#4 - Ji, Xue, Jue, the origin of the name!
Chapter 4: Ji, Xue, Jue – The Origin of Their Names!
Under the expectant gaze of Qian Renxue and Qian Xunji, father and son,
Qian Daoliu gently pinched his granddaughter's cheek.
Smiling, he said, "Since she's so fair, let's name her 'Xue' (Snow)."
Then, he looked at his excited grandson.
Complacently, he said, "Since he's so exceptional, let's name him 'Jue' (Unrivaled)."
"..."
Qian Renjue was indeed a little happy to share the same name as his previous life.
But he really didn't like this naming method.
"Awoo!"
He couldn't help but let out two mournful cries.
He dejectedly rolled into Qian Renxue's arms, seeking comfort.
"Eeya~"
Qian Renxue, who couldn't speak yet, couldn't help but smile.
While giggling softly, she gently patted and comforted Qian Renjue.
Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly beside them.
The anxiety in his heart completely dissipated.
He couldn't help but complain, "Dad, aren't you being a little too casual with the names?"
"Hmm?"
Qian Daoliu raised his head, his loving gaze shifting slightly.
"Where's the casualness? Or should I take your name as a reference?"
Hearing this,
Qian Xunji's breathing hitched, and he quickly waved his hands.
"Forget it, forget it. Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue are also very good names."
Qian Daoliu ignored his rebellious son.
He had already fallen into reminiscence.
Muttering to himself.
"Back then..."
"Dad, please don't talk!"
Qian Xunji wanted to stop him, but Qian Daoliu was in the mood.
He had to speak his mind.
His gaze, full of fatherly love, fell on Qian Xunji.
He sighed and said:
"Back when you were just born, you hastily sprayed a big mouthful all over my face..."
"Dad!"
Qian Xunji covered his face, ultimately unable to stop him.
"That's why I gave you the name 'Ji' (Hasty)."
Qian Daoliu gently patted his rebellious son's shoulder with emotion.
"Ahwa~ Eeya~"
Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue giggled happily, looking at Qian Xunji.
Their grandfather's naming ability... was too cool!
"I can't talk to you!"
Qian Xunji, who had been in a high position for a long time, couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this story.
He irritably shook off his serious old father.
He turned to leave.
"Forget it, I'll go back and see Dong'er... then go to the Papal Hall to handle some affairs."
"Heh."
Watching Qian Xunji's departing figure,
Qian Daoliu chuckled softly, casually pulled over a chair, and sat down.
Looking at the two children in the cradle.
He sighed helplessly.
"May the ancestors forgive Ji'er's mistakes for the sake of Qian family having successors."
"Wahaha~"
Seeing Qian Daoliu's worried expression, Qian Renxue and her brother each grabbed one of Qian Daoliu's fingers.
They laughed lightly and innocently.
The worry on Qian Daoliu's face quickly dissipated.
Now,
he, this old guy, finally didn't have to lecture that useless big guy.
He had plenty of time to teach these two siblings.
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully transmitted great love for the first time! (Target: Qian Daoliu)]
[Reward: Innate Soul Power increased by two levels!]
Not long after,
a knock sounded on the door.
"Big Brother..."
"Come in, all of you."
As Qian Daoliu's voice fell,
the door opened, and the Golden Crocodile and several other Enshrined Elders entered in single file.
They all congratulated Qian Daoliu.
"Big Brother, congratulations, the Qian family has successors, we old fellows finally have hope!"
"This vast family business can finally have a place to settle down."
"..."
After a simple congratulation,
came the cruel process of playing with the babies.
"Ayi~!"
Qian Renxue couldn't stand their enthusiasm and cried loudly.
And Qian Renjue, who had been like dead wood for so long,
was unusually enjoying the liveliness at this moment.
Qian Renjue knew that these Enshrined Elders were definitely on the level of loving grandfathers to him.
They were also extremely loyal to the Qian family.
They wouldn't even frown if they had to self-destruct for it.
"Second Brother, quickly, quickly, give me Little Xue to hold, let me see..."
Guang Ling Douluo looked at the one in his hand, thinking about the one in the pot, and couldn't help but urge Golden Crocodile Douluo.
