"Daddy? Daddy?"
What's that sound?
Enveloped in a coma, Xu Fan seemed to have heard something in the obscurity and felt a soft and sticky little hand caressing his face.
What is going on?
Wasn't I undergoing the Celestial Tribulation?
With this thought in mind, Xu Fan struggled to open his incredibly heavy eyes and finally discovered that he was in a dilapidated rental room. And by his side was an exquisitely crafted little girl!
In this shabby and dirty rental room, the little girl looked like an angel, lightening Xu Fan's heart.
"You... who are you?"
Xu Fan asked the little girl, but just as he began to speak, he found his voice to be incredibly hoarse, his throat feeling as though it was on fire.
Seeing Xu Fan's state, the little girl hurriedly picked up a water cup from the side, clumsily poured a glass of water from the table, and brought it to Xu Fan, her little face full of "please praise me."
Xu Fan couldn't help but give a wry smile at the little girl's actions, gently taking the cup of water and drinking a sip, which made him feel much better.
Looking around at that moment, Xu Fan realized he was lying amidst a pile of wine bottles, emitting an unpleasant odor all over. He didn't know how the little girl could stand it.
Upon reflecting carefully, Xu Fan took a deep breath. This time, he really messed up.
Xu Fan was originally a peerless genius in the Immortal Realm. In just a few thousand years, he had cultivated to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and when Xu Fan faced the Celestial Tribulation, what descended was the formidable Nine-Tribulations Heavenly Tribulation.
Having ascended too quickly, Xu Fan's foundation was somewhat unstable. The endlessly persistent nine layers of heavenly thunder obliterated all the precious treasures Xu Fan had collected into dust!
When Xu Fan was struck by the last divine thunder, he thought he would be utterly annihilated. But unexpectedly, after waking up, he found himself inhabiting the body of this seemingly decadent young man.
"It seems that the heavens have given me a second chance..."
Yet, as Xu Fan was contemplating these matters, he felt his arm being shaken. Coming to his senses, he saw the adorable little girl in front of him, looking at him with a plaintive expression, as if saying:
"Why haven't you praised me yet..."
Xu Fan couldn't help smiling, addressing the little lolita:
"Who are you, and what's your name?"
"I am Tongtong, you are my daddy. Daddy, how come you don't recognize me again!"
As she spoke, Tongtong, evidently upset, pouted her little mouth, which ironically made her even more adorable.
Seeing the displeased look on the little lolita's face, Xu Fan found it somewhat amusing. He gently took Tongtong's hand, just about to say something. But his body suddenly trembled, and a warm current arose in his heart, a feeling of blood connection filling Xu Fan's mind!
This is my daughter!
But right now, as this thought crossed Xu Fan's mind, his head suddenly thudded, as if a floodgate had opened, and a surge of memories instantly filled his brain!
The memories of this young man called Xu Fan, spanning over twenty years, charged directly into the memories of the cultivator Xu Fan, intertwining with each other until they finally fused into one!
Xu Fan took a deep breath, having finally figured out the identity of this youth!
Xu Fan hadn't expected himself to look so average, yet his status was not low. The Xu Family was one of the four great families of Yan Country, and Xu Fan's father, Xu Tianlong, was the Family Head of the Xu Family. He wielded immense power, so much so that a mere cough from him could make the entire Yan Country tremble!
Regrettably, three years ago, Xu Tianlong met with an untimely death, which caused an uproar across the entire Yan Country. The Xu Family, having no other choice, had to let the Xu Senior preside over the family affairs, which ultimately revealed a shocking secret. Xu Tianlong's death was not an accident but a premeditated murder!
What was even more shocking was that the murderer of Xu Tianlong turned out to be his own wife and Xu Fan's mother, Zhang Qingning!
Enraged, the Xu Family's senior patriarch imprisoned Zhang Qingning in the family's Shadow Prison. As her son, Xu Fan was naturally implicated and completely stripped of his status as the heir to the family, reduced to an outcast!
At that time, Xu Fan was nothing more than a rich playboy who indulged in pleasure, unable to withstand the fall from grace. Thus, he became utterly corrupt, spending his days in drunkenness until he died of alcohol poisoning, his soul departing from this world.
However, reaching this point in his thoughts, Xu Fan's eyes began to sparkle with a hint of light.
