V2c4: Accidentally got a loli daughter.
Demon Realm.
Territory boundary of the Qian Chi Clan.
There were no Demonic Cultivators subservient to true demons here; Lin Mo had purged almost all of them.
Just like at the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, Lin Mo had become the feared ‘Sword Demon’ among the Demonic Cultivators here.
Upon seeing Lin Mo, the Demonic Cultivators here would all detour, none daring to provoke him anymore.
Mo Paor, Lin Mo’s number one subordinate in the Demon Realm, was genuinely impressed by Lin Mo’s strength.
However, he also had many questions.
“Brother Mo, can I ask you something?”
“Ask.”
“Brother Mo, since your strength is so great, why are you playing dumb here…”
Mo Paor was truly curious.
Having followed Lin Mo for so long, he had noticed some peculiarities.
Lin Mo never initiated killings; he only killed those who provoked him.
This was precisely what troubled him.
He realized Lin Mo was intentionally showing weakness, even deliberately flaunting his wealth.
Furthermore, after his deeds became known and everyone avoided him, Lin Mo would deliberately disguise himself to attract Demonic Cultivators who sought to rob and kill him.
He remembered the first time he met Lin Mo, the question the latter asked him: “Why could you recognize me?”
From this detail, it was clear that all of Lin Mo’s actions were intentional.
If Lin Mo had simply been bloodthirsty or hated Demonic Cultivators, he could have just killed them. Why go through so much trouble?
“What, do you have a problem with that?” Lin Mo looked at him, wondering if he had to explain to his subordinate that he was trying to harvest Regret.
“No, no, no, how could I dare…” Mo Paor shivered, then forced a smile.
He would just assume this lord had some peculiar hobby.
Looking at the fearful gazes of the surrounding Demonic Cultivators, Lin Mo knew there was no point in him staying at the Qian Chi Clan’s borders any longer.
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“To the borders of other Demon Races to have some fun.”
Mo Paor, upon hearing this, readily led the way.
The Qian Chi Clan was closest to the Chi Yan Clan.
Upon arriving at the Chi Yan Clan’s borders, Lin Mo began harvesting Regret as usual.
A few days later.
On top of a pavilion, a pair of eyes were intently watching Lin Mo.
‘He might be able to help mother…’
Meanwhile, Lin Mo had just dealt with a few cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage who had come looking for trouble.
These individuals seemed to be well-known local ruffians in this area.
Mo Paor exclaimed excitedly from the side, “Brother Mo, you’re amazing!”
Lin Mo corrected him, “Not amazing, ‘taikula’.”
Although he didn’t understand the meaning of the word, Mo Paor immediately changed his tune, “Brother Mo, taikula.”
Then, as usual, he began to loot the bodies of the defeated enemies for Lin Mo.
He secretly rejoiced, ‘Following Brother Mo, I can eat for a year in a single day.’
Lin Mo, sensing someone rushing towards him from behind, sneered, “There are really a lot of daring, death-seeking Demonic Cultivators here.”
He was about to recall his Liuli Sword when it instantly shifted its position. Just as he was about to decapitate the approaching figure, he looked down and was stunned.
The approaching figure was no more than 1.3 meters tall, with dark hair cascading over her shoulders. Her fair skin was as smooth as sheep’s fat, and her chubby cheeks made one want to pinch them.
What was this?
A loli?
The loli seemed startled by Lin Mo’s Liuli Sword as well, freezing in place for a few seconds. Then, she threw herself into Lin Mo’s arms and said in a childish voice, “Daddy!”
Lin Mo was so shocked he couldn’t react.
Mo Paor looked at the little loli, then at Lin Mo, and exclaimed, “Brother Mo, you have a daughter?”
Lin Mo quickly shook his head, “I don’t.”
The little loli’s hands were still holding onto him. Without hesitation, Lin Mo grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and lifted her up to face him, saying with some helplessness, “Look carefully, I’m not your father.”
“You are my daddy,”
The little loli’s dark eyes shone with a bright glow, her small, pink lips curving upwards below her high nose. She smiled sweetly, with shallow rose-red dimples on her cheeks, looking both cute and noble.
Lin Mo observed the girl’s attire and demeanor, realizing she was from a wealthy and noble background.
Moreover, he discovered that this little girl’s cultivation level was already at the Golden Core stage.
She just wasn’t very bright, mistaking even her own father.
He gently put the little loli down and said, “You’ve mistaken me, I’m not your father.”
Saying so, Lin Mo prepared to leave.
The little loli rushed forward again, hugging Lin Mo tightly once more. This time, her voice was laced with tears, “Wuwu, Daddy, you can’t abandon your baby.”
Even Demonic Cultivators possessed some emotions.
Many of the surrounding Demonic Cultivators were looking at Lin Mo with extremely displeased expressions, as if he were some scoundrel.
Lin Mo noticed this and glared at them fiercely.
Those Demonic Cultivators quickly lowered their heads, pretending they hadn’t seen anything, their expressions changing faster than flipping a book.
Mo Paor then examined the little girl, then looked at Lin Mo and said, “Brother Mo, this little girl looks quite a bit like you. Is she really not your child?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo also looked carefully at the little loli’s face, and indeed, there was a slight resemblance.
