Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Zhongli: "?"

Hu Tao grinned, put her finger to her lips, and gently shushed him.

Zhongli, who always doted on his master, did not tolerate Hu Tao at this moment. He reached out and grabbed the little girl by the back of her collar, and walked back to the courtyard of the siheyuan.

"Young friend, the sect leader has come to visit you."

Hu Tao was shocked: "Zhong Li, you have betrayed this master!"

Damn it, no wonder Zhongli goes to the courtyard to drink tea and read books every day. It turns out he's already hooked up with Ji Ming?

No! No poaching! No sluts! Ji Ming is such a jerk!

Faced with Hu Tao's accusations, Grandpa Zhongli remained expressionless. If Hu Tao was his daughter and Ji Ming was his son, then Qi Qi was his newly adopted granddaughter.

Based on Hu Tao's habits, she must have come to capture Qi Qi. How can a daughter come to capture her granddaughter?

What is this? This is the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren!

Seeing Hu Tao being dragged in, Ji Ming laughed even harder. He hugged Qi Qi, who was rushing towards him, and teased, "Tao, what are you planning to do with that sack in your hand?"

After being put down by Zhongli, Hu Tao glared at him, put her hands on her hips, and said with dissatisfaction, "You secretly brought Qi Qi back, why didn't you tell me, the hall master?"

"It wasn't abducted."

He nuzzled Qiqi's little face; it was cool and refreshing, but Ji Ming didn't care at all. Instead, his face was full of happiness: "Qiqi came back with me willingly."

Hu Tao blinked, then quickly backed away: "You pervert! Lolicon! Death penalty!"

"What? Qiqi is my darling daughter. What's wrong with her rubbing her cheek? You can't grab Qiqi like that anymore, what if you scare her?"

Burying her little face in Ji Ming's chest, her tiny hands gripping his collar tightly, Qi Qi looked wary and said softly, "Don't give me walnuts, Daddy..."

As a newly minted doting father, Ji Ming would naturally fulfill all of Qi Qi's requests. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Bruce, it's your turn to step in. Get Hu Tao out of here."

Sugar remained motionless, continuing to nap in its nest, completely ignoring Ji Ming. Walnut, on the other hand, was the true feeder, someone not to be trifled with.

Hu Tao smiled smugly, revealing her little tiger teeth: "What are you thinking? Bai Tang is under my care. I can even let her bite you."

"Do not believe."

"White Sugar, bite him!"

Bai Tang twitched her ears, pretending not to hear, and even made a snoring sound in a very convincing way. She ignored Hu Tao. Ji Ming was the new master entrusted to her by the original young master, and she couldn't afford to offend him.

There's also Ke Qing, the original young master's cousin, who often comes to visit her. She's someone you can't afford to offend.

There's also Xiangling, who's one of the feeders. She'll always have something delicious to offer, so she's definitely not someone to mess with.

There's also Gan Yu, the new master's master. Although I rarely see her, she's someone I can't afford to mess with.

Today we're adding another one, Qiqi, the new owner's youngest daughter, the Ji family's little princess, who's still not to be trifled with.

With a whimper, Bai Tang fell into a state of self-isolation.

Seeing that Bai Tang was inexplicably withdrawn, Hu Tao let out a soft "Huh," but didn't pay much attention to it. She continued to focus her gaze on Qi Qi and asked curiously, "So, why did you bring Qi Qi here?"

Hu Tao still remembers that when she accompanied Ji Ming to test reconnaissance capabilities, the test subject was Qi Qi from Bu Bu Lu.

It seems there was no contact after that, right? Definitely. Even Hu Tao didn't have time to catch Qi Qi. Ji Ming often left Liyue for business trips, and when he wasn't on business trips, he liked to stay at home and sleep instead of going out.

Why is this guy suddenly spending time with Qiqi after just two days?

Oh, I forgot, Ji Ming once said he wanted a daughter like Qi Qi, and this guy probably put it into action right away.

Hu Tao stuffed the sack into Zhong Li's arms, waved to urge him to leave, then approached Ji Ming with a smile, reaching out to poke Qi Qi's little face, only to be dodged by the little zombie girl.

"What's wrong? This master isn't going to eat you."

"Hu Tao, you're a bad person..."

Qiqi's eyes were wary as she continued to mutter in Ji Ming's ear, "Daddy, Daddy, Qiqi doesn't want walnuts..."

After being called "Daddy" several times, Ji Ming's heart melted. He picked up Qi Qi and walked into the bedroom, saying as he went, "Okay, okay, don't take Hu Tao."

walnut:"?"

This guy is going too far. It's one thing for him to cause trouble normally, but why is he ignoring her today?

With her chin resting on Ji Ming's shoulder, Qi Qi stared at Hu Tao, not out of revenge, but because she was genuinely afraid of this Hall Master of the Hall of Rebirth.

Hu Tao puffed out her cheeks and chased after him, asking, "Ji Ming, why are you ignoring this hall master?"

Ji Ming blinked hard, then gently patted Qi Qi's waist, hoping that Hu Tao would understand the hint.

