Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Ghosts Frown, Iron Egg King

Watching Wang Tianyi being supported by Le Yuanguang, Wang Hao yelled excitedly, “Wow, Dad, I missed you so much…”

Le Xuan grabbed Wang Hao and asked in a low voice, “Wang Hao, what mischief are you planning now!?”

“Let me go!” Wang Hao gave Le Xuan a look of disgust, “When I meet Dad, of course I should be moved to tears. Unlike you, heartless and indifferent.”

“I’m heartless and indifferent, I’m unmoved…” Le Xuan glared with wide eyes, fuming at how this scoundrel was up to no good but now turning the tables on her.

“You’re Xuaner?!” Le Yuanguang saw Le Xuan, his hoarse voice trembling, tears swirling in his eyes.

“Daddy!!” Le Xuan’s body stiffened, ignoring the mischief-maker Wang Hao, and with tear-filled eyes, she sprinted into the embrace she had longed for.

“Haha, my Xuaner has grown up and become so beautiful…” Le Yuanguang, overtaken with emotion, shed tears of joy while tightly holding his daughter he had missed day and night.

Wang Tianyi evaluated Le Xuan, nodding with satisfaction. He was extremely pleased with his daughter-in-law, not only for her stunning beauty but also for her courage in braving dangers to rescue her father on Heavenly Demon Star.

The fact was that women of such loyalty and virtue were rare these days. Should he not keep such a gem for his own son, rather than letting her slip away to someone else?

At the same time, Wang Tianyi was already pondering when to set the wedding date and how much dowry would be appropriate.

“Considering the time, Haoer’s mother should also be returning soon. We’ll oversee our son’s wedding together, and from then on, our family of three will never be apart…” Warmth filled Wang Tianyi’s eyes.

Wang Hao had no idea what Wang Tianyi was thinking.

At this moment, he was squinting at Le Yuanguang.

Based on the aura Le Yuanguang revealed during the fight, his cultivation was much weaker than that of his dear old dad.

But he had also reached the level of Martial Venerable and seemed to have received some remarkable legacy.

“Is this Le Yuanguang!? Could he also be a favored son of Heavenly Dao!?” Wang Hao thought it over but felt that Le Yuanguang was probably not a favored son of the Heavenly Dao.

According to what the system had just said, a necessary condition for being a favored son of the Heavenly Dao was to have a great love in one’s heart.

But this Le Yuanguang seemed to be the type of person who centers himself in everything, with no distinction between right and wrong in his eyes, only personal likes and dislikes.

Because of his likes, he could become a solitary Ranger.

Because of his likes, he could give up being a Ranger to marry Yun Chuyao, the Female Martial Emperor who had a foothold in both the righteous and the underworld.

And out of liking, he became close friends with his dear old dad, bound by life and death.

Also because of his likes, he abandoned his wife and child to go on a mission with Wang Tianyi, ending up trapped on Heavenly Demon Star for eight years.

…

So one can conclude that the likelihood of Le Yuanguang being the darling son of Heavenly Dao isn’t very high.

“Since that’s the case, I might as well focus on tricking Dad—no, on being a good son!” Wang Hao took a deep breath, then opened his arms wide and ran excitedly towards Wang Tianyi, “Dad, I’ve missed you so much…”

“Haoer, Dad is sorry…” Wang Tianyi’s eyes brimmed with tears, his heart filled with guilt towards Wang Hao.

You see, when Wang Hao’s mother left, he had repeatedly assured her that he would take good care of Wang Hao.

But he ended up trapped here for eight years, leaving Wang Hao to live alone for the same duration. How could he not blame himself, not feel guilty!?

Just when everyone was touched by the scene unfolding before them, Le Xuan pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, “Pfft, always putting on an act!”

Curious, Le Yuanguang asked, “My precious daughter, what do you mean? Does this kid like to show off that much?”

Le Xuan nodded vigorously, whispering, “Dad, you don’t know, Wang Hao has two nicknames out there, one is ‘The Sorrow of Spirits,’ and the other is ‘Iron Egg King.'”

“The Sorrow of Spirits? Iron Egg King!?” Le Yuanguang was stunned. What an interesting set of nicknames!

Le Xuan explained in a low voice, “The Sorrow of Spirits signifies that Wang Hao is very cunning. Whenever he shows up, someone is bound to be unlucky, so nobody wants to run into him. As for Iron Egg King, it means Wang Hao is stingier than a miserly rooster; you can’t pluck a single feather from him.”

“There’s such a thing!?” Le Yuanguang became interested, having not expected the upright Wang Tianyi to have such a son.

Le Xuan kept nodding, “Dad, let me tell you, Wang Hao has been out there using all sorts of deceit, swindling, and shameless tactics, and he has actually managed to form an Ace Army in less than a year. You can imagine how crafty he is.”

“No way!? He’s only eighteen, right?” Le Yuanguang was flabbergasted.

“Reluctantly, I have to admit, but Wang Hao is indeed a legendary character,” admiration filled Le Xuan’s eyes, “His rise to power took only about a year and a half. In this short period, he became the second-largest shareholder of Skyfire Company, a Marshal in the Military Department, the vice-chairman of the Potion Guild, and he’s even commanding an Ace Army of his own. The scariest part is, in the last battle against the Alien Race, he beheaded fifty million of them.”

“My dear daughter, are you sure you’re not joking?” Le Yuanguang was dumbfounded. He had thought that only Wang Tianyi could be called a freak of nature, but who knew his son would be even more extreme.

With a helpless nod, Le Xuan affirmed, “Wang Hao is very cunning. On the battlefield, not only does he calculate against the Alien Race, but he doesn’t even spare his own people. In the end, both sides suffer heavy casualties, with only him coming out full and content.”

“He’s an interesting little guy,” Le Yuanguang chuckled, then curiously asked, “I’ve heard that Wang Hao signed a treaty of land cession and indemnity, but after what you’ve said, I feel that with Wang Hao’s personality, he wouldn’t be tricked by anyone. What’s really going on here?”

“I don’t understand it very well either,” Le Xuan’s brows furrowed, “All I heard was that a Martial Saint of the Alien Race appeared, forcing the Human Race’s upper echelons to stabilize the situation with the Aliens and then concentrate on repelling the Dark Elves. Once the Dark Elves were temporarily pushed back, they would deal with the Alien Race. But what nobody can understand is why Wang Hao stepped forward, volunteering to be imprisoned to quell the civilian protests in various places.”

“He chose to be imprisoned!?” Le Yuanguang was stunned; do prisoners appear here? That’s too much of a bluff to the common people, right?

“Only that fox knows what he’s up to,” Le Xuan shook her head seriously, “But there’s one thing I’m absolutely certain of; Wang Hao never does anything without purpose. If he acts, then in the end, someone will definitely suffer, and he himself will rake it in. The scheme he’s cooked up this time is too complicated, so there will certainly be many who end up in big trouble.”

Le Yuanguang burst into laughter, “My darling daughter, it seems like you understand Wang Hao quite well?”

Le Xuan puffed up with frustration, “Of course, I understand him. Ever since I came from Earth, I’ve been witnessing this shameless scoundrel constantly pushing the limits of humanity’s understanding of shamelessness…”
