~5 minute read · 1,172 words

Day after day, with persistence, Ye Xuan had mastered this Body Cultivation Technique to the utmost level. Performing the entire set without a single hitch, it flowed seamlessly and appeared exceptionally smooth.

Ye Xuan wiped away the sweat and turned to Little Cloud, smiling as he asked, "How about it, Little Cloud? Notice any issues now?"

"I did!" Little Cloud replied earnestly, "The cultivation technique Dad practices is too rigid. If it were softer, the effect would definitely improve!"

"Oh?" Ye Xuan chuckled, "And how can it be softer?"

"I don’t know," Little Cloud scratched her head, "But my old dad seemed to say that all things in the world should balance hardness and softness, neither too hard nor too soft. What you practiced just now was too fierce!"

Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then laughed, "Did your old dad ever say that all roads lead to Rome, whether too hard or too soft, when mastered to the utmost, can reach the pinnacle and be unmatched in the world?"

"I don’t think he mentioned..." Little Cloud pondered, then raised her head to ask Ye Xuan, "Dad, what does ’all roads lead to Rome’ mean? Is Rome a type of horse?"

Ye Xuan was stunned, and couldn’t help but rub Little Cloud’s head, "You’ll understand when you grow up."

Little Cloud asked again, "When will I grow up?"

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, "Once you start going to school, you’ll grow up."

Little Cloud: "What is school?"

Ye Xuan: "It’s a place with many children."

"Oh..."

Little Cloud nodded, seemingly half-understanding.

Seeing Little Cloud’s confused look, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel a wave of warmth and tenderness in his heart.

Little Cloud was simply adorable to the utmost degree at this moment.

Though a bit quirky, Ye Xuan still really liked her.

Liked her very much.

Due to war injuries, Ye Xuan found it difficult to make someone pregnant, which indirectly meant sterility—an undeniable pain for a man who wants to be a father.

Indeed, Ye Xuan wishes to be a father, and he’s longed for it.

But fate had its way, his body wouldn’t allow it, he didn’t dare to indulge in such dreams, only secretly hoping that his war injuries would heal soon.

At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but fantasize that if Little Cloud was really his daughter, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Unfortunately, she was not.

Soon, her biological father would come to find her...

"Dad, are you thinking about something sad?" Little Cloud suddenly asked, seemingly influenced by Ye Xuan’s emotions, her tone was somewhat low.

Ye Xuan snapped back, smiling, "Dad was just thinking that if Dad had a daughter like you, life would truly be fulfilled."

"Dad, are you praising me?" Little Cloud immediately rejoiced, "I am Dad’s daughter!"

"Yes, you are."

Ye Xuan smiled, then picked Little Cloud up, "Alright, my little darling, let’s head inside and get ready for breakfast."

"Breakfast?" Little Cloud asked in confusion, "What is breakfast?"

Ye Xuan: "You’ve never had breakfast?"

Little Cloud: "No."

Ye Xuan: "What about lunch or dinner?"

Little Cloud: "No, never."

Ye Xuan: "Come on, you just don’t like eating, nine out of ten kids are like you."

Little Cloud: "But... I’ve really never had a meal!"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said no more.

The world of children is so simple, thinking such lies are excellent enough to avoid meals they dislike, little do they know, adults aren’t so easily fooled.

You’re three or four years old and claim you’ve never eaten, how have you survived until now?

Soon after.

Ye Xuan and Lin Tong were both stunned.

Because at the dining table, they discovered that Little Cloud really might not have eaten before; the girl didn’t even know how to use a spoon!

"This..."

The couple looked at each other, each seeing the astonishment in the other’s eyes.

For a while, Ye Xuan came back to his senses, saying with a smile, "Perhaps her way of eating before was different from ours."

"Probably."

Lin Tong nodded, then put down her chopsticks, turned to Little Cloud with a smile, "Little Cloud doesn’t know how to use a spoon? Want mom to teach you?"

"Yes." Little Cloud said sweetly, "Mom, is this thing in my hand a spoon?"

"Yes." Lin Tong patiently explained, "You’re sitting on a chair, the table is in front of you, on it are bowls and plates, the bowl contains your nutritious breakfast, eating it will help you grow tall and big."

Lin Tong explained almost everything in the dining room to Little Cloud in one go.

Little Cloud listened intently, as if discovering a new world.

Meanwhile, as Ye Xuan watched their interaction, his heart was deeply touched.

He could feel that Lin Tong, just like him, really liked Little Cloud, treating her as their own daughter.

Simultaneously, Ye Xuan was curious about Little Cloud’s biological father.

What kind of eccentric could raise a daughter like this, who at three or four years old knows nothing of the world!

Then, Ye Xuan and Lin Tong were shocked once more.

Because they found out that Little Cloud wasn’t disgusted by meals at all, she even liked them, her appetite was bigger than an adult’s.

After eating one portion of the child’s nutritious breakfast, she wanted more.

Luckily, Lin Tong was prepared, having the help made several portions of different flavors of child’s nutritious breakfast to prevent Little Cloud from being picky.

It turned out, Little Cloud wasn’t picky at all, just had a big appetite.

As a result, several portions of nutritious breakfast of different tastes were all consumed by her tiny mouth, not a bit wasted.

This shocked Ye Xuan and his wife.

A three or four-year-old kid eating so much breakfast in one go, can her body handle it? It’s too monstrous!

The more monstrous thing was, seeing Little Cloud, she apparently wasn’t full yet!

Ye Xuan and Lin Tong exchanged glances, both seeing the intense astonishment in the other’s eyes.

They were already sure Little Cloud hadn’t eaten before, although it sounded incredible, aside from aversion to eating, she had no reason to make up such a low-level lie.

And an aversion to eating child can eat so many portions of breakfast in one go and still want more?

For a moment, both their minds went blank.

In the silence.

It was Little Cloud who spoke first, "Dad, Mom, is there more nutritious breakfast? I want to eat more!"

What the heck!

Ye Xuan suddenly snapped back, giving Little Cloud a forced smile, "Little girl, you still aren’t full? If you keep eating, our family will go broke feeding you!"

"Huh?"

Little Cloud asked in confusion, "Dad, what does ’go broke’ mean?"
