Calling Mom for the First Time, Stunning Qian Renxue
But unexpectedly, after Bibi Dong picked the baby up, she did nothing to punish him, though her expression remained cold.
She even thoughtfully raised a hand to gently brush the dust from his knees, glancing at his little hands as she did so.
"So dirty."
Bibi Dong made the comment without a trace of feeling, then looked at Lin Luo's face.
The baby's features were as finely sculpted as a porcelain doll's, making him exceptionally adorable. He had big eyes and a light covering of black hair on his head.
This was the first time Bibi Dong had seen what her grandson looked like since Qian Renxue had given birth to him.
She said nothing, nor did her heart stir. She only thought that the baby looked nothing like Qian Renxue.
Perhaps he resembled his so-called biological father?
Holding the baby in one arm, Bibi Dong walked off in one direction, her expression indifferent.
Just as everyone thought His Holiness the Pope was going to personally throw the baby outside, Bibi Dong went around the crowd and walked straight toward the Pope's Hall!
Wait...
Hadn't this baby barged in from outside?
Why did His Holiness the Pope seem to know the baby, and why was she carrying him back to the Pope's Hall?
Could this baby be His Holiness the Pope's child...
Impossible!
No one had ever heard of His Holiness the Pope having a child. That was something practically the entire continent knew.
It could only be said that Bibi Dong and the baby definitely knew each other.
Heavens, this baby's identity was growing more mysterious by the minute.
The "citywide wet nurse interviews" a few months ago had definitely been for this little fellow!
At this point, that was as good as a nail hammered into a board. There was no doubt about it.
Seeing everyone's gazes follow Bibi Dong in their direction, Qian Renxue and the elders and worshippers standing in the corner immediately hid themselves from view.
Bibi Dong also tactfully refrained from greeting them and carried the child straight into the Pope's Hall.
Silence filled the outer square.
The commotion just now seemed like a case of a family's own baby accidentally running out, only for Bibi Dong, an elder of the family, to personally come and carry him back.
Everyone couldn't help feeling a lingering fear. Fortunately, they had only gathered to watch out of curiosity and hadn't laid a hand on the baby.
Otherwise, who knew what trouble they might have gotten themselves into?
Worried for her baby's safety, Qian Renxue immediately entered the Pope's Hall from the rear.
As soon as she entered, she found the baby sitting on Bibi Dong's lap.
The two, one big and one small, studied each other. But since they weren't familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about, they both remained silent, staring at each other wide-eyed.
The chatterbox baby who usually babbles nonstop in front of me has turned socially anxious in front of his grandmother today?
Qian Renxue thought to herself. The tension in her heart vanished without a trace, and she couldn't help wanting to laugh.
At least she could see that Bibi Dong was no longer hostile toward the baby, her grandson.
"Take him away. Don't let him run around everywhere next time."
After noticing Qian Renxue appear before her, Bibi Dong spoke.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded and stepped forward to take Lin Luo into her arms, giving his little bottom a light smack as punishment.
When she reached the back door, Qian Renxue looked back at Bibi Dong. After some thought, she said, "My son... is called Lin Luo."
Bibi Dong silently repeated the name to herself but gave no response, her expression as cold as ever.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue said nothing more and left with the child in her arms.
And in the moments that followed, Lin Luo knew his disaster had arrived.
"You little rascal, little rascal! How can you be so naughty? What will you be like when you grow up?"
"You're already disobeying Mom when you're this little?"
Qian Renxue scolded Lin Luo as she patted his bottom.
After each pat, she asked, "Does it hurt? Have you learned your lesson?"
Lin Luo wrapped his arms around her slender neck and lay against her shoulder, too lazy to respond.
After all, he couldn't speak.
After carrying Lin Luo back to her room in the Worship Hall, Qian Renxue let out a breath of relief for some reason. Fortunately, they hadn't disturbed Grandpa.
"You little brat, I didn't even get to bathe this morning because of you. I ran out stinking to chase after you."
After putting Lin Luo on the bed, Qian Renxue closed the door and unbuttoned her clothes right in front of him without the slightest reservation.
She was still scolding him and hadn't stopped for a moment. It seemed she really was quite angry.
Her thin nightgown slipped from her body, exposing a perfect, snow-white, luminous figure with all its curves to the air in an instant.
Qian Renxue lifted her long, shapely legs and slipped off her underwear, placing it to one side and leaving every part of her body on display before Lin Luo.
Lin Luo had seen this sort of scene many times before, going from embarrassment at first to being completely accustomed to it now.
Qian Renxue had long since stopped caring. After all, who would mind being naked in front of such a young child?
Besides, he was her own little one.
After taking off her clothes, Qian Renxue sighed and put her hands on her slender waist, looking at the baby helplessly. In the end, still unable to vent her anger, she walked over and gently pinched Lin Luo's cheek with her little hand.
"You're making me furious. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Tell me, what if you'd brought my grandfather over here? How would this have ended today?"
"Yah!"
Lin Luo shook his head.
Qian Renxue frowned. "Now you've got a temper, have you? What's wrong with Mom pinching your cheek?"
Lin Luo ignored her. He only felt a little hungry, so he looked at Qian Renxue's chest.
But she let out a soft huff and immediately covered her chest as she backed away. "As punishment, you can wait until noon to eat!"
With that, she turned and walked toward the bath, swaying her pert bottom.
Tch, noon it is.
Lin Luo lay on his back on the bed and went straight to the lottery.
Crawling nine kilometers had earned him ninety thousand Lottery Points, enough for exactly 180 draws and two permanent rewards.
The large wheel on the system interface began to spin.
Soon, two permanent rewards, sixteen limited-time rewards, and 162 single-use rewards entered Lin Luo's inventory.
After two months, the system would clear out any of those 162 single-use rewards he hadn't used.
But for the sake of the two permanent rewards, Lin Luo still thought it was worth it.
Just as he had imagined, both permanent rewards were Martial Soul Tags.
[Martial Soul Tag: Foremost of the Sword Dao] [Martial Soul Tag: Purify All Things]
One gave a Martial Soul an ability related to the "Foremost of the Sword Dao" tag, while the other gave a Martial Soul the ability to "purify"?
That sounded pretty good.
He had now accumulated four tags, and his progress was rapid.
He went on to check the single-use and limited-time rewards in his inventory, then breathed a sigh of relief.
His luck was good. He had obtained several speed-boosting and stamina-boosting rewards this time as well.
Lin Luo was planning his next Spirit Hall walk.
Before long, Qian Renxue had finished bathing and stepped out of the pool.
Wearing a brand-new dress, she wiped her dripping wet hair, rolled her eyes at Lin Luo, and sat down at the table.
"M... m..."
Hearing the sound, Qian Renxue turned to look. "Don't call. You're not getting any."
Lin Luo knelt on the bed with both little hands braced against its edge, his eyes fixed on Qian Renxue.
His expression showed how hard he was trying. His lips attempted to meet, and at last he uttered the two syllables he had imagined, in a young, childish voice.
"Ma... ma..."
"Clatter!"
At the sound, the comb in Qian Renxue's hand suddenly fell onto the table.
She looked at Lin Luo in disbelief.
