After My Favorability Level Is Up to the Top

Chapter 62 - Not A Big Problem

This news is too shocking!

Guo Fan's horrified gaze fixed on the girl in white, who remained expressionless. His heart felt like ten thousand horses galloping through mud. It was just a shade worse than the moment Su Feng had opened the door that day.

“How on earth did I end up with such a grown-up daughter?”

“No, nothing has happened between Li Xieren and me! Can you get pregnant from holding hands and kissing? Or just by staring at each other? No, that's ridiculous. Nothing has happened between Li Xieren and me! Can you get pregnant from holding hands and kissing? Or just by staring at each other?!”

“No, this is not logical. I need to calm down and analyze the situation.”

Guo Fan desperately wanted to smoke a cigarette and find a quiet corner.

“First of all, it's impossible for me to be the green one. Li Xieren's favorability is off the charts, as I mentioned the other day. She can only be my sidekick for the rest of her life. Sigh, let it be. Whatever the case, that's the truth.”

“Secondly, Li Xieren has vowed to maintain purity for life and never marry. Unless I can free her from the Luo Sheng Heavenly Devil Cult, not even the Tribulation Passing Stage in the game can break the silver chains' restrictions and come close to her.”

“Lastly, Yijun shouldn't be lying. She even knows this poem. She must have a very close relationship with Li Xieren to share such secrets.”

“In conclusion~”

“So where did my elder daughter come from?!!!”

The name Guo Fan had given Li Xieren was, to be precise, just a single word, one of the lines in a complete poem. The most famous line read:

“What is love in the world? It is directly related to life and death.”

That's correct. Guo Fan had used these words to express his affection. With this gesture, he had raised Li Xieren's favorability level to 99%, and after a few more interactions, it reached its peak.

Apart from parents giving their children names in such a sentimental manner, Guo Fan couldn't imagine any other reason for doing so.

He used his own romantic words to name others, even asking people to come and protect him…

“Um… So, you are Li Xieren's… daughter?”

Guo Fan asked carefully, taking a deep breath and composing himself.

Yijun nodded in confirmation.

No need to panic; it wasn't such a big problem. Guo Fan told himself to stay calm, take deep breaths…

Guo Fan inhaled deeply again. “Whose daughter are you?”

Yijun raised her small, delicate hand and pointed at Guo Fan. “Yours.”

“…”

“Mine?”

“Yes, yours.”

Calm down, calm down. There was a huge problem. There was no use panicking.

What the hell?! What the hell is going on?!

I, Guo Fan, couldn't care less about dispelling my own debuff. What the fuck! I'm playing a game meant for adults, and now I have a daughter?!

Guo Fan asked, his voice trembling, “How did you end up here?”

Yijun's expression remained stoic, “Using heart blood, the Reincarnation Lotus, and a strand of Yuan Shen separated from a God Forming Stage cultivator's body.”

Guo Fan was momentarily stunned, then he let out a long sigh of relief.

Great, crisis averted.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, realizing it was just a false alarm.

Heart blood… Anyway, even if he had a Gu implanted in his body, such hidden bugs wouldn't appear in this kind of game. Extracting the heart blood would probably be a matter of time.

Damn, but thinking about it this way, he became anxious about what those women were doing behind his back.

But… this could be considered a real daughter, right?

Guo Fan looked at Yijun, feeling bewildered. At first glance, their temperaments seemed vastly different, completely unlike Li Xieren's. Yet, on closer inspection, the two bore a striking resemblance.

To Guo Fan's surprise, there stood a young girl who resembled Li Xieren, though she seemed to lack any distinct attributes.

“What is Li Xieren up to… Has she been planning this for a while? Sending someone to follow me secretly—it's puzzling,” Guo Fan pondered, his mind in turmoil, wishing he could scratch his head in frustration.

Guo Fan's thoughts were racing, driving him slightly mad as he grappled with the situation.

