Chapter 1427 Mengmeng’s Ambition
Mengmeng cried.
Zhang Han’s eyes were also red.
She had gotten used to Zhang Han’s company in her daily life when she didn’t have to think about anything and was carefree. She was used to seeing her father every day. His gentle smile was like the sun, which made her feel warm.
While she was under such circumstances, it was conceivable that Mengmeng was depressed because she hadn’t seen her family for a long time.
At this moment, she was crying hard.
She got the piece of cloth on Zhang Han’s chest wet.
“It’s okay now. It’s okay.”
Zhang Han gently touched Mengmeng’s head with his right hand and used the other to gently pat her back.
But his effort was in vain. As long as Mengmeng started crying, she could not stop.
After a full five minutes, Mengmeng sobbed and said, “Dad… Daddy, did you… miss me?”
“I did. I’ve been thinking about you day and night,” Zhang Han said softly.
“Then why didn’t you come to pick me up?”
“I…”
Zhang Han didn’t know what to say.
He felt that whatever he said would just be an excuse. He was very guilty, so he said, “I’m here too late. I really wanted to come earlier, but…”
“I knew it.” Mengmeng sobbed a few times before continuing, “I knew you must have wanted to pick me up earlier.”
At this point, she felt much better.
Her crying helped relieve her pressure and sadness.
She held Zhang Han tightly in her arms and looked up at him from time to time.
“Where’s Mummy?”
“She…” Zhang Han’s expression froze for a moment. “She’s in a place rather far away. I haven’t been there yet.”
“Let’s go now. Don’t waste time. Mummy must miss us very much.” Mengmeng let go of Zhang Han, raised her hands, and wiped her tears.
“We don’t need to rush into it yet.”
Zhang Han’s gaze was a little complicated. Perhaps he was struggling.
He had been thinking about this problem along the way. Should he take Mengmeng with him?
In fact, he planned to settle Mengmeng in the Chu Family’s place, which was relatively safe. In his case, he took action less and less often, and he had a long way to go. He might encounter dangers, and he would never put Mengmeng in danger.
In short, Zhang Han didn’t dare to take Mengmeng with him.
In the past, when he was not injured, he thought it was safest for her to stay with him. But now that there was something wrong with his body, he had to consider things in a different way.
Mengmeng had no attachment to Orchid Peak at all.
“Daddy.”
Mengmeng raised her head slightly. Her eyes were unusually bright at this time, blinking. Suddenly, she giggled a few times.
“Hahaha, this is awesome. I knew you would definitely find me.”
“Definitely.” Zhang Han smiled.
After Mengmeng vented her sadness, she couldn’t help smiling. At this time, she was very happy.
“I waited for you for such a long time that it got me worried. What took you so long?”
Mengmeng pouted. She pretended to be unhappy as she said in a childish tone, “You don’t like me anymore, do you? Are you into someone else? You’re here so late!”
Her tone was full of resentment.
It was as if the man in front of her had broken her heart.
Zhang Han didn’t know how to react. He said helplessly, “I slept for ten months and spent two months looking for you. I didn’t waste any time on the way here.”
“Hee hee, I knew it,” Mengmeng said with a grin.
She held Zhang Han in her arms as if she were a little kid.
“It’s wonderful that you’re finally here to pick me up!”
Right at this moment.
Swoosh!
A figure quickly flew over from not far away along with a cheerful voice.
“Junior Brother Zhang, I’m here to see you. My father will start the class in a while. Let’s go to study.”
Swoosh!
When the girl landed in the yard, she saw Zhang Hanyang throwing himself into a man’s arms.
“Good heavens!”
The girl’s eyes widened. “Junior Brother Zhang, why, why are you with a different man now?”
“What?”
Mengmeng was stunned.
“Why did Senior Sister come over at this time?”
Zhang Han was also a little confused.
“What does she mean by that?
“Oh my god!”
In an instant, Zhang Han gasped.
“Could it be that Mengmeng has a boyfriend?”
Mengmeng rolled her eyes. She was no longer as calm as she used to be when she was in the sect. She became lively again.
“Ahem.”
She coughed softly and suppressed her voice. “That’s right. I’m now with a different man. Let me introduce him to you. This is our new junior brother, well, my new darling.”
“Junior Brother Zhang.”
The young senior sister’s eyes trembled slightly.
“Alas, this is crazy.
“When will I get to help Junior Brother Zhang change his sexual orientation?”
“Senior Sister, you can go back first. I’m not going to class today.” Mengmeng waved her hand generously and said, “I need to talk with my new darling.”
“This is not okay.”
The young senior sister was quite sulky.
She didn’t have a good temper, but when she was at Mengmeng’s place, she had to be calm.
At this moment, she stamped her feet in depression, looked at Zhang Han with hatred, and turned to leave quickly.
She looked like she was going to eat Zhang Han alive. It was as if Zhang Han had taken away her man.
Zhang Han found it quite unbelievable.
The senior sister left.
Before Zhang Han could ask her anything, Mengmeng took his arm and said, “Daddy, let’s go there.”
They sat down in a pavilion in the yard.
“So what’s up with the new darling you mentioned?” Zhang Han couldn’t help but ask first.
“It’s a long story.”
Mengmeng grinned and said, “As soon as I came here, I met two inner-door disciples who were both perverts. They took me to a remote room.”
She paused.
Zhang Han’s eyes were slightly gloomy.
Even though he knew that everything was fine and she was fine, he was so angry that he couldn’t hold back his killing intent when he heard this.
“I killed them.”
Mengmeng pursed her lips and laughed. Then, she snorted softly and said, “Humph, how dare those two idiots act arrogant in front of me? I couldn’t let them stay alive, could I? Later, I thought I should keep a low profile here. With my pretty looks, I disguised myself as a man and passed the assessment. I sneaked into the inner court. I thought that I would make a name for myself so that you could find me sooner, so I studied pellet refining hard. Now I’m very famous. The Peak Host keeps asking me to be his disciple, but I didn’t agree.”
