Right as Free-and-Easy was about to call for food, Lu Yunqing arrived. His sudden appearance had already caught everyone's attention; he also took this opportunity to chat with Free-and-Easy and the others.

This situation made some people understand even more that in Lu Yunqing's eyes, Free-and-Easy et al held a very important position. Otherwise, even if his sudden arrival was strange, it wouldn't be possible for him to ask personally.

"What’s wrong, Free-and-Easy Is there not enough food I’ll have someone bring more over." Lu Yunqing didn’t directly ask at first; he only stared blankly when seeing the empty plates on Free-and-Easy's table and immediately made arrangements for another round of dishes to be served.

"It’s not enough. Trouble Master Clan Leader to send a bit more, otherwise it still won't be enough." Free-and-Easy said.

"Alright then, I’ll have them send over more." Lu Yunqing was somewhat puzzled; they had already eaten an entire table and another one would surely be enough. How could there not be enough He heard that General Nan Gong et al eat a little bit as well, but he hadn’t expected it to be this much.

Fifth Chapter - Daughter

"Don't just say a bit more; at least another few tables of dishes. The food doesn't need to be too high-quality, ordinary will do—this little glutton is just good at eating and isn’t picky." Free-and-Easy smiled and then patted ChiChi who was still licking the plates.

"You mean that all this stuff was eaten by this little girl" Lu Yunqing looked a bit surprised as he stared at ChiChi. From what Free-and-Easy said, it seemed to be implying that this young girl had already eaten everything in front of them.

This little girl looked only one or two years old; how could she possibly eat so much You're kidding me

"Don't look at her small size. She can finish eating all the food here, and I asked for several tables just to slightly fill up her stomach." Free-and-Easy smiled as he said that. He knew Lu Yunqing would have this doubt; it was natural to think so.

"That’s impossible." Lu Yunqing looked at ChiChi—could such a small body contain all that food

"If you don’t mind the palace food being eaten up, I wouldn't mind showing you her eating capacity." Free-and-Easy smiled and patted ChiChi's head.

"Who is she" Lu Yunqing felt that there was no need for Free-and-Easy to lie to him; he didn't continue with this topic but instead asked who ChiChi was. Her sudden appearance had been somewhat strange, so he was also curious about it.

"My daughter." Free-and-Easy said casually.

“…” Lu Yunqing fell silent and the feelings of Solitary Star et al were a bit odd as well; introducing ChiChi as his daughter like that was indeed strange.

"You already have a daughter Who is her mother" After staring blankly for a moment, Lu Yunqing asked while looking at the girls nearby.

"Of course it's me," Miss First said first, letting everyone else know they didn't need to speak up as well.

"Go go, she’s an adopted daughter. She has nothing to do with them." Free-and-Easy said in a bad mood—although I call her my daughter, that doesn’t necessarily mean she is biological.

"Adopted, but I’m still her mother," Miss First said seriously—adoption or not, I can still be considered a mother.

“…” Free-and-Easy fell silent.

“Yes, we are too!” Nangong Xuxin followed up.

“…”

"ChiChi…" ChiChi called out to Solitary Star, who didn’t speak up—seeming as if she was saying that it's her. This made the other girls feel speechless; this little creature and Free-and-Easy are really of one kind, favoritism.

However, everyone seemed to notice that ChiChi only called out “daddy,” but otherwise wouldn't call anyone else by name, just as she had been doing all along.

"So it’s an adopted daughter. But how do I feel like she's different from ordinary children" Lu Yunqing asked.

"She is a demon beast," Free-and-Easy replied directly without any concealment.

"What A demon beast" Lu Yunqing was stunned for a moment—there were many possibilities he had thought of, but the idea that ChiChi could be a demon beast didn’t even cross his mind. Could there really exist such a demon beast

"Don't ask me why she’s like this; I don’t know either. Do you" Free-and-Easy knew what Lu Yunqing was thinking—such an unusual type of demon beast probably no one had seen before, and because it's so peculiar, he wouldn't mind telling him since no one would understand anyway.

"This… I’ll have to look into it to find out; truly quite strange," Lu Yunqing shook his head with a bitter smile. How am I supposed to answer your question when even I don’t know Perhaps only the heavens know.

And it was because XiXi was a妖獸that Luo Yunqing felt that her appearance wasn't too bizarre, at least not compared to how she looked now. It didn't matter much.

"Demons who can take human form usually have at least Saint Level Late Stage strength. Why does she seem so weak" Luo Yunqing was quite curious about this and wanted to understand XiXi's true power.

"It's not just that she seems weak; she really is weak, with no offensive abilities. She can only eat," said Xianyao. However, he didn't mention one thing: XiXi could eat anything, which was a very special kind of eating.

