The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Jiang Ming has arrived in Mengcheng.

After resting briefly in Mengcheng and giving Wang Xu some instructions, he disguised himself and headed to Chongcheng.

Between Mengcheng and Chongcheng, there is only one city, Xucheng. The three cities are not far apart. With the speed of an immortal ancestor, Jiang Ming arrived in Chongcheng in five days.

He found the restaurant depicted in the painting, booked the same private room, and stood on the viewing platform of the room, where he could see the gallery across the street.

His eyesight was excellent, and he immediately spotted the painter on the second floor working. On the wall behind the painter hung several paintings of the Goddess of Chongcheng.

Jiang Ming controlled his spiritual sense and silently sneaked into the painter's room, shattering his soul core.

The Mingshan Sect is heavily guarded; anyone who gets too close to its territory will be questioned.

It's difficult to get in, whether in the sky or on the ground.

The disciples who went out to search were always in groups of three or five, and it was difficult to catch those who were alone.

If they were all killed, it would certainly alert the two demon ancestors of the Underworld Mountain Sect.

There's also Shen Yao's immortal father.

Little Shi Bao hadn't seen his mother for two months and was feeling down all day, so Xianyu decided to take him to the city for a trip.

As soon as Xianyu stepped out of the gate of the Mingshan Sect, carrying Xiaoshibao, he was spotted by Jiang Ming, that venomous snake.

Unlike the cities of the immortals, the cities of the demon race are protected by a protective array, shielding them from wind and rain.

The wind in Chongcheng was quite strong. Xianyu wrapped Xiaoshibao up tightly and even put a black hat on his head.

Seeing Shen Yu carrying a child, Jiang Ming followed her, hoping to find an opportunity to kidnap her and find out Shen Yao's whereabouts.

Xianyu led Shibao to wherever there was excitement, and Jiang Ming never got a chance.

But he was an extremely patient immortal lord.

Xianyu took Shibao around for more than an hour. When they got tired and hungry, they found a restaurant to eat and rest.

Jiang Ming stood outside the restaurant, his spiritual sense following her into the private room.

Once inside the private room, Xianyu helped Shibao sit down on a chair, took off his hat and mask, and breathed on and stroked his head.

When Jiang Ming, who was standing outside the restaurant, saw the child's face clearly with his spiritual sense, he was dumbfounded.

The experiences of cultivators are engraved in their soul cores, so Jiang Ming naturally knows what he looked like when he was a child.

The child in the private room looks exactly like him when he was a child.

Jiang Ming felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite define—bitterness, joy, and bewilderment intertwined within him.

He had some things he was eager to confirm with the child.

He used a small magical artifact that looked like a flying bird to lead the child to the observation deck.

Taking advantage of Shen Yu's momentary lapse in attention, they swiftly carried the child away from the observation deck.

The salted fish didn't even see his afterimage.

The child was too small, so he held him and flew around, giggling as he pinched the flying bird.

When Xianyu discovered that Shi Bao was missing, she searched the entire restaurant like a madwoman, but couldn't find him. She then sent a message to Gou Yue and searched the whole city like a madwoman again.

Gou Yue quickly led the disciples of the Mingshan Sect to seal off Chongcheng.

The whole city was searching for this child, but they couldn't find him anywhere.

By the time they had spread the search to surrounding towns and counties, Jiang Ming had already taken the children back to Mengcheng.

On the way back, I carried the child around for the first two days, giving him all sorts of toys to play with, and he giggled.

On the third day, the child also sensed something was wrong, crying and fussing every day, wanting to return to the Underworld Sect.

Jiang Ming didn't know how to coax him, and he couldn't knock him unconscious, so he could only hold him tightly and fly faster.

The child cried himself to sleep in his arms, then cried again when he woke up, and even ate while crying.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Wang Xu was puzzled to see the hall master carrying a child back.

Wasn't the sect leader going to Chongcheng to find Shen Yao? Why is he bringing a child back?

