Invincible Dad-Chapter 562 I’ve Gone Bald_1
Chapter 562: Chapter 562 I’ve Gone Bald_1
"Waah!" Beibei wailed miserably. Her shell was riddled with cracks, a clear sign of the torture she had suffered these past few days.
Yiyi held the conch girl in her arms, her voice soft as she said, "It’s okay now."
「In the living room.」
Ruan Lan exclaimed, "Beibei, it looks like you’ve lost some hair. Can monsters go bald too?"
Beibei cried even louder.
How could she not be going bald?
At first, she and Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai had been doing fine. They didn’t get much attention; after all, Qingfeng Camp was the elite of the elites of the Heavenly Court. Any one of them, if placed in the Immortal Domain, would be a top-notch expert. Who would care about two little shrimps who hadn’t even reached the Golden Core Stage?
But things took a turn for the worse. When the soldiers of Qingfeng Camp learned that she and Xiao Hai were serving a Heavenly Court Princess, the normally expressionless Heavenly Soldiers remained... expressionless.
But the next day, the number of training subjects shot up from zero to over a hundred. A few fearsome experts of an unknown Boundary and race even came to teach them various kinds of cultivation knowledge.
Beibei was somewhat okay, merely suffering from stress-induced hair loss and a few cracks in her shell. Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai, on the other hand, nearly had his dragon skin peeled off. He didn’t have a single intact Dragon Scale left on his body, and his majestic dragon horns were ground down into two small bumps... People would have believed he was a mutated earthworm.
"I’ve gone bald, but I’ve also become stronger," Beibei said, wiping away her tears.
Ruan Lan didn’t know what the conch girl had been through, but she felt sorry for her. She boldly patted her own chest and declared, "Don’t worry, I’ve got your back from now on. If there’s anyone you don’t like, I’ll just smash a couple of Formations at them!"
THUMP—
Ruan Tang knocked on her sister’s head. "I heard you skipped class again today?"
Ruan Lan, who had been full of bravado just a moment ago, spun around to face Xu Lai and cried out indignantly, "Brother-in-law, you betrayed me!"
Ruan Tang’s face darkened. "So you really did skip class!"
She had only been trying to bluff, never expecting that Ruan Lan had actually ditched school.
Clutching the Formation Chessboard, Ruan Lan frantically fled to her room on the second floor, not even staying for dinner.
"Can’t you do something about her?" Ruan Tang glared at Xu Lai. "You’re her brother-in-law. What will happen to her studies if she gets addicted to Cultivation?"
"That is a problem," Xu Lai nodded. "I’ll talk to her about it later."
The return of Beibei and Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai brought a new liveliness to Haitang Court. Xu Yiyi finally had company, and the little girl played until midnight before falling into a deep sleep.
At this time, a wide-awake Xu Lai was holding an equally sleepless Ruan Tang as they lay together on a wicker chair in the backyard, gazing at the stars.
"One, two, three, four..." Ruan Tang counted the stars, admiring them. "They’re so beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you," Xu Lai said, turning on his side to look at his wife. "If you really like them," he added seriously, "I’ll pluck them from the sky for you right now."
Ruan Tang rolled her eyes at him. "It will be the Qingming Festival in a few days," she said suddenly. "Will you come with me to visit my grandmother’s grave?"
"Of course," Xu Lai nodded.
"Then I’ll go with you back to your Sect to pay respects at the graves of your master and senior brothers," Ruan Tang said gently. "You should also try to persuade your senior sister to come live with us on Earth. That way, we can look after each other."
Xu Lai shook his head. "My senior sister won’t come."
Senior Sister Yu Guiwan doesn’t care about worldly opinions. Once she decides on something, no one can change her mind.
"We’ll just bring her some peeled grapes then," Xu Lai said.
Ruan Tang fell silent. She snuggled into Xu Lai’s arms, looking a little glum.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Lai was taken aback.
Why did her mood suddenly turn so gloomy?
