"Yeah, aren't you afraid that Xiao Xue will be bored? Just holding her is boring, let her have some fun."
Qian Xunji looked at the shadow puppet show, and then at the way the worshipers craned their necks to watch, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.
Who is having fun for whom?
Qian Renxue in Azure Luan Douluo's arms heard the noise and turned his little head. When he saw his parents, his eyes immediately lit up.
She stretched out her two little hands and reached for them.
"Ah--ah--"
Azure Luan Douluo smiled and looked down at her, "Miss your parents?"
He handed over Qian Renxue: "My child misses you."
Bibi Dong quickly reached out to take it and took her daughter into her arms.
Qian Renxue nestled into her mother's warm embrace, rubbed her little face, and then opened her little mouth.
"Uh... uh..."
Bibi Dong lowered his head to look at her, his heart softened. "Are you hungry? Mom brought food."
Qian Xunji took out a small bottle from his pocket.
Qian Daoliu's eyes fell on the bottle and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
"Beast milk, Dong'er wants to take advantage of these few days to hunt Soul Ring and break through Soul Saint."
"But Xiao Xue is still sucking milk. We want to try to see if she can drink animal milk."
Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Soul Emperor has been stuck for a long time. It's time to break through, so let's give it a try."
Bibi Dong hugged Qian Renxue and sat down on the stone bench, opened the small bottle and poured out a small bowl.
She scooped up a little with a small spoon and carefully handed it to her daughter's mouth.
"Baby, come on, try this."
Qian Renxue looked at the spoonful of milk in front of him and was stunned for a moment.
Animal milk?
In her previous life, she seemed to have grown up drinking animal milk.
At that time, my mother... didn't want to touch her.
Not to mention breastfeeding, not even a hug.
She still vaguely remembered her grandfather saying that she grew up drinking animal milk.
What did animal milk taste like back then?
It seems... that's what it tastes like.
She opened her small mouth and caught the spoonful of animal milk.
The warm liquid slides into the throat, sweet and slightly fishy.
Qian Renxue Swallow it, open your mouth again, and ask for more.
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"She drank it!" She scooped up another spoonful and handed it to her daughter's mouth, "Xiao Xue is so good!"
Qian Renxue drank another spoonful.
Qian Xunji looked on with surprise. "She doesn't reject it? That's great!"
Qian Daoliu also smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "This child is well-behaved and not picky."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a smile, "Children like Xiao Xue are here to repay their kindness. They don't cry or make trouble. They eat whatever they give them, so they can worry less."
Azure Luan Douluo nodded in agreement. "Isn't that right? I have seen so many children, but I have never seen one that is so easy to take care of."
Mighty Lion Douluo also said, "My eldest brother is lucky to have such a well-behaved granddaughter."
Qian Daoliu smiled happily when he heard it, but said, "That's right, I don't even know who the granddaughter is."
Qian Renxue was nestled in her mother's arms, drinking animal milk and listening to these words.
To repay a favor?
She swallowed a mouthful of milk and thought to herself: No one said that in her previous life.
She opened her mouth again and took another spoonful.
Azure Luan Douluo looked at this scene and turned to look at Bibi Dong: "Dong'er, I heard from my elder brother that you have become the pope? How is it, are you used to it?"
Bibi Dong replied while feeding her daughter, "I was a little nervous at first, but it will get better gradually."
"With Xunji teaching me and uncles helping me, I should be able to get started slowly."
Qian Daoliu nodded and put down the tea cup. "First, study and improve your strength."
"After Research Institute is completed, Xunji, as Dean, will leave Pope Palace. Then you will have to rely on yourself."
"I know dad, I will work hard."
Qian Renxue Listening to this conversation, I thought to myself: My mother's path in this life is really different from her previous life.
There are people to teach, people to help, and people to support.
She opened her mouth again and took another spoonful.
I drank most of the bowl of animal milk quickly.
Qian Renxue's belly gradually swelled, and her milk drinking speed also slowed down.
Finally, she swallowed the last spoonful and closed her mouth tightly, no longer opening it.
Then--
"Hiccup~"
A milk burp came out of her mouth.
