Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

At Wu Tian’s house, guards watched over all four directions. A total of 360 Kings of Soldiers were stationed there, and even the Seven Saints of Dragon Country had arrived. When some of the Seven Saints perished, they were naturally replaced by others.

Without much thought, Wu Tian knew who wanted to see him. Within the Dragon Country, there was only one person of such noble status. He ignored the Kings of Soldiers and the Seven Saints of Dragon Country, walking directly into his home. At this moment, he had the authority to do so, and no one dared to accuse him of being impolite.

As soon as he entered, he heard an elderly but resonant voice.

"What an adorable child. May this old man hold you?"

This was followed by the little one’s blunt refusal. "No way! You’re ugly!"

The Lord of the Four Seas, the Monarch of the Dragon Country, wanted to hold the little one, but the child not only refused but also called him ugly. Wu Tian, who had just returned, couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

"Daddy, you’re back?" Seeing Wu Tian, the little one immediately bounded over and leaped straight into his arms.

SLAP! The Lord of the Four Seas felt as if he had actually been slapped across the face. The contrast was just that stark.

"Ahem, ahem..." The Lord of the Four Seas cleared his throat to dispel the awkwardness. "Your home is quite special. Even your pets look different from those in an ordinary household."

The Lord of the Four Seas had arrived an hour before Wu Tian. In that time, he had seen a dog that looked like a Qilin and an incredibly ugly fish that could curse like a sailor. Needless to say, these were not creatures one could find in a normal pet store. With his profound knowledge, the Lord of the Four Seas already had his suspicions about Wu Tian’s pets, but it was still difficult to believe. Seeing the Little Kirin and the Kunpeng had only taken a few minutes; he spent the remaining fifty-odd minutes in a shocked daze.

But where on earth did these pets come from?

The little Phoenix was perched on Wu Tian’s shoulder. He smiled faintly and said, "That is my business. You needn’t concern yourself."

The Lord of the Four Seas gave a hollow chuckle. His status was influential everywhere else, but here, it was utterly useless.

Truthfully, the Lord of the Four Seas hadn’t wanted to seek out Wu Tian. Generally, a nation’s most formidable individual, a peerless talent, would assist the Emperor. But Wu Tian had no interest in such matters whatsoever.

The Monarch was helpless. This time, however, he had no choice but to come. Wu Tian had killed the Emperor of Fusang and the Counselor of Fusang, causing the nation to fall. This was no longer just a personal grudge between Wu Tian and Fusang, nor was it merely a feud between Fusang and the Dragon Country. It had become an international incident.

As a result, the Hezong Country had convened a meeting of the great nations’ Monarchs and had specifically requested that the Lord of the Four Seas bring Wu Tian along. The Hezong Country was an international organization established after the Second World War, dedicated to promoting peaceful cooperation among nations. Its headquarters are in the United States of America, and it now has many member countries. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Monarch got straight to the point and explained the situation to Wu Tian. After a moment’s thought, he added, "Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble. The Hezong Country holds this kind of banquet every few years. The venue is always decorated to be as romantic and beautiful as a wedding."

Wu Tian, busy playing with the little one, just gave a few nonchalant "hmms" in response.

The Monarch was speechless. Anyone else who met him, an elder of his stature, would be overflowing with enthusiasm.

The Lord of the Four Seas desperately wanted to get closer to Wu Tian. The destruction of Fusang had made Wu Tian’s importance to the Dragon Country crystal clear. The Dragon Country could not afford to lose him. Even the most extraordinary individuals from other nations simply could not compare.

The Monarch, desperate to improve their relationship, was forced to make small talk. He suddenly recalled something. "I’ve looked into your marriage records with Qin Yuhan. It seems you haven’t officially registered yet, nor have you held a wedding ceremony, correct?"

Wu Tian shot a cool glance at the Lord of the Four Seas.

Fearing a misunderstanding—after all, while Wu Tian stood there alone, he wielded the power of an entire nation—the Lord of the Four Seas quickly added, "This old man has no other intentions."

"I know." Wu Tian gave a casual smile and shook his head, indicating he didn’t mind.

However, the Monarch’s words made Wu Tian pause and reflect with a pang of emotion. That’s right. The little one is already four, and I still owe her mother a grand, romantic wedding! The marriage registration itself is secondary. What women truly care about is the wedding. My emotional intelligence might be low, but even I know this. You can be careless about anything else, but for a woman, the wedding is absolutely non-negotiable!

A sudden smile touched Wu Tian’s lips. "Will there be many important figures at the Hezong Country event?"

The Monarch nodded, but he was puzzled by the question and asked why.

Wu Tian just smiled and replied, "That’s my business."

The meaning was clear: *You can manage the heavens, the earth, and the very air, but you can’t manage me.* The Lord of the Four Seas felt utterly helpless. He had only been with Wu Tian for ten minutes, but he already felt like he was going to vomit blood from the frustration.

The Lord of the Four Seas decided to leave, but he paused at the door. "You must remember, the Hezong Country assembly is tomorrow. Also, there is something this old man has always wanted to ask you."

"Ask," Wu Tian’s tone remained as indifferent as ever.

"Have I offended you in some way? Why do I get the feeling that you are so dismissive of me?"

Wu Tian hadn’t expected such a question, but there was no reason not to answer. "Have you fulfilled your duties?"

The Lord of the Four Seas was stunned.

Wu Tian closed the door, leaving the Monarch standing at the entrance, silent for a long time.

A King of Soldiers approached respectfully. "Sir, we should head back."

The Lord of the Four Seas finally snapped out of his trance. He sighed and asked the soldier, "Tell me, as the Lord of the Four Seas, have I fulfilled my duties?"

"This..." The King of Soldiers was at a loss for words.

Has he fulfilled his duties? During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there was the treacherous Zhao Gao. Emperor Wu of Han was a wise ruler, yet he was deceived by Jiang Chong into killing his own son. The great Tang Taizong Li Shimin was renowned, yet he chose Li Zhi to succeed the throne! On the surface, the Dragon Country seems peaceful today, but is it really? What about the schools? Is there a single one without bullying? And the companies? Are employees ever treated fairly? And what about... The list of such problems was endless. They had always existed.

So, has the Lord of the Four Seas truly fulfilled his duties? The King of Soldiers didn’t dare to answer.

"I... I understand now," the Lord of the Four Seas murmured, a look of realization dawning on his face. He then turned and left.

That night, the Lord of the Four Seas did not rest. He stayed up, poring over dossiers from all over the country, searching for any injustices. He looked for any yamen that might have imprisoned an innocent person and wasted away their youth, for any official’s son who might be using his family’s power to bully others... That night, the Lord of the Four Seas did not sleep a wink.

「The next day!」

「The Grand Assembly of Hezong Country!」

The Monarch, having not rested, set off immediately. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something extraordinary was about to happen.
