Chapter 606

"No, you wouldn't do that."

At this moment, there was no need for Amber to speak; Eula had already opened her mouth.

"If you intended to forcibly take Klee back to Liyue, you wouldn't be here saying these things to us, nor would you mention going to find Jean and Diluc and the others."

Bennett had originally been in a state of tension, fearing little Klee would be taken away by the other party right then, but Eula's words left him stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

Oh right! If the Mr. standing before them truly wanted to forcibly take little Klee away, there would be no need to say these things to them.

"Tsk, children really grow up and are hard to fool."

Jiang Yan let out a light sigh, speaking with some gloom, looking as if he had failed to find any fun.

Originally, Jiang Yan had intended to tease Amber and Eula before leaving.

After all, when they were young, that was how they were; Jiang Yan only needed to slightly scare them for them to scream and run away.

But now it seemed that wouldn't work.

These two little ones simply couldn't be scared anymore.

Uncomfortable!

Afterwards, Jiang Yan bent down and picked up little Klee; holding such a soft and fragrant little cutie in his arms was, no matter what, a mood-lifting experience.

Just like back when Jiang Yan particularly loved holding Naxida.

Unfortunately, now Naxida had grown into a young lady, and she no longer had that soft and fragrant feeling from her childhood.

Jiang Yan didn't even know why Naxida had shot up so fast.

In the plot of the previous life, Naxida hadn't changed much in appearance for five hundred years.

She had always maintained the appearance of a little cutie.

But with Jiang Yan, it was as if she had eaten some chemical fertilizer.

She had to grow a little bit every single year.

Now she was a graceful young lady.

Twenty years old, not small at all; when he himself was twenty, he had been riding the Great Buddha to fight the Chi Dragon.

"Alright, alright, once you finish your patrol, go to Diluc's office."

"Unless something unexpected happens, I should be staying there for the time being."

Jiang Yan said this to Amber and the other two.

"Okay."

Amber and the others nodded. Afterwards, Jiang Yan lightly tapped the ground with his toe, and his whole body soared into the air, flying towards the direction of Mondstadt City while holding Klee.

High above the sky.

Jiang Yan held little Klee; under his protection, little Klee felt no discomfort at all. In fact, in little Klee's perception, Jiang Yan's embrace was very comfortable.

Little Klee lay in Jiang Yan's arms, opening her watery big eyes to constantly observe the surroundings.

This was her first time coming to such heights in the sky.

"Dad... Dad, what a beautiful view..."

Little Klee opened her eyes wide, speaking in a milky, childish voice.

She tightly clutched Jiang Yan's clothes. Jiang Yan held Klee, watching the other party call him "Dad" in a unfamiliar way, and suddenly felt a sting in his nose.

The word "father" was, after all, strange to little Klee.

But this was not something Jiang Yan wished to cause.

After all, beforehand he simply did not know.

If it weren't for Barbatos telling him about this matter during the Lantern Rite, Jiang Yan might never have known that Alice had done such a thing behind his back.

"In the future, Dad will often take you flying in the sky, how about that?"

Jiang Yan stroked little Klee's smooth Bai Fa, speaking softly.

"Okay~"

Klee felt the warmth transmitted from Jiang Yan's large hand; the intimacy brought by their blood connection made Klee feel very comfortable.

Even her pair of elf ears twitched up and down.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan took little Klee and flew leisurely in the sky.

Once they had become familiar, little Klee began sharing many interesting things she had encountered with Jiang Yan.

For instance, how to accurately throw a Jumpy Dumpty to explode a whole school of fish at once.

And also, the survival rules that Vice-Master Jean had once given to Klee.

"Dad, are you a great hero?"

"Klee just saw you smash all those monsters in one go, so amazing!"

Little Klee lay in Jiang Yan's arms, asking Jiang Yan curiously.

"Dad, huh..."

Jiang Yan murmured, then suddenly chuckled lightly.

"Just an ordinary person with a bit of strength."

"So that's how it is. Dad looks so amazing, but is just an ordinary person?"

Klee nodded somewhat confusedly.

"Klee understands! In the future, if someone asks who Klee's Dad is, Klee will say Dad is an ordinary person with a bit of strength!"

Hearing Klee's milky, childish voice, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

This little girl is simply too cute!

Yes, her dad really is just an 'ordinary' person with a billion points of strength, so what?

"Right, just say that in the future."

"But if anyone wants to bully you, you must tell Dad."

"Dad has no other skills, but he does have a billion or so connections."

Jiang Yan chuckled as he spoke to Xiao Klee.

Xiao Klee then took a Boom-Bomb from her bosom and said proudly to Jiang Yan:

"Hmph, hmph, hmph! Dad, don't worry; no one can bully Klee!"

"Klee has a Boom-Bomb!"

As she spoke, Klee even held the Boom-Bomb up before Jiang Yan for him to see.

Jiang Yan, in turn, smiled and patted Xiao Klee's little head.

"Then it seems Xiao Klee is quite formidable."

"Hmph! Of course!"

Xiao Klee placed her hands on her hips, standing before Jiang Yan with an expression that said she was utterly capable.

(The little prompt that had vanished for who knows how long appeared again: Klee does make this move; it's the pose shown when opening her talents. So cute!)

All the way back to Mondstadt, the father and daughter chatted happily.

Arriving at the Knights of Favonius headquarters, they had just reached the Acting Grand Master's office when they saw Jean stepping out from inside.

"Grand Master Jean!"

"Klee!"

Jean saw Klee and Jiang Yan, froze for a moment, then said joyfully.

Jiang Yan set Klee down; Klee ran pitter-patter to Jean's side, grabbed her hand, and said to her:

"Grand Master Jean, Grand Master Jean, Klee has a Dad!"

Jean paused slightly upon hearing this; she looked at Jiang Yan standing not far away and asked him.

"Mr. Jiang Yan, are you certain?..."

Jiang Yan nodded and said to Jean:

"Yes, I have carefully checked; Klee is indeed my daughter."

Although Jean still found it hard to believe, since Jiang Yan himself had confirmed it, it must be correct.

"Let's go to the office first; is Diluc inside?"

Jiang Yan said to Jean.

"Yes, Diluc is inside; please follow me."

Jean had just entered the Acting Grand Master's office to deliver documents, so naturally she knew Diluc was currently inside the office.

"Good."
