Back For My Daughter

With the Moon high in the sky spreading its silver light, a house was bustling with giggles and hustle.

In the bedroom, Ye Qian was sitting on the bed, with Yuan Meng\'s head on his shoulder while Little Qiqi and Little Jia were giggling as they sat on his lap.

"Papa tell the story!"

Little Qiqi exclaimed as she held Ye Qian\'s face in her tiny hands.

"So I will start after the hero\'s death!"

Ye Qian patted Yuan Meng\'s shoulder to make her wake from her daze and cleared his throat.

"Ahem."

"Huh."

Yuan Meng shook her head and glanced at Ye Qian.

He smiled at her and nodded, to make her relax.

"So after the hero was hit by the truck."

Ye Qian emphasised a few words for Yuan Meng to know what he was telling about.

Yuan Meng nodded and placed her head and silently continued to listen to Ye Qian.

The little girls were also quiet and listened to the story while sitting on both his laps.

"He died, but then something happened, he woke up in an unknown place full of trees and various animals."

"He then thought of how he was hit by the truck and then look at himself, he was fine except for a sword that was stuck to his stomach and he was bleeding."

As the story continued Ye Qian told many tales of him joining the Han Empire and various cultivation to the girls and Yuan Meng, they were astonished to hear such things, but Yuan Meng\'s heart moved when she heard that he was only getting stronger to meet them back.

While the girls were imagining the things about various beasts that Ye Qian described as she continued to tell about his various encounters with many ferocious beasts and cultivation sects.

Little Qiqi was surprised to hear that there were many different kinds of animals who had various powers and would continuously ask various questions about the Dragons, Phoenixes, Griffons, Airavat, Thunderbirds and others.

"Papa, does the Airavat have three heads in real?"

Little Qiqi asked as she scratched her chin.

"Yes, there was a myth in India that a God called Indra had that Airavt as his ride beast, and then there is a snake-like creature called Sheshnaag which sometimes has five heads and sometimes seven."

"But such creatures were also there in the world where the hero went."

"Huh one, two, three, four, five."

Little Qiqi counted each number on her finger and gasped as her eyes widened.

"Papa so many heads how can it still keep its neck straight?"

Yuan Meng who was silently listening to Ye Qian was amused by Little Qiqi\'s actions and smiled.

"Well, it\'s said that it has a lot of power. Should I not continue the story now?"

Ye Qian asked while patting their heads.

"No!"

"No, Papa we want to listen to the story!"

Little Qiqi and Little Jia said in synchrony.

"Ok then be quiet for a while."

"Hmm."

The Little girls nodded and took their previous places quietly.

"Then he continued to become stronger while always thinking of his Little Baby and his wife who were alone. He would deliberately remember them when he was drained with cultivating hard he would always think of them and continue to work hard, his only goal was to get strong as soon as possible and try whether he was able to get back to his little baby."

"After more than 3000 years he was one of the strongest in the Greater Heaven, throughout the time he cultivated he adopted some disciples and made them strong too, after some time a disciple of his called Qing\'er started to love him."

"Sigh."

Ye Qian took a deep breath as he recalled Qing\'er\'s face.

A tear fell from his eyes and dripped down his cheeks.

Now he knew it was really not good for him to leave them alone, they were his small family but he had abandoned them.

As the tear continued to slide on his cheek, Yuan Meng felt his body trembled.

Yuan Meng smiled.

\'So he had someone who loved there but was not able to understand her, poor girl, it must have been hard on her, with this dummy.\'

Yuan Meng silently shook her head.

\'He really loved his disciples, they were like his family for all these years.\'

Yuan Meng gently grabbed his hand and rubbed it between hers.

Ye Qian stopped trembling and closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Then after facing the Purple God lightning tribulation, he bade farewell to his three disciples and opened a tear in the void and travelled through it and finally met his little daughter and wife."

"Papa, that hero is nice, but he shouldn\'t have kept his disciples there they might be feeling sad without him right."

