Chapter 5 The Cost of Changing Fate

The cries of the baby continued wave after wave, leaving the two people completely at a loss, their hearts feeling as though they were being squeezed.

Lin Chunju reached out to check and frowned, "She didn't poop or pee either..."

Yue Jiannan was even more clueless and ventured, "Is she hungry?"

"Impossible, your second sister-in-law just fed her."

Seeing that they didn't understand her intent, Yue Qingqing could only try to stretch her hand toward Yue Jiannan.

Yue Jiannan stared at her chubby little paw, troubled, "This girl... she doesn't want me to hold her, does she?"

The response to him was an even louder cry from Yue Qingqing.

With her current cultivation base, she could not change fate without touching the concerned person.

Lin Chunju was out of ideas, "Try holding her."

Yue Jiannan hurriedly took Yue Qingqing in his arms.

The tiny baby was not heavy to hold, but it felt as though he was holding a thousand jun, making Yue Jiannan fearful of making any sudden movements.

His way of holding the child was anything but standard, yet astonishingly, the baby stopped crying.

"Since I was young, children have liked me, look even my older brother's daughter..."

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Yue Qingqing suddenly grab the button on the front of Yue Jiannan's collar.

"What is she doing."

Lin Chunju tried to take the child back, but Yue Qingqing stubbornly refused to let go.

After a tense back and forth, there was a snap.

The button at the very front of Yue Jiannan's collar fell off.

"My goodness, how strong this child is." Yue Jiannan, who didn't have many good clothes, eyed the scene with reddening eyes.

Lin Chunju spoke irritably, "I heard that newborn babies will cling to things and not let go; it's just a button, I'll fix it for you this evening."

Yue Jiannan continued to lament, "I can't even button my collar now, why is this child so stubborn over a button."

"Aren't you supposed to go to the field? Don't waste any more time."

Yue Jiannan was pushed out the door by his own mother, while Yue Qingqing watched as the mist on his body gradually dissipated and turned into a light golden color.

It finally worked!

Lin Chunju, worried that Yue Qingqing might swallow the button, was just about to figure out how to get it out when she saw Yue Qingqing spread her hands open.

The button lay quietly in the baby girl's palm, almost covering half of her small hand.

Having raised several children herself, Lin Chunju naturally knew that young babies often grasp onto things and do not let go.

Yue Qingqing's behavior could only be described as eerie.

Lin Chunju stared at Yue Qingqing for a while, noticing that the infant was severely tired and unconsciously started to blow milk bubbles from her mouth.

"Still so young." Lin Chunju thought she was overthinking it, and after carrying Yue Qingqing around a couple of times, she put her back into Wang Xiaoni's room.

Yue Xiaohu was also lying on the bed, sound asleep. The two babies lay on either side, while Wang Xiaoni looked back and forth between them.

More than two years old, Yue Xingxing was sitting in the courtyard with her grandmother, her head down, staring at some unknown bug, and it took a long time before she raised her head.

The house was quiet, and no one noticed Yue Qingqing quietly opening her eyes.

So tired, too tired.

In her previous life, she had remained in the Qi Refinement Realm because changing fate required a significant cost.

It drained her cultivation base and entangled her with karma.

Unless it was for several elder martial brothers and her master, Yue Qingqing rarely took action.

This time, she had prepared for her spiritual energy to be completely depleted.

After all, the Yue family had treated her well; as the master had said, whether in life or in immortality, the most important thing is to be grateful and repay kindness.

Unexpectedly, after her energy circulated through her meridians, she found that only the temporarily stored spiritual energy in her body had been exhausted.

Thus, her energy plummeted instantly, yet her realm did not fall back to the bottom.

After a while, Yue Qingqing finally understood the key.

The ways of the Heavenly Dao are unpredictable, but every drink and every peck is preordained.

Being a soul from a Different World, its karmic ties should remain in the original world, and now in this unnamed world, her past karmas naturally severed.

Realizing this, Yue Qingqing couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Doesn't this mean that she is now not governed by the laws of the Heavenly Dao and can change fate for others at will?
