Join the ServerXiu Qingcheng originally didn’t believe in the talk of reincarnation, nor did she believe that the little baby in her arms would be the reincarnation of an elderly man in his twilight years.
But she looked into Li Mo’s eyes; at this moment, the love in Li Mo’s eyes was undisguised, watching every movement of the baby in Xiu Qingcheng’s arms somewhat obsessively.
That lingering love looked as if it was about to spill out of Li Mo’s eyes.
Xiu Qingcheng felt Li Mo didn’t look like she was lying.
Even if reincarnation really existed, could one reincarnate so quickly?
Clearly, it had only been a few months since Wang Zhuihai passed away.
Calculating the ten months of pregnancy, this baby looked just born; could it be that the mechanism of so-called “reincarnation” was being born immediately after dying?
Didn’t they often say that reincarnation takes a thousand years?
Once the three words “thousand years” came out, Xiu Qingcheng rubbed her temples.
“Then, Miss Li Mo, how are you sure… this little baby is your husband’s reincarnation?”
Xiu Qingcheng wanted to hear how Li Mo recognized Wang Zhuihai under these circumstances.
Hearing this, Li Mo, probably wanting to convince Xiu Qingcheng before her, blurted out:
“I’ve been tracking them for several weeks.
When they took him outside to pee, I saw a triangular birthmark on his butt!
The position and shape are exactly the same as my husband’s!”
Saying this, Li Mo pointed at the baby somewhat excitedly.
Hearing Li Mo’s words, the corner of Xiu Qingcheng’s mouth twitched, and she said with some difficulty:
“Miss Li Mo… so you’re saying, you not only stalked this baby’s whole family but also peeped at such a small child going to the toilet?”
Beside her, Meng Yingxing also hadn’t expected Li Mo’s statement to be so explosive.
“Miss Li Mo, aren’t you… a bit too extreme?”
What exactly was this demon girl thinking?
Perhaps sensing that the behavior she described was somewhat rude, Li Mo blushed and silently lowered her head.
“Actually… mainly because the baby’s brows and eyes are exactly the same as my husband’s.”
This sentence was more reliable; they say the shape of a person’s brows and eyes is fixed at birth and won’t change much.
Xiu Qingcheng sighed and decided to check if what Li Mo said was correct.
Meng Yingxing saw Xiu Qingcheng holding the baby in one hand and starting to uncover the baby’s swaddling clothes with the other.
“Master, Master!”
His eyes went straight, reaching out to stop Xiu Qingcheng’s action.
Xiu Qingcheng paused her hand movement, meeting her disciple’s gaze.
“What for?”
“What… are you doing?”
“Isn’t it obvious?
I’m checking if Miss Li Mo is telling the truth.”
“Let me do it!
Let me do it!”
Meng Yingxing extended his hands, volunteering to do the job of stripping the baby’s swaddling clothes.
How could Master strip another man’s clothes!?
Even a baby was not allowed!
Xiu Qingcheng didn’t know what Meng Yingxing was thinking, but she was happy to be free, letting Meng Yingxing take the baby from her arms.
Perhaps Meng Yingxing’s horoscope clashed with this little baby; the moment the baby entered Meng Yingxing’s arms, it started crying ceaselessly.
Meng Yingxing was flustered for a moment but still forcefully pulled open the swaddling clothes and turned him over.
Sure enough, on the baby’s butt, just as Li Mo said, there was a very peculiar triangular birthmark.
“See!
I told you he is my husband’s reincarnation!”
Li Mo probably hadn’t seen the birthmark on the little baby’s butt so close and carefully before; now, staring at a baby’s butt, her eyes shone with excitement.
“This…”
Xiu Qingcheng was still somewhat skeptical.
“Even if it’s a birthmark… it doesn’t prove anything, right?
Maybe it’s a coincidence?
Although the probability is low, it’s not impossible.”
And the Li Mo in front of her, did she really determine this baby was Wang Zhuihai’s reincarnation simply because of the same birthmark?
That seemed a bit too rash.
Or was her mood in pursuing Wang Zhuihai just that impatient?
Li Mo lowered her head and hesitated for a while, scratching and fidgeting, swaying back and forth, before she finally made up her mind about something and raised her head.
Only to see Li Mo take out a crystal-drop-shaped blue crystal from the bag hanging at her waist.
The crystal was round and smooth, emitting enviable brilliance under the sunlight.
“This… is a Mermaid’s Tear?”
Xiu Qingcheng recognized at a glance what the object before her was.
Seeing Li Mo bring out such a treasure, even Meng Yingxing, who wasn’t much interested in treasures, stopped his work of wrapping the baby back in the swaddling clothes to take an extra look at the treasure.
As a result, the moment his hand stopped moving, the baby cried even louder, and a stream of water overflowed from his lower body, spraying onto Meng Yingxing.
Meng Yingxing stood frozen in place for a moment.
Immediately, his eyes widened slightly, and he pulled away from the baby, shouting to Xiu Qingcheng with a mouth full of panic.
“Master, Master!
He peed, he peed!”
Xiu Qingcheng just widened her eyes as well, then very ruthlessly pushed Meng Yingxing aside.
“Don’t come over, don’t come over!
He already peed!
Let him finish peeing!”
“Master!”
“Don’t call me!
