The Silly Immortal Lord Comes Down to Overcome His Tribulation - Chapter 3

“You help me find her first. As soon as I’m able to move, I’ll go to her.”

“Have you forgotten who I am? Finding someone is just a matter of a cup of tea.” The Painting of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains was quite confident in its abilities.

Bai Mo tried to turn over, but after several attempts, he couldn’t move. “That was in the Heavens. Time in the mortal realm is different.”

The Painting examined everything in the room, then flew back to face Bai Mo.

“Stop tossing yourself about. Wait until you can walk, and then I’ll help you find her. This world is truly interesting. I’m going to go outside and take a look around; you, meanwhile, should eat well and sleep well that’s the only way to grow fast.”

Bai Mo watched the direction in which the Painting disappeared, his mood completely ruined. Why couldn’t I have just been born as an adult?

“Waaaa, waa ” This is killing me.

Bai Zhiyuan scrambled to his feet, rushed over, and picked Bai Mo up, clumsily trying to soothe him. “Baby, be good, don’t cry. Daddy’s holding you, be good~”

Since their precious son was crying, Xia Wei stopped eating too.

“Honey, do you think he needs a diaper change?”

Bai Zhiyuan checked. “No, maybe he’s hungry. I’ll go have the nanny prepare some formula.”

“Give him to me, you go quickly don’t let our baby go hungry!” Xia Wei felt heartbroken hearing the child’s cries.

Shortly after, the nanny arrived with a bottle, accompanied by a large group of people.

Bai Mo felt like a monkey in a performance troupe, surrounded and stared at by everyone. However, he received so many compliments on how good he looked, how cute he was, and how well-behaved he was, that his mood balanced out quite a bit.

Old Master Bai, Bai Ye, had arrived from City A with his wife and his eldest son and daughter-in-law. Looking at the little fellow who was staring intently at him, his sharp, stern face softened with a touch of gentle affection.

Bai Zhiyuan watched his father and his precious son staring each other down, and he couldn’t help but interject, “Dad, stop making such a stern face—you’ll scare Mo Mo.”

“You still don’t know? Your father has spent his entire life in the military; his face has always been this sour. I’m the only one who’s used to it.” Yi Yin teased her adorable grandson, but no matter how she tried, the child wouldn’t even smile once. What was going on?

That same day, Bai Mo was taken by this group to a very beautiful and luxurious house. His father said this was his home. Looking at the gold-plated, dazzling place, he wondered: Did I fall into a golden nest?

Hehehe, this is great! From now on, I’ll have endless money. I can buy whatever I want and eat whatever I want.

“Yo! The baby smiled! He must be happy to know he’s home. Come, Grandma will give you a big red envelope.”

Xia Wei had rested in the hospital for a few days and was feeling much better. Seeing her mother-in-law offer that thick red envelope, she said, “Mo Mo, thank the grandmother.”

Bai Mo looked at the red object shoved into his hand. Inside was a stack of peach-colored paper. I’m a human now, not a ghost; what would I want paper for? Plus, it’s so heavy, I can’t hold it—throw it.

Thump! The red envelope was ruthlessly tossed onto the floor.

“Oh my! You child, you don’t even want money?” Yi Yin laughed.

When Bai Mo heard it was money, he panicked.

“Aaaaaaaa  (Why didn’t you just tell me it was money? If you had, I would have been able to hold it no matter how heavy it was!)”

Bai Mo waved his little hands. He wanted that red envelope; he wanted that money.

Xia Wei bent down, picked up the red envelope, and shook it in front of Bai Mo.

“Mo Mo, this is money. You can buy many, many little fish toys you like.”

Bai Mo reached out to grab it, thinking, I know it’s money now! Just give it to me!

Seeing her son reaching out, Xia Wei didn’t tease him anymore and handed the envelope back. The moment it touched his hand, it was snatched away. She was stunned.

“This child was only born a few days ago his grip is actually really strong.”

Bai Mo hugged the thick red envelope tightly, emitting happy, cooing sounds.

Yi Yin watched her precious grandson, his little mouth curled up in a sweet smile, and she laughed too.

“This child likes money! When he grows up, he’ll be a master at making money, just like his dad.”

Bai Mo didn’t know if he would be good at making money, but he was certain he would be good at spending it. He wanted to buy many, many delicious things and use money to overcome his tribulation. He was glad he had been born into such a good family this time.

Bai Mo reflected: From now on, whatever people give him, regardless of whether it’s good or bad, he would accept it first and throw it away only after confirming it, just so he wouldn’t miss out on any treasures.

Over the next few days, many guests came to the house and teased him the moment they saw him. Bai Mo found it incredibly annoying.

“He sleeps quite a lot!” a strange woman’s voice remarked.

Bai Mo shouted internally, Here we go again that annoying hand is poking my handsome, extraordinary face! In fact, he had been awake for a long time, he just didn’t want to face reality.

“Yes, he doesn’t cry or fuss when he wakes up. Super well-behaved.”

Mom is still the best she knows how to praise me.

“As expected of my son. Maybe he just doesn’t want to tire out his mother; he knows how to be filial even at this young age.”

Hm, the old man isn’t bad either.

“In a family as privileged as yours with such great genes, the child born is sure to be clever and agile—different from ordinary children.”

Bai Zhiyuan had heard plenty of flattery in the business world, but he still appreciated it when it was directed at his child.

“Hm, when I was little, people used to say I was special.”

Bai Mo played along, pretending to sleep in his crib. Hearing his father say that, he really wanted to say… Your son, I am even more special…

When the surroundings were finally quiet, Bai Mo opened one eye to peek. Phew  finally gone. I’ve been lying in this position for too long; I want to roll over.

“Eh~ Honey, look! The baby’s awake!”

Bai Mo felt ashamed. I got careless!

Bai Zhiyuan happily picked up Bai Mo and lifted him high into the air.

“Yo, son, you’re awake! Wifey, look at our son’s big, round eyes blinking—he’s really cute.”

“Mm-hmm, his eyes look just like yours, very beautiful,” Xia Wei recalled the first time she saw Bai Zhiyuan; she had been captivated by his eyes.

“Come on, Mo Mo, call Daddy!”

“He’s still so young, how could he call out? Come on, Mo Mo, give Mommy a smile,” Xia Wei said, poking her son’s cute little face.

Daddy… Mommy… Speaking of which, he didn’t remember his own birth and didn’t know who his parents were. In all ninety-nine lives he had experienced, he had been an orphan. Father, mother two intimate yet unfamiliar terms.

What is family affection like?

Bai Mo reached out and grabbed the finger that was poking his face.

Perhaps… this is actually the bitter end and the sweet beginning of my ninety-nine lives. This is meant to let me experience the love of parents, isn’t it?

“Hehehe~” Bai Mo gripped the finger tightly and revealed a bright, sunny smile.

Little Bai Mo, wearing a yellow Pikachu onesie, followed his mother shopping at the mall. The early bird catches the worm; today is also a day of working hard to find the target… Don’t ask why I have to find her myself the answer is that the Painting of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains can’t find anyone.

He wasn’t willing to accept that he had been born into such a good family only to have the object of his tribulation be missing. He felt the Painting must have malfunctioned—yes, that had to be it.

Xia Wei was picking out handbags in a luxury store when she met an acquaintance.

“Your Mo Mo has grown up so well! Not only is he a little handsome guy, but even at three years old, he’s already as tall as a five-year-old.” A beautiful woman praised.

Xia Wei happily laughed. “That’s right. Mo Mo is active; as soon as he could crawl, he wanted to run. He grows fast.”

And he eats a lot too always picking the best and most expensive things to eat.
