Chapter 2: A Chance Encounter with Nalan Yanran, Yan'er's "Prey"!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the entrance of the village and earning 10,000 points!]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for signing in by the river and earning 10,000 points!]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for signing in at the village toilet, earning 10,000 points and one Qi Gathering Powder!]

...

It took about half an hour for Qi Fan to run around the village and sign in at many places. Especially at the toilet, he even got a Qi Gathering Powder!

Qi Fan:

What does the system have to do with toilets and Qi Gathering?

Apart from random check-ins, the system also marked several fixed check-in points.

But one of these points is in the back mountain... which is a forest with monsters!

Qi Fan, lacking confidence, didn't dare to go there immediately. He decided to wait for a better time.

Under the curious gazes of the villagers, Qi Fan ran around the village for nearly an hour before finally stopping.

Sitting under a shady tree, Qi Fan quickly opened the panel to check.

[Daughter Development System Host: Qi Fan]

[Daughter: Qi Yan'er]

[Cultivation: Five Star Fighter, Daughter: Fifth Stage of Fighting Qi]

[Kung Fu, fighting skills: none]

[Elixir: Gathering Qi Powder]

[Points: 150,000]

The status panel was surprisingly clean.

Thanks to his daughter, his cultivation spirit had advanced to a five-star fighter.

But aside from that, there was nothing else except points.

As long as he had points, he could protect his daughter...

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away from the village, in Luofan Village.

Two figures in luxurious attire were leisurely strolling down the road.

The moment they spotted Qi Yan'er, their attention was immediately drawn.

In broad daylight, a young girl, no more than seven or eight years old, was walking alone.

And she was so beautiful and adorable!

Dangerous! Extremely dangerous!

"What a beautiful little sister, what's your name?"

The woman in a blue dress, holding a longsword, smiled curiously at Qi Yan'er.

Qi Yan'er blinked her large watery eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her:

"My name is Qi Yan'er. Sister, who are you?"

The woman in blue, Nalan Yanran, smiled and introduced herself:

"I'm Nalan Yanran. Yan'er, why are you alone? Where are your adults?"

"I came out to play by myself."

Qi Yan'er blinked innocently and inspected Nalan Yanran from head to toe.

The gaze from her big eyes seemed like she was assessing, evaluating!

It was akin to a hunter sizing up its prey!

Being stared at like this by a little girl made Nalan Yanran feel a bit embarrassed:

"Yan'er, where are you headed?"

"I'm going to find my mother."

Yan'er's eyes sparkled with longing:

"Sister Yanran, where are you going?"

"We..."

"Yanran!"

Before Nalan Yanran could continue, she was interrupted by the young man beside her:

"Forget the reason we're out here."

"Who are you?"

Qi Yan'er looked at the young man indignantly, not hiding her dislike.

Nalan Yanran, seeing her cute demeanor, couldn't help but smile:

"Yan'er, don't mind him. This is my senior brother Mo Li. He's always like this. Pay him no mind."

Mo Li: (⊙o⊙)?

"Humph!"

Yan'er snorted softly and turned her head away.

Nalan Yanran looked somewhat concerned seeing Qi Yan'er alone:

"Yan'er, does your father know you're out here? We're headed to Wutan City. Perhaps we're going in the same direction. Shall we accompany you?"

Hearing this, Yan'er shook her head:

"I don't know where my mother is. Sister Yanran, is Wutan City fun?"

"Well... it should be."

Seeing Qi Yan'er suddenly perk up, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

Her mother's whereabouts were unknown, yet she ventured out alone!

What was her father doing all this time?

The mention of fun excited Qi Yan'er even more, and she cutely held Nalan Yanran's hand:

"That's great! I'm going to Wutan City to find my mother!"

"No!"

Mo Li's voice came from beside them:

"Yanran, you don't understand the purpose of our trip. What's the point of bringing along a little girl?"

"What's the problem?"

Nalan Yanran was a bit impatient:

"Except for Master, no one can stop me, Nalan Yanran, from doing what I want, including you!"

Mo Li was speechless.

He couldn't argue with her arrogance.

After all, Nalan Yanran was the direct disciple of the sect master, while he was just a follower with slightly better talent.

"Yan'er, don't mind him. Let's go."

With that, Nalan Yanran took Qi Yan'er's hand and continued walking.

Qi Yan'er turned back and smirked triumphantly:

"Just wait and see~"

"Hehehe!"

Nalan Yanran couldn't help but laugh at Qi Yan'er's adorable demeanor.

However, Mo Li's face behind them turned extremely dark because of her laughter.

Humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

In more than twenty years of his life, this was the first time he felt so humiliated.

And it was all because of a little girl, no more than six or seven years old!

At that moment, Mo Li looked at Nalan Yanran's graceful back, and a surge of madness and greed flashed in his eyes.

"Yan'er, does your father know you're out here?"

"Of course he knows!"

Yan'er grinned proudly:

"I left him a message before leaving!"

Nalan Yanran was speechless.

This father and daughter were indeed something else. One dared to leave a message, and the other felt assured!

Her father must be incredibly magnanimous!

"That's it. What's your father's name?"

Nalan Yanran was very curious about the identity of this remarkable father.

"Well..."

Qi Yan'er rolled her eyes proudly:

"Sister Yanran, I can't tell you that."

"Just know that my father is the most powerful person in the world. By the way, he's nicknamed Emperor Fan!"

"The most powerful person? Emperor Fan!"

Dou Di?

Nalan Yanran's pretty face was filled with astonishment upon hearing this.

This father really knew how to humor children!

"The most powerful! Emperor Fan! Hahaha~"

Behind them, Mo Li burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"You're laughing so hard!"

Qi Yan'er turned around and scolded him.

"You..."

Mo Li was about to retort when Nalan Yanran coldly interrupted:

"Mo Li, you're already grown. Can't you show some respect? Why get upset over a child?"

"I..."

Mo Li was left speechless once again.

He was so infuriated that his nostrils flared.

In his over twenty years of life, this was the first time he'd been humiliated like this.

And it was all because of a little girl!

Mo Li was on the verge of losing his temper.

He could either use force against a child or suppress his anger, suffocating in humiliation.

Next, Nalan Yanran asked Qi Yan'er more questions.

However, Qi Yan'er was clever, evading all queries about Qi Fan skillfully.

Her father was already invincible and had finally found a peaceful place. How could he allow others to disturb him?

Oh, and she forgot to prepare breakfast for her father this morning. But he...

He wouldn't starve to death!

Back in Luofan Village.

"Yawn..."

Qi Fan looked at the kitchen, which he hadn't visited in a long time, with a bitter smile:

"Oh~ Here I am again, living alone..."
