Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Chapter 376: The Legacy of Emperor Wu of Han

Wu Tian worked for the Boundless Corporation, completely unaware that on this day, two more people had emerged from the Underworld—one old, one young.

"Dad, this is my first time on the surface. I wonder if the women here are more beautiful than those in the Underworld?" The young man, who appeared to be in his twenties, had a flippant look in his eyes. He brazenly scanned the legs of women in shorts and skirts on the street, sometimes even fixating on a woman’s full chest.

"Shut up. We Immortal Seekers pursue Cultivation, not women," his father, who looked to be in his forties, immediately scolded.

In truth, their ages were not as simple as they appeared. The older man was already 521 years old. As for the young man, he was over three hundred. However, Immortal Seekers often spent a century at a time in secluded Cultivation, so they made little progress in understanding the ways of the world.

"No, Dad, look at that woman!" Dongfang Jiu suddenly called out, pointing at a woman buying groceries.

Dongfang Fengyun could not help but look. He saw a lady whose beauty was like a painting. She seemed to radiate a spiritual aura. With long hair cascading over her shoulders, she moved as if she didn’t belong in the mundane world.

All of a sudden, Dongfang Fengyun recalled a line from Zhuangzi’s "Free and Easy Wandering": "On the faraway Mount Gushe there lives a divine being, whose skin is like ice and snow, and who is as graceful as a maiden. She does not eat the five grains, but inhales the wind and drinks the dew. She climbs upon the clouds, rides a flying dragon, and wanders beyond the four seas. By concentrating her spirit, she can protect creatures from sickness and ensure the harvest is plentiful."

Surely this was the kind of woman the text described?

Her creamy skin was truly enviable.

And this woman was none other than Qin Yuhan.

"This woman... you must have her," Dongfang Fengyun said suddenly.

"Dad, haven’t you always been against me indulging in women? Haven’t you always told me to focus on my Cultivation?" Dongfang Jiu asked, confused.

"This woman is not like the others," Dongfang Fengyun said, taking a sharp breath. "I can’t discern her physique, but it is undoubtedly a superior one. Perhaps it is the very kind that can lead to immortality, the one described in the incomplete Cultivation texts we Immortal Seekers have been searching for. I don’t hold out much hope for you, but if you have a child with this woman, that grandchild of mine will surely achieve greatness in Cultivation."

"Really?" Dongfang Jiu was overjoyed.

Dongfang Fengyun nodded.

"Good, I’ll go take her away right now..." Dongfang Jiu started to move forward.

Dongfang Fengyun grabbed him and said coldly, "What are you doing? We are from the Eastern Taizhong Palace. Your grandfather—my father—is an Elder of the Eastern Taizhong Palace. Among Immortal Seekers, we are considered a reputable sect. How could we commit such an act of abduction? Take a photo. Then we’ll go to Longjing and investigate her background thoroughly."

Dongfang Jiu nodded. This was the way of the Eastern Taizhong Palace. But if this woman’s background wasn’t simple, wouldn’t he miss out on this ’swan meat’?

"Don’t worry," Dongfang Fengyun comforted his son. "Have you ever heard the sayings? What is the King’s Way? If your opponent misbehaves, you crush them."

"What is the Hegemon’s Way? Even if they behave, you crush them anyway."

"What is the Heavenly Dao? It decrees, ’Dear, today it’s your turn to be crushed.’"

"What is the Imperial Path? You don’t want to be crushed, but you will be."

"And the Confucian Way? You inform them that you’re about to crush them before you do."

Dongfang Fengyun smiled. "Do you understand now?"

Dongfang Jiu was thrilled. "I understand! I completely understand!"

「By evening」

Dongfang Fengyun and Dongfang Jiu had arrived in Longjing, where they planned to meet the Lord of the Four Seas.
