When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 798 - 317 Whose Child_2

"This piece of icy jade isn’t a love poem, is it?" Li Xiu read the characters on it word by word.

As he read, a peculiar expression appeared on Li Xiu’s face.

It wasn’t a love poem at all, but a list of names, listing thirteen people in total, including Wu Xinglie and Zhang Ping.

Li Xiu suspected that the thirteen people on the list might all be from the City of Love.

Because earlier, when Jiang Linglan asked him about people from the City of Love, she asked exactly about thirteen people, which likely wasn’t just a coincidence.

"If I get the chance to go to the City of Love again, I can take this jade with me to ask Old Man Wu and the others what this list means. This shouldn’t be an ordinary piece of jade, I wonder if it can be taken into the Trial Gate." Li Xiu put away the piece of icy jade and placed the rough jade stone on the table.

Taking out the Food Knife, Li Xiu planned to peel off the rough stone to see what kind of jade was inside.

A hint of golden light appeared on the blade of the Food Knife, and Li Xiu peeled off a layer of the stone skin like he was slicing a winter melon.

With just a thin layer peeled off, he immediately saw color inside, and it was an extremely rich red.

"Red Jade!" Li Xiu observed the rich color inside, noting its excellent transparency, much like dyed glass.

Without further hesitation, he continued peeling away the remaining stone skin along the red color, and also removed the misty layer connected to it, revealing a blood-like, vibrant, glassy jade.

Looking at the crystal-clear Blood Jade before him, the hunger in Li Xiu’s stomach intensified. He pricked his finger to drop a bit of blood onto the Blood Jade, and in no time, a bloody glow emanated from it. The Blood Jade, the size of a human head, melted into red liquid and flowed into the wound on his finger.

Soon, a blood-red jade ring appeared on Li Xiu’s thumb, while bizarre information surged into his brain.

Blood Linglong: Evolvable Demon Spirit.

Level: Spirit Casting.

Quality: Radiant.

Super Upper Limit: 100%.

Light Vein: Fifty-eight lines.

Spirit Casting Form: Third Form.

Talent Skills: Blood Evil, Seven Weapons, Exquisite Heart, Celestial Killer Lone Star, Gem Seed.

"A third-form Spirit Casting!" Li Xiu was somewhat surprised.

Gem Demon Spirits on Earth should be at the lowest level when born, yet this Blood Jade appeared in the third form of Spirit Casting, clearly different from Earth’s Demon Spirit Gems.

At Li Xiu’s mental command, Blood Linglong flew from his finger and transformed into a human-like demon spirit before him.

This human-like demon spirit was a bit short, standing about one meter tall, clothed entirely in armor resembling blood crystals, like a child in heavy armor—a bit like a chibi armored warrior.

However, the armor’s design made Blood Linglong appear somewhat sinister, particularly its blood glowing eyes with seven-petal star-shaped pupils.

Unable to test skills in the room, Li Xiu retracted Blood Linglong and planned to test its abilities later in the Land of Trial.

The child sitting on the bed beside them remained quietly, holding a bottle and watching Li Xiu without crying or fussing, unusually well-behaved for a toddler.

Li Xiu thought for a moment, then picked up the toddler and intended to find Sha Chu, asking her to find someone to look after the child until he figured out the child’s origins.

"Commander, although the child’s young, if she doesn’t stay with her parents, she might develop a psychological shadow. You might want to keep her and foster some emotional bonds," Sha Chu suggested after hearing Li Xiu’s words.

"She’s really not my child," Li Xiu said helplessly.

"I understand," Sha Chu nodded. "Rest assured, I won’t tell anyone."

"What do you understand? Stop talking nonsense and find someone to care for her," Li Xiu said, not wanting to explain further.

As he handed the child over to Sha Chu, the child clung to Li Xiu, refusing to let go, with her small hands holding tightly onto his clothes.

Despite her small size, the child’s grip was surprisingly strong, and both of them found it hard to pry her fingers off.

Sha Chu brought some toys and food to coax her, but she ignored them, only clutching tightly to Li Xiu and trying to climb into his arms.

"Commander, as you can see, the father-daughter bond is strong. Maybe you should take care of her, or find her mother to look after her," Sha Chu said with a smile.

"Who knows who her mother is," Li Xiu said, frustrated, holding the child.

Left with no choice, Li Xiu decided to hold her until she fell asleep, planning to have Sha Chu take her away then.

"Brother Xiu, you already have a child?" Li Ming’Er exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Li Xiu holding the child.

"She’s not my child," Li Xiu explained weakly.

Li Ming’Er sighed, "Brother Xiu, don’t worry. Whether or not you introduce her as your child, I’ll love her as my own."

"What is all this? She really isn’t my child," Li Xiu reiterated, explaining the child’s origin.

He trusted Li Ming’Er more, as she was a demon spirit herself with nowhere else to go, so she had to stay with him for the time being.
