His Biological Daughter, the Stolen Spear

Su Yu let out a sigh of relief. "That’s good. As long as she doesn’t grow that fast."

Ya Er fell silent for a moment before saying, "Master, you may have misunderstood me. I meant that the young mistress will not grow up anymore. Her body and mind will remain at the age of three forever."

"What! What’s going on?" Su Yu frowned, his voice filled with anger.

He had just gained a precious daughter, only to be told that she could not grow up and that her mind would never mature either. How could Su Yu not be angry? He had already regarded Su Yiyi as his own daughter.

Ya Er thought for a moment. "I don’t know the exact reason either, but I suspect it may be the consequence of Master using the power of time to make the young mistress be born early."

"Is there a solution?" Su Yu asked with a frown, guilt rising in his heart. If he had not been so eager for Su Yiyi to take human form, this would not have happened.

Ya Er was silent for a moment before replying, "Master, I don’t know how to resolve this either. I’m afraid you can only ask the other three lords when you meet them in the future."

Of course, Su Yu knew who the three lords Ya Er referred to were—the old man of the void and the other two Sovereigns.

Su Yu nodded dejectedly. Looking at Su Yiyi in his arms, he gently kissed her little face and said guiltily, "Yiyi, I’m sorry."

Su Yiyi was drinking dragon milk when she suddenly heard Su Yu apologize. She said blankly, "Daddy, what’s wrong? Did Yiyi make Daddy angry?" As she spoke, her tone became somewhat self-reproachful.

Su Yu held Su Yiyi tighter. "No. How could Yiyi make Daddy angry? Yiyi is Daddy’s most precious little treasure."

When Su Yiyi heard Su Yu call her his little treasure, she grinned happily.

Several days later, Tang San and the others returned from Sunset Forest. When they saw Su Yiyi sitting on Su Yu’s shoulders and heard her call him Daddy, every one of them stood there in a daze.

Oscar patted his face with both hands. "What happened over the past few days… How do you already have a daughter, Xiao Yu…?"

Everyone looked at Su Yu, wanting to hear his explanation. Lin Rou in particular, while the others kept sneaking glances at her.

Su Yu had already regarded Su Yiyi as his biological daughter, so he would not say that she was the transformed Cosmos Dao Flower. Instead, he said directly, "She’s my daughter, but she’s a little special. She only has me as her father and no mother."

Lin Rou’s face went pale as she said in a trembling voice, "She’s your daughter… Is there nothing else you want to say?"

Su Yu looked at Lin Rou and walked over to her. He wanted to pat her head, but Lin Rou immediately stepped back, her eyes reddening as she shouted, "Don’t touch me!"

What woman could accept returning to find that her boyfriend suddenly had a three-year-old daughter, yet he would not explain where the child had come from?

Lin Rou’s shout startled Su Yiyi, and she immediately began to cry. "Waaah, Daddy, this big sister is so scary…"

Su Yu hurriedly comforted Su Yiyi. "It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid, Yiyi. She’s Daddy’s girlfriend."

Then Su Yu looked at Lin Rou and said, "Xiao Rou, I’ll explain everything after Yiyi falls asleep."

Lin Rou was not unreasonable. She nodded. "Fine. I’ll wait for your explanation."

Xiao Wu and the other girls went over to comfort Lin Rou, while the boys quietly left on their own. It was best if they did not get involved in something like this.

After Su Yu coaxed Su Yiyi to sleep, he brought Lin Rou to the rooftop of a building. The two sat there, and Su Yu took Lin Rou’s hand. Seeing her expressionless face, he smiled. "Still angry? Yiyi isn’t my biological daughter, so don’t worry."

A trace of delight flashed through Lin Rou’s eyes, though it vanished in an instant. Still, Su Yu saw it.

"Then where did she come from?" Lin Rou asked as she looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu explained, "Yiyi isn’t human. You can think of her as a plant-type Soul Beast. The moment she took human form, she called me Daddy, and now I regard her as my daughter. This is what happened: she was originally a flower and was about to take human form. Because I was too impatient, I used the power of time to make her transform early. But an accident happened. She grew from an infant to three years old in an instant, yet she will never be able to grow any further. Her mind has also stopped at the age of three. I have no way to solve her problem, so from that moment on, she became my daughter, Su Yu’s daughter—my biological daughter! I have to take responsibility for this."

A look of pity appeared on Lin Rou’s face. "She’s so pitiful…"

Su Yu nodded. "Mm. This is all because of me…"

Lin Rou tightened her grip on Su Yu’s hand. "It’s okay. Maybe it’s a good thing that Yiyi will never grow up."

Su Yu gave a bitter smile. "I’ve comforted myself with the thought that it might be a good thing too, but what right do we have to decide Yiyi’s future? I’ll think of every possible way to help Yiyi recover."

Lin Rou smiled. "I’ll help you find a way."

Su Yu smiled faintly and nodded.

Several more days passed, and the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament was about to begin. Yu Xiaogang summoned the Shrek Nine Devils and Shrek Academy’s more outstanding students to explain the tournament rules and the matters they needed to pay attention to.

However, Lin Rou was absent. Su Yu had brought Su Yiyi along, but Lin Rou had not come. Su Yu said that Lin Rou was feeling unwell, so she had stayed behind.

As everyone listened to Yu Xiaogang explain matters related to the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Su Yu’s expression suddenly changed, and his fists clenched.

Yu Xiaogang noticed Su Yu’s change and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Yu, what’s wrong?"

Su Yu’s expression returned to normal. He smiled. "Nothing. Teacher, please continue."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and continued speaking. Su Yu thought to himself, Xiao Rou… I hope this is just a misunderstanding…

A few days ago, Yu Xiaogang had suggested that Su Yu place his Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear on Shrek Academy’s training field so the students could get a close look at the weapon of such an incredible figure as Su Yu. He hoped it would inspire some of them to cultivate harder. Since only people acknowledged by the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear could lift it, Su Yu was not worried about it being stolen and agreed.

But just now, he had sensed that someone had taken the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear and brought it out of Shrek Academy… The only ones who could lift it were Su Yu, Su Yiyi, Xiao Wu, Su Yu and Xiao Wu’s mothers, and Lin Rou. There was no doubt that Lin Rou had taken the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear away.

Su Yu did not immediately release his divine sense to lock onto Lin Rou. He wanted to hear Lin Rou’s explanation with his own ears when he saw her later. He did not believe that Lin Rou would betray him or betray Shrek for the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear.

Thank you all for your recommendation votes. I originally wanted to thank everyone one by one like before, but typing out all those names really takes too much time. With that time, I’d honestly be better off writing, so sorry about that. (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)
