanbai's penis again!

Chapter 027

People often say that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night; Ya Ya went a step further, directly manifesting her desires at night.

Sensing her father's presence, Ya Ya's long-cherished thoughts surged up. Even without waking, her body and consciousness acted on

their own upon encountering their target. Ya Ya pressed herself closer to Li Yuanbai, shifting her body down slightly, and then her little hand reached out and accurately grasped Li Yuanbai's penis. Ya Ya seemed to sense that what she held in her hand was her desired target, and feeling the warmth in her hand, a smile finally appeared on her face.

With a soft moan, Ya Ya leaned closer to Li Yuanbai, finally satisfied.

Ya Ya was satisfied, but Li Yuanbai suffered.

When his daughter grasped his penis, Li Yuanbai almost groaned, but before his reason and desire could even begin to clash, she had already subsided. All Li Yuanbai could do was smile bitterly. He felt that this was the most common expression he'd had these past few days—a helpless smile at his daughter.

What to do now? Looking down, Li Yuanbai saw Ya Ya buried between his legs, her small hand gripping his penis. He could even feel her warm breath on his lower abdomen, making his groin tighten. At that moment, Li Yuanbai realized that unless he escaped far away and never saw his daughter again, he was possessed by demons, possessed by his daughter. Even a small gesture from her was enough to ignite his lust.

His daughter was his tribulation, an inescapable tribulation. Leaving her was something he had never considered. From the day he received Ya Ya's tiny body, she was his daughter for life, connected to him by blood. He couldn't abandon the daughter he cherished so dearly. He couldn't ignore her. He had to overcome his inner demons. Li Yuanbai only hoped that time would solve everything.

He shifted his body, gently prying open Ya Ya's little hands, but quickly, before Li Yuanbai could leave, Ya Ya clung to him again, accurately grasping his penis once more. Li Yuanbai didn't use any more magic; what difference would it make? His inner demons had already arisen, and avoiding them would only increase them. If he couldn't overcome them, he couldn't continue his cultivation, nor dare he break through. Breaking through while harboring inner demons was no different from courting death.

So be it, let it be tonight. Holding his daughter, he craved the pleasure she brought him, craved any intimate contact with her like this. Even now, he felt satisfied. Since that was the case, why should he continue his futile efforts? Struggling for so long had been pointless; his desire for his daughter had only grown stronger. Perhaps, if he let nature take its course, one day these demonic signs would disappear. Whether it was consolation or not, Li Yuanbai comforted himself in this way.

Having come to this understanding, Li Yuanbai stopped insisting. With his daughter holding his penis, he found pleasure in it. That night, one desired, the other needed; both father and daughter found immense satisfaction.

The result was that both father and daughter woke up refreshed the next morning. Li Yuanbai, needless to say, although his inner demons hadn't been eliminated, his inner knot had been untied. Ya Ya was also in good spirits. Ya Ya felt she had a beautiful dream—no, a dream that made her blush, a little erotic dream. In the dream, her father held her in his arms, such a warm embrace. Then, she grasped her father's penis. His penis was still so big. When she grasped it, his penis was still throbbing in her hand. Then the penis in her hand became very hot, so hot that it felt like it would burn her and her father. Those sensations made Ya Ya feel as if she were experiencing them herself, yet it was all in a dream.

"Dad, did you sleep well last night?" Ya Ya asked her father tentatively. If something had really happened, her father would definitely start lecturing her first thing in the morning, just like yesterday. "

Dad slept very well. How about Ya Ya?" But Ya Ya didn't know that Li Yuanbai, having figured things out, would certainly not lecture his daughter anymore. Not to mention having figured things out, yesterday's lecture had already made Li Yuanbai realize that such lectures were completely ineffective.

"Ya Ya slept very well." Could it really have been a dream, such a vivid dream?

Chapter 28

"Lian'er, what's so good about Li Yuanbai? I've had people find out all about him. Back then, no one in Lanya's village saw them discussing marriage. Li Yuanbai just appeared in Lanya's house out of nowhere and was always sick. Lanya, a young woman, just said whatever she wanted, claiming he was her husband, and then she got pregnant. She was just saying that to convince herself. Later, Lanya died during childbirth, and he raised his daughter alone by hunting. A man like that, with no reputation and no money, how can you accept him?" Ninth Aunt frowned, looking disgusted. She disliked Li Yuanbai. Her daughter was her own child, and she naturally had to be careful with money for her.

"Auntie, have you seen the other side?" Zhang Lian'er wasn't in a hurry, savoring the fragrant tea in her mouth. The rich landlords never lacked money; with money, even ghosts would turn the millstone, and enjoying life required a fortune.

"The other side?" Ninth Auntie looked at her daughter blankly.

