He's a Piece of My Own Flesh!

"Goo~ goo~"

Lin Luo, now a little baby, really wanted to say something.

After all, this was the first time the "reborn God King" and the "girl who had become pregnant by accident" had truly met.

Qian Renxue had long wanted to see what the little bastard she kept thinking about actually looked like.

Lin Luo likewise wanted to see whether the girl who liked to say one thing and mean another, scolding her child while deciding to protect him with her life, really was as beautiful as the rumors claimed.

Now, he could finally give a definite answer.

She really was very, very beautiful.

Even the most exquisite words seemed utterly inadequate before that face.

Lin Luo finally understood why everyone in the original story had been stunned when Qian Renxue first appeared.

With looks like hers, how could they not have been?

He gripped her slender, fair finger tightly and communicated with Qian Renxue through his eyes.

He thought Qian Renxue should be able to tell he was greeting her.

After all, the two had spent so long together, day and night, that they understood each other a little.

The next moment, Qian Renxue smiled, just as he had expected.

She understood.

There was no ulterior purpose or impurity in that smile, only pure love.

In a weak voice, Qian Renxue chided him, "This is all your fault. I'll probably have to sever ties with Grandpa this time."

"Why are you looking at me? Yes, I'm talking about you, you little~ bas~ tard~"

"Causing trouble the moment you were born, aren't you~ aren't you~"

"Still looking at me? Don't you recognize me? Keep staring, and I'll smack you~"

She scolded him gently, her voice light and sweet, a smile playing on her lips the whole time.

"Gonna poke your nose~"

Qian Renxue carefully poked Lin Luo's nose, then quickly withdrew her hand, afraid she might damage it.

Growing up pampered and privileged, she had played with her share of dolls. Now look at her: she had given birth to a real one, so she had to be careful not to break him.

Could you be any more childish... lady?

They're about to start fighting outside, and you're still playing?

Lin Luo voiced his objections, but the words that reached his lips could only turn into-

"Goo~"

"Goo~"

Hearing the cute sounds the little one made, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

"Hehehe... Little brat, acting cute won't work on me~"

At that moment, she finally understood what Granny Jones had meant by "the music of heaven."

Before long, though, Qian Renxue's expression grew more serious.

Clearly, the situation left her no more time to "catch up" with the little bastard.

She carefully tucked Lin Luo's arms into his swaddling clothes, then sat up and held him in her arms, looking toward the door like a wary fawn.

She was very weak, and for now she could only rely on her teammates in the Baby Plan.

Fifth Grandpa, do your best.

Outside the door.

She Long, Pufferfish, and Ling Yuan stood back-to-back, watching the other elders approach with great vigilance.

Light Feather Douluo, meanwhile, faced the six offerings directly ahead of him alone. They were also the six brothers with whom he spent his days and nights.

Guang Ling frowned. "Big Brother, can't he have even one chance to live?!"

Qian Daoliu's face was as cold as ice. "No."

"Fifth Brother, I'm truly disappointed in you this time."

Light Feather Douluo sneered. "Big Brother, the feeling's mutual. I'm very disappointed in you too."

"Fifth Brother!"

Azure Luan Douluo shouted angrily, "What did you say?! At your age, stop acting like a child! Dismiss your Martial Soul at once!"

Guang Ling retorted, "Does being old give you the right to do something so wicked?"

"You!!"

The six offerings on the other side were so furious they ground their teeth.

Qian Daoliu's face grew even more forbidding.

After all, they were all old men, among the strongest people on the continent, yet here they were, about to kill a newborn child. It really was rather wicked.

Because they didn't want to cause too much of a commotion, none of the elders used their Soul Skills.

At Bibi Dong's command, the three elders were quickly subdued and pinned to the ground by four other elders.

Pufferfish, She Long, and Ling Yuan had their hands and feet bound. They didn't even dare use their Soul Power to break free, afraid they would level everything within ten meters.

After all, the people they had to protect were still in the building behind them.

"Damn it, I'm suddenly starting to regret joining this 'Baby Plan' of yours! Can I quit now?"

Bound like a pig and lying face-down on the ground, Ling Yuan couldn't help complaining.

She Long said, "Sister Ling Yuan, don't switch sides at a time like this?!"

"Switch my ass! Look how rough these guys are. You can tell at a glance they're settling personal grudges!"

Ling Yuan raised her head and glared at Yue Guan and Gui Mei. The two exchanged a glance, then grinned at her misfortune.

Light Feather Douluo looked back and couldn't help cursing inwardly. What a bunch of pig teammates. They've already been taken down.

There was no helping it. He could only rely on himself.

And at that moment, Qian Daoliu finally decided to act.

He walked forward, and with a single step, Soul Power fluctuations as vast as an abyss and as oppressive as a prison shook the surrounding buildings, sending roof tiles and gravel tumbling down.

Guang Ling frowned. He knew he couldn't possibly defeat his big brother.

Was he going to break the promise he had made Xiao Xue?

"No!!"

With a furious shout, Guang Ling fired an arrow, but Qian Daoliu raised a hand and shattered the incoming arrow of light.

He closed his five fingers, and his surging Soul Power was as boundless as a black hole. Guang Ling's body was helplessly pulled toward him, and a palm strike met his chest.

"Pfft!"

Guang Ling spat blood and collapsed to the ground.

In the gap between a Peerless Douluo and a Super Douluo, every level was like an impassable chasm.

And several such chasms lay between Guang Ling and Qian Daoliu. There was simply no comparing their strength.

But the next moment, Qian Daoliu, who had been about to continue forward, stopped.

Because.

Someone else was standing in his way.

It was none other than the Second Worship.

Qian Daoliu frowned and looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo in some surprise. "Second Brother, you...?"

But as soon as the words left his mouth.

The Third Offering, Fourth Offering, Fifth Offering, Sixth Offering, and Seventh Offering all walked over.

They stood in a row with the Second Worship, blocking the way like a solid fortress.

Their expressions were grave, and their faces seemed to hold complicated emotions they couldn't put into words.

Golden Crocodile couldn't help saying, "Big Brother, your decision is right, but I'm sorry. Our hearts ache for Xue'er. She isn't just your granddaughter alone..."

Inside the room.

Hearing those words, Qian Renxue hugged the swaddled baby as tears flowed silently down her face.

So her grandpas had always loved her.

Qian Daoliu could bear it no longer. He raged, "Do you think my heart doesn't ache for her?"

"She's my own granddaughter, the flesh of my heart!"

Suddenly, the door was kicked open with force.

Qian Renxue appeared in the doorway.

"He's the flesh of my heart too!!!"

The girl's counter rang out, resolute and forceful!

Qian Renxue tightened her arms around the swaddled baby. Tears slid down her cheeks, and though her voice was choked with sobs, it was full of stubborn determination. "He's... a piece of my own flesh..."

"I."

"Qian Renxue."

"Will not let anyone hurt my child."

She clenched her teeth.

"No one can even think about it. Not a single one of you."

Qian Renxue fixed a fierce gaze on Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the elders who were steadily approaching.

She was like a lioness on the verge of a desperate struggle to the death.

Qian Daoliu stood frozen.

It was as though he were seeing this side of his granddaughter for the first time.

"If she won't hand him over, take him! What are you standing there for?! He must die today!"

Bibi Dong glared at the elders.

At that critical moment, a mechanical system voice suddenly sounded in Lin Luo's mind.
