"I feel like I'm about to reach the eighth level of National Martial Arts, but the Innate..." Ye Hao smiled wryly.

"Is the Innate realm very difficult? Ye, don't worry, we'll all wait for you." Su Qing looked at Ye Hao with reassurance. At this point, she also believed what Ye Hao said. It wasn't that Ye Hao wasn't capable; it was that his strength hadn't broken through to the Innate stage yet.

"It's difficult. Look at you, you've started practicing Tai Chi and are now at the first stage of National Martial Arts. But to break through to the second stage, besides effort, you need a stroke of luck to advance." Ye Hao said.

"Ah! Ye, do you mean I'm now practicing National Martial Arts too?" Su Qing widened her eyes and asked Ye Hao.

"Though I don't know how you reached the first stage of National Martial Arts, I can say for sure that you truly are at that stage now." Ye Hao nodded, happy for Su Qing, as others found it as difficult as ascending to heaven to reach the first stage, yet Su Qing seemed to achieve it without even realizing it.

"Wow haha! I actually have National Martial Arts within me too?" Su Qing exclaimed excitedly.

Ye Hao put on his pants and then lay down to sleep with the two women.

Lin Ruyu, who was worried just a moment ago, felt relaxed. She could endure the lonely wait for Ye Hao, fearing only that he would lose hope.

Fortunately, what they worried about didn't happen. As long as Ye Hao could break through to the Innate Realm, they could live like a normal couple, which she was very much looking forward to.

The next day.

Ye Hao personally took the two women to send Bai Linglong to school, playing with her there like her biological father, making Bai Linglong very happy.

"Daddy, daddy, I want to play this, can you play with Lulong?" The little girl, pink and cute, was just disappointed that Ye Hao was too busy and didn't have much time to accompany her.

Ye Hao sometimes felt quite guilty, having adopted such a daughter but not providing her with the corresponding responsibilities.

"Okay! Daddy will take you to play." Ye Hao chuckled, holding Bai Linglong as they went down the slide together.

Ye Hao didn't care whether the slide was dirty or not, as long as Bai Linglong was happy.

"Giggling!" The little girl laughed happily as Ye Hao slid down with her, feeling the thrill of the fall.

"Having fun, Lulong?" Ye Hao asked.

"Yes, Daddy, take me up high. I want to be tossed in the air like other kids' daddies do." After playing on the slide, Bai Linglong wanted to play flying in the air.

"Alright, see how daddy takes you flying." Ye Hao positioned himself behind Bai Linglong, supporting her under the arms.

"Whoosh!" Ye Hao gently tapped the edge of the slide with his feet, leaping more than three meters high with Bai Linglong.

At such a height, Ye Hao could gently float down with Bai Linglong. Seeing there weren't many people around, he enveloped Bai Linglong with his Tai Chi energy, making her feel as if she were in the air.

"Wow! Daddy, so high! Daddy, mommy, Mrs. Qing, so happy!" Bai Linglong shouted in the air, her little face turning bright red from excitement.

After playing for a while, Bai Linglong wanted to eat ice cream, and Ye Hao had to go buy it.

Unfortunately, there were no snacks sold near the kindergarten. This high-end kindergarten was too strictly managed, cultivating habits from an early age not to eat snacks.

Ye Hao walked towards a distant convenience store, just as a richly dressed, chubby middle-aged man and a skinny, heavily made-up middle-aged woman entered with a small boy.

The small boy was very naughty, climbing onto the slide to play as soon as he came in.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing were sitting nearby, holding Bai Linglong while teaching her about the kindergarten.

The chubby middle-aged man looked at the backs of Lin Ruyu and Su Qing, licking his lips discreetly as both women's backs attracted him.

The middle-aged woman let out a snort, prompting the man to restrain his gaze.

"Baby, having fun?" The chubby man approached the naughty little boy and asked, holding him.

Meanwhile, it seemed like kindergarten classes were ending, and many children flooded into this play area.

More than a dozen female teachers came up to ensure the safety of the children.

Bai Linglong seemed to spot her good friend in the crowd and told Lin Ruyu, "Mommy, I see Huihui. I want to play with Huihui."

Lin Ruyu lovingly stroked Bai Linglong's soft hair and said, "Go ahead! Be careful, mommy will wait here for your daddy to come back, and then we'll bring your friend Huihui to eat ice cream, okay?"

"Got it, mommy, mmwah!" Bai Linglong gave Lin Ruyu a kiss on the cheek.

After Bai Linglong left, Su Qing chuckled, "Yuyu, Lulong is so adorable! I really hope we can have such a cute child with Ye one day."

"Hehe, believe in him; he's not someone who gives up easily. Even if the Innate realm is difficult to enter, I trust he'll conquer it." Lin Ruyu laughed.

However, just at that moment, the playful area erupted with the sound of a sudden slap.

"Smack!"

The sound was very loud, followed by a screechy male voice: "Stupid girl, how dare you touch my baby! I'll beat you to death."

"Smack!"

Another slap followed, silencing the entire play area, succeeded by the sound of a child crying.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruyu and Su Qing quickly turned around, and upon seeing the crying child was Bai Linglong, Lin Ruyu ran over immediately.

Seeing the situation, Su Qing rushed forward to stop the middle-aged woman who slapped Bai Linglong.

Lin Ruyu anxiously asked, "Lulong, what happened? Tell mommy what's wrong?"

Lin Ruyu was so worried she began to cry. They had just been playing happily, so how did it come to this in the play area? Could those slaps have landed on Lulong? She thought, lifting Bai Linglong's face gently.

As she saw four clear finger marks on either side of Bai Linglong's face, Lin Ruyu was almost scared to faint. What cruel person would do such a thing to a child?

"Who is it?" Lin Ruyu shouted loudly.

"Filthy woman, your mongrel dared to touch my baby, a light punishment." The skinny woman arrogantly held her head high, as if slapping Bai Linglong was giving her face.

"Mommy... sob..." Seeing the ferocious appearance of the woman made Bai Linglong's heart race in fear.

Lin Ruyu hugged Bai Linglong tightly, saying, "Don't cry, Lulong, mommy is here. Daddy will be back soon. Don't cry, sob..."

As Lin Ruyu spoke, she began to cry as well, showing just how much she cared for Bai Linglong.

"Filthy woman, let your mongrel stay away next time, or if it touches my baby again, I'll make sure it never reads a book again." The skinny woman snorted. (To be continued.
