This man was being hopelessly controlled by his daughter, to the point that he no longer remembered the important task at hand. Yi Qing sighed and sat down on a chair in front of him. He let the little toddler in his arms rest on his thighs as he said in a low voice, “Master, you… do you remember anything?”

Baby Ying stared blankly back at him, as if whatever he just said flew right past her head. The big, watery eyes blinked back at him.

Yi Qing studied her very closely for half a minute, and found nothing in those big, round eyes of hers. There was not even a hint of familiarity. Shen Ying, on the other hand, sensed that he was getting upset. She picked up the toy boat made out of immortal pills that Lonemoon had handed to her earlier and held it out to Yi Qing.

Her thoughts were clearly written on her face: If you like it, we can play with it together!

“Forget it, forget it.” Lonemoon’s heart was beginning to ache. He interrupted Yi Qing. “Little Ying has already said that she’s only three years old. How much could she know?” He retrieved a dharmic bell from inside his robe and looked at her mischievously. “Do you want to play with this? Come over to Daddy!” He could not help but reach out to carry her, but Yi Qing shunned away, glaring at him icily. Get lost – stop trying to tempt my master.

Lonemoon’s expression fell as he caught air. How could you! That’s my daughter.

“We cannot delay the problem with that mushroom world. Let’s go to the divine territory first,” Yi Qing changed the topic to distract Lonemoon from trying to steal Little Ying once again. “We cannot leave Master alone while she’s like that. I’ll take her with us.”

With that, Yi Qing turned to open a portal and walked right into it.

“Wait! I can carry her in too!” Stupid Chef – if Lonemoon had known this would happen earlier, he would not have put in a good word for him. My daughter…

In a blink of an eye, the three of them found themselves in a familiar place. The only difference was where they saw a space full of planets in the past, all they saw now was a golden tree that almost reached the sky.

Yi Qing glanced at the plane tree, then glanced at the little person in his arms. He was put in a spot. Lonemoon had already found his way around the area and picked a spot to conjure a thick mat. There, he set the area surrounding the mat aside and then waved to Yi Qing. “Come, put Baby Ying here so that she won’t knock into anything.”

Yi Qing walked over and placed the three-year-old Shen Ying on the thick mat. “Master, we have to go and seal that small world as soon as we can, or those baddies might try their hand at taking over our plane again. Please wait for us here.”

Shen Ying stared back at him with that little face and big round eyes of hers. She was clearly confused.

“I already told you – she won’t understand these things,” Lonemoon reminded Yi Qing in a firm tone as he rolled his eyes. Then, he rushed toward Shen Ying with another tempting smile. With an unashamed voice, he said, “Be good, Little Ying. Daddy has something important to attend to. Wait over here for Daddy, alright?”

Baby Ying understood this time. She nodded profusely. “Alright, Little Ying will be good!”

She turned and hugged the little immortal boat that Lonemoon handed him earlier, her behind planted firmly on the mat. She looked back at Lonemoon with an obedient smile.

Dong dong! Lonemoon felt two more arrows pierce right through his heart. He could not stop himself from pulling that precious treasure into his arms.

“Or, Daddy could carry you even as he conjures- Oh!”
