Luo Tan’s first reaction was, this guy actually made such a cute little girl call him ‘Dad’?
This guy… is he playing this big?
But soon, after studying Mu Ruoruo’s face for a few monts, a subtle change flickered in Luo Tan’s eyes.
This face, how co it actually looks a lot like his?
Although she thought this, the Empress still maintained her usual elegant posture and asked with a faint smile, “Who is this child…?”
At the sa ti, the Princess beside her also looked Mu Ruoruo over a few more tis. She was naturally close to the Great Dao and incredibly sensitive to other people’s auras.
And at this mont, she had keenly sensed a very familiar aura.
It was an aura that seed to be connected to Mu Zhian by blood.
Before Mu Zhian could speak, Mu Ruoruo first glanced at Luo Tan, then called out timidly, “Sister Luo Tan, Sister Princess.”
What a sweet talker… Luo Tan’s delicate brows relaxed slightly, and she stepped aside to let Mu Zhian, with Mu Ruoruo on his shoulders, in.
“Anyway, co in first. I recently planted so Dao Comprehension Tea myself. If you don’t mind, let’s have so together.”
After passing through the quiet courtyard and garden for about fifteen minutes, a pavilion with curtains hanging on all four sides faintly appeared ahead.
Mu Zhian sat under the pavilion, his gaze on Luo Tan, who was brewing tea not far away.
She wore her usual magnificent white dress embroidered with gold and silver threads, her hair tied up with a jade hairpin, a golden hair ornant in her hair. She wore a pair of exquisite, snow-white knee-high boots, adding a touch of noble elegance to her temperant.
Mu Ruoruo glanced at Mu Zhian, her small hands subconsciously gripping the hem of her dress, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She suddenly regretted letting her dad co to Luo Tan’s place.
The Pill Emperor possessed the Innate Celestial Furnace and a superb constitution related to heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The heavenly materials and earthly treasures she cultivated were full of dicinal fragrance, so Mu Ruoruo had always liked to co to Luo Tan’s place to freeload.
Especially the Dao Comprehension Tree she cultivated. With the strengthening of the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy, she could pick a few leaves every year, which were especially fragrant and flavorful when used to make tea.
However… Mu Ruoruo had overlooked a very important matter.
The Luo Tan of this period didn’t know her, and it seed it had been a while since she had been intimate with Mu Zhian… Bringing Mu Zhian here now was almost like saying: Sister, I’ve brought my dad to you.
Mu Ruoruo sat obediently, extended a small hand, and secretly tugged at Mu Zhian’s clothes, whispering in his ear, “Why don’t we go back…”
A faint fragrance emanated from the young girl, and combined with her cute and innocent face, it was enough to make anyone who saw her feel a sense of pity.
The more Mu Zhian looked, the more he felt she resembled Nai Xi.
Glancing at Luo Tan, who was brewing tea at the white jade table in front of the pavilion, Mu Zhian gently stroked his daughter’s head and said softly, “Let’s leave after we finish our tea.”
Even if he wanted to leave now, he probably couldn’t.
After all… from the very beginning, the gentle and alluring married woman beside him had been sizing him up and down.
I should have known better than to listen to this little padded jacket… no, this black-hearted cotton. I should have just taken her back to her room and locked her up.
As a veteran in the art of romance and tea ceremony, Mu Zhian could easily see from Mu Ruoruo’s various actions just now that although this little girl was young, her skills were not low.
It was probably due to her being influenced by the fishpond on a daily basis.
He just didn’t know why this child had to take him away alone, not letting him interact with the other fish…
Mu Zhian sighed helplessly in his heart, but maintained a gentle smile on his face and said, “Your Highness, are you getting used to living here?”
“It’s alright. It’s not much different from when I was in Cloud Province. Anyway, I’m alone,” the Princess said with a smile, her gentle gaze on Mu Zhian. “When did you have such a big child?”
“Or… is this so kind of ga you’re playing with this girl?”
She still found it hard to believe, thinking this couldn’t possibly be Mu Zhian’s child.
After all, this girl looked to be twelve or thirteen. How long had Mu Zhian been in the Heavenly Court? How could he have such a big daughter out of nowhere?
But if she wasn’t his child…
To have a girl call him ‘Dad’…
Had he beco so perverted…?
Mu Zhian, sensing the dark glint in the Princess’s eyes, his expression almost breaking, coughed lightly, “It’s a long story… but in short, she is indeed my child. I just don’t know who her mother is.”
“Are you sure you didn’t have so girl from the Ye Clan or the Mu Clan play so father-daughter ga with you…?”
Although she faintly sensed so kind of blood connection between Mu Zhian and Mu Ruoruo, she still found it incredible, even suspecting that soone was playing tricks, deceiving her perception.
Seeing the Princess’s continued disbelief, and her gaze, as if looking at a ‘pervert’, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but rub his forehead and sigh softly.
Just then, Mu Ruoruo took a bite of a pastry from the table, and while savoring the delicacy, she rested her cheek on her hand and glanced at the Princess.
“He is indeed my father, but I traveled through ti from the future to get here.”
“Oh? The future?”
A hint of suspicion appeared in the Princess’s usually gentle eyes, and she said softly, “You can travel from the future to the present… You can do that? Could it be that you’re Shang Yanfei’s child?”
In the Princess’s knowledge, only the Sect Master’s child could enter the Nascent Soul Realm less than thirteen years after birth, and even travel from the future to the present.
Mu Ruoruo sat obediently, her back straight, her small, white-socked feet swaying gently.
She shook her head, “I can’t reveal my mother’s identity, otherwise it would involve heavenly secrets.”
The Princess was stunned for a mont, then looked the cute and pure girl up and down a few more tis. Then, a playful glint appeared in her gentle eyes.
“I see… so she’s her child?” she murmured softly.
Mu Zhian was still confused. Seeing that the Princess seed to have already guessed the truth, he was stunned for a mont, “You know who her mother is?”
The Princess nodded gently, “I have a pretty good guess.”
“Since she can reveal who her father is, why can’t she reveal her mother? If it were any of us, revealing it wouldn’t really matter. After all, with the strengthening of the Heavenly Court’s rules, the Heavenly Tribulation won’t descend upon the Heavenly Court,” the Princess casually reminded.
“Unless that person’s existence is the Heavenly Tribulation itself. I think her mother is probably not in the ‘human’ category.”
Mu Zhian was stunned for a long ti, looking at Mu Ruoruo, then at the Princess.
Suddenly, a certain answer faintly appeared in his heart.
The Heavenly Dao!
Yes, the Heavenly Dao was, after all, the aggregate of all living beings’ will. Revealing her identity would indeed result in a karmic backlash.
However, was it the New Heavenly Dao playing tricks, or the (old) Heavenly Dao causing trouble in the dark…?
While Mu Zhian was still lost in thought, he suddenly seed to see a wisp of silver hair flash past his eyes.
He faintly seed to hear a pleasant sound like bells ringing in his ear.
However, by the ti Mu Zhian ca to his senses, the sound had disappeared, and the wisp of silver hair he had just caught sight of had long since vanished.
“Co here~”
Then, a coquettish and crisp voice suddenly ca from the bottom of his heart.
Mu Zhian subconsciously looked up in a certain direction outside the pavilion.
Soone was calling him.
