Under the expectant gazes of Qian Renjue and his father, Qian Xunji.
Qian Daoliu gently pinched his granddaughter's cheek.
Smiling, he said, "She's so fair, let's use the character 'Xue' (snow)."
Then, he turned to his excited grandson.
Satisfied, he declared, "He's so outstanding, let's use the character 'Jue' (absolute)."
"..."
It made Qian Renjue happy that he shared a name with his previous life.
But he really didn't like this naming style.
"Awoo!"
He couldn't help but let out two mournful howls.
Feeling dejected, he rolled into Qian Renxue's arms, seeking comfort.
"Eee-yah～"
Qian Renxue, who couldn't yet speak, couldn't help but giggle.
She made some crisp laughter while gently patting and comforting Qian Renjue.
Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly on the side.
The weight on his heart finally lifted.
He couldn't help but complain, "Dad, you were too casual with the names, weren't you?"
"Hmm?"
Qian Daoliu looked up, his loving gaze shifting slightly.
"What's casual about them? Should I take a cue from you?"
Upon hearing this.
Qian Xunji's breath hitched, and he quickly waved his hands.
"Forget it, forget it. Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue are quite good."
Qian Daoliu didn't pay his rebellious son any mind.
He was already lost in memories.
He muttered to himself.
"Back in the day..."
"Dad, don't talk!"
Qian Xunji really wanted to stop him, but Qian Daoliu was in the mood.
He had to get it out.
His gaze, full of paternal love, landed on Qian Xunji.
Sighing, he said, "Back when you were born, you rushed to pee on my face."
"Dad!"
Qian Xunji covered his face, but couldn't stop him.
"That's why I gave you the character 'Ji' (疾 - meaning 'illness' or 'disease')."
Qian Daoliu, filled with emotion, gently patted his son's shoulder.
"Aw, yaa～ee yaa"
Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue, the sister and brother, watched Qian Xunji and burst into happy laughter.
Their grandfather's naming skills... were too cool!
"I have nothing to say to you!"
Having been in a high position for so long, Qian Xunji couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard about the past.
He impatiently brushed off his stern old father and turned to leave.
"Forget it, I'll go see Dong'er, then go to the Papal Palace to handle some matters."
"Heh."
Watching Qian Xunji's departing back, Qian Daoliu let out a slight chuckle, casually pulling over a chair and sitting down.
He looked at the two children in the cradle.
Sighing helplessly, he said, "I implore our ancestor to forgive Xunji's mistakes, considering the importance of the Qian family's descendants."
"Wahahaha～"
Seeing Qian Daoliu's troubled expression, Qian Renxue and her brother each grabbed his fingers.
They let out light, innocent laughter.
The worry on Qian Daoliu's face quickly vanished.
Now, this old man finally didn't have to lecture that useless big brother anymore.
He had plenty of time to guide these two siblings.
[Congratulations to the host, the first transmission of great love has been successful! (Target: Qian Daoliu)]
[Reward received: Two levels of Innate Soul Power!]
Not long after.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Big Brother."
"Come in."
As Qian Daoliu spoke.
The door opened, and Golden Crocodile and several other Worship Hall elders entered one after another.
Everyone congratulated Qian Daoliu.
"Big Brother, congratulations! The Qian family has an heir, and we old fellows have something to look forward to!"
"This great family fortune will have someone to inherit it."
"..."
After the simple congratulations.
Came the cruel baby-handling session.
"Aah-yee!"
Qian Renxue couldn't stand their enthusiasm and wailed.
And Qian Renjue, who had turned into a withered tree for a long time.
He was unusually enjoying the current liveliness.
Qian Renjue knew that these Worship Hall elders treated him like their own grandpa.
They were also absolutely loyal to the Qian family.
They wouldn't even bat an eye if they had to self-destruct for them.
"Second Brother, quick, quick, give me Xiaoxue to hold, let me have a look."
Guangling Douluo looked at the one in his hands, thinking about the one in the cradle, and couldn't help but urge Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Mighty Lion Douluo, with empty hands, couldn't help but try to snatch.