"Lan Ya's parents are long gone. Although she has an uncle, it's almost as if she has none. He not only seized their family property but also mistreated his niece, forcing her to live in a thatched hut. You could say their family has practically no elders. Since Lan Ya left, the Lan family has been cut off. The family is simple, which is enough to tempt my daughter. If she marries into that family, she can make her own decisions, without having to serve her in-laws or follow any rules. Aunt, I've had enough of life in our family. I'm always careful and calculating. Aunt, are you tired?" Lian'er sighed. From birth until now, she couldn't remember the last time she spoke her true feelings. She really didn't want to go from a family where even her own mother couldn't call her "mother.

" "Aunt will find you a simple family," Ninth Aunt said dismissively. She had some influence in this family because of the master's favor, and she absolutely refused to let her daughter marry into an ordinary family.

"Li Yuanbai managed to build a brick house all by himself and pamper his daughter. Aunt, isn't that an achievement? He's already so wealthy and powerful. The Zhang family can't even compare to the richest families in the world, yet we're already this prosperous. I wouldn't even dare to dream of anything more wealthy, let alone someone as promising as Li Yuanbai." Zhang Lian'er lowered her eyes, speculating about Li Yuanbai's background. A noble young master? A reclusive nobleman? She hadn't even told her own mother these things, not because she didn't trust her, but because her mother sometimes couldn't keep her mouth shut. She didn't want anyone else to challenge her for Li Yuanbai. From her observation, Li Yuanbai was probably more than that. Zhang Lian'er believed that the Li Yuanbai that everyone saw now was not the real Li Yuanbai. Since that was the case, she dared to take a gamble and fight for a future of unimaginable glory!

"Aunt still thinks I should marry into a better family." Ninth Aunt still didn't approve of Li Yuanbai.

"A better family, Auntie, how did my eldest sister marry?" Zhang Lian'er asked self-deprecatingly. Her eldest sister was the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, but so what? Her father still wanted her to marry into an official family as a concubine. This old man, almost forty years old, whose sons were already married and had children, still wanted to bring his eldest sister into the family. What was the purpose? Wasn't it all for his father's wealth and status? For the family, daughters were the best marriage commodities for all kinds of needs. Legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters were the same. The only difference was that legitimate daughters had a higher price. For example, her eldest sister, although a concubine, was the concubine of a high-ranking official of the fourth rank. Illegitimate daughters had a lower price. Zhang Lian'er had an illegitimate sister who got married, but she only became a concubine of the seventh or sixth rank. Their family's status was such that they were acceptable to ordinary people, but not enough to go any higher. They could become legitimate wives, but forget about becoming an official's wife. Because of this, Zhang Lian'er made up her mind to take a gamble. Could it be worse than becoming a concubine?

"Auntie, while Father still dotes on you, please help your daughter." From a young age, she had always avoided the limelight. The Zhang family all knew that this seventh daughter, born to the Ninth Concubine, was dull and unlikable. If it weren't for the Ninth Concubine's beauty and favor, she would have been forgotten long ago.

"Alright, alright, you're my darling, how could I not help you?" The Ninth Concubine only had this one daughter; who else would she favor?

"Thank you, Auntie!" Zhang Lian'er was truly devoted to her mother. She had already decided to bring her aunt to live with them in the future.

"If only Li Yuanbai didn't have that daughter, then my daughter wouldn't have to marry into another family and become someone else's mother." The Ninth Concubine scoffed. Raising someone who isn't her own is pointless!

"Auntie, life can't always be perfect. If I can marry a good husband, I'll be content." Zhang Lian'er flicked her finger, her bright red nails dancing before her eyes. A coldness hidden in her eyes was unseen by others. For a three-year-old child, anything could happen!

Zhang Lian'er had thought things through perfectly. However, she completely forgot one thing: just because she thought things through didn't mean others had to follow her lead. Just because she was willing to marry, did others have to marry her?

Chapter 29

"What, he refused!?" Zhang Lian'er looked at the matchmaker, Aunt Tao, in disbelief. She was a virgin, with seven-tenths of her mother's good looks. If she hadn't pretended to be stupid for so many years, her father would have already set his sights on her. Why would Li Yuanbai not like her? She had met Li Yuanbai once when she was out. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent someone to inquire about him. But to be honest, Zhang Lian'er felt that he was not simple, but his appearance was indeed in line with his current status as a country bumpkin.

"Hehe, Seventh Miss, others really think Li Yuanbai is unworthy of you. You are a beauty of unparalleled grace; even if you entered the palace, you would not be inferior. Why don't I take another look for you?" Having received a solid two taels of silver from Li Yuanbai, Aunt Tao also helped him out this time.

"Didn't you talk to him properly?" Zhang Lian'er raised an eyebrow, looking at Aunt Tao sharply.

"I did, I did, I told him all the good things about you, Miss." Aunt Tao panicked, regretting her actions. If she had known this would happen, she would never have accepted this matchmaking offer. Everyone thought the Seventh Miss of the Zhang family was a fool; if anyone dared to say that to her in the future, she would be furious!

"What did he say?" Zhang Lian'er's face darkened; she hadn't expected anyone to reject her!

"He, he said he's not worthy of you, Miss." Aunt Tao broke out in a cold sweat. This Seventh Miss's aura was too powerful; she, a mere matchmaker, couldn't handle her.

