Because this return was a complete accident, Xiao Yan hadn't brought any gifts. But since he'd soon be taking his entire family to enjoy a life of prosperity in the Great Thousand World, he wasn't too concerned about it. Still, his sudden reappearance brought immense joy to the Xiao Clan—especially to his beloved companions, who had long awaited his return.
"Brother Xiao Yan! You're finally back!" The moment she saw him, Xun'er rushed forward and threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms. The other girls followed immediately after, tightly hugging him. If they weren't standing in public right now, judging by their passion, Xiao Yan had no doubt they would've pinned him down and started a long-overdue battle right there and then…
"Alright, alright, it's only been a short while, not like I vanished forever. No need to act like this, everyone's watching." Staring at the beautiful faces he'd longed for all this time, Xiao Yan's usually resolute gaze softened, and he gently patted their backs, signaling for them to calm down before they became a laughingstock.
"Hehe, enough talk. Hand over all the tasty food and fun stuff from the Great Thousand World!" Compared to Xun'er, Zi Yan was far more straightforward. She stretched out her hand for gifts without hesitation. Xiao Yan was speechless—this girl was supposed to be the Dragon Emperor, yet she still acted like a child.
Just then, something struck Xiao Yan as odd. By his estimate, it had been about a year or two since he left the Dou Qi Continent. He had only been seventeen when he ascended, so the girls should have grown a bit more in that time. Yet strangely, they looked even more petite and youthful than before.
When he asked about it, he received a dumbfounding answer. Due to his legendary exploits, they had come to believe he had… certain preferences. They'd actually asked Yao Lao to concoct a pill to keep their bodies in this state. That was why they looked the way they did now.
Upon learning this, Xiao Yan realized that the title of "Lolicon" might stick with him for life. He'd hoped that once they matured, he could clear his name. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect them to go to such lengths…
"By the way, Xiao Yan, we have a surprise for you." Just as he was feeling helpless, Cai Lin walked over, cradling a small girl in her arms.
Xiao Yan glanced at the child and rolled his eyes. "Come on now. You really think I'm that much of a beast? This little girl looks like she's barely a year old. No matter how desperate I am, I wouldn't go that far!"
"Uh... no, actually, she's—"
"Say no more. I know what you're trying to imply." Xiao Yan cut her off before Cai Lin could explain. "Fine, I admit, I'm a bit of a pervert. You all say I like lolis, whatever, I'll take the hit. But even I have standards. I'm not that far gone. Just take her back to wherever she came from."
"Xiao Yan..." Just then, Xiao Yixian tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "She's actually your daughter. Cai Lin gave birth to her."
"My… daughter?" The words struck Xiao Yan like lightning. His entire mind blanked out. He turned to the little girl in Cai Lin's arms. Now that he looked closely, she really did resemble him somewhat. The child, upon seeing Xiao Yan, stretched out her tiny hands, as though instinctively recognizing someone deeply familiar.
"A daughter… I have a daughter… What's her name?" Xiao Yan reached out and held the little girl. Looking at her delicate, porcelain-like face, a warm, indescribable feeling welled up within him—something instinctual, born from blood and soul.
"Xiao Xiao," Cai Lin replied softly, her eyes brimming with maternal affection.
Just then, Zi Yan blurted out, completely ruining the moment, "Wait, doesn't Sister Cai Lin call you Daddy? So… should this kid call you Dad or Brother-in-law?"
"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!" Xiao Yan glared at her, ready to explode. This girl really needed to be put in her place every few days. He suddenly thought of something and urgently asked, "You didn't let Zi Yan near Xiao Xiao, did you?"
"Nope."
"Good." Xiao Yan sighed in relief.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Zi Yan protested. "She's practically my daughter too! You make it sound like I'd mistreat her!"
"It's not that I think you'd mistreat her… It's that you'd spoil her rotten," Xiao Yan muttered under his breath. If he really left his daughter in Zi Yan's hands, he could already imagine Xiao Xiao turning into a little demon lord.
"Why are you all like this! Hmph, I don't care anymore. If Cai Lin can have a child after all this time, then I want one too!" Zi Yan grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, saying something so outrageous he nearly coughed up blood on the spot.
Truthfully, she'd always wanted to play with Xiao Xiao. She even suggested taking her to Ancient Dragon Island, but Cai Lin and the others firmly refused—Zi Yan was just too unreliable. Who knew what might happen if she got her hands on the child? Frustrated, she'd secretly vowed that once Xiao Yan returned, she would make sure to get herself pregnant so she could have a baby of her own to play with.
"Big sis, do you think having a kid is something you can do just for fun?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. This girl never failed to say the most outrageous things. She even treated childbirth like a game.
Knowing her, even if she managed to get pregnant, she'd probably start complaining about how hard it was. And even if the child was born, she'd likely get bored after two days and try to throw the baby away. The chaos would be unimaginable.
Honestly, if Zi Yan really did give birth to his child…
For some reason, a vivid image popped into Xiao Yan's mind—a little girl identical to Zi Yan, standing with her hands on her hips, shouting, "Old man, hurry up and drop some gold coins!" At that point, he might truly be forced to deliver some righteous punishment himself…
