From trickling to gurgling.
From tinkling to roaring.
… …
Hao Nu felt as if she was living in water as she listened to the song of water being played by the water color.
Even though she was still a Quasi-emperor...
Even though Xie Tian's cultivation was still not at her level...
However, this did not prevent her, who was a Quasi-emperor, from feeling the sweet voice from the bottom of the cultivation world.
"Lu Feiyang, what a good Lu Feiyang..."
Emperor Hao sighed softly as he watched with his hands clasped behind his back.
Comparatively speaking, he was at a higher level.
Not only could he enjoy the intoxicating sound of water that had enthralled Hao Nu, but he could also see through what was behind this beautiful sound.
"His understanding of the origin of water is less than thirty percent, but he was able to write the three thousand character word..."
Even though he had fought against the Evil Emperor countless times, he was still shocked by Xie Tian's ability to carve the water stele.
Depth was depth.
Breadth was breadth.
Generally speaking, one's understanding of the origin of the Heavenly Way encompassed both depth and breadth, but the breadth of understanding of the origin of water that Xie Tian had displayed was nearly a thousand times, or even a thousand times deeper!
Because of this!
Only Xie Tian could produce that water color!
Produce a sound that even a Quasi-emperor would be intoxicated by!
"So, even though the water stele you've condensed is only eight feet square, it's incredibly thick..."
Sighing softly, Emperor Hao could not help but sneer.
After all, before the sound of water and water had appeared, he had been worried about this son-in-law of his.
He was worried that he did not have enough power to condense the stone stele, worried that his thoughts were too clever, and that his cultivation foundation would not match up to his daughter...
But now, it seemed that his son-in-law not only had enough power to condense the stone stele, but his cultivation foundation had also become much stronger!
"Based on the breadth of your understanding of the origin of water, you only need a period of time..."
Emperor Hao evaluated briefly, then could not help but shake his head.
"Not as good as the Evil Emperor, but not too bad..."
Thinking of the Evil Emperor...
Some of Emperor Hao's suppressed emotions resurfaced, casting a shadow over his heart.
In his eyes, Xie Tian, who had lost the Grand Opening Heavenly Tribulation, did not possess the power to condense a tablet or inscribe inscriptions.
Based on the current reality, coupled with the shocking aura of the Evil Emperor that erupted from Xian Hong Mountain, it was easy for him to figure out how his cheap son-in-law had managed to survive.
"So, Hao 'er, are you here because of this?"
Her father's voice woke Hao Nu up.
Even though they were father and daughter, he didn't understand what his father was referring to.
My newly found happiness?
Her husband's Heavenly Tribulation?
The Evil Emperor's aura that erupted in Xian Hong Mountain?
Her husband's inscription was weak?
…
But she couldn't shake her head.
Because she cared about all these things.
When he thought about it …
She felt that the reason why she put aside her resentment towards her father in the ancient times and disregarded her reputation to come to this place was simply too inferior.
So, after a moment of silence, she said coldly, "Yes, what do you think?"
Emperor Hao still didn't turn around. He looked at Xie Tian, who was about to condense a second tablet, and said coolly, "The heir of the Evil Emperor, the desire to slay all worlds. This isn't what I said, but the nine of us said together. As for the reason … how could you do it to this brat?"
Emperor Hao didn't guess his daughter's thoughts.
Therefore, what he spoke of was something that he attached great importance to and that made him solemn.
Anyone who had a relationship with the Evil Emperor was a matter that could shake the Nine Heavens.
However, he was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly changed the topic to something he was even more concerned about.
The fact that he was slapped in the face was no longer important.
What was important was that he couldn't understand why his daughter, whom even the Evil Emperor didn't have the right to marry, would fall for a brat after so many years.
As if to emphasize his tone, as soon as he finished speaking, he turned his body halfway and looked back at his daughter.
His daughter was even more beautiful.
Beautiful because of happiness.
Beautiful because of her return to the world of mortals and worries.
Emperor Hao felt a faint sourness in his heart as he looked at the things his daughter had lost for so long and had finally found.
Be it happiness or worry, the object was not him, but Xie Tian.
It was at this moment that he saw his daughter smile.
A smile of incomparable satisfaction.
"Because, he deserves my love."
In order to maintain his steady image as a father, Emperor Hao stopped himself from stumbling after hearing those words.
At the same time, he also stopped a series of angry words like "My daughter isn't young anymore, can you be more steady? Don't be lovey-dovey all day, throw yourself at me on a whim, and throw yourself into danger," and so on.
Gradually, Emperor Hao fell silent.
He found that while his daughter still retained her youthful cuteness, her eyes that had been filled with happiness were starting to show vicissitudes.
"If this is really your decision after careful consideration …" Emperor Hao paused, "and if you won't regret it, then … I can only bless you."
Hao Nu, who had come because of Xie Tian, never imagined that her father would say such a thing. She was stunned for a moment.
A long time later …
"Father …"
The word "father" that came out of her tearfully shattered the barrier that had existed between father and daughter for countless years. Emperor Hao's long-suppressed fatherly love erupted like a volcano.
But in the end …
This explosive love only made him smile fondly as he patted Hao Nu's shoulder.
"Hao 'er, you've grown up. As long as you're willing to do it, then do it. Father … father will support you no matter what …"
"Father!"
The teary-eyed Hao Nu threw herself into Emperor Hao's arms and bawled.
Emperor Hao stroked his daughter's trembling back while looking at Xie Tian, who was about to finish carving the Daoist Stele of Fire.
"Brat, if you dare betray Hao 'er, then you'll accompany your father!"
Even the most intense emotional release wouldn't last for long.
The father and daughter didn't notice that there was a little head peeking at them from afar. After a brief moment of warmth …
"Father …"
Seeing Hao Nu smile after crying, Emperor Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's wrong with you now?"
"Actually, actually, I came back this time because …" Hao Nu felt a little embarrassed and stammered, "I came to ask for help."
"Father knows …"
"It's not about the Evil Emperor …" Hao Nu burst into laughter. "I'm worried that husband won't be able to carve the stele, so I came to find you …"
Emperor Hao was dazed for a moment before smiling bitterly. "Is that all I can do?"
"It's my fault. Father, you're the best!" Hao Nu held Emperor Hao's hand and acted like a spoiled child, but she didn't hide her pride. "Of course, husband is also very good …"
"Mm." Emperor Hao nodded and said meaningfully, "This husband of yours is indeed quite good. I wonder what kind of storm he'll cause in the Nine Skies in the future."
Hearing this …
Hao Nu was overjoyed.
The little head that had shrunk back fell into a daze.