"Not worthy?" Zhang Lian'er sneered.

"Qingmei, see Aunt Tao out." Zhang Lian'er didn't try to keep her any longer. She wouldn't keep a useless person like her who was more trouble than she was worth.

Aunt Tao stood outside the door, wiping her forehead and letting out a long sigh of relief. She didn't dare continue to protect the Seventh Miss's matchmaking. Money was important, but she needed to be alive to spend it.

Inside the house, Zhang Lian'er was wringing her handkerchief, her face filled with barely concealed malice, the bright red stain on her fingers making her look even more chilling. "

Fine, very well, Li Yuanbai, how can you say no to what I, Zhang Lian'er, have my eye on? You don't want to marry me? Heh heh, then I'll make sure you have no choice but to marry me!"

Neither Li Yuanbai nor his daughter from Lanjia Village expected that rejecting a bizarrely proposed marriage would lead Zhang Lian'er to target them.

Born into a family of cultivators, Li Yuanbai, whose aptitude was neither particularly good nor bad, was never a focus of his family's cultivation. His parents, also from a family of cultivators, had long since lost any affection for their child; to them, he was merely a stepping stone on their cultivation path. Lacking high value, he naturally failed to attract their attention. This lonely childhood instilled in Li Yuanbai a cold and detached heart, perhaps one reason why he was able to eventually reach the Nascent Soul stage through the cultivation of the Chaos Technique. After joining the Taixu Sect, he received no favor from any powerful figure and had to rely solely on his own efforts. His growth was also marked by the absence of companionship, further exacerbating his cold nature. By the time the Taixu Sect finally noticed him, it was too late; Li Yuanbai's personality was already set—an extremely cold and ruthless individual.

It can be said that, up to this point, his daughter, Ya Ya, is the only person Li Yuanbai truly cares about. If in the past he was indifferent to everyone else, now his life is solely devoted to his daughter; nothing else matters to him. He was like this even when he was weaker, and now he has even more reason to be so.

Moreover, Li Yuanbai felt that he couldn't even handle all his energy focused on his daughter, let alone care about other people's affairs.

Li Yuanbai held his daughter and sighed comfortably. Sleeping with his daughter, letting her do as she pleased even while she was asleep—Li Yuanbai no longer resisted this. His daughter was his tribulation; there was no way to escape it, so from the moment he understood this, he chose to accept it.

He accepted it, and then every night he let his daughter fall asleep in his arms, and then, his daughter would slide towards his crotch. No matter how much calming talisman he used, in the end, he found that he was the one who gained the most pleasure, simply because of his daughter's little hands. Now, this was all he could do. What happened that night in the bathtub, most importantly, the pleasure of his desire being released in his daughter's warm little mouth—but Li Yuanbai couldn't bring himself to let his daughter experience that again.

Deeply ingrained worldly ethics still influence Li Yuanbai. Although he has taken the first step, this influence remains. Moreover, Li Yuanbai believes that this step he took was only to better eliminate his inner demons and his obsession with his daughter. Therefore, the current Li Yuanbai is still unable to take this step.

Li Yuanbai, caught up in the situation, forgot that once you take the first step, how far away can the second be? No matter how difficult, can it be more difficult than the first step? Once the seed of the beginning is planted in your heart, anything can become the opportunity for that seed to sprout.

Chapter 30:

"Ya Ya, do you want to go to the county town? There's a lantern festival for the Lantern Festival. If you want to go, Dad will take you." The lantern festival, no matter how beautiful, couldn't tempt Li Yuanbai. For him, what he saw before him had long since faded into indifference. But Li Yuanbai was thinking of his daughter; children should enjoy such lively celebrations.

"Dad, let's celebrate the New Year first." Ya Ya's lips twitched imperceptibly. Right now, they should be preparing for the New Year.

"That's true. What does Ya Ya want to eat for the New Year?" For Li Yuanbai, whether it was the New Year or not was no different from any other day. As for rural customs, he knew nothing about them; as long as his daughter liked it, that was enough.

"Dad, let's celebrate the way the villagers celebrate." Ya Ya had a headache. Was she already starting to worry about her father at such a young age? She knew her father genuinely didn't care about these things at all. Ya Ya found it strange; the New Year was a major event for every family, but in the past three years, she hadn't seen any particular emphasis on it from her father. Good wine and meat? They had it every day. Paper-cut window decorations and couplets? Her father hadn't even considered them. If it weren't for a villager reminding them, Ya Ya believed her father wouldn't have known about these things.

Because of this, Ya Ya became even more curious about who her father really was. In Ya Ya's knowledge, regardless of social status—from royalty to commoners—everyone valued the New Year just as much, despite differences in material conditions. But her father clearly didn't know how to celebrate the New Year. Ya Ya even felt that if it weren't for her, her father might not have celebrated the New Year at all, just like he did at other times.

"How did they celebrate?" He'd celebrated three New Years, but Li Yuanbai hadn't really remembered.

