Baima's wish was simple: she didn't want Zhang Qilin to become a person without emotions.
She knew deep down that once Zhang Qilin entered the Zhang family, he would absolutely become an emotionless being.
Therefore, she desperately tried to salvage him. In the end, she decided not to enter reincarnation even after her death, so that she could wait for Zhang Qilin.
Because she knew that only she could save Zhang Qilin.
Human bloodlines are connected. So, even if emotions were completely shattered, even if there was no trace of emotion in his heart.
As long as the bloodline connection existed, as long as she was his mother, she was determined to restore Zhang Qilin's emotions.
Zhang Tian watched this scene quietly from the cave entrance.
Zhang Tian knew in his heart that he alone, or his mother, was not enough to help Zhang Qilin regain his emotions.
Only Baima could.
So, if Zhang Qilin wanted to be like a normal person, he had to come here.
Baima looked at the dazed Zhang Qilin and gently reached out her hand.
Her fair hand took Zhang Qilin's.
Zhang Qilin's body visibly trembled for a moment.
He didn't know what this feeling was. The moment Baima's hand touched him, Zhang Qilin felt an electric shock.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
"Little official, sit, sit with your mother."
"Do you remember me?"
Baima's voice was very soft.
She knew in her heart that Zhang Qilin might not remember her anymore.
Although memories might be forgotten, the bond of flesh and blood, and familial affection, could not be erased.
After Baima finished speaking, Zhang Qilin obediently shook his head.
He truly didn't remember the woman in front of him.
Yet, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
It was very familiar. Zhang Qilin even felt that the blood flowing within him seemed to have been awakened by this woman.
His blood was surging wildly.
It was as if it were boiling.
"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a child born in Tibet. His birth brought hope to people."
"The blood of the ancestral Qilin flowed through him. He was a favored child of heaven, carrying a mission. But there was someone who did not wish for him to live with such a mission."
"She wished that child could live happily like an ordinary person. But alas, it was contrary to wishes. Those people still found him..."
As Baima spoke, she gently pulled Zhang Qilin into her embrace.
She recounted stories of the past.
Zhang Qilin lay obediently in his mother's arms, unsure of his feelings.
But for some reason, his eyes inexplicably turned a little red.
Even though this was his first meeting with her, Zhang Qilin didn't understand why his eyes were red.
He also didn't understand why he didn't resist being held by a woman.
On the contrary, he felt a feeling he had never experienced before; it was a very warm feeling.
"So happy."
Fatty covered his face.
The corners of his mouth curved upwards unconsciously.
It was a delighted grin.
Zhang Tian also felt a sense of warmth.
He also felt that Zhang Qilin's emotions seemed to be recovering.
Zhang Tian felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, anticipating a Zhang Qilin who had regained his emotions.
He also looked forward to Zhang Qilin being able to laugh and joke like others, or at least to be able to smile.
On the scene.
[So heartwarming, is this Xiao Ge's mother? So gentle.]
[Damn Zhang family, if the Zhang family hadn't forcibly taken Xiao Ge away, none of this would have happened.]
[When are we going to the Zhang family drum tower? I'm going to flatten the Zhang family!]
[The one before you is dreaming. You're going to flatten the Zhang family? You'd be lucky if you weren't killed by the evil spirits inside.]
[Xiao Ge is so pitiful, I really hope he can find his emotions with Zhang Tian.]
On the scene, countless people watched the screen. When they saw Zhang Qilin lying in his mother's arms, a redness appeared in their eyes.
Zhang Qilin, who usually remained silent, was now lying quietly in a woman's embrace. This contrast didn't surprise people; instead, it felt very warm.
On the scene, Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Qilin.
Zhang Qilin remained silent, his expression unchanged.
But his eyes held a lot of emotion.
Zhang Tian could tell that he was smiling.
"Hahaha, Fatty is embarrassing, Old Hu is embarrassing, and now it's Second Brother's turn to be embarrassed. Boss, are you planning to lose all the face we've accumulated?"
Fatty burst out laughing.
Zhang Qilin didn't have many embarrassing moments. Now, seeing countless people watching Zhang Qilin nestled in his mother's arms like a baby, Fatty felt a sense of balance.
Hu Bayi flicked Fatty's forehead.
"We were embarrassing back then, Second Brother is being affectionate. What do you know?"
Hu Bayi's hoarse voice carried a hint of annoyance.
Fatty rubbed his head, exchanged a smile with Wang Banyue beside him, and stopped talking.
In the video, Zhang Qilin and his mother talked a lot.
Although most of the time Baima was talking and Zhang Qilin was listening.
Baima was very satisfied in her heart.
It was worth waiting here for countless years.
Thus, a night passed.
Zhang Qilin nestled in his mother's arms the entire night, listening to her stories about his childhood.
He also gradually learned about his past.
The lost memories in his mind also returned in large part.
Zhang Qilin felt a strange sensation in his heart.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
It was so peculiar that he dared not think too much about it.
"Little official, it's been a whole night. Although Mother wants to talk more with you, you should rest now. Little official's health is more important than anything else."
Baima gently stroked Zhang Qilin's hair.
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Zhang Qilin inexplicably felt a sense of sleepiness.
A heavy tiredness suddenly descended upon him.
It was as if his body, suppressed for many years, was finally finding release.
After all, Zhang Qilin usually didn't sleep. Even when he slept, it was only light sleep.
But now, Zhang Qilin felt an unprecedented peace.
He actually fell asleep in his mother's arms.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian understood why Zhang Qilin could fall asleep so quickly.
Zhang Qilin had been in the "ultimate" realm, living without day and night, and his body and mind had endured immense pressure.
After emerging, Zhang Qilin had lost his memory. He lived in tombs every day, and naturally, his body and mind had to be constantly on high alert.
Later, he went tomb raiding with Xie Lianhuan. Zhang Qilin basically never had a peaceful sleep.
And his inner self didn't want him to have a peaceful sleep either; he had to guard against the dangers around him.
Now, back in his mother's embrace, Zhang Qilin's body and mind were finally liberated.
"Boss, Second Brother is sleeping so soundly. Fatty is almost moved to tears."
"If only Fatty's mother were still here."
Fatty covered his mouth, lying on the ground.
"You rascal."
Zhang Tian didn't know what to say.
Fatty mumbled, his eyes also showing a hint of longing.
Zhang Tian had never met Fatty's mother either, and it was probably difficult to see her in the future.
Zhang Tian didn't say anything else. In this era, just surviving was a great feat. Who could afford to wish for so much?
"Little Master Zhang, look! Xiao Ge's face seems to have gained some color!"
Suddenly, Wu Tianzhen exclaimed.
Zhang Tian quickly looked at Zhang Qilin.
Indeed, Zhang Qilin, who had a frozen face, now had some expression on his face!
