Chapter 3255 Shen Tianyu 655

Master Mao looked into Xianxian’s intelligent eyes, unaware that Dugu Cheng disliked him.

He snorted coldly, "Bullying people!"

He clapped his hands at Xianxian, leaned over, and put on a fawning smile. “Xianxian, my surname is Mao and my given name is Jun. You can call me Lao Mao. I’m sorry I’m late. I was talking to Jing Bai just now.”

Xianxian's little mouth puffed out.

Her big eyes were still fixed on him.

Others might not understand, but Master Mao knew she had taken it to heart.

He reached into his pocket and rummaged around until he pulled out a bright red brocade pouch. He opened it, took out a gleaming gold talisman, waved it at Xianxian, and said, "Xianxian, this is a peace talisman that Old Mao prepared for you. It will protect you until you are eighteen."

He handed the talisman to Shen Tianyu.

He then took a jade gourd the size of a baby's fist from his neck.

The jade gourd had developed a patina from his handling of it. Originally a white seed material with its skin intact, it had become less white after being handled for an unknown period of time, and its surface appeared to be covered with a layer of oil.

He held the jade gourd, intending to hang it around Xianxian's neck.

Dugu Cheng, holding Xianxian, quickly retreated three meters and said, "Give it to Tianyu. I already prepared Xianxian's natal jade a long time ago."

Shen Tianyu, "..."

He has fallen out of favor.

When he was a child, his master always kept him clean and never put anything unclean on him.

This is because they think that if Immortal Mao wears the gourd, it will be dirty; if they let him wear it, it won't be dirty.

Is it laundry detergent?

Master Mao pouted and shouted, "You, Dugu! I cherish this jade gourd like a treasure, wearing it close to my body every day, nurturing it until it's smooth and shiny, and it's even developed a spirit. I wouldn't sell it even if someone offered me ten million, and you actually think it's dirty? You're not much younger than me, I'm an old geezer, but you're not?"

Dugu Cheng is not really.

He was upright and slender, with a clean-shaven face and only wrinkles under his eyes. His fingers were long and fair with clean nails, and his hair was jet black, with only a few white hairs visible unless you looked closely.

People would believe he was in his forties.

Master Mao, however, had white hair and beard, with a drooping beard under his chin. Although he didn't have many wrinkles and was agile, he looked older than Dugu Chengcheng, like someone in his sixties or seventies.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him and no one spoke up for him, Master Mao flung his sleeves and said, "You all wait here, I'll go shave and change my clothes right now!"

He turned and left.

He walked to the door, then turned back.

He grinned and waved to Xianxian with a smile, "Little Xianxian, Lao Mao is going to shave. I'll be back in a bit. Don't forget to recognize me. Lao Mao is quite a handsome old man after shaving."

Xianxian rolled her big eyes upwards.

Master Mao laughed heartily, “Old Mao hasn’t shaved in decades, but today he actually shaved off this beard that he’s been growing for decades for the sake of Little Fairy.”

He didn't say it directly, but he was somewhat reluctant to part with it.

Yuan Jin said, "Grandpa Mao, you don't need to shave. You can carry Senior Dugu when he gets tired of carrying you."

She couldn't afford to offend either of them, and even she didn't know how to balance things.

But Dugu Cheng doesn't look tired at all.

From the moment he entered the house, he held Xianxian tightly and refused to let go.

He raised Shen Tianyu from birth, and he was very good at holding children, even better than a woman.

Seeing that Dugu Cheng refused to give in no matter what, and wouldn't let go, Master Mao Jun snorted and turned to leave.

Gu Aoting sat on a chair in the corner, stroking his chin and laughing heartily, "Even with Master Mao's high level of skill, he suffered a setback. I finally feel at peace!"

He had been trying to hug Xianxian, but Dugu Cheng wouldn't let him.

I'm afraid he'll hurt Xianxian.

Shen Tianyu said in a deep voice, "Don't gloat, old man. Your difficulties this year are inseparable from the help of Master Mao Jun."

Gu Aoting's eyelids drooped.

Humans are greedy.

He said he was content just to see Xianxian born, but now he wants to watch her grow up, see Shi Shi get pregnant, see Qin Xiao and Qin Heng get married, and even establish a successor for the group...

It was exactly midnight.

Jing Bai was finally born.

The crying was loud and clear.

The sound echoed throughout the delivery room.

Shen Tianyu, who was next door, naturally heard it.

His handsome, thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. This child sounded strong and energetic, but with such a powerful voice, he shouldn't have been born at exactly midnight.

Seeing the big, skinny baby boy the midwife brought out, Jing Hong cried.

He wiped away his own tears with one hand and helped Bai Chenxue wipe her sweat with the other.

The strong, masculine man choked up as he said, "Xuexue, you've had a tough time. This brat is so difficult to deal with. It took him so long to be born. He could have just come out on his own in a few minutes, but he made you suffer for so long."

Bai Chenxue was born with a weak constitution, and no matter how much she took care of herself, she was always a little worse than Yuan Jinzhi.

He was so tired that his face turned pale.

She gave Jing Hong a weak smile. "Don't talk nonsense. Who can give birth in just three to five minutes? I had a normal labor. Every woman has to go through this. I'm not much more tired than anyone else."

"You are great." Jing Hong turned to look at little Jing Bai and scolded, "You brat, if you ever dare to make your mother angry, I'll be the first to hit you."

Xiao Jingbai's eyes were originally open and closed.

Whether she understood Jing Hong's words or it was just a coincidence, she closed both her eyes.

Jing Hong got even angrier and yelled, "You brat, instead of thanking your mother, you're giving me attitude?"

Bai Chenxue had a headache.

Before he was born, Jing Hong was extremely fond of him, constantly calling him "Jing Bai" and acting like a loving father and filial son.

Now that Jing Bai has been born, he seems to have become a different person, turning against Jing Bai.

The happiest person was none other than Master Mao.

He carefully took Jing Bai from the doctor's hands.

Before he could even savor the sight, he picked up Jing Bai and headed for the door.

The doctor hurriedly stopped him: "Old Taoist priest, the baby has just been born and is too delicate. He cannot go out now. Let's wait a day or two."

Only then did Master Mao give up.

He held Xiao Jingbai affectionately, cooing and teasing him with a beaming smile, "My dear great-grandson, how did you grow up to be so handsome? Xianxian will definitely like you when she sees you. When you and Xianxian grow up a bit, your great-grandfather will teach you martial arts and train you to become world-class masters, okay?"

Xiao Jingbai slowly opened her closed eyes and grinned at him.

Master Mao chuckled a few times, then turned to Jing's parents, Bai Chenshu, Jing Hua, and the others, shouting, "Look! Look! Little Jing Bai is smiling, and his smile is so beautiful!"

Everyone gathered around to watch.

Master Mao then said to the doctor, "Comrade, could we move Xiao Jingbai's birth time forward by one minute?"

The doctor asked, puzzled, "Old Taoist priest, is there any explanation for this?"

Master Mao said, "It must be on the same day and month as the fairy next door, otherwise I'm afraid that girl will look down on me when she grows up."

The doctor had some doubts.

Isn't it said that Taoist priests are detached from worldly affairs?

Why are even Taoist priests arranging marriages for children?

Master Mao made repeated requests, and also asked to help the doctor's family with their feng shui, before he finally pushed the time forward by one minute.

Shen Tianyu heard everything clearly from next door.

They even calculate the time of birth.

This family is full of cunning, from the old to the young, without exception—except for Jing Hua.
