Free Web NovelMing Zhiyun was just about to throw himself back into the tedious and dangerous cleaning work.
A clear, pleasant female voice suddenly rang out, as ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ if it was right beside his ear, yet also as if it came from a distant place.
He abruptly raised his head, his eyes meeting the equally astonished gazes of the two priests.
Dou Zhen murmured, “This is... the High Priest’s Resonating Heart Ape’s thought transmission?”
As his words fell, the voice came again: “It is a great honor to receive the recognition of the Nine Gods Temple and High Priest, allowing me to communicate with everyone in this way.”
Mingxi’s voice, transmitted clearly through the Resonating Heart Ape’s skill, reached the ears of all humans in the nine branch temples.
“I am Mingxi, from Haizhou City, Jianghuai Region, Dragonflower Country, Blue Star.”
The young girl’s voice was crisp, like a flowing spring, yet within its crispness, it contained a unique charm that made her words more infectious, as if they could pierce through people’s hearts.
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhiyun’s heart rate suddenly accelerated.
He widened his eyes, looking out the window in disbelief, as if trying to see through the spatial barrier to the young girl who was speaking eloquently. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Someone from Haizhou City, Jianghuai Region, Dragonflower Country, Blue Star!
“This year, I am 16 years old.”
“I have been searching for someone, someone very important to me. I have traveled thousands of miles, over mountains and rivers, just to find him.”
“I’m not sure if he’s still alive, or if he still remembers me.”
“I came to this place, where he might have a glimmer of hope, with hope in my heart and a surge of passion.”
“I want to tell him in person, ‘Dad, I’ve come to pick you up.’”
Ming Zhiyun’s hands trembled violently; he could hardly believe his ears.
Mingxi!
Is it really his Mingxi?!
She came to pick him up!
At this moment, the two priests who also heard this declaration exchanged glances, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
That distinguished guest was actually the disabled Ming Zhiyun’s daughter.
The Beast Tamer who had contracted seven pets.
16 years old!
Is she even human?
Then they thought about their recent mockery and ridicule of Ming Zhiyun, and the harsh treatment he had endured over the years.
Both instantly had a bad feeling.
At the same time, they felt like slaps were constantly ringing in their ears, leaving their faces red and swollen, causing them immense suffering.
Wuwu.
The louder they had laughed just now, the uglier their faces were swollen now.
Although the young girl named Mingxi came from outside and was a Blue Star human.
But a Blue Star human who could make the Nine Gods Temple actively open the Ascending Gate, welcome her with the highest etiquette, trigger the simultaneous illumination of the nine temples, and even contract the Holy Foundation of a temple, could never be an ordinary person. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Didn’t even the High Priest help her find her father?
“This... what should we do?”
Bai Bin looked distressed, secretly glancing at the tear-streaked Ming Zhiyun.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Dou Zhen, however, remained relatively calm. He instantly saw through his companion’s thoughts and frowned: “What else can we do? Quickly take him to find his daughter.”
Although his character wasn’t great either, he wouldn’t go so far as to murder someone over a few light insults.
Moreover, this was the Nine Gods Temple, their territory after all.
No matter how extraordinary that young girl was, she was still an outsider.
Even if they had truly done something wrong, he believed the High Priest, seeing that they had safely delivered the person, would certainly not dwell too much on their previous impoliteness.
At most, it would be a penalty of copying precepts or a few days of confinement, nothing that would cause serious harm.
But if they truly laid a hand on Ming Zhiyun, it wouldn’t matter if they weren’t caught, but if they were, their lives would definitely be forfeit.
He could still do this kind of calculation.
He looked again at Bai Bin, whose expression still held hesitation and ruthlessness.
He couldn’t help but think to himself: “It seems I shouldn’t continue to associate too much with this Bai Bin in the future. He’s too stupid; I feel like he’ll lower my IQ.”
He ignored the overthinking, low-IQ Bai Bin and looked again at the emotional, tearful Ming Zhiyun.
Although he had accepted his fate, he could still try to make amends.
“Old Brother Ming, I have offended you greatly before, please forgive me.
This is the first fruit borne by the Vision Tree I cultivated for many years. It has the effect of blessing, praying, and eliminating various negative Curses. As my apology gift, I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold grudges against a petty person.”
As he spoke, he stuffed a emerald green fruit into Ming Zhiyun’s hand.
Ming Zhiyun, who was suddenly given an energy fruit: “...”
“Let’s go! I’ll take you to find the Chief Priest, to help you two, father and daughter, reunite!”
Ignoring Bai Bin, who was reaching out in protest, and Ming Zhiyun, who hadn’t reacted yet, Dou Zhen pushed the wheelchair and was about to go find the Chief Priest on his own.
He did want to directly take Ming Zhiyun to find that distinguished guest named Mingxi.
But only their Chief Priest could open the gate connecting to the Main Temple’s space.
Priest Bai Bin, who had just had murderous intent, was inexplicably abandoned: “...”
What’s going on? He felt like he had been severely backstabbed.
...
Good news, cheap dad isn’t dead, and he’s actually in the Nine Gods Temple.
Bad news, cheap dad was poisoned by a rule-based virulent poison that even the High Priest couldn’t cure, leading to his leg disability and sealed Pet Space.
A young man in his early forties, yet his body was as decayed as a four-hundred-year-old elder’s.
He also had countless injuries on his body, showing that he hadn’t lived well these years.
Although Mingxi felt sad and distressed, she didn’t resent the Nine Gods Temple because of it.
Regardless, they had sheltered her father for so many years; otherwise, given his current condition, if he were expelled from the Nine Gods Temple, he would truly have no other path but death.
“Dad.”
Although Mingxi was not the original owner, her feelings for Ming Zhiyun were completely inherited from the original owner. To say they were profound was definitely not the case.
But when she accepted her identity and accepted her grandmother as a relative, it also meant she had fully accepted Ming Zhiyun as her father.
So, she called out ‘Dad’ without any hesitation.
That’s why she was able to be so emotional through the ‘broadcast’ just now.

“...Xiao Xi, are you really my Xiao Xi? Am I dreaming?”
Ming Zhiyun looked at the beautiful, exquisite, and graceful young girl in front of him. She was so unfamiliar, yet so familiar.
Over the years, he had fantasized countless times about what his daughter would look like when she grew up. Now, seeing her with his own eyes, he felt a strong sense of unreality.
In a daze, he still felt that all of this was a beautiful dream he was having.
Mingxi knelt halfway in front of him and actively took his scarred, dry, and warm hands.
“Dad, do you think your daughter is too amazing, so it doesn’t feel real?”
Ming Zhiyun subconsciously nodded.
Isn’t she just too amazing?
Look at the pets around her, all Emperor-rank (Black Pearl: Huh?), all unfamiliar.
Then consider her age; he really found it hard to believe it was real.
“Dad, let me tell you about my experiences these past few years.”
