Deducing Godhood from the Fetal Stage

Chapter 103 Can Decent Living Put Food on the Table?

I thought about it all night.

In the end, Jiang Yun still felt that tangible attribute entries were much more appealing than those vague and ethereal superficial ones.

If you're too concerned about saving face, you'll end up with nothing. Wouldn't that make you like the King of Gotham?

So, the next morning, his biological mother, Ling Jiu, unbuttoned her clothes and softly called to him, "A-Yun, come here, Mommy will feed you."

Jiang Yun twisted her little bottom and broke free from her embrace. Her chubby little hands accurately grabbed Jiang Ren's arm, who was holding Hao Jiajia and feeding her. She plunged her head over, skillfully took the other end into her mouth, and began to suck it in fiercely.

Seeing this, Jiang Ren, who was feeding Hao Jiajia, was stunned, and Ling Jiu's hand froze in mid-air.

She paused for two seconds, then burst into laughter, covering her mouth and shaking with mirth: "Ah Ren, look at that! Who was it that complained about Auntie's milk and refused to drink it? It's only been a few days, and now they can't live without you!"

Jiang Ren's face flushed red, both amused and annoyed. She reached out and gently poked Jiang Yun's round cheeks: "Who says it isn't true? This little guy is developing too fast, and his appetite is growing too. He has to make me drink for two hours every day, without fail."

Hao Jia was pushed aside by her cousin, and with her other cheek, she grumbled in dissatisfaction, waving her little fist in the air as if protesting that her territory had been taken away.

Jiang Yun ignored him completely, not even lifting an eyelid, her entire focus was on vigorously sucking her aunt's breast.

However, he didn't dwell on it for two hours. He planned to take a sip for an hour before trying his mother's nourishment.

When it comes to attributes, what's the point of saving face?

"Alright, alright." Ling Jiu shook her head, unable to hide the smile in her eyes. She bent down and hugged the thrashing Hao Jiajia into her arms, coaxing her softly, "I haven't breastfed for two months, and this little ungrateful one is disgusted with me. Jiajia, be good, come and taste your aunt's milk, it's just as sweet."

Hao Jiajia blinked her big eyes, showing no sign of disgust, and took it in her mouth, sucking it in vigorously.

For a moment, the two children each occupied a corner of the living room, eating heartily, while the two young mothers looked at each other and smiled, creating a heartwarming scene.

After breakfast, Jiang Ren was playing with her two children on the sofa when her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister Jiu! Look how fast A-Yun has grown! All her old clothes no longer fit, they're all too tight."

She pinched the mark on Jiang Yun's cuff. "How about we go to the Starry Sky Plaza on the Imperial Star today? We can get the kids some new outfits. You've been in seclusion for so long, you should go out and relax."

Ling Jiu was wiping Jiang Yun's mouth when she heard this and was slightly taken aback. She had hardly left the house since she came out of seclusion, and the mention of it made her feel a little excited.

"That's fine." She nodded, a smile curving her lips. "Children should see the world, they're always cooped up in this courtyard."

"Then it's settled!" Jiang Ren slapped his thigh, his eyebrows dancing with excitement. "The children's clothing section at Starry Sky Plaza is full of top-notch handmade items, from spirit-patterned protective gear to temperature-regulating spirit materials—the selection is complete! We'll make sure our A-Yun and Jia-Jia look like two little dumplings!"

Jiang Yun: "————"

He listened expressionlessly, but inwardly he was wailing.

How long do women usually spend shopping?

I'm the main character, so I won't be forced to change his clothes hundreds of times, will I?

No!

Inside the Starry Sky Mall in the capital, the lights are dazzling.

The floating spirit-patterned signboard slowly rotated in mid-air, and various children's clothes shimmered softly in the constant-temperature shop window. Amidst the elegant attire and graceful figures of the people coming and going, it was all the grandeur of the noble families in the capital of the imperial star.

