Back For My Daughter-Chapter 16 - Is There A Fierce Beast?

Meanwhile, as Ye Qian and Yuan Meng entered the kitchen, Yuan Meng carefully placed the plates in the basin and started to wash them neatly.

As the basin was quite large and there were a lot of plates and stuff Ye Qian joined her in washing them.

"Hmm, when did you learn cooking?" As Yuan Meng was washing the plates, she suddenly asked.

"Oh, that was a long time ago!" Ye Qian said with a smile as he remembered the first time he entered the Lesser Heaven.

__________

The Lesser Heaven, Han Province. Year 100,295.

There were mountains all over and there were large trees and the place looked deadly silent as a man was lying there bleeding from his chest seemingly looking on the verge of death.

There seemed to be a short sword that was stuck in his chest obviously someone plunged the sword into the man's chest.

The man looked young and didn't have much cultivation. He was on the verge of death when suddenly a light shone on his body and all his wounds were healed.

He stood up from the ground and removed the sword from his chest, the wounds seemed to not affect him as he easily removed the sword stuck in his chest, slowly the wound started to heal.

But the man seemed to be different from before as his behaviour and body language seemed completely different from before.

If you were here you might have thought this was another man with the same face.

The man looked around with fear as he held onto the sword with his hands shivering.

"Ah where am I, there was a truck that hit me, the last thing I saw was before falling unconscious."

"Hmm, the area surroundings seems to be different." The man said to himself as he went near the pond and saw his face.

"Hmm, there is no injury on my body except for the wound on the chest which is healing rapidly, the air around here is also good free from pollution."

"Am I somewhere in the tribal village near the Himalayas?"

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his head.

He clutched his head with both his hands and kneeled on the ground wailing not able to bear the pain in his head.

"What is all this what I am seeing, and I am not on Earth, and what is this Lesser Heaven thing, where is Mengmeng. She is going to give birth soon."

"Did I do such a big sin as to not even see the face of my newborn?"

The man kneeled as he felt his voice chocked and he felt a lump growing in his throat.

"No, I promised my daughter that I will be there to take care of her so I will try my best to go back, but first I must learn about this world and then try to return."

"Better there is still time till I return to Earth." 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

The man thought and started to walk towards the forest with the short sword in his hand.

"Brrr."

"Ah, my stomach is empty."

Soon he found a small armadillo-like animal and killed it, after cooking it somehow with some dried twigs and leaves, he ate it while almost puking from the taste.

"Ah, it tasted like bitter gourd mixed with a lot of chillies."

He somehow ate the thing to fill his stomach and lived empty stomach for a few days when he didn't find anything to eat.

"I have to keep myself up or I will be killed before even meeting them again." This was what he used to say whenever he used to think that there was no use living.

He kept on saying until he started cultivating.

Soon after, he started cultivated and the Han Dynasty made him a soldier and he started deliberately cultivating as he earned and cooked food for himself.

He then found the technique of Spirit Stove while on a mission on the Ying Dynasty and received his heritage and methods and cooked some food that was worth eating considering from before as he didn't know how to cook.

He slowly started making good food. Soon his cooking was liked by most og the people and he was known as the Saint Chef. And later more names were called to him.

Let's get back to the present.

Looking at Ye Qian who seemed to be in a daze Yuan Meng wiped her hands and waved them in front of him a few times to wake him up and asked, "Hey Qian'er what happened to you?"

She placed her palm on his head and asked seemingly worried about him as he went without any proper clothes in such cold weather to bring the groceries.

"Hmm, nothing I just remembered some tough times that lead to me learning cooking." Ye Qian said in a self-mocking smile.

Yuan Meng felt bad after hearing him say such words, she thought 'What did he go through to change him so much. He must have suffered a lot all these years considering he has changed completely except for his love and care.'

Noticing that Yuan Meng had a worried look on her face he brought his hands to hers and said while holding them.

"The things that I have gone through are nothing compare to how you lived all these years while also taking care of Qiqi, for that I owe you a lot. And I will try my best to love and care for you both."

As he said Ye Qian brought her hands and kissed them lightly.

Seeing this Yuan Meng blushed and pulled her hands back saying, "We have all the time to say things after we wash the plates here." 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Yes, Let me wash them you just dry them off." Ye Qian placed his hands on her waist and pulled her back and took her place and started washing the plates.

Meanwhile, he simply smiled and nodded while seeing him washing the plates, took the cloth beside, and started wiping them.

