Daughter Of The Dao And Devil Venerable

Chapter 157

Chapter 157 – This Is My Daughter, Lu Yaoyao

Beneath a cloudless sky, the early sunlight cast a soft glow as a gentle wind fluttered the robes of the assembled cultivators. Even with the vast crowd, the square remained remarkably still, save for the small figure of a certain white dumpling making her way through the packed masses.

More and more cultivators noticed the movement. They instinctively moved a bit to create a path, their gaze following the little girl as she advanced.

Lu Yaoyao found the way ahead becoming increasingly wide. She looked up to see a path opening before her, with countless eyes watching her in surprise and curiosity. Still, Lu Yaoyao walked forward with confidence, telling herself repeatedly: this is nothing, don’t panic!

When she finally reached the steps, she walked up without hesitation. At the top stood her Father, looking at her. His usually cold eyes softened at her sight.

Lu Yaoyao smiled sweetly, then proceeded forward with determination. All the attention and curious gazes didn’t faze her in the slightest; her only thought was to reach her Father and proudly stand by his side. Her cheeks flushed with excitement. At first, she thought Father wouldn’t publicly acknowledge their relationship and simply let nature take its course. She was a little disappointed back then, especially because it meant she couldn’t properly send off Grandmaster as his granddisciple.

Unexpectedly, Father called her up.

Lu Yaoyao felt fearless. She was even relieved that she no longer had to conceal the truth from her master, senior brothers, and friends. She knew Father called her up today because he had decided to reveal her identity.

Although Father never explicitly said so, Lu Yaoyao vaguely sensed his reluctance to let too many people know of her existence, perhaps out of various concerns. Initially, she felt aggrieved, but after thinking about it, she could understand his worries. The Cultivation Realm was unlike the Devil Realm and Father’s character was also very different from that of Daddy, so their way of handling things was not the same.

Father constantly worried she was spoiled by Daddy, thinking she needed more hardship for growth, fearing she’d become too soft. He believed in letting her face challenges, yet he was the one most concerned about her facing dangers. He knew the moment the Three Realms learned of Dao Venerable Hengwu having a child, she would become the target of endless scrutiny. Any slip could lead to her harm. Not everyone would like to see her grow safely—once her existence was known, she would become a clear target. So, Father thought, at least if she could defend herself, he could be more at ease even when she was venturing out on her own.

Daddy, on the other hand, was bold and imperious. He was the absolute being in the Devil Realm, and his subjects all feared him. Anyone daring to target his daughter would face consequences worse than death. Moreover, he had given her an army that obeyed her commands unconditionally, making it unlikely for devils to threaten her…

After understanding this, Lu Yaoyao no longer felt wronged. Both Father and Daddy loved her so much, and that was all that mattered. Although she was unsure why Father changed his mind suddenly, she was the daughter of Dao Venerable Hengwu, and she had nothing to fear.

Meanwhile, the cultivators in the square looked up in bewilderment, especially those who recognized Lu Yaoyao. Wasn’t that Martial Uncle Mo’s newest disciple? Why did His Venerable call her up? Was there some hidden story here?

As for outsiders, they also looked up at the little dumpling, feeling curious inside. What was so special with this girl that His Venerable personally summoned her? Could it be that he wanted to take her as his personal disciple? But that seemed unlikely; judging from the uniform on her body and her position in the line just now, she was already a personal disciple of an elder.