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
Qian Xunji reached out and patted her daughter's back gently. "Are you full?"
Qian Renxue blinked and said nothing.
But that satisfied little expression clearly said: I'm full, I can't drink any more.
Qian Xunji stood up, put away the empty bowl, and then looked at his father. "Dad, will you continue to help us take care of Xiao Xue today? We have to go back and deal with something."
"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway."
As he said that, he already stretched out his hand and took his granddaughter from Bibi Dong's arms.
His actions were swift and his attitude was positive.
Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed with a smile on the side, "Brother, your eyes are bright."
Qian Daoliu glared at him. "Nonsense."
Mighty Lion Douluo nodded. "Indeed, eldest brother really wants them to be busy."
Qian Daoliu: "... You guys, can't you stop your mouth with tea?"
Several worshipers laughed.
Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong also laughed.
"Then Dad, let's go back first."
"Go ahead, go ahead," Qian Daoliu waved his hand, his eyes already falling on his granddaughter, "Xiao Xue Be good, grandpa will play with you."
Afterwards, Qian Daoliu hugged his granddaughter and wandered around the courtyard.
"Xiao Xue, look, the shadow puppet show hasn't finished yet, shall we continue watching?"
Qian Renxue followed his gaze and saw that the shadow puppet show was still being performed. The little people and animals on the curtain were jumping around and it was very lively.
Several worshipers also sat down again, drinking tea and watching the show, teasing Qian Renxue from time to time.
After watching the shadow puppet show for a while, and listening to the gossips of several worshippers, Qian Renxue's eyelids gradually became heavy.
The baby's body is like this. It gets sleepy when it's full and sleeps when it's sleepy. It's not under her control at all.
She yawned and rubbed her little head into her grandfather's arms.
Qian Daoliu looked down at her and said in a soft voice, "Are you sleepy?"
Qian Renxue said nothing, his eyes were half-closed.
Qian Daoliu stood up holding her in his arms and said to the worshippers, "Xiao Xue is sleepy. I'll take her to have a nap first."
"Okay, big brother," Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "Let's continue drinking tea."
Qian Daoliu carried his granddaughter into his room.
He put Qian Renxue on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Qian Renxue was lying on the soft quilt, looking at Grandpa with half-squinted eyes.
Qian Daoliu sat beside the bed and reached out to pat her little body.
"Go to sleep, Xiao Xue."
Qian Renxue blinked, then slowly closed it.
After Bibi Dong handed Qian Renxue to Qian Daoliu, he and Qian Xunji returned to the dormitory.
After working hard all morning, both of them were a little tired and were ready to take a lunch break.
Qian Xunji took off his robe and walked to the bed. "Want to sleep for a while?"
Bibi Dong followed him and rolled his eyes, "Wait a minute."
Qian Xunji turned around. "What's wrong?"
Bibi Dong walked up to him, put her hand on his chest, and pushed him back.
Qian Xunji was pushed back two steps and leaned against the bedpost with a confused look on his face. "What are you doing?"
Bibi Dong cleared his throat, straightened his face and put on a dignified look.
"This pope asks you, do you know your sins?"
Qian Xunji was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.
He cooperated. "Belonging to... what kind of crime is this subordinate guilty of?"
"What's the crime?"
Bibi Dong raised his chin, "In the dining room this morning, what did you say in front of this Pope? What about 'beautiful to eat' and 'beautiful', are these things that a subordinate should say?"
Qian Xunji Looking at her trying to be dignified but unable to help but raise the corners of her mouth, she couldn't help but smile in her heart, but her face showed a look of panic.
"... I'm just telling the truth, His Holiness the Pope is indeed beautiful and delicious."
"You still dare to quibble?" Bibi Dong took a step forward and pressed him closer, "It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful this pope is."
She thought for a while, and a wisp of spider silk from her fingertips came out from her palm.
Qian Xunji looked at the strand of spider silk and his eyelids twitched.
"Dong'er, what are you..."
"Call His Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong glared at him, and then the strand of spider silk wrapped around his wrist.
Qian Xunji looked down at his wrapped wrist, his heart pounding.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong is so good?
"His Holiness the Pope This is?"
