Invincible Dad

Chapter 856: What a Pity

Chapter 856: Chapter 856: What a Pity Qian Xiao shivered inexplicably.

He made Xu Yiyi’s son cry, and Uncle Xu was actually so enthusiastic—there must be something suspicious!

Could it be that he’s poisoned the food, intending to kill him?

"Thank you, Uncle Xu, but I’ve already eaten at home..."

Qian Xiao spoke nervously, but before he could finish, he saw Uncle Xu’s seemingly smiling expression, so he stopped talking.

A strong survival instinct suddenly rose in him, and he quickly added, "I wasn’t really full anyway."

Well, well, well.

If it’s poisoned, it’s poisoned.

If it’s a blessing, it isn’t a curse; if it’s a curse, you can’t escape it.

"Go ahead and sit down."

Qian Xiao changed into slippers and entered the living room.

He felt waves of gazes fall on him, making his body stiff and rendering him dumbfounded.

So many beautiful aunties!

His head spun. He couldn’t understand how he came to apologize for making Ping’an cry, yet ended up freeloading a meal?

Qian Xiao instinctively wanted to sit next to Ruan Tang, but heard Yiyi say, "Aunt Anna, you’re here!"

"Yes, I am."

Anna smiled, "Yiyi, you look prettier again."

"This is my best friend, Qian Xiao."

After the introduction, Yiyi continued, "Qian Xiao, you sit next to Aunt Anna, okay?"

"Sure, boss lady."

Qian Xiao plopped down, grinning, "Auntie, you’re so pretty—prettier than my mom."

"..." Anna.

She kept her smile, saying, "Your mom will be sad to hear that. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world."

"She only has eyes for my sister, not me."

Qian Xiao’s tears fell with a splash: "She promised she’d always love me. Women are big liars, woowoo."

Xu Yiyi scratched her head.

Qian Xiao was actually adding drama for himself...

She looked up with her little face and sat next to Fairy Qing Yuan, cutely saying, "Hello, Auntie, I’m Xu Yiyi, Daddy’s daughter."

Then she pointed to Xu Pingan cuddled in her arms: "This is my brother, Auntie, you hold him. Don’t look down on him being small, he’s super smart!"

"Mm."

Fairy Qing Yuan’s eyes softened: "So cute."

Yiyi blinked: "Daddy, come over and sit."

The remaining two seats were on either side of Ruan Tang.

"What a pity," Yu Guiwan expressed regretfully.

"What a pity," Baize nodded.

"What a pity..."

The melon seeds in Ruan Lan’s mouth lost their flavor—even though it involved her own sister, it was rare to witness such a showdown.

Xu Lai couldn’t help but give his daughter a mental thumbs up.

As expected of his beloved daughter, she was considerate. Not only considerate but life-saving.

He sighed in relief and sat between Ruan Tang and Yiyi, smiling, "Everyone, stop standing there, eat while it’s hot."

"Brother-in-law, have some vegetables," Ruan Lan picked up some food.

"Junior Brother, have some meat," Yu Gui picked up some meat.

"The Supreme Emperor, have some soup," Baize filled a bowl.

"???"

Xu Lai was suddenly on high alert.

These three women must want him dead here today, right?

They definitely want to see him die here!

Xu Lai watched Anna picking up a piece of meat with her chopsticks. Instead of putting it in her mouth, she extended her arm forward.

Eventually.

The meat fell into Qian Xiao’s bowl.

Before Xu Lai could relax, he saw Qing Yuan also pick up some meat, and Yiyi automatically opened her little mouth: "Ah."

Qing Yuan smiled brightly.

Feeding the little cutie in front of her.

Ruan Tang also picked some meat and placed it in her own mouth.

"What a pity."

Ruan Lan, Baize, and Yu Guiwan shook their heads again.

"Ruan Lan, with your diligent cultivation recently, you should be able to easily solve the trials within the Formation Chessboard, right?"

"..."

How could it be easy to solve!

