Counterattack of a White Lotus that was Reborn into an Apocalypse

Xia Zhi held the bundle containing Lian Yu with one hand, bringing the baby close to examine him carefully. His eyes were fixed on Lian Yu’s bright green eyes. Lian Yu, this little infant, saw his “Mama” for the first time and excitedly danced with his hands and feet. His tender, little hands waved, signaling that he wanted to be held—no, not just held, but not to be put down.

“Yi-yaya mama… ma… ma…” Lian Yu, the little baby, opened his tiny mouth and tried hard to pronounce words. Lian Hua lay on the ground in frustration. Lian Yu could only communicate with him mentally, and he had never made babbling sounds with his mouth before. However, upon seeing Xia Zhi, the words came out. Lian Hua felt he had pampered Lian Yu for nothing.

“Ma… ma… ma…” Lian Yu, the little baby, persistently called out, his small hands exhausted from all the waving. Why wasn’t Mama holding him yet? In response, Lian Yu pouted his tiny mouth and burst into loud cries.

Now Xia Zhi was in a bit of trouble. He quickly used both hands to cradle the little baby, awkwardly trying to comfort him. Seeing that Mama finally held him, Lian Yu, the tiny baby, still felt wronged and continued to wail loudly.

“Wife, the way you’re holding him is not right,” Lian Hua quickly got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and pointed. “Support his little buttocks, bend your left arm a bit more, that’s it. Lift your head a bit higher, hmm, just like that.” Lian Hua directed Xia Zhi on how to hold the baby. Xia Zhi, currently nervous and flustered, didn’t even pay attention to Lian Hua’s addressing.

After about ten minutes of coaching, Xia Zhi finally managed to hold the little baby skillfully. Lian Yu, now content, nestled in Xia Zhi’s arms, blowing bubbles and playing with the buttons on Xia Zhi’s clothes. He even giggled joyfully.

Xia Zhi securely held the child and finally deigned to give Lian Hua a look, not uttering a word but simply staring at him. Lian Hua, wrapped in the charred cloak, became nervous. Rubbing his hands together, he shyly said, “Wife, I brought our child to see you.”

“What did you call me?” Xia Zhi arched an eyebrow in a charming manner. Lian Hua felt a sudden whoosh, and a pink little arrow struck him in the chest.

“Wife,” Lian Hua mumbled dizzily.

Crack! Another lightning flash struck, leaving Lian Hua numb all over and giving his hair a free perm.

“Wife,” Lian Hua maintained a stiff posture, and with great resentment, he called out again.

“You still dare to call?” Hasn’t this guy learned his lesson? Xia Zhi was calculating how to deal with this guy who had been absent for several months. Unexpectedly, encountering this fool gave him a pleasant surprise. Looking at the little guy in his hands, happily playing and even drooling, Xia Zhi couldn’t help but smile. Indeed, this child was undeniably connected to him by blood.

This fool didn’t even know how he ended up dressed all in green. He probably thought that by hiding in the cloak, he could escape notice. What a complete fool.

“Do you still want to be surrounded by so many onlookers?” Xia Zhi turned and walked away, holding Lian Yu, the little baby, in his arms. Lian Hua, bouncing along, followed closely behind. The uncle selling toys saw that Lian Hua hadn’t picked up the scattered toys and happily picked them up himself. “Hey, don’t want them after buying? I can sell them again! What a strange person.”

“Papa, you’re really weak,” Lian Yu secretly communicated with Lian Hua.

You little rascal, see how I’ll deal with you in the future! Lian Hua gritted his teeth, feeling deeply envious seeing Xia Zhi holding Lian Yu so affectionately. He hadn’t even held him yet!

“Wife, where are we going?” Lian Hua leaned in cautiously, asking with a careful tone.

Xia Zhi cast him a sidelong glance. “Call me that again, and you can forget about it.” Xia Zhi remained as elegant and aloof as ever.

Oh no, wife, how could you do this? I even gave birth to our son. Don’t tell me you still don’t want to acknowledge it?

