Chapter 6, Finally Born

Ling Tian sincerely felt that his grandmother was being somewhat unreasonable. He had just been born, and she had forcibly stretched his head using a technique to elongate it. To be able to see his father's likeness on his own face at this moment would truly be like seeing a ghost!

Ling Tian inwardly lamented the loss; with this guy's acting skills, if he had been born in the world of his previous life, he would undoubtedly be the prime candidate for the Oscar Golden Award. This guy is simply too... adept at pretending!

Before long, Ling Tian felt himself enveloped in an exceptionally warm and comfortable embrace, the scent within it being one he found profoundly familiar and endearing; upon entering this embrace, Ling Tian inexplicably experienced a sense of happiness... a feeling of reliance, as if within this embrace, no matter how fierce the storms outside, he would remain untouched...

The news of the safe delivery of the young mistress of the Ling family spread rapidly. A group of anxious men, who had been pacing back and forth in the main hall, could no longer contain their impatience and rushed in. Leading the way was a man towering at nearly 1.9 meters, with a square face and a pair of straight, sword-like eyebrows. Judging by his appearance, he was undoubtedly a person of high status and authority. However, the man, who should have exuded an air of dignity and nobility, now wore a face full of urgency, sorrow, and affection. Upon entering the delivery room, he rushed to the bedside of the young mother without regard for anyone else, calling out anxiously, "Ting'er, are you alright, Ting'er?"

He lay before Ling Tian, and others could not detect the true emotions hidden deep within his eyes. However, when he lowered his head to face only Ling Tian, the hatred in his gaze towards this newborn infant was completely unmasked. From Ling Tian's perspective, he could clearly see a flash of cold light in this guy's eyes, which unmistakably revealed an extreme sense of frustration and a profound intent to kill

"The old fool is going crazy again, making such a loud noise that it scared my grandson. What should I do? Oh dear, with your clumsy hands, how can you hold the child? Give him to me, quickly; yes, my dear grandson, come to Grandma for a hug, hehe, look how handsome my grandson is, with that little nose and those little eyes, he looks just like his father..." Next to her, a kind-faced elderly woman snatched Ling Tian and held him in her arms as if he were her precious treasure. "Give him to me, quickly; yes, my dear grandson, come to Grandma for a hug, hehe, look how handsome my grandson is, with that little nose and those little eyes, he looks just like his father..." Next to her, a kind-faced elderly woman snatched Ling Tian and held him in her arms as if he were her precious treasure.

Ling Tian, upon hearing this voice, could already vividly imagine an old man with a face smeared with his own saliva and mucus, laughing uncontrollably. Moreover, Ling Tian could guarantee that there would be absolutely no deviation from this image

Impressive! This elderly couple is truly remarkable! ... They were able to discern so many similarities with their own son from the face of a newborn baby whose features have yet to fully develop ... It is truly ... ... ... admirable ...

In the delivery room, the midwife wiped the sweat from her forehead and, looking at the baby she had just delivered, couldn't help but gasp: My goodness, this little one is so big! So heavy! Just look at this weight; it must be at least 10 pounds, right?

"Where is it? Where is it? Aunt, why does this child have such wrinkled skin? He looks like an old man. I can't see any resemblance to my elder brother..." A voice that sounds extremely irritating.

The cacophony of voices continued to rise, and Ling Tian was nearly overwhelmed by the incessant chatter of these aunts and relatives. Just as he was contemplating whether to feign a few sobs, a sudden warning signal emerged in his heart, as if a chilling aura of danger was approaching him. Startled, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Alright, alright, haha, I will take my precious grandson over now. Sigh, this girl has worked hard, raising such a big chubby boy; I really don't know how her frail body has managed. Is the nourishing soup from the kitchen ready? Have them send it over quickly to help Ting'er regain her strength," the elderly woman said kindly to the librarian.

Whether in a past life or this life, adding up to more than twenty-six years, such completely carefree and unreserved sleep, without a trace of worry, is, for Ling Tian, a first experience!

Then, countless dark heads of people appeared one after another before Ling Tian, each person examining him as if he were a rare treasure, turning around like a revolving lantern.

Wrapped tightly in a swaddling blanket, Ling Tian slowly awoke, and fresh air suddenly filled his mouth and nose. He felt a tickle in his nostrils and couldn't help but let out a big sneeze. Immediately, he heard a voice laughing and scolding: "This little fellow, when others hold him, nothing happens, but the moment I hold him, he sprays my face with saliva and snot! Haha..." The voice seemed not only devoid of anger but also filled with pride and boastfulness, along with a great sense of satisfaction and contentment. It seemed that being showered with his grandson's saliva and snot was something to be proud of and honored.

Hmm, not bad, not bad. This child looks exactly like his father, Ling Xiao. It's obvious they are father and son. I, as an old man, can tell without a close look that this must be a descendant of the old Ling family! Hahaha..." As soon as these words were spoken, I heard my grandmother snort softly, holding me and starting to sway, gently keeping a rhythm with her mouth.

