She blinked hard several times and rested her head against Tang Qingshan. "Dad, if I had met you in my past life, no matter what I became, you would still love and protect me like you do now, right?"
Tang Qingshan paused for a moment, then raised a hand to gently stroke her hair. "If there really are past and future lives, as long as you are my own flesh and blood, I would love you just the same even if you turned into Zhu Bajie!"
"Dad, can you pick a different example? I'd rather be the White Bone Demon! I don't want to turn into Zhu Bajie!" Xiao Man protested. 'Even if my face was ruined, I'd at least still be human. Turning into Zhu Bajie would be truly tragic!'
