When will I ever stand tall in this family?
At this moment, it was Jiang Wu Xu's turn to watch the baby, and he was not far from Jiang Yuqiong.
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Wu Xu immediately shot a glare.
"You little punk, what mischief are you up to now?"
He'd clearly heard Jiang Yuqiong let out a series of strange cries just moments ago, as if he'd been grumbling and cursing.
And then, with one slap, he'd smashed the table to bits!
Can't you stay still for even a moment?
As he spoke, Jiang Wu Xu strode forward, grabbed Jiang Yuqiong by the scruff, and raised a hand to spank his little bottom.
This kid was too rambunctious—he needed a good lesson!
Time to teach him about a father's authority!
But before his hand could land, Jiang Yuqiong twisted his head and shouted toward the house behind them.
"Mom, Dad's hitting me!"
His voice was still high-pitched and babyish, his words a bit garbled.
But his closest family members could now make out some of his simpler phrases.
This shout was like poking a hornet's nest!
With a whoosh, Su Qingshuang's figure materialized before them.
She'd actually used her cultivation to teleport through space!
But before she could speak, two booming voices roared from different directions!
"Jiang Wu Xu, what do you think you're doing?"
"Put my grandson down right now!"
As the voices landed, two figures descended.
It was Grandpa Su Yunfeng and Grandpa Jiang Taixing.
Each raised a massive hand, gleaming like divine iron!
They looked ready to give someone a thrashing!
Jiang Wu Xu shuddered, stumbling back several steps, his expression freezing for a moment.
Then, facing his wife and two imposing fathers, he forced an awkward smile.
"What did Yuqiong do now that you're hitting him again?"
Su Qingshuang snatched Jiang Yuqiong from his grasp, cradling him protectively.
"N-Nothing!"
"Would I ever hit Yuqiong?"
"He… he just smashed the table, and I wanted to check… check if his hand hurt."
Jiang Wu Xu flashed a toothy grin at the trio, his face full of appeasement.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuqiong burst into giggles, sounding like a little rooster fresh off laying an egg.
His small eyes shot a playful glance at his dad.
As if to say: Dad, you're such a coward!
That look alone was enough to rile Jiang Wu Xu up!
He glared back fiercely!
You little brat, what's with that expression?
Seeing this, Jiang Taixing and Su Yunfeng both let out a heavy "Hmm?" in unison, making Jiang Wu Xu shrink back, his neck retracting.
His pent-up frustration melted into a deep sense of dejection.
He roared inwardly!
My own son—and I don't even have the right to spank him?
His gaze shifted to his own father.
Back when I was young, I took plenty of beatings from you!
Why's it different now that I'm the dad?
What kind of world is this!
Outrageous!
When will I, Jiang Wu Xu, ever stand tall in this family?!
One moment furious, the next wistful.
But Su Qingshuang and the two grandpas didn't spare him another glance, turning to dote on the little one instead.
"Mom, I'm going to start secluded cultivation!"
After a bout of ruckus, Jiang Yuqiong piped up in his childish voice.
At the same time, a tremendous power surged within his tiny body!
A mighty aura roiled, spiritual energy transforming into thunder that crackled through his martial veins, unleashing terrifying waves!
The spiritual energy of Moon-Gazing Peak rushed toward him, drawn into his body!
Eight hundred forty million giant elephant seeds roared in unison, bathing his small frame in divine light, his might awe-inspiring!
Jiang Yuqiong was fixated on his new task.
Only six months to reach Divine Wheel Realm Tenth Layer!
A daunting challenge—no time to waste!
"Why's he suddenly cultivating?"
"Is Yuqiong about to break through to the Divine Wheel Realm?"
The family members were astonished.
Clearly, the little guy was at it again.
But it made sense.
Months ago, he'd reached Heavenly Astral Realm Ninth Layer.
Later, he'd devised a body-refining technique, transforming every cell and amassing boundless spiritual energy!
His strength had soared to a terrifying level.
Even ordinary Spirit Nurturing Realm cultivators might not match him!
Now, it was indeed time to break into the Divine Wheel Realm.
"The Divine Wheel Realm isn't easy to breach. This little guy's cultivation will take some time, and it'll surely cause a big stir."
"Let's find him a spot and set up restrictions—don't let him wreck Moon-Gazing Peak too!"
Jiang Wu Xu suddenly remarked casually.
Hearing this, Su Qingshuang, Jiang Taixing, and the others nodded vigorously.
Yuqiong's track record was etched in their minds.
Months of womb cultivation—he'd wrecked their home, the Mu Family's, and Granny Xi's…
They didn't want Ancient Heaven Sect to be next!
