Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491: Chapter 492 of Wind Cloud Langya List [3/7]

"Where did your immortal power come from?" Wu Tian stared at the chubby girl, getting straight to the point.

The chubby girl trembled, her face filled with surprise. How could this frail-looking young man, who doesn’t seem like some senior expert, tell that I have immortal power? Unbelievable! I was just wondering if he bought me because he shares the Tang Dynasty’s aesthetic of preferring plumper women, or if he just planned to bully me. I never expected this.

"How... how did you know?" the chubby girl asked nervously, her head bowed as she looked intently at Wu Tian, desperate for an answer. She had passed before various Sect Leaders and Family Heads in the past, yet none of them had noticed a thing.

"How I noticed isn’t important," Wu Tian said indifferently. "What’s important now is how you got your immortal power."

"Well..." The chubby girl’s expression grew solemn, unsure if she should tell him. She had been an orphan since childhood, begging to survive in the Underground World. Although she was chubby, she still had a dream: to see the great, wide world. One day, while wandering, she stumbled upon a Taoist temple. She snuck inside and stole a fruit, only to find she had unexpectedly gained a strange ability—one that was sometimes there and sometimes not. She never dared to use this power when others bullied her, afraid she might accidentally kill someone.

"You’re not going to tell me? Then my only option is to perform a Soul Search and find the answer in your memories myself," Wu Tian said lightly, raising his hand.

"What? You can do that, too?" The chubby girl was shocked. A Soul Search? That’s an ability not even Immortal Seekers possess. Could he be connected to that Taoist temple? The thought left her stunned.

After the shock passed, she began to reassess Wu Tian. Upon re-evaluation, the chubby girl realized that the master who had bought her was different from others. His eyes were as vast and profound as the starry sky, making it impossible to decipher his thoughts. His expression was calm and composed as he stood there, looking as if he wouldn’t be bothered even if Mount Tai collapsed or the heavens were torn asunder. He gave off a strangely transcendent and otherworldly aura.

He’s... quite handsome! The chubby girl suddenly felt a bit shy.

"Just tell me. After all, I am your master now. Being a maid here has many advantages. For instance, in the future, you will become far more powerful than anyone from those so-called Sects or families."

With that, Wu Tian fell silent, quietly gazing at the chubby girl before him. Truly a case of not recognizing her good fortune. Her immortal power wasn’t something just anyone could obtain. Ordinary Immortal Seekers had to reach the Tribulation Crossing realm and then successfully survive a Heavenly Tribulation before their Yuan Force would transform into immortal power. Yet this girl did nothing more than eat a single fruit and gained it just like that. What kind of fruit was it? I’m confident I can train her into an expert in just a few days. Getting a maid with immortal power for free... if word of this got out, it would probably blind everyone in the Underground World.

After a moment, the chubby girl took another deep breath and said cautiously, "If... if you can make me an expert so I won’t be bullied anymore, and—of course—if you’ll keep me well-fed, then... then I’ll be your maid for life."

To her, just being able to eat her fill every day was an unimaginable luxury. She knew that since Wu Tian had bought her, she now belonged to him, but if she had the chance to set conditions, she was definitely going to take it! She desperately wanted to become stronger. For years, she had been constantly bullied and had tasted the full bitterness of the Mortal Realm. Sometimes, she really wanted to confront them and ask, "We’re all human, so does bullying me make you feel superior? The sense of achievement you get from it is pitifully fake. Can you really deceive yourselves with it?" She thought she would spend her whole life in back alleys, but meeting Wu Tian gave her hope.

"Fine!" Wu Tian nodded. He had been waiting for her to say just that. This girl has no head for business; she actually thinks she’s getting the better end of the deal!

Ever since humanity consciously began exploring the Earth’s composition, attempts to probe its structure have never ceased. Thanks to scientific progress, it’s known that the Earth, from the inside out, consists of a solid inner core, a liquid outer core, the mantle, and the crust. So, is the Underground World the absolute deepest layer? Then, could there be something even deeper still? When I first saw the Underground World, I thought this had to be it. But according to her, she fell into a deep Abyss and fell for an unknown amount of time before arriving at that Taoist temple.

This is just like the situation with the Underground World. Everyone assumes it’s the deepest layer, so no one bothers to search for anything deeper.
