12: The future me, die young?
The next day.
Mo Fan woke up as soon as the sky began to lighten.
After a quick wash, he prepared breakfast.
"A Special Physique that only Awakened yesterday?
"Having the 'Emperors Talent'... that might not be a good sign..."
Mo Fan sighed with emotion, glancing at his daughter's room.
After confirming yesterday that his daughter possessed the Emperors Talent, Mo Fan started overthinking and didn't sleep well all night.
Finally, he sighed, "As long as I don't go around telling everyone my daughter has the Emperors Talent, nothing should happen, right?"
Half an hour later.
Mo Yingying, nibbling on corn, looked strangely at her father. "Dad, did you not sleep well? Why are your dark circles so heavy?"
Mo Fan shook his head, looked seriously at his daughter, and spoke earnestly.
"You must remember to be humble. No matter how good your Talent is, how strong your power is, or how great your Opportunity is, you must never be arrogant. You must be careful everywhere and live a low-profile life. Do you understand?"
"Huh?" Mo Yingying was slightly confused.
Why was Dad talking nonsense?
"Just remember it. Hurry up and eat. I'll take you to the mall to buy some things later." Mo Fan stopped talking and focused on eating... As they walked out of the Residential Area, the rain that had fallen all night finally stopped.
Sunlight shone through the clouds and mist, refracting brilliant colors, and the air was hazy.
Mo Fan planned to take Yingying to purchase some daily necessities.
At least they needed to buy several sets of clothes and shoes.
He had been too busy before, so this matter was delayed.
Even though the girl got money yesterday, she only focused on buying groceries for Mo Fan and didn't buy anything for herself. She had been wearing the same outfit for two days.
"Dad, there's a rainbow!" Mo Yingying pointed at the rainbow in the sky, full of joy.
"It truly is. It's quite beautiful." Mo Fan glanced at the rainbow in the sky and hailed a taxi casually.
"Let's go. We're going to the mall to buy you some daily necessities."
"Mhm." Mo Yingying nodded and got into the car.
"Oh right, I'm going to work at Yuxu Academy tomorrow, so I can't be with you all the time. When you're home alone, be careful and remember to call me if anything happens," Mo Fan instructed.
"I know, Dad, don't worry. I can take care of myself," Mo Yingying said seriously.
"That's good." Mo Fan nodded... Forty minutes later.
The two arrived at the mall.
Mo Yingying headed straight for the clothing section.
Since she had suddenly Transmigrated, she hadn't brought anything with her and truly needed to buy several outfits.
Mo Fan followed with a smile.
When checking out, Mo Fan didn't let Mo Yingying pay, quickly swiping his own card instead.
Mo Fan intended for Mo Yingying to keep the five hundred thousand yuan for herself.
Naturally, when buying clothes for his daughter, he couldn't choose cheap ones.
A few sets cost over ten thousand yuan.
Mo Fan didn't feel distressed and swiped the card without batting an eye.
In fact, when his unreliable father mysteriously disappeared three years ago, he left him a bank card with a full twenty million yuan.
If he hadn't been obsessed with Martial Dao these past two years and bought many Medicinal Ingredients to aid his Cultivation, the interest generated by those twenty million every year would have been enough for him to live on.
The appliances were old because his father was nostalgic and couldn't bear to replace them.
Mo Fan himself didn't care.
As long as they worked.
Whether they were old or not didn't matter.
As for the broken TV?
Who watches TV anyway?
Of course, the Medicinal Ingredients that aided Cultivation were too expensive. After two or three years, only twenty or thirty thousand yuan were left of the twenty million.
But it didn't matter. Once he officially became a Utility Disciple at Yuxu Academy, he would receive a generous monthly salary, so he wouldn't lack money.
"Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful. You're very fortunate." The cashier handed the card back to Mo Fan, and her eyes lit up when she saw Mo Yingying carrying the shopping bags.
She was too beautiful!
She had never seen such a beautiful woman.
That demeanor was simply peerless!
She even felt that if she looked a few more times, she might change her orientation.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is my Dad."
"Dad, let's go buy daily necessities."
Mo Yingying shot the cashier a look and pulled Mo Fan toward the daily necessities section upstairs.
"Uh—" The cashier stared blankly at the backs of the father and daughter... Mo Yingying dragged Mo Fan around the mall, wandering from the first floor to the fifth, and from east to west.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Mo Fan felt mentally exhausted, experiencing the pain of shopping with a girl for the first time.
But even so, he was happy about it.
After all, this was his daughter.
Of course, shopping for so long brought some trouble.
Mo Yingying's beauty was striking, her demeanor unparalleled, like a Fairy stepped out of a myth, and her looks surpassed those of anime characters.
One hundred percent head-turning rate!
Under these circumstances, a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered. Guys occasionally came up to ask for contact information, and girls came up to ask for photos.
Mo Fan's face darkened, and he chased all the guys away.
Mo Yingying accepted some requests from girls for photos, but she refused to give out any contact information.
She directly pulled Mo Fan forward and loudly announced that regardless of gender, anyone who wanted her contact information had to first pass her father's test.
This statement scared the eager onlookers into breaking out in a cold sweat, and they left without looking back.
Where did such a young father come from?
They must be fooling ghosts!
...Coming out of the mall with their purchases, the sun was high in the sky, and the temperature was rising rapidly.
"Dad, I want ice cream." Mo Yingying pointed at the dessert shop next to the mall, her eyes shining.
"Alright." Mo Fan nodded.
Jiangcheng in September was excessively hot, with temperatures well over thirty degrees.
Eating ice cream on such a hot day was pure bliss.
"Boss, two ice creams, please."
"Second item half price. Handsome, what flavor ice cream would you like?"
"What flavor do you want to eat?" Mo Fan asked his daughter.
"I want durian flavor~" Mo Yingying said, squinting her eyes.
Mo Fan: "?"
In the end, Mo Fan bought a vanilla-flavored ice cream and a durian-flavored ice cream.
Watching Mo Yingying happily eating the durian-flavored ice cream, Mo Fan had a head full of black lines.
Why didn't this girl take after her father?
Mo Fan wouldn't touch durian at all.
Was that stuff actually edible?
Walking along the road, eating ice cream, Mo Fan casually spoke.
"Oh right, let me ask you about your future.
"Will I be powerful later on?
"Will I achieve fame and success?
"Will I master Peerless Martial Arts?
"Will I be unrivaled under heaven?"
Mo Yingying paused, bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"The future you is indeed famous throughout the world, unrivaled in the Martial Dao, but you will die young—"
"Huh?" Mo Fan froze in place. *Plop*, the ice cream in his hand fell to the ground.
"Dying Young?" he asked, his face full of disbelief.
Mo Yingying shook her head: "Handsome and Dashing."
Mo Fan clenched his fist, glared at his daughter, and said, "Don't stop halfway through your sentence! I think you want to taste the Iron Fist of Love!"
Dying Young was too terrifying!
He was almost scared into a heart attack just now!
"Just kidding! It's getting late, let's go back~" Mo Yingying raised her head, winked mischievously, and turned around to hail a taxi.
