Chapter 15: Tonight, I am the best under heaven

Absolutely not! I'm not that kind of person!

Lin Chuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Aside from having spring dreams, he in this life has never been intimate with any woman.

Could having spring dreams also make him a literal father?

"Now what do you say we do?"

Lin Yangyang said helplessly: "This girl has decided you're her father, and she can't find her mother; it's a trouble."

"How about we just raise her for now?"

Lin Chuan, as if possessed, blurted out a sentence.

He didn't know why, but he just felt the little girl was affable and couldn't help wanting to hug her.

"Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid your reputation will be ruined?"

Lin Yangyang gave her brother a meaningful look.

She seriously suspected this girl was Chuan'er's daughter, only Chuan'er was embarrassed to admit it.

Never mind; as her sister, she didn't need to expose it.

It was a mutual understanding.

Lin Chuan didn't care either: "What use is reputation? I'm not in a hurry to marry, so I might as well use the little girl as a shield."

"As long as you agree."

Lin Yangyang wasn't a stickler for propriety; besides, she also liked this little girl, and it was the first time she'd seen such a cute lass.

"Then let's do that."

Lin Chuan picked up Xiao Rumeng, who then gave him two kisses on the cheek.

"Daddy, Mengmeng really misses you."

"……"

Lin Chuan was hit by a sweet blow and didn't know how to reply.

Looking at the little girl's attire, it was very exquisite, and her accessories were valuable; she shouldn't be so poor as to need to randomly claim a father.

"Forget it, why think so much? Raising her won't eat much."

Lin Chuan always felt a mysterious force helping him convince his own heart.

Xiao Rumeng's next words made him stagger.

"Daddy, when are we going to look for Mommy?"

"You brat!"

"You start with just two legs, and you rely on finding your parents, right?"

"When Daddy's injury heals, I'll take you to find Mommy."

"Okay."

Xiao Rumeng giggled, kissed Lin Chuan's face twice more, and softly leaned against him.

"Mengmeng is really good."

Lin Chuan's mouth was about to split from smiling.

Lin Yangyang's head was full of question marks.

"Stinky brother!"

"You're putting on an act, huh?"

"Just a moment ago he was troubled and didn't know what to decide, and in the blink of an eye he's staging a deep father-daughter drama?"

"And you still say she's not your real daughter!"

"It's hopeless."

Lin Yangyang had a premonition that her little brother would surely become a slave to his daughter.

In the Void Space, Mo Sangyu watched this scene, very satisfied.

Her husband's closeness to their daughter gave her hope; perhaps his memory would soon recover.

Mo Sangyu did not show herself.

She didn't want her husband to be drowned in her looks, after all her beauty was too lethal for a mortal.

She hoped her husband would love her as a person.

"Let the husband bring the daughter for now; once I fully adapt to the laws of the Nine-phase World, I should be able to break through to the Supreme realm."

"Then we'll think of a way to help the husband awaken his memory."

The deep father-daughter bond in the Lin Family Courtyard finally put Mo Sangyu's worried heart at ease.

The daughter bore the seal she had placed; in Qingyun Prefecture she was absolutely safe.

"……"

"Evening."

Lin Yangyang personally went to the kitchen and made a tableful of good dishes.

Not only did Lin Chuan immerse himself in the role, Lin Yangyang also resolved to be a good aunt; both doted tightly on Xiao Rumeng.

Aside from the matter of randomly recognizing a father, the two found the girl obedient no matter where they looked, and adorable however they viewed her.

"After dinner."

"Another problem arose."

Lin Chuan would sleep for days at a stretch, making it unsuitable for Xiao Rumeng to sleep with him,

"but the girl insisted on sleeping with him."

"Like an octopus, she clung tightly to him, and even Aunt Lin Yangyang's words were useless."

The two were helpless, so they could only do as the maid wished.

