After Favorability Is Maxed

335 Junxuan, This Aunt Is So Fierce

Ling Guang looked at the scene of a kind father and a filial daughter in front of him and slowly typed out a question mark.

She saw the young girl who suddenly jumped out of nowhere pounce into Liu Yuan’s arms, calling out ‘Daddy’ while showing a lovely smile. Her small face with some baby fat was clear and beautiful. She looked up at the young man, and her big black eyes were as clear as if there were no impurities.

The young girl obediently snuggled in Liu Yuan’s arms and mumbled, “Zhizhi missed you so much. It’s so boring to stay in the room and recuperate.”

Liu Yuan stretched out the hand that Ling Guang had ‘held’ and touched Zhizhi’s head. He said softly, “I won’t have to stay here any longer. I’ll go to the Jade Mirage Sect again, and I’ll be more or less done with the things here.”

As the spirit of the mountains and seas, Zhizhi had been cooped up in her room for a long time. It was indeed time for her to come out.

However, she lost a lot of her essence energy because she had saved Liu Yuan. If she went out and was discovered by someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be even worse. Therefore, it was safer for her to stay here.

“Oh… I know.” Zhizhi squinted her eyes like a kitten and enjoyed Liu Yuan’s touch. She nodded.

Liu Yuan suddenly frowned and sized up the girl’s face. He muttered suspiciously, “Why does it seem like … It’s a little small.”

After Liu Yuan’s actions which caused Zhizhi to age quickly, she looked to be around 14 or 15 years old. However, she seemed to have shrunk all of a sudden and looked to be around 11 or 12 years old.

He then pointed at the girl’s head. “Still … You’ve become a little shorter.”

Zhizhi blinked and explained, “I’ve lost too much of my essence Qi, so I can’t maintain my human form. I can only shrink a little.”

Liu Yuan was stunned. He thought about it and it made sense.

Ling Guang had already sized up Zhizhi from head to toe.

The young lady’s appearance was completely different from Liu Yuan’s. Furthermore, she was a spirit of the mountains and seas, and her race was different. It could be determined that she was definitely not Liu Yuan’s biological child.

The strong sense of danger in Phoenix’s heart faded slightly, but her vigilance did not disappear.

From the interaction between the two, they did feel like father and daughter.

“Husband, is she your adopted daughter?”

Ling Guang turned her head and asked softly with a smile. Her tone was unusually gentle.

Liu Yuan made a sound of acknowledgment and felt that it was a little troublesome to explain Zhizhi’s identity.

First of all, she was picked up by Hu Jiuniang. Later, due to the environment in which the spirit of the mountains and seas grew up, Hu Jiauniang handed her to Liu Yuan to be raised.

The main question then becomes – who is Hu Jiuniang?

Answer: Liu Yuan’s friend is a female white fox demon.

As a member of the demon beast race, a young spirit of the mountains and seas was undoubtedly extremely attractive. To be able to raise Zhizhi like a daughter and think so much about it, it could be said that Hu Jiuniang’s feelings for Zhizhi were a deep love of reason that triumphed over instinct.

Then, what kind of friend would be close enough to entrust his beloved daughter to him and even call him ‘Daddy’?

Obviously. there was only one answer, and that was friends with benefits…

Liu Yuan was thinking nervously when Zhizhi suddenly turned to look at Ling Guang. She smiled obediently and replied shyly, “Aunt, Zhizhi is mother’s adopted daughter. ‘Daddy’ is just a form of address for fun. Besides, Father isn’t married yet, so don’t call him ‘Husband’ or something like that.”

“Yes…” Liu Yuan was dumbfounded. “Huh???”

He looked at Zhizhi in shock. What was going on? This was not his innocent and cute Zhizhi!

…

Ling Guang tilted her head and her smile became even gentler. “A-Aunt? What are you talking about…”

Liu Yuan felt that he could hear the feeling of gritting his teeth. Then, he seemed to see the veins on the back of Little Phoenix’s hand popping out.

The scene of Ling Guang blasting open the forbidden area’s door with one punch flashed in his mind, and in the next second, he felt an intense pain in his arm.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

Let go of the arm you’re holding before you make a fist!

Ling Guang let go of his hand and Liu Yuan pulled his arm out. He gasped for cold air and felt what would happen when Phoenix added all the points of Nirvana to her strength.

If he had not bathed in Phoenix blood, he would have lost his arm today.

Zhizhi hid in Liu Yuan’s arms timidly, her cute little face full of fear, “Junxuan, this Aunt is so fierce. But since the birth of the Phoenix, she has gone through the ages and reincarnated countless times. She’s so old, so we can’t call her Aunt anymore, right?”

Liu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. “You’ve got a point…”

“Hmm?” Ling Guang smiled.

Liu Yuan’s face was serious as he changed his words. “But we can’t count it that way, right, Zhizhi? Ling Guang has only been reborn for a few days. It’s only reasonable to count those few days.”

“Besides, Zhizhi, you can’t be so rude, can you?” he asked, his back drenched in cold sweat. “Jiuniang won’t be happy if you do this…”

Ling Guang’s gaze turned sharp. “Jiuniang?”

Liu Yuan kept his mouth shut.

“Jiuniang is Zhizhi’s mother. Her name is Hu Jiuniang, a white fox,” Hong Luan quickly replied.

“Hong Luan knows about this. It was Zhizhi who told me.” She looked at Liu Yuan as if she was asking for credit.

“Junxuan?” the little puppet suddenly asked in confusion, “Junxuan, why are you covering your face?”

Liu Yuan removed his hand from his face, and his mouth twitched as he smiled. “It’s fine. Hong Luan is becoming more and more knowledgeable. I’m very happy.”

He felt like he was a sieve!

He couldn’t hide anything at all!

Liu Yuan summoned up his courage and explained Hu Jiuniang’s request to him.

Ling Guang’s smile was like a flower, and her eyes were bright as she said, “I see. My husband is such a kind person. But Zhizhi, it was my husband who said he was my husband, so I think he wants me to marry him. Am I right, my husband?”

Liu Yuan stammerred, “Uhh, uhh, yes. Hiss…”

“Zhizhi blinked. that’s not it, aunty. It’s just that you’re hurting dad too much, so he doesn’t dare to speak.”

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel or even fight, Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Stop! All of you, be quiet!”

...

Zhizhi returned to her obedient mode and the Little Phoenix looked innocent, almost making Liu Yuan feel that what he had just seen and heard was an illusion.

“Sigh.” Liu Yuan rubbed his arm and said helplessly, “Let’s save the people first,”

After much persuasion, Little Phoenix followed Liu Yuan and saved Ling Jie. However, his cultivation was not as good as Liu Yuan’s and he was still unconscious. He would probably need to recuperate for a long time.

The sparks between Zhizhi and Ling Guang had never been extinguished.

Liu Yuan was suffering while waiting for the return of Zhiying and Netherworld. He just wanted to go back to the Jade Mirage Sect with Ling Hua and hide away. But before that, he needed to contact the City of Ten Thousand Swords and ask them to make the necessary preparations so that they could meet up with his party.

However, he had never expected that Duan Lanruo would contact him before Liu Yuan could inject his spirit energy into the communication array.