"Dad, I'll ask Aunt Si's family tomorrow." After a series of setbacks, Ya Ya's resolve began to strengthen. She nodded firmly; her family also wanted to celebrate the New Year joyfully.

"Remember to bring paper and write it down." Li Yuanbai really didn't care about these trivial matters in his eyes. Using paper and pen was the safest option. If his daughter wanted to have a good New Year, he would celebrate it with her.

"Ya Ya will definitely remember it clearly before coming back." Ya Ya lowered her head, deeply feeling that her supposedly strong heart still needed to become even stronger.

After a long time, Ya Ya accepted the final truth with a mix of laughter and tears. She had a very powerful father, but even such a powerful father was a child with little common sense.

Cultivation families instilled in them from a young age the cultivation principle of strength above all else. From the day they became aware of the world, everything they did was for strength. The strong prey on the weak. If they didn't want to become someone else's prey, they would strive to make others their prey. Even this wasn't enough for cultivators to work hard for. Who would bother with the trivialities of life? Cultivators never celebrated the New Year. Their seclusion was measured in years. Mortals lived in days, but cultivators' cultivation years were at least in years. Many secluded themselves for decades or even centuries. It could be said that the New Year never existed in the eyes of cultivators.

"Let's go see the lantern festival for the Lantern Festival." Li Yuanbai made his decision. He and his daughter had been too isolated for the past three years. Cultivation requires traveling and honing one's skills while seeking opportunities for breakthroughs. Ordinary people also need to see a wider world and broaden their horizons. Being confined to a small world all day will only make one more short-sighted. Given his and his daughter's current situation, Li Yuanbai also hoped that they could let go of their attachments in a wider world.

"Dad, I want a lantern." Ya Ya firmly made her decision, skipping the important New Year celebrations and discussing the lantern festival first.

"Dad will definitely pick the most beautiful lantern for Ya Ya!" He patted his daughter's head. During the New Year, he only knew one thing: his daughter, Ya Ya, had grown another year older.

Chapter 31

"Dad, Happy New Year!" On New Year's Eve, the father and daughter faced a table laden with a dazzling array of dishes. Although it seemed somewhat ridiculous, Ya Ya knew that this was what the real New Year was all about. Every dish was essential; this was the true flavor of the New Year. Even if they couldn't finish it all, they would still celebrate the New Year this way. Besides, even large families couldn't possibly finish the New Year's feast. The more people there were, the more food they had to cook, and they still couldn't finish it all.

"Good, another year has passed, and Ya Ya has grown a year older." Handing his daughter a purse, seeing her joy for the New Year, Li Yuanbai also learned about some customs. During the New Year, elders would give their children lucky money.

"Thank you, Dad!" Ya Ya calmly accepted the purse. Although it looked bulging and felt excessively heavy, Ya Ya wanted to tell her father that New Year's money was just a copper coin in the purse, a few taels of silver from slightly better-off families, and even the wealthiest families would give their children something a little more valuable—gold ingots, jewelry, jade pendants—but it would never fill the purse to the brim.

"Open it and see," Li Yuanbai said, waiting for his daughter's increasingly delighted expression.

Then Ya Ya was completely speechless. Silver notes?! Has anyone ever seen anyone give children silver notes as New Year's money? This is equivalent to giving New Year's money with checks in modern times. Removing the silver notes, Ya Ya once again admired her father's imagination. Below was a bag full of loose silver. No wonder the purse was bulging, no wonder it was so heavy.

"Dad, Ya Ya doesn't need so much." Ya Ya never lacks food; she can eat whatever she wants. As for clothes, she has her own walk-in closet filled with new clothes waiting to be worn. And the collection keeps growing; Dad makes her new clothes every season, and many are forgotten before she even has a chance to wear them. As for pocket money? In an era of stable prices and high silver value, an ordinary family's annual income is no more than ten taels. How much do you think Ya Ya can possibly spend?

"Keep it for fun." Li Yuanbai never cared about these gold and silver items. He had plenty of them. In the cultivation world, only spirit stones were popular; cultivation and transactions were all conducted using spirit stones. Why not use gold and silver to give his daughter a life of luxury here?

As for whether his daughter would suspect why he had so much money, no. He knew his daughter well; his Ya Ya was intelligent, and he was extraordinary. Whether others knew or not, Li Yuanbai didn't care, but his daughter certainly knew long ago. They lived together, and many small things revealed the unusual nature of their family, yet his daughter had never said anything. His clever daughter had chosen the wisest way: to trust, to trust her father. That was enough.

"Dad, Ya Ya is still young, she doesn't need so much." Ya Ya rolled her eyes inwardly. Play? Dad, you tell your daughter how to play? Burn silver notes, crack walnuts with silver?

"It's alright, just leave it wherever you want. You can play with it whenever you want." If only his daughter could use a storage bag, if only she had spiritual roots, even the worst five spiritual roots would do, as long as she could cultivate. Li Yuanbai felt a little sad; why didn't such an intelligent daughter have spiritual roots?

