Chapter 451: He Has Come To Propose 6
Qi Qingyao looked at that Pill of Omnipotence. She raised her gaze and asked the two, “You two, are you going to draw lots or play rock scissors paper?”
Dabao and Xiaobao looked at each other, then Dabao moved back to let Xiaobao explain. Xiaobao nodded slightly and then slowly said, “Mommy.”
“Hm?” Qi Qingyao could not shake off the feeling that things might turn out differently than she imagined.
There was some solemness in Xiaobao’s childlike voice as he said, “Both of us have done the research.”
“…” They were so young yet they used the word ‘research’. Qi Qingyao felt like teasing them for it, but then felt that it was not the time for it. She held back her smile and looked at Xiaobao with a straight face.
Xiaobao said, “This pill is not easy to make so both of us have decided that Mommy should take it.”
“Ah?” Qi QIngyao was astonished.
Dabao asked, “Didn’t Mommy say that you can get some power to cultivate after taking it?”
Qi QIngyao nodded dumbly.
Dabao smiled frankly and said, “So Mommy should take it and then work hard to become a powerhouse!”
Qi Qingyao, “…”
This…this was indeed completely different from what she imagined.
She had expected that Dabao would first take it since he seemed more of an active character. As for Xiaobao, perhaps they might be able to get another Pill of Omnipotence for him another time. Qi Qingyao had decided to take things one step at a time.
Who would have thought that they would end up wanting her to take it instead?
Nevertheless, Qi QIngyao was a little curious about what kind of physical reaction she would have after taking the pill.
She remained as calm as she could.
Then she shook her head cautiously.
“Even with your good intentions, Mommy’s already twenty years old, I’m too old now. I’m long past the prime age for cultivating! I might not even get any results if I take the pill! Five million would be wasted just like that, you know?”
Dabao, “…”
Xiaobao, “…”
Erniu and Uncle Si Jin were standing together, heads c.o.c.ked. They wondered why she would not take it, but they did not dare say anything.
Qi Qingyao pushed the little wooden box insistently toward the two.
Dabao shook his head and started, “But!”
“No buts.” Qi Qingyao was firm with her own plans. “If you two keep making concessions then I think Dabao should take it first.”
Saying this, she looked nervously at Xiaobao.
She had three children, after all. She had to make things fair no matter what.
Xiaobao was an easy-going kid. His chubby face was filled with a smile as he said, “Let Brother take it first, then.”
Qi QIngyao pulled Xiaobao to her and sat him down on her thigh before asking, “Would you really not think that Mommy is being biased?”
Xiaobao was already four years old. Sitting on his mommy’s leg made him feel somewhat embarra.s.sed. He thought of himself as a big boy now. He was shy but did not climb down from his mommy’s legs. His eyes were bright as he blinked. He gave off a cute but calm aura when he said, “No, Brother is older than me so I should let him go first.”
Qi Qingyao kissed Xiaobao’s cheek. “Good boy, you’re really Mommy’s good baby.”
Xiaobao was a somewhat introverted child.
After being kissed so casually by Qi Qingyao…
He kept getting more and more shy.
His face had instantly turned red.
He buried his face into his mother’s arms.
Dabao was very envious when he saw Xiaobao being carried to sit on his mother’s thigh. He had not been kissed by his mother recently and he said impatiently, “Mommy, I wanna let Xiaobao eat the pill because I also want to be Mommy’s good baby!”
Qi Qingyao curved her index finger and gently flicked Dabao’s head.
“Silly boy, just take the pill. You have to realize that you should be able to protect yourself.”
Dabao covered his head and looked at her bitterly.
Qi Qingyao continued, “I think you’re more straightforward and impulsive compared to Xiaobao. You don’t think enough and if you meet danger with your current mindset, you’ll lose out in the future if you don’t have any skills. Xiaobao is different. He’s very calm. I often feel that he is calmer than even me! If he gets in danger, he’ll be able to find a way to survive even if he cannot cultivate.”
Dabao, “???” Dabao felt bitter—he was not someone who acted mindlessly!
Xiaobao, “….” Was this a praise to him? Was Mommy saying that he was smarter than Dabao?