The Lion King Douluo, with empty hands, couldn't help but fight for it.
"Guang Ling, why are you in such a hurry? You already have one in your hand, why are you still anxious? Quick... let me stroke Little Jue in your hand a few times first."
"..."
The arrival of two new lives.
brought a different kind of vitality to the quiet and aging Enshrined Hall.
The young Qian Renjue, with the enthusiastic clamor of the grandfathers in his ears, constantly heard the system's broadcast in his mind.
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully transmitted great love for the first time! (Target: Golden Crocodile Douluo)]
[Reward: Innate Soul Power increased by one level!]
...
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully transmitted great love for the first time! (Target: Lion King Douluo)]
[Reward: 400 points!]
[Warm reminder: Five hundred points can be exchanged for a mysterious treasure chest!]
...
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully transmitted great love for the first time! (Target: Guang Ling Douluo)]
[Reward: 250 points!]
[............]
The newborn child.
couldn't stand such a lively scene.
Soon, Qian Renjue hugged his own sister Qian Renxue and fell into a dream.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and others were also taken away by Qian Daoliu.
When Qian Renjue woke up, it was already night.
Qian Renxue beside him had long been woken up by hunger and was being held in Qian Xunji's arms.
He was carefully feeding her with a bottle.
Seeing his brother wake up, Qian Renxue waved at him.
Qian Renjue hadn't figured out the situation yet.
He was picked up by Qian Daoliu, who had been waiting for a long time.
He put the bottle in his mouth.
Munch munch
Qian Renjue didn't refuse anyone; he was really hungry.
Looking at this father-son combination acting as parents, Qian Renjue couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Qian Daoliu looked at the good grandson in his arms; he was a little ugly, but compared to his son beside him, he was pleasing to the eye by more than a star or two.
Compared to the two,
he couldn't help but scold Qian Xunji again:
"You wicked thing!"
"Dad, keep your voice down, don't scare the children."
Qian Xunji was already used to this and reminded him, waiting for the following.
Looking at the child, Qian Daoliu's tone softened slightly:
"What are you planning to do with her? Are you still going to imprison her?"
Qian Xunji shook his head.
"Of course not."
"..."
Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue were quietly drinking their milk.
As newborns.
they couldn't manage such things even if they wanted to.
...
Lying back in the cradle.
Qian Renjue hugged Qian Renxue, found a comfortable position.
He began to sort out the rewards given by the system.
First, he opened the mysterious treasure chest that his old man dropped.
As the old man, open the box separately to show respect.
As Qian Renjue's thoughts moved, a panel appeared in his mind, and the broadcast sounded.
[Ding! Treasure chest is opening]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the reward: Infinite Pacifier!]
[Warm reminder: This is not an ordinary pacifier, it is a pacifier that is more suitable for the baby's physique and can infinitely suck out milk!]
"..."
Qian Renjue couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Could this be love from Dad?
It's simply so considerate that it makes you cry!
[Ding! System space has been opened for the host!]
[Space has infinite capacity, time is stopped within, and living things cannot be stored.]
Temporarily ignoring the love from the old man.
Qian Renjue exchanged all the points he had earned during the day for treasure chests.
No more, no less, just enough to exchange for three treasure chests.
[Ding! Treasure chest is opening]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the reward: A walnut crushed by the door, two levels of innate soul power, and an old book!]
[Walnut crushed by the door: oddly shaped, seemingly implying a certain host's experience, is healing]
[Old book: Miscellaneous Talks of the Ocean World, involving local customs, products, climate...]
"Awa!"
Qian Renjue couldn't bear it any longer and cried out as if he had discovered something dirty.
It was bad enough that he had bad luck.
But what the heck was this 'walnut crushed by the door'?!
It was too vicious!
Qian Renxue, who was resting with her eyes closed, was startled by the sudden sound.
Looking at her brother's head.
That crooked and cracked date that was kicked by her and crushed by the door.
She couldn't stop feeling sorry for him, gently hugged him, and stroked that little head.
Qian Renjue also seemed to have found a sustenance.
He tightly embraced the baby beside him.
I wish you all a happy life!
