396. Could it be that the one he actually likes is Gu Yuena? [First Update]_1

"He's so cute..."

Qian Renxue finally squeezed into the crowd, lifting her hand to pinch Lan Xuanyu's baby's chubby cheeks, only to remember that the feel of it was just like jelly, tender and breakable upon touch.

Such perfect skin she had only seen on soul beasts, like Gu Yuena, like Bi Ji, Wang Qiu'er... Their skin when they transformed into humans seemed naturally superior to that of humans, and this baby's skin was almost as good as theirs when they were in human form, not to mention he was a baby boy.

Bi Bidong watched quietly from the side, and although she usually appeared rather aloof, she couldn't help but smile at the sight of such an adorable baby, reminding her of Qian Renxue when she was young.

At this moment, aside from Gu Yuena standing alone in her original spot, only the Ice and Snow Emperors remained motionless, the former because she was in a bad mood + hated humans + was a dead tsundere, while the two sisters purely because they cause ice to form wherever they went, and therefore couldn't get too close to humans.

"Sister, I really want to go have a look as well."

Although the Ice Emperor didn't go over, she couldn't contain her curiosity. What kind of cub could attract so much affection from people?

However, the Snow Emperor sternly advised against it, "Don't go, we will freeze a bunch of people to death... Lin Yi will trouble us."

"Alright..."

At that moment, Qian Renxue clapped her hands towards the baby in Bi Ji's arms and asked with an expectant expression, "Let sister... cough, let me hold him, can I?"

Lan Xuanyu glanced at her, blinked his big eyes, and immediately turned his head, burying his cheek into Bi Ji's shoulder.

This scene immediately caused everyone to laugh, and the tense atmosphere of the Shield Breaker moment seemed to have lightened considerably with the arrival of a child.

Qian Renxue poked Lan Xuanyu's cheeks and clapped her hands again, her eyes gleaming as she pleaded for a hug, but Lan Xuanyu was still very attached to Bi Ji and refused to let her hold him.

This made her wonder, "Why won't he let me hold him? Am I scary?"

Di Tian cleared his throat and said with a smile that seemed to see through everything, "It seems this little one only likes to be held by beauties who are as cute and pretty as him."

He never missed an opportunity to compliment Bi Ji.

Qian Renxue: "..."

Do you believe if I change back into women's clothes?

You better not push me.

Just then, she thought of someone and immediately turned to pull Bi Bidong over.

"Come on, she's pretty, let's see if the little one will let her hold him!"

Bi Bidong looked at her speechlessly, reluctant to extend her arms, even though she wanted to hold him; her status didn't allow it.

She was, after all, the dignified and lofty Pope.

Qian Renxue teased with a smirk, "What are you being so aloof for, come on, hold him and see if he will let you."

Bi Bidong glared at her furiously and gritted her teeth, "Do you want to die?"

Qian Renxue sighed.

"Looks like before the Soul Master competition even begins, Martial Soul Hall is already losing to the Aquipeia Forest by one."

Bi Bidong snorted coldly and nodded, "Fine, you're vicious."

She approached Lan Xuanyu, her expression softening a bit, "Come on, let me hold you, can I~"

Lan Xuanyu turned his head to look at her, sized her up for a moment, and stubbornly leaned his head on Bi Ji's shoulder, as if he was stuck to her and didn't want to leave no matter what.

Bi Bidong's face stiffened along with her hands.

Damn it, this is so embarrassing, all because of Qian Renxue!

Tonight, she would definitely cast "Hundred Percent Millennium Kill" on her again, render her unable to get out of bed! Let her scream until her throat was sore with no one to respond!

Watching Bi Bidong's cold gaze as she walked away, Qian Renxue shivered involuntarily.

"What... What should we do with him? Can't just keep holding him, right?"

Bi Ji felt somewhat at a loss and asked, as the little guy had now started "aba aba" gnawing at her shoulder, soaking that part of the clothing with drool.

Zi Ji shook her head, "I don't know, he can't talk... Will he attack?"

Di Tian tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Do you even need to ask? Obviously not, go ahead and hold him, this little guy seems to only like you two."

After saying that, he tentatively reached out to Lan Xuanyu, who was nibbling on Bi Ji's shoulder, wondering if Bi Ji's shoulder was really that delicious? Why was he gnawing so happily?

To Di Tian's surprise, Lan Xuanyu actually looked up and made an effort to grab his hand! It seemed he was willing to let him hold him!

Seeing this, Bi Ji tried to pass the baby to Di Tian, and sure enough, the baby opened his arms and nestled into Di Tian's embrace.

This scene shocked everybody.

Because the baby had just clearly rejected everyone else's attempts to hold him, only allowing these three ferocious beasts to do so, as if he had some inseparable connection with these three.

Di Tian exchanged a puzzled look with Zi Ji and Bi Ji.

They silently made a try.

Having the baby alternately held by Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and Di Tian, the result was, the baby laughed gleefully throughout and didn't resist at all.

Yet when the baby was handed to anyone else besides them three, including Wang Qiu'er, another soul beast, he showed a clear aversion and would even start crying outright.

Why... Di Tian couldn't figure it out.

Who was this child, exactly?

Di Tian, holding the chubby little guy in his arms, suggested, "Let's take him over and see how he reacts to the Lord."

Zi Ji hesitated, "With the Lord's temper, won't he get scared and cry?"

Bi Ji nodded, "The Lord is in a bad mood now～"

Scratching his head, Di Tian looked towards Lin Yi for help, as they didn't know what to do with the little fellow anymore.

Opening the Spatiotemporal Gate had unexpectedly brought out a toothless infant, something none of them had anticipated. In the words of these ferocious beasts, it was like a little cub that had just crawled out of the "Eggshell" not long ago!

However, Lin Yi on the stage didn't respond verbally, instead giving an "epiphany"-like gesture by pointing his finger at Gu Yuena, who was standing far away with a scowl on her face.

Why was the Golden Dragon Lord pointing at the Silver Dragon Lord?

Di Tian pondered Lin Yi's intention with confusion.

"Let's just carry him over and talk about it then."

Di Tian said after some thought, addressing the three of them as Bi Ji. They squeezed through the crowd and headed towards Gu Yuena.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena's face was the picture of speechlessness. They were actually carrying the human cub over again?!

If you like it so much, why don't you birth one yourself?

She maintained her aloofness, withdrawing a bit further away.

The drooling human cub continued to smile dumbly, truly annoying.

Di Tian noticed a change in the baby in his arms.

The baby straightened his neck and fixed his gaze on Gu Yuena's profile.

It was as though an antenna that had been searching for the signal had suddenly found full strength.

Like a long-missing ship that had located its most primal, warm harbor.

Even though that half-profile exuded coldness and a 'keep away' vibe, and her aura was extremely dangerous.

Yet, that very face that made Di Tian and Zi Ji shiver with coldness was causing Lan Xuanyu in Di Tian's arms to excitedly squeal and babble.
