187: Xiao Hei: Something is wrong, your daughter is a time traveler!

"Dad, come over here quickly. Let me introduce you to someone. This is Old—"

Sensing Mo Fan's aura, Mo Yingying stood up, her face full of excitement.

However, halfway through her sentence, she immediately realized her mistake, quickly shut her mouth, and froze on the spot.

Mo Fan frowned as he looked at her.

There are so many people here.

What on earth are you saying?

Meanwhile, Chu Qian, who had just finished Cultivating, was filled with confusion, standing there stunned as if she had crashed.

At this moment, only one sentence echoed in her mind: What did Mo Yingying just call Mo Fan?

Did I... mishear?

Mo Yingying gasped, immediately came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "I spoke too quickly and made a mistake. Let me try again!"

"Old Mo, come here quickly. Let me introduce you properly—"

"This is Old Xu, my good sister. Yes, yes, good sister!" Mo Yingying said in a flash of inspiration.

Mo Fan frowned, "You two knew each other before?"

"We, we met when you entered the Secret Realm." After looking at Mo Fan earnestly for a long time, Xu Jing took over the conversation.

"Uh, haven't you only known each other for two months? How did you get so close?" Mo Fan found it unbelievable.

Given Xu Jing's slow-to-warm-up personality, he couldn't believe that his daughter could hit it off with her so quickly.

"Old Mo, you don't understand. Girls' friendships are just like that. Besides, it's as if we knew each other in a past life; we hit it off immediately, like family!" Mo Yingying said with a smile.

Mo Fan: "..."

It was getting more and more absurd.

Just then, Mo Yingying's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Dad, I have a huge surprise to tell you, but it's not convenient to say it now. I'll tell you slowly when we get back to Chixia Peak later!"

Even through telepathic transmission, Mo Yingying was very excited right now, and her mental fluctuation was trembling slightly.

"Are you talking about those ten thousand Origin Stones? I've already returned to the Immortal Cave once, and it was indeed a big surprise."

Focusing his mind, Mo Fan kept a straight face and continued the transmission:

"Don't do this in the future. I don't lack Origin Stones right now. You don't need to take risks to collect them for me. Regardless, the Secret Realm is very dangerous."

"I know, but Dad, the surprise I'm talking about isn't this one. It's a surprise a hundred or a thousand times bigger than this. I guarantee it will scare you later!" Mo Yingying said mysteriously.

"Then what is it?" Mo Fan was extremely astonished.

This girl wouldn't be trying to tell me that Xu Jing is my Future Wife, would she?

No way!

Absolutely no way!

He had seen Xu Jing's pendant!

It was completely different from the jade sword!

"Hahaha, you'll know later!" Mo Yingying ended the transmission and continued chatting and laughing with Xu Jing.

Mo Fan smiled and couldn't be bothered to guess anymore.

"Just let things take their course."

While thinking, he took some snacks out of the system space, handed them to the two, and called Chu Qian, who was nearby, to come over and eat together.

"Old Mo, is your storage space a treasure bag? How come you have everything?"

Looking at the various snacks piling up into a small hill in front of her, Mo Yingying's eyes went straight.

So that's how storage space is used!

"Th-thank you." Xu Jing lowered her head to thank him, remaining silent for a moment.

For some reason, when she was alone with Mo Fan or Mo Yingying, she felt very comfortable.

But today, when the three of them were together, she felt inexplicably awkward, with an indescribable feeling.

"Try these shrimp chips; they taste good. You should like them." Mo Fan handed his daughter a bag of shrimp chips.

"Thank you, Old Mo. This was my favorite thing to eat when I was little!" Mo Yingying's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the shrimp chips.

"You had this stuff when you were little?" Mo Fan was surprised.

"Yes, yes, it's crunchy and especially delicious~" Mo Yingying hurriedly opened the package and started eating with an expression of enjoyment.

"Not bad, it's the taste of my childhood!"

Mo Fan: "..."

Meanwhile, Chu Qian, who had almost been scared out of her wits, smelled the aroma, finally came back to her senses, and hurried over.

"Wow, Junior Brother is finally back. We get to enjoy good food again!" Chu Qian said happily.

"Haha, Senior Sister, this is your favorite spicy crawfish!" Mo Fan handed Chu Qian a food box.

"Wow, wow, wow, it smells so good, my mouth is watering!" Chu Qian's eyes lit up. She hurried to take the food box, opened the lid, and started eating without caring about her image.

Seeing this, Mo Fan smiled and asked casually, "By the way, Senior Sister, has the Elder returned yet?"

He hadn't sensed Liu Xiyan's aura on Hidden Sword Mountain.

"She came back for a while, but soon went out again. Mmm, it's so spicy—"

Chu Qian ate a shrimp tail and continued, "Master seems to have said she needs to go out for a few days to take care of something and won't be back for a while."

"I see." Mo Fan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Xiyan going out was most likely to find Materials for refining the condensing origin pill.

"The Elder is still reliable; she just returned and is already out busy again—" Mo Fan shook his head.

"Old Mo, I want to drink iced cola~" After finishing a bag of shrimp chips, Mo Yingying raised her hand like a child.

Mo Fan covered his forehead and took a bottle of iced cola from the system space to hand to her.

"Thank you, Old Mo!" Mo Yingying smiled happily, her eyes squinting into crescent shapes.

Meanwhile, Xu Jing also suddenly looked at Mo Fan and said cautiously, "Re-report..."

"What is it?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.

"Old Mo, I want to drink iced cola too." After speaking, she also hurriedly raised her hand.

Mo Fan: "?"

...

The group chatted while eating, and soon the pile of snacks was finished.

"I'm so full—" Mo Yingying stood up and lazily stretched her limbs.

