Chapter 2463: Just be envious, then

"I suddenly feel much better." Xiao Feng's expression eased.

"Weakling. After training so long, your mind is still that fragile." Chen Jie shook his head in contempt.

"I'm..."

Xiao Feng wanted to explain, but then gave up—it would just be wasting breath.

He changed the subject, asking: "How did you start calling my daughter sister? Bottom line, I and your father aren't the same living being, so don't mistakenly claim kinship—I can't give you New Year's money."

Chen Jie glared with her almond eyes: "What, you're not happy that a Dao Ancestor calls you dad?"

Xiao Feng wasn't intimidated by her aura and retorted: "Nobody could stand a daughter like yours. Besides, how many times have you called your own father 'dad'? You've always wanted to be her dad, haven't you? I'm well aware of that—the Clear Wind Mountain Master is even written in 《Starting with a Group of Primitive People》!"

He was determined to uphold the status of his two daughters, ensuring they had "uniqueness"!

Chen Jie: ……

After all these years, this was the first time someone had retorted her into speechlessness.

After sulking for a while, she finally let out a soft hum and said: "You don't know what's good for you. Chen Li treats your daughter better than his own daughter, yet you speak to me so coldly. Compared to that, my own father is indeed better."

"Huh? You mean..."

Xiao Feng thought, and she probably wasn't speaking nonsense.

Just moments ago he had been wondering why his two daughters could remain invincible in the game.

Now the answer is revealed: it's actually Chen Li secretly giving them attributes, items, bosses—all kinds of good stuff nonstop—which keeps them at the top even without undergoing a major transformation.

"Xiao Feng."

Chen Jie called out

in a voice, asking: "You really don't want to swap places with Chen Li, do you?"

"Swap places? No way, no way, no way!" Xiao Feng firmly shook his head.

He doesn't like swapping identities with others.

Especially with a house full of lovely wives, isn't that just asking for trouble?

"No... you're thinking of something else—I didn't mean swapping family!" Seeing his reaction, Chen Jie knew his mind was on women.

"Then what are you saying?" Xiao Feng asked cautiously.

Chen Jie said: "Of course it's the Master of the Universe's identity. You can take his place, letting him gain freedom. He's very strong and now wants to explore the depths of the high-dimensional universe, heading to the origin of the Myriad Worlds Tree to investigate. But his avatar can't stray too far from the universe; he needs his Origin Realm true body to roam the high-dimensional world. Only by replacing him can he be freed; otherwise he'll remain trapped here forever."

Xiao Feng countered: "So you want me to be stuck in this universe, gradually losing my humanity and walking the path he walked?"

"This..."

Chen Jie's face showed regret: "This isn't ideal, but you are literally an incarnation of the Cosmic Will—this might be your destiny. And once you become Master of the Universe, you'll have infinite power, able to possess whatever you desire."

Xiao Feng shook his head: "I already have everything I want now; I don't need to sacrifice my feelings for more. Saving the universe is your father's doing, not mine—he's a hero, a god, the Cosmic Will. He bears many burdens, which I admire, but please forgive me for not sacrificing myself to bring him back. I'm just an ordinary cultivator; my name is Xiao Feng, I am my parents'

son, my wife's husband, my children's father. My title is Lord of Myriad Heavens, having risen from the Myriad Heavens World and now approaching the Dao Ancestor Realm... that's all there is to me, nothing else."

"Xiao Feng..."

Seeing him speak so resolutely, Chen Jie couldn't help but sigh.

She said: "Actually... Chen Li is quite pitiful."

"Maybe so, but this is your family's affair—sorry, I can't help." Xiao Feng's tone was somewhat cold.

He certainly knew the Master of the Universe bore great pressure, with burdens unimaginable to ordinary people.

He also felt grateful to Chen Li for giving him the Origin Book, which secretly guided him onto the path of cultivation, step by step to where he is now.

He is a good lord and a good teacher.

But... this is not a reason for Xiao Feng to submit to the arrangement!

He has his own path to walk; his past origins cannot dictate his destiny—he must cultivate himself to the Origin Realm and forge his own supreme way!

This... was originally a direction Chen Li had prepared for him.

"Sigh, both of them are so worrisome."

Chen Jie let out a faint sigh, like a parent worrying about their child.

Xiao Feng saw her worried look and couldn't help but say: "Sister, thank you for all your help and support over the years—I truly can't assist you in this regard. But if I go further in the future and find a way, I will certainly not spare any means and will do my utmost to help your father regain human emotions."

"Don't call me sister." Chen Jie didn't hear his latter words, merely emphasizing: "You're about to break through; we're peers."

Xiao Feng asked her: "Can't peers call each other sister? Precisely because we're peers we should use that term; otherwise I'd have to call you aunt."

"You little brat

!"

Chen Jie raised her hand and punched him, somewhat displeased, saying: "You clearly know what's on my mind..."

What's on my mind...

She means... that aspect?

Xiao Feng naturally has the answer in his heart.

But he pretended not to know, asking: "Sister, what are you thinking? Let me guess... oh, is it what we said before—that once I become a Dao Ancestor, you'll give yourself completely to me?"

"Sigh."

Chen Jie leaned back on the sofa, head tilted to look at the ceiling, full of helplessness, as if reproaching him for his lewd thoughts.

Xiao Feng saw her displeased face and smiled, asking: "Otherwise? Sister, you couldn't possibly want me to impersonate your father, could you? That's too absurd—I can't really accept that."

Chen Jie couldn't help but feel wistful, sighing: "Yeah, you're you, he's he—ultimately they're not one entity. Earlier I was trying to make you become like him; you two share the same origin, and after transformation it's hard to tell them apart. Then I could seize this chance to beat him up, make him obediently call me dad. Too bad... it's meaningless."

"Uh... indeed."

Xiao Feng had just been wondering whether the Dao Ancestor Sister had a twisted mind, wanting him to ride her and then call her dad.

Turns out he guessed wrong!

She wants him to call her dad!

This girl really won't give up her thieving heart!

"Give it up, Dad is Dad, child is child, it can never be changed." He advised.

"Hmm." Chen Jie nodded slightly to show agreement.

Her gaze penetrated the ceiling, seeing upstairs Qingruo and Yuran accompanying another incarnation of Xiao Feng chatting and laughing, and also seeing the three of them carefree in the game world.

Unable to help feeling a bit envious, she said: "He never accompanies me like this to play, hit"

From the moment I was born, it has always been cultivation, cultivation.

"Envious?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

"A little." She admitted.

Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "Being envious is useless; just stay envious."

"Huh?"

Chen Jie thought he was going to comfort himself, but unexpectedly it was kicking someone when they're down.

Instantly his anger flared, his brows rose, and he shouted loudly: "You brat, dare to speak to me like that before even becoming a Dao Ancestor; today I'll give you a lesson in front of your two daughters!"

Saying that, he lunged at Xiao Feng, and the two Dao Ancestor-level powers unfolded a heart-pounding close-quarters battle on the small living room sofa.