“Later, that senior sister fell in love with you.” Zhang Han smiled softly and then asked in confusion, “From what she said just now, you have got a friend before me, right?”
“Yes. His name is Xiong Fengran,” Mengmeng said with a hint of cunning in her big eyes.
“Who is Xiong Fengran?” Zhang Han asked with a smile.
“He’s the youngest son of the Command Beast Peak Host,” Mengmeng said.
Zhang Han’s breathing quickened a little. “And then?”
“What do you mean by then?” Mengmeng said with a smile, “We usually hang around and hug each other. Senior Sister thinks that I’m with Xiong Fengran, so she always wants to help me change my sexual orientation. Also, she doesn’t know that I’m a girl.”
When Zhang Han heard this, his pupils shrank and he got up. “Where is Command Beast Peak? I’ll go and take a tour. Yeah. It’ll just be a tour.”
“You don’t need to go over. He’s here.” Mengmeng pointed to the figure flying over from the horizon.
Zhang Han looked over in that direction.
“Ow?”
Xiong Fengran’s eyes were wide open, and he increased his speed.
“My host! Ow! Ow! Ow!”
Dahei happily called out in its original voice.
“Huh?”
Zhang Han’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help laughing.
“This girl is truly naughty.”
“My host.”
Dahei was flying. When it arrived at the yard, it turned into a chimpanzee that was about 1.5 meters high. It was about to carry Zhang Han.
Zhang Han had no choice but to be held by Dahei.
“My host, I missed you so much!”
Dahei was roaring.
“Alright. This should be enough.”
Zhang Han patted Dahei on its head, looked at Mengmeng, and said with a smile, “How did you guys meet?”
“Dahei found me.” Mengmeng said, “It has also been on the Vast Heaven Star. It was taken to Command Beast Peak and was taken away by a guy named Xiong Fengran. He wanted to eat Dahei, but Dahei killed him. No one else knows that Dahei can transform, so he pretends to be Xiong Fengran and has been staying on Command Beast Peak for a while. Later, he found me.”
“That’s nice.” Zhang Han smiled.
Mengmeng said with a smile, “I was quite surprised when we met.”
“…”
They didn’t stop talking and just sat there chatting all afternoon.
“I miss your cooking, Daddy,” Mengmeng said.
“Okay.” Zhang Han smiled and said, “I still have some ingredients left from the ones I brought from the mountain.”
He had never eaten or taken out the rest of the ingredients.
He walked into the kitchen and began to cook.
About half an hour later, he made braised ribs, braised pork trotters, and so on, which were all Mengmeng’s favorite dishes.
It was an extremely sumptuous meal. Zhang Han even roasted an entire pig for Dahei to eat.
“It would be great if Mummy were here.”
Mengmeng was sometimes happy and sometimes disappointed. She was worried about how Zi Yan was doing.
“I guess she should be doing nice. Her strength is erratic. Whoever messes with her would suffer a lot. There won’t be a big problem since she has Tiny Tot with her.”
Zhang Han thought for a moment and said, “However, I need to go and find her as soon as possible. I’m not going to take you with me this time.”
“What?” Mengmeng’s face changed. “How can you not take me with you? No! Can you bear to leave me here alone?”
“No.” Zhang Han sighed softly and said, “But there’s nothing I can do about it. It will be a long way to go. Your mum is not in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. It will be very dangerous to cross the Star Area.”
“I’m not afraid of danger!” Mengmeng suddenly put down her cutlery and looked at Zhang Han with a little grievance.
“Mengmeng, I love you.”
Zhang Han rarely said the word “love”, but at this time, he said it affectionately with a hint of self-blame in his tone. “But I can’t guarantee your safety with my current situation.”
“What, what happened to you?” Mengmeng suddenly noticed something. She looked at Zhang Han carefully with her big eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Han knew that he had no choice but to say it.
He took a light breath, smiled, and said, “Last time, in the main hall in the air, the Demonic God of the Domain of Seven Desolations launched a sneak attack on me at the critical moment when I was condensing the embodiment. I had been sleeping there for 10 months, and my soul was damaged. Therefore, when I take action, I would be restricted a lot. However, I need to find your mum and your grandparents, so…”
“Dad, why did you get hurt?”
Mengmeng’s big bright eyes were filled with tears.
“There was nothing I could do about it.”
Zhang Han raised his hand to touch Mengmeng’s head and said, “I will definitely come back within a year. I can feel that your mum is in a place very far away, but not so far either. Well… in the Astral Domain, there is a very safe place. It’s the Chu Family’s place, where Chu Qingyi used to live. I used to teach their Grand Master. I want you to stay at their place for a while. A year will pass very fast when you cultivate.”
“Daddy, you’re hurt. I should take more care of you. I’m also very powerful now. I’m already at the Elixir Realm Peak Stage. I’ll soon reach the Yuan Ying Realm,” Mengmeng said.
She just did not want to be separated from Zhang Han again.
“But, if I drag you down, I can stay here.” Mengmeng changed her tone and said in a low voice, “I’ll cultivate hard and wait for you to come back. I won’t hold you back. When I become powerful, I can protect you.”
As she spoke, Mengmeng raised her head and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
In the depths of her eyes, a trace of determination flashed.
It was a determination to cultivate, a desire to become powerful.
She hoped that she could stay by her family’s side no matter what happened, and she could also protect her parents in the future.
On this day, in the Crimson Sunglow Sect on Orchid Peak on the Vast Heaven Star.
Under the night sky, Mengmeng’s ambition for cultivation took root and grew in her heart.
