Invincible Dad

Chapter 870: Ura!

Chapter 870: Chapter 870: Ura! Ruan Tang’s dissatisfaction was understandable, Xu Lai had been gone for months, and summer was almost over.

Their son would be one year old in just two months!

The time Xu Lai spent with Xu Pingan could be counted on one hand. What kind of irresponsible father is that?

"I can’t help it, there’s too much going on in the Immortal Domain."

Xu Lai put down Yiyi, whom he was holding, and gave a playful rub to Xu Pingan’s head, who was already walking steadily, before looking at his wife Ruan Tang.

"Oh, the Immortal Domain is important, but the three of us are not."

Ruan Tang turned to look at her daughter and son: "Yiyi, Pingan, it’s time for bed."

Xu Yiyi and Xu Pingan reluctantly went upstairs.

Of course, one was reluctant to leave daddy, and the other, mommy.

Seeing that his wife was also about to go upstairs, Xu Lai quickly held her back: "Why are you still angry?"

"I’m not angry."

"You must be angry, usually you’re so gentle."

"So you’re saying I have a bad temper now."

"...I didn’t mean that."

"Then what do you mean."

"..."

Xu Lai felt a chill on his scalp.

Though Xu Lai had once known many women, he was always slow to understand a woman’s heart.

But Xu Lai understood, when faced with such fatal questions from a woman, one must not answer, but instead change the topic, jumping out of the other person’s logic.

So Xu Lai seriously said, "It’s time Pingan was weaned, right?"

"Already done."

Ruan Tang glared at him with her beautiful eyes: "Explain clearly what you just—"

"Smooch"

Xu Lai didn’t give her the chance to finish, and leaned down for a kiss.

Initially, Ruan Tang clenched her dainty fists and pounded on Xu Lai, but gradually her strength waned.

In the end, she wrapped her arms around Xu Lai’s neck.

"Hmm, children shouldn’t see this."

At the staircase on the second floor, Xu Yiyi and Xu Pingan were secretly watching. Yiyi covered her brother’s eyes, her tone very serious.

"..." Xu Pingan.

Then.

Xu Yiyi led her brother back to their room.

While Xu Lai carried Ruan Tang back to the master bedroom.

...

The next day.

By the time Ruan Tang woke up, it was already noon, and Xu Lai had prepared lunch.

"Mommy slept in!" Xu Yiyi stuck out her tongue playfully.

Ruan Tang’s pretty face blushed as she cast a sideways glance at Xu Lai, who pretended not to see.

Xu Pingan was already nine months old and could eat by himself, though not as skillfully as Yiyi.

"By the way, where are Senior Sister and Ruan Lan? Why haven’t I seen them?" Xu Lai asked.

"After you left last time, Ruan Lan went with Baize. Senior Sister also had something come up and returned to the Immortal Domain a couple of days ago."

Ruan Tang was a bit worried whether her sister could survive in the survival-of-the-fittest Immortal Domain.

"Don’t worry."

Xu Lai comforted, "As long as Ruan Lan isn’t causing trouble for others, it’s a blessing."

Isn’t that true?

Carrying the Star Origin Sect’s legacy, an Emperor Artifact embryo, plus two unparalleled killing Great Arrays, and an unbeatable defensive Formation.

I heard the Star Origin Sect also has dozens of evasion arrays, along with the Formation Chessboard’s Artifact Spirit...

It can attack, defend, and flee.

This start was dozens of levels higher than Xu Lai’s back then; if she still got killed, it could only be said Ruan Lan had bad luck.

"You don’t care about Ruan Lan at all." Ruan Tang gave her husband a sidelong glance.

Xu Lai felt this statement was tricky, didn’t dare answer, as whether he cared about Ruan Lan or not felt wrong since she was his sister-in-law.

"Are you staying home for a few days?" Ruan Tang asked.

"I won’t leave during this period, I’ll stay with you all."

