The chirping sounds of the birds awakened Xue An early in the morning.
He rarely slept so soundly.
In fact, after he embarked on the path of cultivation to attain immortality, he had hardly even slept at all.
Xue An wanted to get up, but then he realized that his two daughters were sprawled all over him, snoring loudly while they slept.
The two girls, who looked as though they had been sculpted out of jade, resembled each other exactly. The way they looked when they were fast asleep was simply cuteness overload.
Xue An smiled and felt his heart suddenly quieting down.
All the bullsh*t fights among the immortals had to be cast aside.
From this day on, he was going to be a qualified manny!
“Papa, don’t go!” Xue Xiang suddenly mumbled something in her sleep, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
“Papa isn’t going to leave you girls again. I’ll stay, forever and ever!” Xue An said softly. It seemed as though he was talking to his children, but it also seemed as though he was telling himself.
It wasn’t until late in the morning, when the sun was up, that the two sisters, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, finally woke up.
Xue An pinched the chubby little faces of the two girls with his hand. With a smile, he said, “You two lazy little pigs. Only waking up when the sun is shining down on you?”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian looked outside to see that the sun had long been high in the sky and both couldn’t help getting all worked up with anxiety.
“Aye, hurry up. Today, Papa’s going to take us out for a big meal!”
With a flurry of frenzied movements, the two girls were dressed and finished washing up.
Xue Nian first sat on a tiny foldable stool while Xue Xiang stood in the back and skillfully combed her sister’s hair, then they switched, and Xue Xiang sat down while Xue Nian stood behind to help her older sister comb her hair.
Looking at the two children’s skillful technique, Xue An’s eyes couldn’t help but become teary again.
“You girls… Is this what you usually do?”
“Yes, yes. Auntie Xuan’er says that we are girls, so when we go out, we have to look clean and tidy. That way, we won’t be looked down upon by other people!” Xue Xiang said with a serious look.
Xue An was a little tickled.
By now, he had also figured out the temperament of his two daughters.
Xue Xiang was the older sister. When it came to temperament, she also behaved like a little adult, and the way she talked was rigid and scrupulous. Sometimes, people couldn’t help feeling at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xue Nian was the younger sister. In comparison, she was much tamer and more bashful.
After the two daughters had finished packing up, Xue An’s eyes unconsciously lit up.
The two girls were in the exact same clothes, with the exact same hairdos, standing there as though there was a mirror in between them.
Even Xue An found it a little difficult to tell them apart.
The two girls turned a few rounds and asked while laughing, “Papa, look at us. Who do you think is the older one, and who is the younger one?”
Xue An was already feeling a little dizzy and said, “I don’t know! I really can’t tell you girls apart!”
“How silly Papa is! You see, I’m the older sister because my left dimple is slightly deeper.”
“I’m the younger sister because my right dimple is a little deeper!”
Xue An looked at his two intelligent daughters and couldn’t help moving forward to pick them up in his embrace.
“Let’s go, my two precious babies. Let’s go eat a big meal!”
On the busiest pedestrian street in Beijiang City, Xue An carried his two daughters, one on each arm, and swaggered through the street.
Xue An was originally handsome, a man extraordinaire. Now, with an additional three thousand years of experience, he even exuded a mesmerizing charm that was compelling.
In addition, the two young ladies who looked completely identical were very well-behaved and simply too cute for words.
Such a combination naturally attracted countless pairs of eyes.
Many people unconsciously stopped in their tracks, emerging hints of smiles visible on their faces.
“Papa, where are we going?” Xue Xiang asked discreetly.
“We’re going to eat hamburgers, of course!”
Xue Xiang pulled a few dollars out of her pocket and clutched it tightly within her small palms as she handed it to Xue An.
“Papa, this is the money we earned from selling flowers!”
Xue An froze for a moment.
Then he realized Xue Xiang’s intentions.
This was just a little four-year-old girl, yet she was worried he didn’t have the money to take them out for a meal!
Xue An couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“My sweet daughter. There’s no need. Papa has money!”
Previously, Xue An had put some loose change in the piggy bank at home. Now, he returned to find that the money was still there.
Although it wasn’t a lot, only a thousand-odd dollars, at least they could make do with it for the time being.
