The daughter's voice startled Chen Nan.
After all, ever since he took the Three Lives Creation Pill,
that girl had been in a deep slumber.
He hadn't expected her to wake up so soon and come to Jizhou.
He turned to look outside.
He saw the Empress, with their daughter and Nie Yao, walking in.
Both women were breathtakingly beautiful, with an unparalleled aura.
They were like peerless beauties stepped out of an ancient painting.
Chen Nian wore a light pink long dress and her hair was styled in two pigtails.
Her chubby, rosy face looked adorable and full of charm.
Especially her angry expression, which radiated a fierce cuteness.
"Is this my granddaughter?" Jia Cui asked, her face full of excitement.
By now, she no longer believed her son's words.
Looking at Chen Nan's appearance, it was clear she was his flesh and blood.
Chen Shan also couldn't suppress his excitement: "She looks so much like him, it's as if she was cast from the same mold as my son."
"My wife Si Ning pays her respects to Father and Mother!" The Empress, seeing this, performed the most solemn kneeling salute in the immortal realm.
Of course,
Nie Yao next to her did the same.
Although she hadn't borne Chen Nan a child,
she had long considered him the closest person to her.
Meeting his parents for the first time, she felt it was only right to perform this great ritual.
"Get up, get up, we don't do this kind of thing here." Jia Cui quickly helped the Empress and Nie Yao to their feet.
Chen Shan, even more nervously, picked up Chen Nian, smiling so broadly his mouth couldn't close.
As for Xu Qingxin, He Shanshan, Jian Ning, Xie Churan, and the others,
their expressions were rather unnatural.
Inviting everyone for a reunion dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a happy occasion.
But no one had expected
that Chen Nan would suddenly have a daughter.
This completely stole their spotlight,
making them feel insignificant.
Especially the Empress and Nie Yao.
In terms of looks, figure, and temperament, both women surpassed everyone else.
The Empress, in particular, exuded an aura of nobility and elegance,
making them feel utterly outmatched.
"Little darling, come, Auntie wants a hug!"
"I want a hug too!"
Chen Xiazhi and Chen Hanlu were also incredibly excited.
After all,
who wouldn't love such an adorable niece?
Hmph.
Heh heh.
Heh heh heh!
Chen Nan felt like crying without tears.
He believed he had never wronged his father,
and he deeply loved his daughter.
However!
Why didn't this little girl have any pity for her father?
Clearly,
after this, he would be utterly drained.
Yes.
If his daughter hadn't appeared, everyone would have continued to get along peacefully.
After all, none of them had yet borne heirs for the Chen family.
They had no sense of crisis, and everyone was on equal footing.
But now it was different.
The Empress already possessed an exceptional aura and peerless beauty.
They would undoubtedly feel a sense of crisis.
Not to mention that the Empress had given birth to a daughter for him.
Based on his understanding of them,
from this point onward,
he would be plunged into a sea of suffering!!!
Indeed.
Yes.
Once the balance tipped, there would be no more fairness to speak of!
------
Chen Nian's appearance made the atmosphere in the Chen family even warmer and more joyful.
Let alone Chen Shan and Jia Cui,
even Xu Qingxin and the others were very fond of this little girl.
Not only was she adorable,
but she was also very sweet-tongued!
Calling them "Big Aunt," "Second Aunt," one after another, it melted their hearts.
The entire family chatted in the living room, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
As a result,
the arduous task of cooking dinner fell upon Chen Nan.
Alright,
he was the one Jia Cui chased into the kitchen.
Ever since Chen Nan arrived, he felt like he had no sense of presence in this home.
To put it bluntly, he felt a bit redundant!
Although he felt a bit dejected,
wasn't it a happy dejection?
What could be more important than a family reunion?
Seeing his son working alone in the kitchen, Chen Shan felt a pang of empathy and came to help.
While stir-frying, Chen Nan said, "Returning to our previous topic, if you said before Niannian that my adoptive mother sent me away for some unspeakable reason, I might have believed you."
"But now that I have my own child."
"An unspeakable reason is no longer enough to forgive her for giving me away."
"Of course, I am also grateful that she sent me to you."
"At least here, I am very happy."
His daughter's premature birth had caused her to lose her fetal energy.
In order to help his daughter recover, he had ventured alone into the Demon Realm.
Searching for a sacred medicine.
All to help her recover.
In his heart,
children were his life!
Since they were born,
they had to be taken care of.
Otherwise, what was the point of giving birth to them?
Therefore,
regardless of the reason that woman gave birth to him and gave him away, it was unforgivable in his eyes.
------
After dinner,
Xu Qingxin and the other three left the Chen family.
They went together to Xie Churan's home.
As for the Empress and Nie Yao, they stayed at the Chen family's residence.
The little girl liked her grandmother and insisted on sleeping with Jia Cui.
As a result,
Chen Nan, the Empress, and Nie Yao slept in the same room.
Compared to the active, almost ravenous style of Xu Qingxin and the others,
he preferred spending time with the Empress and Nie Yao.
Perhaps it was due to living in the immortal realm, but they were relatively more conservative in that aspect.
To put it plainly, they didn't have many tricks up their sleeves.
At least they didn't use peppermint oil...
And the most important point was that they cared about Chen Nan.
"Niannian has grown up too."
"Since she is my daughter, she should live on Earth, receive Earth's cultural heritage and education."
"This is what I'm thinking. You two go to the capital and live there first."
"When I find the Liangzhou Ding, Yongzhou Ding, and Jizhou Ding, I will come to the capital to find you."
"Then we'll buy a bigger house and live together."
The Empress agreed.
They had been on Earth for some time now.
They discovered that life on Earth was far more interesting than in the immortal realm.
And they also wanted to integrate into urban life.
"It's getting late, you two should get some rest." Chen Nan said and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He had to treat everyone equally.
He couldn't just focus on the Empress and Nie Yao and neglect his confidantes at Xie Churan's place.
Although it was a bit tiring,
but!
What else could he do?
This was the price he had to pay for having a destiny filled with romantic entanglements!
Fortunately, Chen Nan was no ordinary mortal.
Although he was a bit tired,
he managed to satisfy everyone.
And he...
also received a transfer of 300,000 yuan.
60,000 yuan from each of the five people.
Adding up to exactly 300,000 yuan.
What could Chen Nan say?
If someone offered, he would accept.
Although he had a lot of money before leaving Earth,
most of it had been donated.
The money he earned now was enough to cover his daily expenses.
The next day,
Chen Nan and the others went to the capital.
In the afternoon, he, Xu Qingxin, and several accompanying personnel from Xu Qingxin's company boarded a flight to country M.
He had to retrieve the Liangzhou Ding.
It was a supreme divine artifact in the myths of Great Xia, how could it be left overseas?
After boarding the plane, he fell into a deep sleep.
After all,
he had been truly exhausted last night, and even he couldn't quite handle it.
And as the plane flew over the Pacific Ocean,
Chen Nan awoke in agony!
It felt as if countless needles were piercing his brain simultaneously, causing him unbearable pain.
At the same time,
his cultivation was also reduced back to that of a mortal.
There was not a trace of immortal energy left within him!
Chen Nan's heart surged with disbelief: "The Heavenly Dao rules of the Western world are too powerful!"
