Father, you are one of a kind.

Willow Deity's cryptic words once again rendered Shi Hao speechless.

Why was everyone speaking in riddles? He hated riddlers the most.

Looking at the silent Shi Hao, Willow Deity wanted to say something, but realizing it would affect many subsequent issues, she was forced to stop.

Willow Deity's gaze turned toward Xue'er.

Seeing Willow Deity's gaze, Xue'er understood that she was being asked to resolve this.

"Understood," Xue'er sighed.

Then, pulling herself together, she said to Shi Hao, "Father, listen to me."

Hearing Xue'er's call, Shi Hao looked up at her.

"Father, all of this is my fault. Because of my recklessness, the things I mentioned before happened. You don't need to overthink anything; you only need to know one thing: I am your daughter, and you are my father. There is no so-called parallel world. Rest assured on that point—Father is Father, there isn't a second one."

"If I say any more, I'll be struck by lightning," Xue'er spread her hands helplessly.

"I didn't expect that everything would actually start with me. Father, one day in the future, you will understand what happened today. It's useless to think too much now. Once you ascend to Above Sacrificial Dao, you will understand."

"My time is also running out. Really, I didn't expect the events to turn out like this, that the source of everything was actually myself."

After finishing her words, Xue'er suddenly came before Shi Hao and gave him a hug.

"Before I go, let me give Father a good hug. Father's embrace is truly warm. It's a pity for Mother," Xue'er looked at the restrained Yu Rou.

Then she pulled away from Shi Hao's embrace. "Father, be better to Brother in the future. He is your biological son and my biological brother... Oops, I let it slip. There won't be any trouble, will there?" Xue'er suddenly looked up.

Her body couldn't help but tense up, fearing she would be struck by lightning.

After a few moments, Xue'er wiped her forehead.

"That was close. I really can't stay any longer. If I stay, I'm afraid I'll say something wrong again. Mama Willow Deity, I'll leave Father to you then. I have to go."

"Father, goodbye. Perhaps one day in the future, we will meet again. At that time, I might not remember today's events, so I'll have to trouble you to help me remember them."

"Last but not least, be better to Mother." After saying that, Xue'er left a kiss on Shi Hao's cheek and bid him a smiling farewell.

Under the watch of Shi Hao and Willow Deity, Xue'er slowly turned into light, and then the light began to shrink.

Ultimately, she returned to her original infant form.

After Xue'er turned back into an infant, Willow Deity reached out to catch her, holding her in her arms.

Once Xue'er returned to her infant state, color returned to the Small World.

Outside in the Immortal Pool, the mermaid girl fell from the air back into the water.

Yun Xi and the others also recovered.

"You... how did you get here?" Yu Rou looked at Shi Hao with some fear.

What was going on? In the blink of an eye, Shi Hao had appeared before her.

"Husband, why are you here?" Yun Xi, holding Little Stone, looked at Shi Hao.

The Witch, Fire Spirit, Yue Chan, Qing Yi, and the others also looked at the suddenly appearing Shi Hao.

In their perception, Shi Hao had appeared out of thin air.

Only Willow Deity, who was holding Xue'er, knew that their time had just been paused. Naturally, they wouldn't know what had just happened.

"I heard you all gave birth, so didn't I come to visit our children?" Shi Hao looked at the women's gazes; everything that had just happened left his soul unable to return to his body for a long time.

However, for now, he had to handle the women's questioning.

When there were fewer people around, he would continue to question Willow Deity.

Willow Deity definitely knew something; Shi Hao had to find out what was going on.

"Shi Hao is here, everyone should be happy. Since you're here, Shi Hao, give your children names," Willow Deity spoke with a smile.

Hearing Willow Deity's words, Shi Hao nodded. "Who is the eldest?" Shi Hao looked toward Yun Xi.

"Our child was the first to be born, Husband," Yun Xi said, looking at the child in her arms with a gentle gaze.

Shi Hao came before Yun Xi and looked at the child in her arms. "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy." Yun Xi handed the child to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao took him and held him in his arms.

Although he already knew, and Yun Xi knew as well, Shi Hao still had to say it.

"You are special. Your name will be chosen by yourself when you grow up. For now, I'll call you by your childhood name, Little Stone." Shi Hao's answer surprised the women.

But they quickly reacted.

"You still decided to use the childhood name? The childhood name is also good, it sounds nice," Yun Xi said with a smile.

"Yes, this child is destined for it. This name fits him perfectly. This time, as his father, I naturally won't let him repeat the same mistakes. Don't worry, Yun Xi, with me here, little Shi Hao won't walk the path of the original future!"

Shi Hao said firmly, then handed the child back to Yun Xi.

Whatever weirdness existed was nothing before him.

Hearing Shi Hao's assurance, Yun Xi wore a smile. "I believe in Husband. I will also protect Little Stone. And with everyone here, we definitely won't let that happen again."

"Mhm." Shi Hao nodded tenderly.

"It's our child's turn. Our child is the second." At this time, the impatient Fire Spirit came before Shi Hao holding her daughter.

"Our child is a daughter. She's very cute. See, she looks just like me, right? She'll definitely be as beautiful as me when she grows up. You have to give her a nice name."

Fire Spirit said as she stuffed her daughter into Shi Hao's arms.

Being stuffed with a daughter by Fire Spirit, Shi Hao's face couldn't help but darken.

"As a mother, can't you be a bit more gentle? This is also your daughter." Shi Hao held his and Fire Spirit's daughter tightly.

Looking at the cute daughter in his arms, Shi Hao's heart was about to melt.

Shi Hao reached out to tease his daughter, and the daughter, teased by Shi Hao's pinky finger, let out pleasant laughter from time to time.

"Lingyue, Shi Lingyue. That is your name." Hearing such cute laughter, Shi Hao decided on her name.

"Lingyue... Lingyue, Lingyue... Not bad, it's a very nice name. I'll let you pass, Big Scoundrel." Fire Spirit took the daughter back from Shi Hao's arms, looking very satisfied.

"My little man, it's your daughter's turn. I gave birth to a big, chubby daughter for you. Take a look, she looks a lot like you." The Witch came before Shi Hao holding her daughter, who was still nursing.

She looked at Shi Hao with a face full of smiles, asking for a name for her daughter.

"A daughter? I like that. Daughters are a father's little quilted vests." Shi Hao leaned closer to The Witch, looking at the nursing daughter, feeling very happy.

"Yaoyao. She will definitely be as beautiful and moving as you when she grows up. The name Yaoyao suits her best." Looking at the charming and moving Witch, Shi Hao thought about how her daughter would inherit The Witch's appearance in the future.

Yaoyao suited her perfectly.

"Shi Yaoyao, did you hear that? This is the name your father gave you." The Witch laughed, lightly patting the daughter in her arms.

Future update times might be changed to the morning. I will notify everyone when it's decided.
