Deducing Godhood from the Fetal Stage

Chapter 107 Worry about the country

A woman in her thirties rushed over in a flurry of activity. She was tall and had a hot figure. She was wearing a crop top and shorts, and her hair was casually tied in a ponytail, which swung back and forth as she ran.

"Tang Xun, where have you run off to again? I only went to the bathroom and you've vanished! Are you asking for it?!"

"6

She ran and cursed as she rushed over and scooped the boy up from the grass.

"you--

'

Then she saw Jiang Yun in the stroller.

The sound stopped abruptly.

The woman quickly scanned the scene:

A clean-looking little baby was sitting in the stroller, and her son, with grass stuck to his bottom, was sitting next to her, holding what was clearly someone else's toy in his hand.

Her experienced intuition immediately led her to a judgment.

"Tang Xun! Did you steal another kid's toy again?!"

66

Tang Xun shrank his neck.

"explain!

'

"No—I didn't steal it—" Tang Xun's voice was childish, but his pronunciation was quite clear. "Look—"

"Look? When have you ever said 'look'? Last time you took that little girl's lollipop at the supermarket, you said 'look' too!"

'

The woman freed one hand and gently patted Tang Xun on the back of the head, then turned to Jiang Yun, her anger instantly turning into a fawning smile.

"Little one, I'm sorry, this is my naughty son. Did he scare you?"

Jiang Yun blinked her big eyes, hugged the screaming duck, and shook her head with a bewildered and innocent look. "I borrowed it from him."

"Oh my, this little guy is really handsome."

.

The woman complimented Jiang Yun, her gaze lingering on his face for a second longer. She then casually asked Jiang Ren, who had already walked over, "Is this your child? He's two or three years old, right?"

'

Jiang Ren was about to speak when Ling Jiu stepped forward and smiled, "Yes, she's still young. Thank you for your concern."

She didn't say her exact age, and didn't respond.

There's absolutely no need to flaunt Ah Yun's innate Dao body and life soul, as well as her rapid development.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. We're the ones who should be apologizing."

The woman tucked Tang Xun under her arm and pulled him out while turning back to say, "This kid has always been mischievous; he can't stay still anywhere. I have to keep an eye on him."

Tang Xun was trapped between them, kicking his short legs back and forth, and turned his head to look at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yunchong gave him a thumbs-up, making a gesture that roughly meant, "Don't steal next time, let's play together if you want."

Tang Xun chuckled and mimicked the thumbs-up gesture, before his mother dragged him away.

The woman's phone rang before she had taken ten steps.

She answered the call with one hand, while still holding Tang Xun with the other, her voice suddenly rising an octave, "What did you say? Send Ah Xun? Are you crazy?!"

A man's muffled voice came from the other end of the phone; it was hard to hear clearly, but his tone was somewhat irritable.

The woman stood under the osmanthus tree, making no attempt to hide the people around her, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"Help me deal with the Ghost Mother? So what? The Empire has gone to the Great Wilderness Demon Clan for help, and those guys from the Golden Lion Clan are acting all high and mighty. What's wrong with me bringing Ah Xun here? Even in a humble position, I dare not forget my duty to the nation!"

"Ah Xun understands, and he's willing. But what about you? Tell me, what can you do to help?"

'

The woman on the other end of the phone seemed even more agitated, and she walked further and further away. However, Jiang Yun, through her mother's spiritual sense, overheard a bit of what she said. She explained, "How could we possibly be inferior to the demon race? It's just that Director Qiu couldn't bear to see our human genius get hurt."

The person on the phone was saying, "What do you mean by 'though lowly in rank, I dare not forget my duty to the country'? I think you're still hung up on your first love who went to the Imperial Star."

Things like that.

"You think I'm like you?" the woman sneered. "Even if Ah Xun is young, he at least knows how to serve his country—"

6

She paused for a moment, then turned her lips down.

"But you, you've used all the money in your hands to help those homeless young ladies. You're such a grown-up!"

.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Stop playing dead with me!" The woman switched Tang Xun's arms and held him down with her other arm. "I'll deal with you when we get back!"

66

*Click*, the call ended.

Jiang Ren held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help it and whispered to Ling Jiu, "This older sister is so fierce—"

'

Lingjiu gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to say anything.

After hanging up the phone, the woman turned around angrily. She saw Ling Jiu and Jiang Ren still standing there, paused for a moment, and then walked over confidently.

