"Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!" Hearing his two daughters complain, Xiao Tian felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart several times.
And it was his most beloved daughters who stabbed him, with critical hits every time.
He could only comfort himself: They are my own, my own, my own. Do not be angry, do not be angry.
Even if they are my own, I cannot take it anymore. I have to beat them up. Children who are not beaten will not listen.
Xiao Tian took a deep breath, ready to grab them and let them experience what it means to have a father's love as vast as a mountain.
Just as Xiao Tian was about to act, Xiao Meng's tender voice came from the forest. "Dearest Daddy, come quickly! We found something amazing that you will definitely like."
Xiao Tian, who was still brewing his emotions, instantly broke into a smile when he heard his daughter's words. "Aye~ Coming, coming!"
Xiao Tian: I did not want to smile happily, but she called me dearest Daddy!!
He quickly came to Xiao Meng and Xiao Ling's side. "My two little darlings, what amazing thing did you find? Let Daddy take a look."
"Daddy, look, there is a beautiful wild auntie in the bushes." Xiao Ling pointed to the nearby bush and said crisply.
After speaking, she pulled Xiao Tian towards it.
Xiao Tian did not intend to use his senses to probe what was inside. He followed Xiao Ling to the bush, and he was quite curious about the 'beautiful auntie' Xiao Ling mentioned.
One must know that both of them had seen so many beautiful and stunning mothers, so their definition of beauty was much higher.
After Xiao Tian walked in, he saw a woman, appearing to be around thirty years old, wearing a white and purple qipao, with a delicate face that subtly carried the charm of time, lying in a pool of blood.
She had several seemingly deep wounds on her body, with faint traces of black energy around them.
When Xiao Tian saw her appearance and the black energy in her wounds, he felt a sense of familiarity, yet he did not recall knowing such a woman in the Central Plains.
"Daddy, this auntie looks like she is about to die. I do not think she is a bad person. Daddy, please save her." Xiao Ling squatted down, examined the woman in front of her, and said to Xiao Tian with hope.
"Yes, Daddy, this auntie does not look like a bad person either." Xiao Meng also squatted down, even reaching out to poke the other party's face.
The unconscious woman seemed to feel someone touching her. Her tightly furrowed brows, caused by pain, moved slightly, but she showed no signs of waking up.
"Alright, but we need to find a safe place first." Xiao Tian rubbed his two daughters' heads. They were still too kind, but Xiao Tian had no intention of changing them. After all, he could always back them up.
Moreover, his two daughters were just kind, not foolishly kind. Both possessed the Phoenix's characteristics, giving them a certain ability to discern good and evil.
"Then let us go quickly, Daddy. We know there is a mountain cave far ahead. The Magical Beasts inside are very friendly and have already made room for us." Xiao Meng urged Xiao Tian, pointing to the west.
Xiao Tian spread his senses in the direction Xiao Meng pointed and found the mountain cave she mentioned, which was quite far from here.
This woman was injured and lying here, indicating she must have been attacked, and she had two types of wounds: one from a Magical Beast's claw, and one from a human.
He did not know if she was ambushed while fighting Magical Beasts or encountered other Magical Beasts while escaping after being injured by someone.
Regardless of which, it implied the existence of pursuers. Xiao Tian also sensed a not-weak power on her body, but due to her current injured state, he could not determine its exact nature.
Xiao Tian reached out and tapped the woman's body a few times, helping to stop the bleeding from her wounds.
After he finished, he carefully picked up the woman in his arms, then activated Void Piercer Art and headed towards the mountain cave.
Seeing their Daddy leave, Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng also hurriedly used Void Piercer Art to follow.
Xiao Tian still maintained a distance of several tens of meters, based on their proficiency, to apply some pressure and encourage their progress.
His soul sense also constantly monitored their surroundings for any threats, preventing them from being ambushed due to excessive focus.
People only inexplicably unleash their potential and make progress when they are in a tight spot.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng saw their Daddy getting further and further away, so they exerted all their strength to chase, afraid they would not be able to keep up.
Unbeknownst to them, their proficiency in this movement technique continuously increased, and they did not even realize it themselves.
Upon arriving at the mountain cave, Xiao Tian's senses detected no Magical Beasts inside, but from the traces, it was clear the cave's owner had not left long ago.
The two little girls finally caught up to Xiao Tian, panting and leaning on him. "Bad Daddy, you ran so fast. We almost could not keep up."
After speaking, both of them pouted in unison, looking displeased.
Xiao Tian used Dou Qi to conjure two candies, floating them in front of them. "If I did not do this, how would your Void Piercer Art improve? These two candies are your reward."
Although these two candies were indeed candies, they were made from various medicinal herbs combined, capable of strengthening the body, not the kind of candy that would spoil teeth. They were, in short, Schrödinger's candies.
The two thought back and realized that their movement technique, which had not improved for a long time, had indeed progressed, noticeably displacing them over twenty meters further than before.
The two happily took the candies and started eating. Xiao Ling's small hand pushed Xiao Tian. "Daddy, let us go in, otherwise this auntie might really be gone soon."
Xiao Meng also said from the side, "Ling Ling and I already 'invited' the Magical Beast inside out, and it definitely will not dare to come back."
When Xiao Tian heard their words, he understood that this 'invitation' was probably a bit painful, and the Magical Beast was definitely beaten away by these two little girls.
"How did you 'invite' it?" Xiao Tian walked inside, carrying the woman, and casually asked them.
"Oh, it was nothing much. Meng Meng and I each gave it a kick, and then it just disappeared somewhere. It is pretty far, but do not worry, Daddy, it will not die. I held back my strength."
Xiao Tian nodded upon hearing that. Although he let the two little girls fool around, he did not allow them to casually harm lives, except for enemies and those with malicious intent.
The entire cave was quite large, with an entrance nearly three meters high, and the height increased further inside.
The two little girls curiously touched here and tapped there, as if there were treasures inside.
"What are you doing?"
"Daddy, we are looking to see if there are any treasures here. I heard from people in the Palace that many of these mountain caves and cave dwellings have treasures. Before, our mothers said that Daddy found many treasures in mountain caves or Magical Beast caves, especially the things Cai Li Mother needed for her evolution, it is just…"
