Chapter 31 Wanted to be my dad at age 6



Chapter 31 Wanted to be my dad at age 6

Looking at Han Xiaoliu's sincere expression, Han Baibai was completely unconvinced.

She secretly glanced at Han Xiaoliu, thinking to herself: "Hmph, adults are all cunning. My maternal grandfather taught me since I was little that I should never believe the nonsense of those seemingly honest people. Who knows which of their words might be true?"

She sniffed and tentatively asked, "You really won't hit me anymore?"

Han Xiaoliu nodded firmly.

"Then take me back." Han Baibai pressed her advantage.

Han Xiaoliu shook his head: "We can't go back now. We have to wait forty-eight days."

Han Baibai pouted, her face full of disbelief: "You're lying, I don't believe you! You want to lock me up here!"

Han Xiaoliu was speechless. This girl was so clever at such a young age. She had been completely corrupted by Dong Xuan'er's quirky personality.

It seems that just saying it won't work; the only way is to let her experience the "mountain-like love of a father" again.

His face darkened, and he suddenly raised his hand as if to strike!

"Wow!" Han Baibai was so frightened that her soul almost left her body. She turned around and tried to run away, but before she could take two steps, a large hand lifted her up by the back of her collar like she was a chick.

This time she completely surrendered. Her short legs, which had been dangling in mid-air, kicked twice before giving up the struggle. With a tearful voice, she begged for mercy, "My mother is Dong Xuan'er of the Hehuan Sect! She's doing well there! She eats well and dresses well! Please don't hit me!"

"That's more like it!" Han Xiaoliu put her down with satisfaction, patted the dust off her clothes, and tentatively asked, "Did your mother tell you who your father is?"

The little girl, still shaken, clutched her bottom, terrified of another beating. All she wanted now was to appease this big bad guy, so she blurted out, "My father is Han Xiaoliu from Yellow Maple Valley! My grandmother is Hong Fu Fairy from Yellow Maple Valley! You… what else do you want to know? As long as you don't hit me, I'll tell you everything!"

Han Xiaoliu felt a sense of relief. It seemed that Dong Xuan'er had not concealed her identity and had even told the child.

It seems she wasn't just playing around, but genuinely loved me and even gave birth to a daughter. I feel sorry for her.

At this moment, the gloom on Han Xiaoliu's face vanished, replaced by an unprecedentedly bright smile. The expression of a loving father made Han Baibai's heart tremble.

He crouched down, his gaze level with Han Baibai's, his tone so gentle it seemed to melt hearts: "Let's get to know each other again. I'm your father, Han Xiaoliu!"

Han Baibai stared wide-eyed at the "bad guy" who had just pinned her to the ground and beaten her, now looking at her with deep affection and saying he was her biological father. Her little brain completely shut down: This... this guy must be an idiot? He's only six years old and already wants to be my father, is he drinking fake milk?

But he said: "If you really are my father, then why did you hit me!"

Han Xiaoliu scratched his head and explained with an embarrassed smile, "I didn't know you before, did I? Ignorance is no excuse."

Han Baibai pouted, her face full of indignation, and retorted with her hands on her hips, "Then you hit me when I dug up the family's medicinal herbs! My mother wouldn't even lay a finger on me!"

To salvage his image in his daughter's eyes, Han Xiaoliu waved his hand grandly, pointing to all the flowers and plants in the garden and saying with an air of magnanimity, "These are all ours! Dig up as many as you want, dig as much as you like!" He then rubbed his hands together, leaned closer with an expectant look, and asked, "Now... do you believe I'm your father?"

Han Baibai rolled her eyes, thinking, "Do I look that easy to fool?" She took a step back and said warily, "I don't believe you unless you can prove your identity."

Han Xiaoliu was a little stumped, scratching his chin and asking in confusion, "How can you prove that? Even if I tell you stories about my time with your mother, you wouldn't know, because you weren't even born then."

Han Baibai's eyes darted around, remembering a funny story her mother sometimes mentioned, and she asked teasingly, "Then let me ask you, what color are the two piglets my father raised?"

Han Xiaoliu was delighted. "I know the answer to this one!" he said confidently. "One is named Bajie, and it's blue; the other is named Jiu Mei, and it's pink."

Han Baibai's heart skipped a beat: This liar is amazing! He even knows this? But then she thought about it again. Her mother had mentioned that her father had two little pig spirit pets. Many people in Huangfeng Valley knew about this, so it wasn't surprising that this person knew.

