While four clans including the Cui Clan were discussing about what to do with the sudden appearance of Jian Shen and his Eternal Palace Realm pet because Cui Yan hadn't had the time to explain their relationship yet, Jian Shen himself was in a bit of a pickle himself.
With the little girl adamantly calling him her father, it looked like he'd just have to go along with her.
After all, every time he tried to explain the truth to her she'd instantly start crying after saying 'Papa hates me!'.
Still, there was one thing which allowed Jian Shen to relax a little.
And that was how the little girl rejected the proposal of every woman who wanted to pass off as her mother.
"Little girl, tell me your name."
Hoping to find out where she came from and who her family was with her name, Jian Shen found out that she actually didn't have a name.
As for whether she didn't have one or didn't remember her name, Jian Shen didn't try to find out about it.
"You'd never be able to find out anything about her background, Jian Shen. She's someone who most likely was born in the Dao Realm and was sent down here to grow up safely by her her family."
Nodding his head, Jian Shen was about to say something when the girl that was still hanging from his neck suddenly said something.
"Papa, give me a name!"
Looking at the golden-haired little girl in shock since he didn't expect to be asked to do such a thing and also because he sucked at coming up with names, Jian Shen discretely looked at the women around him.
Unfortunately, though all of them were very curious about the girl and wanted to spend time with her, they ignored his eye contact as if wanting to see him fail.
'A name..?'
Seeing the love-filled eyes of the girl who truly seemed to believe that he was her father, Jian Shen couldn't even bring himself to randomly give her a name.
Therefore, while showing warmth and tenderness in his eyes along with a smile, Jian Shen slowly said, "Yanyu. Jian Yanyu. How is it?"
Nodding her head with a wide smile as she hugged him even more tightly, the girl instantly accepted the name.
"Yanyu! Yanyu! Yanyu!"
Chanting her own name and causing everyone to smile a little, the girl, no it should be Yanyu, Yanyu made Jian Shen think that she was happy with her name and patted her head.
"Hehehehehe.... "
Grinning happily for as long as Jian Shen's hand rested on top of her head, Yanyu who had been searching for her family since the time she opened her eyes inside the Divine Realm finally felt happy from finding them.
Having gone as for as to not just give her a name but his own surname as well, Jian Shen no longer tried to bother finding out about her past.
Regardless of what her past was since he had decided that she would be his daughter than she belonged to him right now.
He wasn't going to let anyone change that.
"Tell me Yanyu, is my wife a beautiful woman?"
Nodding her head repeatedly, Yanyu used the minimum grammar she knew and said, "Very beautiful! Mama very beautiful!"
Deliberately smiling as if he was very excited to tease the women who were glaring at him, Jian Shen did start thinking about who this girl's mother was.
After all, given how cute she looked right now, Yanyu was destined to grow up into a heaven shaking beauty.
Therefore, it was only normal that her mother would also be a beauty.
Thinking about this, Jian Shen started thinking about what he would do if he someday met the girl's real mother. Would he just hand Yanyu over?
Humph! He'd just turn Yanyu's mother into his own woman instead!
There was no way he was going to give up his cute little daughter to anyone. Even if it was her own mother.
Like this Jian Shen who was lost in his thoughts frowned from sensing someone walk near the courtyard and enter it.
But what made him frown even more was the very first sentence the woman who entered said, "Brother in law, have you missed me?"
Rolling his eyes at how the one who entered this time wasn't a little girl for him to just accept her words, Jian Shen saw his women regain smirks on their faces.
However, there was one person who seemed to not like the presence of the newly entered woman more than her so-called brother in law.
It was Cui Yan.
Frowning hard from having guessed what was the intention behind her coming here, she said, "What are you doing here Wu Ning?"
"Oh, if it isn't Cui Yan herself. Has your clan finally decided to throw you away as a political chess piece?"
"Humph! Is a married woman like you here to shamelessly try and seduce someone that isn't even a tenth of your age?"
"So what if I am? If the young hero wants it, I'll happily serve him inside the bedroom after he marries that girl."
Knowing who that girl was since she didn't think there were many others within the Wu Clan who could be considered good enough to be used for a political marriage, Cui Yan said, "Too bad your trip here is all in vain. Jian Shen is already married and doesn't intend to take any more wives."
