Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Bai Ruoan's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, with large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead and her lips trembling slightly.

He was frail and sickly from childhood, and would be out of breath even climbing a small hill, let alone the towering Phoenix Perch Mountain, which seemed to pierce the clouds.

The thought of the climb that was about to begin filled him with fear and despair; the long mountain path seemed to him like a road to death.

This is going to kill him!

Just then, a sharp, sarcastic voice rang out from the crowd, as grating as a broken gong, carrying undisguised mockery.

"Oh, isn't this the sickly one from the Bai family? What, you also want to participate in the Star-Picking Pavilion's assessment? With your slender frame, do you think you can even climb Phoenix Perch Mountain?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd.

"Bai Ruoan, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Don't faint halfway down and have to trouble others to carry you down." The person who spoke laughed sarcastically, his tone full of malice. "If you really can't climb anymore, just call me good brother. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can consider carrying you up."

He deliberately drew out the three words "good brother," which elicited another burst of laughter from the surroundings.

The voice, like a leech, echoed repeatedly in Bai Ruoan's mind, causing his feelings of disgust to surge endlessly.

He didn't even need to look to know who the voice belonged to; who else could it be but that annoying guy Bai Zijian?

The main reason was that he was too familiar with that voice, so familiar that every time he heard it, he wanted to beat that disgusting face into a pig's head.

He frowned in disgust and looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, surrounded by a crowd, Bai Zijian walked over arrogantly.

Bai Zijian still maintained his arrogant and disdainful demeanor, as if nothing in this world could catch his eye.

Aside from a few familiar faces, the people surrounding him were all strangers, dressed in various styles, and clearly not from the Northern Abyss Kingdom.

Their faces were plastered with fawning smiles, their obsequiousness overflowing, as if Bai Zijian were some great and important figure.

"Brother, don't you think he's noisy?" Shen Ruoning whispered to Shen Ruoyu.

“Hmm. How about we do this…” Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning whispered their plan.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Situ Jingtian walked over with a gentle smile and greeted Shen Yunxi and her group.

Before Shen Yunxi could speak, Shen Ruoning interjected, "It's not a coincidence at all! We're going to the same destination, we'll run into each other sooner or later."

Situ Jingtian: "..."

Could you please give me a little face?

Shen Yunxi: "..."

She silently rubbed her forehead. This girl really does have a knack for saying things that are sure to shock people!

“Yes, these adults are really hypocritical,” Shen Ruoyu echoed.

Situ Jingtian's smile froze: "!!!!"

Shen Yunxi's lips twitched. Her son's mouth was as sharp as ever!

The atmosphere was a bit awkward...

Shen Yichen looked around but didn't see Situ Jingxuan, so he asked, "Where's Jingxuan? Isn't he with you?"

With Shen Yichen's help, Situ Jingtian coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and said, "He...he went to look for you. Didn't you run into him?"

Shen Yichen slowly shook his head, his tone tinged with doubt: "No, we haven't seen him along the way."

Did we miss it on the way?

The thought flashed through Shen Yichen's mind.

Seeing Shen Yichen's reaction, Situ Jingtian sighed helplessly, muttering to himself: Where did this kid run off to? Did he go treasure hunting in some remote corner again? He's such a worry.
