The Celestial's heart felt like it was about to be ripped to pieces. Things which had once been the most important in his life, but had vanished along the way, were suddenly brought right back to the forefront thanks to Du Lingfei's words.
He suddenly saw her as a child, tugging at his garments and calling him daddy in her cute, girly voice.... He wasn't sure exactly when it happened, but somewhere along the line... she had stopped calling him daddy, and started calling him father.
"Fei'er...." he said, trembling physically, his pupils constricting.
After all... this was his daughter, his own flesh and blood.
The Celestial was the mighty ruler of the entire world, and yet, had never had many Daoist partners. Over all the years, he had never had a son. Du Lingfei was his only daughter, and in fact, his only child.
