Looking at Tongtong in front of him, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart. He had already guessed Xu Yixue's intention. By having Tongtong come over this time, it wasn't just to acknowledge their father-daughter relationship, he feared it was more about letting this child see for herself what kind of man her father was so that Tongtong would completely give up on her own father, right?
And Xu Yixue's guess was entirely correct. The original Xu Fan, upon seeing Tongtong, showed no signs of improvement, instead he intensified his drinking, and this time he drank himself to death, which led to Xu Fan inhabiting this body.
Feeling this blood connection, Xu Fan's heart was seized by an unprecedented palpitation.
Although he had roamed The Immortal Realm for thousands of years, he had never had a true descendant, and this kind of blood connection was an experience Xu Fan had never had before. He couldn't help but grasp it, and in an instant, he accepted the existence of his daughter!
"Haha, I actually have a daughter! I, Xu Fan, also have a daughter now!"
At that moment, Xu Fan was overwhelmingly excited. He hugged Tongtong in his arms and spun around joyfully, while Tongtong laughed merrily as well.
After playing for a while, father and daughter bonded quite a bit. Tongtong didn't mind the disheveled state of Xu Fan's face and kissed him heavily:
"Having a dad feels so great, I like dad the most!"
Hearing these words, Xu Fan's heart nearly melted. He couldn't help but want to give his daughter all the best things in the world!
But upon glancing at his surroundings and his filthy clothes, Xu Fan's eyes revealed a trace of disdain.
With such an environment and in such a state, how could he protect his daughter?
Thinking of this, Xu Fan couldn't stop himself from searching his own body.
Although all the treasures on Xu Fan's body had been shattered to crumbs by the nearly endless heavenly thunder, even his storage ring had turned to ashes, Xu Fan still remembered that in the last moment, he seemed to have grabbed something from inside the storage ring, he must have brought something with him!
Soon, Xu Fan finally found something amidst the pile of liquor bottles!
When Xu Fan was struck by the heavenly thunder, he thought he would be obliterated. He only grabbed something instinctively, without discerning what it was, so he himself was unclear about what he had grabbed.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Fan discovered two dark pills inside a small crumpled piece of paper.
"A Body-Forging Pill and a Spirit Wisdom Pill? That's good, that's good!"
The Body-Forging Pill was a fourth-grade elixir that could stimulate Spiritual Power and aid cultivators in forming their Nascent Soul, a truly rare and valuable treasure.
The Spirit Wisdom Pill, though slightly inferior, was a third-grade elixir, capable of enhancing intelligence and obedience in spirit beasts.
To the former Xu Fan, these two elixirs would have seemed insignificant, but now, without any Spiritual Power and with Earth's sparse Spiritual Power, it would be anyone's guess how many years it would take for Xu Fan to cultivate back to being a cultivator on his own.
So, with this Body-Forging Pill, Xu Fan could step through the gates of Cultivation in one go, and even hope to condense a Nascent Soul within a century!
The Spirit Wisdom Pill was also quite useful. Xu Fan could raise a spirit beast, not only to protect Tongtong but also to give her a companion.
After inspecting the two elixirs, Xu Fan was about to throw away the small crumpled piece of paper. However, at that moment, he noticed a fluorescent glow flickering on it.
All of a sudden, Xu Fan realized that this piece of paper, almost like waste, was actually a talisman!
Talismans in The Immortal Realm are quite a common means, and though talisman masters may not possess powerful bodies and various magical treasures of Nascent Souls, they do have all sorts of incredibly strange talismans, making them extremely powerful.
The most skilled talisman masters could even create the Five Thunder Primordial Talismans with the power of heavenly thunder! Wielding a heavenly tribulation, they were truly frightening!
```
The talisman that Xu Fan had in his hand was known as the Soul-Confusing Talisman, which could directly bewilder a person's heart, making the affected person completely obey the commands of the caster.
This kind of talisman could only be used when there was a hierarchy of power, so it wasn't that useful in The Immortal Realm.
After all, the people in The Immortal Realm were always busy. For those who could smack you dead with one slap, why bother controlling you with a talisman?
However, for Xu Fan at the present moment, this talisman was even more useful than the Five Thunder Primordial Talisman!
After all, Xu Fan was now on Earth, having lost all his cultivation, but this talisman could control the hearts of people, which was bound to be unexpectedly useful!
Having found these three great items, Xu Fan was satisfied, finally feeling like he had some capital to establish himself.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
At that moment, Tongtong tugged on Xu Fan's hand, and only then did Xu Fan realize that it was already noon. He squatted down and said to Tongtong,
"Alright, Daddy will take you out for a meal, but you'll have to wait for me a little bit. Daddy needs to take a shower, I smell bad!"
"Heehee, Daddy is a sloppy ghost, stinky stinky!"
Hearing this, Tongtong covered her nose and giggled.
Seeing Tongtong's smile, Xu Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and asked her,
"Tongtong, what is your name?"
"Tongtong's name is just Tongtong…"
Tongtong blinked her large eyes with a hint of confusion upon hearing Xu Fan's question.
Xu Fan, realizing he was too hasty, explained further to Tongtong,
"Daddy is asking if Tongtong has a formal name."
"Oh... Yes, I do. My formal name is Xu Wantong, but everyone just calls me Tongtong!"
Hearing this, Xu Fan smiled even more. Xu Wantong, huh? That's a nice name. It seems like Xu Yixue has raised Tongtong well. In that case, I will give her a chance, the opportunity to be my woman.
But Xu Fan misheard; Tongtong's surname was Xu, not Xu, the childish lisp making it hard for Xu Fan to hear clearly.
It's unknown how Xu Fan, who was so generously offering Xu Yixue a chance, would react when they actually met.
"Okay, Tongtong, wait here for me. Daddy will take a quick shower, and then we can go out and eat something delicious!"
"Yay! I'll wait here and be good. I definitely won't run around!"
Tongtong promised in her childishly sweet voice and promptly sat down on a small stool, as if to assure him, "I definitely won't move from here."
Seeing Tongtong's behavior, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile again, and he quickly entered the bathroom.
He couldn't stand his untidy appearance, wondering how Tongtong had managed to kiss him earlier.
