Chapter 4926

“We don’t seem to know each other, do we?” Kai asked the old man.

“No, but we do now, don’t we?” the old man replied with a smile.

Kai was speechless. He didn’t even know the old man’s name, and the old man didn’t know his. How could he say they knew each other?

“Sorry, I need to cultivate and don’t wish to be disturbed.”

Kai was clearly unhappy and asked him to leave.

But the old man didn’t budge. Instead, he sat down casually on Kai’s bed.

Kai frowned, growing more alert. He was ready to summon the Dragon Slaying Sword at any moment.

“Don’t be so tense. I’m not here to hurt you—and I know you’re all human cultivators,” the old man said with a slight smile.

Kai’s eyes narrowed at his words. He quietly activated a formation to seal the room completely.

If this old man knew their true identity as humans, he couldn’t be allowed to leave so easily.

The old man noticed but said nothing. He continued smiling and said, “I already told you—there’s no need to be nervous. If I intended to harm you, I would’ve reported your identity when I first discovered it. The fact that I didn’t proves I mean no harm.”

“And besides, I know you were led here by the Great Dao from the Heavenly Realm…”

The old man’s words left Kai even more confused. How could this stranger possibly know that? Kai had already concealed his human aura with the beast race’s energy—there was no way to detect his true nature.

And how could he know Kai had come from the Heavenly Realm?

As Kai wrestled with confusion, the old man’s smile suddenly vanished. In the next instant, he reached out and grabbed Kai by the neck!

The move was so fast that Kai didn’t have time to react.

“You… what are you doing?” Kai asked, struggling to understand the sudden attack.

“Tell me—why do you have the blood of my clan in your body?” the old man demanded.

“The blood of your clan? What clan are you talking about?” Kai asked, bewildered.

“To be honest, I’m also a cultivator from the Heavenly Realm. I’ve been guided by the Great Dao for hundreds of years.”

“I sensed the bloodline within you and knew you were from the Heavenly Realm. But I don’t recall anyone like you in our family!”
The old man spoke coldly.

“Senior, are you from the beast tribe that was led from the Heavenly Realm?” Kai, now in the old man’s grasp, started addressing him respectfully.

“Of course! If I weren’t from the beast tribe, how could I live in Rhino City?” the old man snapped.

“Then, Senior, may I ask what type of beast tribe you belong to? I want to try and recall it,” Kai said, still confused about the supposed family bloodline and hoping for clarification.

“In the Heavenly Realm, I was known as the Fox King,” the old man replied.

At the mention of “Fox King,” Kai immediately thought of Bai Qian, the Fox King’s daughter.

They had cultivated through dual practice multiple times, even undergoing blood fusion. Bai Qian’s body carried his blood, just as his body carried traces of hers.

“Senior, may I ask what your relationship is with Bai Qian?” Kai asked.

“She’s my daughter…” the old man answered.

Kai was stunned. He hadn’t expected to run into his father-in-law here, in this strange place guided by the Great Dao.

Bai Qian had never mentioned her father, but it felt reassuring to find a familiar connection in this unfamiliar land.

Having many women might be troublesome, but at times like this, having fathers-in-law everywhere wasn’t such a bad thing…

Without warning, Kai dropped to his knees with a loud plop, startling the old man.

“What are you doing?” the old man asked, shocked.

“Father-in-law, please accept your son-in-law’s respects…” Kai said, bowing repeatedly.

The old man stared at him in disbelief. “What do you mean? You’ve been with my daughter…?”

Kai nodded. “Bai Qian and I have cultivated through dual practice, so our blood and aura have merged…”

“Are you telling the truth?” the old man asked, still skeptical.

“I wouldn’t dare lie, Father-in-law.”

With that, Kai began to explain everything about Bai Qian in detail to the old man.
