Divine War Pill Emperor

The place where Jiang Chen and the others were staying wasn’t far from Celestial Water Street, where Chenxi Pavilion was located.

They were staying in a large, private courtyard.

The courtyard house had seven or eight rooms.

In addition to Xiao Jun, Mr. Jiao, and the other members of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen also had his own room.

He brought Little Xixi into the courtyard.

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao both came out to greet them.

"Young Master, how did you go out for a bit and come back with a little girl?"

They stared in surprise at the little girl Jiang Chen had brought with him.

At that moment, a very well-behaved Little Xixi was clinging to Jiang Chen’s neck, eyeing Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao warily.

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Young Master, she couldn’t be... your own daughter, could she?"

The two exchanged strange glances. ’Could it be that the Young Master has a lover here in Xingyuan City? And even had a daughter with her?’

Jiang Chen shot them a glare.

"Don’t be ridiculous. I just ran into her on the street. She’s probably just some family’s lost child."

The words had barely left his mouth when Little Xixi immediately piped up, "Daddy, you are my daddy."

At that, Jiang Chen nearly tripped and fell flat on his face.

’Little Xixi really wasn’t giving him any way to save face.’

This convinced Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao that the little girl was, in fact, Jiang Chen’s illegitimate daughter.

Feeling like Little Xixi was stuck to him like glue, Jiang Chen set her down and said to Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao, "Tomorrow, find her parents and send her back."

"Don’t let her cause me any more trouble."

He was getting a headache. Gaining a daughter out of the blue was not something to celebrate.

So, he decided to just pass the buck to Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao.

Only then did Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao realize Jiang Chen wasn’t joking—she really wasn’t his child.

Nodding, Xiao Jun stepped forward to take Little Xixi from him.

But Little Xixi immediately refused.

"No, I don’t want to go with them."

"Daddy, don’t leave Little Xixi behind!"

As she spoke, she quickly ran over, wrapped both arms tightly around Jiang Chen’s leg, and looked up at him with pitiful eyes as tears began to stream down her face.

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao froze on the spot, unsure whether they should move or stay put.

Even Jiang Chen felt his face darken with exasperation.

He looked at Little Xixi.

’This Little Xixi only acknowledges him, and insists on calling him Daddy no matter what.’

’This was becoming a massive headache.’

"Young Master, maybe you should take care of her after all."

In the end, Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao shot Jiang Chen a strange smile, then decisively turned tail and fled.

Jiang Chen was absolutely furious.

He looked down at Little Xixi.

Little Xixi looked up at him pitifully.

To be honest, Little Xixi was incredibly cute and endearing. Anyone who saw her would instantly take a liking to her.

With her two spunky pigtails, clear eyes, cute nose, and plump pink lips, she was the very picture of an adorable little girl that could charm anyone.

’But... but she really isn’t his daughter.’

He could swear to the heavens that he had just been trying to help out of the kindness of his heart, and in return, he’d picked up a burden he couldn’t get rid of.

Taking several deep breaths, Jiang Chen suppressed his feelings of indignation. ’In fact, he felt utterly wronged. Why did I have to be so nice?’

"Fine. If you’re going to follow Daddy, you have to listen to me."

Left with no other choice, Jiang Chen decided to compromise. ’Could he really stay angry at such an adorable little thing? It wasn’t worth it.’

With that, he turned and walked toward his room.

Little Xixi followed close behind, looking terrified that Jiang Chen might abandon her.

Back in his room, Little Xixi immediately asked, "Daddy, would you like some water?"

"Xixi can pour it for you."

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Little Xixi, dressed in her little white skirt, had already found the water pitcher in his room. With her petite frame, she hugged the pitcher and poured him a cup of water.

After pouring, she carried the cup over to Jiang Chen.

"Daddy, have some water."

Jiang Chen sighed.

He took the water from Little Xixi.

’Little Xixi was incredibly smart.’

’But if she was this clever, she shouldn’t have been unable to find her way home.’

’Now, this was a huge problem.’

He looked at the well-behaved Little Xixi, who pointed at a chair and said, "Daddy, I want to sit on the chair and talk with you."

Jiang Chen had just taken a sip of water. He set the cup down, picked up Little Xixi, and placed her on the chair.

She was too small to climb up onto it herself.

’He really wanted to say, ’You troublesome little imp.’’

’It was so frustrating.’

Finally, after getting Little Xixi settled in the chair, Jiang Chen stared at her intently.

"Little Xixi, where did you come from?"

He was starting to get curious about this little girl.

’There’s no such thing as a chance encounter. Little Xixi didn’t seem like an ordinary little girl.’

And yet, no matter how he looked at her, she seemed like a perfectly ordinary little girl.

"I’m Daddy’s Little Xixi!"

"Daddy, do you not want Little Xixi anymore?"

Little Xixi’s bright eyes stared intently at Jiang Chen.

At the same time, she looked like she was ready to burst into tears.

Jiang Chen’s head throbbed.

"No, that’s not it. Why are you following me?"

"Tell me, what are you after?"

He began interrogating a three-year-old girl, suspecting she had some ulterior motive.

Little Xixi instantly burst into aggrieved tears, which started to drip down her cheeks. DRIP. DROP.

"Daddy doesn’t want Xixi anymore..."

"WAAAH... WAH WAH WAH..."

"Xixi’s so sad..."

Cold sweat beaded on Jiang Chen’s forehead.

’An act. Just keep putting on your little show.’

He ignored her.

Sure enough, after a moment, Little Xixi stopped crying and asked plaintively, "Daddy, why aren’t you trying to comfort Xixi?"

"Isn’t Xixi cute?"

In short, Jiang Chen realized he was completely incapable of shaking off this troublesome Little Xixi.

He was utterly powerless against her.

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow I’ll find your family and send you home."

Jiang Chen played his final card. He still needed to do his Cultivation tonight.

Little Xixi blinked a few times, thinking it over.

"Xixi won’t make any more trouble. Daddy, please don’t abandon Xixi, okay?"

Jiang Chen stood up, ignored her, and sat down on his bed.

He prepared to close his eyes and begin his Cultivation.

Little Xixi immediately clambered down from the chair.

She came to the side of the bed.

"Daddy, Xixi wants to sleep with Daddy."

Utterly exasperated, Jiang Chen lifted Little Xixi onto the bed.

He said sternly, "Sleep on your own side. Don’t disturb me."

Little Xixi said plaintively, "Daddy, why are you being so mean?"

"But I understand. Xixi won’t disturb Daddy."

Then, Little Xixi pulled the blanket over, tucked herself in very obediently, and lay down. She occasionally peeked to see if Jiang Chen was still there. Once she was sure he wasn’t going to leave, she closed her eyes and peacefully fell asleep.

Jiang Chen secretly cracked open one eye and saw that Little Xixi had actually fallen fast asleep.

He could even hear her soft little snores.

This daughter he had picked up for free truly left Jiang Chen at a complete loss.

Of course, he was still determined to send her away tomorrow.

After all, she really wasn’t his daughter.

But as he looked at her, he had to admit, ’She is pretty cute when she’s sleeping.’