"Thank you, Father." Ya Ya took the purse and went into the room to put it away. It seemed her father wasn't going to take it back. She could sense his thoughts; her father didn't care about the gold and silver. She was his daughter, and since he didn't care, she didn't care either.

"Eat, or it'll get cold." As long as his daughter liked it, Li Yuanbai decided to give her as much as possible whenever he had the chance. Although he didn't know how much gold and silver he had, Li Yuanbai estimated that if he didn't speed up and increase the amount, he wouldn't be able to complete his plan to give it all to his daughter.

After the New Year, the Lantern Festival came next. As the father and daughter had decided in advance, they went to the county town to see the lantern festival!

Chapter 032

In this timeline, people already had the custom of eating glutinous rice balls (yuanxiao) during the Lantern Festival. Moreover, the flavors of glutinous rice balls were varied, with all sorts of sweet and unusual savory flavors. When Ya Ya first saw them, she couldn't help but sigh, "What a terrible novel! It always portrays ancient people as having no entertainment, just waiting for time-traveling women to show off their skills. Without time-traveling women, how would ancient people survive?" Ya Ya roared inwardly, "The imagination of the ancients is in no way inferior to that of modern people!"

While complaining, Ya Ya was making glutinous rice balls by the stove. She wanted to make a bowl for her father herself. Compared to the various filled glutinous rice balls, Ya Ya preferred the small ones she was making now. They were about the size of her little finger, without any filling, just the aroma of rice. After they were cooked, she would put them in a bowl, add cooking water, and then add sugar—white sugar, brown sugar, rose sugar, all kinds of sugar, Ya Ya liked them all.

Soon, the glutinous rice balls were ready. She put them in a bowl and carried them into the main room. Her father had given her such a big New Year's gift, but she had nothing. Embroidery? Ya Ya gritted her teeth. Her father had hired someone to teach her, but she really had no talent. Cross-stitch was all the rage now, and she had tried it to earn some extra money, but she couldn't do it at all. She couldn't even do the most basic stitches properly, let alone how to start or finish with different colored threads. The front was sparse and messy, and the back was a complete disaster—a tangled mess of hemp thread, uneven and pitted. Even she herself disliked the finished product; how could she possibly sell it?

When she arrived here, her father found her a teacher. However, this skill might truly require talent. She couldn't even do color matching without it now, and it would be even worse here. No matter how skilled the teacher was, they couldn't overcome the student's clumsiness. Fortunately, her father said that their family didn't plan to produce embroiderers. Learning needlework was just to cultivate her temperament. If she couldn't do it, so be it; it wasn't a big deal. Just because she couldn't embroider didn't mean she couldn't wear clothes. Needlework, which

best showcased a girl's skills, was out of the question for Ya Ya. Her wish to embroider a purse as a gift for her father was dashed. She couldn't think of anything else. In the end, only this was left: making glutinous rice balls. As for cooking, she used to be content with just being full and didn't have the time or money to study culinary delights. Even now, she only learned to make glutinous rice balls because she thought the ones sold outside were too expensive. She made them small and without fillings, initially to save time, but later she gradually came to like these small glutinous rice balls. "

I can't cook gourmet dishes, so I'll just make you a bowl of glutinous rice balls. What it is doesn't matter; the most important thing is the thought that counts," Ya Ya comforted herself.

"Dad, eat some glutinous rice balls! I made these myself!" Ya Ya proudly raised her little head. Dad, be proud of your daughter!

"Ya Ya is so amazing!" Li Yuanbai quickly picked up the glutinous rice balls, looked down, and his lips curved into a wide smile. Ya Ya looked as if she had done the most amazing thing in the world. He couldn't let his daughter laugh, or she would get angry.

He chewed the rice balls carefully. Although he couldn't help but laugh at his daughter's proud expression, Li Yuanbai's heart warmed with the rice balls. This was the first time someone had washed their hands and made soup for him. The first time someone had thought of him so purely and simply, without any ulterior motives, without any ill intentions, without any greed. Just thinking of him like this, making him a small bowl of glutinous rice balls. This feeling was so good.

Li Yuanbai closed his eyes, experiencing a profound realization. Just moments ago, after sensing his daughter's purest affection for him, his cultivation had improved. He could feel his early Nascent Soul cultivation beginning its ascent towards the perfect early Nascent Soul stage. Furthermore, he had also refined his mental state. Cultivation requires the simultaneous advancement of both body and mind; neither can be lacking to achieve the Great Dao.

"Dad, is it delicious?" Ya Ya looked at Li Yuanbai, clearly expecting praise. Li Yuanbai's realization happened in an instant, and Ya Ya hadn't noticed.

"Mmm, it's really delicious. No one can compare to Ya Ya's glutinous rice balls. Ya Ya, hurry up, let's finish eating and then we'll set off." What his daughter made for him was the most delicious food in the world to her father. Li Yuanbai opened his eyes. Generally, cultivators who achieve enlightenment choose to go into seclusion, but now, for Li Yuanbai, nothing was more important than spending time with his daughter.