Upon entering the bedroom, Xiao Rumeng became well-behaved again, merely holding Lin Chuan's arm, not making a fuss, very quiet.

The two locked eyes.

"Father, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you thinking of Mother?"

Xiao Rumeng's big, watery eyes blinked as she stared at Lin Chuan, never tiring of looking at him.

""

"I don't even know who your mother is, how could I think about her?"

"This child's brain works strangely, but fortunately her good looks successfully hide her other flaws."

Lin Chuan considered himself a handsome young gentleman.

But he felt he could not have fathered such a beautiful daughter; no matter how many times he looked, he would never grow tired.

This child's birth mother... just how beautiful must she have been?

Holding various questions, Lin Chuan gradually drifted into dreamland.

The scene shifted, and once again he arrived at the reincarnation dream of 【Prince of the Martial World】.

【"Tianqing Daoist, Huishen Monk, Yi Lian Layman, you three want to block this king?"】

【Three Teachings experts have arrived together, actually intending to save the Great Zhou Military God Ximen Wuxue.】

【"Patron Zhennan King, the Great Zhou's fate is not exhausted, Ximen Wuxue's life should not end, he cannot die."】

【"If he dies, this world will fall into chaos."】

【Huishen Monk clasped his hands together, and a golden light rose on Ximen Wuxue's body, forming a great bell that blocked your attack.】

【"Isn't this world chaotic enough? What does it matter if one Ximen Wuxue dies?"】

【You coldly stared at the three and loudly questioned.】

【Huishen Monk said: "We have no intention of making Nan Jiang our enemy; saving Ximen Wuxue is for the sake of this world."】

【"Bullshit about your mother."】

【You swore loudly: "Whoever dares to block me, this king will kill them! If you don't leave, this king will surely destroy the five-hundred-year lineage of the Confucian, Buddhist, Daoist Three Teachings."】

【Your words caused the faces of the three great experts of the Three Teachings to change dramatically.】

【They all know your temper; they will surely follow through on their words.】

【"Have you made up your minds?"】

【You raised your sword high, aiming at Ximen Wuxue's heart, and thrust down slowly.】

【Thud!】

【The golden bell remained, and the Three Teachings experts made their stance clear.】

【"You talk about the world falling into chaos, but you're just afraid that Nan Jiang will unify the world, monopolize the fortune, and make your Three Teachings no longer the supreme of the martial world."】

【In this world, it has always been multiple dynasties standing side by side, with a hundred schools contending.】

【Only twice in history has a dynasty achieved great unification: once by suppressing the hundred schools and honoring Confucianism alone; once by abolishing Confucian rites and Buddhism, with Daoism retreating into seclusion.】

【When a dynasty unifies and fortune converges, it is a situation that all martial world people do not wish to see.】

【The path you and Yun Zhi Yi will walk is destined to be overgrown with thorns.】

【"Kill!"】

【Even commoners strive for a breath; as the Zhennan King, how could you retreat? Even in death, you must make the world's fortune converge.】

【This is the gift you gave to Consort Yun Zhi Yi.】

【You forcibly infused Nan Jiang's fortune into your body; with one sword you opened the Heavenly Gate, and the power surpassing the Heavenly Human realm continuously flows into your body.】

【After this battle, your fate has only two possibilities.】

【Either ascend! Or die!】

【"Zhennan King, why are you so obstinate and unenlightened!"】

【Tianqing Daoist, Huishen Monk, Yi Lian Layman let out a soft sigh, and the three jointly struck out to block your fatal sword.】

【Those of the Three Teachings are not listed on the World Martial Arts Ranking.】

【Yet everyone knows that the top experts of the Confucian, Buddhist, Daoist Three Teachings are not in the slightest weaker than the top ten of the Martial Arts Ranking, and in some eras they even surpass them.】

【But at this moment, you are invincible.】

【Burning your life, you who have gathered Nan Jiang's fortune are tonight's true Number One Under Heaven, unstoppable.】