"Xu Lai, are you... hiding something from me?"

Ruan Tang put down her chopsticks, staring unblinkingly at Xu Lai with her beautiful eyes.

Xu Lai hadn’t mentioned the Karmic Tribulation to his family, and he believed Divine General Baize wouldn’t tell Ruan Lan either.

So Xu Lai was momentarily at a loss: "Huh?"

"You’re acting strange."

"Strange in an attractive way?"

"Xu Lai, stop joking around with me."

Ruan Tang’s pretty face turned serious: "Usually you have a smiling face, approachable, treating everything with ease, but now you... seem like you’re carrying a mountain on your back."

A mountain?

Xu Lai felt a bit dazed.

According to his wife’s description, it wasn’t wrong at all.

He whispered, "It is a mountain."

"Is it suffocating?"

"Hmm, a little."

"Then tell me about it, saying it might make it less uncomfortable."

"Kind of, but I don’t know how to start."

Xu Lai’s tone was complex; he couldn’t exactly tell Ruan Tang that he might be about to die, right?

"Then don’t rush it."

Ruan Tang gently held Xu Lai’s hand, reminding him: "The Immortal Domain is vast, but this is your home."

"Yes, daddy, you can’t leave Yiyi and mommy again!"

After a moment, Yiyi slapped her forehead: "Oh right, and little Pingan too."

"..." Xu Pingan.

As long as Big Sis is happy.

After lunch.

Xu Lai took the children to play by the seaside.

Ruan Tang was a bit unaccustomed to such an ’idle’ afternoon.

Her life was either work or taking care of the children. Today was a weekend, and she didn’t need to watch the children, so she found herself daydreaming at home.

Fortunately, Xu Yaoyao and Luo Chu both called, inviting her out for a gathering.

So, Ruan Tang went shopping with her two best friends.

...

The current East Sea City was at the end of summer, still quite hot, and the two little ones were having lots of fun.

But as they played, Xu Yiyi suddenly pouted, feeling a bit downcast.

"Sister?"

Xu Pingan asked with concern.

"Sister’s fine."

Yiyi gazed toward the depths of the sea, pretending to be mature: "I wonder how Beibei is doing."

As she spoke, she stole a glance at Xu Lai, obviously hoping to get some definite news from her father.

Xu Lai chuckled; he hadn’t kept track of Beibei.

Once entered into the Immortal Domain, one’s life and death are one’s own responsibility.

But since his daughter wanted to know Beibei’s situation, he would let her see.

With a wave of his hand.

The sea around his ankles instantly rose, forming a massive wall of water, on which a scene appeared.

The shell-backed conch maiden held a blood-stained sword, standing on the head of a Nine-horned Rhinoceros, giving a mocking snort:

"Is this it?"

Then raised her sword overhead: "Children, charge with me, ura!"

"Ura!"

Behind Beibei were dozens of demon cultivators from various races, united by their blood-soaked forms.

"..."

Xu Lai’s face twitched.

But Xu Yiyi’s big eyes instantly lit up, her gaze full of admiration: "Daddy, I want to..."

"No, you don’t!"

Xu Lai immediately interrupted what his daughter was about to say, and Xu Yiyi let out a whimper of grievance, then immersed herself wholeheartedly in the scene on the water wall.

Seeing Beibei spirited and full of vitality, she immediately felt relieved.

"Want to check on Ruan Lan?" Xu Lai asked.

"Look at Little Aunt..." Xu Pingan raised his little hand.

Xu Lai was a bit surprised and chose to fulfill his son’s request.

The second water wall rose obediently.

Compared to Beibei’s fierce battle, Ruan Lan was enveloped by a Formation Chessboard, streaking away through the starry sky in a desperate escape.

Behind her, there were actually over a thousand pursuers.

Xu Lai was just about to comfort his son not to worry, when he saw Xu Pingan’s face relax, as if reassured: "I thought so."

"......"