"What's your rush, Guangling? You already have one in your hands, why are you in such a hurry? Quick, let me rub Xiaojue on your hands for a bit first."
"..."
The arrival of two new lives.
Brought a different kind of vitality to the Worship Hall, which was filled with a sense of twilight.
The young Qian Renjue, heard the enthusiastic noise of his grandfathers, but in his mind, the System's broadcast kept ringing out.
[Congratulations to the host, the first transmission of great love has been successful! (Target: Golden Crocodile Douluo)] [Reward obtained: Innate Soul Power level one!]
[Congratulations to the host, the first transmission of great love has been successful! (Target: Mighty Lion Douluo)]
[Obtained reward: 400 points!]
[Friendly reminder: 500 points can be exchanged for a mysterious treasure chest!]
[Congratulations to the host, the first transmission of great love was successful! (Target: Guangling Douluo)]
[Obtained reward: 250 points!]
[...]
A child who had just been born.
He really couldn't handle such a lively scene.
Soon, Qian Renjue, holding his elder sister Qian Renxue, drifted off to sleep.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were also taken away by Qian Daoliu.
When Qian Renjue woke up, it was already evening.
His elder sister, Qian Renxue, had woken up from hunger and was being held by Qian Xunji.
He was carefully feeding her with a baby bottle.
Seeing her younger brother wake up, Qian Renxue waved at him.
Qian Renjue hadn't figured out what was going on.
He was picked up by Qian Daoliu, who had been waiting nearby.
Holding the baby bottle, she put it to his mouth.
Munch munch.
Qian Renjue didn't refuse; he was genuinely hungry.
Watching this father-son duo, Qian Renjue couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Qian Daoliu looked at his well-behaved grandson in his arms. He's a bit ugly, but compared to his son beside him, he's much more pleasing to the eye.
Comparing the two...
He couldn't help but scold Qian Xunji, "You wretched thing!"
"Dad, lower your voice, don't scare the child."
Qian Xunji was already used to this and just reminded him, waiting for what came next.
Looking at the child, Qian Daoliu's tone softened slightly.
"What are you planning to do with her? Are you going to keep her imprisoned?"
Qian Xunji shook his head.
"Of course not."
"..."
Listening to the conversation between father and son, both Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue quietly drank their milk.
They had just been born.
They couldn't manage such matters.
He lay back in the cradle again.
Qian Renjue held Qian Renxue, finding a comfortable position.
He began to sort through the rewards the System had given him.
First, he opened the mysterious treasure chest his old man had dropped.
As the old man, he opened the chest separately, as a sign of respect.
As Qian Renjue's thoughts moved, a panel appeared in his mind, and an announcement rang out.
[Ding! Treasure chest opening]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Infinite Pacifier!]
[Friendly reminder: This is not an ordinary pacifier; it is a pacifier more suitable for babies' physiques, capable of infinitely sucking out milk!]
"..."
Qian Renjue couldn't help but be a little dazed.
Could this be the love from his father? It's so considerate, it almost makes him cry!
[Ding! System space has been opened for the host!]
[Infinite space capacity, time is stopped within, cannot store living creatures.]
Ignoring the love from his old man for now.
Qian Renjue exchanged all the points he earned today for treasure chests.
Not much, not little, just enough to exchange for three treasure chests.
[Ding! Treasure chest opening] [Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards: a walnut crushed by a door, Innate Soul Power level two, and a tattered ancient book!] [Walnut crushed by a door: Oddly shaped, seemingly alluding to a certain host's experience, currently healing] [Tattered ancient book: Miscellaneous talks on the ocean world, involving customs, products, and climate.]
"Ugh!"
Qian Renjue couldn't bear it any longer, shouting as if he'd found something dirty.
It's fine that his luck was bad.
But what the hell is a "nut crushed by a door"?!
That's just too mean!
Qian Renxue, who was resting with her eyes closed, was startled by the sudden voice.
Looking at her younger brother's head...
That misshapen mess that she had kicked and the door had crushed.
She couldn't help but feel heartache, gently hugging him and stroking his little head.
Qian Renjue also seemed to have found a haven.
He and the baby next to him held each other tightly.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
