Crybaby Xue'er, Planning Whale Rubber

Ye Tian ran out of the square.

He sped around the foot of the mountain toward the back of Central Divine Mountain.

The breeze brushed against his face, leaving him exhilarated.

In less than a quarter of an hour,

Ye Tian reached the sandy ground near the Orphanage where the children played.

With a thud, he fell flat on his back.

He lay sprawled across the sand, holding the ring up to the sunlight for inspection.

He poured Soul Power into it.

There was a full eight cubic meters of space inside, like a small room!

"As expected of the Pope."

Delight filled Ye Tian's eyes as he gripped the Soul Tool tightly. Spreading his arms, he lay on the sand and basked in the warm sunlight.

Even being accepted as Bibi Dong's disciple did not diminish the joy in Ye Tian's heart.

After all,

he possessed the advantage of foresight.

Whether it would bring fortune or disaster remained to be seen.

Ye Tian only wanted to cultivate steadily and break through to Titled Douluo as soon as possible.

Of course, he could not give up the opportunities that were his to claim.

Ye Tian knew very well

that the God of Food was the only God Position suited for a Food System Spirit Master!

And the condition for opening a God Trial was to break through to the Titled Douluo realm before the age of forty.

In Ye Tian's view, as long as he properly arranged his cultivation path and the direction of his Martial Soul's growth, it would not be too difficult.

The truly troublesome part

was finding the other half of the God of Food.

"Ugh, dual-income households are difficult no matter where you are!"

Ye Tian could not help complaining.

To become a god, he actually had to find himself a suitable other half.

The difficulty had skyrocketed!

Just then, the sound of soles scraping against sand reached Ye Tian's ears.

It drew closer from afar,

along with faint, intermittent sobs.

"Why doesn't Mother want me? I'm obviously so outstanding."

"Why doesn't Mother want me?!"

The increasingly clear crying

made Ye Tian think of that lonely, unlucky child.

"Unless there is no other choice,"

"how could there be a mother in this world who does not love her own child?"

Ye Tian murmured softly.

The sunlight in his vision seemed to sketch out a young woman.

Illness had forever frozen that youthful face in time!

The crying abruptly stopped.

A delicate, tender face streaked with tears suddenly shattered the curtain of light that carried his longing and appeared above Ye Tian. She choked out:

"You're talking nonsense. Mother just doesn't love me!"

Ye Tian trembled slightly, utterly bewildered.

Without blinking, he stared at the girl crouching before him.

Golden silky hair, dressed in a white gown.

Her large, round eyes resembled blooming violets.

The thin layer of tears only added to her beauty.

Ye Tian had never expected

that this unlucky child would appear right before him this time.

Judging by the situation,

she had clearly hit another wall with Bibi Dong.

"..."

Qian Renxue looked down upon the person lying on the sand.

When she saw his face, she was stunned as well.

It was actually that guy who was best at making sand sculptures!

The surprise in her eyes vanished in an instant, turning back into grievance.

Little pearls threatened to spill from her eyes.

Though she was still so young, she already had a stubborn streak. She repeated:

"Mother just doesn't love Xue'er!"

Ye Tian's pitch-black eyes glimmered slightly. Another investment object!

Naturally, he was more than happy to make this kind of friend.

Even if his own talent was quite good.

Ye Tian slowly looked away, relaxed his body again, and said calmly:

"She just doesn't like you."

"Waaah~!"

Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Qian Renxue cried even harder. Her violet-like eyes seemed covered in morning dew, crystal-clear and gemlike.

She raised both hands to cover her face.

Yet tears still trickled down, splashing onto Ye Tian's smooth forehead.

In the shadows,

a chill swept over him.

It made Ye Tian shudder involuntarily!

Not daring to delay any longer, he hurriedly added:

"Liking someone and loving someone seem to be two different things, right?"

"What do you think?"

"Huh?"

A question mark seemed to hover over Qian Renxue's head. She spread her hands, revealing her tearful eyes as she blinked.

"W-what?"

"I'm saying liking and loving are two different things!"

Ye Tian had lost his earlier composure. Looking embarrassed, he forced out a smile.

He would bet

that someone even more terrifying than eight hundred axemen was lying in ambush nearby!

"???"

Qian Renxue could not understand, but at that moment, she desperately longed for Bibi Dong's affection and was willing to keep making excuses for Bibi Dong in her heart.

Tear streaks hanging on her face, Qian Renxue gazed at Ye Tian

and asked tentatively:

"Really? Liking and loving are different?"

"Of course. You'll understand when you grow up."

Ye Tian nodded repeatedly in affirmation.

Love was obviously far heavier than liking.

Qian Renxue seemed to have grasped a lifesaving straw. Her beautiful eyes brightened slightly as she asked eagerly, "Then... then are you saying Mother loves me?"

Words fell.

The light in Qian Renxue's eyes faded, turning dim once more.

She looked at Ye Tian through tear-blurred eyes,

confused and aggrieved.

"Then why doesn't Mother like me?"

"I don't know about that."

Ye Tian spread his hands helplessly.

Even if he knew, he could not say it. Unless he wanted to reincarnate right now.

But he could be certain

that Bibi Dong was definitely not as utterly deranged as she would become later.

In the end, she had been willing to save Qian Renxue.

That already explained everything.

Not to mention now, when she had not yet reached the point of no return?

"You!"

Qian Renxue grew a little angry, and tears threatened to fall again.

Ye Tian was stunned. Crying again?!

Why was Qian Renxue such a crybaby? Still, anyone who encountered the current Bibi Dong would probably be unable to hold it together.

Including him, her disciple.

Sensing the unfriendly gaze surging from the shadows, Ye Tian felt bitter inside.

He should not have acted on impulse

and tried to make friends at a time like this!

In his desperation, Ye Tian quickly came up with a somewhat childish idea.

"I can let you know that she loves you!"

The moment the words left his mouth, they worked immediately.

Qian Renxue stopped crying and looked at Ye Tian eagerly as she asked:

"Really? What should I do?"

"As long as you tell me, I'll do anything you ask."

"I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Really?"

Ye Tian's eyes brightened as he locked eyes with Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue stared fixedly at him and nodded heavily.

"Really!"

"Then I want Whale Rubber."

Ye Tian's mind raced as he swiftly stated his condition.

He still did not know how Bibi Dong would treat him.

Qian Renxue was clearly more reliable.

"What is Whale Rubber?"

Qian Renxue asked innocently.

"It's the stuff inside the heads of whale-type Sea Spirit Beasts."

Ye Tian pointed at his own head.

Qian Renxue still did not quite understand, but she silently remembered it and nodded decisively.

"Alright! I can do that."

"Tell me what I need to do first. Once it works, I'll go back and have Grandpa and the others retrieve the Whale Rubber."

A relaxed smile returned to Ye Tian's face.

It even carried a hint of cunning.

"It's simple. Just kowtow to her once."

"Kowtow... kowtow to Mother?"

Qian Renxue was dumbfounded and confused.

"Do I have to kneel before mother like dad's subordinates do?"
