Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Chapter 397 The Pathetic Kunpeng [5/5]

The following week was calm and uneventful. The Chief Minister of Fusang had not informed the Emperor of Fusang about his plan; he was waiting for the public storm to pass. A week later, the fervor over the battle between the Martial Emperor of Dragon Country and the Sword Saint of Fusang had finally subsided.

The Chief Minister was ready to act. Aside from the Dragon Country citizens of Fusang descent under his command, he also had operatives from the United States of America. He had not forgotten the year the US dropped an atomic bomb on Light Island. This time, he planned to deploy some of the Americans. That way, when Wu Tian and the Dragon Country authorities discovered anything, most of the blame could be pushed onto the United States. The Chief Minister had run the plan through a computer simulation, ensuring it was foolproof. The probability of success was ninety-one percent.

「On this day, a Sunday.」

The little one was resting at home, occasionally teasing Little Kirin and Little Phoenix. As for the evil fish? She no longer cared about it, deciding to give it the cold shoulder for a few days to see if it would behave.

"Are you free?" Xia Qian called.

"I am," Wu Tian responded, watching a battle royale livestream on the LCD TV.

"I’d like to have the little one come shoot the commercial this afternoon. You haven’t forgotten, have you? I’m talking about the children’s skincare endorsement."

"I remember, I remember," Wu Tian said, glancing at the little one, who was feeding the evil fish nearby.

"Is she willing to go?" Xia Qian asked.

Wu Tian nodded. "Don’t worry, I asked her. She’s willing."

"That’s great! I won’t keep you then. See you this afternoon!"

Xia Qian’s voice was charming, sweet, youthful, and honeyed; it was exceptionally pleasant to the ear. Of course, to Wu Tian, it was nothing special. After all, the most beautiful voice in all the heavens belonged to the Empress. But so what? I... I already have a wife.

Wu Tian put down his phone. Qin Yuhan guessed, "Was that Director Xia?"

Wu Tian nodded. "Yeah. Didn’t I tell you? She wants to use my elixir to create a children’s skincare line. They’re shooting the commercial this afternoon and asked me to bring the little one over."

"I’m going too," Qin Yuhan said coolly.

In that instant, Wu Tian felt his wife’s aura soar to an infinite magnitude.

"Do you agree?" Qin Yuhan asked calmly.

Could I say no? Wu Tian smiled. He suddenly found this feeling quite marvelous.

It made him think of something: the realm above Immortal Emperor. Was there another realm beyond it? Some said there wasn’t, that not even the Creation Martial Emperor had succeeded in reaching it. But Wu Tian felt there should be. Why hadn’t the past Immortal Emperors succeeded? Was it because they cared only for power and forgot about their families? Could the warmth of a family be the key?

Wu Tian considered it for a moment before dropping the issue. He was still on Earth. Why worry about matters of the Immortal Emperor realm?

"Of course you can go," Wu Tian said with a smile.

Qin Yuhan let out a sigh of relief. She had been nervous, too. If Wu Tian had refused, what could she have done? She had never been so anxious before. Fortunately, Wu Tian’s reply delighted her.

In short, the current Kunpeng was pathetically weak. Only its potential was worth looking forward to.

「The United States of America also had companies and business dealings in Dragon Country.」

At this moment, a dozen Americans from a very famous advertising team had entered the herbal medicine company. They had come hoping that the company would let them handle the advertisement shoot for the new children’s skincare product.

Xia Qian was hesitant because she had already reached an agreement with another team.

One of the Americans said in a very gentlemanly tone, "How about this? Let both our teams shoot at the same time. You can choose the better of the two to work with you. How does that sound?"

Xia Qian looked toward the other team she had already hired—an advertising team from Korea.

Jin Haoxuan nodded and said, "Alright, it’s a deal. Our Korean advertisements are in no way inferior to yours. In this year’s World Cup, we Koreans even defeated the German Iron Wolf team! This is a lucky year for us. You Americans can just wait to lose."

"Fine," Xia Qian stated coolly. "It’s decided. I will choose to collaborate with the stronger of your two teams."

As Xia Qian and the Korean advertising team left to make their preparations, the expressions of the Americans turned cold and fierce.

Grinding his teeth, one of them, Fuman, said, "The target... is a four-year-old child! Let me tell you all first, any operation has a chance of failure. If we fail this time and get caught, remember: before you kill yourselves, you are to say that the United States of America ordered us to do it. Understood?"

"Yes, Chief!" the team members behind him nodded in unison. They didn’t think for a second that an operation to capture a small child could possibly fail.