She stretched out her delicate white hand, palm up, and said, "Talk is cheap; show me what you've got."

Han Xiaoliu was instantly dumbfounded and froze on the spot. He had no idea where those two pigs were having fun, so how could he show them to her? He could only awkwardly explain, "Well... they're playing around right now and I don't know where they've run off to. I'll take you to see them when I find them."

"Hmph, he really is a liar." Han Baibai narrowed her eyes and pressed on again, "Then do you know what my father's pet is?"

"Your dad had a lot of pets back then, which one are you asking about?" Han Xiaoliu was a little guilty, but the only one he had any dealings with was Bubble. He tentatively asked, "You mean... Bubble?"

Seeing Han Baibai's puzzled expression, seemingly unresponsive to the name, he quickly added a description of Bubble's appearance: "It's a round, yellow ball with big eyes."

Seeing that she still looked blank, Han Xiaoliu had no choice but to resort to his trump card and said in a low voice, "I used it to deal with your mother before."

The little girl was immediately displeased when she heard the other person dare to say that they had "disciplined" her mother. She put her hands on her hips and said aggressively, "Show me the bubbles you mentioned! If you can't, you're lying!"

Han Xiaoliu awkwardly spread his hands again, saying helplessly, "It...it went to a meeting and hasn't come back yet."

Han Baibai looked at Han Xiaoliu with the same disdain as if he were a charlatan spouting nonsense.

Left with no other option, Han Xiaoliu resorted to his last resort: "Is there any other way to prove it? Like a portrait, a photographic record, or something?"

Han Baibai's little brain flashed with a clever idea. She remembered that she had seen her uncle's portrait in the sect, so she said, "I have seen my uncle's portrait. Unless you bring him here, I don't believe you are my father."

Han Xiaoliu was overjoyed. What a coincidence! Han Li was right here! He smiled and said to the little girl, "Come on, I'll take you to find Han Li."

Just as the little girl was surprised that the other party would address her uncle by his name, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Captain Han Xiaoliu invites you to join the team."

With absolutely no choice, the little girl was instantly and passively drawn into the team.

"Han Baibai joins the team!"

The notification that suddenly appeared in everyone's minds left the others who were exploring the secret realm puzzled.

Han Li was the first to ask, his tone tinged with surprise: "Who is Han Baibai?"

Han Xiaoliu chuckled, his voice sounding particularly smug in the team channel: "Hehe, let me introduce you, Han Baibai, my daughter."

Han Li was shocked. When did his little brother have a daughter?

Lady Jade: Does the young master have a daughter? How old is she?

Han Xiaoliu: ... (The same age as me, do you believe it?)

Han Li had already made up his mind! If she really was his younger brother's daughter, then her mother could only be his junior sister Xuan'er.

Han Xiaoliu then asked, "Where are you? I'll bring her to see you."

Yu Niangzi's voice rang out at the right moment: "Stone Platform Square is where we came in from."

Han Baibai listened to the conversation in her mind with a blank expression, looking around like a startled little rabbit, but she didn't see anyone around her.

Just as she was wondering if the person speaking, Han Li, was her uncle, Han Xiaoliu had already grabbed her hand and activated a teleportation talisman.

The scene shifted, and after a dizzying moment, she found herself on the blue stone steps by a small river.

Before she could even stand up straight, the first thing she saw was a little girl about her age, staring at her with wide, curious eyes.

Standing next to Han Baibai was a beautiful woman with a captivating figure, but such women were not uncommon in the Hehuan Sect, and she did not have any particular thoughts about them.

"You're Han Baibai? Is your mother Dong Xuan'er?" A gentle yet somewhat distant voice came from beside me.

Han Baibai looked up at the sound and saw a man calmly sizing her up.

He wore a simple blue robe with the cuffs tightly bound. His face was handsome but unremarkable, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable, exuding a coldness that kept strangers at bay.

A face exactly like the one in the portrait!

Han Baibai instantly realized that this person was her uncle, Han Li.

"Uncle!"

Overjoyed, as if she had grasped a lifeline, she ran quickly towards the other person, opened her arms, and gestured for him to hug her.

At this moment, she felt a great sense of security. As long as she confirmed that he was her uncle, she would have a powerful backer here, and she would definitely make that "bad guy" pay!
