Free Web Novel“Alright,” Ming Zhiyun not only wanted to confirm that he wasn't dreaming, but he also wanted to know how his daughter had managed all these years.
Mingxi slowly recounted her experiences over the years.
From the time Ming Zhiyun's 'death news' arrived, how the Bad Mom Wei Lanzhi heartlessly abandoned the original host and Grandma, to how Grandma, an old woman who had lost her husband and son, struggled to raise her, and then to Grandma contracting a genetic disease, forcing the original host, at a young age, to shoulder the family's burden...
Mingxi held nothing back.
She neither concealed Wei Lanzhi's selfishness and heartlessness, nor did she downplay the original host's suffering, nor did she exaggerate the hardships she experienced after her awakening.
Aside from the Time Realm, she basically said everything she could.
It wasn't because of trust, but because as a son and a father, Ming Zhiyun had the right and the obligation to understand his old mother and to know what kind of life his daughter had lived all these years.
Ming Zhiyun listened as his daughter recounted the past.
As his daughter narrated in a simple, calm, and emotionless manner, his expression was sometimes pained, sometimes sorrowful, and sometimes helpless.
It was as if he had returned to the past, experiencing that difficult and winding period with his mother and daughter.
Until Mingxi spoke of her natural awakening at the age of fourteen.
Upon learning that his daughter, due to poverty, had no choice but to opt for Colorful summoning, and thus contracted a Thunder Demon Bird with a broken evolution chain—
“Mingxi, your father is sorry!”
Ming Zhiyun could imagine his daughter's despair and unwillingness at that time; she had such good potential, yet she was forced to take a dangerous path, one that was very likely a bottomless abyss.
Mingxi smiled, “Dad, Golden Yuanbao is really great. I'm so glad I met Golden Yuanbao.”
Golden Yuanbao, perched on her shoulder, let out a timely cry. Xiao Ye, it was a Transcendent creature destined to become the universe's number one Pet.
When its Beast Tamers contracted it, she had no idea how happy it was.
(￣^￣)
Ming Zhiyun glanced at the bird Pet, which, even when shrunk to parrot size, still couldn't hide its majesty and dominance.
If his daughter hadn't said it herself, he would have truly found it hard to believe that this Imperial-level Pet had evolved from the Thunder Demon Bird, whose fate had long been sealed by the Alliance.
His daughter had not only broken the shackles of destiny but had also created a miracle.
“...After Golden Yuanbao, there was Little Silver Flower. It was also summoned through Colorful. At that time, it was even more pitiful than Golden Yuanbao. Born in the late ancient era, it had to seal itself for ten thousand years to survive. When I contracted it, it was already a living fossil...”
Mingxi continued to recount her past experiences.
And Ming Zhiyun, following those magnificent experiences, became increasingly focused, his worries and confusion vanishing from his face.
When Mingxi reached a tense part, Ming Zhiyun leaned forward slightly, his hands unconsciously gripping the hem of his clothes, his breathing quickened, his brows furrowed, and his lips pressed into a thin line, as if those events were happening right before his eyes, making his heart race.
Upon hearing a shocking plot, Ming Zhiyun's eyes widened, full of disbelief, his fingers unconsciously pinching the armrest of the wheelchair, his voice trembling slightly: “How could this be?”
And when Mingxi spoke of things taking a turn for the better, he sighed in relief, his hands relaxed, and a hint of relief appeared on his face...
These two strangers, father and daughter, one spoke eloquently, the other listened quietly.
Their emotions also seemed to gradually warm and deepen through this exchange.
Until Mingxi spoke of her and Lin Chen ascending the Zhengsheng Gate, unknowingly, the two had been 'alone' for over three hours.
Ming Zhiyun's gaze was somewhat hazy, his expression complex, as if he was savoring those moments.
After a long while, the emotions in his heart surged again like a vast ocean.
His eyes gradually moistened, and finally, he couldn't help but embrace his daughter, tears falling like rain.
A man's tears do not fall easily, only when he is deeply hurt.
Although Mingxi was a little unaccustomed, she did not push him away.
Her old father truly needed a good release.
Over the years, his suffering was definitely no less than Grandma's and the original host's.
After a good while, Ming Zhiyun's emotions finally calmed down a little.
He looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach.
Thinking of Wei Lanzhi again, his heart ached as if being cut by a knife. All these years, he had missed his mother, his daughter, and the woman he had loved his whole life.
He could accept her remarrying after his 'death,' but he could not accept her indifference and heartlessness towards their daughter!
