Lin Luo's First Gift to Qian Renxue

Lin Luo hadn't expected that releasing his so-called "Second Martial Soul" would stir up such a storm throughout Class One.

As soon as he crawled back into his baby seat, his classmates stared at him in astonishment. Even those who had mocked Hu Liena's team couldn't laugh anymore.

Their homeroom teacher, Mailun, stared at Lin Luo in even greater shock for quite some time.

Su Tanjie had demanded a team that stood out, and now he had it. With student Yi on this team, it stood out like a blazing beacon, all right?!

It would definitely leave His Holiness the Pope astounded.

He was already tempted to select this team for the upcoming exchange meeting right then and there.

The atmosphere in the class was so "tense" that Lin Luo felt uncomfortable staying. He crawled right out of the classroom again, bold as brass, and went to rack up steps on the training ground.

After racking up enough for roughly three sets of ninety draws, he left the academy and went home on his own.

On the way, Lin Luo deliberately used a speed-boost reward to avoid being seen by too many passersby.

As soon as he reached home, he looked up and found the door standing wide open.

Qian Renxue had already brought out a chair and was sitting there facing the entrance, her legs crossed.

Her long, beautiful legs overlapped beneath her skirt. Her face was cold as she gently swung the golden high heel dangling from her toes, offering intermittent glimpses of the alluring curve of her sole's arch.

She seemed to have known all along that Lin Luo would crawl home at this very moment.

She also held a stick as thick as a rolling pin, which she tapped against her palm from time to time. She looked thoroughly intimidating.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lin Luo trembled with fear at the sound, remaining where he was on all fours as he and Qian Renxue stared at each other.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and crawled in the opposite direction!

She's murdering her own child! Run!

"You little brat!"

A furious shout rang out behind him. Before Lin Luo could crawl even a single step, a hand lifted him into the air.

"You slipped away again, didn't you? I've racked my brains and still can't figure out how you got out. Did you fly out the window?"

"Yiya, yiya, yiya!"

Lin Luo struggled desperately, but it was as though Qian Renxue had seized a snake by its vital spot. All he could do was flail his limbs helplessly in midair.

"If I don't teach you a proper lesson today, then my name isn't-"

Before Qian Renxue could finish, she suddenly glanced ahead and hurriedly hid the rolling pin behind her back.

She forced a ladylike smile onto her face.

Ignoring the little fellow's resentful expression, she shifted him from a dangling grip into an embrace and put on a loving air.

Bibi Dong had appeared ahead of them at some point and was walking over with a cold expression.

Without a word, she snatched Lin Luo away and held him in her arms, gently stroking his back with her five slender fingers.

"Grandma!"

"Yes, my good baby. Was Mommy going to hit you again?"

"Yiya!"

Lin Luo pressed against his grandmother's chest and spoke indignantly.

Bibi Dong shot Qian Renxue a glare before saying, "I was just coming over to ask you something when I saw a little one crawling past the entrance of the Pope's Hall. My grandson is so clever. It's not as if he doesn't know how to come home after going out, so why hit him?"

Qian Renxue knitted her delicate brows. "He's lying. I didn't hit him. I haven't hit him once since he was born! This... was just to scare him."

With that, Qian Renxue silently tossed the rolling pin back into the room.

She then looked at Bibi Dong. "What did you want to ask me?"

Bibi Dong said, "Let's talk inside."

Once inside, Qian Renxue poured Bibi Dong a cup of tea, but Bibi Dong kept playing with Lin Luo, who was sitting on her lap, and didn't seem inclined to ask anything.

Qian Renxue stood by and watched. She loved seeing Bibi Dong and Lin Luo together; it felt heartwarming.

After a while, Bibi Dong finally asked, seemingly offhandedly, "What level is your Soul Power?"

Qian Renxue replied, "Level 59."

Bibi Dong nodded gently and, while playing a hand-clapping game with Lin Luo, asked:

"Have you run into any difficulties with your cultivation? If you have, you can tell me. If I can help, I'll do my best. Consider it... consider it doing a favor for my Luo'er. Only when Mommy gets stronger can she protect Luo'er properly, right? Isn't that right?"

