Invincible Dad

Chapter 847: The Living Are Scarier Than the Dead

Chapter 847: Chapter 847: The Living Are Scarier Than the Dead "Do you know why Fengyue Pavilion helped you widely spread the news about the Thief Emperor’s son? Don’t forget you dug up their ancestors’ graves."

Xu Lai glanced sideways: "Whose face are they saving, it’s obvious isn’t it?"

Sikong Jiu gritted his teeth, as if he was making a huge sacrifice: "Two and a half percent, that’s all I can offer!"

"Forget it, I don’t want it."

"Really?" Sikong Jiu was overjoyed.

"I heard quite a few Holy Lands are offering rewards for this Thief Emperor’s son."

"Thirty percent, I’ll take seven, you take three!"

"Seems like even the Earthstore Tribe is offering big money, might go take a look sometime."

"Sixty-forty, Supreme Emperor... how about sixty-forty!"

"Fifty-fifty."

"..."

Sikong Jiu conceded: "Alright... alright, fifty-fifty it is. But Supreme Emperor, you have to protect me! If this gets out, I’ll absolutely be skinned alive by those bastards in the Immortal Domain."

"You weren’t scared when you were robbing their tombs back then." Xu Lai laughed and scolded.

"What’s there to fear from the dead."

Sikong Jiu said unwillingly, "The living are far scarier than the dead."

"True, make sure to return the funerary items and bones."

"No way, Supreme Emperor! Some Immortal Venerable and Quasi-Emperor bones can be used for Artifact Refining, like those from the Insect Clan... um."

As he spoke.

Sikong Jiu noticed the Supreme Emperor’s face didn’t look right, whispered: "Supreme Emperor, you’re too kind-hearted."

"..."

Xu Lai was speechless.

Is this kindness?

It’s clearly Sikong Jiu lacking any moral standards.

Grave goods, you could take if you say so.

Bones can be refined into artifacts, but is it necessary to move entire grave clusters and people’s ancestral grounds and clan temples?

Even thieves have principles, little brother!

Don’t you know heaven is watching.

Suddenly Xu Lai remembered that Sikong Jiu is a member of the Heavenly Dao.

This made Xu Lai gradually worry that the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Domain might be infected by Sikong Jiu...

"Never mind, the bones really should be sent back."

Sikong Jiu smacked his lips, somewhat regretful: "But they can only make two or three Quasi-Emperor Artifacts, I won’t miss them."

Xu Lai shook his head and returned to Haitang Court.

The spring breeze was warm, the sun was pleasant.

Before entering the house, Xu Lai felt a little guilty, having stayed at home for less than half a month before disappearing again for three months...

Fortunately, his wife and children weren’t at home, which allowed Xu Lai to silently breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother-in-law, you’re back."

Ruan Lan lay on the sofa in a white spaghetti strap top, glanced at the door, then lay back down.

She lifted her leg, holding the Formation Chessboard, frowning in deep thought.

"Don’t lie around, exercise more."

"Hmph, mind your own business!"

Ruan Lan turned over, her back facing Xu Lai.

Then Ruan Lan vaguely sensed a gaze watching her, like a thorn in her back...

She twisted her head.

Only to see Xu Lai sitting opposite on the sofa, staring at her exquisite, curvy and graceful back figure without blinking, her face flushed red.

Ruan Lan quickly sat upright, grabbed a pillow to shield herself with, and said vigilantly:

"Rotten brother-in-law, even though my sister isn’t home, don’t you dare try anything naughty, I won’t give in to you!"

"?"

Xu Lai had a big question mark on his forehead, and said with a dark face: "Shut up."

"I won’t shut up, but I won’t shout out loud either, otherwise you’ll get more excited, Xu Lai, you’re so perverted."

"..."

Xu Lai felt a bit weary and sighed.

Forget it.

He really didn’t want to argue with Ruan Lan.

He just zoned out earlier, thinking about which Emperor Realm figure stands behind the seventeen Holy Lands, Ruan Lan’s imagination is quite wild.

"Xu Lai, if you promise me one thing, not only will I forgive your offense, but I won’t tell my sister!"

"No, you must tell your sister."

"Rotten brother-in-law, you should be grateful and nod continuously, agreeing to my request."

"Then ask again."

Ruan Lan asked again with satisfaction, and Xu Lai seriously replied: "You must tell your sister."

"!!!"

Ruan Lan was dumbfounded, this rotten brother-in-law completely defies expectations.

Xu Lai got up, ruffled his little sister-in-law’s hair, and said leisurely: "Dream less, do more."

With that.

He went upstairs.

Leaving Ruan Lan trembling with anger, Ahhh, did Xu Lai just treat her like a child?

That gesture of ruffling her hair.

Exactly like when he’s messing with Yiyi!

"I want to duel you!"

"I advise you not to seek suffering."

Sister Qi’s ethereal voice sounded: "He’s obviously thinking, if you disturb him, beware of getting beaten up."

Ruan Lan pouted: "Then I’ll let him off for now, Sister Qi, I’m only doing this for your sake."

Sister Qi clicked her tongue twice.

That shamelessness grows more like that old fellow every day.

By evening.

Ruan Tang returned home with the children, smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, she knew Xu Lai was back.

"Daddy!"

Xu Yiyi joyfully dashed over.

"Papa..."

Xu Pingan nestled in Ruan Tang’s arms, also reached out his little hands for a hug.

"He can call people now?" Xu Lai was taken aback.

"Yes, it’s been like this the past couple of days."

Ruan Tang smiled with squinted eyes: "Pingan is really smart, afraid I’ll be tired, now he lets Yiyi accompany him to sleep at night."

Speaking of which.

Xu Pingan pursed his lips in grievance.

Three months ago, sister-in-law said she would cuddle him to sleep, he couldn’t refuse then, but seeing her son not crying and obedient, his mother trusted him to Yiyi.

Three months.

A whole ninety nights.

Xu Pingan was always unable to sleep through the night.

Because while sleeping, there was always a leg or arm pressed on him, the most outrageous was when toes poked towards his mouth...

To the point that Xu Pingan keeps suspecting sister-in-law was under his father’s orders to torment him.

"Good sibling relationship is good, but Xu Pingan can’t overly rely on Yiyi, he needs to quickly learn to sleep independently."

Xu Lai sternly instructed.

"Waaah, waaah."

Xu Pingan was moved to tears.

Father.

My dear father!

I misunderstood you before.

This decision is correct, very correct, especially correct, absolutely right, Daddy!

"Daddy, Pingan really likes Yiyi and Mommy is very tired, let Yiyi take care of little brother for Mommy." Yiyi said.

"Alright."

Xu Lai was surprised by how harmonious his son and daughter were, smiling: "But once he’s one year old, he’ll have to sleep on his own."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm."

"..."

Xu Pingan’s eyes lost their sparkle.

Still more than eight months until he’s one, this world is so pointless, destroy it quickly.

"Brother, sister will take you to the hot springs."

Yiyi took Xu Pingan and left, Ruan Tang smiled, "Look how anxious Pingan is, constantly waving his hands."

Xu Lai scratched his head.

He faintly sensed a resistance from his son’s aura...

Was it an illusion?

Must be an illusion.

Pingan surely loves his sister Yiyi immensely.

Xu Lai shook off the thought and hugged Ruan Tang tightly: "Wife, I’ve missed you so much lately, have you missed me?"

Their bodies pressed close together.

Ruan Tang blushed, teasing: "Keep your voice down, Yiyi is still upstairs."
