Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

Chapter 122, Dad!

Eating is a daily routine.

It sounds unremarkable.

However, many people find it difficult, or do not have the time, to sit down with their families and have a peaceful meal together.

Especially in the martial arts era, people were either cultivating or fighting, and many rarely had time to sit down and eat.

In Dong Qing's personal opinion.

These people are all very busy.

But he didn't know why these people were so busy.

It seemed that there was no daily life other than cultivation and battle.

Just like Hong and Thor now.

Every day is either spent training or fighting.

In order to catch up with Dongqing.

They worked very hard.

However, Dongqing's daily routine is the same: leaving home at nine in the morning, working until eleven in the afternoon, and then having dinner.

I went to Shennongjia in China at noon to visit Irina, chatted for a bit, and then practiced until 3 pm before returning home.

Every single day, without fail.

Unless something really happens.

When I have nothing to do in the evenings, I either study human genetics with them or check the latest news.

Otherwise, they might watch videos, play virtual online games, or create multiple accounts online to browse around.

I dare not say how extravagant it was.

But it's definitely more than enough.

I forgot to mention.

Because Xu Xin had previously used the emperor to command the princes, and used the twins in her womb as hostages to coerce Dong Qing into getting married, Dong Qing's private life almost exploded.

Now, Dongqing can return to more than just the base cities in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. In seven of the world's five major countries and twenty-three base cities, people are waiting for Dongqing to come home.

[First home: A base city in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, primarily inhabited by Xu Xin and her two children. Dong Qing returned most frequently because of the children.]

[Second Home: Jiangnan Base City, where the Witch Hunter Yao Rao and the Moon Witch Jiang Fang, as an anti-base-stealing duo, have taken over Jiangnan Base City.]

[The third home: Kyoto Base City, the permanent residence of Miss Wang and the Twelve Noble Ladies' Secretarial Group.]

[Fourth home: Thunder Base City, Lei Lei herself, who is not used to living with other people.]

[Fifth home: Paris base city, Vinina Bolenas, Isadora, Fire Girl Far was an accident; she was dragged into it by Isadora, but Dongqing felt that she had planned it all along.]

[The sixth home: Rome, the base city, Janet, Zhao Ruo, the latter was also dragged into it by the former.]

[The Seventh Home: Moscow Base City, Yelena, Sokolov's daughter—this was truly an unexpected turn of events!]

After finishing the meal.

After wiping my mouth.

Dongqing was holding two little ones while watching cartoons.

These are all old cartoons from decades ago.

For example, Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Divine Weapon Little General, Qin's Moon, Lolo's Adventure, Jackie Chan's Adventure

Adventures of Little Carp, Super Beast Force, Digimon, GG Bond, and many more... a series of classic, yet timeless animations.

Normally, cartoons from decades ago would be outdated by today's standards in 2059. However, the great upheaval that occurred in 2013 led to a cultural wasteland, and coupled with the long-term threat of monsters, the cultural landscape is far less vibrant than it was decades ago.

"Dad, I want to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!"

This is Dongqing's daughter. She likes to watch cartoons like Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Little Hero, and The Adventures of Little Carp.

However, Dongqing's son likes to watch cartoons such as Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes, Qin's Moon, and Jackie Chan Adventures.

"Dad, I want to watch Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes!"

Because they are twins, whether they are a brother and sister or a sister and brother, it has not been determined until now.

Although normally the firstborn is considered the eldest, these two little ones simply don't accept that.

Very simple.

One person doesn't want to be the older sister, but if they are, they have to give in to the other.

One doesn't want to be the younger brother, because being the younger brother means having to listen to the older sister.

In fact.

The age difference between the two is already quite clear.

They just can't accept reality yet.

"I want to watch Qin's Moon!"

Dongqing pressed down on the two little ones' heads, one on each side. When he wasn't around, they could look at whatever they wanted in private.

Now that he's back, he can watch whatever he wants, just like an adult wouldn't buy food they don't like.

"dad!"

"dad!"

The two little ones don't necessarily have to watch their favorite cartoons.

They just hoped that Dongqing would favor them a little more.

Now Dongqing insists on watching the anime he likes.

They had no way to refute Dongqing's will.

I watched Qin's Moon for a while.

The two children had a lot of questions they wanted to ask.

"Dad, did martial arts really exist during the Warring States period, or even the Qin Dynasty?"

"Theoretically, it doesn't exist, but martial artists do in the real world, so just assume it does!"

"Dad, these martial artists can't fly, aren't they too weak?"

"You two remember this: normal children can't fly."

"Dad, aren't we normal children?"

"You guys...don't talk while watching cartoons!"

This wasn't the first time Dongqing had run into trouble; children's questions were incredibly varied and sometimes completely unexpected.

Then there are some questions that Dongqing finds difficult to answer; giving the wrong answer could lead them to misconceptions.

The following day, in Jiangnan Base City, at a private estate.

"Her name is Irina. She will be with me for a long time. You should all get to know her."

Dong Qing earnestly introduced Irina to the Moon Witch Jiang Fang and the Witch Hunter Yao Rao.

"Alien monsters?" This was the first thought that crossed Jiang Fang's mind.

"A bug monster?" That was the witch's first thought.

It was nothing more than the witch's seductive words about the insect monster.

Whenever Irina looked at her, her compound eyes were visible.

Generally speaking.

Only insects and arthropods have compound eyes, a special eye structure.

Normal humans do not have the compound eye structure that insects and arthropods possess.

However, Irina's compound eyes, which resembled those of insects and arthropods, only appeared briefly.

She merely observed the life genes of the Witch Hunter Yao Rao and the Moon Witch Jiang Fang.

"Your life genes are not strong enough to carry the baby successfully, and you do not have the opportunity to carry the baby's life genes as a mother."

Yesterday, Irina followed Dong Qing to observe Xu Xin. She thought that this time, Dong Qing also sent her to observe the witch Yao Rao and the moon witch Jiang Fang.

"If we can't, then she can?"

Speaking of this...

Whether it was the witch-hunter Yao Rao or the moon witch Jiang Fang, they were both furious because someone had used the emperor to command the princes and threatened Dong Qing with the child to force him to get a marriage certificate, which really angered them, the first ones to arrive.

They were the ones who arrived first, but someone else took the lead. They were indignant. They had worked hard all along, so why didn't they have this good fortune in getting pregnant?

"If you're talking about Xu Xin, a human from Earth, then she certainly can, and very easily."

"Her physique is naturally special. It may not be suitable for cultivation, but it is definitely the best mother body."

Irina didn't understand social etiquette; she was used to speaking the truth and had no idea how hurtful those words could be.

The witch Yao Rao and the moon witch Jiang Fang both dreamed of becoming pregnant, but Irina's words sealed their fate.

"Yao Rao, Jiang Fang, don't be angry. She does have the ability to see through a person and she doesn't lie. She didn't mean to provoke you."

Dong Qing quickly reached out and embraced the Witch Hunter Yao Rao and the Moon Witch Jiang Fang on either side, gently stroking them.
