The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Xiao Yuehan obediently agreed with a few words, then reminded her father that the alchemy furnace was about to explode.

Chu Qianqiu had been using his spiritual power to stoke the fire in the alchemy furnace, but while chatting with his daughter, he had almost forgotten to control the temperature. When he turned around and saw it, he was startled and quickly extinguished the spiritual fire in his hand.

"Damn, you scared me! Luckily, you reacted quickly, my daughter!"

After stabilizing the temperature of the alchemy furnace, the father and daughter stayed together and chatted for the whole day.

During this time, Gu Qingxue often brought food to the father and daughter, and stayed with them for a while.

Chu Qianqiu held his daughter in his arms, refining pills while occasionally looking up at the sky, feeling that his life was already quite fulfilling.

"Oh, by the way, daughter, why don't you call me 'Dad' anymore and instead call me 'Father'?"

After spending some time together, Chu Qianqiu suddenly thought of this question and curiously asked.

Xiao Yuehan thought to herself, "You finally noticed this. She smiled and obediently replied, "Father, I changed the way I address you because none of the other children in the family call their fathers that way."

"I remember when I was little, you always wanted me to call you 'Dad', but none of the other children did, so I thought I'd try something different."

"Calling you 'Father' feels more intimate. Calling you 'Dad' is also fine, but I got tired of it."

"Now that I'm already a mature one-year-old, I need to learn to change things up, call you different nicknames, and maybe change back in the future."

Chu Qianqiu: "...Impressive."

"Oh, by the way, Father, I have a great plan. I want to change your nickname every once in a while. When I'm one year old, I'll call you 'Daddy', when I'm three, I'll call you 'Dad', when I'm five, I'll call you 'Father', and when I'm eight, I'll call you... um, I haven't decided yet."

"Anyway, I want to give you many different nicknames in the future. Calling you 'Dad' all the time is too monotonous."

Chu Qianqiu: "...Alright."

Chu Qianqiu had no problem with his daughter's playful heart. It was very good for a child to have such a mentality.

Having a child with this kind of mindset was more in line with his expectations. Otherwise, if Xiao Yuehan had always been so mature, he would have suspected that there was something mysterious about her soul.

In fact, shortly after his daughter was born, he taught her to call him "Dad" because he was a time traveler.

In his original world, all children called their fathers "Dad", and he was used to it, so he asked his daughter to try saying it too.

His daughter, of course, obediently called him "Dad" all the time. But maybe she noticed that no one else called their fathers that way, so she felt a bit embarrassed and changed her address.

But he didn't mind at all. Since he had come to a new world, he would just go with the local customs.

Here, children mostly called their fathers "Father", so he gladly accepted it.

...

A few more days passed.

During these days, Chu Qianqiu had been closely monitoring the situation in the alchemy furnace and controlling the temperature.

Xiao Yuehan also watched by his side. Sometimes when her father didn't pay attention and increased the temperature too much, she would subtly remind him.

Chu Qianqiu wasn't sure if that counted as a reminder, as his daughter didn't explicitly say it, but he had a feeling, both overt and covert.

And in the process of taking care of the alchemy furnace together, his Drive Away Evil Pills were completed earlier than he had imagined.

Moreover, because he controlled the temperature perfectly, the first batch of experimental pills he tried refining had achieved the most satisfactory results. All six Drive Away Evil Pills were successfully made without any mistakes.

Furthermore, these pills were all of the highest quality, with a glossy appearance, reaching the limit of what Drive Away Evil Pills could achieve.

"Could it be that I am still an alchemy genius?"

"Haha!"

Taking out the evil-expelling pills that he had been longing for, Chu Qianqiu carefully put them into a customized box, then laughed heartily.

Little Yuehan clapped her hands beside her father, truly happy for his talent.

Honestly, although she had been secretly hinting to her father all along, he was also very perceptive and understood everything.

But it was still very difficult to refine all top-quality pills on the first try.

Even in the celestial realm, she had never seen anyone with such talent.

The few people she had met were all later recognized as alchemy saints, and the major sects were fighting to have them as their divine hands.

Her father still had some potential.

"Daughter, don't move from here, I'm going out for a while."

Happily holding his pills, Chu Qianqiu left home and headed to the place where Qinglian was.

In the southwest corner of Yuefeng City, in a small medical clinic.

At this moment, Qinglian was taking care of her grandfather in her shop, and she hadn't seen Chu Qianqiu for several days.

In the past few days, although she often went to see Young Master Chu, claiming that her grandfather's condition was improving, she also obtained valuable prescriptions from him.

But in reality, her grandfather's condition had worsened again in the past few days, with the return of coughing up blood.

Because he had taken Young Master Chu's medicine, which allowed a large amount of elemental energy to enter his body, her grandfather did indeed recover and become a normal person for a period of time.

But what Qinglian didn't expect was that the evil bead in her grandfather's body seemed to have sensed the sudden "charging" of his body and intensified its absorption of his essence.

Now, the greediness of this bead was several times greater than before.

If her grandfather didn't continue to take the prescription given by Young Master Chu, then this bead would accelerate the taking of her grandfather's life.

Today, Young Master Chu's prescription had been used up, and she felt embarrassed to go and ask him for more medicine.

So, watching the bead torment her grandfather even more, Qinglian felt quite distressed and didn't know what to do.

"Alas, this thing really hasn't let me go."

Lying on the bed in the shop, Old Qiu coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and returned to his previous weak state.

"Qinger, if I'm gone, don't blame Young Master Chu. It's not his fault. He probably doesn't even know that the bead in my body can devour the effects of the medicine... and intensify it."

"If this bead isn't removed from my body, I will never get better. Besides, I'm tired of these days of torment. I still want to thank that young man for giving me a normal life these past few days."

"Miss, you must thank him. You can't let someone's kindness go unappreciated, cough cough..."

Old Qiu struggled to say many words, all heartfelt.

Upon hearing this, Qinglian nodded quickly, indicating that she would definitely do so, but she felt a sense of sadness as if her grandfather was giving her his last instructions.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the shop.

Qinglian went out to check and was surprised to see Young Master Chu coming to see her, feeling a bit embarrassed to let him in.

"I heard your grandfather coughing just now."

Chu Qianqiu said directly, knowing that this girl was quite shy and that only a strong man could persuade her.

So, he grabbed her hand and barged into her shop, asking her to lead the way to where Old Qiu was.