As for the future…
Xue An was, after all, an immortal lord. Why did he even need to fret over how he could earn money?
Frankly speaking, the hamburgers didn’t taste good, but Xue An still ate with relish.
So long as he was in his daughters’ company, then whatever he had to eat simply didn’t matter.
“Are you full?” Xue An asked.
“We want to pack what’s left and eat it tonight when we go back home!” Xue Xiang said softly.
Xu An was momentarily stunned. Then, with a sigh, he said, “Xiangxiang, Niannian, take a look at Papa!”
“I know that you girls have suffered much up to now. But now that Papa has come back, whatever you want to eat, and whatever you want to play with, just tell Papa. Papa will make sure that all your wishes are satisfied! There’s no need for you girls to be so sensible. Papa will be so heartbroken! What you girls should do is have fun and eat to your hearts’ content!”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian nodded, but it seemed they didn’t fully understand what he meant.
“Let’s go! We’ll eat ice cream!”
In the evening, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were each hugging a huge teddy bear, happy smiles plastered all over their faces.
Xue An followed behind. Watching the hopping and skipping figures of his two daughters from behind, he couldn’t help smiling.
“Papa, where are we going?” Xue Xiang asked.
Xue An smiled and said, “Let’s go buy something! Then Papa will cook something delicious for both of you!”
“Yeah!” As soon as she heard that there would be delicious food, Xue Nian, who was a legitimate food lover, cheered.
Xue Xiang flicked her sister on the forehead out of exasperation that she could do nothing to change her love for food. She parked her little hands by the sides of her waist and reprimanded, “Eat and eat and eat. All you know how to do is eat. Look at your face. It’s so chubby that it’s already a circle!”
In fact, her face seemed to be a little rounder than her sister’s, but Xue Nian simply shielded her head as she giggled in a silly manner.
Xue An brought his daughters to Beijiang’s largest medicine trade market.
Xue An was going to buy some medicinal herbs there and then refine them into Core Reinforcement Pills.
Core Reinforcement Pills were the most basic type of pills.
Mortals could enhance their physical abilities upon consumption.
Xue An was preparing these herbs to refine them into the pills for his daughters.
Once an immortal lord, refining pills like this was naturally a piece of cake for him. However, even immortal lords couldn’t conjure medicinal herbs out of thin air.
Especially since there was a scarcity of Spiritual Qi on Earth, there wasn’t really any herb that was enough for him.
So, after walking around the market, Xue An couldn’t help but feel faintly disappointed.
“Oh, isn’t this the Great Master Xue?”
Xue An raised his head for a look and saw a man in a western-style suit and leather shoes. By his side, there was a woman dressed in ostentatious clothes and heavy makeup.
Xue An frowned slightly and thought for a moment before he could recall who this person was.
Lin Feng, his high school classmate from way back then.
This person’s family ran a business in the medicinal herb industry, and quite a large-scale business at that. He could be considered the rich second generation.
But even when Xue An was still in school, his relationship with this person was already quite unpleasant.
“I heard that four years ago, you, Great Master Xue, disappeared without any news. Why are you suddenly back?” Lin Feng asked. He couldn’t help but look Xue An up and down.
When he noticed the old-fashioned clothes that Xue An wore and the fact that everything on Xue An’s body was from stalls set up on the streets, the disdain on his face grew even stronger and more apparent.
Xue An wasn’t bothered by these things.
Would anyone even bother with a mere ant?
Lin Feng said again, “Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This should also be someone you know!”
With that, he gestured to the woman beside him.
“Speaking of which, the two of you are old acquaintances! Isn’t that so, Du Juan?”
Du Juan.
It was then that Xue An finally remembered.
No wonder this woman looked so familiar. She was, in fact, also one of his high school classmates from way back when.

It was simply because during her schooling, Du Juan was very good at using her pretty looks to gain things. To the handsome Xue An, she gave no rejection, but she didn’t offer any acceptance either. All the while, she had played hard to get with Xue An.
It wasn’t until later on that Xue An finally understood what was happening, so he began to study with great diligence and finally made it into the University of the Middle Capital.
He hadn’t expected to see these two people here.
A faint smile began to appear at the corners of Xue An’s lips.