“Well, how about Little Xia Xia?” Lian Hua tentatively suggested. He definitely didn’t want to call him Little Zhi or anything like that – his cheap cousin used to call him that, and it was too irritating.

“Whatever.” Xia Zhi strode forward with his long legs, and Lian Hua quickly stood by his side. He discreetly glanced at him and realized that he was now about a fist’s distance taller than Xia Zhi. Yes! Lian Hua mentally gave himself a thumbs-up.

Thus, an unusual scene unfolded in the Cloud City Base today. A cold and beautiful woman holding a baby, accompanied by a person draped in a pitch-black cloak, created a trio that definitely caught people’s attention.

Following Xia Zhi, Lian Hua headed straight to the high-end residential area. Lian Hua’s gaze remained fixed on the two individuals. Little Lian Yu kept babbling, his green eyes rolling around, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

“Come in!” Xia Zhi swiped his card to open a door, and Lian Hua hurriedly followed. This was the C district, where usually superhumans and their families lived.

Xia Zhi had temporarily rented a small house. Originally, he didn’t intend to stay here for long. However, after hearing the fortune-teller’s words, he decided to wait for a few days to see if it was true. And today, he actually encountered it.

Xia Zhi placed Little Lian Yu on the sofa, sat down with his legs crossed, and Lian Yu crawled around on him. “Speak up, what’s going on? Also, get rid of that worn-out thing of yours.”

Lian Hua stood on the side like a well-behaved child, and he took off the cloak with a flourish. A head of curly green hair was revealed, with green eyebrows and eyes, dressed in simple green clothes, looking pitifully at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi’s mouth twitched, almost bursting into laughter. He covered it up by placing his fist near his lips. “Well, how did you end up like this?”

“Wife, all this is for the sake of staying with you and our child!” Lian Hua sat beside Xia Zhi, blinked his eyes, and looked at him with anticipation.

The sound of a faint and soul-stirring electric current surged through his body.

“Didn’t I tell you not to make random noises?” The thunderous light crackled in the hands of Xia Zhi.

Lian Hua shook himself off. No way, he thought, let’s consider these electric currents as a form of amusement. “There’s no one else here now,” Lian Hua said with a shameless face.

The thunderous light in Xia Zhi’s hands flashed even more fiercely.

“Wah…!” Lian Yu pulled Xia Zhi’s sleeve and burst into tears.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Xia Zhi dismissed the electric light and lifted Lian Yu, looking around.

“Good job, son,” Lian Hua gave a thumbs up.

“That’s right, Papa is so useless, always needing someone else’s help,” Lian Yu said while crying, clutching Xia Zhi’s hand.

“He’s probably hungry,” Lian Hua explained to Xia Zhi.

“Hungry?” Xia Zhi frowned, then suddenly disappeared from the sofa.

Lian Hua: “…..” Am I the only one abandoned? How pitiful.

Feeling dejected, Lian Hua sat on the sofa. After a few minutes, Xia Zhi returned holding Lian Yu and a large bag of supplies.

Lian Hua took a look—baby carriage, formula, baby bottle, toys, diapers, baby powder, baby oil—everything a baby could need.

“Boil water for milk formula.” Xia Zhi tossed a small kettle, a large bottle of water, and a can of formula to Lian Hua.

Lian Hua took a look, and wow, Lian Yu had spring water to make formula from the very beginning—talk about differential treatment!

Lian Hua picked up the items and went to the kitchen to boil water. The utilities here were currently very expensive, but Xia Zhi had no shortage of money, and now neither did Lian Hua.

After boiling the spring water, Lian Hua prepared a bottle of formula. Considering Lian Yu’s hearty appetite, one bottle wouldn’t be enough, so he boiled another kettle of water as a backup.

Holding the baby bottle to cool it down, Lian Hua found that the freshly made formula was still very hot, and Lian Yu’s little cries and peculiar sounds reached his ears.

“Hey! Idiot, come and see how to do this!” Xia Zhi shouted in frustration.

