Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 5: Mother and Son
--- Chapter 5 ---
Three months later, we could see Yunlong lying on the baby's crib while his reddish-black eyes stared at the ceiling.
'It's been three months...' Yunlong thought while shifted his gaze to Bibi Dongxue, who is calmly sat on a chair while reading a book.
'Well, life as a baby is surprisingly good...' He added in his heart as he doesn't have to anything in these six months and only enjoys his time with his mother.
Yunlong closed his eyes before opened them again while trying to move his body.
'Even though life as a baby is good, I can't move freely because of this small body!' Yunlong stated as he tried to flip his body upside down.
'Let's start.' He thought while staring at the wooden poles, which are the wall of the crib.
Yunlong is struggling to move his body for a good few seconds until he's finally able to move his body and grab the wooden poles with his baby's hand.
"Hmm... He's trying to climb the crib again." Bibi Dong muttered while takes a peek at her son with an amused smile on her face.
Yunlong is trying to lift his body, but he could feel his leg is like jelly.
'Weak...' Yunlong thought as he's finally able to stand on the crib while using the wooden poles as the handles.
'That's my son, and he's so cute...' Bibi Dongxue commented with a satisfied smile, even though she can see Yunlong's leg start to trembling.
'Uugh, I can't hold it anymore.' Yunlong thought as he falls into a soft cushion.
'Ahh... It will take a long time.' He added in his heart while he released a sigh.
"Hmm, after Yunlong becomes a few years older and could talk, I will start to teach him to read..." Bibi Dongxue smiled while enjoying her tea.
--- One year and a half later ---
In a bedroom, we could see Yunlong is lying on the bed, and he's sleeping soundlessly as his mother entered the room.
"Good morning, Yunlong." Bibi Dongxue said while staring at her son, who had grown a lot in this one year and a half.
In only one year and three months after he was born, Yunlong can walk and talk like any toddler, which shocked her a little. But after thinking about her son's abnormality, it doesn't startle her again if he does something astounding.
Well, he somehow able to read in only one month after she taught him about letters, words, and calligraphy.
As for the next six months, two of them keep enjoying their life as a mother and a son, which is excellent for both of them.
Overall, Yunlong is already comfortable with his new life, which is great compared to two of his last reincarnations.
Bibi Dongxue is also very happy with her life, even though she is only a clone, but her mother's love for Yunlong is endless, and will not lose to any mother in this world.
'I don't need that man anymore, as long I have Yunlong on my side. I can live happily.' Bibi Dongxue thought since she's already erasing the presence of that man from her life.
"Mother..." Yunlong muttered as he opened his eyes and saw Bibi Dongxue calmly staring at him with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Yunlong... I missed it when you called me Mama." Bibi Dong responded with a sigh, which makes Yunlong staring at her with a wry smile.
"I'm already big, mother," Yunlong stated, which makes Bibi Dongxue laughed before shaking her head.
"I just miss it." She replied while patting her son's head, "Well, I don't have a problem for you to call that, though."
"Mother!" Yunlong responded while intensely staring at her.
"Hahaha... I would be waiting in the kitchen." Bibi Dongxue walked away from the room, but he could still hear her chuckles across the corridor.
"I know that she's my mother, but..." Yunlong muttered while staring at the door, but then he sighed before shifted his gaze to the window.
"Whatever," he added while closing his eyes.
'Neo, open my status.' Yunlong thought as a virtual black screen appeared in front of him.
[Opening status...]
[...]
[Name: Yunlong(Fourth Life), 3+]
[Age: 2 years old]
[Title: Reincarnator]
[Martial Soul: not yet awakened]
[Innate Skills: Sharingan, White Light Grace, Mortal Sin: Gluttony]
[Skills: Basic Breathing(Advanced), Throwing Art(Basic) ]
[Practiced: Basic Breathing Technique, Basic Throwing Technique]
[System Points: 42.000 Sp]
"Well, even though not much. It's still an improvement." Yunlong commented while looking at his status, which is not that great, but he's still had an improvement.
In these two years, he only gets two quests, the first quest to make his mother shocked while the other one learned how to read in one month.
It was easy as he successfully finished both of the quests without using too many efforts, and he got two techniques from the quests' rewards.
These techniques are beneficial because both of them are very useful to him.
The breathing technique increases the capacity of his lungs while also strengthening them. As for throwing art makes him able to increase his accuracy.
He also got 42.000 Sp, which he never used because Yunlong doesn't know what kind of thing he should fuse.
Yunlong's shaking his head before lifting his body from the bed and walked toward the kitchen.
"Two years have passed since I was born into this world," Yunlong muttered while his eyes are wandering around the room.
"In these years, my life is very delightful..." He added in his heart with a smile on his face.
He then remembered when his mother taught him how to read, which is not that hard.
Well, he not only taught how to read by his mother, but he also taught about this world by Bibi Dongxue.
Bibi Dongxue's giving him a book about spirit beasts as a reward when he successfully learned how to read. It's a spirit beast encyclopedia to increase his knowledge.
As he walked into the kitchen, he can see Bibi Dongxue waiting at the dining table with a cup of tea in her left hand.
"Good morning, mother..." Yunlong said before sat on a chair beside his mother.
"Well, these books are your birthday gifts." Bibi Dongxue suddenly said while putting two books on the table.
"Ah, right. Today is my birthday." Yunlong muttered, which makes his mother chuckled.
"You can check your birthday gifts later, now eat your breakfast first." Bibi Dongxue instructed, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.
"Thanks, Mother," Yunlong responded with a smile before giving his mother a light peck on her cheeks.
Yunlong then eats his breakfast while Bibi Dongxue dazed for a few seconds.
'Yeah, I don't need that man anymore. I already had Yunlong on my side.' Bibi Dongxue thought while smiling happily in her heart.
