Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Chapter 698 Monkey Claims to be the Great King [Sick, 2nd Update]

The old white ape left first, while Lan Niang and Hong Ji went to chat with Wu Tian. They told Wu Tian they wanted him to stay; the sisters had finally found a home and wished to serve him well.

This "service" was naturally that of a disciple to their master, not a woman to a man.

"Is that possible?" Lan Niang and Hong Ji asked, their faces tense with the fear of rejection after expressing their desire to serve the Sect Leader.

"You still don’t understand the true meaning of home," Wu Tian said, shaking his head.

Hearing this, Lan Niang and Hong Ji frowned, completely puzzled. What does he mean by the ’true meaning of home’? What is he talking about?

"Let me ask you a question," Wu Tian said. "Who raised you when you were children?"

"It was Uncle Yang," Lan Niang said sadly.

Hong Ji nodded and added, "Uncle Yang loved our mother, but she didn’t love him. He took us in after she passed away, even though we weren’t related by blood."

"He was a poor man, too," Lan Niang said. "But to keep my sister and me from starving, he begged for food everywhere. We grew up eating scraps from countless households."

Wu Tian smiled. "At birth, human nature is fundamentally good." This world has its scoundrels, but it also has good people, even if scoundrels are many and good people few. Scoundrels are often mistaken for heroes, while true heroes are often misunderstood. But in the end, time reveals all.

"Let’s say," Wu Tian said with another smile, "that either your biological father or Uncle Yang had to die. Which one would you choose?"

"This..." Lan Niang and Hong Ji hesitated, conflicted.

But Hong Ji was quick to answer. "I would want Uncle Yang to be safe."

"Me too," Lan Niang finally agreed.

Wu Tian nodded.

「Meanwhile」

The old white ape had told the Divine Monkey Great General about Wu Tian. Hearing the report, the Great General’s face turned completely dark. He had thought Wu Tian was someone impressive, but it turned out he was nothing special. The old white ape added that Wu Tian’s arrival might mean Lan Niang and Hong Ji would be taken away.

This enraged the Divine Monkey Great General even more. He immediately climbed out of his sickbed and stormed off with the old white ape to find Wu Tian.

At that moment, Wu Tian was holding the little one and telling her jokes.

"Wu Tian, come here," the Divine Monkey Great General called out in a stern voice.

"Father, why are you looking for the Sect Leader?" Hong Ji asked, worried.

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing. I just want to have a few words with him," the Divine Monkey Great General said with a smile before turning to Wu Tian. "Come with me."

He strode off into the distance, with the old white ape following behind.

Seeing this, Wu Tian smiled slightly.

"Take me with you," the little one demanded. "Such a good show can’t happen without me!"

Wu Tian wanted to refuse, but the little one gave him a look that clearly threatened tears if he didn’t agree. Wu Tian was helpless. In this lifetime, he was utterly defeated by his daughter. He had no choice but to follow along, carrying the little one.

As Lan Niang and Hong Ji watched them go, their hearts grew heavy, a sense of foreboding washing over them.

The Divine Monkey Great General led Wu Tian to a secluded corner of the General’s Mansion. There, the Great General stopped and turned to face Wu Tian, who had arrived holding the little one. After pondering for a moment, he said, "You will ruin my grand plans."

Wait, what does she mean, ’I can understand my dad’? Wu Tian’s lip twitched.
