Baby Tian Yu

Xiao Wu's whereabouts were important to Ao Zhan, but not that important.

To him, spreading Alien Energy was the top priority. A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit was just a minor matter. If she were not the female lead, he would not even have bothered asking.

Besides, even if Xiao Wu truly could not be found in the Star Dou Forest, he only needed to wait until the story began and stake out Nuoding City. He would definitely find her there.

He refused to believe Xiao Wu could simply vanish into thin air!

When the time came, that hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, supposedly nonexistent according to Ten Thousand Demon King and the other Fierce Beasts, would have nowhere left to hide.

However, when the group returned, they were astonished to see Qian Daoliu, his hair black, holding a baby who had appeared from who knew where.

She was a baby girl with pink hair, pink and tender, utterly adorable.

Qian Daoliu held the little one with extreme care. His gaze was incredibly gentle, and his every movement was cautious, as though she were the most precious person in his eyes.

"Grandpa, what is going on?"

"Big Brother, where did this child come from?"

Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile asked at the same time.

Judging from Qian Daoliu's attitude toward this child, could she have been born to some girl Qian Xunji had once gotten involved with?

No, that could not be right. Aside from Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji's relationships with the women around him had all been strictly professional. Nothing improper had ever happened.

Besides, they knew all about Qian Xunji's past travels across the continent. He had never been entangled with any woman.

So what was this about?

Surely it was not Qian Daoliu himself having a late-life romance and fathering a child in his second spring?

Unlike Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile, Ao Zhan stared fixedly at the little one in Qian Daoliu's arms.

Because no matter how he looked at her, she was Tian Yu!

And Tian Yu as a baby, at that.

Could this be the owner of Tian Yu's Exotic Energy? The thought sprang into Ao Zhan's mind. He then asked the system, "System, what is going on with this little one?"

"Host, this little one does indeed possess Tian Yu's Exotic Energy. However, unlike Snow Empress's Exotic Energy and Pluto's Exotic Energy, Tian Yu's Exotic Energy has become a person."

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like. With the birth of Tang San, the protagonist, the gears of fate have begun to turn, and conflict is about to begin. Thus, the Alien Energies of the Super Beast Team will gradually emerge as well."

"However, they will not hide within anyone's body. The Super Beast Team's mission is to maintain balance throughout the universe, yet no one on Douluo Continent sees maintaining the balance between factions as their duty. Therefore, their Alien Energies cannot remain hidden within any particular person and will instead become genuine life forms."

"The baby before you appeared near Spirit City because Pluto is Tian Yu's father. Qian Daoliu sensed her presence and brought her back."

While the system explained things to Ao Zhan, Qian Daoliu also told them about the child's origins.

After Ao Zhan and the others had followed Di Tian to the Star Dou Forest, Qian Daoliu had secluded himself in his small courtyard, attempting to control Pluto's Exotic Energy.

However, Pluto's will within Pluto's Exotic Energy was far too unyielding. No matter what Qian Daoliu did, he could not control it, and he had nearly lost control himself. It left him somewhat discouraged, even doubtful of himself.

Ao Zhan had said that Qian Renxue possessed Snow Empress's Exotic Energy, which could contend with Pluto's Exotic Energy. Yet his granddaughter had been able to control Snow Empress's Exotic Energy at such a young age, while he, her grandfather and a Limit Douluo, could do nothing with Pluto's Exotic Energy.

The comparison was truly devastating.

Just then, he had suddenly felt the urge to go outside for a look. Before he had even gone far from his courtyard, he discovered this child.

The instant he saw her, Qian Daoliu's heart melted. He hurriedly brought her back without even considering why this little one had appeared near his courtyard.

"That is what happened. No one knows why this little one appeared near Big Brother's courtyard. And she cries whenever anyone else holds her, but not when Big Brother does. It is as though she were his biological child." At that moment, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo entered, with Qian Jun carrying a Milk Bottle in his hand.

After entering, they handed it to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu took it and fed the little one.

Qian Renxue ran over to Qian Daoliu's side. The moment she saw the adorable little one, her heart melted, and she tentatively reached out her hand.

The little one's eyes flickered. She did not cry, but released the nipple and gave Qian Renxue an adorable smile.

"Wow, Grandpa, she is so cute! Let her be my little sister from now on!" Qian Renxue's heart was completely captured by the baby.

Qian Daoliu chuckled. "Of course."

Ao Zhan spoke with a smile. "Xue'er, I am afraid she cannot be your little sister."

"Ah, why not? Brother Zhan, do you not like her?" Qian Renxue was a little unhappy.

Ao Zhan stepped forward and looked at the little one. "That is not the reason. Strictly speaking, she is the daughter of the owner of the Alien Energy within Grandpa Qian's body. In other words, she is Pluto's daughter."

"Ah? Then why did she appear here?" Qian Daoliu nearly trembled and dropped the bottle.

As he continued coming into contact with Pluto's Exotic Energy, he had gained a general understanding of Pluto.

To put it bluntly, if Pluto truly came here, he could probably seal Douluo Planet, along with the God Realm, with a single Mysterious Underworld Black Hole. There would be no possibility of resistance.

Ao Zhan smiled. "Grandpa Qian, you do not need to be so nervous. She is not Pluto's real daughter."

"Do you remember what I said? Pluto's Exotic Energy and Snow Empress's Exotic Energy came here with me. In truth, aside from those two Alien Energies, seven more also came here. One of them belongs to Tian Yu, Pluto's daughter."

"However, unlike her father or the Snow Empress, she did not hide inside someone's body. Instead, she directly became a person—a baby. Because of the Pluto's Exotic Energy within you, she appeared near your courtyard."

"So that is how it is. No wonder this little one is so close to Big Brother." Guang Ling came to a sudden realization.

Qian Daoliu relaxed upon hearing that. He had been worried that she was Pluto's real daughter. If she grew up and discovered that he possessed her father's Alien Energy, he would not even know how to explain himself.

At the same time, he feared that a being like Pluto might come to Douluo Continent.

Douluo Continent was far too small to accommodate such a great deity!

Guang Ling grinned and teased, "But if we count it that way, does that not make this little one Big Brother's daughter and Xunji's sister? Xue'er, not only can you not call her your little sister from now on, you will have to call her aunt!"