Lian Hua hurriedly ran over. He saw Xia Zhi, sweating profusely, struggling with a piece of baby clothes but unable to dress Lian Yu properly. Lian Yu kept moving around, not cooperating at all. Seeing Xia Zhi in this cute and busy state, Lian Hua found it too heartwarming. Who would have expected this side of Xia Zhi? Where was the cold and formidable top expert?

“Hey, idiot, why are you standing there dumbly?” Xia Zhi glared at Lian Hua angrily.

“Coming, coming,” in order to avoid further domestic violence, Lian Hua quickly went up to help.

“Wu wu, Papa, I don’t want to wear this! This thing is so ugly,” Lian Yu refused with baby talk.

When Lian Hua took a look, no wonder Lian Yu was so uncooperative. Xia Zhi dressed Lian Yu in a baby tiger-themed outfit, which was incredibly cute.

“How could you? It’s so cute. This is what your Mama wants to dress you in. You can’t refuse,” Lian Hua rubbed his hands together and directly joined the force against Lian Yu.

“Ah ah ah, Papa and Mama don’t love me anymore. I feel so sad. Wuu wuu wuu, I hate Papa and Mama,” Lian Yu cried and threw a tantrum.

Lian Hua directly used his superpower—the green hair! He gently wrapped Lian Yu in it, making him unable to move. Then, he helped Xia Zhi dress Lian Yu in the adorable little tiger outfit.

“So cute.” Xia Zhi looked satisfied at his masterpiece, even kissed Lian Yu, and the little baby Lian Yu choked but accepted it. He didn’t understand what his mom was saying, but he knew he was helping. It made his dad feel quite sad.

Lian Hua again handed over the milk bottle, and Xia Zhi held Lian Yu to feed him. To express dissatisfaction, Lian Yu sucked on the pacifier with a squeaky sound, and his little mouth went up and down rhythmically.

After the quiet moment, Xia Zhi looked at Lian Hua, waiting for his explanation.

Lian Hua felt his scalp tingling under the gaze and honestly recounted his experiences over the past few months, emphasizing Lian Yu’s origin.

“Lian Yu, is it that silly and weird mushroom you had before?” Xia Zhi looked at Lian Yu. It was challenging to associate this cute little baby with that peculiar mushroom, but the distinctive green hair made things clearer.

“Ah woo!”

Hearing Mama describe him like that, Lian Yu, the little baby, angrily spat out some milk. Xia Zhi, with a good temper, took a towel and wiped him clean.

“Yes, but now he’s already human. His original form has merged with me,” Lian Hua explained.

“So, you mean,” Xia Zhi’s eyes narrowed, “that mushroom took my blood back then?”

Both Lian Hua and Lian Yu felt their scalps tighten simultaneously; their theft had been exposed. Lian Hua’s palms were sweating, thinking, “Oh my, wife, don’t be so serious!”

“Um… well… it should be like that,” Lian Hua said, putting on a brave face, while Lian Yu, the little baby, also behaved well and drank his milk obediently.

“Hmm…” Xia Zhi gently patted Lian Yu without saying anything, without expressing his stance. It left Lian Hua and Lian Yu anxious and on edge, wondering whether Xia Zhi was angry or not. QAQ

“This is good.” Xia Zhi suddenly spoke, “Now my parents also have a grandson to hold.” Xia Zhi looked at Lian Hua, “Is our son considered both of ours now?”

Lian Hua nodded vigorously.

Xia Zhi tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Then come back to Kyoto with me!”

Lian Hua was stunned for a moment. Oh my, is this the rhythm of meeting the parents? But I’m not ready yet! No gifts, no preparations! QAQ

Lian Hua stood up from the sofa all of a sudden, scratched his head, and paced around with a pained expression. “Darling, I’m not ready to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law! Shouldn’t we prepare some gifts?”

A flash of lightning came straight at Lian Hua, hitting him right in the mouth.