“Oh, interesting… But it seems like anything can happen to you.” Luo Yunqing smiled and wasn’t too concerned about this. He chatted leisurely with Xianyao and the others, as there wasn't much else for him to do right now. He was quite curious about Xianyao’s situation in the past year.

What Qi Bupo is Xianyao's uncle-in-law Although they were sworn brothers, since Qi Bupo had acknowledged it, that meant this relationship existed. This was a good thing.

Although Qi Bupo belonged to the Demon Realm, in the perspective of those at the top, what did the Demon Realm matter As long as something benefitted them, they would accept it; they wouldn’t care about any Demon Realm nonsense.

The so-called righteous people who wanted to uphold justice were merely trying to balance the growth of the Demon Realm. If things really went against each other, they would have already gone to war and destroyed one another long ago. This was a political game between those at the top, something ordinary people couldn’t comprehend or overthink. Xianyao never bothered with such thoughts.

Luo Yunqing only knew that if Xianyao had good relations with Qi Bupo's family, it would be very beneficial for his own clan. He was increasingly finding Xianyao to be a lucky star whose connections were everywhere.

What he didn’t know yet was that Xianyao also had an even bigger connection. If he did, he’d immediately step down as the head of the family and beg Xianyao to take over regardless if Xianyao agreed or not.

Next, Luo Yunqing chatted with everyone else, including the eldest Miss and a few others. The eldest Miss and her companions were now core members of their clan, clearly showing their importance in everyone’s eyes.

He also wanted to know if they had any intentions of leaving soon since Xianyao was back. If that happened, he would feel his heart couldn’t handle it.

Luckily, they weren't planning on leaving immediately and would stay for several more years. Although they might leave afterward, this wasn’t an immediate departure, which was already satisfactory to him.

Every year they stayed here meant another year of Flowing Stone Country's expansion. Based on their speed, within a few years, Flowing Stone Country would have the territory of a major nation, which he thought was the best possible outcome and quite satisfied with.

Having the territory of a major nation was enough; then they could slowly develop and govern it, which fit Luo Family's development path best. If things happened too quickly, other forces might encroach and cause trouble.

This was an inevitable situation: when a force developed too rapidly, others would naturally worry about their interests being invaded. Unless one had the confidence to sweep across the world, they’d have to slow down or even halt their expansion; they couldn’t just think only about expanding.

After several years, if the eldest Miss and her companions achieved everything Luo Yunqing wanted, he would prepare for rest and consolidation of the clan’s foundation. This might take decades, belonging to the next generation's agenda. Then even finding them again wouldn't be immediate; there was no need to worry about that now.

Therefore, this outcome made Luo Yunqing quite satisfied!

A bit later, after chatting some more, Luo Yunqing left. During this time, he also found out from Xianyao that what he said about XiXi’s eating was indeed true; her appetite could be measured in oceans.

Several tables of dishes were brought up, but everyone only ate a little while the rest was devoured by XiXi at an incredibly fast pace. The strangest thing was how her small belly barely bulged, indicating there was still plenty of room for more food.

Now even if Luo Yunqing didn't know that XiXi was a妖獸, he'd have no choice but to believe it; humans couldn’t fit in so much food. No human stomach could hold such an amount.

Towards the end, Luo Yunqing specially told Xianyao: "After we're done here, come to my study room. I need to talk about something with you."

There were some things he couldn’t discuss in public that made him anxious; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Xianyao to meet so soon.

In fact, Xianyao had already guessed these matters beforehand. It must be something related to alchemy since a year had passed and the medicinal pills prepared earlier were almost depleted. Although they could still hold out for another one or two years, as the head of the family, such preparations weren’t enough; more was needed.

Especially after going through the incident of being kidnapped, he felt that important matters like this should be prepared without delay, and he needed to stockpile decades worth of supplies.

Hence, after that day, Xianyao spent all his time alchemizing non-stop. The eldest Miss got so annoyed she went to reason with Luo Yunqing about it.

Xianyao’s stay in Flowing Moon City wouldn’t be long; he had plans to go to the Free-and-Easy School with Black Snow, and this short period was already being consumed by alchemy work. He barely had time for fun outings with them, so of course she would feel upset.

Originally, she planned on going out drinking with Xianyao; yes, that was very important—no one else could drink with her but him.

Of course, this was after some time. After talking to Luo Yunqing, Xianyao returned to his Prince’s Manor, which belonged to him but he had never visited before.

Apart from the Lone Star sisters who came with him, Bell and her sister also arrived along with Zhuque Thunderbolt and others upon hearing about it. After catching up on recent events, Xianyao invited them to stay and told them that this place was their home as well, where they could come anytime without hesitation.

Free-and-Easy pulled out his Luo Family identity jade pendant which should serve as proof."Huh That’s a Luo...
