Mother Opens Her Heart for the First Time
Lin Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. This matter could finally be resolved.
He opened the system interface, which he hadn't checked in a long time.
[Main Growth Stage: Nursing Period] [Main Quest for This Stage: Collect Growth Value] [Accumulated Growth Value: 0] [Time Remaining in Current Stage: Six Months] [Note: The system will undergo an upgrade in six months, upgrading to the "Childhood Period"] [The "Main Quest" will be changed at that time]
Interesting, interesting.
So the so-called upgrade was a change from the nursing period to the childhood period.
The nursing period's main quest was to collect Growth Value, so what would the childhood period's main quest have him collect?
Lin Luo now fully realized that the system in this life was completely different from the one in his previous life.
Isn't this life's system a little too innovative?
It looked like his path of growth would be completely different.
Lin Luo even wondered whether his Martial Soul in this life might be different from the one in his previous life.
Would it undergo some kind of mutation under Qian Renxue's influence?
Or would it change outright because of the change in the system?
While Lin Luo pondered, Qian Renxue had already carried him out of the Pope's Hall.
She was probably getting ready to breastfeed him.
This girl really is a woman of action. She doesn't dawdle at all.
Just keep it up and raise this God King well. I'll be sure to show you plenty of filial devotion in the future.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Luo continued exploring the system.
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the "Growth Side Quest" function] [Growth Side Quest Stage: Nursing Period] [Side Quest for This Stage: Complete the daily activities required of a nursing infant and collect Lottery Points] [Activity One: Nursing] [Points Earned: 100 per feeding] [Activity Two: Sleeping] [Points Earned: 100 per sleep] [Activity Three: Defecating] [Points Earned: 100 per time] [Activity Four: Urinating] [Points Earned: 100 per time] [Activity Five: Rolling Over for the First Time] [Points Earned: 500] [Activity Six: Crawling] [Points Earned: 500 per 50 meters] [Activity Seven: Calling Mama for the First Time] [Points Earned: 2,000] [Activity Eight: Walking] [Points Earned: 1,000 per 50 meters] [Current Accumulated Lottery Points: 100]
Looking at the descriptions of all eight activities, Lin Luo was stunned.
The side quests are this easy???
I can get Lottery Points just by eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, and sleeping every day?
What are Lottery Points?
Lin Luo took a look and discovered a large prize wheel on the Growth Side Quest interface.
He could draw once for every 500 points he paid.
So the prizes I draw are basically side quest rewards?
In that case, the Growth Side Quest is way more enticing than the main one!
But Lin Luo noticed that the point rewards for eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, and sleeping didn't seem to be very high.
Rolling over, crawling, calling mama for the first time, and walking were the four activities that rewarded the most points...
But they seemed a little difficult for Lin Luo during the nursing period.
Especially the last one, walking.
Lin Luo remembered that in his previous life, he hadn't learned to walk until he was a year old.
Now he had to learn to walk within the first six months after birth. That was too hard.
As for the reward for calling mama for the first time...
2,000 points!
How generous!
That was enough for four draws, and all he had to do to get it was say two syllables.
Lin Luo tried to call out "Mama."
"Goo-goo."
Huh??? This God King clearly said mama, so how did it come out as goo-goo?
Lin Luo was utterly bewildered.
Qian Renxue lowered her head and gently comforted him. "I know, I know. I'll feed you right away, so don't be impatient. I have to find an empty room first, don't I?"
Lin Luo: "..."
It seemed he was still too young and hadn't learned to speak yet.
Before long, Qian Renxue arrived at the door to her room.
She stood at the door without rushing inside, instead quickly turning her head to survey her surroundings, her beautiful eyes vigilant, like a thief.
Her inspection was complete. No one was around!
Only then did Qian Renxue tiptoe into the room with the baby in her arms.
After placing the baby on the bed, she immediately locked the door from the inside, then drew the curtains shut.
"Phew..."
Qian Renxue leaned against the door and took a deep breath.
Big sis, you're just feeding your own child... Why are you acting like you're on a secret mission?
Just then, Lin Luo heard the sound of a metal belt falling to the floor.
He turned to look and was briefly stunned.
In the dim, yellow light of the candles, the outline of Qian Renxue's graceful figure showed through her parted, thin outer robe.
She walked slowly over, sat on the edge of the bed, and took Lin Luo into her arms.
The fragrance coming from the girl was comforting and familiar.
"You must never let me down in the future, understand?"
Qian Renxue raised a pale, slender finger and teased Lin Luo's cheek, smiling faintly.
Then she placed her hand against her chest and parted her clothes with her slender fingers.
The robe slipped from her smooth shoulders. Qian Renxue hunched her snowy shoulders and bared one side of her body, a sight that embodied the phrase "ice for skin and jade for bones."
Below her delicate collarbones, her body rose and fell like a plateau of ice and snow, while the granary Lin Luo had been looking forward to was round and white, exquisite as a hill.
Lin Luo stared blankly until the thing pressed against his face. Only then did he come to his senses and close his eyes, feeling as though his entire face had sunk into warm cotton candy.
Qian Renxue carefully lined it up, her movements a little shy and somewhat awkward.
It seems neither of us has much experience...
Lin Luo held his mouth open and only managed to start feeding after quite a while.
In the quiet room, Lin Luo fed by instinct. He looked up at Qian Renxue with his big, adorable eyes, while Qian Renxue gazed down at him gently.
The main quest was underway, and Growth Value was coming in.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was also thinking about her plans for the future.
She would definitely keep the child by her side; she couldn't leave him in Spirit Hall.
When she returned to the Heaven Dou palace, she would tell everyone that the child's parents had died and that she had adopted him.
When the child grew older, she would arrange for him to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
But... will his Martial Soul be a Six-Winged Angel?
Will it stir up a great storm at the academy?
Qian Renxue suddenly wondered.
"Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp..."
The little fellow's sucking tickled her chest, so Qian Renxue could only turn her attention to other things.
Oh, right! I haven't given him a name yet!
What should I name him?
Before long, Lin Luo gradually let go. He was full and even gave a little milk burp.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue put her clothes back on and said to Lin Luo, "What should I name you?"
She received no answer, but at that moment, Qian Renxue frowned. As though sensing something, she immediately lifted his swaddling clothes.
Between two curled-up, chubby little legs, a stream of water shot straight upward.
Qian Renxue squeezed her eyes shut, but she couldn't dodge in time. Her pretty face was splashed with iced black tea.
She was dumbfounded.
Then she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You! Little! Brat!"
[Congratulations! You have completed the "Nursing" and "Urinating" side quests once each, earning 200 Lottery Points]
Ignoring Qian Renxue's current frenzy, Lin Luo contentedly closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Sorry, this God King is doing his side quests first. Remember to change my diaper, Mother~