Mingxi gently patted her father's back, took out a tissue to wipe away his tears, and comforted him: “Dad, don't be sad. Without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow, right?
Actually, compared to many unfortunate families, we are truly very fortunate.
You're still alive, Grandma is healthy now, and you have me, your precious daughter, acknowledged as the number one genius by the Alliance!
If you feel lonely, I'd never stop you from finding a second spring.
Our family now has money, power, and strength. We're truly winners in life.
Old Ming, you're amazing! I'm practically dying of envy!”
Mingxi didn't want her old father to remain immersed in sadness, so she deliberately acted playfully.
For someone like her, who was as aloof and proud as a high-mountain flower, having to act like a clown to amuse her parent was truly difficult for her.
Guangguang: ¬_¬｀
Ming Zhiyun naturally felt her thoughtfulness and was not angered by her informality. A genuine smile appeared on his weathered face as he looked at his daughter, thinking of her strength and courage, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
His Mingxi, his precious daughter.
She was right. Having such an excellent daughter, he was truly a winner in life!
What else was there to be resentful or sad about?
Ming Zhiyun smiled, “Okay, Dad will rely on my precious daughter from now on.”
At this moment, he completely relaxed.
With such a daughter, what more could a man ask for?
“Dad, how about letting Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green help treat your body?”
Aside from the injuries accumulated over the years from cleansing Ulagair, Ming Zhiyun's most severe problem was the extreme poison.
The High Priest of the Ula God Temple, who brought him here, said that the poison he was afflicted with was most likely a rare type of poison containing rule energy.
This extreme poison not only sealed his Pet Space but also continuously corroded his vitality and spiritual power.
And that unknown mysterious rule was constantly replicating that extreme poison, making it impossible to be cured by any healing skill.
The priest who saved Ming Zhiyun back then even used a precious SS-grade Pearl-Enshrouded Bone, forcefully pushing the toxins into Ming Zhiyun's legs, barely saving his life and preventing the mysterious rule from being triggered again.
“...Okay, then I'll trouble Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green.”
Ming Zhiyun knew that his daughter's Pets included two with extremely strong healing abilities.
He did not refuse his daughter's kindness, even though he knew that the healing skills of Transcendent creatures might be more harmful than beneficial to him.
“Alright,” Ming Zhiyun not only wanted to confirm that he wasn't dreaming, but he also wanted to know how his daughter had managed all these years.

He looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach.
Thinking of Wei Lanzhi again, his heart ached as if being cut by a knife. All these years, he had missed his mother, his daughter, and the woman he had loved his whole life.
He could accept her remarrying after his 'death,' but he could not accept her indifference and heartlessness towards their daughter!
Mingxi gently patted her father's back, took out a tissue to wipe away his tears, and comforted him: “Dad, don't be sad. Without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow, right?
Actually, compared to many unfortunate families, we are truly very fortunate.
You're still alive, Grandma is healthy now, and you have me, your precious daughter, acknowledged as the number one genius by the Alliance!
If you feel lonely, I'd never stop you from finding a second spring.
Our family now has money, power, and strength. We're truly winners in life.
Old Ming, you're amazing! I'm practically dying of envy!”
Mingxi didn't want her old father to remain immersed in sadness, so she deliberately acted playfully.
For someone like her, who was as aloof and proud as a high-mountain flower, having to act like a clown to amuse her parent was truly difficult for her.

Ming Zhiyun naturally felt her thoughtfulness and was not angered by her informality. A genuine smile appeared on his weathered face as he looked at his daughter, thinking of her strength and courage, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
His Mingxi, his precious daughter.
She was right. Having such an excellent daughter, he was truly a winner in life!
What else was there to be resentful or sad about?
Ming Zhiyun smiled, “Okay, Dad will rely on my precious daughter from now on.”
At this moment, he completely relaxed.
With such a daughter, what more could a man ask for?
“Dad, how about letting Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green help treat your body?”
Aside from the injuries accumulated over the years from cleansing Ulagair, Ming Zhiyun's most severe problem was the extreme poison.
The High Priest of the Ula God Temple, who brought him here, said that the poison he was afflicted with was most likely a rare type of poison containing rule energy.
This extreme poison not only sealed his Pet Space but also continuously corroded his vitality and spiritual power.
And that unknown mysterious rule was constantly replicating that extreme poison, making it impossible to be cured by any healing skill.
The priest who saved Ming Zhiyun back then even used a precious SS-grade Pearl-Enshrouded Bone, forcefully pushing the toxins into Ming Zhiyun's legs, barely saving his life and preventing the mysterious rule from being triggered again.