If he weren't using his cultivation techniques to manage the household every day, Li Yuanbai would truly believe he was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person living with his daughter.

"Mmm," Ya Ya smiled, her eyes crinkling as she ate the glutinous rice balls she had made, her heart filled with joy.

"Daddy, so beautiful!" After finishing the rice balls, the father and daughter prepared to set off. Li Yuanbai had prepared a carriage. Having just witnessed her father's generosity with the New Year's money, Ya Ya wasn't surprised that the family had a carriage. However, to show her childlike innocence, Ya Ya looked at her father with bright, admiring eyes.

"Ya Ya is four years old now. From now on, Daddy will take Ya Ya out more often." In the past, Li Yuanbai worried that his daughter was too young and her body wouldn't be able to handle going out. Now, seeing that his daughter was gradually becoming more sensible, going out for fun wouldn't be a problem. However, he still made the most comprehensive arrangements. Although outsiders could see a driver, it was actually his puppet technique. The ordinary horses were actually spirit beasts that he had disguised, and he had enhanced the carriage with various talismans. Everything was to ensure that his daughter was comfortable and not burdened by the bumpy ride.

"Really? Daddy will take Ya Ya out to play often from now on?" Ya Ya hugged her father excitedly. For four years, because she was too young, her activities had been confined to Lan Family Village. Now, she could finally go out and truly experience the full spectrum of ancient life.

"As long as Ya Ya is happy." Holding his daughter tightly to prevent her from bumping into anything, Li Yuanbai felt it was all worth it as long as his daughter was happy.

"Thank you, Daddy!" She kissed Li Yuanbai's cheeks deeply. Daddy was so good!

Li Yuanbai was stunned for a moment. This wasn't the first time his daughter had kissed him today, but he felt a change in his feelings towards her kisses. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply put those thoughts aside.

"Let's go!" Let nature take its course. If he couldn't understand it now, he would understand it later.

"Let's go!" Ya Ya cheered.

The father and daughter chatted and laughed as they drove towards the county town. Little did they know that what awaited them wasn't the lively and enchanting lantern festival, but their first major trouble in four years.

Chapter 33

"Ya Ya, there are a lot of people on the street. Hold on tight to Dad. If you get separated in the crowd, just stand on the side and wait for Dad to find you. Don't run around by yourself, okay?" When it comes to crowds, Li Yuanbai has actually seen less than Ya Ya. He is a person who only knows how to cultivate. Even if he needs something, he is straightforward and doesn't care about crowds. So when he entered the county town and saw the crowds on the street, Li Yuanbai never expected that a Lantern Festival would be so lively.

As soon as his daughter was born, he used her and his own blood essence to create a love charm on both of them. He could sense whatever his daughter did, unless she was miles away. He also set up a spirit array around the clothes she wore. But this didn't mean he could rest easy. The love charm and the spirit array would only be activated if his daughter faced any danger. His daughter was the apple of his eye, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance. That's why Li Yuanbai gave her so many instructions, determined to get all the puppets, guards, and maids ready as soon as he got back, to prevent any unforeseen events.

"I know, Dad, you talk too much! Ya Ya will stay with you." Ya Ya glared at Li Yuanbai. She wasn't a three-year-old!

"Dad, I'll hold you." Li Yuanbai's heart fluttered again at his daughter's glare. He seemed to know the answer to his own inner turmoil, but now wasn't the time to think about that. Protecting his daughter was the most important thing.

He was really stupid. He thought for so long and talked for so long, but his daughter was so small, why not just carry her?

"Daddy, hug me." Ya Ya rolled her eyes again in her heart. She found herself seeing more and more of this other side of her father. However, she liked this side of him. Her father before was really too cold and aloof.

Fine, let him carry her. She wasn't a willful person. She knew her father was doing this for her safety. Besides, she was so small. If she walked, she wouldn't see the dazzling array of stalls on the street, but rather the dusty legs and feet of the people coming and going. With her father carrying her, she wouldn't get covered in dust and could see more clearly. Why not?

"Hold on tight, Daddy." Not reassured, Li Yuanbai tightened his grip, holding his daughter even more securely in his arms.

"Daddy, let's go over there." Ya Ya pointed to the busiest stall. With so many people, there must be something attractive there.

"Okay, let's go over there." Holding his daughter, he walked in the direction she pointed. When they squeezed in, they realized it was a sugar figurine shop. There were two craftsmen, who looked like father and son. They were both very skilled, and the sugar figurines they made were lifelike. No wonder everyone patiently waited in line.

"Dad, I want one too!" Perhaps there are skilled craftsmen like this in modern times, but for Ya Ya, who was content with just enough to eat and wear, this was the first time she'd ever seen one, so of course she was excited.

"Okay, let's wait in line." Holding his daughter, Li Yuanbai also joined the queue.

"Little girl, what kind do you want?" The two craftsmen were quick, and it wasn't long before it was Ya Ya's turn.

