Chapter 2

In the world of cultivation, Lin Fan, an orphan by birth, had no memories of his parents. Throughout his life, he had never experienced the feeling of having a family. Now, reborn in a different world, he had integrated the memories of Earth's Lin Fan, along with his emotions. He could feel the affection for the parents of this body, a sense of blood connection that he had never experienced in his past few thousand years. This feeling made Lin Fan wholeheartedly accept the identity of Earth's Lin Fan and his family.

"Hmph! Since I have descended into this body, I will naturally seek justice for you! Those who have wronged me, insulted me, and harmed me, I will make you pay one by one! Mother, I will save you and give you justice!" Lin Fan clenched his fists and made a silent resolve in his heart.

Thinking about this, Lin Fan looked at the little girl lying on top of him with a strange expression. After absorbing the memories of the original owner of this body, Lin Fan finally learned the background of the cute little princess before him.

Her mother's name is Ling Xuefei, the only daughter of Ling Tian, the chairman of the Ling Group. Although the Ling Group cannot compare to the four major families of Xia, it is still a prominent and influential conglomerate, a giant in the entertainment industry. Five years ago, Ling Xuefei represented the Ling Group and went to Yang'an City to attend the highest-level business negotiation conference in Xia. At that time, Lin Fan was still a complete playboy.

Their encounter could be勉强 considered a case of a bear rescuing a beauty. By chance, they came together, and unexpectedly, this one encounter resulted in Ling Xuefei becoming pregnant!

In fact, Lin Fan had never known he had a daughter. After that night, they never met again. When Ling Xuefei found out she was pregnant, she went to live abroad and gave birth to the little princess there.

Over the years, Ling Xuefei had been living abroad with her daughter. If there had been no unexpected events, she would never have set foot in Xia again. However, everything changed when the little girl turned four. As she grew older and became more aware, she noticed that other children had fathers and started demanding one too. Ling Xuefei, unable to bear seeing her daughter unhappy, brought her back to Xia.

After returning to Xia, Ling Xuefei found Lin Fan through various inquiries. She sent her daughter to Lin Fan, allowing her to live with her father for a week to make up for the absence of a father in her childhood. On the other hand, it was also to make her daughter give up on this fallen father sooner.

Now, it was the second day since the little girl was sent to Lin Fan.

After confirming that the little girl was his biological daughter, Lin Fan's heart began to beat rapidly. In his previous life, he was a complete cultivation fanatic. Although countless fairy maidens and holy women had offered themselves to him, wanting to bear his children, he had never given them a second glance. Now, he suddenly had a daughter, and the sense of blood connection was so clear. This feeling made him intoxicated, and he subconsciously accepted the existence of this daughter.

"Daddy, I'm hungry," the little girl said weakly.

"Daddy will get you something to eat," Lin Fan said, gently stroking the little girl's head and then carrying her to one side. He got out of bed, rummaged through his belongings, and found a box of milk that hadn't expired. He inserted a straw and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, Daddy."

The little girl said in a clear voice, then held the milk with both hands and drank it gracefully.

Lin Fan propped his chin on his elbow and stared at the little girl, a gentle look in his eyes, and a soft smile appeared on his lips.

Two minutes later, the little girl finished her milk. Lin Fan took the empty milk box from her and put it aside, then gently wiped her mouth with a tissue. The little girl let out a cute burp and stretched out her chubby little arms to Lin Fan, saying in a baby voice, "Daddy, hug me."

Lin Fan felt a lump in his throat and gently picked up the little girl, bringing her close to his body.

"Daddy, I finally found you. Mommy said you went to a very far place and told me not to look for you, but Qiqi misses Daddy. Qiqi pestered Mommy to find Daddy, and now Qiqi finally sees Daddy. Qiqi is so happy, mua~"

The little girl pouted and said a lot, then without minding how messy Lin Fan was, she kissed his cheek.

In an instant, Lin Fan's heart melted. This feeling was something he had never experienced before. The warmth, tenderness, and gentleness made him intoxicated, and he couldn't help but hold the little girl even tighter.

"Ha ha ha! I, Lin Fan, have a daughter! I have a daughter! Ha ha ha!"

Lin Fan was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. If the people in the cultivation world saw this, they would probably drop their jaws. The name of Xuan Yang Immortal Lord was known to everyone in the cultivation world, a ruthless and decisive person who had once, in a fit of anger, massacred the four major sects of Central State. But now, he was completely a doting father, a madman for his child, with no trace of his former ferocity and cruelty.

The little girl, hugging her father's neck, laughed along with her father's happy laughter, and her silver bell-like laughter made Lin Fan even happier.

"Sweetheart, you're called Qiqi. What's your full name?" Lin Fan asked in an exceptionally gentle voice. If the people in the cultivation world heard this tone, they would probably be so shocked they wouldn't be able to fly.

"Um... um... Qiqi... I'm called Qiqi..." the little girl pouted and said.

"Qiqi is your nickname. Do you have any other names?" Lin Fan chuckled and asked patiently.

"Oh... yes... yes..." the little girl bit her thumb, tilted her head, and said in a baby voice, "I'm called... Ling Mengqi..."

Hearing this name, Lin Fan's smile became even brighter. He looked at the little princess in his arms and said to himself, "Ling Mengqi, Ling Mengqi, ha ha, truly my Lin Fan's good daughter, my little treasure."

"Yep! Qiqi is Daddy's little treasure," Qiqi said happily.

In fact, Qiqi's real name was Ling Mengqi, taking her mother's surname. But Lin Fan had misheard it as Lin Mengqi. If he knew that Qiqi didn't take his surname but her mother's, he might not have the same expression now.

Looking at the little princess in his arms, Lin Fan had already elevated her to the most important position in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to protect his little treasure and give her the best in the world.

"Unfortunately, the true qi in my body is completely gone, and I can't even activate the lowest-level cultivation technique. Now, I'm just an ordinary person. No, I'm even worse than an ordinary person. This body is simply too weak. How can I take care of Qiqi and protect her in this state!"

"My storage ring was also destroyed by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. It's a pity that all the treasures I collected over thousands of years are gone, not a single one left. Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, you're ruthless!"

"Hey, I don't believe I, Lin Fan, came to this world with nothing. There should be something, right?"

Thinking about this, Lin Fan began to search his body carefully. After feeling all over, he finally found a paper ball in his bird's nest-like hair. It had the aura of the cultivation world, so it must have been brought from that world. However, Lin Fan couldn't remember what it was. After all, in his thousands of years of cultivation, he had seen and touched too many treasures, and this one, being so casually crumpled and placed, was certainly not a very precious item.

"Rustle!"

Lin Fan slowly unfolded the paper ball and saw that it contained two pills!
