Chapter 34 I have 5 kinds of spiritual roots
Daya was startled by Han Xiaoliu's sudden action and looked at him with disbelief.
Han Li stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded seriously, saying, "I don't know if he's powerful or not, but my uncle also has mixed spiritual roots, with four kinds: water, fire, earth, and wood."
"Really?" Han Baibai stopped crying, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes. "Then can I cultivate to be as powerful as my uncle?"
Han Xiaoliu quickly chimed in, coaxing, "Of course! And you also possess my special bloodline supernatural power. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just cry and use your supernatural power to control them, and they won't lay a hand on you."
So that was a bloodline supernatural power. Father has it too; no wonder he knew about the changes in his body. Mother didn't know!
"Really?" The little girl was clearly convinced by this "twisted logic," and hope rekindled in her eyes.
"Of course, I'm your father, would I lie to you?" Han Xiaoliu cleared his throat, put on a mysterious look, and began to talk nonsense with a straight face, "Let me tell you, those cultivators with a single spiritual root, although they progress quickly in the early stages, it is extremely difficult for them to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Because their spiritual root is singular, they cannot comprehend the Five Elements Laws of Heaven and Earth. Unless the cultivation method contains the power of the laws, it is impossible for them to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage."
He paused, then pointed at Han Baibai and said, "However! People with all five elements are different. You are naturally close to heaven and earth, able to unite the five elements, directly comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and thus find it easier to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and achieve the Great Dao!"
Seeing that his daughter was in a much better mood, Han Xiaoliu quickly pressed on, asking, "My dear daughter, how many kinds of spiritual roots do you have?"
Han Baibai stopped crying and started laughing, happily holding up five fingers as if showing off some treasure: "Five! I have five!"
"Wow! That's amazing! Even more amazing than your uncle!" Han Xiaoliu exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Han Baibai, flattered by the lavish praise, proudly raised her chin.
Previously, because of her poor spiritual roots, she was always worried that she was a waste. Unexpectedly, in her father's words, she was actually a genius!
Han Li, standing to the side, also smiled, but silently kept Han Xiaoliu's words in mind. The five elements united... perhaps, this really is the path that suits him.
Looking at Daya, who was still engrossed in eating, Yu Niangzi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
No wonder the young master disliked Daya's qualifications!
Daya is just an average child; it's hard to say whether she'll be able to keep up with them in the future.
"But... my cultivation will be very slow." Han Baibai seemed to have thought of something, and then became somewhat frustrated.
"It's alright!" Han Xiaoliu pointed confidently to the vast expanse outside the window, his eyes gleaming with self-assurance. "There are countless rare and precious treasures outside, all sorts of rare herbs and spirit beasts. As long as Dad's here, all these things can help you quickly improve your cultivation. We don't lack resources, we only lack time!"
Looking at her father's back, which seemed to hold up the sky, Han Baibai nodded vigorously, and the unease in her heart finally dissipated completely.
Han Xiaoliu was overjoyed to see that the little girl no longer stood on end like a hedgehog in response to his identity as her "father," and felt it was time to press his advantage.
He leaned forward slightly, his face plastered with a coaxing smile, looking exactly like a big bad wolf trying to lure a child with candy: "Little White, if you're willing to call me 'Daddy,' I'll take you to cultivate right now. I guarantee your cultivation will improve much faster than your uncle's, how about it?"
Han Baibai tightened her grip on the spoon, as if a fierce internal struggle was taking place in her little head.
She hesitated for a long time before finally mustering up her courage and muttering softly, "I want a little piggy."
The sound was too soft, and Han Xiaoliu didn't hear it clearly.
He quickly leaned closer, his ear almost touching his daughter's mouth, and asked gently, "My dear daughter, what did you just say? Tell Daddy louder."
This time, Han Baibai did not back down.
She raised her head, her eyes, so similar to her own, shining with an unprecedented determination, and said earnestly, "I want a little piggy! Mommy... likes it."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiaoliu's heart was jolted.
In that instant, his mind seemed to travel through time and space, flashing back to Dong Xuan'er's appearance in the Hundred Herbs Garden of Yellow Maple Valley.
At that time, she was dressed in pink, laughing heartily beside Bajie and Jiumei. The sunlight shone on her face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
It turns out that what the child wanted was not rare treasures or unparalleled martial arts techniques, but a memory of his mother.
A surge of bittersweet emotions welled up in Han Xiaoliu's heart.
