"Have you ever thought about seeing your own daughter just for once?" The woman was filled with grievances, "I'm not asking for you to be a father, Li. I'm just asking you not to treat her, at the very least, like air. Like how you treat others."
Jin Rou's heart was pierced by those words. Although he didn't experience it, he could understand where Liline was coming from.
Liline was the sole daughter of Tian Era Emperor. He was one of the top ranking emperors with a terrifying nine-wills in his cultivation.
Era Emperors varied from each other and not because they were the same realms meant that they were all equally strong.
Their strength varied from the number of Ancient Wills they had. New emperors start with an Ancient Will and it could be added accordingly. Of course, one had to have enough power to do so. After all, Ancient Wills appearing in the world was very limited and most of the time, it was heavily fought on by emperors.
Tian Era Emperor was a nine-willed one. Being a top emperor, he commanded awe and respect from the masses though it was already a long time after his public appearance.
And Liline happened to be the favored daughter of the emperor. She was spoiled to their extreme, getting everything she wanted but she didn't grow rotten. She tried her best to practice her cultivation and follow the imperial path of her father. And with the emperor's help, she almost managed to.
If she didn't meet Han Li in the past and fell in love.
It was more than a complicated love affair and if possible, Jin Rou didn't want to be involved. After all, he's just using Han Li's body. Just think about it, he actually had no experience in that and out of the blue, he became a parent? How was he supposed to act then knowing his lack of knowledge?
But knowing the tenacity of Liline despite being rejected several times, she wouldn't just stop.
The least Jin Rou could do was to meet the daughter in person. Thus, he gave up and said, "Where is she?"
Liline looked at him with suspicion but still answered, "Are you willing to see her now?"
"Do I have a choice?" Jin Rou sighed. He better get over with this or it could go more complicated according to what he was feeling, "Let's go see her."
After hearing that, Liline nodded and led the way. She kept looking at Jin Rou to make sure that he's not going to escape again. In the past, it had been Han Li's hobby to escape from them, thus it became a habit of being over cautious.
Their residence was not far away from the sea, it was small villa with many plants around. Jin Rou remembered that Han Li used to like these plants.
"Little Sea likes the sea, thus I decided to buy a small land here where the sea can be seen perfectly during the sunrise and sunset." Liline explained though Jin Rou didn't ask for it, "She said that when she looks at the sea, the chances of meeting you again will rise. After all, her last image of you was departing for the sea."
So he was already seen by them just before he set sail for the vast sea.
"That sea is dangerous and said to be uncrossable, but judging by how you returned alive and with two beasts in tow, I guess even that sea is not enough to threaten you." Liline added.
Soon, they entered the villa and there was a small child with black hair meditating on the bed. Her eyes were closed but the resemblance with her mother and Han Li was there. She was a small beauty that could rapture the world into oblivion.
Then, the small child slowly opened her eyes and saw someone who she had been longing for, "Papa!"
She rushed towards Jin Rou and hug his thigh, "Little Sea missed you, papa!"
Jin Rou's heart was touched. It was perhaps because of the emotions Han Li's body was reacting according to this warm familiarity. In all honesty, he never had seen her daughter even in the past. He was too busy trying to overthrow the god out there that he didn't think about the daughter he made.
But Han Li had no choice, either. He was committed to what he's doing, and though the people around him understood it, how could a small child? Fortunately, it seemed that Little Sea looked at Han Li with great favorability.
Jin Rou smiled and caressed her little head, "How talented you are. Already an Immortal Vajra?"
It was truly shocking. A child like this was already at the peak of vajra? Although her age wasn't that age in measurement of mortals, she was still a little child in the world of cultivation.
"Hehe! Of course, my papa is the best. I inherited it from him." Little Sea was truly happy, "I have learned so many things from the books you left years ago. And it helped me advanced more."
Having Han Li's pure bloodline, Little Sea was bound to greatness and no one could do something about it. Perhaps, if given time, she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Han Li. Unfortunately, it wouldn't happen as the latter already died during the eighth challenge.
"That's a good job." Jin Rou smiled, "Go back to your practice. I will be talking with your mama first. En?"
Little Sea hopped in happiness and nodded returning to her original position.
Jin Rou looked at her and couldn't help but be happy that Little Sea didn't inherit the eccentric attitude of him. If she did, it would be a total disaster for the world. Moreover, she also inherited her mother's great beauty so all in all, it was worth it. If Han Li was alive, he would also be happy.
After talking to Little Sea, Jin Rou and Liline got out of the villa for a talk.
