In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During those half a month, another major event took place within Spirit Hall. From the mutterings of the Wet Nurse who cared for his daily needs, Yun Chuan learned that Qian Xunji, the current Pope of Spirit Hall, had died from grievous, untreatable injuries.
Of course, having read Douluo Continent, he knew that Qian Xunji had not died because his so-called father had beaten him so badly that his injuries proved untreatable. He had been killed by Bibi Dong, the current Saintess of Spirit Hall, who had even devoured his soul! It was clear just how deep her hatred ran!
Still, Qian Xunji had fully deserved such an end. He had possessed no shred of a teacher's morality and had brutally raped his own disciple, Bibi Dong, impregnating her and forcing her to bear his bastard child. To stop her from killing herself, he had even used the life of her beloved, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, to threaten her. Left with no choice, Bibi Dong could only submit for the time being. Yet the flames of hatred in her heart had never gone out. They had merely lain dormant, waiting for the day they erupted!
It could be said that Qian Xunji's fate was entirely of his own making. Yun Chuan felt that letting him die just like that was letting him off too easily.
A heinous rapist like that should have been castrated.
That trash Qian Xunji had died so painlessly—it was seriously irritating.
Over the next period of time, Yun Chuan dutifully maintained his infant persona. When he was hungry, he cried. When he peed or pooped, he wailed. He did not dare act overly mature in the slightest. As the saying went, anything abnormal had something suspicious behind it! If a baby who ought to be ignorant and clueless behaved no differently from an adult, then in ancient China, he would have been deemed possessed by demons and drowned in a chamber pot!
He remembered reading many novels about people transmigrating into babies in his past life, and he truly could not understand why the protagonists in those novels acted so precocious. Even more absurdly, some newborn babies could actually call their parents Mom and Dad right after birth?! Could you fucking believe that?
Of course, the most speechless part was that when those newborn babies called their parents Mom and Dad, everyone around them actually treated it as perfectly normal. It was as if everyone had been slapped with an intelligence-reducing aura.
So as long as the protagonist had plot armor, logic did not matter anymore, right?!
Therefore, as someone with a very clear understanding of himself, Yun Chuan knew he did not have an intelligence-reducing aura and kept an extremely low profile, behaving no differently from an ordinary baby. He cried when he should cry and fussed when he should fuss. Another half month slowly passed like this.
By then, he was already a month old. Perhaps because he was exceptionally gifted, although he was only a month old, his skeletal development was already sufficient to support movement. Thus, after lying down for over a month, he began crawling all over the nursery. The Wet Nurse watched him from the side with a doting expression...
Until an uninvited guest arrived.
The door suddenly opened gently from outside.
Then, a graceful figure in a luxurious long dress slowly walked in.
Yun Chuan happened to be crawling toward the door and did not see what was in front of him. As a result, he rammed headfirst into the pair of long, firm, jade-like legs of the woman who had just entered.
Bang!
Yun Chuan's little head immediately spun from the impact. Stars filled his vision, and his entire body swayed as he was about to fall backward.
But just as his head was about to hit the floor, he felt a gentle force envelop his body. It lightly wrapped around him, lifting his tiny frame and finally depositing him into a soft, fragrant embrace.
An unfamiliar feminine fragrance flooded his nostrils, accompanied by an extremely sweet and subtle scent of milk. Yun Chuan immediately knew that he had been picked up by another woman who was nursing. Who could she be? Had Spirit Hall brought in a new Wet Nurse because they feared he was not getting enough milk?
The dizziness in his head finally eased considerably.
Yun Chuan finally saw the woman before him clearly.
So beautiful!
That was his first reaction.
Yun Chuan had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her exquisite face seemed like heaven's most perfect creation. Her features were flawless beyond compare, her bearing ethereal and jade-like, her nobility unmatched. She was like someone who had stepped out of a painting, giving off a dreamlike, unreal feeling.
"This child is the one the previous Pope brought back?" Bibi Dong looked at the baby before her, whose large watery eyes were open wide. He was so pink, adorable, and cute beyond words that her heart inexplicably stirred. She had to admit that this was the cutest child she had ever seen. Even she found herself unable to resist the urge to kiss those fair, tender, chubby little cheeks.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!" The Wet Nurse hurriedly bowed, then lowered her head and said meekly, "Yes, this child is indeed the one His Holiness brought back a month ago."
"If that is the case, then this child is..." Bibi Dong murmured to herself upon hearing this. Her following words gradually became too quiet to hear. The Wet Nurse kept her head lowered, desperately trying to distract herself, afraid that she might hear some secret and be silenced.
Coming back to her senses, Bibi Dong looked at the baby staring blankly at her and could not help worrying whether he had knocked himself stupid when he hit his head earlier.
Fortunately, Yun Chuan quickly came to his senses. A pure, innocent smile immediately blossomed on his chubby little face, making the air around them seem to glow!
"E... yah..."
Held in Bibi Dong's arms, Yun Chuan let out dissatisfied baby noises. His tiny hands waved about, and his legs kicked wildly. He seemed unhappy with being held like this and anxiously wanted to get away.
This made Bibi Dong furrow her exquisitely beautiful brows!
Seeing this, Yun Chuan broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong ultimately placed him back on the floor. Yun Chuan promptly crawled over to the head-lowered Wet Nurse and circled around her, doing his best to act like an ordinary baby.
Bibi Dong said nothing more and simply turned to leave the room. She had merely happened to pass by this house and heard the cries of a baby coming from inside. Curious as to why there was a baby in Spirit Hall, she had opened the door to take a look. She had not come specifically for Yun Chuan.
When that impossibly beautiful woman finally left, Yun Chuan let out a huge sigh of relief. From the Wet Nurse's earlier address of "Your Holiness," he could be certain that this woman was the greatest villain of Douluo Continent I—the future Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong!
In Yun Chuan's eyes, this woman possessed unparalleled beauty and the aura of a goddess, but she was actually a madwoman! Ever since she had been raped by her teacher Qian Xunji and threatened into giving birth to his bastard child, this woman had already gone mad!
Just looking at all her actions in the original story, where she destroyed purely for the sake of destruction, was enough to show that this woman's heart had become utterly twisted!
