Invincible Dad-Chapter 812: Sister Qi, the Eternal Legend

For foodies, nothing is more important than eating.

As for the Ruan sisters, Ruan Lan and Ruan Tang, who are always clamoring about wanting to lose weight, they have no resistance against the enemy that is hotpot.

Watching his wife and daughter enjoy their meal, Xu Lai had a smile on his face.

This hotpot dinner lasted a full hour, and by the time the three women were satisfied with food and drink, the sky had completely darkened.

Outside the window, the cold wind was fierce, with light snow drifting down.

Ruan Lan volunteered: "Brother-in-law, you rest! I’ll clean up the dishes."

"???"

Xu Lai and Ruan Tang looked at her in surprise.

The couple wondered if their ears had deceived them. In this lifetime, they actually saw Ruan Lan volunteer to do housework.

"I am a part of this family too, how can I just enjoy without contributing," Ruan Lan said righteously.

Yiyi blinked her big eyes: "Auntie, were you possessed?"

"That’s right! I’m actually a 3,000-year-old demon cultivator, and today I took over the perfect body of this future Empress, the dream of nine trillion male cultivators, the Immortal Domain’s top beauty," Ruan Lan cooperated grandly, making a fierce expression.

"But my auntie isn’t perfect, you know. Here..."

Xu Yiyi’s gaze seriously fell on Ruan Lan’s chest, and although she didn’t state it outright, she directly interrupted the latter’s performance.

"Beauty comes from the inside out. It’s the heart, it’s the soul!"

Ruan Lan’s expression stiffened, and she earnestly educated: "Niece, you must remember, one’s values should not follow facial features and figure. That’s very superficial."

"Oh oh oh." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Xu Yiyi kept nodding her little head.

A short while later, the little girl asked: "Auntie, so like Mom, it’s okay isn’t it? Both inner and outer beauty."

"..."

This conversation could not continue.

Kitchen water, Ruan Lan’s tears.

She washed dishes and scrubbed pots while quietly wiping away tears at the corners of her eyes; her niece’s words were too hurtful.

"If only I haven’t become Empress yet, I might as well die," she muttered.

"I never expected that there’d be a day Lan Lanzi could be so offended," Sister Qi teased.

"Don’t call me Lan Lanzi!"

"Alright, Lan Lanzi."

"..."

Ruan Lan felt like she didn’t want to pay attention to Sister Qi anymore.

Sister Qi eagerly said: "Lan Lanzi, what anime are we watching tonight? How about the movie version of Saekano? Kato Megumi is the best!"

Ruan Lan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Is this the treasure of the Star Origin Sect?

That old man is unreliable, his magical treasures are unreliable, it’s no wonder the Star Origin Sect has declined.

"Sister Qi, the formation chessboard has many trials left. You can spare some time to give me a peek at the walkthrough."

"Lan Lanzi, cultivation requires being down-to-earth, one step at a time, you mustn’t take shortcuts."

Sister Qi chastised, "I can help you through trials today, but can I help you kill enemies tomorrow?"

"Sure."

"...Overall, no."

"Sister Qi, I’ll offer a jar of wine for each trial passed. You know the wine cellar at home, it’s good wine that even my brother-in-law is reluctant to drink."

Ruan Lan went all out, though the cost was not her own.

"Lan Lanzi, do you know how terrifying those trials are? Divine Bridge, Venerable, Celestial Venerable, Immortal Venerable, even Quasi-Emperors could fall! You haven’t even reached Golden Core yet, I can’t help you."

Sister Qi’s voice was devoid of any emotional warmth: "Moreover, it was that old man who set up the seventy-two trials. I once shared in the Star Origin Sect’s glory, how could I help you take a shortcut."

A series of reprimands.

Made Ruan Lan feel a bit ashamed.

Indeed, Sister Qi is a moral benchmark; compared to Sister Qi, I, Ruan Lan, am unworthy to be the Sect Hierarch of Star Origin Sect!

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Ruan Lan heard Sister Qi slowly add: "Therefore, it needs to be doubled."

"..."

Pah, old woman!

Your integrity was eaten by dogs?

How can you face the founding ancestor of the Star Origin Sect?

How can you face my previous admiration for you?

A few mere jars of wine made you lose yourself?

What, you’re helping me take a shortcut, then it’s fine.

Sister Qi, forever a legend!

And so, the two women reached an agreement.

In the living room, Xu Lai couldn’t help but hold his forehead, feeling that leaving the formation chessboard with Ruan Lan might not be a good decision.

Others are influenced for better or worse.

These two women are completely dark; together they are even darker...

"What’s wrong," Ruan Tang asked with concern.

"If Ruan Lan had even a third of your kindness, how great that would be," Xu Lai lamented.

"Did she cause trouble again?"

"Not yet, but soon."

Xu Lai scanned with his divine sense, finding little wine left in the cellar. He took twenty jars of supreme spirit wine from the storage space and placed them in the cellar.

Not only could it satisfy cravings, but it could also most effectively help the artifact spirit of the formation chessboard regain its peak.

After finishing all this, Xu Lai couldn’t help but sigh lightly, just hoping that when Ruan Lan and the chessboard’s artifact spirit venture into the Immortal Domain, they might show some restraint.

"Daddy, I want to soak in a hot spring."

Yiyi jumped into Xu Lai’s arms, her big eyes flashing.

"Okay."

Soaking in a hot spring during winter snowfall is indeed a pleasure.

The spiritual energy hot spring pool was enveloped with a light mist, and Yiyi jumped directly into the pool, causing a large splash.

Ruan Tang first tested the water, confirming the temperature was acceptable before slowly entering the water.

She draped her arms on the edge of the pool, gazing at East Sea City covered in white snow, momentarily lost in thought.

In the city, all kinds of neon lights twinkle, making Mount Haitang, which had little light, seem somewhat out of place, like two different worlds.

One bustling, one tranquil.

Ruan Tang said softly: "I indeed prefer quieter places."

Xu Lai knew his wife’s implication, gently wrapped his right arm around Ruan Tang’s waist under the water, and said warmly:

"As long as you like it, whether it’s the quiet deep mountains or bustling city streets, I will stand by your side."

"Forever?"

"Forever," Xu Lai said solemnly.

"Promises in the world are like stars in the sky, many people can’t keep them, but I believe in you, husband,"

Ruan Tang said tenderly: "Because you never lie to me."

"..."

In the hot spring pool, Xu Yiyi was making water splashes but silently stopped her mischievous feet, feeling somewhat redundant.

"I shouldn’t be in the water, I should be underwater... blub blub."

Xu Yiyi’s body slowly sank into the pool, continuously blowing bubbles, but those wide eyes that weren’t submerged kept watching her dad and mom.

The soak in the hot spring didn’t last long; Xu Lai and Ruan Tang soon returned to their room to rest.

Before sleeping.

Ruan Tang took out a sheet of A4 paper from the dressing table drawer, with neat little characters written all over it.

Xu Lai looked at it: "This is..."

"You were busy with crafting and alchemy a few months ago, I didn’t know what to do, so I helped you decode a few characters."

More than a few, a total of ten Cloud Water Rust Characters!

The A4 paper recorded the eleventh to twentieth of the thirty-six Cloud Water Rust Characters.

The eleventh character that had troubled Xu Lai for months without any clue turned out to be a storage space, quietly lying inside was a blood-red token.
