Chapter 377: I'll Just Roll Away
Half a minute after Zhao Ling left, Qian Xunji finally reacted and gave his father a thumbs-up.
"Father, they say that every wicked man will be punished by his own wickedness. Zhao Ling needs you to punish him. Otherwise, he'll become too proud for his own good."
"What's the big deal? He took my precious granddaughter away from me. Isn't it natural for him to call me grandpa?"
"Just wait; he'll have to call me grandpa sooner or later. He can't avoid it," Qian Daoliu chuckled calmly, a hint of pride on his face.
Qian Xunji felt that his father was really too generous. His precious granddaughter was taken away, and yet he wasn't angry at all? He had always worried about how much his father doted on Xue'er.
If she knew that her precious granddaughter was harmed by Zhao Ling, would she faint from anger?
But now, he realized that his father was much more open-minded than he had imagined, which felt a bit unreasonable.
"Father, Xue'er was harmed by Zhao Ling, and you aren't angry at all. Is this still you?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Qian Daoliu didn't even raise his head. After pouring himself some tea, he began sipping it slowly. "You know what? This Biluochun tea is quite good."
"How can I not be angry? Zhao Ling is not much older than me. In the end, he actually harmed Xue'er. Isn't that like an old cow eating young grass?"
Qian Xunji was heartbroken at the thought of his young daughter being taken away by that guy, Zhao Ling.
"Are you stupid? Who is Zhao Ling? Let me tell you this: with Zhao Ling's current strength, he is at least a first-level god.
At his level, age is no longer important. For him, lifespan is almost infinite.
Not to mention being less than a hundred years old—even if he were tens of thousands of years old, he would still look like he's in his twenties, while you and I will eventually turn into piles of yellow earth."
As Qian Daoliu said this, he sighed secretly. He had once longed to become a god but didn't have the ability. Now, he only hoped that his granddaughter could become a real god.
After becoming a god, she may not necessarily live a good life in the legendary world of gods. After all, there are stronger gods in that world.
Therefore, he hoped that even after his granddaughter became a god, she would still have someone to rely on, someone who could always protect her.
And Zhao Ling was the support Qian Daoliu had chosen for his granddaughter's future.
Although Zhao Ling looked older and was quite a playboy, what did it matter? Isn't it enough that his granddaughter likes him?
As for Zhao Ling's philandering, Qian Daoliu felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Although he was a playboy, seeing that he had been loyal to Bibi Dong for decades suggested that he wasn't the type to abandon her after having his fun.
Seeing that Qian Xunji was still conflicted, Qian Daoliu took another sip of tea before speaking slowly.
"Relax, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We just need to trust Xue'er's choice. There's no need to worry about this or that.
Now I just want to know when they'll give me a great-grandson."
"..." Qian Xunji was rendered speechless. His father was indeed more open-minded than he was. In that case, he should also be more open-minded.
What else could he do? His daughter had chosen this path herself, so he might as well let her go on her way.
After leaving the worship hall, Zhao Ling returned to Dong'er's boudoir.
When he found that both girls were fast asleep, he raised his hand and gently stroked their heads.
Then he left them a note and flew away to Poseidon Island.
In the Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon was teaching her daughter how to practice.
Now, her daughter's strength had reached level 82. For a girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she had certainly inherited her father's exceptional talent.
At this moment, Zhao Ling appeared and smiled at the mother and daughter.
"Xi'er, wife, dear daughter, I'm here..."
Poseidon and Zhao Mengyan turned to look at Zhao Ling at the same time. After a moment, Zhao Mengyan walked straight out of the Temple of Poseidon, striding with sparks and lightning.
Zhao Ling, confused, said, "My dear daughter, your father is here. Why are you leaving just like that?"
Zhao Mengyan turned around and rolled her eyes at her father before replying without thinking, "Dad, every time you came to Poseidon Island, didn't you ask me to go play with Sister Xiaobai and Sister Hai Nu? Is there anything wrong with me leaving on my own?"
After saying that, Zhao Mengyan left the Temple of Poseidon without looking back.
Watching their daughter's retreating figure, Zhao Ling and Poseidon shared an awkward laugh.
It seemed that every time Zhao Ling visited Poseidon Island, he sent their daughter out to play so she wouldn't be a third wheel in the Poseidon Temple. Now, their daughter had become accustomed to it.
Zhao Ling walked up to Poseidon, hugged her around the waist, and said with a mischievous smile, "Xi'er, since our daughter has given us some space to be alone, shouldn't we...?"
"Stop it, don't touch me. It's your fault that you always send our daughter away when you come. Now she's quite estranged from you."
Poseidon slapped Zhao Ling's wandering hands away and then sniffed his body gently before speaking.
"Hubby, besides the scent of Sister Dong'er, why do you smell like another woman this time? It seems like you've been with a virgin girl."
"Uh..." Zhao Ling couldn't help but admire this girl's nose; she could actually smell this out.
So, he told Bo Saixi about Hu Liena.
Poseidon immediately showed envy.
"Sister Dong'er is so lucky to have a disciple like her to protect her from attacks.
It would be great if I could take in a disciple like that. Then you wouldn't have to bother Xi'er every time you come to Poseidon Island.
Hubby, why don't you take in the sea girl? Otherwise, Xi'er will be too miserable. Can't you be more considerate of her?"
"No, absolutely not. I'm not interested in her anyway. Isn't my Xi'er much more fragrant than her?"
After saying that, Zhao Ling picked up Poseidon by the waist and walked toward the blanket made of animal skins.
Alas... Poseidon could only sigh.
The only ones her husband liked on this Sea God Island were her and the little girl named Bai Xiu Xiu from the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.
But Bai Xiu Xiu was still far from reaching the transformation threshold.
For this reason, Poseidon silently despised the system that Zhao Ling seemed to have.
Why could it add years to the so-called imperial beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?
But why didn't it extend the life limit for that little Bai Xiu Xiu?
If it added another 50,000 or 60,000 years, she could definitely reach the transformation standard. By then, she could take that little girl as her disciple, and then...
What a pity. That system is really double-standard and doesn't understand her difficulties at all...