Hurry and change your clothes!”
Meng Yingxing tidied up the clothes he had just changed into with a huge headache.
He looked at the little baby who had dealt him a precise strike, now nesting in his Master’s arms, receiving his Master’s care, with swaddling clothes made from the clothes he had prepared for himself.
So young, and he already knew how to go against him, right?
Perhaps Xiu Qingcheng really had an affinity with babies; once back in Xiu Qingcheng’s arms, the baby stopped crying and fussing, allowing Xiu Qingcheng to use Meng Yingxing’s clean clothes as swaddling clothes to wrap him up haphazardly.
Li Mo watched eagerly from the side as Xiu Qingcheng took care of the baby, full of envy.
If not for Xiu Qingcheng and Meng Yingxing not letting her touch the baby, Li Mo would have loved to take care of him herself.
After settling the baby again, Xiu Qingcheng continued to ask Li Mo:
“So, what use does the Mermaid’s Tear have?”
Hearing this, Li Mo held the Mermaid’s Tear in her hands.
“Humans only know Mermaid’s Tears are formed from the tears of Jiaoren, but only tears of deepest emotion and love from a Jiaoren will condense into crystals, becoming the Mermaid’s Tears in human mouths.”
“In the human world, Mermaid’s Tears might be expensive treasures, but within the Jiaoren race, Mermaid’s Tears are indeed tokens used to bind the souls of those who love each other.”
“After my husband and I pledged our lives to each other, he and I bound a vow with the Mermaid’s Tear.”
“From then on, souls entwined, for eternity.”
As Li Mo spoke, she gazed obsessively at the Mermaid’s Tear in her hands, seeming to recall the past.
“As long as the two people who bound the soul vow touch this Mermaid’s Tear together, the Mermaid’s Tear will shine.”
Hearing Li Mo say this, Xiu Qingcheng seemed to have a vague impression; she indeed had heard of such things somewhere before.
It was probably when a certain sword master slaughtered several Jiaoren to seize Mermaid’s Tears.
Thinking of this, facing Li Mo, Xiu Qingcheng suddenly felt slightly guilty.
“Is it really that magical?”
Meng Yingxing stared at the Mermaid’s Tear in Li Mo’s hand, obviously hearing the story of the Mermaid’s Tear for the first time.
“One test and you’ll know.”
Li Mo stepped forward, holding out the Mermaid’s Tear.
Xiu Qingcheng grabbed the little baby’s hand and placed it on the Mermaid’s Tear.
As Li Mo’s hand and the little baby’s hand both touched the Mermaid’s Tear, the Mermaid’s Tear began to emit a faint blue light, and then the light became increasingly brilliant.
Now it was certain that this little baby was really the reincarnation of Li Mo’s husband, Wang Zhuihai.
“Miss Li Mo, could you lend me this Mermaid’s Tear to look at?”
Out of curiosity, Meng Yingxing asked for the Mermaid’s Tear from Li Mo’s hand.
He examined it closely.
After handing the Mermaid’s Tear to Meng Yingxing, Li Mo looked at Xiu Qingcheng.
“How about it?
He is really my husband’s reincarnation.
Can Master Xiu return the baby to me now?”
With Li Mo’s request, Xiu Qingcheng almost subconsciously handed the baby to Li Mo.
Fortunately, she was sharp enough to realize something was wrong.
What did she mean by Li Mo’s baby!
This was clearly someone else’s baby!
She almost got fooled by Li Mo!
Xiu Qingcheng stared at Li Mo with burning eyes, the corner of her lips curling up slightly.
“But Miss Li Mo, even if it’s proven that this baby is indeed your husband’s reincarnation, you can’t just snatch the person directly from his parents’ hands.”
Li Mo continued to lower her head and said:
“I didn’t want to either, but I told that family already that their child is my husband’s reincarnation!
But they just won’t believe it and won’t give the child to me!”
Huh?
What logic was this?
Did Li Mo not feel her way of thinking was a bit too unreasonable?
It could even be said to be very absurd.
Xiu Qingcheng furrowed her brows, her tone becoming heavy.
“Miss Li Mo, I know you are eager to find your husband, but I still hope you can be clear.”
“In this life, this child is first his parents’ child, and only secondarily possibly your husband’s reincarnation.”
“Moreover, asking his parents is useless; for this kind of thing, it’s better to let him decide for himself.”
Seeing Xiu Qingcheng still refuse to give the baby to her, Li Mo’s eyes reddened, and she got anxious.
“But he can’t even speak!”
“You also know he can’t even speak!
Can’t you wait ten or so years for him to re-emerge?”
“I can’t wait!
I simply can’t wait!”
Li Mo was somewhat hysterical, her eyes turning red along with her rims.
“Your actions are just like those people who snatch babies to be child brides… or child grooms; wishful thinking, extremely heartless.
It’s just for your own selfish desires.”
Xiu Qingcheng had lost the desire to converse with Li Mo; holding the baby, she waved her hand and turned around.
“Anyway, Miss Li Mo, I still hope you can think it through clearly.”
“I will return the child to his parents.
Please don’t follow them anymore.”
“Disciple, let’s go!”
Saying this, Xiu Qingcheng directly pulled away Meng Yingxing, who couldn’t get a word in, instantly moving far away from Li Mo.