Wang Xu went to take the child, but Jiang Ming wouldn't let him hold him.

The child had already cried himself to sleep.

Jiang Ming carried the child back to the backyard and placed him on the bed in his room: "Wang Xu, come and take a look."

Wang Xu leaned closer and was startled when he saw the child: "Master... this child... this child looks exactly like you!"

Jiang Ming's heart was pounding.

He used his spiritual power to create a needle, pricked the child's finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and held it in the air.

The child woke up in pain from his dream and started crying loudly again.

Jiang Ming cut his palm, and blood spilled out. The drop of blood in the air seemed to have found its home, eagerly floating onto his palm and merging with the blood in his hand.

The fused blood turned gold, signifying that they shared the same bloodline.

Jiang Ming looked at the gold in his palm, his breathing becoming more rapid: "It's my child! It really is my child!"

Wang Xu quickly picked up the crying child and tried everything he could to soothe him.

Jiang Ming almost cried with joy: "Wang Xu! He really is my child! Shen Yao gave birth to my child!"

While coaxing the child, Wang Xu also had to keep his attention on Jiang Ming's side, saying, "Congratulations, Hall Master! Congratulations, Hall Master!"

The master and servant took turns trying to soothe the child for a long time until the child finally stopped crying.

Jiang Ming used his spiritual power to soothe the child's swollen eyes, finally easing them.

Jiang Ming asked him, "What's your name?"

Shi Bao: "I want my mother."

Jiang Ming: "Who is your mother?"

Shi Bao: "My mother is Shen Yao. I want my mother. I want my mother."

Jiang Ming looked at the child with even more affection: "Where did your mother go?"

Shi Bao: "My mother went to a secret realm."

A secret realm? Jiang Ming was filled with doubt and worry. She had finally escaped from the Thunder Secret Realm, so why was she going to another secret realm?

You probably couldn't get the answer to this kind of question from a child.

Jiang Ming: "When is your mother coming back?"

"Mother said she'll be back in a few months." Shi Bao's body and limbs kept thrashing about: "I want my mother, I want my mother, I want my mother..."

Jiang Ming held him in his arms: "It's good that your father is here even though your mother isn't here. Tell your father first, what's your name?"

Shi Bao shouted in a childish voice, "You're not my dad, my dad is Feng Yu."

Jiang Ming's face darkened. She really was with Feng Yu again. What was good about Feng Yu besides his face? Even though he betrayed her, she still wanted to be with Feng Yu!

Jiang Ming's voice was slightly angry: "That's not your father!"

Shi Bao was frightened by his expression, and her lips trembled as she began to well up with tears again.

Jiang Ming softened his expression and tone, coaxing him, "What I mean is, Feng Yu isn't your biological father, I am your biological father."

Jiang Ming took a mirror and looked at himself and Shi Bao: "Look, don't you and your father look exactly alike? I really am your biological father."

Shi Bao looked in the mirror, and it really was exactly the same.

He reached out his little hand to wipe his eyes: "Then why have I never seen you before?"

Jiang Ming said regretfully, "Your father and mother had to separate before, so I'm only coming to pick you up now."

Shi Bao: "When will I go back?"

Jiang Ming: "I'm not going back. When your mother comes back, I'll have her come find you, okay?"

Shi Bao started making a fuss again: "I want my auntie, I want my auntie..."

Jiang Ming guessed that the aunt he was referring to was Shen Yu: "Your aunt has her own things to do, she doesn't plan to come."

Shi Bao kicked wildly, each foot striking Jiang Ming's leg: "I don't care, I want Auntie, I want Auntie, I want Auntie..."

Wang Xu ran in carrying the city lord's son: "Auntie isn't here, but there's your brother. Brother will play with you."

There weren't many children in Chongcheng, and the Mingshan Sect didn't have many children either, and they were all much older than him.

When Shi Bao first saw a child his age, he was immediately drawn to him, and the two children quickly became friends.

For once, Jiang Ming gave Wang Xu an admiring look.