Dismissing it as a coincidence, and hearing the little loli’s soft cries, Lin Mo didn’t know what to do.
“Alright, stop crying for now. What’s your name?” He knelt down, patiently trying to keep his voice gentle.
“I, I’m Lin Xiang’er,” the little loli choked out.
Lin Mo was taken aback again. She had the same surname as him?
What a coincidence!
Mo Paor had also clearly noticed this, “Brother Mo, her surname is the same as yours. She must be your daughter then.”
Lin Mo ignored him and pointed at the little girl’s tender cheek, wiping away her tears, “Xiang’er, where are you from?”
“From home.”
“Then where is your home?”
“At home,”
“…” Lin Mo was speechless.
“How did you get here by yourself? Was no one with you?” Lin Mo changed the subject.
“Yes, Qi Qi was with me,” Lin Xiang’er replied.
Lin Mo’s eyes lit up, “Where is this Qi Qi you speak of?”
“I lost her!” Lin Xiang’er said.
“……” Lin Mo was speechless again.
So, Lin Xiang’er had gotten lost?
But how was this possible? Could her family be so careless?
This wasn’t his modern era where cultivators had divine sense.
Could she really be lost?
Most importantly, in this Demon Realm, how could a little girl wander to such a chaotic border without encountering trouble?
Just now, Lin Mo could sense many Demonic Cultivators’ gazes fixed on Lin Xiang’er.
To be able to wander around safely was truly strange.
Since he didn’t understand, Lin Mo asked, “In the days you were lost, did any bad guys talk to you?”
“I didn’t get lost, I lost Qi Qi,” Lin Xiang’er pouted, emphasizing her words.
“Alright, alright, then in the days you lost Qi Qi, did any bad guys talk to you?”
“No,” Lin Xiang’er pointed to the pendant she wore around her neck, “Mother left this for me. She said there are many bad people outside, and if I’m alone outside, no one will be able to find me with this!”
Lin Mo reached out and touched the pendant, finding it to be a concealment artifact of extremely high quality.
No wonder, no wonder this little loli had remained safe and sound.
Now, Lin Mo was even more convinced that this little loli’s identity was definitely not simple.
He looked at Mo Paor, “Are there any great Demon Race members in the Demon Realm with the same surname as me?”
Mo Paor shook his head, “No. I’ve been around in the Demon Realm for over a hundred years, and I’ve never heard of a Demon Race member with the surname Lin.”
Lin Mo looked down at Lin Xiang’er, “Then what is your mother’s name?”
Lin Xiang’er shook her little head, “Baby doesn’t know…”
Lin Mo was utterly exasperated, “Then Xiang’er, do you remember where you came from?”
“I don’t know. Mother teleported baby away.” Speaking of this, Lin Xiang’er’s small face was filled with ‘sadness’.
It’s okay, who would teleport their own child away alone?
Clearly, something had gone wrong.
“Did something happen at home?” Lin Mo asked.
“Baby doesn’t know, but many people wanted to capture Mother.” Lin Xiang’er tightly clutched Lin Mo’s sleeve, her little tears about to flow again, “Daddy, you must save Mother…”
Lin Mo fell silent…
He didn’t know this little loli at all.
Now the little girl wanted him to save her mother, but she knew nothing. How could he save her?
Besides, he didn’t know how dangerous it would be.
What if he encountered a powerful expert in the Integration stage or above?
Lin Mo would not undertake such a thankless task.
After much deliberation, Lin Mo decided to take Lin Xiang’er with him. At most, he could harvest Regret while helping Lin Xiang’er find her family.
If that didn’t work, once he could afford the ability to extract memories with ‘Yellow Millet Dream’, he could look into Lin Xiang’er’s memories, and the problem would be much easier to solve.
“Daddy, my mother is very beautiful, and she has many good things. If you save Mother, Mother will give you anything.”
Hmm?
Lin Mo couldn’t help but smile.
If his father knew he had such a leaky little padded jacket, he wondered what he would think.
It was a pity he didn’t have Cao Cao’s particular taste, or perhaps he might have charged in for love.
However, from Lin Mo’s perspective, he quite liked this daughter he had stumbled upon.
He might as well consider her as a goddaughter.
Lin Mo reached out and stroked Lin Xiang’er’s little head, “If I have the ability to save your mother, I will naturally save her.”
This was the limit of what he could do.
“Daddy, you’re too good.” Lin Xiang’er jumped slightly and planted a kiss on Lin Mo’s cheek.
Lin Mo smiled helplessly at this.
That night, considering Lin Xiang’er needed rest, Lin Mo booked a room in a nearby inn.
Although this was the Demon Realm, the difference from the Human Realm wasn’t that significant.
Everything they needed was available.
After all, Demonic Cultivators were also people…
Lin Mo had intended to book three rooms.
However, considering the inn’s security, he decided to share a room with Lin Xiang’er.
He didn’t need to sleep anyway; he could just meditate by her side.
At night, as Lin Mo was meditating and absorbing Demonic Energy, a small figure suddenly burrowed into his arms.
…
I was at the hospital today, so I’m only writing until now with nine thousand words.
I’ll make it up tomorrow.
