Chapter 442: Daddy

Yin Qingcheng was in the Seventh Heaven. If she were in the Sixth Heaven, Lu Ye would definitely have chased after her, and whatever he ate would surely come back up.

Back in the Tianjiao battlefield, Shangguan Huanling had taken what should have belonged to him, and Lu Ye responded with a Celestial Lord Fist.

Now, what can you do when you can’t reach Yin Qingcheng?

What? What does last life’s resources have to do with this life?

Nothing at all; it’s just that he’s unhappy. That reason is, hmm, definitely sufficient.

Seeing this scene, Yin Qingcheng felt her eyes bulging with rage.

Moments ago, Shen Xitang had a regal vibe about her, but now she was playfully rubbing Lu Ye’s head, blushing a bit and snuggling against him like a little bird.

Yin Qingcheng was on the verge of exploding!

But in her fury, she surprisingly calmed down.

Her gaze turned icy, enough to freeze someone’s soul.

She knew Shen Xitang was intentionally trying to infuriate her, hoping to make her act mad in front of Lu Ye, so her husband would feel disgusted with her.

So she couldn’t fall for Shen Xitang’s trap.

Just a little provocation, counting on her being in the Sixth Heaven. If she were in the Seventh Heaven, Yin Qingcheng would definitely let Shen Xitang know what real pain felt like.

“Husband, I know you’re heartbroken because they betrayed you, but you must understand, I’m doing this for you. Those women don’t truly love you; they only crave the benefits of being with you.”

“I poisoned you; I instigated them to poison you, all to help you see their true colors.”

“Though this will cause you immense sorrow, sometimes you need severe medicine to cure the poison. I’m punishing myself to make up for my hurt towards you.”

“I’m experiencing the poison they inflicted on you, and your pain, I feel it too.”

“Husband, no one in this world loves you more than I do.”

Lu Ye took a deep breath, about to speak, when a voice interrupted.

“Ding!”

Lu Ye???

A tiny figure appeared on the other side of Lu Ye.

This petite figure, dressed in a little skirt, with an adorable bun, jumped up and hugged Lu Ye’s arm just like Shen Xitang had earlier.

Her little mouth opened wide.

“Daddy!”

“Husband, remember!”

Yin Qingcheng’s words came to an abrupt halt as she heard that “Daddy.”

Her heart raced, as if being stretched and elongated in that moment.

All sounds around her muted, and to her, after the word “Daddy,” the whole world erupted into a deafening roar.

Yin Qingcheng stared at Little Heavenly Dao, gazing at the face that was a mix of Shen Xitang—about sixty to seventy percent—and a bit like Lu Ye.

Little Heavenly Dao had taken on the faces of the people she was most familiar with, spending the most time with Shen Xitang, of course, she looked most like her, followed by Lu Ye, and then there was even a faint trace of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, and barely a hint of An Li, but that was almost negligible.

Not only Yin Qingcheng, even Lu Ye was completely stunned.

Huh?

What did he just hear?

Lu Ye usually had some acting skills, but even that was no help at this moment!

Not only was Yin Qingcheng’s mind blank, but so was Lu Ye’s.

In previous lives, he had never had a child.

Sure, in his past life, when playing with others, some had called him daddy, but those were just playful names, nothing like this “Daddy” title.

Little Heavenly Dao…

This address…

Lu Ye slowly began to react, glancing at Shen Xitang, who was now sporting a smug smile, like a little fox that had just succeeded in its trickery.

Lu Ye’s shock had already slipped out a bit.

If Yin Qingcheng had been in a normal state, she would have definitely noticed Lu Ye’s surprise and realized he was trying to deceive her.

But the key was, Yin Qingcheng was too stunned to think straight.

She couldn’t fathom that Lu Ye, who had never wanted children in his previous life, the one who always claimed he wasn’t ready, had suddenly become a father so quickly upon reincarnation…

Why was that?

Because Shen Xitang could give Lu Ye a sense of security.

Because Lu Ye felt he could have eternity with Shen Xitang.

Because Lu Ye felt happiness and dropped all worries and fears.

Now that things had escalated this way, Lu Ye could only continue playing along. Thankfully, he never harbored any lofty hopes about Yin Qingcheng; whether she could accept this new reality had nothing to do with him.

Could she not accept it?

Not being able to accept it was actually a good thing.

If Yin Qingcheng accepted it calmly, that would be the real trouble.

“Why did you come out?” Lu Ye looked at Little Heavenly Dao, his gaze unconsciously softening.

This was the first time in this life and the previous one that someone called him Daddy… Heavenly Dao.

In that moment, Lu Ye felt a strange sense of responsibility.

Little Heavenly Dao stared at Lu Ye, sensing something was amiss.

Hmm? Why does his gaze feel different from when he looks at my sister?

But with her limited understanding, she couldn’t quite figure out the reasoning.

So she dutifully recited what her sister had told her: “I saw Mommy hadn’t come back for so long, so I came to find her to play.”

“Daddy, who is she?” She asked Yin Qingcheng.

Lu Ye unconsciously gently ruffled Little Heavenly Dao’s fluffy little head.

“Oh, nobody special, just an ordinary old friend. You two go play,” Lu Ye said gently.

Little Heavenly Dao stared at Lu Ye’s gentle gaze, feeling an increasing sense of discomfort.

Something’s off! Was she tricked by her sister?

Why’s her host looking at her like that?

She didn’t want to act like a daughter anymore; she wanted to be a little sister!

“Alright, Daddy’s busy with something important, so let’s not disturb him. We should head back.”

Shen Xitang grabbed Little Heavenly Dao by the collar.

“Wait, sis…”

Before she could finish, the two had already vanished.

Lu Ye’s smile remained, even widening as they disappeared.

He turned towards Yin Qingcheng, who still looked dazed.

He wanted to say something to comfort her, but just as he opened his mouth, Yin Qingcheng suddenly spat out blood, and everything before him became a blur.

Yin Qingcheng had run away.

She was completely overwhelmed, unsure of how to handle this situation.

Right now, she couldn’t stop picturing Little Heavenly Dao calling Lu Ye “Daddy.”

Her mind was filled with the image of those three standing together—like a happy family of three.

This was the heaviest blow for Yin Qingcheng.

All along, she had believed that only being with her would make Lu Ye happy.

But now, it was clear that Lu Ye had left her, yet he seemed happier than ever.
