Back For My Daughter

As soon as the tear dripped off Little Jia's eyes Ye Qian shook his head and smiled at her, he gently rubbed the tear off her dimple cheeks and caressed it a little.

Ye Qian was feeling a different sense of joy in his heart as he fed Little Jia.

While Little Jia was feeling she was the happiest girl now, Ye Qian's heart was filled with a different sense of warmness.

He closed his eyes for a while with a serene expression on his face and a calm smile as if he was remembering some of his treasured memories.

About 4670 years after Ye Qian arrived on the Lesser Heaven he strived to increase his power and to fulfil his promise and meet his wife Yuan Meng and his unborn child.

After so many years Ye Qian there was no day when he didn't recall his promise, whenever he thought about his child, a gentle smile would appear on his lips and he would try to carve many idols of little lifelike babies.

After ascending to the Greater Heaven he stumbled upon three pitiful and weak children trying to survive in the cruel world of cultivators.

He adopted them and cared for them while teaching cultivation and making them live with him and travel with him.

Once, while he was on such an adventure with his three disciples.

"Senior Brother look there is such a nice lake there shouldn't we take a small bath."

A girl about 7 years old said as she rode on a Fire Serpent.

The snake was about 2 meters long and had its fangs burning with fire and smoke would come out when it would breathe, and its eyes were like molten lava as it peered around.

The little girl didn't seem to be harmed in the slightest as she continued to sit on the snake's head.

In fact, the snake seemed to be loving it as the girl rode on its head.

"Senior Sister didn't we all just take a bath a few hours ago."

A boy of around 5 years spoke as he sat on a horse which seemed to be a living tree.

In front of the little boy, there was a 10-year-old who was holding the reins of the horse. Well, it was not reins but likely to be the horse's hair.

"Senior Brother please, let's go I want to go there, besides won't Little Sii and Little Phony be thirsty after running for so long."

Hearing her the horse and snake glanced at each other as if saying.

"We are a bit thirsty but don't take our name to do your work."

"Junior Sister, wait for a bit more we will reach to the forest in no time there you can take a bath."

The 10-year-old boy pleaded to the girl while he turned back at her.

  "Humph."

"I will ask Master."

The little girl pouted her small lips and glanced at the man in front of them riding a white horse with a golden horn on its head.

"Little Sii move a little fast please."

She patted the snake's head and asked it to move closer to the man.

"Master, can we go to the lake?"

She asked as she arrived next to the horse.

"Huh, why is it, Little Yin?"

Of course, it was Ye Qian, he smiled at her and asked the horse to stop.

"Umm."

Little Yin didn't know how to tell it to him and mumbled.

"Master, she wants to take a bath."

The boys came to them and told Ye Qian.

They had expected him to be a little annoyed but he smiled and continued.

"Of course we will go since Little Yin asked, and you two she is a girl and girls like to keep themselves neat and tidy so she will ask for such things keep that in mind." 

Saying that he turned to the blue lake and pulled the reins of the horse.

"Neigh"

The horse raised his front legs and ran towards the lake.

"Come the one among you who comes first will get a Spirit Pill."

His voice reverberated.

Hearing spirit pill the snake hissed and crawled to the lake.

A few moments later the first to arrive at the lake was Little Yin she smiled and jumped off the snake's head.

"Master, I don't want the pill, I am happy that you brought me here."

Ye Qian patted her head and sat on the rock near the shore of the lake.

"You all take a bath; I will wait here."

The three nodded and changed their clothes and jumped into the water.

"Junior Sister, Master really cares for you a lot."

In the lake, the three continued to talk.

"Hehe, Master likes Yin, so is Senior and Junior Brother jealous of me hehe?"

Little Yin splashed some water on then as she giggled.

"No, we are not, we also care for you, we have only Master as our family and from the time we are with Master, it seems like he is also alone so we all need to take care of our Master."

Huan Yuan said as he glanced at Ye Qian as he was sitting on the rock and looking around.

"Senior Brother, Little Yin will never make Master worry about me, I will become so strong that I will even take care of Master."

Little Yin said in a determined tone as she glanced at Ye Qian her eyes full of love and admiration.

"There was no one when Little Yin was about to die out of hunger when Master carried me and gave me his Spiritual Energy and even gave me so many High-Grade Fruits and Herbs, while others were asking for him to sell them for millions of Spirit Stones."

A tear dripped from her big eyes as she continued.

"Senior Brother do you know what he said to those people who said to, give those fruits and herbs to them."

"What did he say, Senior Sister?"

"He glared at then and patted my head as I chewed small bites of it. And said 'My child is hungry here and you want me to sell you the food that I brought for her?' That was the first time someone me 'My Child'."

"She glanced at Ye Qian with more love as she recalled what had happened a year ago."

"Crack."

While they were talking Ye Qian heard a breaking sound and turned to his right where there were many shrubs.

He walked to it and saw a little girl covered in rags was shivering from cold as she hid from him and the cold.

She was skinny and there were many injuries on her.

Ye Qian suddenly felt different after seeing the girl and felt a sense of belonging to her as she neared her.

As he neared the girl didn't even have the energy to shout as she crawled back.

"What is your name?"

Ye Qian asked gently as he placed his hand on her head and transfers some energy to her.

"Huh, I don't know?"

The girl let the warm touch and walked out of the bush.

"Ok then from now you are Qing'er as you were found in the Green."

"Qin... Qing'er."

The girl mumbled as she stood near him.