The children's clothing section was even more adorned with flowers.

Jiang Ren held Jiang Yun in his arms, gesturing to each piece on him and exclaiming, "This one is good! It's embroidered with a galaxy!"

"The tattoo matches Ah Yun's glasses! Hey, this one looks good too; with that little cape, he looks like a little general!"

Jiang Yun was tossed and turned over and over, her little face almost buried in the mountain of clothes.

He was internally ranting and raving.

What a terrible design, with a fluffy hood and a round, chubby tail.

Is this for humans or pets?

And that onesie printed with cartoon mythical creatures—when an old man like him wore it, it was practically a scene of social death.

But on his face, he could only blink his big, dark eyes in cooperation, and occasionally reach out his little hand to grab the fabric, which caused the sales assistants around him to exclaim in surprise.

"Oh my god, this baby is so adorable!"

"Her eyes seem to speak volumes; she's destined to be a heartthrob."

Jiang Yun: "————"

Thank you, it's already numb.

Ling Jiu, who was picking at the objects, was amused and laughed. She relaxed completely, and the melancholy that had been lingering in her eyes after her seclusion dissipated somewhat.

"Ah-Yun, try this one on."

She picked up a moon-white long robe, its fabric lustrous and embroidered with subtle star trails, unusually elegant and understated.

This one is alright.

Jiang Yun nodded and obediently let herself be carried into the fitting room.

In the afternoon, the three of them found a restaurant by the window for lunch.

Inside the private room, the lighting was soft, and the table was laden with delicacies.

Lingjiu and Jiang Ren ate and chatted idly.

Jiang Yun was placed in a high chair with a small bowl of children's nutritious porridge in front of her.

He didn't touch the spoon, his eyes slightly vacant.

He quietly activated the combined power of [Seed of Fate] and [Mother and Child Connected Hearts], using the invisible bond connecting him to his mother to probe into Ling Jiu's spiritual consciousness.

In the next instant, a completely new world unfolded in his mind.

-

The spiritual consciousness of the Hidden Spirit Realm extends outward like water, as dense as a net, revealing every blade of grass and every breath within a radius of three hundred meters.

Jiang Yun's heart trembled violently.

This isn't martial arts! This is clearly the technique of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a fantasy novel! Flying through the air, controlling the five elements, and projecting divine sense.

He, an infant who hadn't even completed his Body Tempering, actually managed to indirectly reach the threshold of the Hidden Spirit Realm through this "umbilical cord"!

It's incredibly popular.

He silently gave credit to the "mother and child's bond" once again.

He didn't touch the spoon, his eyes slightly vacant, his mind silently calculating the follow-up improvement plan for the [Abundance] attribute.

Just then, the terminal on Jiang Ren's wrist suddenly vibrated and projected a light screen.

She had only glanced at it casually, but her expression changed instantly.

"Oh my god!"

Jiang Ren gasped in surprise, dropping his chopsticks onto the table.

"Sister Jiu, look!"

Ling Jiu was startled and leaned over.

The screen displayed a news alert from Dixing, with the title highlighted in bold red font.

The Ghost Mother's Spirit-Eating Incident Continues to Escalate; Dai Ziqing, the younger sister of the Emperor Star's Number One Genius, Falls into a Deep Coma While Performing a Purification Mission.

Ling Jiu's breath hitched.

Jiang Yun also raised her head, as the light fell on the screen.

Dai Ziqing?

He remembered the name.

The girl with an SS-level life spirit who was previously at the testing center.

"How could this happen—"

Jiang Ren muttered to herself, her fingers rapidly swiping across the screen, her expression growing increasingly grim. "Sister Jiu, let me tell you, this isn't as simple as it seems!"

"I heard that Director Qiu of the testing center was so angry a few days ago that he threw a tantrum in his office and started cursing while talking to someone on the phone!"

He said this "ghost mother devouring spirits" wasn't a natural disaster at all, but a man-made one!
