47: Chapter 47 Why does this perfectly normal child have a mouth?

"My son, how are you doing in the Jade Maiden Sect?" Xiao Ye squatted down, wearing a Face of fatherly affection.

Xiao Yan puffed out his little chest and tilted his chin, looking exactly like a gamecock that had just snatched a hen: "Dad, I'm doing great! Your son is now the Personal Disciple of the Jade Maiden Peak Master, and I'm at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm! Isn't that amazing?"

"Holy crap—third level of the Qi Refining Realm in just half a year?" Xiao Ye's eyeballs nearly popped out, and his mouth hung open wide enough to fit a whole watermelon.

He had only one thought in his mind: Is this the realization of the legendary aptitude of a Great Emperor? Terrifying! Truly terrifying!

"Then... then how far have you practiced the Taihuang Flame Emperor Art that Dad gave you?" Xiao Ye swallowed his saliva.

"Oh~ that," Xiao Yan waved his little hand, as if swatting a mosquito, "I'm at the second level."

"..." Xiao Ye fell silent.

Damn it, is this what it feels like to be crushed by talent?

He had practiced for seven whole years just to climb to the first level, and this kid reached the second level in half a year? Xiao Ye felt like his heart had been struck by a hammer, hurting so much he nearly died on the spot.

He took a deep breath, deciding not to ask anymore. If he kept asking, he feared he would vomit blood and die.

But his mouth wouldn't listen, and in the end, he couldn't hold back: "Son, do you want to come home? Dad came this time just to see you, and by the way, to take you back to stay for a few days."

Xiao Yan shook his head, his little Face filled with "this baby is very busy": "Dad, I won't go back. Recently, I've felt the opportunity to Breakthrough to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, so I can't leave the Sect."

"Holy crap... I... I should have sewn my mouth shut!" Xiao Ye roared at the sky—

I just asked if you wanted to come home, but you answered that you're about to Breakthrough again.

Xiao Ye suddenly felt that he was just a useless piece of trash.

We're both living life for the first time, why is the gap so big?

He looked down at his own hands, then at his son's innocent little Face, mentally ranting like crazy: Heavens, giving this kid such talent is one thing, but why did you have to give him a mouth that can talk?

"Fine, fine," Xiao Ye waved his hand listlessly, "Then you Cultivate well, Dad won't disturb you."

"Dad, are you leaving?" Xiao Yan suddenly grabbed his hem, tilting his little Face up, his eyes sparkling.

Xiao Ye's heart softened—he was still reluctant to part with his dad after all.

"Dad, when you come next time, bring more Medicinal Pill. I need to show filial piety to my Master and Senior Sister."

Xiao Ye: "..."

Fine, even the little leather jacket is leaking air.

He sighed, patted his son's head, pulled two porcelain bottles from his embrace, and stuffed them into his hands: "Use them sparingly, don't eat them like sugar beans."

Xiao Yan took the porcelain bottles and grinned, revealing his little white teeth with the missing front tooth: "Thanks, Dad! Dad is the best!"

Xiao Ye turned and left, his back desolate, his footsteps heavy, looking exactly like an old father who had been drained dry.

From behind came Xiao Yan's crisp voice: "Safe travels, Dad! Remember to bring more next time!"

Xiao Ye didn't even turn his head, waving his hand, with only one thought in his mind: This son was probably a free gift for topping up his phone bill.

After leaving Jade Maiden Peak, Xiao Ye stood at the gate of the Jade Maiden Sect, gazing longingly.

He was waiting for the sisters Yang Mimi and Yang Yingying—just now, while he was visiting his son, these two girls had run off to take a bath.

About a quarter of an hour later, the twin sisters finally appeared.

Yang Mimi's hair was still wet, her Face flushed, and as soon as she saw Xiao Ye, she bounced over, chattering like a magpie announcing good news: "Brother Ye! You missed a huge scene just now!"

Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm: "What huge scene?"

"My sister and I went to the Fairy Lake to bathe!"

