The Baby Who Could Argue from Birth

"W-what?!"

Two hundred and seventy-two wet nurses??

Qian Renxue was stunned on the spot.

Granny Jones had told her that the little bastard was picky about wet nurses, but she had never imagined he was this picky!

On the Douluo Continent, wet nurses were indispensable, whether in wealthy households or those of the powerful and influential.

What was more, the nobler the family, the more wet nurses it had. Birth mothers were not allowed to breastfeed their own children.

That was because it went against noble etiquette on the Douluo Continent.

On the Douluo Continent, only commoners would breastfeed their own children.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family alone had nearly a hundred wet nurses in total, employed specifically to care for newborn young masters and young ladies.

Spirit Hall was also part of the nobility, and stood first among the Douluo Continent's three great noble powers. Qian Renxue, moreover, was the most important and most cherished princess of the greatest noble power.

Naturally, her child deserved the grandest possible treatment.

Never mind interviewing every wet nurse in the city for the child. If they couldn't find a suitable one in Spirit City, they would bring in every wet nurse on the continent!

Spirit Hall had deep foundations and more than enough resources to do it.

Qian Renxue glanced to the side and saw that quite a few women were still waiting in line outside the hall.

The women were all extremely curious, wondering who had given birth to the child and how he could already hold such an exalted position just after being born.

Just then, several women spotted Qian Renxue at the entrance to the hall.

They froze, struck on the spot by the young woman's beauty.

Qian Renxue hurriedly withdrew her gaze and raised a hand to partly cover her face.

Her identity was sensitive, so it was best not to expose herself too much. She immediately entered the Pope's Hall.

"Xue'er, you're awake? Are you feeling better?"

Guang Ling immediately stood up when he saw her, asking in pleasant surprise.

Qian Renxue nodded with a smile.

She Long walked over, looking utterly helpless. "Young..."

"Shh-"

Qian Renxue immediately raised a finger to her lips.

There were too many eyes and ears around; it was best not to expose her identity outside.

"...We've interviewed almost three hundred wet nurses, but we still haven't found a suitable one. The baby won't stop crying."

She Long explained the problem they were facing.

If he didn't eat soon, the little young master might starve to death!

Qian Renxue was puzzled. "Why is he crying?"

She stepped forward and took the baby into her arms with practiced ease.

But the moment the baby saw Qian Renxue, he broke into a delighted grin.

"Hehehehe~"

No one was even trying to make him laugh, yet he suddenly seemed exceptionally happy.

Qian Renxue was taken aback. She immediately smiled, brought her face close, and rubbed it against the baby's cheek.

The little bastard really does recognize me... Qian Renxue thought happily.

"He laughed! The baby laughed!"

"Heavens, he actually laughed!"

"Damn it, I'm about to cry!!" Pufferfish shouted, kneeling on the floor, both thrilled and at his breaking point.

Ling Yuan said with deep feeling, "Yes. We've all been listening to the baby cry all day. He never stopped once, and our heads were practically splitting from it. We don't even know why."

At that moment, the baby kept letting out laughter as sweet as silver bells in Qian Renxue's arms.

Just looking at Qian Renxue seemed to make him immensely happy.

"Are you that happy to see me? Hmm? Mommy's asking you, were you being naughty just now?"

Qian Renxue spoke words of reprimand in the gentlest tone.

She raised a hand and teased the baby's little mouth, but the next moment, he hugged her arm and took her slender, fair finger into his mouth.

"Ah..."

Qian Renxue froze for a moment, watching awkwardly.

Suck, suck... Qian Renxue, can you understand this God King's hint?

He couldn't speak, so he had no choice but to express himself this way.

"Does my finger taste that good?"

Qian Renxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she watched.

Lin Luo opened his mouth and babbled, then went right back to sucking on Qian Renxue's finger.

Because I'm hungry! I want milk! This God King wants milk!

Give me milk!

The food was right in front of him, yet it might as well have been on the other side of the world.

Lin Luo refused to give up. He raised his chubby little hand and reached toward Qian Renxue.

Let me say hello to my granary! Hurry!

He tried hard to reach for Qian Renxue's chest, but the next moment, she promptly caught his chubby little hand and tucked it into his swaddling.

"Be good. The elders are picking a wet nurse for you. Little babies can't just cry whenever they please, or people won't like them."

Qian Renxue spoke with a serious expression.

She didn't know whether she had managed to put on a mother's authority, but judging by the way the little one blinked at her, he seemed to have understood.

How dare you threaten this God King?

Do you think this God King cares whether other people like him?

Lin Luo blinked up at her, but immediately afterward, She Long took him back into his arms.

Qian Renxue followed Guang Ling to a seat at the side, ready to observe the interviews.

"Xue'er, when are you going back to Heaven Dou?"

Guang Ling asked quietly.

Qian Renxue said, "After I get Grandpa and the others to accept the baby... Whether they accept him willingly or are forced to, they have to accept him either way."

Guang Ling looked at the serious expression on Qian Renxue's face and nodded gently.

As far as he could remember, this was the first time Qian Renxue had defied Qian Daoliu.

The young master really was a little different from the girl she used to be.

"Waaah-"

As they spoke, Lin Luo started crying again, and She Long helplessly sent yet another wet nurse away.

The scene made Qian Renxue frown slightly.

Over the following stretch of time, the wet nurses left one after another. Soon, even the last one was passed over.

Qian Renxue watched the whole process carefully and seemed to notice something.

Pufferfish cried in exasperation, "Four hundred and thirty-two wet nurses, and not one of them could satisfy the little young master..."

Qian Renxue suddenly spoke up. "Can't you hear how halfhearted this little brat's crying is?"

Lin Luo's brow twitched.

Qian Renxue really does understand me!

Qian Renxue walked over and took Lin Luo back into her arms. Mother and son looked at each other seriously.

"Little bastard, are you causing trouble on purpose?"

Lin Luo said, "Aah!"

He really did start voicing his displeasure, looking fierce despite his babyishness.

Qian Renxue said, "You're getting fierce with me? Believe it or not, I'll stuff you right back in!"

Lin Luo said, "Aah!"

Qian Renxue said, "I'll pinch your little nose!"

Lin Luo said, "Aah!"

Qian Renxue said, "I'll poke your little cheek!"

Lin Luo said, "Aah!"

Pufferfish watched the scene, silently walked over to Ling Yuan, and asked quietly, "Do they... speak the same language? How are they even arguing?"

The corner of Ling Yuan's mouth twitched. "It's my first time meeting a baby who could argue the moment he was born, too. As expected of the young master's child."

Just then, She Long suddenly shouted.

"I understand!!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to him at once.

Mother and son, Lin Luo and Qian Renxue, both turned their wide eyes toward She Long.

As though he had come to a realization, She Long said, "What the little young master needs might not be a wet nurse..."

At that, he looked seriously at Qian Renxue.
