Just as Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite Douluo expected His Holiness the Pope to fly into a thunderous rage, what happened next was far beyond either of their expectations.
"Elder Ghost Leopard, Elder Spirit Kite. Tonight's events are of vital importance to Spirit Hall. You must keep them secret and never tell anyone!"
Bibi Dong hugged the baby in her arms tightly, then turned and warned Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite.
They had never heard her speak with such severity before.
"We obey. It's just that, as for this child's identity, we should..."
Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite exchanged a glance. They would naturally never dare disobey His Holiness the Pope's command.
But how were they supposed to explain the child's identity to others?
At this, Bibi Dong raised her slender arm and used her delicate hand to wipe the front of her robe, dampened by the child's drool. After a brief moment of thought, she said:
"If we need to make an announcement, just say I found this child while I was out clearing my head! If anyone doesn't believe it, they can come ask me to my face!"
As Bibi Dong spoke, killing intent radiated from her entire body.
As the fastest person on Douluo Continent to rise to the rank of Titled Douluo, she had known from the very first moment she met the swaddled baby's gaze that the boy had extraordinary talent. With proper guidance, he would surely become a top expert renowned far and wide!
"We understand."
Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite nodded. Looking at the child in His Holiness the Pope's arms, they couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune!
With His Holiness the Pope personally guiding him, it would only be a matter of time before he grew into a Titled Douluo!
Having figured out what had happened, the three of them immediately transformed into streaks of light and vanished from the back mountain of Spirit Hall in the blink of an eye.
Not long after they left, two figures, one golden and one azure, descended from the sky. They were none other than Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu, and Third Offering, Azure Luan Douluo.
Looking at the huge crater in the ground, Azure Luan Douluo said in surprise:
"Big Brother, Bibi Dong took that child away. Could she be planning to..."
Before Azure Luan Douluo could finish, Qian Daoliu beside him waved a hand to cut him off.
"As long as she doesn't do anything to betray Xiao Xue, I can turn a blind eye and consider it compensation for her..."
Meanwhile, in the Pope's Bedchamber, filled with the fragrance of gardenias, a delicate, doll-like baby slowly awoke.
He stared with wide eyes, gazing around in confusion. Looking at the lavishly decorated bedchamber, Lin Tian was utterly bewildered.
Hadn't he been in his boss's office, playing poker with the boss's wife? How had he ended up in another world after a quick nap?
Where the hell was he? Was this still Earth?
Lin Tian tentatively tried to move, but something felt wrong with his body. He seemed to have no strength at all.
He struggled to raise an arm, but when he saw its pale, tender skin, as smooth as a lotus root, Lin Tian froze.
What was going on?
Had a strapping man who could piss three feet into the wind been reborn as a baby? Had all his bulging muscles turned into soft, pink skin?
This was just too cruel.
As Lin Tian looked around, a cold system notification sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully awakened the (Cute Baby God King System)!] [Complete the system's missions to receive a variety of rare rewards.] [Main Mission 1: Train on Douluo Continent and become a level 95 Titled Douluo. Mission Reward (Asura God Position)] [Main Mission 2: Change Douluo Continent's ending and make sure those who are fated to die do die!] [Side Mission: Randomly generated according to the host's age and growth.] [Current Side Mission: Grow to the age of 6 and complete Martial Soul Awakening. Mission Reward (Spirit Eye)] [Spirit Eye: Allows you to see through bones and into the heart, discerning the strength of Martial Souls.]
As Lin Tian stared wide-eyed, wondering how he was supposed to survive on Douluo Continent, a faint scent of roses mingled with a woman's body fragrance drifted into his nostrils, making him feel utterly refreshed.
He turned toward the source of the fragrance and saw a graceful figure wrapped in a purple bathrobe.
As she drew nearer, a stunningly beautiful face appeared before Lin Tian. Her features were exquisite, her skin as smooth and white as mutton-fat jade, her brows shaped like willow leaves, and her cherry-red lips gleamed. A lock of wine-red hair fell casually against her cheeks, swaying faintly with each breath.
Her rose-red eyes rested on Lin Tian's tiny form, brimming with a mother's tenderness.
Lin Tian gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful young woman before him, confusion flickering across his childish face. Could this beautiful young woman be his mother in this life?
If so, this transmigration was definitely worth celebrating.
Lying on the soft bed, the child couldn't help clapping his hands, his little face full of joy.
Seeing the delighted child on the bed seemed to lift Bibi Dong's spirits, too. She bent down, picked Lin Tian up again, and murmured softly:
"You seem so happy. You must really like your new home at Spirit Hall! My name is Bibi Dong, and I'm Spirit Hall's new Pope. If you agree, I'd like to be your mother."
Lin Tian stared intently with his round little eyes at the young woman holding him. When he heard that she was Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall, his heart jolted.
Good heavens, after sleeping with the boss's wife, he'd actually been reborn in Douluo Continent, this fantasy world's sewer.
And what shocked Lin Tian most was that Bibi Dong wanted to be his mother in this world.
For a moment, Lin Tian didn't know what to do.
But soon, the unusual fragrance wafting from the beautiful young woman overwhelmed him. He nestled against Bibi Dong and drifted back to sleep.
Though Lin Tian's consciousness belonged to an adult, his body was still that of a baby. After everything he'd been through that day, he was completely worn out.
Looking down at the baby asleep in her arms once more, Bibi Dong couldn't help smiling affectionately.
For some reason, from the very first moment she had met this child, she had felt an unusual fondness for him.
The feeling had gone straight to her head, so much so that she had begun to want to be the child's mother.
"How strange. Why would I have such a thought? And about a child I've never even met before?"
After settling Lin Tian on the bed, Bibi Dong stroked her beautiful cheek and turned to enter a secret chamber. Hidden inside was her greatest secret...
