Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Ye Qingxian was growing exasperated.

Wu Tian, holding the little one, clearly didn’t want to waste words with her.

"How about I treat you two, father and daughter, to a nice drink?" Ye Qingxian proposed, biting her lip gently.

"You’re treating us?" Wu Tian paused, clearly not intending to accept.

The little one, however, had other ideas. She exclaimed, "Treating us to a drink is fine, but it has to be something unique. If it’s not delicious, I’m not going."

"..." Ye Qingxian felt her frustration return. How could a child be so picky?

"Let’s go. The drinks are definitely something you’ve never had before," Ye Qingxian said, having thought of a place.

She led Wu Tian and his daughter toward their destination. Wu Tian had no idea what Ye Qingxian was thinking; he felt as though he could never understand the minds of women.

By now, evening had fallen. The golden glow of sunset draped itself over the land, casting a beautiful light upon the surrounding shops. The people of this world truly rose with the sun and rested at dusk. As evening approached, the world grew quiet and serene.

Every step he takes is the same distance apart. Moreover, if I look closely, his soles aren’t actually touching the ground; there’s at least a millimeter of a gap. Ye Qingxian had been observing Wu Tian, and her pupils shrank at the discovery. She could see that Wu Tian’s feet were floating naturally!

Why? There’s a saying: ’The earth cannot bear the grace of his feet.’ It refers to an Immortal Emperor. But is Wu Tian an Immortal Emperor? In my opinion, he is absolutely not. If that’s the case, how can he do this? What are Wu Tian’s origins? Could he be the descendant of an Immortal Emperor?

Suddenly, a strange idea popped into her head. Ye Qingxian paid so much attention to Wu Tian because she was following her heart, and it was only recently that they had truly interacted. Wu Tian had left a rather good impression on her. First, he was exceptionally knowledgeable, aware of some secret Martial Arts Techniques. Second, he possessed an aura of mystery.

He had already piqued her interest—an effect countless people dreamed of achieving, but never could.

I must find out who you really are, Ye Qingxian thought, biting her lip with determination.

Wu Tian walked along quietly, unaware of what Ye Qingxian was thinking. He had allowed her to follow him because of the uncertain relationship between her and the Empress. He wanted to figure out what connection she had to the Empress. Even if she turned out to be the Empress, Wu Tian wouldn’t care.

After all, the current Wu Tian had obtained the inheritance of the Creation Martial Emperor and become the master of the Nine Dragon Ring. Within the Nine Dragon Ring lay countless Divine Beast eggs. At the same time, Wu Tian also possessed the legacy of all the gods and buddhas of the heavens: the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House. The treasure house contained innumerable Supreme Treasures. With these two heaven-defying Divine Artifacts, Wu Tian was confident. If anyone were to obtain power surpassing that of an "Immortal Emperor," just as the Creation Martial Emperor had, that person would be none other than himself.

After walking in silence, they soon arrived before a gigantic tree known as the "Liquor Tree." The tree was immense, as large as a tavern. Trees like this were exceedingly rare, and their sap was a fine liquor. When its sap was mixed with other alcohols or fruit juices, the flavor was elevated to a sublime level.

Ye Qingxian informed Wu Tian and the little one that this type of tree was first discovered by the Undead Martial Sovereign. To drink here, every bowl was exceedingly expensive.

Wu Tian hadn’t expected Ye Qingxian to bring him and the little one to such a place. She was truly generous.

Upon entering through the base of the tree, they found themselves in another world entirely. The decor wasn’t luxurious; the ornaments were all natural features of the interior. The darkness was dotted with the soft glow of Luminous Pearls and other similar objects.

"What would you like to drink?" Ye Qingxian asked, turning to Wu Tian and the little one after finding a wooden chair to sit on.

"Anything is fine with me," Wu Tian shrugged. A place like this had only come into existence during the ten thousand years he had been away. He had no idea what was good to drink here.

The little one, however, piped up, "Big Sister, what’s good to drink here?"

"There are many things to drink. Lots of them become special with just a drop of this tree’s sap. There’s sap-enhanced Plum Wine, Hundred Flowers Brew, and Monkey Wine, as well as various potent liquors, distilled spirits, and clear wines."

"I’ll have the Monkey Wine then," the little one said with a smile.

Seeing this, Wu Tian decided to order Monkey Wine as well.

Ye Qingxian nodded. In that case, she would also have Monkey Wine.

"Mr. Wu Tian, may I ask who else is in your family?" Only drinks were served here, with not a scrap of food in sight. After placing their order, Ye Qingxian stared intently at Wu Tian and posed her question.

"My parents," Wu Tian replied after a moment’s thought.

His parents? Ye Qingxian’s brow furrowed slightly. She figured that if Wu Tian dared to kill Law Enforcers and even murder someone in the Mystic Library, then his parents’ identities must be anything but simple. She felt she might be onto something.

"The drinks haven’t arrived yet. Why don’t we have a little chat while we wait?" Ye Qingxian suggested, her eyes glinting.

"Sure." A smile touched Wu Tian’s lips. He was curious to see what game she was playing.

"Who are some of your friends?" Ye Qingxian pondered for a moment. Asking directly about his background was difficult, but if she shifted the topic slightly and approached it indirectly, it would be fine.

"My friends?" Hearing the question, Wu Tian chuckled and replied casually, "There’s nothing to hide. I have many friends. Among them was one who was a genius before becoming a good-for-nothing; after being abandoned by his fiancée, he made a three-year pact and became a powerhouse. Another was born supreme, another was peerless with his double pupils, yet another wanted to seal the heavens, and then there’s another..."

"Are you joking?" Seeing the extraordinary people Wu Tian described, Ye Qingxian was unconvinced. She couldn’t deduce anything about his identity from these individuals. The people he spoke of were, without exception, peerless prodigies, yet she had never heard of any of them. It was simply inconceivable.

"Then who loves you the most?" she asked again, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"The supreme among women," Wu Tian chuckled. "Everyone calls her..."

"Don’t say it!" Ye Qingxian’s delicate body trembled as she immediately cut him off.

Heavens! The Empress? Was he talking about the Empress? What kind of joke was this? Casually mentioning an Immortal Emperor by name could incur the wrath of the heavens!

"If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to. Why lie to me?" Ye Qingxian couldn’t help but say, forcing down her astonishment. She had wanted to ask about his friends and loved ones. From them, she could likely deduce just how deep his background ran.

"Huh?" Wu Tian could only give a wry chuckle.

He was telling the truth. Why did no one ever believe him? He was baffled.

Just then, a servant brought their Monkey Wine. The wine was infused with Spiritual Energy and seemed to brim with Spiritual Power. Without even taking a sip, the mere scent of it was enough to make one’s entire body feel refreshed and comfortable.
