Chapter 31: Maternal Love Physique+1!

"You damn thing, you sure know how to enjoy yourself!"

Wang Ping'an watched the Hei Mao Bu Tou lazily sprawled beside him asleep, soaking up the spiritual qi blessing, drawing in spiritual qi he hadn't attracted into his body, he snorted, a thought flickered, and a wisp of sword qi appeared in his palm.

"Meow!"

Just then, the Hei Mao Bu Tou's fur stood on end, its whole body leapt from the infant bed, its eyes locked on the sword qi in Wang Ping'an's palm, full of wariness.

It seemed to be facing some monstrous flood beast!

"What's going on?"

The sudden shout made Liu Dongzhu, who had been listening to gossip, change expression; she hurriedly rose and looked at the nearby cradle—aside from the Hei Mao Bu Tou's fur standing on end, which was somewhat abnormal, there was nothing else wrong.

Zhang Guihua quickly said, "Dongzhu, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Liu Dongzhu checked thoroughly, found nothing amiss, then sighed in relief and said, "Mom, it's fine!"

Although she said that, after sitting down Liu Dongzhu still couldn't help letting her gaze wander around Wang Ping'an, checking for any danger.

Zhang Guihua also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good that it's nothing."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"

Wang Ping'an never expected that merely releasing a wisp of sword qi from his body would frighten the Hei Mao Bu Tou like this, showing how terrifying sword qi is; he desperately used Beast Taming to soothe the fur‑standing Hei Mao Bu Tou.

After the Hei Mao Bu Tou's fur gradually settled, he prepared to send that wisp of sword qi from his hand into its body, but as his palm neared, the formerly docile Hei Mao Bu Tou's fur stood on end again.

He could only continue using Beast Taming to calm it!

After a long while, the Hei Mao Bu Tou finally calmed down again, and Wang Ping'an immediately sent that wisp of sword qi from his hand into its body.

"Meow!"

The Hei Mao Bu Tou's fur stood on end again, and it leapt straight from the cradle to a height of two or three meters.

The sudden change once again drew the gaze of the idly chatting crowd.

This time not only Liu Dongzhu but even Zhang Guihua rose from her chair.

Liu Dongzhu panicked, "What's wrong, what's wrong, Ping'an, are you alright?"

While speaking, Liu Dongzhu swiftly scooped Wang Ping'an from the cradle, examined him carefully, found nothing wrong, then breathed a sigh of relief, her face full of doubt.

Zhang Guihua puzzled, "Dongzhu, what's going on, how can this spirit cat keep jumping about?"

"I say, Guihua, maybe your cat is in heat!"

Saying this, Zhang Pozi paused, as if she'd thought of something good, her eyes full of undisguised delight, she eagerly said, "I happen to have a female cat at home; shall I bring it over?"

"No need……"

Before Zhang Guihua could finish speaking, Zhang Pozi sprang up from her chair, hurried out of the hall, couldn't help shaking her head and said, "This Zhang Jie, she's really scheming, even calculating something like this!"

She could roughly guess what Zhang Pozi was thinking.

"Zhang Jie, how did you leave so quickly, and in such a hurry—is there something urgent?"

Wang Lin finished his work outside, came in, and asked.

Zhang Guihua said, "She's going back to fetch her family's female cat!"

"What's the point of going back to fetch her family's female cat?"

Wang Lin looked bewildered. "Otherwise it's because our spirit cat is in heat!"

Zhang Guihua chuckled, then recounted everything that had just happened in detail.

Not long after, having heard the gist, Wang Lin frowned slightly and guessed, "Could it be that Ping'an is hungry, randomly grabbing the spirit cat, making it keep jumping?"

"Impossible, you know what Ping'an is like in our family!"

Zhang Guihua looked at Wang Ping'an held in Liu Dongzhu's arms, her old face full of kindness, and said, "Normally he's quiet and well‑behaved, never noisy; if he's hungry he just cries loudly, he doesn't go grabbing things at random!"

"Mom, why don't I first feed Ping'an some milk to see if he's hungry?"

Liu Dongzhu said.

"Whether or not our Ping'an is hungry, drinking more milk is a good thing—being able to eat is a blessing!"

Wang Lin gave a hehe laugh and said, "There's still some unsplit firewood in the kitchen; I'll go split it now!"

Zhang Guihua sat down, saw Liu Dongzhu feeding Wang Ping'an milk, couldn't help worrying and said, "Dongzhu, you say, if we really let our Ping'an become a disciple of Xuanqing Daozhang and become a Daoist, would he not be allowed to marry?"

"Mom, don't worry, didn't Xuanqing Daozhang already say that? Our Ping'an can become his disciple and still get married!"

Not to mention Zhang Guihua, even Liu Dongzhu herself has this worry, but who let Xuanqing Daozhang show such great kindness to their family and to Ping'an, to repay it, she said:

"If you're really worried, Mom, when Xuanqing Daozhang returns we'll tell him clearly that our Ping'an can become his disciple but must be allowed to marry and have children; I believe, given how much Xuanqing Daozhang loves our Ping'an, he will agree."

Zhang Guihua couldn't wait to say, "Dongzhu, you must definitely tell Xuanqing Daozhang this—our Wang family has only Ping'an as its sole heir, we still hope he will carry on the lineage and inherit our Wang family's incense!"

"Mom, I still want to hold a big grandson!"

Liu Dongzhu gave a hehe laugh.

"Ding! You feel the deep love of your mother Liu Dongzhu; the talent Maternal Love takes effect, congratulations on gaining Physique+1!"

A mechanical, cold voice echoed in his mind; Wang Ping'an's expression changed slightly—he never imagined that the Maternal Love talent, whose effect he didn't know, would actually produce this effect.

Increase Physique!

"What mother wouldn't wish her child to live a hundred years? Increasing physique isn't hard to understand!"

Wang Ping'an's face showed nothing but moving emotion.

"Guihua, Dongzhu!"

Not long after, a delighted voice came from the door—Zhang Pozi entered carrying a female cat, saw the Hei Mao Bu Tou at Liu Dongzhu's feet, her eyes lit up, and she hurried over.

She immediately put down the female cat she was holding!

Just as she was about to urge her own female cat to approach the Hei Mao Bu Tou, she saw the Hei Mao Bu Tou turn its head and glance at her cat, its eyes revealing a hint of contempt and a flash of ferocity.

Her female cat was frightened, its fur exploded, and it scrambled away as fast as it could.

Liu Dongzhu burst out laughing, "Aunt Zhang, it looks like our spirit cat looks down on your female cat!"

Zhang Guihua glanced at Liu Dongzhu in surprise; since Dongzhu received that divorce letter sent back from the Capital City, she hasn't been this happy in many days.

"You wretched beast, look what you've done to Dongzhu—if I had known, I should have strangled you when you were born!"

Zhang Guihua cursed under her breath, then said with a smile: "Zhang Shen, let's just keep sitting and chatting."
