You've Interviewed Two Hundred and Seventy-Two Wet Nurses Already!

Lin Luo was severely short on Growth Value, so he had to replenish it quickly and in large quantities.

He had no desire to grow up slowly until he was six. By then, the daylilies would have gone cold.

Before the system upgraded, infancy was the last period during which he could gain Growth Value.

But infancy was very short for people on the Douluo Continent, lasting only about half a year. After that, children could talk and toddle about.

The only way to gain Growth Value during infancy was to drink Qian Renxue's breast milk.

Other food and other women's breast milk were completely useless. At most, they could fill his stomach.

These guys found a wet nurse so quickly? This God King was only just born and hasn't even had a chance to catch his breath.

Damn it, and I just happened to use up all the Growth Value I spent so long saving.

Time is short. You should obediently put Qian Renxue's breast in this God King's mouth.

Now that's the right password.

Foolish mortals...

Listening to the excited voices of the group as they went to find a wet nurse, Lin Luo felt utterly exhausted.

When they arrived at a room in the Worship Hall, the wet nurse had already been waiting there for some time.

She immediately came over and knelt. Her looks were indeed quite good, but most importantly, the size of her breasts made Guang Ling and the others draw a sharp breath on the spot.

Ling Yuan stared in a daze and even pulled her clothes tighter, feeling somewhat inferior...

"Greetings, Your Eminences. Is this child the baby?"

The wet nurse looked up with a smile.

"Mm, we'll leave him to you."

"Don't worry, I know a thing or two about looking after children. Every child I've cared for has been well-behaved and never cried."

With that, the wet nurse confidently thrust out her chest.

But the moment she took Lin Luo, the baby, who had been quiet all along, suddenly opened his mouth and burst into loud sobs.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah-"

The wet nurse was dumbfounded.

Though pretending to be a baby and crying loudly made Lin Luo, a dignified God King, feel deeply ashamed, he had no choice.

He had to make these mortals understand that his tastes were very particular.

"Oh dear! Why are you crying?"

The wet nurse looked at Lin Luo's little face, a surge of affection rising in her heart, but nothing she did could soothe him.

At that moment, She Long solemnly took Lin Luo back and scolded her. "Didn't you say you knew a thing or two about looking after children? He wasn't even crying just now!"

The wet nurse felt wronged. "I... I don't know either!"

Just then, however, Guang Ling and the others noticed that Lin Luo had suddenly stopped crying again.

Yes, the crying had stopped quite decisively.

As if he had spotted a clue, She Long slowly placed Lin Luo back in the wet nurse's arms. The instant they touched, Lin Luo went, "Waaah-"

Good, case solved.

She Long pointed at the door, his face expressionless. "This is what you called being naturally baby-friendly? Get out."

"...Fine, I'll go!"

Her pride wounded, the wet nurse ran off in tears.

Guang Ling said solemnly, "She Long, find every wet nurse in Spirit City and bring them here. I'll interview them for the baby myself!"

"Yes!"

All morning, the guards at Spirit Hall's gates stared openmouthed as one amply endowed woman after another walked in.

As if they were being selected for an imperial harem, the wet nurses chatted with one another, feeling greatly honored and looking forward to seeing what the child looked like. Outside the hall, a crowd of onlookers gathered to watch the excitement.

On this day, while Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the others were unconscious... the whole of Spirit City was stunned.

Whose child could possibly command such a grand display?

They were actually holding open interviews for every wet nurse in the city!

The interview process was very simple.

Pufferfish and Ling Yuan stood at the entrance to the Pope's Hall. One asked about each wet nurse's background, while the other checked her looks. Anyone who didn't meet their standards was passed over immediately.

Guang Ling and She Long sat in the main hall of the Pope's Hall. Whenever a wet nurse came in, they had her try holding the child.

As soon as the child cried, She Long told the wet nurse to get out.

By the end of the day, the interviews had become extremely brief.

Guang Ling: "Hold."

Lin Luo: "Waaah-"

She Long: "Out."

Three people, basically three lines, each consisting of just one word.

By the end, even Lin Luo's crying had become halfhearted. All he had to do was let out a single "waah."

Dusk was approaching.

There were only a few wet nurses left to interview.

Guang Ling watched anxiously. Come to think of it, the child had gone over a day without eating.

"Grrr, grrr-"

Lin Luo listened expressionlessly to the sounds coming from his stomach. He really was hungry.

He hated that he couldn't speak.

Elsewhere.

"Baby!"

Qian Renxue's eyes flew open, and she sat bolt upright in bed.

She panted heavily, staring blankly ahead as tears streamed from the corners of her eyes.

She had dreamed that her child had grown up into a cheerful, sunny young man who loved to smile.

But the young man had suddenly said to her, "You're not my mother. You're nothing but the shell that carried me."

Those words alone had made Qian Renxue cry out in tears and startled her awake.

"Baby~"

Qian Renxue called softly and turned her head, only to be startled by the empty space beside her bed.

Just then, Jones entered the room and hurriedly explained, "Young Miss, you're awake. Don't worry, the child is with the Fifth Offering."

Jones covered her mouth and laughed. "They're interviewing all the wet nurses in the city for him. It's quite a sight, but the Little Young Master is really picky. He hasn't liked a single one."

"Is that so..."

Still shaken, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hands and tucked her golden hair behind her ears, revealing her fair, delicate face.

It had only been a dream.

As Qian Renxue thought about it, a smile appeared on her face. She hurried out of bed and eagerly slipped on her shoes.

"I'll go take a look."

"Young Miss, slow down!"

Watching Qian Renxue hurry away, Jones smiled and shook her head. "That child hasn't even grown up herself, and she's already a mother... Come to think of it, she's much like I was back then."

Jones suddenly sighed, because her child had been dead for decades.

It was probably around that time that she had realized just how heavy a mother's love could be.

Regardless of age or status, it was utterly pure.

Heavens, please bless the Young Miss and the Little Young Master with long, healthy, and peaceful lives, Jones said silently in her heart.

Qian Renxue ran happily along the road, eager to see Lin Luo.

"Little rascal, if I don't see you smiling when you see me, you're done for. I'm running to you with a big smile on my face, after all. Hmph."

On the vast, white marble plaza, the young woman gathered her long skirt and ran as joyfully and lightly as a fawn, the hopes and love in her heart thick enough to take shape.

In those gloomy days, the little rascal was a gift from heaven to her!

As she reached the entrance to the Pope's Hall, Qian Renxue gradually slowed down. She saw women passing her one after another, all wearing miserable expressions.

"I didn't do anything! How was I supposed to know why he'd cry?"

A woman muttered resentfully.

Qian Renxue tilted her head. Crying?

Who dared make her baby cry?!

Her little face solemn, she stepped through the gates of the Pope's Hall and immediately saw Pufferfish and She Long kneeling before Ling Yuan, who was holding the child.

She Long cried out, "Little ancestor! You've interviewed two hundred and seventy-two wet nurses already! What exactly do you want?!"