"Old Mo, it's getting late. Shall we go back to Chixia Peak now?"

Mo Fan glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Alright."

"Old Xu, Old Mo and I are heading back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow~" Mo Yingying said to Xu Jing with a smile.

"O-okay, see you tomorrow." Xu Jing nodded.

"See you tomorrow!" Mo Yingying waved vigorously, turned around, and flew through the air towards Chixia Peak.

"Junior Sister Mo is too much of a Prodigy. At such a young age, her cultivation has already entered Heaven's Mandate, allowing her to fly through the air—" Chu Qian stared blankly at Mo Yingying's departing silhouette.

Mo Fan smiled and said to Xu Jing, "See you tomorrow."

"Mm, see you tomorrow." Xu Jing bowed her head slightly.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister. I'll come by tomorrow to check on your Guiyuan Sword Canon cultivation." After greeting Chu Qian, Mo Fan turned and flew off on his sword towards Chixia Peak.

"Mmm, Junior Brother is still more normal—" Chu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

But quickly, she was stunned and shook her head, "No, no, Junior Brother seems to have entered Transcendent long ago. He is not even twenty years old this year; he is also quite a Prodigy—"

"Hiss, the talent of the Mo family is too terrifying!"

"Hea-Heaven's Mandate." Xu Jing said suddenly.

"Jingjing, what did you say?" Chu Qian asked, puzzled.

"Mo Fan, Heaven's Mandate." Xu Jing said.

"Ah?" Chu Qian was confused, "Has Junior Brother also entered Heaven's Mandate?"

She found it hard to believe.

"Should be, he has." Xu Jing nodded.

"Hiss, the Mo family is really too absurd!"

Sensing her own meager cultivation aura, Chu Qian couldn't help but start questioning her life.

"We are all human, so why is the gap so big?"

"Mo, Mo Fan said..."

"What did he say?"

"The gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and dogs." Xu Jing said.

Chu Qian: "???"

"So, so reasonable!"

...

Chixia Peak.

As soon as Mo Fan landed in front of the Immortal Cave, he saw Mo Yingying petting a cat.

Seeing Mo Fan appear, Mo Yingying hurriedly said, "Dad, look quickly. This chubby Little Black Cat is so cute. I don't know which Senior Sister brought it to Chixia Peak."

As she spoke, she reached out and patted the Little Black Cat's round belly twice, causing a "duang, duang" sound.

"It feels so good~" She was overjoyed and picked up the Little Black Cat, which had a resentful expression.

Mo Fan: "..."

"Let's go inside to talk."

"Mm, okay." Mo Yingying nodded, held Little Black, passed through the Magic Array, and entered the Immortal Cave.

"Wow, its fur is so soft, it feels as comfortable as silk. It must be very comfortable to hold while sleeping. Dad, I want to take it home..."

Hearing this, Little Black couldn't take it anymore. It jumped out of Mo Yingying's arms in a flash, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, saying, "Little girl, This Cat advises you not to go too far!"

As soon as Little Black spoke, the smile on Mo Yingying's face froze. She looked at Little Black in disbelief, "Y-you, you can talk?"

"Nonsense? Do you not understand Meow-speak?" Little Black rolled its eyes at her.

"Y-you are clearly speaking human language!"

"Uh? You must have misheard. Meow, meow, meow." Little Black meowed a few times, jumped onto Mo Fan's shoulder to groom its fur, and ignored Mo Yingying.

Mo Yingying: "???"

"D-Dad—" Mo Yingying was completely distressed, "It seems to be a Yao Beast...?"

Mo Fan smiled helplessly, rubbed Little Black's head, and explained, "Its name is Little Black. I brought it out from the Secret Realm."

Focusing his mind slightly, Mo Fan gave his daughter a rough explanation of Little Black's situation.

After listening, Mo Yingying widened her eyes and gasped, "I knew it! I kept feeling like someone was following me last time. So it was you?"

"Little girl, don't misunderstand. This Cat saw that you were a bit unique and was curious, so I just followed you for a while. I am definitely not a stalker." Little Black said righteously.

"You're lying! You clearly followed me for nearly two months!" Mo Yingying said through gritted teeth.

She remembered that as soon as she entered the Secret Realm, that strange feeling appeared.

At first, she thought it was the Dao Protector arranged by the academy watching her, so she didn't pay it any mind.

When she was about to leave the Secret Realm, she realized something was wrong.

However, because nothing unexpected happened, she didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Eh? Little girl, you really are special. You were actually able to detect This Cat's presence?" Little Black was also full of surprise.

With its stealth talent, under normal circumstances, Mo Yingying shouldn't have noticed anything at all.

"That's right, I'm from the Mo family Bloodline after all. A mere little monster, I can see through it at a glance." Mo Yingying said proudly.

Hearing this, Little Black was stunned and began to ponder.

Combining this with how Mo Yingying addressed Mo Fan, it finally realized something was wrong. It stared blankly at Mo Fan and said cautiously:

"So she really is your daughter?"

It had felt that the two had a Bloodline connection before and had this suspicion in its mind.

But it didn't expect...

Mo Fan scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He had also carefully considered this matter.

Little Black had followed him out of the Secret Realm, so it would at least be living with him for the near future.

In this way, it would discover the truth sooner or later.

Therefore, he had already prepared an explanation.

After all, it was relatively easy to fool a cat.

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and finally said, "This is a long story. You can understand it as us being very close relatives.

"Although our ages aren't that different, my seniority is higher than hers. And since she hasn't seen her parents since she was young, she is used to—"

However, before Mo Fan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Little Black.

It seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Its fur stood on end, it took a deep breath, and said with a horrified face, "So she is a Transmigrator! Oh no, this is bad, meow!"
