Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

When Wu Tian was back on Earth, his business acumen was rated SSSSS. At this moment, he resembled a master merchant as he stared directly at the proprietress.

"I... I understand." The proprietress finally relented, which made Wu Tian smile.

"By the way, what’s your name?"

"Hua Shisanniang."

"Hua Shisanniang?" Wu Tian glanced at the woman before him and nodded. He could tell from her features that she must be the thirteenth daughter of the Hua Family.

The lord of the Hua Family had hoped his wife would bear him a son, but to his dismay, she gave birth to thirteen daughters in a row. Having received little affection since childhood, Hua Shisanniang strove to make something of herself, eventually becoming the owner of the largest brokerage firm in Xiuyuan Country and earning the respect of her family.

"I have something for you to do now," Wu Tian stated bluntly. Knowing he had leverage over her, he saw no reason not to use it. Lazily, he continued, "The tableware, and everything else in this quadrangle courtyard—I want you to replace it all."

"Yes." Hua Shisanniang nodded, a hint of reluctance in her expression.

Seeing her unwilling compliance, Bo Gu and Meng Tian chuckled.

Bo Gu said, "Do you have any idea who this is? He is the president of the Blood Refiners Guild, which means he will one day be the head of the main Guild of Blood Refiners."

"What?" Hearing this, Hua Shisanniang was stunned.

Blood Refiner? Isn’t that a profession supposed to hide in the shadows? They don’t even have the Art of Blood Refinement, so how can they speak of a Blood Refiners Guild? This is ridiculous!

Meng Tian snorted, "You frog in a well. This man right here is the one who created the Art of Blood Refinement today."

"..."

Hua Shisanniang was dumbfounded, unsure if what Meng Tian and the others were saying was true. Regardless, she no longer dared to show any disrespect toward Wu Tian.

"This quadrangle courtyard will become the Blood Refiners Guild. Hua Shisanniang, since you run a brokerage firm, you must have many channels for information. I want you to publicize the Blood Refiners Guild," Wu Tian said with a smile. "Of course, it’s not without its rewards. I can help you with Blood Refinement. Perhaps your bloodline will undergo Evolution, even Reversion. That would be a tremendous fortune for you."

Reversion? Evolution?

"Thank you, sir," Hua Shisanniang said, expressing her gratitude at once. Now, she was genuinely and sincerely willing to work for Wu Tian. She made a silent vow to handle the tasks he assigned beautifully.

Otherwise, how could I possibly have the face to ask him for Bloodline Evolution and Reversion?

Wu Tian smiled, then turned his back to her. "You may leave."

His every move exuded a supreme, intimidating aura. As Hua Shisanniang looked at him, she felt that Wu Tian was a truly unfathomable man.

"Yes, I’ll leave right away. Rest assured, I will handle this matter perfectly."

After responding, Hua Shisanniang departed, her heart filled with the wonderful prospect of her bloodline evolving.

Once she was gone, Bo Gu chuckled. "She underestimated you earlier, sir. This will certainly run her ragged."

The words had barely left his lips when Wu Tian spoke. "Bo Gu, go and find out how many Blood Refiners there are in Xiuyuan Country. If you can’t, then you can forget about learning the Art of Blood Refinement."

"Ah!"

Bo Gu, who had just been gloating, was now on the verge of tears. He immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. I’m on it." With that, he too left.

Meng Tian didn’t dare to smirk as Bo Gu had. He kept his expression serious, though he was laughing on the inside.

"Meng Tian," Wu Tian called out again.

"What is it, sir?" Meng Tian felt a jolt in his heart, sensing something bad was coming, but he responded nonetheless.

"Go and find me some orphans."

"Huh?"

"Go." Seeing Meng Tian hesitating, Wu Tian’s tone suddenly turned frigid.

"No, I mean, I’ll go. I’ll go."

Meng Tian nodded helplessly; he had no choice but to go. He despaired, feeling a pang of sympathy for Bo Gu. A moment ago, he had been gloating over his companion’s misfortune, but now it was his turn. He, too, had to leave.

Wu Tian didn’t stay in the quadrangle courtyard for long. To officially establish it as the Blood Refiners Guild, some preparations were still needed, so he decided to return to the Xiuyuan Royal Palace for the time being.

As for Zhan Sha, Wu Tian wasn’t really concerned. The challenge to a duel in a few days was nothing more than a joke in his eyes.

Right now, there was only one true enemy in Wu Tian’s mind: the Undead Martial Sovereign.

Wu Tian felt that if he were to fight the Undead Martial Sovereign now, he would certainly be the one to lose.

The Undead Martial Sovereign... he can’t be killed. How is a fight like that even possible? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration.

When he arrived at the back garden of the Royal Palace, he saw Dao Feng and the others still cultivating diligently, with the little one leading them all.

"Dao Feng, when you throw a punch, you must have the will to vanquish demons and slay monsters in your heart. No matter who you’re facing, you must imagine them as a demon."

The little one was only four, and his voice was soft and child-like, yet he displayed a commanding presence far beyond his years.

"Sister Lan Niang, Sister Hong Ji, when you two draw your swords, your minds must be linked. How about this? From now on, you’ll eat together, bathe together, do everything together..."

Although these were the words of a child, Dao Feng and the others had no choice but to listen. Wu Tian stood to the side, watching the scene with an approving nod.

"Dad, don’t I deserve a reward?" The little one had sensed Wu Tian’s return and was now hopping over on his little feet, seeking praise.

"Don’t worry. I will teach you a new boxing art," Wu Tian said.

"Mhm." Only then did the little one flash a sweet smile.

Wu Tian personally went over to give Dao Feng and the others some pointers. Just then, a worried-looking Si’er approached them.

"Sect Leader, after I learned the Azure Empire meant to move against us, I sent spies into their territory. I’ve received intelligence about the general and the army they are sending." As the Queen, facing the impending arrival of a five-star power, she naturally had to investigate everything thoroughly to put her mind at ease. She held a carrier pigeon in her hands, a small message tied to its leg.

"Let me see." Wu Tian took the message from the pigeon’s leg and read it, a strange look crossing his face.

"The commander is Zhan Sha, renowned for being accomplished in both scholarly and martial pursuits. His father is a Blood Refiner. Although he failed at Blood Refinement his entire life, he still managed to strengthen his son Zhan Sha’s bloodline somewhat."

Wu Tian knew this was the man who wanted to challenge him. He continued reading the information on the other individuals.

"Qiankun Shi Guai of the Spirit Clan, a rock that gained sentience, commands the Rock Corps."

"Black Wolf, a General of the Azure Empire. His breath is a poisonous black wind."

"Hai Peng, a great roc from the sea, one of Zhan Sha’s Great Generals. His Great Roc Spreading Wings technique is formidable."

"General Octopus, General Sea Lizard, General Bat, General Carp..."

Wu Tian looked over at Dao Feng with an exasperated expression.

The little one also climbed onto Wu Tian’s shoulder and glanced at the message. His eyes suddenly widened, and he too looked at Dao Feng in surprise.

Dao Feng was bewildered, not understanding why the Sect Leader and the little one were staring at him like that.

The little one giggled. "Ji Gong battling the Lord of Qiankun Cave? Interesting, this is just too interesting."

Dao Feng was utterly baffled. What in the world are they talking about?