As she said this, Bibi Dong smiled and gave Lin Luo's little chin a playful lift.

Hearing words like these come from Bibi Dong's mouth, Qian Renxue found them utterly unfamiliar.

Lin Luo turned to look just then, only to find that his mother's eyes had suddenly reddened.

Qian Renxue hid it well, however. She hurriedly pretended to busy herself pouring a cup of tea, then sat down and held the cup in both hands, draining it in one somewhat flustered gulp.

She smiled and said, "I... I'm actually doing fine. Thank you for your concern... No, not quite. There is a bit of a problem. My Soul Power has been stuck at level 59 for a long time, and I still haven't broken through."

Clearly, Bibi Dong's sudden concern had left Qian Renxue flustered for a moment.

All of a sudden, Lin Luo really wanted to hug his mother, who was somewhat starved for affection.

Bibi Dong said, "I see. Breaking through a major Soul Power level has always been difficult. It's the same for everyone. It took me nearly two years to break through from level 59 to level 60, so there's no need to rush."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded. "That's good to hear... Thank you."

"...You're welcome."

Hearing those words of thanks, Bibi Dong felt a complicated pang as well, but she was better at hiding her emotions than Qian Renxue. Her face remained as calm as ever.

After playing with Lin Luo for a little longer, Bibi Dong reluctantly returned him to Qian Renxue's arms.

She actually wanted to stay a little longer, to remain with this mother and son rather than return to that cold hall.

But she also felt that her presence might make the atmosphere awkward.

After all, Qian Renxue had seemed to fall silent for a long time just now, and neither of them appeared able to find anything to talk about.

Bibi Dong said, "If you have any problems, don't hesitate to come to me. I'll be at the Pope's Hall."

"All right, I will... Luo'er, quickly, say goodbye to Grandma!"

Smiling, Qian Renxue hurriedly picked up Lin Luo's little hand and waved it.

"Bye-bye, Gwandma~"

Lin Luo opened his little mouth.

Bibi Dong nodded and smiled at Lin Luo, then left the room.

Watching her retreating figure, Qian Renxue suddenly wanted to call out "Mom," but by the time she worked up the courage, Bibi Dong was already out of sight.

Even so, Qian Renxue smiled happily.

That afternoon.

After finishing his milk, Lin Luo lay on the bed and began drawing rewards.

Once again, there were three sets of ninety draws: twenty-four limited-time rewards, 243 one-time rewards, and three permanent rewards.

Among the permanent rewards, only one Martial Soul Tag appeared this time as well.

[Martial Soul Tag: Ultimate Ice]

He now had six Martial Soul Tags in total, and this was his third elemental tag.

As for the other two permanent rewards...

One was 3,600 Growth Value points.

The other was [God-Level Forging Technique].

This reward is interesting. Is it for forging weapons?

The Martial Soul Tag [Foremost of the Sword Dao] should mean that my Martial Soul can grant me extraordinarily powerful swordsmanship, not give me a sword.

So, with [God-Level Forging Technique], can I forge a sword of decent quality?

Lin Luo continued looking through the other rewards when one of the limited-time rewards suddenly caught his interest.

He was astonished at once. This limited-time reward was great!

[Limited-time reward: Distance-Ignoring Spatial Teleportation]

[Note: Can teleport to any location in the user's mind, limited to the Douluo Continent. Usable for one month. After each use, it will refresh 24 hours later.]

Doesn't that note mean I can use it thirty times in total?

Lin Luo sat on the bed, looking at Qian Renxue, who was meditating and cultivating.

He thought of the difficulty breaking through that Qian Renxue had mentioned at noon, and a bold idea suddenly came to him.

If I can teleport through space, wouldn't it be great to teleport to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest and pick a few Immortal Herbs for Qian Renxue?

That way, she won't have to wait so painstakingly for a breakthrough.

Lin Luo was a little excited, because this would be his first gift to Qian Renxue.
