Time flew by, and the day of his birth finally arrived.

After a bout of squeezing, Yun Chuan finally struggled free from his mother's body. The moment he came into contact with the cold air outside, before he had even opened his eyes, a deep male voice reached his ears, crying out in heart-wrenching grief, "Third Sister, don't leave me!!!!"

The instant he heard those words, Yun Chuan shuddered violently!

Having read the original Douluo Continent novel, how could he not know who that crying man was?

"So that means I became the twin brother the original protagonist Tang San never had?" He was somewhat surprised, but he quickly stopped caring. Being Tang San's brother wasn't bad either. He could follow this bargain brother through the original plot, coast through the story, and win without lifting a finger!

But Yun Chuan soon realized that he had celebrated too early.

Next, he felt himself being tossed into the air and constantly fought over by people from both sides. Finally, a thunderous explosion rang out.

Everything finally settled.

A weak male voice sounded beside his ear. "This baby was born to Tang Hao and that 100,000 Year Soul Beast. Take him back first. He may be useful in the future..."

Upon hearing those words, Yun Chuan, who was dizzy from being tossed back and forth between both sides, immediately cried out inwardly, My life is over!

It was over. He had thought he could coast to victory alongside Tang San. Instead, the moment he was born, he had fallen into the hands of Spirit Hall, who held a deep grudge against them. Even if they didn't skin him alive and pull out his tendons, his final fate surely wouldn't be good. After all, he was the son of their enemy.

It was over. Everything was over.

Why had it turned out like this?

The first time he transmigrated into the world of a novel he loved, he had even gained a cheat powerful enough to dominate the world. What should have awaited him was a happy life of ruling the world with a harem of three thousand beauties.

And yet...

Why?

Why had it become like this?

Why had he fallen into the hands of his enemy right from the start?

This wasn't the script!

...Consumed by self-pity, Yun Chuan gradually fell into a deep sleep amid boundless worry.

After all, he was only a newborn baby. Even with an adult's mind, his body could not withstand excessive mental strain.

When he woke up again, he discovered that he had been placed in some soft little crib.

By now, Yun Chuan could barely open his eyes. As he looked around, he was surprised to find that his current surroundings were actually quite nice. He had not been casually tossed into a woodshed like trash, as he had imagined before falling asleep, nor had he been disemboweled and killed to make an example of him!

This truly was a blessing amid misfortune.

Thinking about it carefully, his earlier pessimism had been completely unfounded. There was no way Spirit Hall would simply kill him outright.

After all, he was only a newborn baby. There was plenty they could do with him.

Alive, he was far more valuable than dead.

For example, they could use him to threaten his biological father. Or they could brainwash and raise him from childhood, then have him slaughter his biological father once he grew up.

In short, if they thought carefully, they could come up with countless vicious schemes! No matter what, he was more valuable alive than dead.

After analyzing the situation and confirming that his life was safe for the time being, Yun Chuan let out a sigh of relief. It was fine. As long as he was alive, that was enough. He did not want to have just begun a new life and obtained a cheat that would let him dominate the world, only to die before he had even begun enjoying himself. That would be far too tragic. He would definitely become the most miserable transmigrator in history!

At that moment, Yun Chuan suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over his entire body. His stomach began growling, as though he had gone days and nights without eating. No, that wasn't right! He had just been born and had not even had a single mouthful of milk before being snatched back and forth by a group of people. It was simply too miserable.

"Waaah!!!..."

Yun Chuan decisively made use of his advantage as a baby and began crying with all his might.

A moment later.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. With a creak, the door opened, and a pretty young woman in her twenties hurried inside.

"Gulp!"

Baby Yun Chuan could not help swallowing, because she was simply too big.

As the young woman approached, he could also smell a rich milky fragrance~

Clearly, she was a young woman currently breastfeeding.

"Be good~ Don't cry, don't cry~"

The pretty young woman tenderly picked up the baby and gently rocked him. Once she confirmed that he had stopped crying, she casually tugged open the collar of her clothes... She was wearing nothing underneath.

Faced with the Source of Life so close at hand, with that tempting milky fragrance filling his nostrils, their protagonist swallowed and silently recited, Time to eat~

Then he latched on in one bite and began sucking with all his might.

He was simply too hungry. Since his birth, he had not drunk a single mouthful of milk. He had even been cruelly tossed around in the air by a group of adults. The fact that he had not been played to death was all thanks to his sixty points of Innate Talent. If he had not possessed extraordinary talent, another baby would have suffered at least a concussion even if they had not been killed.

When the milk that represented the Source of Life flowed into his throat, Yun Chuan felt as though his entire body had become intoxicated. A vast expanse of dazzling whiteness swayed before his eyes, and his mind turned hazy. He thought of nothing and merely followed a baby's instincts, sucking with all his strength... until he could not drink another drop.

"Burp!"

After he was full, Yun Chuan instinctively let out a burp. Yet he still refused to let go of the Source of Life in his mouth. A baby's instincts made him feel uneasy whenever he slept without something in his mouth.

This left the young woman feeding him somewhat helpless, but an indulgent smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. As though he were her own child, she held him and gently rocked him, allowing him to sleep well.

Over the following period of time.

Yun Chuan's little life was quite comfortable.

Spirit Hall treated him, a captive, so well that there was nothing to criticize. They did not casually toss him into a woodshed as he had initially feared, then keep him barely alive by throwing him leftovers. Instead, they found him a dedicated Wet Nurse to feed him milk and care for his daily needs. They even regularly sent healing Soul Masters to check his physical condition and prevent him from falling ill. They practically treated him like a young master.

Yun Chuan knew that he owed his current life to his bargain father, Tang Hao. After all, if they wanted to deal with him, they absolutely could not let his son die. Whether they planned to use him to threaten Tang Hao in the future or brainwash him into a combat weapon to kill Tang Hao, they needed to ensure that he stayed alive.

Therefore, no matter what, they would not mistreat him. He simply did not know how Spirit Hall planned to deal with him, the son of their enemy, from now on. If they merely wanted to brainwash him into a combat weapon or something, that would be easy enough to handle. He possessed an adult's mind; he was not truly a baby. How could he possibly be brainwashed? When the time came, he could pretend to go along with them, then wait until his bargain brother Tang San led a group of underlings to attack Spirit Hall. Then he would directly switch sides at the crucial moment and reveal his true identity!

Perhaps the two of them would even embrace and weep, putting on a touching public scene of brothers recognizing each other. As the brother who had been abducted by Spirit Hall since childhood and suffered so much, he would naturally be cleared of suspicion and become one of the righteous side, joining Tang San in crusading against the evil Spirit Hall!

This script was simply perfect.

But he feared that Spirit Hall would refuse to follow the script. If they pulled some other trick, then his future would truly be impossible to predict!
