Damn it!
Feng Yi hasn't escaped virginity yet, how could he become a father?
This little girl in front of him must have gotten something wrong.
Yes, after the golden light faded, Feng Yi discovered that what hatched from the giant golden egg was not a bird, but a little girl about four or five years old.
Then this little girl actually tugged at his clothes and called him "Daddy" in a childish voice.
"Good girl, you've got it wrong, I'm not your daddy!"
Feng Yi stroked the little girl's brilliant golden hair and explained with a smile.
"But Daddy has the same 'scent' as me, I can't be wrong! Did Daddy not want me anymore? Wuwuwu t^t..."
The little girl burst into tears, thinking Feng Yi didn't want her and feeling extremely wronged.
A familiar "scent"?!
Could it be because of the River God's power?
Feng Yi's heart stirred. The little girl who hatched from the giant golden egg, being a product born from the River God's domain, mistook him for her father.
From this perspective, it made sense.
But to inexplicably become a father, how would he face Ganyu and Hu Tao in the future?
"You're so cute, how could Daddy not want you? Daddy was just joking with you!"
No matter what happened in the future, Feng Yi couldn't bring himself to hurt this child's feelings at the moment.
He could only find an opportunity later to explain to Ganyu and Hu Tao! Read books
Feng Yi took off his jacket and draped it over the little girl, covering her naked body.
The little girl had a pair of bright, clear eyes, luminous as a thousand stars.
When she heard that Feng Yi was joking, she smiled happily at him, her eyes curving into crescents, as if brimming with spirit.
Her every frown and smile revealed a natural, lively expression, making one marvel at her elegant and ethereal radiance.
"Daddy, I want a nice name!"
The little girl said, her eyes curved, hugging Feng Yi's leg.
"Since you don't like 'Golden Ingots,' let's call you 'Yuan Bao' then! How about it? Isn't this a good name?"
Feng Yi smiled confidently. What was so difficult about naming?
"Yuan Bao? Can... can I have another one?"
The little girl swung Feng Yi's arm, trying to act cute and coax him into relenting.
"Then Daddy will give you the decision to choose a nice name for yourself!"
Feng Yi: Rejected again! This cheap daughter has a picky taste!
Was his naming ability really that bad?
Yuan Bao was a good name, auspicious, symbolizing Mora, and bringing wealth!
"I... I can't think of one..."
The little girl lowered her head and thought for a long time, finally shaking her head and saying.
"Then let's keep Yuan Bao as a nickname for now. Tell me when you think of a better one!"
"Okay, Daddy! Yuan Bao understands!"
Yuan Bao stopped fussing and, with happy gestures, ran around Feng Yi playing.
(Dear readers, please forgive my lack of talent in naming. Let's just call her that for now. I'll start a thread in the comment section later. If any of you have good ideas, feel free to discuss them there...)
Yuan Bao seemed to have thought of something. She returned to the golden eggshell, broke off a small piece, put it in her mouth, and crunched on it.
"This is delicious! Does Daddy want to try?"
Yuan Bao, halfway through eating, looked up and saw her father staring at her. She picked up a palm-sized piece of eggshell, thought for a moment, then broke off another small piece from it, and handed the larger portion to Feng Yi.
This eggshell was her treasure; no one else could have any designs on it except Daddy!
"No, thank you! Daddy isn't hungry right now, you eat it, Yuan Bao!"
Feng Yi refused with a smile. This little girl was too cute, especially when she ate.
Her chubby little face, puffed-out cheeks, constantly stuffing eggshells into her mouth, made her look like a little squirrel eating nuts.
After eating all the golden eggshell, Yuan Bao still felt unsatisfied. She went to the silver giant egg, circled it twice, smashed it open, and began to devour it heartily.
Finally, after eating the silver giant egg and the ordinary giant egg, she lay contentedly on the stone platform to rest.
Feng Yi used his River God's Eye to probe slightly and understood Yuan Bao's intentions.
Yuan Bao had hatched early, and her origin hadn't been fully repaired, hence her "hungry state," urgently needing to consume the other two giant eggs to replenish her depleted origin.
"Daddy, where is Mommy? When can Yuan Bao see Mommy?"
After eating her fill, Yuan Bao suddenly blurted out, making Feng Yi freeze for a moment.
Yuan Bao's mother was the legendary phoenix, Phoenix. She should be in the Sea of Ashes in Natlan now, and they might never meet again.
"Your Mommy went to a faraway place. When you grow up, she will come back!"
Feng Yi couldn't bear to hurt Yuan Bao's innocent heart and vaguely explained. To be honest, if he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to go to the Sea of Ashes.
As the name suggested, the Sea of Ashes was a sea composed of ash, devoid of water or civilization, where desolation was its main theme.
Once one ventured deep into it, it was easy to get lost, let alone the issues of food and fresh water.
It was said to be a windless land, where even Barbatos, the God of Anemo, could not tread.
To go there to find Phoenix would be tantamount to seeking his own death!
"Then Daddy must miss Mommy very much, right?"
Yuan Bao blinked her bright, intelligent eyes, a subtle glint of thoughtful wisdom flashing within.
Yuan Bao's thought: Daddy saying this must mean Mommy has already passed away, and he doesn't want me to be sad. Daddy is so pitiful, living all alone!
Feng Yi's thought: Stop, don't imagine strange things. I haven't even met your mother, let alone miss her!
Feng Yi smiled without a word, picked up Yuan Bao, and walked towards the outside of the cave.
"Feng Yi, it's good that you're okay! Who is this child?"
After the golden light dissipated, Shenhe could finally move normally. But after only a few steps, she saw Feng Yi walking towards her, holding a little girl.
"I'm Daddy's good daughter—Yuan Bao. Who are you, big sister?"
In Yuan Bao's bright, sparkling eyes, a hidden light flickered.
Yuan Bao introduced herself to Shenhe. The other party seemed to care a lot about Daddy. If she could persuade her to be Mommy, then Daddy wouldn't be lonely in the future, right?
"Daddy? Feng Yi, you have a daughter!?"
Shenhe exclaimed, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes, which she quickly concealed.
She hadn't expected Feng Yi to have a child at such a young age. His wife must be very happy.
"Shenhe, you've misunderstood. It's a long story, I'll explain it to you later!"
Feng Yi knew this scene was inevitable. Yuan Bao's identity was bound to cause him some trouble.
See? Shenhe misunderstood, didn't she?
Feng Yi could already imagine how others would look at him in the future...
