Gu Bailu rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. “Who exactly does he take after? No matter how pretentious I am, I’m nowhere near as bad as he is.”
Feng Qingtian pinched her face. “You’re much cuter than he is. He’s an anomaly. It’s not your or my fault.”
Gu Bailu sighed heavily. “I don’t think I’m very much like a mother. Everyone loves their son dearly; I’m the only one who avoids my son.”
Although she avoided him, she would miss him if she didn’t see him for a while.
Feng Qingtian smiled. “That’s perfect, in case he steals my woman.”
Feng Qingtian itched for Gu Bailu to despise their son, so that she would give him more time.
He didn’t want to fall in favor with Gu Bailu now that they had a son.
“You’re even less like a father, getting angry with him over every small thing.”
“He can’t stop talking the moment he opens his mouth. I wonder if he’s the reincarnation of Tang Seng[1].”
Gu Bailu was lost for words. Please don’t let that be the case…
Although the break for the imperial court hadn’t ended, Feng Qingtian still went to the palace to thank the emperor for the imperial edict.
Even though both of them disliked their son’s chatter, Gu Bailu thought carefully about what the crown prince had said. In fact, it wasn’t impossible for her son to ascend the throne with them.
Since her son had such a wish and it didn’t hurt her, then just let him have it.
Even though they didn’t like him, they were definitely a couple who doted on their son.
However, waiting until he could walk before the coronation was still too late. After all, the sooner Feng Qingtian ascended the throne, the better.
The Archfiend and Heavenly Palace Cliff had suffered a huge loss this time. Who knew what bigger scheme they would come up with?
It was best to obtain the identity of a human emperor as soon as possible. They wouldn’t dare be so arrogant then.
By the time Gu Bailu came out of her confinement, the little crown prince could already crawl on the bed by himself. He could even stand up and walk occasionally.
Because he drank dragon bone soup, he grew very quickly. In just a month, he was already about the size of a year-old baby.
It was hilarious to see him stand up and talk to you in such a serious manner.
Su Shenfan and Bu Yaolian loved to tease him, especially Su Shenfan, who would bring over strange and fun things to tease him with.
The little crown prince put his hands on his waist and said righteously, “Don’t treat me like a baby. I’m the son of heaven and earth, the living creature with the highest IQ…”
Then, he would stretch out his short leg and reel in the item.
Su Shenfan laughed every time. “The Son of Heaven and Earth is stealing? Where’s your highest IQ?”
Su Shenfan had brought a glowing stone today. It was called a Specter Stone, which could change color according to a person’s mood.
The little crown prince snorted. “It’s stupid not to want something that has been given. That’s not something that a creature with a high IQ like me would do.”
Su Shenfan clicked his tongue and sighed. “As expected of Gu Bailu’s son. This ‘I do what I want’ attitude of a b*stard is just like her.”
The little crown prince gave the item he stole to his mother. “Mother, take care of it. I’ll play with it at Heavenly Palace Cliff in the future.”
He knew very well that his time in the human world would be a beautiful memory in the future. Once he returned to Heavenly Palace Cliff, he would never be able to return.
Gu Bailu looked down on Su Shenfan. “You know that you can’t beat my son, but you still enjoy it every day.”
