Bibi Dong's Maternal Love Ignited

After burping, Luo Dong didn't immediately close his eyes to sleep.

He remembered the words from the System Mission: "Show happiness."

So, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a brilliant smile.

His eyes crinkled, and his mouth stretched open, showing his bare pink gums.

His entire little face scrunched up with the smile, his eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

As he smiled, he waved his little hand.

He wanted to reach for Bibi Dong's dangling hair, to make her happy.

It was an infant's smile, pure and without a trace of impurity.

Bibi Dong stared at the smile, completely stunned.

His little face beamed at her with unreserved joy.

His eyes, narrowed into slits, were filled with contentment and delight.

Something in her chest was gently nudged.

It felt sour.

And warm.

A feeling she had never experienced before began to sprout.

That feeling was the complete opposite of hatred.

Hate was cold, hard, a force that tore everything apart.

But this feeling was warm, soft.

As she watched, something deep within her heart seemed to be mended, bit by bit.

Her innate maternal love, as a mother, was being activated by this smile, little by little.

Qian Renxue had been born for three years, and Bibi Dong had never felt this way before.

Looking at her daughter, her heart was filled only with numbness and resistance, separated by a thick wall of ice.

But now, this foundling baby smiled at her, and cracks appeared in that ice wall.

Taking a deep breath, Bibi Dong averted her gaze and quickly adjusted her collar.

Clearly, she was a little unsure of what to do with this feeling.

Just then, the system panel in her mind lit up.

[Daily Quest Complete]

[Reward Issued: Soul Power Level +1]

[Current Soul Power Level: Level 84]

A vast surge of soul power appeared out of nowhere within Bibi Dong's body.

It was gentle, not violent, yet contained astonishing energy.

It merged automatically with Bibi Dong's original soul power, without any rejection or conflict, as if it had been cultivated by herself.

Level 83 to Level 84.

In just an instant.

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply as she felt the surge of soul power within her.

She was shocked.

She wasn't unfamiliar with heavenly treasures that could increase soul power; the Martial Soul Hall's treasury held quite a few.

But those items had a common problem: they were superficial.

After consuming them, it required a great deal of time to refine, and while soul power increased, it left behind hidden dangers of an unstable foundation, requiring subsequent arduous cultivation to solidify.

However, this time, there was no hint of superficiality.

The newly added soul power was incredibly solid, its foundation as firm as if she had cultivated for years.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and experienced it herself, she would never have believed such power existed on the continent.

Immediately after, that shock was drowned out by a surge of excitement.

It's real.

This system is real.

One feeding, one level of soul power.

Such speed, such quality, was unheard of in the entire history of the continent.

If this pace continued.

The time for her to break through to Titled Douluo would be shortened to an extent she couldn't even imagine.

Killing Qian Xunji was within reach.

Bibi Dong clenched her fingers, using great effort to suppress the excitement that was about to overflow.

Must not rush, not yet.

At the same time, a system notification chimed in Luo Dong's mind.

[Task Completed]

[Rewards Issued: Points +100, Special Physique: Flawless Body]

[Flawless Body is activating...]

A warm current rose from his dantian, slowly flowing toward his limbs and bones.

Luo Dong felt as if warm water had been poured into his body.

The heat was not intense; it moved slowly, like a stream gently soaking a parched riverbed.

Wherever it flowed, his meridians, bones, and flesh underwent subtle changes.

This transformation was not painful.

On the contrary, an indescribable sense of comfort welled up from the depths of his body.

Every cell was breathing joyfully.

[Flawless Body activation complete]

[Effect active: Perfectly digest all food and energy, no excretion required, 100% energy utilization rate, continuous physical enhancement]

Luo Dong carefully sensed the changes.

He realized it was indeed different.

The milk he had just consumed was being digested by his body with incredible efficiency.

Every trace of nutrition was broken down, absorbed, and transported throughout his body without any waste.

Furthermore, there was truly no need for excretion.

For an infant, this was an unreasonable advantage.

While other children only absorbed sixty or seventy percent of their milk, he was at a full hundred percent.

Over time, the nutritional accumulation during the infancy stage alone would create a massive gap.

Moreover, this was milk fed by Bibi Dong herself; the energy it contained was different from that of an ordinary person.

In the future, it seemed he could even have her condense her soul power into energy liquid and infuse it into the milk to feed him.

At the same time, the points had arrived.

On the main system panel, the points column had changed from 0 to 100.

Luo Dong silently opened the system store, looking at the dazzling array of goods with a sense of satisfaction.

From low-level pills costing dozens of points to god-level existences worth tens of thousands.

From cultivation manuals to special permissions, everything was available.

What satisfied him most was the "Task Release Permission" item.

The system description was clear: The host can consume points to issue custom tasks to the bound target.

The content of the task is edited by the host; the higher the difficulty, the more generous the system's reward upon completion.

At the same time, the points required will also be higher.

In other words, he could use points to "command" Bibi Dong to complete certain tasks.

Daily Quest tasks are simple and cost few points;

High-level tasks are complex and cost more points.

This was a trump card.

A card that could change the situation at a critical moment.

It could be used in conjunction with the system's Daily Quest, or specific tasks could be issued based on the actual situation.

The initiative was in his hands.

Luo Dong was quite satisfied with this permission.

Points were hard currency; they could buy items and issue tasks.

In this world, this was his greatest reliance.

However, he only had one hundred points now, not enough to do anything major.

The good items in the store easily cost thousands, and issuing a high-difficulty task was also expensive.

One hundred points could only be considered his first pot of gold.

He had to spend them sparingly.

Luo Dong calculated in his heart, feeling the warm current inside his body gradually return to calm.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt Bibi Dong gently place him on the bed.

Bibi Dong smoothed her clothes and stood by the bed, looking down at him. The subsystem panel in her mind lit up again.

[Quest: Gentle Cleansing]

[Quest Content: Give Luo Dong a bath. Maintain a suitable water temperature, act gently, make him feel comfortable and safe, and clean him thoroughly.]

Bibi Dong looked at the quest content on the panel, her eyes lighting up once more.