Little Qiqi said as he finished.

Ye Qian had a mournful smile as he listened to Little Qiqi.

"Yes, Butterfly is right, he shouldn\'t have done that he also feels sad now."

"But Papa he really loved his little baby and wife."

Little Jia said with an innocent smile.

Ye Qian patted her head and nodded.

"So Papa, will he go back to his disciples with his family?"

Little Qiqi asked as she gazed out of the window staring at the sky.

Ye Qian also glanced at the sky and mumbled.

"If there really is a way he sure will meet them and never leave them alone, after all, they are also his family."

"Although he never thought much at that time, they were really his only loves ones there."

"Hmm Papa you must really find a way to meet with big brothers and sisters, Qiqi will also help you!"

Little Qiqi suddenly said while looking at the sky.

Ye Qian\'s and Yuan Meng\'s eyes widened as they stared at her.

"Yes Papa, Jia will also help you meet them."

"Huh?"

Yuan Meng and Ye Qian didn\'t know whether they should laugh or cry as the little girls said something that they would never expect.

"Butterfly, Little Jia, what are you talking about?"

Ye Qian calmed himself and asked in a daze.

"Papa, Qiqi knows you missed Qiqi and Mumma, but you should not let others miss you too."

Little Qiqi turned at him and hugged him tightly, as she began to cry.

"Qiqi doesn\'t want, big brothers and sisters to feel how Qiqi felt when you were not there."

Meanwhile, Little Jia went to Yuan Meng and hugged her.

Yuan Meng also had her eyes filled with tears, as she thought.

\'For us, it was 5 years but for him, it was 5000, then what we felt was nothing compared to that.\'

\'One would even forget people after 20 years but he still had us in his heart. Won\'t this be asking for too much if I were to say it?\'

\'Besides, he has suffered so much in that place after he went there, and I still named him and slapped him.\'

As Yuan Meng thought of the slap that she hit Ye Qian with, she blamed herself further and glanced at her hand.

"Butterfly, don\'t cry, Papa won\'t let them miss Papa for long."

Ye Qian smiled at her while rubbing her back and consoled.

"Hmm."

Little Qiqi nodded and wiped her tears off with her little hands.

"Now shouldn\'t, my Little Butterfly and Little Jia sleep?"

"We are going out tomorrow right?"

Ye Qian glanced at Little Jia and smiled.

"Huh, where are we going to, Papa.?"

Little Jia asked in confusion and turned to Yuan Meng who was now eased a little and was calm.

She shrugged her shoulder and shook her head.

"Little Jia \' worry about that now, Papa will take you to do something good tomorrow."

Ye Qian smiled mysteriously as he glanced at Yuan Meng.

"Hehe, Papa is acting mysterious now, hehe!"

Little Qiqi grinned.

"Hey, Little Qiqi tell me too."

Little Jia crawled from Yuan Meng\'s lap to her and asked.

"No, if Papa won\'t tell you then Qiqi also won\'t, and Mumma will also be surprised."

Little Qiqi folded her hands on her chest and said sternly.

"Huh, me."

Yuan Meng furrowed her brows and glanced at Ye Qian.

"Humph."

"If you don\'t want to tell this big sister then fine, now let me sleep with Papa."

Little Jia pouted her lips and swarmed into Ye Qian\'s arms.

"Oh, our Little Jia has such a cute face when she is angry!"

Ye Qian exclaimed as he brought her into his arms and pinched her nose.

"Now sleep properly."

"Hehe thank you, Papa."

Little Jia giggled and poked Little Qiqi.

"Are you not going to sleep?"

"Huh who said that, I will sleep now!"

Little Qiqi howled as she left Ye Qian and crawled under the blanket and covered herself completely.

"See I am sleeping, it\'s Big Sister who is not."

After she covered herself, a muffled voice came from within.

Ye Qian and Yuan Meng covered their mouths and giggled seeing the girls playing.
