Tokyo.
Akihabara.
As the Myriad Realms’ quintessential Holy Land for the second dimension, the people who roamed here every day were anime enthusiasts from all around the world.
On the street, it was common to see various people dressed in unique and exotic cosplay outfits.
“Daddy, Daddy, look… Ultraman!” Xue Xiang pointed excitedly at someone on the street.
As a little girl, her favorite thing to watch was actually Ultraman.
Meanwhile, Nian Nian’s eyes shone as she watched a girl dressed up as Cardcaptor Sakura.
Xue An smiled as he looked at his two excited daughters.
“So what do you two want to dress up as?”
“I want to be Peppa Pig!” Nian Nian said first.
“Uh…” Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Then I’ll have to be George, but that’s OK!” Xue Xiang also nodded in agreement.
“Is that OK, Daddy Pig?” Nian Nian shook Xue An’s arm, her voice filled with pleading.
As an Immortal Venerable who had weathered countless storms and reached the pinnacle of Myriad Realms, Xue An considered his resolve as firm as bedrock, indestructible by anything.
And the coaxing of a little girl was nothing to speak of, let alone worthy of mention.
So Xue An hesitated for only a second before nodding.
“Yay, Daddy’s the best!” both little girls cheered and jumped with joy.
An Yan was standing by, enjoying the scene.
“Mommy, and you, you’re Daddy Pig now!” Xue Xiang remarked seriously.
The smile on An Yan’s face froze.
As Akihabara, the holy land for anime, even the roadside stalls sold all kinds of cosplay accessories.
So just a few minutes later.
The streets of Akihabara saw the family from Peppa Pig.
However, since this family had high attractiveness, they drew a significant amount of attention.
The more this happened, the happier Xue Xiang and Nian Nian, walking in front, became.
Xue An and An Yan wore pig ears hats on their heads, following behind with a touch of embarrassment.
“Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, are you tired? How about we find a place to eat some ice cream?” Xue An played the ice cream trump card.
But Xue Xiang and Nian Nian both shook their heads firmly, their faces showing dissatisfaction, “Daddy Pig, please call us Peppa and George!”
Xue An:
Three hours later.
The two little girls had finally tired of walking around.
Xue An and An Yan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In those three hours, there had been several people who came up asking for photos.
There were even a few talent scouts who approached excitedly, believing that Xue Xiang and Nian Nian had great potential in show business.
Of course, all of them were flatly turned down by Xue An.
“Daddy Pig, I’m hungry!” Nian Nian exclaimed.
Xue An nodded, “Let’s go eat!”
Nian Nian didn’t move.
Xue An sighed, “Dear Peppa, shall we go to eat?”
Only then did Nian Nian beam, “OK, Daddy Pig!”
Night fell, and the lights of Akihabara came on.
Xue An took his family to a restaurant for dinner.
Though their tastes had been spoiled by Xue An, the two little girls were indeed famished from the day’s activities, so they ate ravenously.
Xue An slowly sipped his wine, smiling as he looked on.
At this moment, the wind and rain outside had started to pick up, which made the coziness inside the room all the more striking.
Suddenly, the door to the place was pushed open, and a cold breeze mixed with rain surged in.
Xue An slightly lifted his gaze and then saw a familiar face.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Edward, but I’m not interested in your glorious background, and now I’m about to have dinner with friends. Could you please stop following me?” Benqiao Meijia said with a hint of anger.
Kawada Keiko also spoke up coldly from the side, “Mr. Edward, Meijia has made herself clear. Please stop following us!”
Meanwhile, a blond, blue-eyed foreign man was chuckling as he said, “Miss Benqiao, I’ve already asked your company, and you have no commitments for the next few days. Plus, isn’t it better for us to have dinner together?”
Benqiao Meijia was left fuming.
This Edward was a relative of the chairman of the company where Benqiao Meijia worked, and he had flown in from M Country to Tokyo for business.
However, he unexpectedly encountered Benqiao Meijia, and from that point on, like someone possessed, Edward followed her everywhere she went.
It was incredibly annoying to Benqiao Meijia.
Finally managing to get out to eat with Keiko, this persistent nuisance had yet again followed her like a shadow.
Kawada Keiko’s face was filled with displeasure too, but as she turned her head, she caught sight of Xue An not far away, her eyes lit up, and she nudged Benqiao Meijia.
“Look over there!”
Benqiao Meijia turned her head to look and was also momentarily stunned.
With a sly smile, Kawada Keiko ignored Benqiao Meijia’s attempt to stop her and walked straight over.
“Mr. Xue, hello!”
Kawada Keiko greeted him boldly.
Xue An leaned back in his chair and gave a faint smile, “Hello!”
He had seen what just happened, so he just watched Kawada Keiko with a nonchalant look, curious about what she would do next.
Though Kawada Keiko usually feared nothing, under Xue An’s indifferent gaze, she couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
The words she wanted to say didn’t seem to come out right.
In the end, it was Benqiao Meijia who bit her lip and stepped forward, “Mr. Xue, what a coincidence to see you again.”
Xue An nodded and then glanced at Edward, whose expression was gradually turning dark, “It seems someone is not too happy!”
Benqiao Meijia gritted her teeth and whispered, “Mr. Xue, I’m begging you for help, this guy is too annoying!”
Xue An smiled.
Because there was no need for him to act, Edward already stepped forward.
“And this is…?” Edward asked arrogantly.
“This is Mr. Xue from China, and also our friend. Mr. Edward, it’s raining outside, so please leave!”
Although she was furious inside.
Since Edward was, after all, a senior executive of the company, Benqiao Meijia tried to suppress the anger in her heart and spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, a sinister look flashed in Edward’s eyes, “A Chinese? Heh, I didn’t expect Miss Benqiao to have friends from China, quite surprising indeed!”
Then Edward looked at Xue An, “May I ask which company’s senior executive is Mr. Xue?”
Xue An shook his head, “I’m not a senior executive of any company, just visiting Country R for pleasure!”
Edward smirked with a profound meaning, “Oh, I see!”
After that, he didn’t even give Xue An another proper glance, and directly turned to Benqiao Meijia, “Miss Benqiao, this place has a poor environment, how about I take you for a French meal instead?”
Benqiao Meijia’s expression turned extremely ugly.
Just as she was about to say something, Kawada Keiko pointed outside the window as if she had seen a ghost, her voice trembling, “Oh my, people are doing cosplay out in the rain?”
It wasn’t just her, at that moment most of the people dining in the restaurant witnessed a surprising scene.
In the rainy night at Akihabara street, a group of men dressed in ancient samurai attire, with wooden clogs on their feet and straw hats on their heads, was seen slowly approaching.
This group of men seemed to make no sound as they walked, not even disturbing the rainwater on the ground.
As everyone stared in amazement, Xue An picked up his glass of wine and took a slow sip, saying indifferently, “Truly, a bunch of bothersome fellows.”
