Nuwa gazed at Lin Shen, and for the first time, a maternal glow appeared in her beautiful eyes that created all life.
She was born a god, a unique existence between heaven and earth.
Although she mastered the Way of Creation and could shape all living things, deep down, she always felt an unspeakable loneliness.
Until this moment.
The instant she saw Lin Shen, that loneliness melted away with warmth.
Her heart softened, and an impulse arose—to hold this little one in her arms and cherish him with all her might.
"Nuwa greets three Daoist Brothers."
She suppressed the tremor in her heart and bowed gracefully to the Three Pure Ones, her voice clear and pleasant.
"Congratulations to the three Daoist Brothers on achieving Primordial Golden Immortal status, roaming freely through heaven and earth, impervious to all tribulations."
Her posture was extremely humble, her words sincere, without a trace of jealousy.
This greatly increased the goodwill of the Three Pure Ones, who had initially been wary.
"Daoist Friend Nuwa is too kind."
The Grand Pure One Laozi smiled and extended a hand as if to help her up.
"Your arrival brings great honor to my Kunlun Mountain. Please, have a seat."
With a wave of his hand, a jade stool carved from Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade appeared beside the stone table.
"Thank you, Daoist Brother."
Nuwa bowed again and slowly took a seat.
However, her gaze never left Lin Shen in Tongtian Jiaozhu's arms.
Her eyes were filled with curiosity, affection, and tenderness.
Lin Shen was also secretly observing her.
Wow! This big sister is so beautiful!
She's a million times more beautiful than any celebrity I've ever seen in my past life!
She also has a faint fragrance, like the scent of grass and flowers in spring, so comforting to smell.
Lin Shen's little heart pounded like a drum.
In his past life, he was just an ordinary office drone. He rarely spoke to anyone, let alone a goddess this beautiful, not even the company receptionist.
Now, Nuwa, a figure from myth and legend, was sitting right in front of him.
Lin Shen felt his little face flush.
He quickly hid the Phoenix Wing bone he had gnawed clean behind his back and wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth with his small hands.
I can't let the pretty sister see me being unhygienic!
This adorable action naturally did not escape the eyes of the four great beings.
Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed heartily, thinking his disciple had excellent taste, knowing how to maintain an image in front of beautiful women even at such a young age.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in satisfaction, believing Lin Shen's action was in line with the etiquette of a Kunlun Mountain disciple.
The Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes narrowed into slits, finding his little disciple innocent, pure, and incredibly cute.
Nuwa looked at Lin Shen's shy and flustered expression, her heart melting.
The smile on her face grew even gentler, and she spoke proactively:
"Is this the new little disciple you three Daoist Brothers have taken in? He truly embodies the essence of heaven and earth, so incredibly adorable."
"Heh heh, indeed, this is my humble disciple, Lin Shen."
Tongtian Jiaozhu puffed out his chest with pride, showing off his rare treasure.
"This child is just a bit too fond of eating; he doesn't have any great abilities."
If Ancestor Dragon and the others outside were to hear this, they would probably spit blood on the spot.
No great abilities?
He swallowed Calamity Fiend Qi in one gulp, devoured Primordial Violet Qi in another, and even boosted the cultivation of you masters and the Dao Ancestor in the process.
This is called having no abilities?
Then who in the entire Primordial World dares to claim they have abilities?
Nuwa naturally did not believe Tongtian's nonsense.
She could clearly sense how terrifying the extremely pure Origin Qi within Lin Shen was.
She even had a premonition that this seemingly harmless infant in front of her was even more important than the three Primordial Golden Immortal Daoist Brothers!
"Lin Shen..."
Nuwa silently chanted the name, her beautiful eyes shining with renewed brilliance.
"What a wonderful name."
She liked him more and more the longer she looked.
I really want to hug him and pinch those chubby little cheeks.
Lin Shen was also battling with himself internally.
This big sister is so beautiful, so gentle, I really want her to hug me.
But, as a transmigator with an adult soul, isn't it too shameless to actively ask a beautiful young lady for a hug?
But, I'm just a three-year-old baby right now!
It's only natural for a baby to want hugs!
That's right! I'm just a baby!
What bad intentions could a baby have?
With that thought, Lin Shen's worries vanished.
He mustered his courage and struggled to poke his little head out from Tongtian Jiaozhu's embrace.
He stretched out his two chubby little arms towards Nuwa.
"Yiya... hug... hug..."
He used all his strength to utter the first clear, meaningful word since his transmigration.
"Hug!"
These two words struck everyone's hearts like heavenly thunder.
Tongtian Jiaozhu, who was holding Lin Shen, suddenly stiffened. He looked down at his beloved disciple, who was struggling to extend his arms with a face full of longing, and his eyes immediately turned red.
My disciple can talk!
And the first word he says isn't "Master," but "hug"?
And he wants someone else to hug him!
Tongtian Jiaozhu's heart shattered.
The sorrow of a farmer whose prize cabbage had been ruined by a pig welled up within him.
Yuanshi Tianzun and The Grand Pure One Laozi were also stunned.
They hadn't expected their disciple's "debut" to be like this.
When Nuwa heard the soft "hug" and saw Lin Shen's clear, longing eyes.
She felt as if the whole world had bloomed with colorful flowers.
Her heart was instantly filled with an emotion called "happiness."
She could no longer care about her dignified demeanor as a great being or her composure as a female immortal.
She stood up and, in three quick steps, took Lin Shen directly from Tongtian Jiaozhu's arms, holding him tightly.
"Oh, my precious baby!"
Nuwa held Lin Shen's soft little body, inhaling the unique scent of grass and wood emanating from him, and felt like she was melting.
She rubbed her smooth, jade-like cheek against Lin Shen's chubby little face.
"Okay, okay, sister will hug you, sister will hug you..."
Her voice was filled with doting and joy.
Lin Shen was held in the arms of the beautiful sister, inhaling her pleasant scent and feeling the warm, soft embrace.
He happily narrowed his eyes, nuzzling his little head against Nuwa's chest, and found a comfortable position, not wanting to move.
It feels so good to be held by a beautiful sister!
He was happy.
But Tongtian Jiaozhu watched this scene, his heart about to shatter into pieces.
He gazed enviously at Lin Shen in Nuwa's arms, like an abandoned, resentful woman.
"Big Brother, Second Brother..."
He pleaded with his two elder brothers using divine sense, his voice choked with tears.
"My disciple... he doesn't want me anymore..."
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted at his pathetic display.
"Serves you right! Who told you to be so scruffy all day? Of course, your disciple prefers someone fragrant and soft!"
Although he said that, seeing Nuwa and Lin Shen's intimate interaction, he also felt a pang of jealousy.
Why! I haven't had enough hugs yet!
The Grand Pure One Laozi shook his head helplessly.
Their three Primordial Golden Immortals, the top figures of the Primordial World, were actually getting jealous over which little brat their disciple was closer to.
If this got out, would Kunlun Mountain still have any face left?
However...
Looking at Lin Shen's satisfied and happy cute appearance in Nuwa's arms, The Grand Pure One Laozi also felt a trace of sourness.
It seemed that in the future, Kunlun Mountain would have another person competing for their disciple.
