Chapter 1372: Chapter 742: Confirming Itâs the Daughter (7K)_4 Chapter 1372: Chapter 742: Confirming Itâs the Daughter (7K)_4 âMy daughter is back, should we go downstairs together directly?â
At this moment, Chen Mobai felt somewhat nervous and turned to Shi Wanyu beside him to ask.
âOr maybe I should go first, to lay some groundwork for you!â
Shi Wanyu was also a bit at a loss, since it was going to be telling her grown daughter that her father had arrived today, and she had no idea what would happen next.
Would Xiao Hei readily accept it? Or would she stubbornly lash out at Chen Mobai, calling him a scumbag for not visiting her and her mother all these years?
Or perhaps she would be equally at a loss, not knowing how to accept the fact that she had a father!
âAlright then, Iâll wait upstairs for you and come down depending on the situation.â
Chen Mobai also felt that it would be too shocking to just blurt out to Xiao Hei, âIâm your father,â and that it would be better to let Shi Wanyu, as her mother, go down and test the waters first.
âMom, Iâm back! Where are you?â
At this moment, a girlâs vibrant voice came from inside the flower shop on the first floor.
âIâm on the third floor, tidying up your room!â
Shi Wanyu immediately responded loudly and then straightened her clothes, making sure everything was in order before rushing down the stairs.
Right when the mother and daughter were meeting, Chen Mobai instantly teleported outside, choosing a spot where he could clearly see the inside of the flower shop and quietly observing them.
He also activated Echoes in the Void as if he were right beside them, listening to the conversation between Shi Wanyu and her daughter.
âYour father is coming today.â
âMom, what did you say?â
Shi Xiao Hei, who was about to carry her luggage upstairs, suddenly froze upon hearing Shi Wanyuâs words. Her body stiffened as she turned around, slightly disbelieving her ears.
Shi Wanyu: âI said, your father is coming today, do you want to meet him?â
Chen Mobai heard this and felt that Shi Wanyu was really not subtle at all; she just blurted it out without any preamble.
However, at this point, all he could do was listen anxiously, wanting to hear Xiao Heiâs reaction to all this.
âI still have a father!?â
Her words tugged at Chen Mobaiâs heartstrings.
Iâm right here!
âWhere is he, Iâll kill him, that faithless scoundrel. How dare he show his face after abandoning us mother and daughter for so many years? Has he heard that Iâve made something of myself, so now he wants to acknowledge our relationship?â
âMom, donât be afraid, such a lousy man isnât worth it. Just consider yourself a widow and Iâll consider myself from a single-parent family.â
âSince he dared to abandon you and the me in your belly back then, he clearly is a heartless scumbag; just consider him dead.â
âMom, you donât worry about this. If he dares to come here today, I donât care if I lose my civil servant job, Iâll make sure heâŠâ
The reaction of Shi Xiao Hei was a bit more intense than Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu had anticipated. She was somewhat incoherent on the staircase and even summoned the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, a clear sign of her extreme anger.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai hesitated.
His daughter doesnât recognize her father, what to do?
This wasnât a situation he could seek help for online; he could only transmit a message to Shi Wanyu, preparing to grit his teeth and show himself.
A dagger awaits whether he stretches his head out or pulls it back!
After all, Shi Xiao Hei is just a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, and even if she has the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, he had ways to subdue it.
But who knew, Shi Wanyu immediately shook her head and also transmitted a message to Chen Mobai, saying that their daughter usually had a good temperament, but nobody could calm her down once her temper flared up.
â`
At first, when she stubbornly wanted to go to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Yu Huiping had no choice!
Now, leaving behind the bright future of Wangwu Cave Heaven just to stay in the small place of Yu Wood City to accompany her daughter, it was the same.
After seeing her daughterâs excited dancing and emotional expression, Shi Wanyu knew that if Chen Mobai made an appearance, it would only push things in an even more uncontrollable direction.
She feared that, in a fury, Shi Xiao Hei would greet Chen Mobai with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo upon seeing him.
[Donât worry, my daughter canât beat me. The Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo obeys me.]
Yet, Chen Mobai was not at all worried and expressed his own thoughts, believing that even if Shi Xiao Hei lost her temper, he, as a father, could instantly subdue her with his heaven-reaching cultivation and establish his status as the head of the family.
But Shi Wanyu was doing her utmost to prevent this.
If the father and daughterâs first meeting turned into a fight, it would immediately become the laughing stock of their neighbors and fellow townspeople.
Moreover, as a member of the Kaiyuan Hall, Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master, was already in the limelight in the Immortal Gate. If people found out that he had such a grown, illegitimate daughter whom he had abandoned for so many years, his reputation would probably collapse.
If such a huge stain tainted his reputation, it would be very difficult for him to assume one of the top positions in the Three Great Halls of Xianmen.
Chen Mobai felt wronged, as it wasnât his fault for being irresponsible; he was the victim!
And at this moment, Shi Wanyuâs pleading telepathic message sounded once more, bringing up another matter.
Because she had given birth out of wedlock, her parents couldnât hold their heads up, and being advanced in age, they were now spending their final days in a welfare institute, waiting to pass away. If they heard about this incident, it could quite possibly kill them.
[Once my daughter calms down, Iâll explain everything to her, and then Iâll notify you to come over.]
Shi Wanyuâs words made Chen Mobai somewhat helpless.
But just at that moment, Xiao Hei suddenly let go of Shi Wanyuâs hand and ran out of the flower shop without even taking her suitcase.
Chen Mobai clearly saw a tear in the corner of her eye as she ran out.
Shi Wanyu immediately chased after her with concern, but her Qi Cultivation level was no match for her Foundation Establishment daughter, and soon, the young girl was out of sight.
[Iâm following her, donât worry.]
Chen Mobaiâs telepathic message echoed in Shi Wanyuâs ears, easing her anxiousness a bit.
At that moment, she also regretted not having cleared things up earlier.
Though Shi Xiao Hei was emotionally turbulent, she still remembered the basic laws and didnât fly within the city.
Using her cultivationâs Rapid Movement Technique, she quickly left Shi Wanyu behind and aimlessly headed towards the outskirts of the city, where fewer people were. Before long, she found herself standing on a grassy field beneath towering trees.
Yu Wood City was full of things like this everywhere, covered with Spirit Wood, making it an idyllic place for retirement.
Chen Mobai had also thought about bringing his parents here when they got old.
However, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui didnât want to leave, so the plan never took off.
The girl herself didnât know where she had ended up, simply driving her Spiritual Power and venting her emotions.
Chen Mobai followed behind, planning to reveal himself and recognize her once her emotions stabilized.
Although the birth of this daughter wasnât his original intention, the joy of recognition afterward made him understand that this was the continuation of his own bloodline.
He liked this daughter!
âEh, up ahead looks likeâŠâ
Just then, Chen Mobai suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with the surroundings. Seeing Shi Xiao Hei about to step into a forbidden area, his expression changed slightly.
He waited no longer and immediately revealed his figure!