"You’ve never peeled grapes for me." Ruan Tang’s beautiful, watery eyes shimmered. "I’m not jealous... I’m just envious."
"I’ll peel grapes for you every day from now on," Xu Lai said, hugging Ruan Tang tightly with a smile. "But you have to feed me strawberries."
"Strawberries?" Ruan Tang was a little surprised.
We don’t have any strawberries at home.
She replied, "Okay, I’ll go buy some for you tomorrow."
Suddenly, the two of them teleported from the backyard back into their room.
"No need to buy any. We have them right here at home."
Xu Lai’s words made Ruan Tang instantly understand his meaning. Her pretty face flushed a frightening shade of red, and she muttered in embarrassment, "You perv!"

「That night.」
Earth underwent a subtle change, one that only a very few could notice.
For instance, on the summit of an age-old snow mountain, a piece of greenery sprouted from a frozen chunk of ice, swaying slightly in the cold wind.
For instance, rain suddenly fell in an uninhabited no-man’s-land, and an oasis emerged in the belly of the vast desert.
For instance, rare and treasured animals that hadn’t been seen for a long time emerged from the deep mountains to bask in the moonlight. Their eyes, blinking, were now full of spirit.
And for instance, the Spiritual Energy in the air had become much denser than before.
"The Spiritual Energy of Earth is gradually recovering!" Ji Jie’s expression shifted.
In the coming years, once Earth’s Spiritual Energy fully recovers, this planet will see a significant increase in powerful Martial Artists. Or rather, Cultivators!
This was not good news for the Moon Clan. Chang’an City was already difficult to conquer. If Earth’s cultivation forces grew even stronger, the Moon Clan might face a backlash.
"Damn it, why does it have to be now!" For once, Ji Jie’s expression was utterly gloomy.
She looked at the nearby Mount Haitang, then turned and left.
Why is Earth’s Spiritual Energy recovering? That person clearly said that Earth would be an abandoned planet for the next five thousand years.
Ji Jie was filled with questions. She had to send this news back to the Moon Clan immediately. She needed to discuss how to handle this with her good-for-nothing younger brother and her reclusive father.
The very survival of their clan is at stake—there can be no delays!
Ji Jie came in a rush and left in a hurry.

「The East Sea.」
An island shrouded in mist year-round resembled a fairyland. This was the Penglai Sword Pavilion, the foremost of the Nine Pavilions.
The very center of the island housed the Sword Tomb, which was rumored to contain a million swords of all kinds. It was the Holy Land in the heart of every Sword Cultivator.
BZZZZZZ...
Countless swords trembled at once, emitting a crisp chorus of sword cries.
Within ten breaths, the sword cries ceased, and the area returned to tranquility.
An unkempt elder with ghoulish green eyes floated like a ghost through the Sword Tomb, searching for a sword that suited him.
Two Sword Pavilion disciples, who were "diligently practicing their sword skills" late at night while holding hands, were startled as they passed by.
"What servant is that crazy old man? How dare he appear in the Sword Tomb? Only disciples of our Sword Pavilion are allowed to come here and select a sword!" the female disciple said angrily. "Senior Brother Wu, let’s drive him out."
"..."
The man she called Senior Brother Wu said nothing. He scrutinized the old man with a mixture of surprise and suspicion before finally gasping, "Junior Sister, that’s the Pavilion Master’s junior brother, Senior Deng Xiaoyao."
"The Deng Xiaoyao whose sword-qi soars for thirty thousand miles?" The female disciple’s expression changed. "Senior Brother Wu, are you sure? Senior Xiaoyao disappeared sixty years ago, and it’s unknown if he’s even dead or alive."
"I’m positive," Senior Brother Wu said excitedly. "The jade pendant hanging from his waist is identical to one I’ve seen the Pavilion Master wear!"
"You two little ones, I have a question for you." The stooped elder turned around, his eyes flashing with a green light. "Who killed my dear grandson, Deng Shu?"