The former Xu Fan might have been a worthless heir, but the current Xu Fan was different; he sensed something fishy about the whole affair. After all, Xu Fan remembered Zhang Qingning as an incredibly gentle woman, who would tearfully empathize with the pain of stray cats and dogs, let alone commit murder.
Moreover, Xu Tianlong and Zhang Qingning's relationship was affectionate, and Xu Fan was the only heir to the family. How could Zhang Qingning possibly ruin her own future by murdering her husband?
Having roamed The Immortal Realm for many years, Xu Fan's intuition was sharp. With so many doubts clouding the incident, it must have been a conspiracy. The murder of the Family Head followed by exiling the family's heir—who stood to gain from this?
Now that Xu Fan had the memories of the original owner of this body, he could feel the parental love he had never experienced in The Immortal Realm, and his heart empathized as if Xu Tianlong and Zhang Qingning were his own parents.
"Since this immortal has taken over your body, it is only natural for me to seek justice for you, rescue your wronged mother, and find the real murderer to avenge you comprehensively!"
At this moment, Xu Fan thought to himself, and suddenly, he felt a lightness in his heart, as if something had left his body.
Xu Fan knew it must have been the remnant soul of the young man, which had finally dissipated after receiving Xu Fan's promise.
At this moment, Xu Fan also looked tenderly at Tongtong in front of him, remembering the origins of this beautiful little girl.
Tongtong's mother was named Xu Yixue, and she was the chairwoman of the Xu Corporation.
Although the Xu Family could not compare with the Xu Family, they were still one of the prominent great families in Yan Country.
Six years ago, Xu Yixue had attended a conference in Yi Country but was ambushed by rival forces. At that time, Xu Fan happened to be traveling in Yi Country and, seeing a fellow countrywoman in trouble, naturally lent a hand.
Afterward, the two had a fleeting marital encounter in Yi Country. However, Xu Yixue unexpectedly became pregnant and later gave birth to Tongtong.
Knowing she was pregnant, Xu Yixue never saw Xu Fan again and spent her life abroad to avoid him.
This time, Xu Yixue had just returned to the country on business, and Tongtong had been crying for her father. Xu Yixue had no choice but to bring Tongtong to Xu Fan, entrusting him to take care of her, thus allowing father and daughter to acknowledge each other.
```
Looking at Tongtong in front of him, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart. He had already guessed Xu Yixue's intention. By having Tongtong come over this time, it wasn't just to acknowledge their father-daughter relationship, he feared it was more about letting this child see for herself what kind of man her father was so that Tongtong would completely give up on her own father, right?
And Xu Yixue's guess was entirely correct. The original Xu Fan, upon seeing Tongtong, showed no signs of improvement, instead he intensified his drinking, and this time he drank himself to death, which led to Xu Fan inhabiting this body.
Feeling this blood connection, Xu Fan's heart was seized by an unprecedented palpitation.
Although he had roamed The Immortal Realm for thousands of years, he had never had a true descendant, and this kind of blood connection was an experience Xu Fan had never had before. He couldn't help but grasp it, and in an instant, he accepted the existence of his daughter!
"Haha, I actually have a daughter! I, Xu Fan, also have a daughter now!"
At that moment, Xu Fan was overwhelmingly excited. He hugged Tongtong in his arms and spun around joyfully, while Tongtong laughed merrily as well.
After playing for a while, father and daughter bonded quite a bit. Tongtong didn't mind the disheveled state of Xu Fan's face and kissed him heavily:
"Having a dad feels so great, I like dad the most!"
Hearing these words, Xu Fan's heart nearly melted. He couldn't help but want to give his daughter all the best things in the world!
But upon glancing at his surroundings and his filthy clothes, Xu Fan's eyes revealed a trace of disdain.
With such an environment and in such a state, how could he protect his daughter?
Thinking of this, Xu Fan couldn't stop himself from searching his own body.
Although all the treasures on Xu Fan's body had been shattered to crumbs by the nearly endless heavenly thunder, even his storage ring had turned to ashes, Xu Fan still remembered that in the last moment, he seemed to have grabbed something from inside the storage ring, he must have brought something with him!
Soon, Xu Fan finally found something amidst the pile of liquor bottles!