Even though Sister Qi helped with some cheating, certain trials still required brute strength breakthroughs; Sister Qi hasn’t fully recovered yet.

She knew.

Her wretched brother-in-law was threatening her!

She, the honorable Star Origin Sect Hierarch, Array Path inheritor and pioneer, future Empress, the first Fairy of the Four Immortal Domains, and dream of countless male cultivators, could she be threatened?

Of course not.

So, Ruan Lan lowered her head, eating quietly while constantly imagining stabbing little paper dolls of her brother-in-law in her mind.

"Senior Sister, the Elixir refined from Great Emperor Youming’s heart, I think you should take it, as it can prolong your life."

"..."

Yu Guiwan remained silent.

There’s no way I would take it; not in this lifetime.

"Divine General Baize, I’ve heard..."

"The Supreme Emperor, silence during meals and rest," Baize said seriously.

With no more backstabbing...

Xu Lai finally relaxed.

The meal that initially seemed tense had now gradually calmed down.

Qian Xiao initially didn’t want to eat; he was afraid of poison, but the food smelled too good.

After all, organizing babysitters to prepare meals wasn’t as delicious as Uncle Xu’s cooking.

The little guy began to wolf down the food.

To some extent, this also alleviated part of the awkwardness.

After the meal...

Xu Lai chuckled as he patted Qian Xiao’s head: "Just came right on time, good, good."

"Uncle Xu, the matter of accidentally making Ping’an cry..." Qian Xiao nervously blurted.

"I won’t hit you today."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"

Qian Xiao felt like he had received a great pardon.

As boss lady Yiyi said, Uncle Xu truly had a broad mind—how could he beat him for such a minor matter?

"Remember to come tomorrow for your beating."

"..."

Qian Xiao was tearful.

Beautiful women are indeed liars, Yiyi included.

He went upstairs with tears in his eyes, preparing to tell boss lady about his last wishes, as today might be his last night.

The three little children left.

Ruan Lan and Yu Guiwan departed using some very clumsy excuses, while Baize tilted her head, not leaving.

Instead, she asked, "The Supreme Emperor, what should be done with the Yuanchao of the Tian Gui Tribe?"

Six months ago, to pursue the Northern Immortal Domain, the Supreme Emperor stepped into the Annihilation Space, and his life and death were unknown; all major forces in the Immortal Domain eagerly awaited action.

The Tian Gui Tribe discarded dozens of pawns led by the Purple Star Palace.

Back then, Baize had already sentenced the death penalty for the sixteen Holy Lands excluding Fengyue Pavilion, hence the subsequent ’Day of Holy Downfall.’

But.

Baize wasn’t satisfied.

What she actually wanted was to eradicate all the Tian Gui Tribe’s wings.

So she invited the old Taotie and Fairy Qing Yuan to take action; the plan wasn’t disclosed to anyone in the Heavenly Court, including the Supreme Emperor.

Even the two Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor who executed the plan didn’t know what she wanted to do.

The results made Baize very satisfied.

In the two days upon arriving on Earth, during the Supreme Emperor’s slumber, Baize obtained a lot of useful information from Yuanchao.

For instance.

The Tian Gui Tribe actually controlled fifty-seven Holy Lands and one hundred and six Quasi-Saint Grounds, with countless subordinate forces beneath the Holy Lands.

"You handle it."

Bringing up serious matters, the atmosphere in the living room turned suddenly murderous.

Ruan Tang silently got up, went to the kitchen to cut fruits and brewed a pot of tea by the way.

"Those wings of the Tian Gui Tribe..." Fairy Qing Yuan paused.

Knowing that the sphere of influence of the Tian Gui Tribe was partially in the Southwestern and Northern Immortal Domains but mostly in the Eastern Immortal Domain.

Temporarily keeping them or eliminating them entirely was a headache.

"Kill."

Xu Lai spoke calmly.

A single word.

Made Anna, Baize, and Fairy Qing Yuan all deeply furrow their eyebrows.