Yang Mimi's eyes sparkled, and she used her hands to gesture a huge circle, "Do you know, that lake was full of legs! Hundreds of Fairy bathing together! It was a sea of white, it made my eyes swim!"

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched.

Hundreds of Fairy? Bathing together? A sea of white?

The string in his brain snapped—if he had known, he wouldn't have gone to see his son!

What was a son compared to legs! His heart ached so much he nearly beat his chest and stomped his feet on the spot, his Face wearing the expression of having missed out on a hundred million.

Yang Yingying glanced at him, seemingly seeing through his restless heart at a glance, and unhurriedly dealt a finishing blow: "Don't even think about it. Even if they were all bathing naked, you wouldn't be able to get in. Fairy Lake, men are forbidden."

The little flame that had just ignited in Xiao Ye was doused with a basin of ice water, chilling him to the core.

Yang Yingying paused, then added languidly: "However, your son can go. He's still young, so he doesn't count as a man."

Pfft—Xiao Ye felt a knife pierce his heart, his HP bar dropping to zero.

Only one thought filled his mind: Heavens, a grand scene of hundreds of Fairy bathing, and you only let a brat see it? This is simply a waste of heaven's gifts! What a waste!

Xiao Ye, carrying a belly full of depression, boarded the flying boat back to Sunset City.

All the way, he kept thinking about that sea of white.

The flying boat flew for five days, and he was depressed for five days.

Five days later, the flying boat landed, and Xiao Ye set foot on the land of Sunset City again.

He headed straight for Lingdan Pavilion—

Firstly, because he hadn't seen Chen Qiaoqiao's sister and Big D and Little D for a long time;

Secondly, he planned to stock up on spirit materials for Foundation Establishment Pill.

Why buy here?

Nonsense, in Sunset City, one portion only costs fifty Spirit Stone, while Hehuan Sect dares to ask for one hundred!

Isn't this just the price difference of the place of origin?

While taking out Spirit Stone, Xiao Ye thought of watermelons from his past life: the farmer sells to the middleman for seven mao a jin, and the middleman turns around and sells it to the customer for seven yuan.

The wicked capitalists, even in a different world, it's still the same routine.

After buying the spirit materials, feeding Qiaoqiao's sister, he stuffed a lollipop into Big D and Little D's hands.

Xiao Ye clapped his hands in satisfaction and headed towards Qingshan Town with the sisters.

Upon arriving at the door, he was met with an overwhelming bombardment of children's voices.

"Dad! Dad! Dad!"

A dozen or so half-grown brats rushed over like little cannonballs, some hugging his legs, some tugging at his clothes, and one bold one even climbed directly onto Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was surrounded completely, so he quickly pulled out the little trinkets he bought in Sunset City from his embrace, giving one to each, and only after coaxing and shooing them away did he manage to get rid of these little ancestors.

The children dispersed, and the courtyard was finally quiet.

Xiao Ye wiped his sweat and turned to look into the house—his wives were waiting for him with smiles on their Faces.

He had prepared a large pile of Qi Gathering Pill and spirit gathering pill for each wife.

Before he took Xiao Yan to participate in the Sect entrance examination, he had already given Zhang Waner, Liu Qianqian, Bai Susu, and Li Linglong one Spirit Shaping Pill each, plus a pile of Qi Gathering Pill, and now they had already reached the Qi Refining Realm.

Xiao Ye stood in the courtyard and looked around, feeling wonderful inside: From now on, his concubines would all be cultivators! It would be very Face-saving to say it out loud.

The four newly promoted female cultivators were even more overjoyed.

Zhang Waner came to Xiao Ye's side, leaning on him, and said affectionately: "Master, I can go all night tonight."

The other three immediately echoed: "Me too!"

"I can too!"

"Add me in!"

Xiao Ye looked at the wolf-like and tiger-like gazes of these four before him, and his back felt a chill.

But to maintain a man's dignity, he cleared his throat and replied with four words, his Face unchanging: "Tonight, I will clear the level."