Lian Hua: “…..” Darling, can we not be so violent? QAQ

“You’re daydreaming! My family dislikes the Bai family the most.” Xia Zhi swayed with Lian Yu in his arms, casually stating.

“Are you giving me a hint?” Lian Hua became excited. His darling is really thoughtful.

“In that case, let’s not mention that I’m from the Bai family,” Lian Hua eagerly suggested, “Anyway, with my current appearance, no one would recognize me.”

A smirk formed on Xia Zhi’s lips, “Do you think my two brothers and my parents are pushovers?”

Lian Hua was stunned. Oh no, his darling’s two brothers are both high-ranking military officers! His uncle is also an extraordinary figure, not to mention Mr. Xia, who is even more formidable. How could he possibly conceal his identity?

“What should we do then?” Lian Hua looked at Xia Zhi with pleading eyes.

“How should I know?” Xia Zhi responded. Seeing Lian Hua’s distressed expression, he felt in a good mood and couldn’t resist teasing him a bit.

“Darling.” Lian Hua pleaded, reaching out to grab Xia Zhi’s arm.

Xia Zhi lowered his head to look at Lian Yu and tidied up his collar.

Lian Hua glanced at Lian Yu, then suddenly clapped his hands, excited. “I’ve even given birth to your son. Your family has to agree, whether they like it or not!” Lian Hua lifted his chin, portraying an expression of ‘how could you abandon us after all we’ve been through.’

Xia Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth. This guy was shameless, but well, this tactic seemed to be effective.

“Go and feed him,” Xia Zhi handed Lian Yu and the emptied bottle to Lian Hua. Lian Yu smacked his lips, clearly indicating he wanted another bottle.

Lian Hua: “…..” Was this not a straightforward answer to his question? It was too heart-wrenching. Lian Hua took the empty bottle, his head hanging low, and went to prepare another bottle.

After filling the bottle, thinking Xia Zhi would continue feeding, Lian Hua found him frozen on the sofa, face alternating between red and white, a truly captivating sight.

“What’s wrong? This is…”

“Just look at what your son did,” Xia Zhi gritted his teeth.

“Huh?” Lian Hua went to see, and Lian Yu was happily playing with his fingers, wetting a part of Xia Zhi’s clothes.

Lian Hua: “…..” Xia Zhi got peed on!

“Well, you’ll get used to being peed on a lot.” Lian Hua consoled insincerely.

“Hold your son.” Xia Zhi tossed Lian Yu to Lian Hua and disappeared in an instant.

Did he went back to the space to take a bath? Lian Hua patted Lian Yu’s small buttocks. “How does it feel to pee on your dad?”

“Feeling good and enchanted.” Lian Yu, the little baby, had a dreamy expression.

Lian Hua: “…..” Dumbfounded by his son’s words.

Lian Hua took Lian Yu to the bathroom for a bath and then dressed him in a cute bunny outfit. Did he think he could escape by wetting the tiger outfit? Too naive! Xia Zhi collected supplies by taking entire shelves, and who knows how many baby clothes he has!

Lian Yu, the little baby, was on the verge of tears. This time, he had an additional bunny hat covering the green fuzz on his head.

Lian Hua took a bath himself, and in the end, without bothering to put on the self-made green clothes, he wrapped a towel around himself and went out.

Xia Zhi emerged from the space, changed into a bathrobe, and was playfully teasing Lian Yu on the bed. Lian Hua couldn’t help but stare, and with a wave of Xia Zhi’s hand, a set of clothes covered Lian Hua’s head. Unwilling to put them on, Lian Hua tugged at the towel, revealing his toned muscles. He was no ordinary person now, just look at those abs and chest muscles. Lian Hua deliberately circled around a few times in front of Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi didn’t lift his head, “Sleep.”

Lian Hua was puzzled, “Where do I sleep?”

Xia Zhi lay down on the bed, holding Lian Yu in his arms. “Other than the bed, it’s up to you.”

Lian Hua: “…..” Silently setting up a hammock, it was too much. His wife and son got the bed, and he had to sleep on the floor!
