Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 270 Who’s Afraid of Whom

"No, we’re not here to challenge you." Wu Fa was fond of children, especially little girls. As he looked at the little one before him, his usually stern face softened. Wang Cai felt the same way.

At the same time, they both noticed that there was something extraordinary about the child. She was tiny, yet she seemed to have a presence of qi about her. Of course, neither Wu Fa nor Wang Cai could tell the exact extent of her development. Still, Wu Fa didn’t believe a child could be all that formidable. What truly concerned them was the whereabouts of the expert who had emitted that powerful aura just a moment ago.

"Little one, let me ask you, was there someone here just now who left?" Wu Fa asked in a gentle tone.

The little girl wasn’t a fool. Back in kindergarten, her ’Sister Mo’ had warned her never to fall for it if a stranger tried to lure her away. Besides her teacher, both her mother and grandfather had repeated this to her countless times. If she couldn’t even remember that, wouldn’t she be an idiot?

The little girl remained silent, refusing to be tricked. Seeing that she wasn’t talking, Wu Fa’s brow furrowed. "Little friend, why aren’t you answering me?"

Beside him, Wang Cai considered for a moment before whispering, "Wu Fa, children nowadays need to be coaxed before they’ll talk."

Wu Fa was taken aback but felt his wife made a good point. Kids these days all seemed to need some incentive before they would do anything.

How different it was from his own time! Back then, his parents didn’t have to give him anything; if they told him to sweep the floor, he just went and did it. Besides, this child must come from a prominent family. Otherwise, how could she possess qi at such a young age?

After some thought, Wu Fa smiled cheerfully. "Little friend, how about you answer my question? I’ll buy you some candy."

The little one couldn’t stand it any longer. She gave him a sidelong glance with her large eyes and said, "Old man, what era do you think this is? Trying to trick kids with candy? That’s completely outdated. Let me tell you, it has zero effect on me."

"How can that be? Don’t kids eat candy anymore?" Wu Fa was bewildered. He remembered how getting candy as a child was the greatest joy imaginable. His own daughter loved candy, too; whenever she cried, a piece of candy would quiet her immediately. Candy... how could it be outdated?

In his life, Wu Fa had two great loves: the Martial Path and candy. Even now, though he was old, he always carried a few pieces in his pocket every day. He would never admit to being old.

"So, when you want to ask a child something, you’d better be ready with something good, like diamonds or crystals," the little girl said pointedly. "The more of those things, the better. That’s when kids will answer your questions. If you don’t have gifts like that and you’re not going to fight me, then you should just leave. You’re not welcome here."

So what if you’re an adult? So what if I’m a child? Who says adults are always stronger than children? You even tried to trick me with candy to get me to talk about my dad. Not a chance!

The little girl was fearless.

"You... you..." Wu Fa, known by the nickname War God, had never been spoken to so boldly, much less been lectured by anyone. To think he would be talked down to by a child today.

He was about to explode with anger. Heavens, whose unruly brat is this! Whoever has her for a granddaughter is truly down on their luck, miserable to the core.

"You what? If you have nothing else to say, then leave," the girl said dismissively. She was getting hungry and couldn’t be bothered with this man anymore. He couldn’t out-talk her, and he wouldn’t fight! What a boring person!

Wu Fa was furious. At that moment, the old man and the young girl, complete strangers, were locked in a staring contest. Wu Fa’s gaze was sharp enough to make tigers and lions recoil, but the little girl didn’t flinch.

Wu Fa knew he had to do something, but how could he possibly bring himself to fight such a small child, especially in a restaurant?

Instead, he walked over, sat down, and eyed a plate of barbecue. "How about this: whoever grabs it first wins."

Wu Fa wanted to show this little squirt that there was always someone better out there.

Whose child was this? How could she be so incredibly skilled?
