Darkness.

Boom boom boom!

Boom...

A sudden thunderclap resonated, causing the little lass to drop her porcelain bowl in surprise.

"Daddy, Daddy, where are you? Xiaoxiao is scared..."

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes as she felt around, seemingly in search of something.

Finally, she touched the body of a man.

This man lay on the bed, around thirty years of age, strikingly handsome with strong features. However, his countenance was marred by a pain that seemed impossible to dispel.

"Daddy, Xiaoxiao's sorry, Xiaoxiao won't make you angry anymore. Please wake up, Xiaoxiao is scared!"

"Daddy, Xiaoxiao knows she was wrong...."

"Daddy..."

The little girl clung to the man, as if he was her only source of comfort and refuge. But her tiny frame still trembled from the thunderous noise outside.

...

"Emperor Hao Tian, I've regarded you as a brother, why would you abandon me in the face of death?!"

Suddenly, the man lying on the bed opened his eyes, and two jet-like beams of light shot out from his pupils.

Immediately thereafter, an aura of terror that seemed to become substantial emanated from his body.

Every piece of furniture in the room shattered along with it.

The little girl holding the man screamed in fear, "Papa, Xiao Xiao admits her mistakes, please don't scare Xiao Xiao..."

"Who are you?"

The man lowered his head to look at the girl who was clinging to him tightly, a rare look of confusion in his eyes.

"Papa, I am Xiao Xiao...you wouldn't want to abandon Xiao Xiao like Mama did...if even you don't want Xiao Xiao...then Xiao Xiao will truly be an unwanted wild child...whimper sob sob..."

The little girl cried.

"Xiao Xiao..."

The man murmured.

Suddenly,

Boom!

A torrent of memories that did not belong to him surged into his mind.

Ye Feng, the Wolf King of the North, had achieved a life of glory at the tender age of twenty-five. Before he retired, he married the number one beauty in the capital, Miss Shen QingShuang of the Shen Household.

Shen QingShuang bore him a daughter, named Ye Xiao Xiao. It was discovered at Xiao Xiao's birth that she was born with congenital blindness, having been unable to see anything since birth...

The scene changes,

Three years later,

An accident happened during a mission!

Ye Feng's entire body was ravaged by an explosion, leaving him at the brink of death. He was eventually saved; however, he now lay as a useless cripple.

"I, Shen Qingshuang, have no room in my heart for the wasted," a woman's voice echoed, as if from distant high peaks, rumbling with the pressure of condemnation. "Take your useless daughter and leave the Shen family."

Her cold, biting words continued to reverberate in his ears, refusing to dissipate.

...

"You're as pitiful as me," His gaze grew sharp, "But, you are also useless."

After glimpsing his future memories, Ye Feng, with a heart sunk into despair, took his daughter and retreated to a small village where nobody knew them. He drowned himself in alcohol and in his bouts of drunken madness, he used to beat his blind girl with no sparing.

The sight of the five-year-old blind daughter, who was not only subject to his beatings but took care of her useless father, was depressingly pitiable.

"Xiaoxiao, are you my daughter?"

The man reached out to touch Xiaoxiao's face.

Startled, Ye Xiaoxiao shrank back, her small face paling as she explained, "Xiaoxiao didn't mean to break the bowl. Xiaoxiao just wanted to make rice soup for Papa, but there was sudden thunder outside and Xiaoxiao got scared and couldn’t hold the bowl properly. It smashed by accident. Xiaoxiao didn't mean to, Papa. Please don't hit Xiaoxiao, okay?"

The man turned his head to look at the shattered porcelain bowl and the spilled rice soup on the floor, his expression in a daze.

Then, lowering his gaze, he noticed the little girl's hands gripping his clothes, marked with blood stains and burn scars, all blistered.

One had to imagine, a five-year-old girl who couldn't see, how she found the rice in the dark, how she cooked the porridge and brought it over. That process must have been very tough.

Suddenly,

The mortal heart that the man sitting on the bed had sealed for tens of thousands of years, trembled.

"Xiaoxiao knows she's wrong, can daddy stop being angry, please?"

The little girl cautiously clutched the corner of the man's clothes, seemingly quite scared.

"It's not Xiaoxiao's fault, the fault is with daddy. Daddy will never drink, never hit Xiaoxiao again. From now on, Daddy will spoil you, treat you just like a little princess!"

The man tightly hugged Ye Xiaoxiao. He said to himself, Ye Feng, Shen Qingshuang, if the two of you don't want this daughter, then I will. She will be the most precious daughter of my life, without any dust of the heavenly emperor.

That's right, this man, named Wu Chen

Dustless

, was once a war god in the cultivation world. He expanded territories for his good brother Emperor Hao Tian, waged wars across all realms, and secured vast territories. Yet, due to surpassing his ruler, He was secretly plotted against by his good brother and ultimately fell at the Break Immortal Stage.

Wu Chen never thought that he was still alive, and had reincarnated on Earth, moreover, he even got a daughter.

"Since I am here, I will be named Ye Feng in the future, and Ye Xiaoxiao, will be my daughter. As for you, go wherever you should go!"

Wu Chen said in his heart.

The last shred of Ye Feng's consciousness within Wu Chen also faded. However, as his consciousness faded, it seemed as if it was hurrying to plead something, but Wu Chen didn't bother to listen.

From now on, he is Ye Feng, a brand-new Ye Feng.
