Being stared at by his daughter like this, Ning revealed a smile on his face. His daughter was simply too adorable. She was like a darling of the heavens. Even though she looked a bit mischievous, as a father, he still doted on her.
"Yes, I am your father!" Ning smiled and nodded.
"He really is your father."
At this moment, Yu Wei and her maidservant also came out of the house. Their expressions were very interesting, especially Yu Wei. She had a very complicated look on her face. Clearly, the fact that the child was so big, could speak, could run, and could control flames was somewhat unexpected.
Although the children of Immortals and Fiendgods were somewhat special, the vast majority of them were still infants. But this child had been born so quickly that she was about the size of a three or four year old girl. This was rather strange.
"When I was in my mother's belly, I heard the conversation outside. I know that my father's name is Ji Ning. You are Ji Ning?" The little girl bit her finger as she looked at Ning.
"Yes, I am Ji Ning." Ning nodded. On the battlefield, he was like a god of war. But now, he felt as though he was being very careful, afraid of saying the wrong thing. This feeling was quite wonderful.
"Your child greets you, Father." With a thud, the little girl quickly fell to her knees and kowtowed.
"Father, Mother." The little girl looked at Ning and Yu Wei, very excited. "Have you decided on a name for me?"
Ning and Yu Wei glanced at each other rather awkwardly. Their daughter seemed to be very intelligent. In addition, when she was in their wife's belly, she could already understand what they were saying. Didn't this mean that some of the private conversations between husband and wife had been clearly heard by this little girl?
Cheng Hao chuckled as he looked at everything in front of him. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Xi, who had a faint smile on her face.
"Look at this child. Don't you find her familiar?"
"Eh?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, a puzzled look on her face.
"Don't you feel that she looks a bit like you when you were young?"
The little girl in front of them was like a porcelain doll. Her feet were bare, and her hair was braided. In terms of cuteness, she was comparable to Lin Xi when she was young.
Lin Xi paused for a moment, then smiled. Although her smile was faint, she seemed to be in a good mood. Her eyes were a little misty, as if she was thinking about her childhood.
"She's luckier than me!" Lin Xi whispered as she looked at the little girl enviously.
She didn't have any memories of her parents since she was young. It was her brother who brought her up. In her heart, her brother was her family, her father, and her teacher. Without her brother, she wouldn't have survived.
Unfortunately, her brother had left her very early on. In order to survive, she had to go through hardships that ordinary people could not even begin to imagine. Even though her relationship with Cheng Hao had become closer and closer, she had never mentioned anything about her childhood.
"Father, Mother, don't tell me you haven't thought of my name yet?" The little girl stood up and looked at her parents. Then, she pouted and her eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry.
"Haha, how could I not have given you a name? Senior apprentice-sister, since you are a girl, you should be the one to name her!" Ning looked towards Yu Wei, indicating for her to come up with a name.
Yu Wei nodded lightly. "Since it's a girl, let's call her Mingyue."
"Mingyue? Ji Mingyue? Ji Mingyue? Haha, Ji Mingyue, my name is Ji Mingyue … "The little girl happily ran around the courtyard, calling out her own name over and over again. She seemed to be incomparably excited.
"Ji Ning, this daughter of yours really is quite lively!" Cheng Hao chortled. Compared to her, the young Lin Xi seemed to be much more obedient and well-behaved.
"This girl is a bit crazy. She seems even crazier than most boys. Senior apprentice-sister, in the future, we'll have to discipline her properly!" Ning chuckled. He didn't think too much of it.
.....
Time slowly flowed on. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
"Father, father, carry me, carry me."
"Father is the best."
Ji Mingyue giggled as she lay on Ning's back. Her two little legs swayed in a relaxed manner. She seemed to be very relaxed.
"Mingyue, after playing for a while, we need to continue training. Otherwise, if your mother finds out that you are slacking off, she'll whip you again!"
"Mm, got it, father!" The little girl raised her head and looked around, somewhat afraid. Only when she didn't see her mother's figure did she let out a sigh of relief. In a somewhat soft voice, she begged, "Father, Fiendgod Body Refinement is so boring. Let's train in Ki."
"Ki? That's not a problem. As long as you can withstand your mother's whip, everything can be discussed!" Ning chuckled.
"Hmph, bad father!" Ji Mingyue patted Ning's back twice. She pouted, her eyes constantly darting about. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Hey, father, grandmaster and granduncle-master have come out of seclusion. Mingyue wants to go play with grandmaster!"
As she spoke, the little girl's entire body was covered in crimson flames. Riding a fiery cloud, she left Ning's back and flew towards a nearby mountain peak.
During this year, Cheng Hao and Lin Xi didn't leave this place. Instead, they settled down on the mountain peak next door.
They either went into seclusion to train or sat down to discuss the Dao. The two's days were rather leisurely and comfortable.
"Grandmaster, granduncle-master, Mingyue has come to see you!" Ji Mingyue giggled as she flew down from the crimson fiery cloud, carrying several brightly colored fruits in her hands.
"Mingyue has brought you some fruits as well. They're very sweet. Grandmaster, hurry up and have a taste!" The little girl ran over to Cheng Hao's side in a fawning manner. She placed the fruits on a nearby stone table, then happily began to wander about the mountain peak.
Bringing the fruits was just a pretense. Her real goal was to laze around at her grandmaster's place. The little girl knew very well that her mother was somewhat afraid of her grandmaster and granduncle-master. As long as the two of them weren't in seclusion and she hid here, her mother definitely wouldn't dare to come and bring her back.
Seeing Ji Mingyue wander about the mountain peak, Cheng Hao laughed. He didn't impose any restrictions on her. She was a child, after all. She was at the age where she loved to play. She wasn't in a rush to train in these one or two years.
"Cheng Hao, your disciple's Dao-companion … I imagine you've already seen some clues, right?" Seeing Ji Mingyue walk far away, Lin Xi sent mentally to Cheng Hao.
"Yes. If my guess is correct, she should be a subordinate of the Godking of the Seamless Gate." Cheng Hao had a calm look on his face. He knew exactly what was going on.
"Her feelings for your disciple shouldn't be fake. Still … are you just going to let her do as she pleases? Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Lin Xi frowned. Given her style, she never did things sloppily. Since she had discovered any signs of danger, she would nip them in the bud.
"Don't be hasty. The current Ji Ning trusts Yu Wei very much. If I rashly point out that his wife is a spy, he definitely won't believe me. Let's wait for them to reveal themselves first!"
Cheng Hao replied calmly, but in his heart, he had other plans.
The Godking of the Seamless Gate was extremely skilled in hiding his tracks. The Three Realms were simply too vast; not even Cheng Hao's subordinate forces had been able to discover any traces of this old fellow.
