Chapter 1750: Dad Is Dead

Tiger Roar Mountain, covered with greenery, shrouded in mist.

“Sister, come and chase me!”

In the plaza, two chubby little toddlers were chasing each other with their short legs.

One ran in front while the other followed, laughing happily like tinkling silver bells.

These two doll-like kids were born to Qin Yi and Xia Yanbing.

Qin Yi quietly appeared in the plaza, looking at the little ones, his eyes welled up with tears.

More than three years apart, these two little ones have grown so much.

Moreover, while they were in their mother’s womb, Qin Yi laid the foundation for them, nurturing their meridians. Don’t be deceived by their three-year-old looks; they’re taller than average kids and are already Qi Refiners, at the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage.

No wonder they’re my children.

The two little ones also noticed the quietly appearing Qin Yi.

They curiously observed Qin Yi, subconsciously holding hands.

Qin Yi excitedly took a step forward.

But who knew these little ones would suddenly run away hand in hand.

“Sister Rui, there’s a bad guy, there’s a bad guy…”

They ran and shouted.

Qin Yi froze on the spot, touching his nose; it was awkward.

In a big tree beside the plaza, an eight or nine-year-old girl was quietly reading a book. Hearing the little ones’ cries, she flipped down from the tree, picked up the Jade Whistle hanging on her chest, and blew it.

The piercing whistle echoed across Tiger Roar Mountain.

A streak of white light shot like lightning; Qin Yi recognized it as the Bai Ze cub he brought back from the Secret Realm, now much larger.

Then, two figures swiftly approached.

One clad in red with the Netherflame Stick, was Lin Hongzhuang.

The other, dressed in light green, was Qin Wan’er.

“Mommy, there’s a bad guy.”

The two little ones dashed into the arms of the approaching figure, complaining in their baby voices.

Everyone looked up.

Seeing Qin Yi in the plaza, they seemed to be stunned for a few seconds, then their expressions changed dramatically.

“Brother.”

Qin Wan’er was the first to recognize Qin Yi, exclaiming joyfully.

Then, she ran over frantically.

The Bai Ze cub was faster than Qin Wan’er, it also recognized Qin Yi.

Lin Hongzhuang took a few steps forward but ultimately stopped.

Xia Yanbing was dumbfounded, staring at the longed-for figure.

“Brother, you’ve come back?”

Qin Wan’er rushed into Qin Yi’s arms, tears of excitement in her eyes.

Qin Yi hugged the cheeky Bai Ze cub with one hand and Qin Wan’er with the other, smiling, “Yes, brother’s back. Don’t cry now, you’re a big girl, don’t cry over everything.”

“I will cry, I will cry…” A sister is always a sister; she and Qin Yi depended on each other, and after more than three years apart, it was impossible not to be excited upon meeting again.

Qin Yi comforted her well, only then did he cheer up Qin Wan’er, pulling her along.

“Have you had enough fun, Qin Yi?”

Lin Hongzhuang hadn’t changed a bit, apart from becoming stronger in cultivation, her tongue became sharper, immediately revealing her old sarcastic identity.

Qin Yi laughed, “You carry that stick around every day, can’t you seriously find yourself a man?”

One sentence almost made Lin Hongzhuang furious.

“You said you’d be gone for a year at most, or a few months at least. Gone for more than three years, did you enjoy yourself too much in another world?”

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, “You still carry your stick, enjoying yourself too much.”

After speaking, he let go of the Bai Ze cub and Qin Wan’er, approaching Xia Yanbing, “Wife, I’m back.”

Xia Yanbing’s eyes were filled with tears, crying tears of joy.

Yearning day and night, he had finally returned.

Qin Yi felt pained, wanting to step forward to hug Xia Yanbing, but was rudely stopped by two identical little ones.

“Don’t get close to Mommy.”

“Mommy is ours.”

Qin Yi laughed.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Bad guy.”

“Thief.”

The two little ones said boldly.

Qin Yi felt awkward, “How did I become a bad guy thief?”

“Mommy said, if you come uninvited, sneaking into someone else’s house, you’re a bad guy and thief.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The other nodded, agreeing.

“Pingping, An’an, don’t say such things,” Xia Yanbing spoke.

Qin Ping’an and Xia Pingluan’s nicknames are Pingping and An’an.

Usually, that’s how everyone calls them.

“Pingping, An’an, haven’t you always been calling for Daddy? He is your Daddy.”

The two little ones raised their heads, curiously examining Qin Yi.

“Sister, is he Daddy?”

“Certainly not, Mommy is tricking us, Daddy died long ago.”

Qin Yi’s face froze.

Xia Yanbing also froze, face darkening, “Pingping, An’an, who taught you to say these things?”

“Mommy, we’re not three-year-old kids anymore.”

“Yes, we’re three and a half.”

“Mommy said Daddy went far away, but the TV says if someone goes far away, they’re dead.”

“Mommy was afraid we’d be sad.”

Three black lines appeared on Qin Yi’s forehead, “Are you two doing a comedy skit here?”

Xia Yanbing kept a stern face, “You both, stop talking nonsense. I said Daddy went far away because he truly went far away, not the meaning you assumed.”

“Daddy’s back now, call him Daddy.”

Qin Yi looked at them hopefully.

“Are you really Daddy?”

Qin Yi nodded, “That’s right, I’m your Daddy.”

“But Daddy doesn’t want us anymore.”

Qin Yi was taken aback, “Daddy never abandoned you; it’s just that Daddy had important things to do, so he left.”

“Then do you have a baby?”

Qin Yi couldn’t distinguish who was older, who younger; they looked identical. But one asked him, which left him stunned.

“How do you know Daddy has a baby?”

Qin Yi was utterly shocked.

Little did he know, Xia Yanbing and others, hearing those words, were equally shocked.

“Oh, you really have another woman outside and had a child? Bingbing waited so long for you,” Lin Hongzhuang angrily said.

Qin Yi was utterly confused, “When did I get another woman and have a child? Don’t say nonsense! I’ve kept myself pure all these years, and where I go, virtue follows.”

“Then what was the baby you mentioned just now?”

Qin Yi was slightly dazed, then laughed, “What are you saying? The baby I mentioned is a cat, precisely speaking, a Fierce Beast, somewhat similar to the Bai Ze cub. Its name is Baby.”

“I knew it, Brother would never betray Sister-in-law,” Qin Wan’er happily said.

Lin Hongzhuang pouted, “Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false?”

“Do I need you to believe me?” Qin Yi retorted, this woman was really annoying.

Qin Yi looked down at the two children, “Which one of you is Pingping, and which is An’an?”

“Aren’t you Daddy? Why can’t you even distinguish between us, you must be fake.”

“Maybe Mommy found us a new Daddy.”