“...Okay, then I'll trouble Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green.”
Ming Zhiyun knew that his daughter's Pets included two with extremely strong healing abilities.
He did not refuse his daughter's kindness, even though he knew that the healing skills of Transcendent creatures might be more harmful than beneficial to him.
“Alright,” Ming Zhiyun not only wanted to confirm that he wasn't dreaming, but he also wanted to know how his daughter had managed all these years.
Mingxi slowly recounted her experiences over the years.
From the time Ming Zhiyun's 'death news' arrived, how the Bad Mom Wei Lanzhi heartlessly abandoned the original host and Grandma, to how Grandma, an old woman who had lost her husband and son, struggled to raise her, and then to Grandma contracting a genetic disease, forcing the original host, at a young age, to shoulder the family's burden...
Mingxi held nothing back.
She neither concealed Wei Lanzhi's selfishness and heartlessness, nor did she downplay the original host's suffering, nor did she exaggerate the hardships she experienced after her awakening.
Aside from the Time Realm, she basically said everything she could.
It wasn't because of trust, but because as a son and a father, Ming Zhiyun had the right and the obligation to understand his old mother and to know what kind of life his daughter had lived all these years.
Ming Zhiyun listened as his daughter recounted the past.
As his daughter narrated in a simple, calm, and emotionless manner, his expression was sometimes pained, sometimes sorrowful, and sometimes helpless.
It was as if he had returned to the past, experiencing that difficult and winding period with his mother and daughter.
Until Mingxi spoke of her natural awakening at the age of fourteen.
Upon learning that his daughter, due to poverty, had no choice but to opt for Colorful summoning, and thus contracted a Thunder Demon Bird with a broken evolution chain—
“Mingxi, your father is sorry!”
Ming Zhiyun could imagine his daughter's despair and unwillingness at that time; she had such good potential, yet she was forced to take a dangerous path, one that was very likely a bottomless abyss.
Mingxi smiled, “Dad, Golden Yuanbao is really great. I'm so glad I met Golden Yuanbao.”
Golden Yuanbao, perched on her shoulder, let out a timely cry. Xiao Ye, it was a Transcendent creature destined to become the universe's number one Pet. frёeωebɳovel.com
When its Beast Tamers contracted it, she had no idea how happy it was.
(￣^￣)
Ming Zhiyun glanced at the bird Pet, which, even when shrunk to parrot size, still couldn't hide its majesty and dominance.
If his daughter hadn't said it herself, he would have truly found it hard to believe that this Imperial-level Pet had evolved from the Thunder Demon Bird, whose fate had long been sealed by the Alliance.
His daughter had not only broken the shackles of destiny but had also created a miracle.
“...After Golden Yuanbao, there was Little Silver Flower. It was also summoned through Colorful. At that time, it was even more pitiful than Golden Yuanbao. Born in the late ancient era, it had to seal itself for ten thousand years to survive. When I contracted it, it was already a living fossil...”
Mingxi continued to recount her past experiences.
And Ming Zhiyun, following those magnificent experiences, became increasingly focused, his worries and confusion vanishing from his face.
When Mingxi reached a tense part, Ming Zhiyun leaned forward slightly, his hands unconsciously gripping the hem of his clothes, his breathing quickened, his brows furrowed, and his lips pressed into a thin line, as if those events were happening right before his eyes, making his heart race.
Upon hearing a shocking plot, Ming Zhiyun's eyes widened, full of disbelief, his fingers unconsciously pinching the armrest of the wheelchair, his voice trembling slightly: “How could this be?”
And when Mingxi spoke of things taking a turn for the better, he sighed in relief, his hands relaxed, and a hint of relief appeared on his face...
These two strangers, father and daughter, one spoke eloquently, the other listened quietly.
Their emotions also seemed to gradually warm and deepen through this exchange.
Until Mingxi spoke of her and Lin Chen ascending the Zhengsheng Gate, unknowingly, the two had been 'alone' for over three hours.
Ming Zhiyun's gaze was somewhat hazy, his expression complex, as if he was savoring those moments.
After a long while, the emotions in his heart surged again like a vast ocean.
His eyes gradually moistened, and finally, he couldn't help but embrace his daughter, tears falling like rain.
A man's tears do not fall easily, only when he is deeply hurt.
Although Mingxi was a little unaccustomed, she did not push him away.
Her old father truly needed a good release.
Over the years, his suffering was definitely no less than Grandma's and the original host's.
After a good while, Ming Zhiyun's emotions finally calmed down a little.
He looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach.
