Chapter 5: Young Master is So Kind

He was a good person?

The blue-clad young master shuddered and shrank his neck. He was the smiling bully whom everyone in the martial arts world feared, known as the "Martial World's Rogue" and the "Scourge of Ghosts," Baili Qianchuan!

This woman actually said he was a good person?

"Woman, save your breath. I'm no good person, and I certainly didn't intend to save you. I just couldn't stand that old woman!"

Baili Qianchuan sneered coldly and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, at that moment, a crisp "Wah!" rang out!

Was she giving birth?

She was giving birth!

Baili Qianchuan's foot, which had just stepped forward, froze mid-air as he cried out in shock, "She's giving birth!?"

So fast?

He turned his head in disbelief, only to see a baby boy lying on her skirt, wailing loudly. The umbilical cord had not even been severed yet, and the child's mother lay in a pool of blood.

She was gritting her teeth as she rose, propping herself up bit by bit, reaching out her hand and inching forward, her fingertips slowly approaching the child!

She wanted to hold him, her child!

Tears welled in her eyes, but there was no sign of pain, no sign of fragility; the shimmering light in her tears was one of joy and determination!

At this moment, Rong Jing's clothes were disheveled, her long hair was a mess, and half her body was covered in blood—she was in an utterly wretched state.

Yet, at this moment, Rong Jing was even more peerlessly elegant and incomparably noble!

Baili Qianchuan found himself unable to look away, because for the first time, he discovered that a woman's eyes could hold such strength and determination.

It was a conviction to live on through strength; it was the inviolable dignity of life!

This woman was more tenacious than any woman, or even any man, he had ever met!

For the first time in his life, Baili Qianchuan felt a surge of kindness. With a forced expression, he crouched beside Rong Jing, turning his body away to avoid looking at things he shouldn't, and used a dagger to carefully sever the umbilical cord before placing the child into Rong Jing's hands.

Overjoyed, Rong Jing forgot to even say thank you. She took the child with trembling, careful movements. Strangely, as soon as the baby was near her, he stopped crying, as if he could empathize with his mother's hardship.

Looking at the little baby, Rong Jing couldn't help but burst into a chuckle. "You're so ugly... but Mommy loves you!"

Although, strictly speaking, this wasn't her baby, it was one she had worked so hard to protect and worked so hard to bring into the world!

From this moment on, she was the child's mother!

From this moment on, if anyone dared to harm a single hair on this child, she would absolutely fight with her life!

And as for what the Rong clan owed them mother and child, she swore that as long as she lived, she would take it back tenfold!

"Father, Mother, our main branch won't die out. Our main branch has a successor!"

A voice echoed in Rong Jing's mind. At this moment, Rong Jing couldn't tell if this voice belonged to herself or her predecessor.

This voice caused a flash of sinister coldness to flicker in Rong Jing's eyes.

Baili Qianchuan only felt a chill down the back of his neck. How could this woman go from a loving mother one moment to a demon the next?

He hurriedly took off his large cloak and helped wrap the child for Rong Jing.

"Young master, thank you so much. You are the great benefactor of us mother and child!" Rong Jing was so grateful she was almost in tears, blinking her large, pitiful eyes as she stared at his outer garment.

Baili Qianchuan was defeated. He took off his expensive, ice-blue silk outer robe and draped it over Rong Jing.

"You are so kind, young master." Rong Jing continued to stare at him.

Baili Qianchuan's mouth twitched slightly. He coughed awkwardly a few times and asked, "Cut the nonsense. Where do you live?"

Rong Jing didn't answer; she just kept blinking her watery eyes, blinking more pitifully with every movement.

Baili Qianchuan lost his patience and asked again, "Hmm? I'm asking you! Where do you live? I'll take you back?"

"Young master, you must, you must be a very good person," Rong Jing said, word by word.

What did she mean?

Before Baili Qianchuan could understand, the constantly blinking Rong Jing suddenly closed her eyes, and her head slumped into his arms... she had fainted.

As soon as she fainted, the baby in his arms immediately let out a "Wah!" and began wailing loudly!

Seeing this, Baili Qianchuan's peach-blossom eyes suddenly darkened, and he said angrily, "Who told you I was a good person?"
