There was only silence that followed after the dungeon core said this.

Then as if it was scared that it had been rejected, the dungeon core asked, “Papa, is something wrong?”

Lin Fan’s lips couldn’t help twitching when he heard this.

He had thought that it was a mistake, but it seemed that he hadn’t heard wrong.

The dungeon core had actually called him ‘papa’…

But the creator of the dungeon cores was Weiss, so if he were to accept this title, then wouldn’t it mean taking the position of a god?

That was definitely not something that he could do.

So after giving a cough to calm himself down, Lin Fan said, “I’m not your papa, you can call me big brother instead.”

“You don’t want to be my papa?” The dungeon core completely ignored the latter half of what he said and just focused on the first part. It seemed that no matter what, it had already decided to take him as its ‘papa’…

Lin Fan really didn’t know what to say. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The only good thing was that he could see that the new dungeon core had been registered in the Dungeon Master System. So at the very least, it meant that he had accomplished what he had wanted to accomplish here.

Was it because of the Dungeon Master System’s influence that this dungeon core was calling him ‘papa’?

Or was it something else?

Regardless, he didn’t want to deal with it.

So for now, he would just let the dungeon core call him whatever it wanted to call him.

When he brought it to meet Weiss, which he was sure would happen since Weiss was the one that had sent him to pick up the dungeon core, then he would be able to let the dungeon core see who its real father was.

When that happened, then it would stop calling him papa.

So Lin Fan said with a sigh, “Just call me whatever you want.”

The dungeon core said in a happy voice, “Then papa, I want to eat that now.”

The thing that the dungeon core was referring to was the treat that Lin Fan had used to bait it into letting him approach.

Since he had already registered the new dungeon core into his Dungeon Master System, the DP that the dungeon core gained actually benefited him. So it was like taking money from one pocket and putting it in the other.

So Lin Fan didn’t care as he tossed the thing over to the dungeon core.

When the dungeon core finished swallowing it, it gave a burp and said, “Thank you, papa!”

Lin Fan really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Lin Fan then said, “Alright, let’s get ready to go.”

“Go?” The dungeon core said in a confused voice, “Where are we going?”

Lin Fan replied, “I’m taking you to a safer place. Eventually someone will find you if you stay here and it’ll be dangerous for you.”

The dungeon core didn’t resist at all as it said, “Alright, I trust papa.”

Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a faint smile when he heard this.

If there was one thing that this kid dungeon core was good at, it was flattering people.

Lin Fan turned to look at the minotaur and said, “You’ll have to die once so we can tear down this dungeon and move the core. When we finish setting up the new dungeon, we’ll be sure to summon you again.”

As the new dungeon master of this dungeon, Lin Fan was able to see the situation of the entire dungeon.

He knew that this minotaur was an elite monster that was summoned by the dungeon core to protect it, so it would be able to respawn when the time came. As for the rest of the monsters that were in the dungeon, they would be turned back into DP, but there wasn’t anything worth much in this dungeon in the first place.

This dungeon was just a beginner dungeon after all.

Since he had become the new dungeon master, the way that the minotaur treated him had also changed.

When the minotaur heard what Lin Fan said, it just gave a simple nod of agreement.

The way that it acted now was completely different from the defiant appearance that it had previously when it wouldn’t give up protecting the dungeon core.

Since that was settled, it was time to head back to the city.

…

When they came back, the first thing that happened was that they gathered back in the room.

Well, there were two people that were missing since they had something more important to do.

With the experience from clearing that dungeon and some Clear Water from Lin Fan, Xiao Yue and Lala were about to break through to the Foundation Realm.

This was more important than this meeting, so the two had gone off to break through.

Once they had all gathered, Lin Fan took out the dungeon core and showed it to everyone.

As soon as it was taken out, all of them immediately gathered around it to look at it. However, there wasn’t much to the dungeon core to see, so it didn’t take long before they started looking at Rokuko as well.

The girls knew about Rokuko’s true form, so they were comparing this new dungeon core to Rokuko.

However, they all couldn’t help revealing awkward looks when the dungeon core said, “Papa, where is this? Why are there so many people here? I’m scared.”

The dungeon core had the mentality of a child right now, so it wasn’t strange that it was scared when it was surrounded by all of these women. Children were often like this when they were surrounded by people that they were meeting for the first time.

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this before saying, “It’s alright, all of them are my wives, so there’s nothing to fear.”

“Papa’s wives? Then are they mamas?” The dungeon core slowly said in a confused voice.

As soon as they heard this, the expressions of all of the girls suddenly changed.

Though they didn’t know why the dungeon core was calling Lin Fan ‘papa’, they could hear that he didn’t seem to reject it. Since he had taken this dungeon core as his ‘son’, then…wouldn’t this be their chance to be a mother?

They had wanted to become a mother, but it was harder for cultivators to get pregnant. Especially those that had a high level of cultivation.

So not a single one of them had been able to become pregnant yet even though they had been dual cultivating almost every night that they could.

It really was something that had frustrated them.

But now…there was a chance to have a child with Lin Fan, even though it really wasn’t a child…

Still, this was better than nothing.

All of the girls looked at each other before coming forward with sweet smiles.

All of them tried using different methods to coax the dungeon core into accepting them as its mother, but…all they did was scare it.

“Come, come, have some candy. Mama has a lot of it for you.”

“No, no, come and play with this toy that mama has prepared for you.”

“You should come with mama to play with the pets.”

All of them were using different bribes to get the dungeon core to become closer to them, but it was too much for them to come all at once. With how forward they were being, they actually scared the dungeon core into hiding in Lin Fan’s hand again.

Lin Fan just shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, “Alright, alright, let’s not overwhelm it. Let’s go slow here and let it choose what it wants.”

The girls all had sad looks on their faces, but they still took a step back.

Though those sad looks quickly disappeared as they tried to coax the dungeon core from a distance.

The dungeon core slowly got used to this and started to observe the ones that were trying to coax it.

Finally, the dungeon core said, “Mama, my mama is here.”

All of them suddenly stopped when they heard this and waited to see who the dungeon core would point out.

Lin Fan was also surprised when he heard this, but he waited to see who the dungeon core would pick. Though there was a part of him that already had an idea of who it would pick in the end.

After a moment of silence, the dungeon core started pulling Lin Fan forward.

It couldn’t move much on its own, so it could only pull Lin Fan forward to move.

Lin Fan stepped forward in the direction that it pulled in, moving closer to the girls.

All of them had expectant looks on their faces, but those that were passed by him immediately looked sad.

Lin Fan moved past most of them until he stopped in front of a certain one.

“Mama!”

The dungeon core suddenly called out before jumping out of Lin Fan’s hand towards that person.

Rokuko was caught off guard by this, but she quickly caught the new dungeon core in her hand with a smile on her face.

The two of them started to bond after this, but Rokuko made sure to look at the other girls with a triumphant smile on her face.

Though the other girls were envious of her, they didn’t do anything.

Though in their minds, they were also planning on how to convince the dungeon core to accept them as its mother.

Lin Fan wasn’t surprised to see this since Rokuko was a dungeon core just like this kid dungeon core. There must be some kind of resonance between the two of them that made it see her as a mother.

Though if he thought about it, shouldn’t it be sister instead of mother?
