Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 352 - 354: This is How One Should Be!

"Is that the National Husband, Wang Congming? Little girl, you can't..." Chen Meiling was stunned, shocked to see Wang Dawan climbing the wall and even more so to hear how the little girl was speaking to Wang Congming. Before she could finish her sentence—

THUD!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Congming knelt directly in front of the little girl. "Disciple greets Master," he said immediately.

Wang Congming had actually agreed? Chen Meiling's face was a mask of disbelief, and the onlookers were all dumbfounded. Even Wu Tian felt a flicker of surprise.

Who was Wang Congming? Many claimed he was a good-for-nothing who simply had a good father. If not for his dad, who would call him the National Husband? And yet, no one could deny that Wang Congming's status was far above most people's; he carried himself with an innate sense of superiority. But for a man like that to kneel so easily?

"How can this be?" Chen Meiling murmured, unable to understand.

Wang Congming sighed as he knelt. "I thought it through," he said. "No matter how much I struggle, I'm going to have to kneel anyway. Since I have to kneel sooner or later, why make a fuss from the start? It's like the saying goes: if you're going to be a prostitute, why demand an Archway of Chastity? Ha! If I'm going to play the whore, I'll own it. I'll never pretend I'm not."

The onlookers paused, and upon reflection, they had to admit he had a point. Chen Meiling also nodded blankly. Wang Congming truly was different from most people; his twisted logic, when considered carefully, contained a kernel of profound truth.

Wang Congming's expression turned sorrowful as he looked at the little girl. "Little Master, I'm your disciple now," he pleaded. "Please, ask your father to save my dad. He was reckless before and didn't cherish his opportunities, but please give him another chance. Please, Master." Thinking of his father, who always seemed cold on the outside but was warm within, Wang Congming began to weep, his emotions born from pure filial piety. He then bowed deeply to the little girl.

Perhaps moved by Wang Congming's devotion, the little girl immediately tugged on Wu Tian's sleeve. "Dad, please help."

Wu Tian glanced at his daughter, let out a soft sigh, and then turned his gaze to Wang Congming. Sensing his attention, Wang Congming immediately adopted an expression of desolate helplessness.

Wu Tian shook his head. "That expression... it belongs on a woman, a peerlessly beautiful one at that. For a man to look like that..."

At the rebuke, Wang Congming quickly lowered his head.

"Don't be afraid." Wu Tian looked at the man before him. In front of the media, he was domineering and unrestrained, yet for his father's sake, he was willing to kneel and call a child his master? This man's heart is in the right place. "For my daughter's sake, I will save your father," Wu Tian said calmly, giving Wang Congming his answer. It was as if whatever was happening to Wang Dawan was a trivial affair to him.

"Really? You mean my dad will be okay?" Wang Congming was stunned. He thought of his father's current predicament and then remembered how he had always been a troublemaker as a child. Wang Dawan never hit or scolded him; he just watched. Yes, he was always watching, working while secretly observing his son's growth. At this realization, Wang Congming couldn't help but burst into tears like a child. In this life, so few people truly understood him.

People always said that while internet starlets and beautiful girls were a revolving door in his life, his sworn brothers were as solid as iron. That was because his brothers truly understood him.

The onlookers watched this scene unfold, unsure of what to say. Normally, one would comfort a person who was crying, but they didn't dare. The one crying was Wang Congming. Who would dare approach him?

But the little girl did. Putting on a mature expression, she slowly walked up to him. With her small hand, she gently patted Wang Congming's head and comforted him sweetly, "Disciple, don't cry. Master is here!"

Hearing this, Wang Congming only cried harder. Only one thought echoed in his mind: Dad, do you know how much I've sacrificed for you? You absolutely must appreciate what your son has done!

Wu Tian then asked Chen Meiling for her room number. After she told him, he nodded. "You two, hurry to the room and meet us there." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

With that, Wu Tian, holding the little girl, leaped forty-odd meters into the air. For him, the jump was astonishingly easy. The crowd was left dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit a small watermelon. Wang Congming quickly snapped Chen Meiling out of her stupor, and the two of them scrambled into the hotel.

Holding his daughter with one arm, Wu Tian reached out with the other and plucked Wang Dawan—who was still clinging to the building with his involuntary gecko-like abilities—off the wall. He then entered the room Chen Meiling had indicated.

Soon, they were all gathered inside.

"Dad!" Wang Congming cried out excitedly. But Wang Dawan was still stuck to the wall.

"Mr. Wu Tian, I was wrong," Wang Dawan said, his voice filled with endless regret. "I didn't appreciate the opportunity you gave me. Please, save me now." Wu Tian gave me an Elixir! Why didn't I take it? Instead, I believed in some damned gene potion and ended up like this.

Wang Congming immediately looked to Wu Tian. "Please, Sir, help him now."

The little girl also clenched her small fists. "Go, Dad, go!"

Wu Tian nodded. Using an acupoint-sealing technique, he swiftly tapped a series of points on Wang Dawan's body. "AARGH!" Wang Dawan cried out, spitting up a mouthful of green blood—a viscous mixture of the gene potion and his own fresh blood.

Wang Dawan looked down at himself, exclaiming with joy, "I'm better? I'm better!"

Wu Tian, however, paid him no mind. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already eleven at night. Time to head home. He called Wang Dawan and Wang Congming out of the room and gave Chen Meiling a few words of caution about staying alone in a hotel. Then, without saying anything further to the father and son, he simply turned and left.

If this had happened before, Wang Dawan would have surely fumed, How disrespectful! But now, he merely sighed with admiration. "See? That is the bearing of a true master."

Wang Congming was speechless.

As Wu Tian drove home, the little girl smiled from the passenger seat. "Dad, what did you think of the disciple I took in today?"

"Not very impressive," Wu Tian said, shaking his head.

"How could you say that?" The little girl's face fell. "But his nickname is the National Husband..."

Hearing this, Wu Tian smiled and looked at his daughter seriously. "The world is vast, and the universe is grand. It contains countless realms where True Dragons soar, where the Qiongqi roam, where Demon Kings reign, and where some are even known as Heavenly Emperors. If you're going to accept a disciple, you should choose from among beings like them."

"I understand!" The little girl's eyes shone with boundless fighting spirit. Then, in her high-pitched, childish voice, she declared loudly, "In the future, I will take a True Dragon as my mount and the Qiongqi as my servant! I will have Demon Emperors and Heavenly Emperors as my subordinates! I will prove that I am the most powerful of all! That is how a person should live!"