"One that looks like Dad, and one that looks like me!" This was what Ya Ya had already decided.

"What a filial little girl, it'll be ready soon." The craftsman who looked like her father spoke, his hands moving with equal speed. Ya Ya watched, mesmerized.

She truly understood for the first time that there were masters among the common people. "So lifelike!" Holding the sugar figurine in her hand, Ya Ya exclaimed again. It was a perfect replica of her and her father, and not only did they look alike, but most importantly, their spirit was the same. This was no ordinary skill.

"Ya Ya, come down first, Daddy's going to give you the money." His daughter held the sugar figurine in both hands. With so many people around, Li Yuanbai couldn't conjure money out of thin air; he had to take it from his purse like everyone else. However, he was worried about his daughter holding him while he took the money, so he decided to put her down first.

"Mmm," Ya Ya's attention was still on the sugar figurine. Li Yuanbai put her down, but she didn't move, continuing to play with it.

"Don't move, wait for Daddy to give you the money," he instructed his daughter. Seeing her fixed on the sugar figurine, Li Yuanbai smiled. She was such a child; it seemed he had been wrong before. He should take her out more often.

Li Yuanbai never expected that such an unexpected event would occur in that instant. The crowd suddenly became even more congested, as if something unusual had happened in the distance, causing panic and shoving. Li Yuanbai's first thought was of Ya Ya at his feet, but after pushing through the throng, his daughter was nowhere to be seen!

Chapter 34

Li Yuanbai was shocked and wanted to quickly use his magic to search, but the crowd that had just been pushed aside was now packed together again. Li Yuanbai couldn't possibly use his magic here. However, Li Yuanbai also knew that this was the best time to find his daughter. Whether his daughter had been taken away or accidentally separated from him, she couldn't be too far away. If he didn't search now, and missed the opportunity, it would only make the search more difficult. He was a cultivator, not a god. Even gods couldn't just think or look around to find someone. There was also a difference in distance between him and his daughter's love charm. The farther away, the weaker the connection. Unless his daughter suffered a bloody disaster, he wouldn't be able to sense her location immediately as the distance increased.

But now that the crowd was so dense, Li Yuanbai couldn't search at all. Li Yuanbai really wanted to slap the crowd away, but he couldn't. These were mortals. Even if he didn't care about the heavenly tribulation, he had to think about Ya Ya. If a cultivator harmed a mortal, it would bring disaster to their descendants. This was a kind of protection from the heavens for mortals who couldn't cultivate. No one, no matter how powerful, could resist it.

Li Yuanbai, though anxious, had no choice but to grab one person and ask what was happening, trying to disperse the crowd first.

"What happened?"

"Fire!" The person being grabbed was clearly displeased, his tone sharp, and he rushed to push his way into the crowd, but Li Yuanbai wouldn't let go.

"Where's the fire?" Upon hearing this, Li Yuanbai looked around. He couldn't forcefully disperse the people, and checking for the source of the fire wasn't an option either. He looked, but there was no fire at all!

"Ah?" The person being grabbed, already furious—"You're risking your life, blocking others from escaping!"—but then he realized that everyone was running and pushing, but there was no fire, not even a wisp of smoke.

"Brother, where's the fire?" He quickly grabbed another person, asking one after another. Before long, the news spread, and everyone finally stopped running. Indeed, there wasn't even a wisp of fire; why were they running?

Finally, they figured it out. Children were playing with lanterns in some corner, one fell to the ground, and then someone shouted "Fire!" In crowded places, everyone's biggest fear is fire. Hearing "fire," they didn't care about the details and ran, one after another, resulting in the scene just now.

Regardless of the situation, Li Yuanbai only wanted to find Ya Ya. Just as he was about to leave, he looked down and saw two sugar figurines lying on the ground—the ones his daughter had just been holding, one of him and one of his daughter.

Li Yuanbai picked them up and held them in his hand. Ya Ya liked them so much; he wanted to keep them safe for her. She would be so happy when she returned.

Without further delay, Li Yuanbai quickly released his divine sense to search for his daughter. He had already told her not to wander off if she got lost in this bustling market; she should stand on either side of the street and wait for her father to find her.

Li Yuanbai clenched his fists. Nothing! He had searched the entire market; there was no sign of his daughter!

With a target in mind, he could use his divine sense to search, but his daughter wasn't among them. He could continue searching with his divine sense, but that would slow things down. The county town wasn't like Lanjia Village, which could be seen in a glance. Li Yuanbai was even more anxious; where had Ya Ya gone?

But despite his anxiety, Li Yuanbai remained rational. There was only one reason his daughter wasn't on this street: Ya Ya hadn't been accidentally separated from him by the crowd, but rather someone had deliberately caused it!

He knew his daughter best. Ya Ya was never willful; she always kept her promises. If she said she would wait for him, she would definitely wait. And now she wasn't waiting, so someone must have made her unable to wait!

