Xu Fan took a step across and stood at the doorway.

His voice, though gentle, contained an undeniable authority.

As the former Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, Xu Fan’s thousands of years as an Immortal Venerable infused his words with a natural dignity, able to turn clouds with a flip of his hand and bring rain with a turn, his commands universally obeyed.

Xu Yixue began to look at Xu Fan anew.

When she had seen Xu Fan a few days ago, he had been disheveled, with a scruffy beard, messy hair, and a spiritless demeanor—the very image of a dejected prodigal son.

But now, Xu Fan had a regal and handsome appearance, filled with an air of nobility and mystery.

It was Xu Fan’s handsome features that had once attracted the youthful and beautiful Xu Yixue six years ago. She had thought that the down-and-out Xu Fan had long since been lost to decadence, but unexpectedly, just two days had passed, and the once spirited Xu Fan was back.

Moreover, it seemed that Xu Fan was more profound, more mysterious, and more charismatic than when he was the young master of the Xu Family.

Could adversity truly lead a man to grow and change?

Xu Yixue watched the spirited Xu Fan and secretly wondered.

At that moment, Tongtong saw his father and immediately climbed onto Xu Fan like an octopus, waving his little arms.

Resting against Xu Fan’s chest, Tongtong affectionately rubbed himself and then said to Xu Fan, “Daddy, let’s go home with Mommy.”

Before Xu Fan could reply, Xu Yixue hurriedly said to Little Tongtong, “Tongtong, be good, Daddy still has things to do and can’t look after Tongtong. Be good and go home with Mommy.”

“Sorry, but I happen to be free recently. Baby Tongtong, you can stay with Daddy for as long as you want,” Xu Fan winked and said with a smile to Tongtong.

“Yay, Tongtong doesn’t want to leave Daddy, Tongtong wants Daddy to hold me high, Daddy to feed me,” Tongtong said excitedly, sticking out his tongue at Xu Yixue while shaking his head.

“Xu Fan, what do you mean by this?” Xu Yixue glared fiercely at Xu Fan, her eyes brimming with murderous intent. Just when she was about to take Tongtong away, Xu Fan came back to cause more trouble.

“I mean nothing by it. I’m not busy, can’t I spend time with my daughter?” Xu Fan spread his hands indifferently in response.

“The daughter is mine, and I will take Tongtong with me. You shall not interfere for any reason,” Xu Yixue stood her ground like a lioness, seemingly eager to bite Xu Fan.

“Have you obtained Tongtong’s consent? Let’s ask Tongtong now if she wants to leave her father,” Xu Fan held his daughter in his arms and gently rubbed her cute little head before asking Tongtong, “Tongtong, do you want to leave Daddy?”

“No, Tongtong doesn’t want to leave Daddy.” Tongtong waved his little hands, his little head already nuzzling into Xu Fan’s chest. His voice slowly took on a crying tone, “Tongtong wants to stay with Daddy forever.”

“Tongtong! Then do you want to leave Mommy?” Xu Yixue looked at Tongtong, her voice full of maternal love, and opened her arms wide, offering a hug to Tongtong.

“Mommy, Tongtong doesn’t want to leave Mommy,” Tongtong, hearing his mother’s words, wriggled out of Xu Fan’s embrace, struggling to throw himself into Xu Yixue’s arms.

Xu Fan, worried that the little girl would twist her arm from struggling, gently handed Tongtong over to Xu Yixue.

“Good girl, Mommy’s love for you wasn’t in vain,” Xu Yixue smiled contentedly, holding Tongtong and bursting with joy.

“Xu Yixue, where are you planning to take Tongtong?” Xu Fan asked Xu Yixue.

“Mind your own business. My daughter, I can take her wherever I want, and wherever it is, we won’t see you again,” Xu Yixue said arrogantly as she picked up Tongtong and gave her a kiss. “Tongtong, let’s go!”

But Tongtong was also a sharp and ingenious little sprite. Upon hearing Xu Yixue’s words, she immediately understood, and her tears began to fall like rain.

“I won’t go, I won’t go, Tongtong wants Daddy, Tongtong doesn’t want to leave Daddy.” Tongtong struggled in Xu Yixue’s arms, her face streaked with tears like pear blossoms drenched by the rain, crying and fussing.

Xu Yixue gently put Tongtong down, and as soon as she touched the ground, she ran to Xu Fan’s side, hugging his leg, crying and stealing glances at Xu Yixue.

“Mommy, please don’t take me away, I’ll be good from now on, okay?” Tongtong pleaded pitifully from behind Xu Fan’s legs, looking at Xu Yixue.

“No, Tongtong must go with Mommy,” Xu Yixue said firmly.

At this point, Xu Fan spoke up, “Why must Tongtong go with you?”

“Because Tongtong is my daughter.”

“Haven’t you heard that the money in the ATM belongs to the cardholder?”

“You!” Xu Yixue, almost choked with anger by Xu Fan’s words.

Although the remark by Xu Fan was an old joke, it hit Xu Yixue’s weak spot hard.

Anger turned Xu Yixue’s face red, her chest heaving, and her eyes, now filled with rage, fixed on Xu Fan.

“Xu Yixue, what’s wrong with my taking care of Tongtong? Can’t you see how much she loves me? Do you really want Tongtong to grow up without a father by her side?”

“Yes, I don’t want Tongtong to be without a father’s love, but what can she enjoy with you? Look at the place you used to live in, a shanty like the slums. With Tongtong, you’re eating junk food from the streets. Tongtong is so young; if her health deteriorates in the future, can you take responsibility? Only with me can Tongtong grow up healthy,” Yixue unleashed all the words she had been suppressing and flung them at Xu Fan.

“So being with you means living in luxury, but being with me means suffering?” Xu Fan said with a wry smile.

If it had been the Xu Fan of the past, this might have been possible, but now, he was the reborn Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor.

Tongtong was his daughter, and he wouldn’t let her suffer even the slightest injustice.

He intended to let Tongtong enjoy the best of what this world had to offer, and even what it didn’t have, he could find for her from the vast expanse of the heavens.

As long as his daughter was happy, he, the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, would shatter the void to pluck the sun, moon, and stars from the sky just to win a smile from her.

The idea that he couldn’t provide for Tongtong was laughable to Xu Fan.

“Not only will my daughter not suffer with me, but I will also make her ten times healthier than an ordinary person, and give her a happy childhood,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“Psh, you can make Tongtong ten times healthier? Do you think you are a doctor or a physician?” Xu Yixue scoffed dismissively.

“I am merely an alchemist,” Xu Fan replied softly.

“Alchemist? What nonsense, that’s probably just made up to trick kids,” Xu Yixue curled her lip, not believing a word.

Xu Fan had not yet replied when he saw the slightly ajar door being slowly pushed open.

Lu Chennong, carrying two large boxes, walked in while speaking.

“Master Xu, I’ve found all the herbs we need. When do we start making the elixir?”
