Invincible Dad-Chapter 809: Yu Guiwan, Source of All Filth

"Hmm?" Ruan Tang smiled and looked at her sister.

"Quick, run!"

Ruan Lan’s face changed slightly, her elder sister’s smile carried a hint of danger. She quickly took her niece to the backyard to make a snowman.

"Honey, what did you want to say?" Xu Lai gently held those soft hands and asked with a smile.

"What Yiyi just said..."

"I understand, our daughter must have misheard."

"What I wanted to say is, maybe Yiyi didn’t mishear."

Ruan Tang hugged Xu Lai tightly and whispered, "I really do miss you."

"..."

Xu Lai was taken aback, completely not expecting his usually reserved wife to express her love and longing so directly.

He wrapped his arms around the woman who tugged at his heartstrings and said softly, "I miss you too."

"How much?"

"A little more than you miss me."

"You sweet talker," Ruan Tang playfully scolded.

"Hahaha."

Xu Lai rested his head on Ruan Tang’s shoulder, looked out the window, and said with a bit of emotion, "It’s snowing again."

"Yes, it’s snowing."

Winter had arrived.

A heavy snow fell over East Sea City.

Before long, the entire city was wrapped in a blanket of white, and young people and children came to the open spaces, happily making snowmen.

After Xu Lai and Ruan Tang shared some whispered words, their daughter pulled them into the snowman-making team.

In the backyard, there were three snowmen, two big and one small.

Yiyi’s little face was flushed, "This is Daddy and Mommy, and this is me! Our family will always be together."

She scratched her head and made a little snowman, placing it on the big snowman’s belly, exclaiming, "This is the little sister."

"Maybe it’s a little brother," Ruan Tang gently laughed as she touched her belly.

"Really?"

Yiyi looked at Xu Lai with big twinkling eyes, "Daddy, will it be a brother or a sister?"

"It should be a... little brother."

Xu Lai extended his divine sense, and just like before, he couldn’t detect anything, but his deductions proposed a slight cause and effect.

"A brother is okay too."

Yiyi was not disappointed; instead, she crouched down and continued making the snowman.

Xu Lai and Ruan Tang exchanged glances, listening as their daughter continued, "We can always have a sister later."

Ruan Tang: "..."

Xu Lai: "..."

He looked at his wife, who widened her eyes beautifically, "Xu, don’t even think about it!"

Xu Lai spread his hands, indicating his powerlessness to his daughter.

"Hehehe."

Ruan Lan, watching from the side, laughed mischievously, her eyes twinkling, "By the way, brother-in-law, what have you been doing in the Refinement Workshop?"

Xu Lai beckoned, and three items appeared in the backyard, shimmering with a dazzling light. Once the glow faded, they were revealed to be three distinctly different magical treasures.

A blue sword.

A white sword.

A white long dress.

Ruan Tang glanced at Xu Lai, knowing the dress was obviously tailored to fit her body, not too big or small, just the right size.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a couple," Ruan Lan remarked wistfully.

Ruan Tang glared at her sister.

Ruan Lan said innocently, "Sis, why are you glaring at me? Your business is in clothing, and my brother-in-law has this skill too; I didn’t say anything wrong."

Ruan Tang remained silent, taking the swords and dress back to her room. She might have overthought it just now.

The remaining blue long sword was naturally for Yiyi.

"Thank you, Daddy."

Xu Yiyi’s face was filled with undisguised delight. As the long sword touched her hand, it shrank slightly, fitting perfectly.

"Drip blood to acknowledge its master," Xu Lai smiled.

"Mm-hmm."

Xu Yiyi followed suit, and suddenly a sweet soft little girl’s voice echoed in her mind.

Surprised, she said, "Daddy, the sword seems to be talking."

"That’s the artifact spirit."

"What’s an artifact spirit?"

"An artifact spirit is..."

Xu Lai began to explain to his daughter.

Ruan Lan, thick-skinned, joined in listening, finally understanding how powerful Sister Qi, also an artifact spirit, was.

"Brother-in-law, what about mine?"

Ruan Lan tugged on Xu Lai’s sleeve, speaking softly and shyly.

"Miss, who are you? Do we know each other?"

"!!!"

Ruan Lan was exasperated, "Xu Lai, can you be a person? While you were in seclusion, I was forced to play with your daughter every day."

"The formation chessboard in your hand has both offensive and defensive capabilities. It’s strong; you don’t need extra magical treasures."

"Who would complain about having too many good items?"

Ruan Lan declared righteously, muttering, "Besides, which heroine flies on a chessboard? Flying on a sword is way more elegant."

"Do you still dare to step on me and fly?" Sister Qi’s voice appeared.

"I was just using a metaphor..."

"Even metaphors aren’t allowed. I am never beneath anyone."

"..."

Xu Lai was thoroughly confused.

Why did it feel like the artifact spirit of the Star Origin Sect’s Emperor Artifact embryo wasn’t a proper spirit, or was it that Ruan Lan had influenced it?

Wait a second.

Could it be that Senior Sister...

Xu Lai hesitated, "Has my senior sister met the chessboard spirit?"

"When you were in seclusion, I often took Senior Yu out for drinks and leisure... uh, consumption. After a while, they naturally became familiar."

We found the old troublemaker.

The source of all mischief, Yu Guiwan.

"Rest assured, brother-in-law, I only arranged proper activities for Senior Sister, all legitimate projects. We’ve already planned to meet up again in a while."

Ruan Lan declared seriously, "If it weren’t for her saying there’s something up in the Immortal Domain, we should have been fishing for sea fish on the island today."

Xu Lai sighed, tossing a dagger to his sister-in-law.

It was crafted from leftover divine metal scraps, not as refined as the three Emperor Artifact embryos Xu Lai put his heart and soul into, but it was a supreme magical treasure.

After all, it was a Quasi-Emperor Artifact dagger.

And a small piece of Void Divine Metal was incorporated into the forging materials, allowing the dagger to traverse the void and take the enemy’s head from billions of miles away, a true enigma.

"My sister and niece get swords, but why am I downgraded to a dagger..." Ruan Lan was extremely frustrated.

"Fool, this is a supreme Quasi-Emperor Artifact, capable of breaking through all defensive magical treasures beneath an Emperor Artifact. Drip blood quickly."

Sister Qi urged, "With this thing, it’ll be more convenient and safer to kill people in the future."

Ruan Lan’s smile blossomed like a flower, syrupy sweet, "Thank you to the world’s most handsome and best brother-in-law, love you lots."

"..."

This had become a scene from a Sichuan opera.

Xu Lai ignored his sister-in-law and returned to his room upstairs. Gently pushing the door open, he found Ruan Tang lost in thought in front of the full-length mirror.

Xu Lai’s eyes were filled with amazement.

His wife stood there in a white palace dress, holding a white long sword, as if she had walked straight out of a painting.

Her slightly furrowed brows left one heartbroken upon gazing.

"Truly beautiful," Xu Lai murmured in awe.

"It feels a bit... not quite right."

Ruan Tang felt a bit constrained; she preferred wearing Earth’s clothing more, finding the Immortal Domain style long dress somewhat unfamiliar.

"It’s suitable, really suitable. I’ve never seen such a beautiful fairy."

"Bah, how many people have you said that to?"

"Only you."

"Really?"

"Whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter; just drip blood to acknowledge the master first."

"But you already gave me a sword."

Ruan Tang tilted her head, "Why give me another one?"

Long ago, Xu Lai had given her the Emperor Artifact Qingfeng Sword along with a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill and various spirit plants, just in case.
