Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 204 Are You Willing?

For the past few days, Wu Tian had been spending all his time with Qin Yuhan and the little one.

The little one often waved a large jar in front of Qin Yuhan and Qin Zhengyang, leaving them dumbfounded. When they tried to lift the jar, they felt its immense weight, yet in the little one’s hands, it seemed as light as a feather. This made Qin Zhengyang exclaim, "Could this be what the rumors speak of—a woman born for the Martial Path?"

"No, I’m still a girl," the little one promptly retorted with a stern expression.

"Yes, yes, yes." In the end, Qin Zhengyang was the one to admit defeat.

What Wu Tian hadn’t expected was that Qin Yuhan also harbored a tenacious spirit. She was deeply troubled by having a so-called ’dud’ constitution, unsuitable for cultivation. This, coupled with her discomfort over a recent incident involving the collaboration with Europe’s top-tier Rothschild Family, led her to ask the little one about cultivation.

The little one, though young, was intelligent. Having lived with Qin Yuhan for so many years, she trusted her mother completely and disclosed the secrets of the Empress’s cultivation methods. Without Wu Tian’s knowledge, Qin Yuhan began to cultivate, hoping to give him a surprise.

However, as she practiced, her body grew increasingly cold instead of experiencing the cool, refreshing sensation the little one had described. She felt her breathing weaken as the color slowly drained from her pretty face. Not only that, but ice crystals began to cover her body, and this was only the beginning. Eventually, Qin Yuhan was completely encased in ice, and the entire room turned into an ice cellar.

When the little one found her, she panicked, completely at a loss, and immediately broke down in tears. After all, she was still just a child, unable to face such a terrifying situation. Her sobs attracted Wu Tian and Qin Zhengyang. Upon seeing his daughter’s room completely frozen over, Qin Zhengyang’s face went pale.

Only Wu Tian remained outwardly composed, his expression seemingly unmoved. But a closer look would have revealed the turbulent waves of worry beneath his calm eyes. Wu Tian reached out, placed his hand on the ice, and circulated his Spiritual Power. In the blink of an eye, the ice vanished without a trace.

Qin Yuhan collapsed powerlessly onto the floor. Wu Tian rushed over, carried her to the bed, and revived her with his Spiritual Power.

"Silly girl, why would you do such a foolish thing?" he said softly, tenderly caressing her pretty face. "Don’t worry. If you want the ability to protect yourself, I will make sure you get it. Your wish is my wish." Their two hearts drew closer together.

Qin Zhengyang was relieved to see his daughter and son-in-law’s relationship so strong, but as a father, he couldn’t hold back. "How could you be so reckless? If something had happened to you, how could I face your mother in the afterlife? I’ve watched you grow up. You’ve always been so level-headed. What on earth drove you to do something so impulsive?"

Qin Zhengyang’s words also served as a reminder to Wu Tian. He hadn’t expected Qin Yuhan to attempt the Empress’s methods on her own; it was completely out of character.

Qin Yuhan was reluctant to speak, but under the gazes of the two men who loved her most, she finally opened up and explained everything. The Kuangte Family and the Rothschild Family had initiated a collaboration on cultivation technology equipment. They needed a company in Dragon Country to help with operations, so the Kuangte Family had recommended the Qin Corporation.

Everything had been going smoothly until the day before, when Qin Yuhan suddenly received a call from Gona. It turned out the Rothschild Family had always considered the Qin Corporation too small a partner. Recently, the Morgan Family had also seen the potential in the cultivation technology and approached the Rothschild Family with their own partnership offer. The Morgan Family’s recommended partner in Dragon Country was the Cui Corporation, part of the Cui Family of Qinghe.

This news delighted the Rothschild Family. Gona had objected—he was the one who had signed the contract with the Qin Corporation and the Kuangte Family. If his family went back on the deal, how could he save face? But the Rothschild Family’s Clan Leader made the final decision, leaving Gona powerless. He could only call Qin Yuhan to apologize.

On the phone, Qin Yuhan naturally said she didn’t mind. After all, the Rothschild Family was a true behemoth. Their new partners, the Morgan Family and the Cui Family of Qinghe, were leagues beyond what the current Qin Corporation could compare to.

The Morgan Family was world-renowned. As for the Cui Family of Qinghe, anyone who was well-read would know of their strength, even though they had lived in relative obscurity since the time of Mr. Sun during the Republic of China. During the Spring and Autumn period, the Cui Family was one of the noble families of the Qi State. They became a prestigious clan in the Western Han period, and by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of their own, Cui Yan, had even joined Cao Cao. Since then, whenever an Emperor sat on the throne, the Cui Family had always been among the most illustrious of the noble clans.

Qin Yuhan recounted this with a blank expression, but both Qin Zhengyang and Wu Tian could see the frustration and unwillingness in her eyes. Still, there was nothing to be done. Although the Qin Corporation was the top group in Yang City, the gap between it and those behemoths was simply too vast. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Wu Tian looked at Qin Yuhan and said, "One year. Within one year, the Qin Corporation will become one of the top groups in the world." His tone was even, but anyone could hear the unwavering determination and confidence within it.

However, catching up to the Rothschild and Morgan families in just one year was simply too difficult to imagine. Qin Yuhan didn’t even dare to dream of it. Qin Zhengyang felt the same way. He was heartened by the gesture but assumed his son-in-law was just bragging to console his daughter.

I can’t blame my son-in-law, though! he thought. He also wanted to comfort his daughter by boasting, "Give your dad one year, and I’ll make the Qin Corporation number one in the universe." But in the end, he didn’t say it out loud. He was too embarrassed; he wasn’t as thick-skinned as his son-in-law. Little did they know, Wu Tian was telling the truth.

Wu Tian told Qin Yuhan to get some rest. The little one lay in bed with her, volunteering to tell a story.

"Mommy, do you know the story of Sun Wukong racing Zhu Bajie?"

"I don’t."

"Okay, then I’ll tell you! In the legend..."

The little one proceeded to retell the story of the Tortoise and the Hare, but with new characters. In her version, Sun Wukong, who loved peaches, was racing Zhu Bajie. Halfway through, he stopped to eat some. By the time Sun Wukong was finished, Zhu Bajie had already reached the finish line.

After leaving the room, Wu Tian went to Baiyun Mountain to find Xiao Liang, Xiao Tianzan, Tellam, and Xia Qian.

"Mr. Wu Tian," Xiao Liang and the others said, their curiosity piqued, "you’ve called all of us here. Is there something you need?"

Wu Tian scanned the group, his gaze finally landing on Tellam. "The Rothschild Family was originally going to cooperate with the Kuangte Family, which you lead. Now they’ve cast you aside for the Morgan Family, the second-ranked of Europe’s ten great families. Are you content with that?"