He reached out and gently pulled Han Baibai to his side, his movements so tender as if he were afraid of breaking some precious treasure.
"Okay, I'll give you both, Daddy will give you both." Han Xiaoliu's voice was a little hoarse, but it was full of undeniable doting affection. "Daddy will take you to catch some little pigs in a little while, and get one for your mother too. When you bring it back to her, she'll be so happy, okay?"
Looking into her father's gentle, watery eyes, Han Baibai's last line of defense crumbled completely. She nodded emphatically, a wide smile spreading across her face, and happily exclaimed, "Thank you, Daddy!"
That clear and crisp "Daddy" was like heavenly music.
Han Xiaoliu's eyes welled up with tears, and he pulled his daughter into his arms.
Han Li and Yu Niangzi, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as they watched this scene.
The father and daughter were reunited, and the whole family was overjoyed. This moment of warmth was enough to surpass all the worldly splendor.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void above everyone's heads, and two halos, one yellow and one green, appeared out of thin air, like shooting stars falling to earth.
As the light faded, two rounded figures landed gracefully. They did not rush to bow, but instead cautiously surveyed their surroundings before transforming into two streaks of light and landing precisely on their respective masters' shoulders.
As soon as the yellow bubble on Han Xiaoliu's shoulder settled, he felt a burning gaze.
It tilted its head and met Han Baibai's wide, staring eyes.
The little girl's eyes gleamed with undisguised shrewdness. Pointing at it with her chubby little finger, she exclaimed in a startling statement: "Daddy, I want this."
Huang Paopao shuddered, his round face filled with disbelief.
It sized up the little brat, who wasn't even as tall as the table, and mentally screamed: Whose kid is this? He just asks for me? Does he even know how much I, Bubble, cost? Can you even afford me?
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away." Han Xiaoliu readily agreed, her tone doting and matter-of-fact.
Hearing this, Huang Paopao panicked and immediately whispered in Han Xiaoliu's ear, "No, boss, who is she? She just opened her mouth and wanted me! And you agreed? I'm one of a kind!"
Han Xiaoliu glanced at it and explained telepathically, "She is Han Baibai, the daughter Dong Xuan'er gave birth to for me. Have you forgotten how you drugged me to activate the 'Mother and Child Spring' building back then? Stop talking nonsense. Now hurry up and think of a way, whether it's to use 'Heavenly Creation Dew' to cultivate another mutated bubble, or something else, just arrange one for my daughter."
Bubble was stunned when she heard that.
It jumped off Han Xiaoliu's shoulder with a start, landed in the center of the wooden table, and swayed left and right as it approached Han Baibai to observe her closely.
It really does feel like the aura of life from the Dreamy Little Three Realms… Bubble thought to himself, no wonder the Fairy Sister gave me a bottle of Mother Spring Water today, it seems this was prepared for her.
Having figured things out, it jumped back onto Han Xiaoliu, reverting to its shrewd demeanor: "Forget about the mutated bubbles, they consume too many resources. They're under the management of the Elf Sister now. But the Elf Sister has already made arrangements. As your daughter, she can obtain a summoned spirit like mine as her guardian spirit. Apart from not having to complete those messy tasks and not being able to become invisible, her other abilities are the same as mine now. After she grows up, she can also obtain a piece of land to build a city."
"What are you waiting for? This is it! Arrange it!" Han Xiaoliu waved his hand.
Upon receiving the order, Huang Paopao jumped to the center of the wooden table, took a deep breath, and activated the power of the laws within its body. Suddenly, the space beside it distorted, and a dazed, unfocused clone appeared out of thin air.
Seeing the two identical bubbles, the two little girls exclaimed simultaneously, "Wow! There are two of them!"
Yu Niangzi remained silent, quietly observing everyone with a calm expression. Han Li, however, approached with a face full of curiosity: "Little brother, what are you doing?"
"Prepare a bubble summoning spirit for Xiaobai, so that it can accompany her as she grows up and also have someone to protect her," Han Xiaoliu explained with a smile.
At this moment, Bubble suddenly pulled out an exquisite jade bowl from the void, filled with spring water brimming with spiritual energy.
It pointed at Han Baibai and said, "Take a drop of her blood and drip it into the bowl."
Han Xiaoliu didn't waste any words. He took his daughter's little hand and said softly, "Little Bai, the little bubble needs a drop of your blood to grow. We'll just lightly tap it and take a drop of blood. It won't hurt."
