Chapter 7: A Peaceful Life
"Papa, Christine's here" Christine was the first one to break the silence between them.
Seeing Christine talk, he couldn't hold it anymore.
He quickly hugged the young lady.
"I-i'm sorry, Papa is not there to protect you." He said.
"But it's not Papa's fault, it's the bad guy's fault. I'm not angry with Papa, I love you Papa" Christine replied while crying.
They just hugged each other while crying all day long, they haven't even moved from their spot.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reuniting with his daughter, Main Quest: Reunion has been completed.]
Bautista heard the system's mechanical voice in his ears, then he looked at the young girl sleeping on his lap.
He caressed her hair before lifting her up.
"I should bring her inside, she's not a cultivator so she might catch a cold."
He then walked towards his new house.
Speaking of his new house, he renovated his home to his liking. It is a two story apartment with 2 rooms on the second floor, the rooms has a toilet and bath, and a balcony.
On the first floor, it has a large living room, a toilet and bath, a kitchen, dirty kitchen, and a music room.
Bautista headed straight to the second floor and soon reached her daughter's room he prepared in advance.
The room's interior has pink walls, pink bed, and pink bedside table, also a pink cabinet. Her daughter's favorite color is pink like any other young girls, so he decorated her daughter's room in full pink.
He entered her daughter's room and he gently placed down Christine on the bed, he patted her head and kissed her forehead before leaving.
He went straight to the first floor kitchen to grab a lemon juice, he then headed outside his house and stayed at the courtyard to cultivate.
"System, what do i do now?"
[Ding! Nothing really host, since you've found your daughter and have a better condition compared to your past life, you should spend the time raising your daughter and teach him about the world.]
"So basically living a slow life?"
[Yes host, you racked your brains and broke your bones just to raise your daughter back then. But now you can take it easy.]
"I should do that then...but wait, aren't you a system? Shouldn't you give me quest like travel the world or something?"
[Host, I am your Daughter-Raising System, you can get rewards by being a good father to your daughter.]
"I see, then how about my daughter? Does she have a system too?"
[I sensed another system existence inside her, a very familiar existence indeed. It should be the "Good Daughter System".]
"Seems like we're on a path of living a slow life" he sighed before looking up at the stars.
"It's not bad to live like this either"
Bautista then continued to cultivate, because of his sudden breakthrough of multiple major realms in a day, though his foundation is strong, it is considered average. So he took his time consolidating his cultivation and strengthening his foundation further.
[Ding! Host your daughter is awake.]
Bautista opened his eyes, and headed towards the second and his daughter's room.
He opened the door and saw his daughter's messed up hair.
"Good morning Papa!" Christine saw Bautista at the door and greeted him. She noticed her messy hair and she tidied it up.
"What do you want to eat for breakfast?" Bautista asked.
"Papa, I want hotdogs and eggs" Christine said excitingly but soon revealed a troubled expression. "But there's no hotdogs in this world".
Hearing his daughter's said voice, he approached him and sat beside her. "It's okay, daddy will buy hotdogs for you."
Christine's eyes lit up, "really?" She looked at Bautista eagerly.
"Hahaha, of course." Bautista laughed.
"System, open the shop"

Without hesitation he bought all items from the shop, aside from these he, also bought cooking oil and seasonings.
[Purchase successfull, please check your item in your personal inventory.]
Bautista then stood up, "Wait here, I'll make breakfast."
"Okay Papa, uhm Papa are you a cultivator?" Christine asked.
Bautista stopped walking and turned his head towards Christine.
"Papa is a cultivator, and a very powerful one" Bautista said before heading downstairs.
"Papa is a powerful cultivator" Christine's eyes lit up, she likes to read cult novels and the number of books she had read is no less than a hundred.
But after the initial excitement, she looked down and revealed a sad face. "But i want to be a cultivator too, Then i want to be a good daughter."
[Hello Christine, congratulations for activating the Good Daughter System.]
Christine stared at the blue screen with shock, his originally sad face was replaced with shock.
"A System!" She instantly perked up.
"I'll keep this a secret for now, I'm sure Papa will be surprised if I cultivate faster than him.

Ultra Hive, ??????
[Brother, how's things going on your end?.]
[Ahh, here we are sister, He's quite a good father, he treats his daughter very well in this life.]
[I see brother, welp... I'll try to lead her daughter in a straight way.]
[Perhaps we are going to chat here more often, sister.]
[I hope so.]
[For a slow and peaceful life, brother.]
[For a quiet and mundane life, sister.]
Unknowingly to Bautista and Christine, their systems actually considered one another as siblings.

Bautista's House
"Christine, breakfast is ready!" Bautista shouted as he placed the dishes on the table.
"Coming, Papa!" Christine replied, and a series of thumps can be heard in the stairs.