"I'm sorry, it was just some housework. Please excuse the poor quality."

She plopped down on the lawn and put Tang Xun down. "My name is Zhang Rui, I'm from the Blue Planet, and this is my son, Tang Xun."

6

"Hello, my name is Lin Jiu."

Ling Jiu smiled.

Hello, hello.

Zhang Rui rubbed her hands together, her eyes still tinged with the lingering anger from their earlier argument. "My little guy is nine months old, but he looks like he's two, right? He's developing fast, hehe."

When she said "hehe," the pride on her face was impossible to hide.

It's grown this big in just nine months and can even burrow and crawl in the void. What mother wouldn't be proud of such a talent?

Jiang Ren couldn't help but glance at Tang Xun a few more times, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Nine months? I really can't tell."

6

"Absolutely! They eat a lot and grow fast, like they're being blown up like balloons."

Zhang Rui patted Tang Xun's head, "He's just too naughty, always stealing people's things."

She glanced at Jiang Yun and asked, "How old is yours? It looks like it's two or three years old, but it's a whole size older than my Xun, right?"

"6

Ling Jiu smiled but didn't respond: "Kids grow up so fast."

6

Zhang Rui didn't press further. She was a very easygoing person, and when she chatted, she revealed most of her family's secrets in less than three sentences.

It's basically saying that her husband is unreliable, an alcoholic and gambler, and she has to support the family on her own. Fortunately, her son is promising and has been rated as having a good talent level by the testing center, which finally gives her hope.

"Director Qiu is a really nice person. Our family isn't well off. As for Azure Star, well, anyway, both Ah Xun and I have improved our lives a lot thanks to the national subsidies from the Azure Testing Center. I even got a promotion and was able to afford a loan to buy a house in a better school district."

Zhang Rui sighed.

"Right now, the Ghost Mother's Devouring Spirits are causing quite a stir. I was thinking that if I could contribute to the country, that would be nice, but—"

Don't be fooled by my verbal abuse of my husband; deep down, I'm also having my own doubts.

6

Despite her lingering doubts, her words on the phone, "Though I am of humble status, I dare not forget my duty to the country; Ah Xun is willing to do this," were spoken with unwavering conviction.

Jiang Yun leaned against the stroller and went through all the information one by one.

Qiu Mian was searching everywhere for people, and the Great Wilderness Demon Clan became arrogant because of this incident.

Dai Ziqing was only three years old, yet she dared to take action for the country.

Now even the alien Tang Xun family has come over.

Though my position is humble, I dare not forget my duty to the nation.

Zhang Rui's words swirled in his mind twice.

He looked down at the Transformer in his hand, his thumb rubbing back and forth on the joints of the mecha.

Zhang Rui was still chatting enthusiastically with Jiang Ren, with Ling Jiu occasionally chiming in, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Tang Xun leaned closer to the stroller, tilted his head to look at Jiang Yun, and poked his arm with a finger.

Jiang Yun didn't move.

Tang Xun poked it again.

"Friends?" Tang Xun uttered a single word in a childish voice.

Jiang Yun glanced at him.

Although the kid's ability to travel through the void was still quite rudimentary, his talent was undeniable. When he was pulled out of the void, he didn't cry or make a fuss; instead, he willingly handed over his toy and admitted defeat.

This kind of temperament is not something a nine-month-old baby should have.

He stretched out his little fist and bumped it with Tang Xun's.

"friend."

Tang Xun grinned, revealing four tiny teeth, and plopped down next to Jiang Yun, starting to fidget with the Transformer's arm.

This time he didn't steal; he played openly and honestly.

Jiang Yun didn't stop him and silently picked up the tablet.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tang Xun holding the Transformer above his head, making "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds, having a great time.

A nine-month-old genius.

He comes from an ordinary family and his father is unreliable.

Yet he was willing to fight the Demon Mother for the Empire.

Jiang Chong looked away and stared at the coupling equation of the five elements on the tablet. His thumb remained on the screen for a long time without moving.

Zhang Rui's voice came from above, saying something like, "Let's go out for a walk with the kids together later."

Ling Jiu didn't reply, quietly flipping through her book.

But her fingers, which were turning the page, stopped again.

Jiang Yun looked up and met her mother's gaze.

Ling Jiu smiled slightly at him, but said nothing.
