Ye Han tried to bait the Baby Groot as he spawned in many things such as toys, dolls, super fertilizer and etc. He really had no idea what Baby Groot wants, but Baby Groot was unyielding as he held tightly on Ada's shoulder. Ada chuckles as she saw the defeated Ye Han kneeling on the ground with things scattered around him. Ada pats Baby Groot's head as she whispered some words onto him, Baby Groot slips off her shoulder and slowly walks toward Ye Han who had his eyes dimmed like there was no future for him.
Baby Groot slowly nudge his hand as Ye Han's eyes slowly went bright, he carefully touches baby Groot in the head as Baby Groot touches Ye Han's pinky finger with his adorable small branch hands. Ye Han was in cloud nine as he puts Baby Groot in his shoulder, he felt so powerful with just a Baby Groot by the shoulder. Ada pats blackie in the head as his owner had already forgotten about him, Xiao fu on the other hand just jumps onto Ada's arm as she climbs it like a koala bear. Ye Han ordered blackie to stay and not cause troubles in this realm as he grabs Ada and teleports back to his mansion.
When they arrived in their room, they could hear someone knocking onto their door. Ye Han opened the door and saw Haruhime and the girls, he asks carefully
"Yes?"
"Dad, Lunch is ready...."
"Ah! I see, just wait for a few minutes. Your Mom and I are getting ready."
Ye Han wave them off as he closed the door, he sighed as there were too many conflicts in his mind. Baby Groot could sense emotions being unstable, he just gave Ye Han a hug in the neck. Ada could also sense his conflicted thoughts, but she only gave comfort to Xiao Fu who was peacefully sleeping in her arm. Men always need alone time to think, she sighed as she also feels the same. It took them a few minutes before rejuvenating and going to the dining room to eat. They could smell the cooking of their daughters as Haruhime had already set the table while Lili carried the stew while Ais carried Monster Turkey. Ye Han said with delight
"Looks like we have a feast. :)"
"Hehe, I bought it at a discount! " -Lili
Ye Han gave her a thumbs-up as Baby Groot hid on top of his head, they enjoyed the lunch thoroughly as they gained a big stomach from eating too much. He wondered what his parents would think when they introduce their children to them. Would they be shocked that they would have more than 5 grandkids in the future and only a few years have passed by?! Well, he shrugs that thought off as only time will tell, he secretly gave Baby Groot a sweet candy to which Baby Groot surprisingly ate. He thought for a while before saying this to his daughters
"I have an idea, Why don't you guys try to battle me? I mean, its been like a long time since we battled..."
Ye Han remembered the good old days, where he just used his serpent punishing stick and easily blocks off their attacks like it was nothing. Lili and the girls had their eyes burning with determination as they haven't even beat their father in a duel and yet they were too focused on dueling each other. They both look at each other as they silently agreed on something, even getting softly hit by the serpent punishing stick was still hurtful as Ye Han added the technique for it except the strength. Though Ye Han always helps them rub it off away, it was a trauma for them. Lili said
"Dad, if we win? What do we get?"
"Aiyoo...Are you really making your dad give you guys a reward? Fine fine...What do you want?"
Lili and the girls discussed as he always gave them what they want except on a normal level as if he spoiled them too much it would make them too spoiled, Lili was like the leader for the girls as she said with them agreeing
"We want Dad to take us out of the city and go to the other cities!"
"What?! No deal!"
Ye Han strongly disapproves as outside the city was very dangerous, well at least in his mind it was dangerous for his daughters even if they could beat up a level 6 adventurers. Who knows how many great quest monsters that are still alive and not in their respective dungeons, he blamed his own stupid mouth for telling them about stories of the outside world. Lili and the girls insisted as they drag their mom to the conversation, Ada just sighed as she said
"Just do it! It's not like you can't protect them from danger?"
"Of course I can! I am the strongest, if I say I'm number 1, no one is gonna claim it!"
"Pfft, then you have to agree that if they win, this is their reward..."
"Fine...Tsk...."
Ye Han was very motivated on beating his daughters in this training exercise as he thought of bringing in his mighty Ryuji Jingu but decided against it as it would be too overkill. He sighed as he thought of one mighty stick that should do the job, the girls had their back sweat a lot as they could feel the dangerous aura from their daddy as he slowly walks toward the storage room where the Serpent Punishing Stick was stored, Ais even spoke with a stuttering voice
"Da....d....Isn't...It...Unfair...to...use..that?"
"Ye...ah"-Haruhime
"Co...me...on...Dad....Put...That away~" -Lili
"What unfair? *smirk* Everything is fair in Love and War, and this is World War 1!"
They felt like they dug their own grave as Ye Han tested the stick with his palm, the sound of pat pat made the girls feel the danger coming towards them. Ada and Xiao Fu showed their condolence expression as they went to the kitchen to make snacks and beverages for the match which would happen tonight.