The young man spoke a few words, then lifted his head, leaving Ling Tian's side to continue engaging in enthusiastic conversations with others. Occasionally, he would make a harmless joke, remarkably adjusting the atmosphere in the venue to a very harmonious state in a short period of time. It seems that this fellow has quite a good rapport within the family, and he also possesses a certain degree of affability

Ling Tian seemed to feel that he had exhausted all his strength, nearly collapsing; his mother let out a series of hoarse and desperate screams. The mother and son worked together, and finally, after one last arduous struggle, Ling Tian felt that he had drained the last bit of his energy. He finally heard a surprised loud voice shouting: "It's out... the child is out... my goodness... so big..." Immediately after, Ling Tian felt a wave of relief wash over him, and his only thought was: my goodness, it has finally been born! Really. He heard the surprised loud voice shout again: "It's out... the child is out... my goodness... so big..." Immediately after, Ling Tian felt a wave of relief wash over him, and his only thought was: my goodness, it has finally been born! Really... so tired! ... Then he lost all consciousness... and fell into a deep sleep...

Ling Tian knew that this embrace would only belong to one person, and that was his mother. Ling Tian inexplicably entered this world directly from the road to the Yellow Springs, carrying the memories of his past life. He initially thought that entering the body of this small infant with the soul of a twenty-five-year-old high-ranking youth would surely make him feel awkward and uncomfortable when facing his mother.

"Don't cry, my dear, Mother is here. Don't be afraid, Mother will protect you." Ling Tian's body gently swayed in his mother's embrace, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of ease and tranquility rising from the depths of his heart. A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and Ling Tian let out a big yawn, comfortably closing his eyes and drifting off to sweet sleep

In Ling Tian's heart, he had firmly remembered his appearance! This person was undoubtedly the first target that needed to be eliminated! Having someone like this around was far too dangerous for himself and the others in his family

However, it seems that this voice did not finish speaking; only a crack was heard, followed by a cry of pain. The old woman's voice scolded, "Get out of the way, you little monkey, can't you say something nice!"

As I slowly opened my eyes, an old face appeared before me, with faint wrinkles at the hairline and corners of the eyes, and gray hair. At this moment, it was smiling at me, with eyes almost completely closed, and the corners of its mouth nearly reaching the roots of its ears

Look at this little hand, so strong; when it grows up, it will surely become a great general! Another instance of excessive flattery and embellishment.

Ling Tian was almost about to laugh out loud, thinking to himself, I am not laughing because I see you happy; it is truly that your smile is exactly as I imagined, it is really too... lewd, my grandfather from this world.

Ling Tian let out a cold laugh in his heart, thinking to himself, how dare you show your murderous intent in front of me? I have grown up and will not let you off easily! Perhaps an ordinary infant would not detect the malice you have hidden so well, but I am different. My previous life was spent entirely in the shadows for twenty-five years, just like you. Playing deep schemes in front of me is akin to reciting the Hundred Family Surnames in front of Confucius, brandishing a broadsword in front of Guan Gong, selling large axes in front of Lu Ban, or peddling five-needle pine in front of Du Kang.

Alas, what do you know, girl? Look at this nose, these eyebrows, these eyes, tsk tsk tsk... It’s as if they were peeled off your elder brother's face. Old man, don’t you agree?

With a heart full of lingering fears, I looked at my young mother, still weak and unconscious on the bed. Her frail and delicate body, along with her beautiful face, made me unable to refrain from reciting a prayer. Such a large infant, such a frail mother... how could both mother and child be safe and sound, born without incident? Truly... may heaven bless us...! Amitabha!

Indeed, indeed, look at these eyes, how expressive they are. Here comes another one

A maid approached and said, "Esteemed matron, the young mistress has awakened and wishes to see the child"

... ... ''

"Fourth brother is right, Auntie. Oh dear, Auntie, look at this little fellow's head, it's so flat and long. How unattractive..." A young girl's voice, tinged with a hint of playful innocence.

In that moment, Ling Tian's dazed spirit seemed to return to a past life, back to the fleetingly joyful childhood spent with his mother. Suddenly, Ling Tian felt a pang in his nose, and tears involuntarily filled his eyes

Ah, the young master is truly handsome... A family member is talking with a mouthful of food.

Exactly the same as the image he had imagined in his heart, laughing like a fool! Ling Tian felt a surge of disdain in his heart and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face

This person is dangerous! Ling Tian's vigilance heightened significantly

The woman before him bore an unmistakable weariness, with strands of hair clinging to her cheeks, dampened by sweat. Yet, in Ling Tian's eyes, everything appeared so beautiful, and his heart was filled with gratitude for his mother. In that moment, Ling Tian made a resolute decision in his heart: he absolutely could not allow this woman to experience even the slightest sorrow because of him. No matter who it was, no one could harm this woman! Because she is my mother, Ling Tian!

However, when Ling Tian opened his eyes and saw this beautiful woman with an exquisite face and a gentle smile, as well as the unreservedly indulgent expression she wore while looking at him, he could not help but feel a deep sense of affection rising from the depths of his heart

A young man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, appeared before me, his face beaming with smiles. He approached me and spoke incessantly with words of praise, seemingly filled with genuine joy. Both his tone of voice and his gestures were so harmonious and natural, brimming with sincere emotions and heartfelt congratulations.

... ...

Wow haha ... look, he smiled, my grandson smiled, hahaha, truly my grandson, he smiles as soon as he sees his grandfather ... wow hahaha ..." The old man laughed again, saliva splattering everywhere. Most of it landed on Ling Tian's face, leaving Ling Tian speechless: you can laugh, but do you have to rain for free?

Not at all, just look at the wisdom reflected in his eyes. The young master will surely grow up to be a great talent, at the very least he could become a prime minister... This is even more impressive, I was still with my eyes closed, yet she could tell that my eyes were filled with wisdom.