There was no other way; his obedient daughter Qiqi was terrified of Hu Tao, and Hu Tao and Ji Ming himself had a pretty good relationship, so he could only choose to balance things out in this way.

Sigh, the little troubles of happiness~

Hu Tao was a very clever girl. She glanced at Qi Qi, who was resting her head on Ji Ming's shoulder, and showed her little tiger teeth: "Qi Qi, want a lollipop?"

Qiqi stared at the walnut without saying a word.

"Qiqi, what's your relationship with Ji Ming?"

Qiqi remained silent.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't," Hu Tao blinked. "Ji Ming, I'm going to sleep on your kang (heated brick bed)."

Qi Qi's eyes narrowed, and she hugged Ji Ming's neck, saying calmly, "Hu Tao can't sleep."

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Hu Tao chuckled and said, "Why? Qi Qi and Ji Ming have nothing to do with each other, and it has nothing to do with Qi Qi that I, the head of this hall, sleep on Ji Ming's kang (heated brick bed)."

"No means no, because Ji Ming is Qi Qi's father..."

walnut:"?!"

I don't know how long ago it was, but Qiqi was helping Baishu serve customers behind the counter when Changsheng said that only husband and wife would sleep in the same bed.

Ji Ming is a stupid dad. If Hu Tao sleeps in her stupid dad's bed, wouldn't she become a stupid mom?

No, Walnut can't be a mother, unless...

There's no exception; Hu Tao won't apologize to her.

Qi Qi repeated, "Ji Ming is Qi Qi's father, and father's bed belongs to Qi Qi..."

Hu Tao grabbed Ji Ming's sleeve and shouted like a fool, "Explain your daughter's situation to me!"

Ji Ming had a bit of a headache. Why did he suddenly feel like he was sandwiched between his stupid wife and stupid daughter? He reached out and held Qi Qi's bottom to prevent her from falling, and pushed open the wooden door to the bedroom.

Comrade Hu Tao was still loudly questioning him, while his adorable daughter Qi Qi clung to his neck and wouldn't let go, and the two began to argue.

Ouch, these two are natural enemies.

There was nothing he could do. Hu Tao was his neighbor and landlady, and Qi Qi was the best and most obedient daughter in the world. Ji Ming really wanted the two of them to get along peacefully, or at least not to be like a mouse meeting a cat every time they met.

If this predicament is to be resolved, Hu Tao will probably need to apologize to Qi Qi. However, this girl has always adhered to the concept of yin and yang in balance, so she probably won't apologize easily.

Ji Ming put Qi Qi on the kang and was about to light a fire with a tinderbox, but then he suddenly remembered that his daughter was a little zombie mother and would probably be afraid of fire and heat.

So Ji Ming put the tinderbox back in its original place.

Hu Tao saw this and stopped questioning, clicking her tongue with a hint of jealousy.

"You're surprisingly like an old father."

"Hehe, that's what I am now."

Damn it, what a great fatherly love! Ji Ming's holy light almost blinded Hu Tao.

Qiqi was a well-behaved child. Instead of jumping around on the kang (a heated brick bed), she huddled in a corner against the wall, staring at the red cloth shoes and men's white socks on the bedside table.

stare--

Ji Ming touched his head and reached out to take the two items away.

Qiqi blinked, grabbed Ji Ming's big hand, and then pressed herself against it, rubbing her cool little face against his palm.

At this moment, not only Ji Ming himself, but even Hu Tao couldn't help but become a little sentimental.

So, Qiqi is this cute?

Okay, the little zombie girl has always been cute, it's just that Hu Tao subconsciously overlooked it because Qi Qi is a little zombie girl.

From this perspective, Qiqi also possesses human emotions. She accepts Ji Ming, this reckless and cheap father, and occasionally acts coquettishly with a blank expression, easily capturing Ji Ming's heart.

There's no way around it, the little zombie girl is the cutest in the world.

Thinking this, Hu Tao quietly leaned over, wanting to pinch Qi Qi's little cheek, but was dodged again.

Okay, the cutest person in the world doesn't really like walnuts.

Chapter 154 A Few Things About Getting Up (Total 4000 words)

A wife, children, and a warm bed—an ordinary yet comforting ideal, the goal Ji Ming strived for his entire life.

I thought that to achieve this goal, it would take ten or even several decades, going through several processes such as redeeming my sworn brother, clearing my name, retiring from the criminal life, and making money to buy a house.

Unexpectedly, in just one night, this simple and heartwarming ideal was half accomplished.

Hu Tao is the eldest daughter, and Qi Qi is the youngest daughter. Ji Ming originally wanted to sleep on the floor, but the two girls, one big and one small, dragged him onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Yes, a wife, kids, and a warm bed—but no wife.

Qiqi is a good girl. Although she doesn't say it, she still regards Ji Ming as her silly daddy in her heart. It's just that she was held by her silly daddy for one night. So this little zombie girl took off her outer clothes without any suspicion, leaving only her red bellyband and close-fitting shorts.
