Lu Yaoyao proudly lifted her chin. She spoke of her cultivation mainly because she didn’t want to bring shame to her Father, and she wanted him to be admired because of her. In the future, everyone would say that His Venerable’s daughter lived up to her father’s name, like father, like daughter… Father would certainly be proud of her, and just thinking about it made her happy.
Chao Muxue and Du Qianshan were quite envious. Chao Muxue, in particular, hadn’t been cultivating for long and was only at the initial stage of the Qi Condensation stage, while Du Qianshan was slightly better, but still hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Wen Zixing, on the other hand, wasn’t too envious. Being at the Golden Core stage was impressive, and it meant having some self-protection ability. In the future, when going out for training, if he was with Yaoyao, wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t have anything to fear? Hehe!
Lu Yaoyao looked around, “Anything else you want to ask?”
Wen Zixing and the others looked at each other, then shook their heads.
Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, happy to finally pass the hurdle.
“Ah, right, Yaoyao, that one from your home in Tianyan City, the person you introduced us to, isn’t he your daddy?” Chao Muxue suddenly remembered, frowning in confusion.
Lu Yaoyao nodded, “Yes!”
Suddenly reminded, Wen Zixing slapped his thigh hard, “So that’s your mother?” He hadn’t realized it was a woman disguised as a man.
“…” Lu Yaoyao was speechless. You’re not tired of living, are you? If Daddy heard that, even she wouldn’t be able to save him!
“Don’t talk nonsense. My daddy is definitely a man, and he has a bad temper with people other than me. If he knew you said that about him, he would definitely get angry.” Lu Yaoyao emphasized, “Daddy getting angry is very serious, got it?”
Wen Zixing was stunned. Also a man? As a modern guy who grew up with Internet, he immediately thought of the terms BL and m-preg, taking a sharp breath. Was this world so unscientific? Too scary!
Luckily, Wen Zixing didn’t say it out loud, or he would certainly have been hammered by Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Yaoyao thought for a moment, then earnestly requested, “Don’t tell others I have another father, okay? It’s enough that we know.” Since her friends had already met Daddy, she couldn’t hide it even if she tried. Now, she could only hope they would keep it a secret for as long as possible, at least until the current focus shifts away. Her Daddy was still in Tianyan City, and if it became known that she had two fathers, some reckless people who weren’t aware of the danger would certainly try to investigate. If they annoyed Daddy, he wouldn’t think twice about getting rid of them!
Yan Zihui took a while to close his shocked jaw. This news was explosive; if the ladies throughout the Cultivation Realm knew about it, who knows how many pillows would be soaked with tears… No, probably many were already doing so.
Wen Zixing and the others didn’t ask any more questions, just these bits of information were more than enough for them to digest slowly. They went on pinching Yaoyao’s cute cheeks to make up for her keeping secrets, and that was the end of it.
Lu Yaoyao, covering her flushed face, really didn’t want to speak anymore. She had no choice but to surrender her cute face under their abominable hands. It was too outrageous!
Thus, Lu Yaoyao stayed in East Ninth Peak without going out, with her friends coming to see her every day. Lu Yaoyao wasn’t the only person who got thrown into the limelight; Wen Zixing and the others also caught much attention. Not only did disciples from other sects come to inquire, but disciples from their own sect also surrounded them, trying to dig for information, forcing them to seek refuge in the East Ninth Peak as well.
Outside the East Ninth Peak, the place was bustling. The grand memorial ceremony of Elder Lu had passed, and the argumentative atmosphere that previously surrounded the Guiyuan Sect seemed to have ceased. It was as if they were merely attending a mourning event, and the previously noisy discussions seemed to have never happened, quietly settling down.
Whether the matter left no trace or silently planted seeds in people’s hearts, waiting for the right time to sprout, was yet to be determined.
For now, everyone’s attention was on another subject.
After a day of shock, people gradually came back to their senses, and after digesting the fact, were astounded. His Venerable had a child, and it was a daughter! In no time, the news spread throughout the entire Cultivation Realm at an unbelievable speed, reaching even the Demon Realm and the Devil Realm within a day.
The daughter of Dao Venerable – just this fact alone drove the entire Cultivation Realm crazy, with endless rumors coming out: it was said that her talent in cultivation was not inferior to His Venerable, having reached Foundation Establishment before even five years old, and maintaining a child’s appearance ever since. Now at eighteen, she was already at the Golden Core stage, surpassing even her genius father!
Outside Guiyuan, discussions were even more rampant, with even mortals unable to resist joining the gossip. The most heated debate was about who the child’s mother was, with everyone analyzing and arguing until their faces turned red, almost coming to blows. Unbeknownst to Lu Yaoyao, the Cultivation Realm had already assigned her one, two, three… and more potential mothers.
In the main hall of the Xianke Restaurant, nearly every table was buzzing with the latest gossip, as noisy as a common marketplace. Even the storyteller on stage wasn’t recounting the heroic battles of His Venerable against the devils, but was instead telling tales of his romantic feats.
“If one could win the beauty, that would be the pinnacle of life!” someone suddenly exclaimed.
Dao Venerable Hengwu represented the peak of cultivation. If one could receive a few pointers from him, their cultivation wouldn’t necessarily improve by leaps and bounds overnight, but at least it would progress rapidly. Not to mention other benefits. Being His Venerable’s only son-in-law would elevate one’s status immeasurably, not just in the Cultivation Realm but across all three realms, along with abundant cultivation resources…
Someone threw cold water on the idea: “Wake up, that’s still a child.”
“She looks like a child now, but she’ll grow up eventually.”
“Right! It’s said the young lady resembles His Venerable closely; her looks cannot be bad.”
Even though no one discussed His Venerable’s appearance, who didn’t know he was an extremely handsome man, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the number one beauty hopelessly in love with him.
People pondered, thinking about finding opportunities to be near the young lady more, in case she took a fancy to them.
The young lady would seek a Dao companion sooner or later, and any man she took a liking to, His Venerable would surely have to accept him.
With that thought, the crowd’s gaze flickered with calculation, instantly considering everyone here as potential rivals in love.

If anyone tried to make a move on Yaoyao, they would have to face down the Dao Venerable, Devil Venerable and Demon Emperor.
I appreciate Wen Zixing being up to date on novel possibilities in the world even if he was off base lololol.
Kinda… extremely gross for people to think of someone who looks 3 years old as a potential wife for sheer benefits though!
