Chapter 570: Abnormal Behavior of Xiao Tong!
Mother Xiao examined Xiao Tong’s entire body and did not find anything strange. She could only blame the mother.
Xiao Lingyu, “…” I don’t know anything.
Xiao Tong, “…” I didn’t do it on purpose.
“Come, Xiao Tong, be obedient. Open your mouth and let Grandma take a look, okay? It won’t hurt you,” Mother Xiao said gently again.
“…” Xiao Tong. Perhaps Grandma is right. Xiao Tong used his tongue to touch his gums. It felt hard and sharp.
Then, Xiao Tong was very obedient and opened his mouth.
Xiao Lingyu,”…” did this little brat have to be so rude to his mother?
No matter how she tried to coax him, he would not open his mouth. However, when it was her mother’s turn, after coaxing him twice, he obediently opened his mouth.
“Eh, he’s really teething.” Mother Xiao looked at the child’s gums and saw that there was a little bit of whiteness. She touched it with her hand, and it was very hard. They were new teeth.
Mother Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er, it is very uncomfortable when the child is teething. That’s why he’s so clingy to you. These few days, don’t go up the mountain. Stay at home and take good care of the child.”
Her words were clearly an order that had no room for negotiation.
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before she nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll take care of the child these few days.”
Ever since she gave birth to Xiao Tong, she did not seem to have taken care of him properly for a single day. Since he was so clingy to her now, she might as well take a break and accompany her son.
When Mother Xiao heard Xiao Lingyu’s promise, she sighed in relief. Then she warned, “Then, you better do a good job. If I find out you’ve mistreated my eldest grandson, I’ll smack you.”
“…” Xiao Lingyu was a little speechless as she said, “Mom, Xiao Tong is my son, so why would I mistreat him?”
“You still have the face to say that!” Mother Xiao glared at her. “You haven’t taken good care of Xiao Tong since he was born. It must be why he’s sticking so close to you now.” After saying that, Mother Xiao pinched the tip of Xiao Tong’s little nose gently and scolded him with a smile, “You little devil, Grandma has been taking care of you for half a year, but you still stick to your mother when you’re teething.” Her tone was obviously a little jealous.
Xiao Tong, “…”
‘I’m sorry, Grandma.
‘You’re my favorite and most beloved Grandma. Of course, I want to be close to you.
‘It’s just that as mom’s farming business grows bigger and bigger, it’ll definitely attract the attention of others.
‘So, in order to properly protect you and Grandpa, as well as everyone else, I need to enter Mom’s space to cultivate. At the very least, I need to reach the stage where no one can harm us anymore.’
Xiao Tong’s plan was to stick to Xiao Lingyu, because eventually, she’d bring him into the farming space. The time flow inside the space was different from outside. He could cultivate well there.
Actually, ever since Xiao Tong was born, Xiao Lingyu would occasionally let him enter the space to take a look and recuperate.
Xiao Ling said that the spiritual energy in this space could strengthen the child’s body. However, she was worried that it would not be good for Xiao Tong’s body if she stayed for too long, so she often stayed there for only a short period before she carried him out again.
This meant that Xiao Tong wouldn’t have the chance to absorb enough spiritual energy before he was forced out by his mother.
Therefore, it made the child feel a little depressed.
However, he was just a little baby and could not do anything.
But now, overhearing the worries of his grandfather, Xiao Tong had to work hard and cultivate in the space to become stronger. Therefore, he had been throwing a tantrum. He would cry whenever his mother didn’t carry him!
It pained his heart to do this to his grandmother.
…
Since Xiao Lingyu had decided to take care of the child properly, she had to deal with the matters at hand first. She made many phone calls. “Hello. Yaozu, I’m not going to City Z this week. Push the house-viewing to later. Oh. It’s Xiao Tong. He’s teething, and he refuses to let me go. I plan to accompany him. Okay. Good…”
Xiao Tong sucked on the bottle as he listened to his mother make the calls one by one. Xiao Tong nodded in satisfaction.
After Xiao Lingyu hung up the phone, she saw that Xiao Tong had just finished drinking the milk.
She took off the bottle that Xiao Tong was holding and pinched his little nose. She smiled and said, “You’re so clingy. Now mommy will accompany you properly, okay?”
Then, she mumbled to herself. “Where shall we go to play?” Suddenly, she felt the pain around her neck. She lowered her head and saw Xiao Tong holding onto her jade pendant tightly.
Xiao Lingyu said, “Xiao Tong, let go. You’ll hurt mommy pulling on the necklace so hard.”
However, Xiao Tong didn’t listen. He pulled harder. He wanted to yank the jade pendant down.
Xiao Lingyu said, “Xiao Tong, let go. Do you want to play with the pendant? Okay. Mommy will take off the pendant for you once you let go.”
Xiao Tong seemed to understand.
He really let go.
Xiao Lingyu secretly let out a sigh of relief. If Xiao Tong continued to drag her like this, her neck would really break.
She did not know how an infant at such a young age could have such strength.
But the jade pendant on her neck was not something that could be played with casually. What if the jade pendant broke?
However, when Xiao Lingyu met her son’s big, shiny eyes, she could only sigh softly and say, “Alright, I’ll let you play with it, but you have to be careful.”
Xiao Lingyu moved to remove the jade pendant. But at that moment, Xiao Tong suddenly jumped up in excitement. His two chubby hands reached out to grab the jade pendant.
Xiao Lingyu was shocked and immediately hugged the child with both hands. But before she could hold the child properly, the child’s hands closed around the jade pendant.
But before she could react, Xiao Tong was gone.
Gone!
Xiao Lingyu panicked and shouted, “Baby, where are you?”
After shouting, she looked down at the jade pendant on her neck and calmed down.
She thought to herself, ‘Could it be that Xiao Tong can enter the space by himself?’ No, I better go in and take a look.
Then, Xiao Lingyu entered the space as well.
After entering the space, she saw Xiao Tong lying on the lawn. He was looking at Xiao Ling and giggling loudly.
Xiao Ling squatted on the ground and played with the child. When she saw Xiao Lingyu enter, she asked, “Master, Little Master is so cute now! He even knows how to laugh.”
Xiao Lingyu picked the child up from the ground and said, “Baby, you suddenly disappeared. It really scared me to death. I didn’t expect you to enter the space on your own.”
Xiao Ling was stunned when she heard that.
Then, he asked in surprise, “Master, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that you didn’t send little master into the space, but he came in on his own?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “That’s right!”
How was that possible? Xiao Ling was the spirit of the space, and he knew that no one could enter this space without the permission of his master. So how did his master do this?
Xiao Ling stared at the cute face of the Little Master with confusion.