When Xu Fan was struck by the heavenly thunder, he thought he would be obliterated. He only grabbed something instinctively, without discerning what it was, so he himself was unclear about what he had grabbed.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Fan discovered two dark pills inside a small crumpled piece of paper.
"A Body-Forging Pill and a Spirit Wisdom Pill? That's good, that's good!"
The Body-Forging Pill was a fourth-grade elixir that could stimulate Spiritual Power and aid cultivators in forming their Nascent Soul, a truly rare and valuable treasure.
The Spirit Wisdom Pill, though slightly inferior, was a third-grade elixir, capable of enhancing intelligence and obedience in spirit beasts.
To the former Xu Fan, these two elixirs would have seemed insignificant, but now, without any Spiritual Power and with Earth's sparse Spiritual Power, it would be anyone's guess how many years it would take for Xu Fan to cultivate back to being a cultivator on his own.
So, with this Body-Forging Pill, Xu Fan could step through the gates of Cultivation in one go, and even hope to condense a Nascent Soul within a century!
The Spirit Wisdom Pill was also quite useful. Xu Fan could raise a spirit beast, not only to protect Tongtong but also to give her a companion.
After inspecting the two elixirs, Xu Fan was about to throw away the small crumpled piece of paper. However, at that moment, he noticed a fluorescent glow flickering on it.
All of a sudden, Xu Fan realized that this piece of paper, almost like waste, was actually a talisman!
Talismans in The Immortal Realm are quite a common means, and though talisman masters may not possess powerful bodies and various magical treasures of Nascent Souls, they do have all sorts of incredibly strange talismans, making them extremely powerful.
The most skilled talisman masters could even create the Five Thunder Primordial Talismans with the power of heavenly thunder! Wielding a heavenly tribulation, they were truly frightening!
```
The talisman that Xu Fan had in his hand was known as the Soul-Confusing Talisman, which could directly bewilder a person's heart, making the affected person completely obey the commands of the caster.
This kind of talisman could only be used when there was a hierarchy of power, so it wasn't that useful in The Immortal Realm.
After all, the people in The Immortal Realm were always busy. For those who could smack you dead with one slap, why bother controlling you with a talisman?
However, for Xu Fan at the present moment, this talisman was even more useful than the Five Thunder Primordial Talisman!
After all, Xu Fan was now on Earth, having lost all his cultivation, but this talisman could control the hearts of people, which was bound to be unexpectedly useful!
Having found these three great items, Xu Fan was satisfied, finally feeling like he had some capital to establish himself.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
At that moment, Tongtong tugged on Xu Fan's hand, and only then did Xu Fan realize that it was already noon. He squatted down and said to Tongtong,
"Alright, Daddy will take you out for a meal, but you'll have to wait for me a little bit. Daddy needs to take a shower, I smell bad!"
"Heehee, Daddy is a sloppy ghost, stinky stinky!"
Hearing this, Tongtong covered her nose and giggled.
Seeing Tongtong's smile, Xu Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and asked her,
"Tongtong, what is your name?"
"Tongtong's name is just Tongtong…"
Tongtong blinked her large eyes with a hint of confusion upon hearing Xu Fan's question.
Xu Fan, realizing he was too hasty, explained further to Tongtong,
"Daddy is asking if Tongtong has a formal name."
"Oh... Yes, I do. My formal name is Xu Wantong, but everyone just calls me Tongtong!"
Hearing this, Xu Fan smiled even more. Xu Wantong, huh? That's a nice name. It seems like Xu Yixue has raised Tongtong well. In that case, I will give her a chance, the opportunity to be my woman.
But Xu Fan misheard; Tongtong's surname was Xu, not Xu, the childish lisp making it hard for Xu Fan to hear clearly.
It's unknown how Xu Fan, who was so generously offering Xu Yixue a chance, would react when they actually met.
"Okay, Tongtong, wait here for me. Daddy will take a quick shower, and then we can go out and eat something delicious!"
"Yay! I'll wait here and be good. I definitely won't run around!"
Tongtong promised in her childishly sweet voice and promptly sat down on a small stool, as if to assure him, "I definitely won't move from here."
Seeing Tongtong's behavior, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile again, and he quickly entered the bathroom.
He couldn't stand his untidy appearance, wondering how Tongtong had managed to kiss him earlier.
