Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 541 - 542

Time flowed by like water, slipping away quietly.

Wu Tian and the little one had already returned to Yang City. Since his accommodations were limited, he spoke with Qin Yuhan before heading to Xia Qian’s herbal medicine company. There, Wu Tian easily found the other herbs needed to supplement the King of Poppies.

It was August in Yang City, and the weather was stiflingly hot. Even with a fan, one couldn’t help but feel greasy all over. Only air conditioning provided any real relief.

In the neat room Xia Qian had prepared for him at the company, the air conditioner was already running. The window curtains were drawn, but a little sunlight still managed to stream inside.

Wu Tian sat within a large wooden tub, circulating the Formless Starry Sky Scripture. With each breath, he seemed otherworldly, almost divine. The water in the tub was azure, a concoction brewed from the King of Poppies and other herbs. As Wu Tian breathed and cultivated, the azure water transformed into wisps of mist that slowly entered his body.

This feels truly comfortable.

His Spiritual Sense was repairing itself, little by little.

Many miraculous things are bound to happen this month, and this poppy flower... it feels as if it were born just for me.

Wu Tian’s Spiritual Sense expanded, encompassing all of Yang City. The bustling traffic and winding alleys could not escape his spiritual eye. The water in the tub rippled as the azure mist surged even more vigorously into his body.

Finally, his Spiritual Sense grew vast enough to cover the entire Dragon Country. He could see the Lord of the Four Seas reviewing documents and many elders inspecting troops. Beyond that, even in the remote corners of the Dragon Country, he could clearly perceive what countless people were doing.

In the room, as the azure mist rapidly surged from the tub into Wu Tian’s body, the water’s color grew progressively fainter. Eventually, the water returned to normal, becoming transparent and indistinguishable from ordinary water.

Now, the entire Earth could not escape Wu Tian’s perception.

Yet, his Spiritual Sense was still not fully repaired. To focus on a complete recovery, Wu Tian closed his eyes and sank into a deep sleep, temporarily blocking all his perceptions. He would be oblivious to whatever happened in the outside world during this period.

I should be perfectly safe here at the herbal medicine company.

However, as the saying goes, even a saint can make a mistake, and even a fool can have a moment of insight.

「In the CEO’s office of the herbal medicine company」

Xia Qian was buried in paperwork, but her thoughts drifted to Wu Tian. She felt she should check on him. Wu Tian was powerful, but the King of Poppies didn’t sound like a simple thing to handle.

Just as Xia Qian started to get up, her secretary, Li Xiaolu, stopped her. "Sister Xia Qian, you still have so many documents to deal with. Why don’t I go check on him for you?"

"Well..." Xia Qian hesitated.

"Sister, don’t you trust me?" Li Xiaolu smiled. "You hired me as your secretary right after I graduated. I’ll never forget your kindness. To me, you’re not just my boss..." She blushed, looking slightly embarrassed. "You’re like an older sister to me."

Xia Qian was briefly taken aback, but then she smiled and agreed. "Go check on him, but come back and tell me what’s happening immediately, no matter what. Understand?" Xia Qian knew that refusing her would hurt the young woman’s feelings.

"Okay," Li Xiaolu nodded.

She immediately left the office and headed to the room Xia Qian had prepared for Wu Tian. Xia Qian had given her the key.

Opening the door, she saw the handsome, refined man in the wooden tub, seemingly fast asleep. Gazing at him, a flicker of infatuation appeared in her eyes. She quickly shook it off, stepped closer, and called out, "Mr. Wu Tian? Mr. Wu Tian..."

But Wu Tian was in a deep slumber, completely unconscious as he repaired his Spiritual Sense.

An idea suddenly struck Li Xiaolu. She took a deep breath, hesitating for a moment before her eyes hardened with resolve. She had made a wild decision.

Wu Tian wasn’t naked; he was still wearing swim trunks in the tub.

Gritting her teeth, she pulled Wu Tian out of the wooden tub. The movement naturally made some noise, but seeing that Wu Tian hadn’t woken, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The herbal medicine company was bustling with people, but Xia Qian’s management was excellent. Everyone was focused on their own tasks, and no one chattered while on the clock. Li Xiaolu dressed Wu Tian and led him out of the room. The staff who saw them didn’t say anything, assuming she was following Xia Qian’s orders.

She took Wu Tian to the parking lot, placed him in the back seat of her car, and drove away.

Soon, she arrived at her rented apartment, not far from the company. Her cheeks flushed with shyness, but she still carried the unconscious Wu Tian into her bedroom.

Her bedroom was decorated in a typical feminine, pink style, and the air was filled with a charming fragrance—far more pleasant than any man’s room.

But the most striking feature wasn’t the decor. The walls were plastered, floor to ceiling, with newspaper clippings and photos. On a nearby desk sat an unfinished portrait. The figures in these newspapers were all people of talent, wealth, or power.

"Wang Congming, the ’Nation’s Husband’: Fleeting Influencers, Unbreakable Brotherhood!"

"Mr. Yun Ma Attends..."

"Star Actor Hu Ge Begins Filming New Movie in Hengdian..."

"Sword Emperor Defeated by the Martial God!"

Among all of them, the articles about Wu Tian were clearly the most numerous.

The drawings on the desk were all portraits of handsome men, and the unfinished one she was currently working on was of Wu Tian. She had vividly captured his features, but with an added touch of wickedness.

Perhaps it was true that women love a "bad boy." The Wu Tian in the painting was her imagined version of him.

Now, she placed Wu Tian on her bed. What was she going to do?

First, she slowly removed her own clothes.

"Wu Tian, do you know? I like you. I really, really like you," she whispered.

"Back when I was in university, I was obsessed with celebrities like Li Yifeng and Kris Wu. But in the end, out of all of them, I chose you!"

"You’re the most outstanding of them all. You have the looks, the talent, the strength, and the money. You’re completely perfect."

"Of course, I don’t dare to dream of being your wife. I only hope I can be your lover."

Her eyes gazed at Wu Tian’s body with infatuation. She pulled the blanket over them, bit her finger, and let a drop of blood fall onto the bedsheet. Then, she lay down beside him.

She had lost her virginity back in middle school, but she had to make Wu Tian believe she was a good girl whose first time was taken by him. She felt she had no other choice.

I don’t want to struggle anymore. It’s so exhausting.

Lying beside him, she was just about to make her move when the aura of the King of Poppies emanating from his body made her drowsy. She quickly drifted off to sleep.

If I just do this, I won’t have to struggle at all! I can get the kind of money and power that would take a lifetime—no, ten lifetimes—to earn...