The young girl, Yijun, patiently waited nearby. Observing Guo Fan struggling to articulate his thoughts, she seemed somewhat skeptical.

It appeared that her father wasn't very adept at conversing with others.

Sensing Yijun's curious gaze, Guo Fan suddenly realized that this was not the time to be indecisive. He inquired, “Have you been following me all this while?”

Yijun nodded.

Guo Fan cleared his throat twice. “But you're a girl. It's odd that you've been secretly protecting me. As a grown man, I should be… protecting my daughter. In any case…”

Yijun calmly interjected, “Being conspicuous on the surface would defeat the purpose. Besides, I'm stronger than you.”

“…”

What was this child talking about?

Yijun continued, adding another stab, “Moreover, your loved ones will become furious, putting you in even greater peril.”

Guo Fan felt like he was spitting old blood, and his eyes twitched. This kid had a natural talent for being cunning, right? He couldn't be just an ordinary person.

No, that wasn't right. This child had been cautious with his words from the start. Guo Fan's gaze turned serious as he unraveled the truth. “Li Xieren said this, didn't he?”

Yijun calmly nodded and asked, “Can I go now?”

He felt slightly belittled.

Guo Fan had no choice but to reply, “Sure, but can I take the initiative to find you?”

Yijun nodded. “Name.”

“So, all I need to do is call your name?” Guo Fan asked.

The young girl nodded, and in an instant, she disappeared from sight.

Indeed, she vanished without saying a word, leaving him with no chance to comprehend what just happened.

Guo Fan stood motionless and let out a sigh. His gaze fell upon Wan Cai's lifeless body on the ground. There was no need to dispose of it; the corpse could serve as sufficient evidence.

In truth, Yijun didn't have to do much either. The magical weapon left behind by Li Xieren was linked to his heart and blood, granting him some divine abilities. While it might not instantly make him incredibly strong, he could still hold his own in a fight.

“S~Senior… How, how… Third Elder died?”

A timid voice suddenly emerged from the side; it was Mao Li.

Mao Li was the typical type who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Witnessing the clash between the two powerful figures, he knew he couldn't escape and might as well face the situation head-on. He stepped forward, hoping he could survive.

Swallowing hard, he knelt down and kowtowed. He had already knelt more than ten times, but he thought it wouldn't hurt to do it more now.

Guo Fan said, “Save your life.”

Swoosh!

With a swift crack, a lightning whip struck Mao Li's knee, prompting him to let out a wretched cry. He tumbled on the ground and, upon looking up, saw Cheng Liuxian, the person he had always looked down upon, staring coldly at him, wielding a lightning whip in his hand.

Cheng Liuxian's voice was icy as he said, “Your crime may not warrant death, but it's unforgivable to do evil in pursuit of power. I shall cripple both your legs. Since your knees are of no use, it's best you don't have them.”

Despite Mao Li's pleas for mercy, he couldn't help but unleash vicious curses in the midst of his excruciating pain.

“I only wanted to gain fame. Is that so wrong?” His eyes were bloodshot.

Guo Fan retorted, “Your desire for recognition isn't wrong, but your methods are.”

Gazing at the Wide Ocean Sect disciples gathering in the distance due to the commotion, Mao Li had a sinking feeling that it would be his reputation that suffered the most. Tears streamed down his face as he weakly shouted, “I'm not wrong! I'm absolutely not wrong!”

Guo Fan glanced at Su Li and the others who had approached.

“The remaining two spies of the Devil Cult have been apprehended.”

After handing over one dead and one living spy, Guo Fan suspected that Wan Cai was also fishing for something. His bold actions seemed too coincidental. It was likely that the incident with Cao Dong had made him vigilant, leading to his current move. Guo Fan speculated that they both had the same intentions.

However, such speculations were no longer significant. The threat of the devil religion had been eliminated, making the resolution of the conflict between the Wide Ocean Sect and the Frost River Manor more achievable. The only issue was dealing with the formidable old man, Zeng Zhelan.
