Three Months Later, Crawling Skill Mastered
Lin Luo had not expected to use this ability here.
But he did not regret it.
Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the others could be considered among the strongest people on the continent. If he did not completely overawe them, there would be trouble later.
What was more, those two were his great-grandfather and grandmother in name.
This was quite an interesting start...
After being reborn, the first people he had to deal with were his own great-grandfather and grandmother.
Although Qian Renxue did not understand what had happened, she played along and issued a stern warning. "Grandpa, that's enough."
Lin Luo: "Yah!"
Hearing the child in her arms cry out as well, Qian Renxue thought Lin Luo was frightened. She quickly raised a hand to pat his little bottom and whispered, "Don't be scared, don't be scared~"
The thirty-second weakened state was still in effect.
Qian Daoliu stared at the scene before him in utter terror.
Not only could he muster no strength at all, but he also seemed unable to use any of his abilities.
Compared to the last time, when he had been violently sent flying, Qian Daoliu was even more terrified by his present inability to do anything.
Despair, helplessness, confusion-countless negative emotions surrounded him.
But the next moment, strength suddenly returned to his body.
He could control his Soul Power again, and his body was no longer weak and limp.
All the worships who had fallen stood up again as though nothing had happened.
Not only were the others surprised, but the worships themselves were also stunned.
What the hell? Was this a haunting? We're fine again?
Qian Renxue took a small step back with the child in her arms, forcing herself to remain calm.
After all, she had no idea what had suddenly happened to the grandpas just now. Surely they could not have been playing along with her.
Qian Daoliu had calmed down considerably, but he had also grown much more wary.
"Who is his father?"
He asked cautiously.
For some reason, Qian Daoliu felt that this man was silently watching everything from somewhere nearby, beyond his ability to detect.
It made him deeply uncomfortable.
Qian Renxue said, "I have to keep that a secret. He... he doesn't belong to the Douluo Continent."
Qian Daoliu nodded gravely. "I more or less guessed as much."
Huh? Qian Renxue froze. I just made that up. You guessed it?
How could Qian Daoliu not guess as much?
There was not a single person on the entire Douluo Continent who could leave him in such a sorry state!
So there was only one possibility: the other party did not belong to the Douluo Continent.
Little did he know that everything was because of the little baby in his granddaughter's arms.
There was no such thing as a biological father at all.
Seeing that her grandfather had calmed down somewhat, Qian Renxue went with the flow and said, "I... he and I truly love each other, so I hope you can acknowledge your great-grandson, Grandpa."
Seeing this, Guang Ling immediately chimed in. "That's right, big brother. Your great-grandson is adorable. You haven't seen him with your own eyes yet, have you?"
How could Qian Daoliu dare look at him now?
He did not even dare go near Qian Renxue, terrified that his grandson-in-law, hidden in the shadows, would stab him.
Wait, grandson-in-law, my ass!
I haven't acknowledged him yet!
Qian Daoliu frowned deeply and said sternly, "Xue'er, how old are you? You still have an arduous task on your shoulders!"
Qian Renxue shook her head. "It won't interfere. I can handle everything."
"If you think the child's existence would cause a bad impression, Grandpa, that's all right too."
"We're the only ones who know about this. At least for now, his existence is a complete secret."
Qian Renxue's words were nearly unassailable.
Most importantly, she had now admitted that she had willingly had this child with a man she "loved."
It had not been an accidental pregnancy, nor were the child's origins unknown.
This child did, in fact, have a recognized place in the family.
Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment before finally snorting. "If you want me to acknowledge him, we'll have to see whether his Martial Soul is the Six-Winged Angel!"
With that, he swept his sleeves and left.
But the Second Worship was smiling now. He hurriedly winked at Qian Renxue and said, "Don't worry. That old stubborn mule has halfway acknowledged him."
Qian Renxue smiled and nodded too.
How could she not have heard the change in her grandfather's tone?
The moment Qian Daoliu left, all the worships suddenly seemed like wild horses freed from their reins, running over one after another in delight.
"Quick, quick, quick! Let Third Great-Grandpa have a look!"
"Let Second Great-Grandpa see him first!"
"I was here first!"
Before Qian Renxue could react, the worship grandpas had snatched the baby away.
Lin Luo froze. In the blink of an eye, he was covered in burly men.
Looking is fine, touching is fine, but keep your damn mouths off me!
Lin Luo thought in disgust.
Standing to the side, Qian Renxue watched the heartwarming scene and smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Just then, someone walked over. She turned and saw Bibi Dong.
"Do you really love him?"
She asked in a cold voice.
At first, Qian Renxue did not realize whom Bibi Dong meant, but once she did, she nodded. "Yes."
At that moment, she seemed to glimpse a fleeting trace of envy in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"That's good."
Bibi Dong's voice was still cold. Then she turned and left.
Was she so determined to get rid of this child because he wasn't born to me and someone I loved?
After realizing this, Qian Renxue suddenly called after her, "You can also... take a look at the child."
Bibi Dong stopped and stood there in silence for a moment.
But she still replied, "There's no need."
Qian Renxue watched her departing figure without speaking for a long time.
"Oh, right, Xue'er, have you named the baby yet?"
The Second Worship asked.
He held Lin Luo in his arms-or rather, Lin Luo lay in the crook of his arm.
His burly frame stood in stark contrast to Lin Luo's tiny body.
Qian Renxue nodded. "I have. His name is Lin Luo."
"Oh, so that bastard's surname is Lin!"
Three months later.
"Lin Luo!!!"
A frantic cry suddenly rang out from a room in the Pope's Hall.
Looking at the empty bed, Qian Renxue panicked at once. She clutched her messy golden hair with both hands, utterly bewildered.
Where's that little brat???
She rushed out of the room, shouting Lin Luo's name as she went.
During this time, Qian Renxue had stayed at Spirit Hall, cultivating while looking after the child.
As for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the story was that the crown prince had fallen ill and left the palace to recuperate in a quiet place, and would return once he recovered.
In truth, Qian Renxue wanted to wait until Lin Luo could walk before taking him back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
According to the reports sent at intervals by her spies, no one at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had grown suspicious.
Xue Ye even came by from time to time to ask how the crown prince's recovery was going.
But that aside, Qian Renxue really had been worn out lately.
After all, Lin Luo's existence could not be widely publicized in Spirit Hall, so the task of looking after him fell almost entirely to her as his mother.
Feeding him, changing diapers, bathing him, wiping his poop, coaxing him to sleep... Qian Renxue, who had only just come of age, had practically mastered them all and was extremely practiced.
Now the child had vanished, giving Qian Renxue a terrible headache. He had definitely crawled out on his own again!
That little bastard had already learned how to crawl!
Suddenly, a shadow flashed past behind her. Qian Renxue immediately turned, her beautiful eyes sharp.
You little brat, I can smell your stinky little butt!