Meanwhile in the Living Room Little Qiqi was sitting on the sofa with Jiao saying.

"Big Sister now that Papa is back Qiqi will also play with Papa like others."

Little Qiqi said with a beaming smile.

Jiao patted her head and said, "You must look after Papa so that he will not run away again."

"But Big Sister, Papa promised Qiqi and Mumma that he will not leave us again, and the Gods were also there as he promised." Little Qiqi said as she remembered how there was lightning when her Papa promised to stay with them

"Ha, what's with the Gods were also there, thing?" Jiao asked in puzzlement.

"Big Sister you won't understand! Hehe." Little Qiqi said as she smiled while hiding her teeth.

"Ha, what's the thing that I, Jiao won't understand, ha" Jiao seemed to be provoked.

"Ok, so what is Sister Meng going to do now that your Papa is back?" Jiao suddenly asked Little Qiqi who was watching her favourite cartoon on the TV.

"Hmm" Little Qiqi looked puzzled by her question.

"Oh, how would you know you are still a child," Jiao said as she pinched Little Qiqi's nose.

"Hehe Big Sister, when are you going to marry, Little Qiiqi is waiting to see you in the dress you seem to be getting old."

"Hey, Little girl why do you seem like an old grandma to me." Jiao again pinched Little Qiqi's nose and said.

"I am not Old Grandma, Humph" Little Qiqi pouted cutely as Jiao called her Old Grandma.

'Don't just talk I also know how to make you quiet. Hehe.' Jiao snickered as she saw Little Qiqi stopped talking.

A few minutes later Ye Qian washed his hands and said "Ok now everything is done Qiqi must be waiting for us let's go."

Yuan Meng tilted her head and smiled as she saw him having some sweat after washing.

She took a handkerchief and gently patted it on Ye Qian's forehead.

"Thanks." Ye Qian said and held Yuan Meng's hands and said "Let's go out now!"

"Hmm." Yuan Meng nodded and followed him behind.

As they entered the Living Room Ye Qian and Yuan Meng saw Jiao was watching Tv while Little Qiqi seemed to be dozing off.

Ye Qian and Yuan Meng come to the sofa while Ye Qian carried Little Qiqi to the bedroom while Yuan Meng walks behind him.

Yuan Meng helps Ye Qian place Little Qiqi on the bed and goes to search for Jiao.

"Hey, Jiao it's too late now how about you sleep here tonight." Yuan Meng said after seeing that Jiao was about to walk towards the door.

"Sister Meng, Ye Qian is here and you should have some time spending with each other now."

"You grumpy girl who told you that you will sleep with me and Qiqi, you must sleep in the guest room." Yuan Meng felt that Jiao looked completely like an idiot.

"Ah hah, See Sister Meng abandoned this Little Jiao all alone after meeting your husband." Jiao looked like she was an abandoned puppy looking at its master.

"What are you saying Jiao when did I abandoned you are you trying to make up things. Humph."

"If that's what you want then you can go." Yuan Meng looked annoyed by Jiao and said.

"Hehe, who said that I will leave Sister Meng, look sister Meng it's too cold outside and I am a beautiful young flower, what if some hoodlums try to take advantage of me."

Jiao said as she brought her hands together and smiled cheekily.

Hearing the commotion Ye Qian came out and said "Mengmeng what happened?"

"Uh nothing I was just saying Jiao to stay here for the night." Yuan Meng said as she rubbed her temples thinking what Jiao said before.

"Oh, that's a good idea the weather is also cold outside and there were some people out there who didn't seem to be good. Miss Jiao, you must stay in the Guest Room." Ye Qian said as he gave a thought.

"Won't I be a fishbone in between you two?" Jiao said while smiling.

"En, didn't I tell you would stay in the Guest Room." Ye Qian's eyes widened as he heard her words.

"Ok, I will say here If you insist so much."

"Ugh" Yuan Meng almost felt like slapping Jiao for her behaviour. She also felt a headache coming.

"Hehe, Sister Meng how about you show me the room and you guys go to Little Qiqi soon."

'Uh, this is the first time that I will have to sleep in the guest room while living with Sister Meng and Little Qiqi. You Ye Qian better keep them happy or I will bite you. Humph.'

Jiao thought as she eyes Ye Qian and followed Yuan Meng to the Guest Room.

Ye Qian who was going back to Little Qiqi, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood up.

'En why do I feel it again, is there an ancient fierce beast in this City.'

Ye Qian thought as he entered the bedroom while looking around with caution.