The thought that Ya Ya had been kidnapped made Li Yuanbai's heart tighten even more. A mix of emotions welled up inside him—worry, tension, anger, and heartache—but he couldn't care less about any of that now; he only wanted to find his Ya Ya.

He randomly entered the nearest inn, asked for a room, and then began searching for his daughter with all his might. Sometimes, desperation makes the mind work faster. Li Yuanbai slapped his forehead; when he set up a protective array on Ya Ya's clothes, why hadn't he remembered to add a tracking array? If he had that array, finding his daughter wouldn't have been a problem.

Li Yuanbai sighed, pulling himself out of his thoughts. It was too late to say anything now. Wait, Li Yuanbai had another flash of inspiration. Although everyone's arrays were generally the same, there were always subtle traces. He remembered a sensing array specifically designed to detect his own arrays; he could give it a try.

Without hesitation, Li Yuanbai focused his mind and began casting the array. Soon, Li Yuanbai was overjoyed—he had found her!

Chapter 035

With a thought, Li Yuanbai disappeared from the inn room. He reappeared in a deserted temple on the outskirts of the city, clutching the clothes tightly in his hand—the very clothes Ya Ya had worn that day.

Li Yuanbai's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected these people to act so quickly!

At the same time, Li Yuanbai couldn't figure it out. He and Ya Ya lived in seclusion in the mountain village. He usually kept to himself and Ya Ya was just a child. It was impossible for the father and daughter to have any enemies. But this incident was very likely a premeditated attack targeting them. Li Yuanbai really couldn't figure out who it was.

If it were a cultivator, Li Yuanbai immediately ruled it out. Those with lower cultivation levels than him couldn't possibly conceal their strength from him, and powerful beings with higher cultivation levels wouldn't bother with such tactics. Why would someone with such overwhelming power need to do that? Besides, Li Yuanbai knew he didn't have any deep-seated enemies in the cultivation world. On the path of cultivation, he never believed in the saying "a step back leads to a brighter future." He only knew that if you don't eliminate the root of the problem, it will regenerate. He didn't act rashly, but once he did, he would kill his opponent, sparing neither their life nor their soul. Therefore, Li Yuanbai believed this couldn't have been done by a cultivator. If it wasn't a cultivator, but a mortal, Li Yuanbai couldn't imagine who it could be.

His heart sank further. He didn't even know how to deal with his opponent. The most important thing now was how to find his daughter. Standing in the deserted temple, Li Yuanbai had to choose: outside the city or stay inside.

Whether Li Yuanbai's act of leaving Ya Ya's clothes here was intentional or unintentional, whether it was to lure him out of the city, or whether Ya Ya had indeed been taken out of the city and could not be delayed any longer, even if he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could not find anyone he wanted on the vast land.

Finally, Li Yuanbai decided to search outside the city first. Even at top speed, a mortal couldn't possibly travel a hundred miles in a single night. He would search within that area first, then return to the city. If Ya Ya was in the city, he was sure he could find her!

After making his decision, Li Yuanbai sat down, set up a protective array, and began searching the area within a hundred miles outside the city with his divine sense. "

Ya Ya, wait for Daddy, Daddy will definitely find you!"

Ya Ya groggily opened her eyes, shaking her head to clear her mind.

"Daddy—" Ya Ya thought she was in her own home. It was too dark. Ya Ya tried to open the window, but found it had been nailed shut from the outside. Now her memories returned.

She and her father had come to see the lantern festival, and then her father bought her two sugar figurines. She stood there waiting for her father to pay, when suddenly the crowd surged. She tried to grab her father's clothes, and then someone covered her mouth from behind. And then, she was here.

Even the slow-witted Ya Ya now understood her current situation; she was most likely abducted.

The thought of being kidnapped filled Ya Ya with panic. Influenced by her past life, her first thought was of the heartbreaking stories of abducted children she'd seen on television. Being sold directly was considered lucky; at least their physical health was preserved. If they fell into the hands of criminals who manipulated children into begging, it would be a tragedy—missed limbs, disfigured, crooked faces—you couldn't imagine the ruthlessness of these people unless you'd seen it with your own eyes. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Ya Ya dared not cry out loud, afraid of angering those outside and making her situation even worse. She tightly covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Daddy, where are you? Please come and save Ya Ya!

" "Ya Ya, don't be afraid, Daddy will find you!" Perhaps it was her own thoughts, but Ya Ya felt those words echoing in her ears. Wiping away her tears, Ya Ya wasn't afraid; Daddy would find her!

With her father's presence, Ya Ya calmed down considerably. "Don't panic," she thought, "I can't lose my composure." Ya Ya slowly groped her way through the dimly lit house. Although she knew the chances were slim, she had to try. Was there anything she could use? The result was as expected, but Ya Ya was disappointed; there was nothing.

"Boss, weren't we supposed to kill that girl? Why are we locking her up?" There was a voice outside the door. Ya Ya recognized it; someone had come in, and two people were talking. However, the content of their conversation almost made Ya Ya scream. Thankfully, she remembered to cover her mouth again.

Someone wanted her dead!
