Ten years later, Li Zimu is now ten years old.
‘Curses, if only time passed that fast.’
Today, Li Zimu is officially ten months old.
And he finally leaves his room for the first time since birth, to visit the.. Dining room.
His furthest journey so far resulted in him being downstairs, where he currently is, sitting on the table looking at the feast before him. Yet in his bowl was only milk. Various types of beast milk.
Today was a celebration for his tenth month. In these ten months, he has been practising every day. Babbling and crawling around his giant room.
A month ago, he finally managed to take his first step. As a result… His parent’s loving flirting worsened as they spoiled him even more and increased his beast milk intake.
On another note, his cultivation has increased to Channel Opening lv 6 with 69 Meridians currently open.
“Ah, my adorable wife, I missed you!”
His biggest gain is his increase in speed when his Basic Cultivation Method leveled up to-
“Hehe, my handsome hubby, I missed you too!”
Leveled up to 4, which increases the amount of experience required by a whopping amount.
“What are you talking about? You’re the prettiest woman in the world! Which lucky man does this beauty belong to?”
“You of course, darling.”
Li Zimu’s expression seemed to turn a few shades darker as veins popped up on his plump little face.
Desperately, he looked around for a distraction from the disgustingly sweet couple beside him. His ears will rot if this keeps up.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Turning his head, he noticed even the loyal old Bai’s expression was a little unnatural. The servants around also had their face twitch slightly as they averted their eyes.
The people in this room shared one thought.
‘‘‘If only ears could be turned off…’’’
From the corner of his eye, Li Zimu noticed a little head poking out behind old Bai.
A little girl, 4-5 years old, was looking at him with curiosity. Noticing his stare, she yelped in surprise and hid behind old Bai like a frightened little bunny.
Seeing this, old Bai chuckled and brought her over.
“Young master, this here is my granddaughter, Li Yun (meaning cloud), I wanted her to be as free as the clouds. But here she is, stuck with me. Her parents passed away tragically two years ago. I hope you’ll take care of her in the future, you two can be playmates and train together.”
‘Grandpa bai, I’m barely a toddler. I didn’t need to know the whole story, I was just curious. Stop trying to set me up with your granddaughter, ok?
There’s still time in the future when I’m supposed to understand human speech please.’
Turning back to his milk, Li Zimu could only hear the sounds of his parents beside him.
The annoyance and rage bottled up inside him after ten months of this torture finally erupted and he, a previously grown man, threw his first tantrum.
… and spoke his first word.
“Sdaopfu!” (stop)
“““....”””
Silence. Everyone stopped moving as if time was frozen and stared at him.
‘Oops’
Just as Li Zimu was worrying whether it was inappropriate or something, the suffocating awkward silence finally broke.
First came his mother’s sloppy wet kisses.
“Kyaaaaa my baby said his first words!”
Then his father’s embarrassed face with his emotions written all over his forehead in bold. I want to hug him but I’m embarrassed. I don’t want to break my image of a manly man.
‘Bro, you were flirting so damn hard a minute ago and now you know embarrassment?!’
Then Grandpa Bai brought out a crystal ball and started cursing about something recording and unexpected moment.
‘Don’t try so hard to record my first word! I know you got my first step on record!’
The servants eventually unfroze too and Li Zimu could hear all sorts of gossip and whispers.
“Damn I bet he would say mama as his first world.”
“Haha, you lost. You owe me ten gold!”
“Hey you bet on papa! You lose too!”
‘No, don’t gamble on me! I’m not your entertainment!’
With all the rebutting firing of in his head, his facial expression still remained the same. Snuggling up to his mother, Li Zimu acted tired with a little pout.
Seeing this adorable reaction, Lan Zhenya (mother) pulled him out of his baby chair and started to carry him back upstairs.
Li Zimu, enjoying the snuggle suddenly stiffened.
‘Fuck Grandpa Bai, why are you bringing her up too?’
