288 Father And Daughter Part One

Mei had no idea that this world was on the verge of a great war. She did figure that the Machine race would come and attack her but nothing on the scale that was soon to come. A year had passed and Mei had worked hard on her cultivation. She was now in the Core Shattering realm. The core shattering realm was one of the most dangerous realms since in order to break through to the nascent soul realm one had to shatter and rebuild their core nine times. On one's ninth time shattering their core a soul wisp would be born that you would then need to nurture until it formed into a complete soul. Only when a complete soul was formed would you be considered in the nascent soul realm. If they failed at all during this process they could lose all of their cultivation.

Mei exited her space to find both Tang Guanting and Tang Yu standing outside her courtyard. "Is something wrong?"

"Young Miss Mei, follow me there is someone who wishes to speak with you." Tang Guanting replied with a smile. 

Mei looked at Tang Yu who quickly averted her eyes and knew something was up. Excited about what it was, Mei followed after Tang Guanting. He led Mei to a locked room on the other side of the Tang Families home. 

When Mei entered the room, she froze in place seeing the familiar figure standing in the room. "Father…!?"

The figure nodded his head. This person was Tang Ming and Mei's biological father. "Akari it has been a long time. You have become more beautiful."

"Father!" Tears welled up into Mei's eyes as she rushed forward only to pass through the figure. This caused Mei to stumble and almost fall. 

She turned around and looked at the figure who was grinning away causing her to blush. "Unfortunately, unlike your mother who was able to hold you in her arms, my technique is not as good. I have been updated on the things that have been going on in your current world. You choosing to stay on this world to get stronger was a good idea. Phantasia from what your mother tells me has spiritual qi but it is very thin. So at least reach the immortal realm before going back."

"That is what I planned. Plus I have to deal with the Machine Empire as well. But I have no idea when they will attack." Mei explained.

"Good… and as for the Machine Empire, I have a feeling they will show up again soon. You have to prepare yourself." Tang Ming said seriously

" I will… But more importantly... I miss you and mom so much!" Mei broke down crying. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She had longed to see her parents and now she was able to see and talk to her father. Although she couldn't give him a hug, she was content as long as she could talk with him.

"How could I hate you? You both only wished for me to live a full life! I already found the message mom left for me. Dad, you and Mom are two of the people in my life I could never hate. You not only gave birth to me but also gave me a chance to live a life where I can follow my dream of becoming a knight. It hurts when I think of how I can not see the two of you. I love you both dearly." Mei poured her heart out. She could never be mad at a father and mother that wanted to give their child a fulfilling life. 

"Mmm… I know. But Akari the day your mother and I are able to come to you. Do not neglect your new family either. I heard the father you have there has taken very good care of you." Tang Ming reminded Mei that he was not her only father now.

"I know. Royal father is very dear to me, so are my brothers and sisters, my son and daughter, and Grandpa Mu. They are all my family. And there is also Blake… My fiance..." Mei wiped her tears and looked at Tang Ming with a blissful smile. She truly felt loved in this life. She had so many that loved and cared for her. She had no complaints when it came to the love a family can give. 

Out of everything that Mei said Tang Ming only picked up on three words. "Akari what do you mean son, daughter, and fiance? Are you not a little too young..."

"Dad! I adopted two children. Remember I maybe fifteen in this world but I am actually over twenty if you count the years I lived on Earth. Plus Frey is a fairy and Nomi was eight years old when I adopted him. As for Blake. You have no say if I get married to him or not." Mei said with her cheeks blushing.

Tang Ming saw his daughter making a face he had never seen before and smiled. His wife was right, that young man must be good if he is able to make his daughter look like this. "Alright! I know, I was just teasing you. We can catch up more later, Akari. But we need to discuss what is happening now. "
