Usually, Yu Xiaogang wakes up early every day, but today, even after the sun shined brightly high in the sky, it did not affect their sleep; instead, he was already awake but still pretended to be asleep.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at the charming face in front of him and was reluctant to wake up. Even his face turned red as he thought of last night's actions.
He felt an unprecedented comfort, and his spirit-energy was flowing rather slower than usual, but it was slightly thicker as compared to before.
Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes and glanced outside through the window. He turned his face back and lightly kissed Liu Erlong's forehead and said, " Wake up, Erlong! Don't you wish to meet Yan'er? " Even he himself did not realize that as compared to past, his tone was much softer, and eyes were full of tenderness.
Liu Erlong blinked her eyes a few times before she twisted her body out of his embrace and murmured in a low voice, " It still hurts! " Although her tone seems like complaining, yet there was a content smile on her face.
No one would believe that Liu Erlong, the female tyrannosaurs, was behaving like a little kitten in front of him. Let alone other people; even Yu Xiaogang had a hard time believing despite watching with his own eyes.
Yu Xiaogang was sitting on the bed when he heard her complain and couldn't help but smile and asked, " I can eliminate your pain. " Liu Erlong immediately shook her head and refused.
Yu Xiaogang stood up and started wearing his clothes and turned his face towards her and said, " Erlong, I am going to prepare breakfast, " and stepped out of the room. The latter smiled after hearing him and also started wearing clothes after he left the room.
Yu Xiaogang walked towards Yu Yan's room after leaving his room, and he was surprised to see the latter meditating. He quietly left the room without disturbing the little girl. Yu Xiaogang entered the bathroom and took a quick shower before walking towards the kitchen.
With the ingredients available in his storage device and the utensils present in the kitchen, he cooked a vegetable porridge and meat buns. By the time he was done, the little girl had already arrived in the kitchen after completing her meditation.
" Yan'er, how did your exercise went? " Yu Xiaogang had already sensed her arrival, and he asked without even turning around.
" Father, yesterday you were going to take me to meet my mother? " Instead of answering his question, Yu Yan retorted back with her own question. The little girl puffed her cheeks and showed her anger.
Yu Xiaogang was left speechless with her question, and as he was about to answer, both of them heard a voice, " Xiaogang, where is Little Yan? " And before long, Liu Erlong's figure appeared in the kitchen.

Yu Yan blinked her eyes as she carefully looked at Liu Erlong and inwardly thought, " Is she, my mother? She is so beautiful! She seems to be more strong than father. " At the same time, Liu Erlong was also looking at the little girl, and motherly instinct surged in her eyes as she thought of what Yu Xiaogang had told him last night.
Finally, Yu Yan, who always wanted to have a mother of her own, hesitantly asked, " Are you, my mother? " As soon as the words came out of her mouth, a figure kneeled on one knee in front of her and hugged her tightly.
" Yes, my child. " Liu Erlong's voice trembled as she tried to control her emotions. Little Yan, who had gotten her answer, also excitedly hugged her back, and both Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong could hear her murmuring, " I finally got my mother. " Even Yu Xiaogang's body trembled a little, let alone Liu Erlong.
Yu Xiaogang brought the dishes and said, " Come on, the breakfast is ready. " It attracted both the little girl's and Erlong's attention successfully. The three of them sat together and began eating the meal.
Compared to before, the little girl was more cheerful and active while eating, and she constantly asked questions. She asked, " Mother, are you more powerful or father?
" Of course, it's me, dear. " Liu Erlong answered without slight hesitation. Yu Yan turned her face and looked at her father as if she wanted to confirm what the mother just said. Before Yu Xiaogang could answer, he felt another gaze; of course, Yu Xiaogang knew it was Erlong and helplessly nodded. After getting her answer, the little girl looked at her mother with reverence.
Which parent doesn't want their children to idolize them? Although she had just met little Yan, yet Liu Erlong was already very attached to her. Although Yu Xiaogang felt a bit bitter, he shook his head slightly and thought, " I finally have a family. " The word " Family" has always been a sore point for him but not anymore.
While eating Erlong, suddenly sensed that her spirit energy's pace of circulation in the meridians had increased several times as compared to yesterday; after carefully checking, she confirmed that she had broken through and reached rank 80 spirit-douluo.
Liu Erlong could not believe that within a single night, her rank increased from 75 to 80. She glanced at Xiaogang and asked him, " Xiaogang, did you bring an immortal herb for me? "
Yu Xiaogang, who was eating, shook his head after hearing her and denied. He was curious and said, " Why do you ask? " She replied, " My rank increased by 5 levels and, now I have broken through to rank 80 spirit-douluo. "
Yu Xiaogang went silent after he heard her, and Yu Yan also looked surprised at how strong her mother is.
He began to think and suddenly remembered the difference in his own spirit-energy; after checking carefully, he thought, " Sure enough, even I have broken through, and my spirit-energy has increased to 42. "
This sudden discovery increased his confusion because up till now; he, couldn't increase even a single bit of his spirit-energy through normal cultivation; if it were not for the divine core within the black pearl, it would be extremely tough for him to promote the Devouring Codex through regular means.
After thinking for a while, he could only think of what they had done last night, and a word came up in his mind, " Dual-Cultivation. " Still, it would be nearly impossible to increase 5 ranks over a night. Yu Xiaogang could only associate it with his incomparably pure spirit-energy via Devouring Codex.
Yu Xiaogang looked towards Erlong and mouthed the word, " Dual-Cultivation. " Liu Erlong, who was already waiting for his response, felt startled before her face started getting red as she read his lips.
Yu Yan, who was eating the food like a good baby, couldn't help but ask out of concern after seeing her mother's face getting redder, " Mom, are you okay? " She continued, " Father, look mother's face is red. Is she sick? "
Liu Erlong felt more embarrassed after hearing her daughter's concern and couldn't help but glare at Xiaogang as if saying, look at the good things you do. She placed all the blame on him and thought of getting even with him after sending Little Yan back to her room.
" I am fine, Yan'er. " Liu Erlong replied with a smile on her face, and Yu Yan felt relieved after hearing her.
Soon, Liu Erlong left after eating the food, and as the dean of the academy, she had a lot of things to manage. Yu Xiaogang gave the day free to his daughter to play at the academy. He was not worried if anyone would harm her; instead, he was worried about the person who dared to touch his daughter. Moreover, he needed time to figure out all the changes which had happened after yesterday, as he could feel that it was not as simple as increasing one rank.
