The Universe’s Number One Healing Baby

At the still of the night, a raging and destructive spiritual force surged forward with great momentum. It seemed to hesitate at one point, but the hesitation quickly dissipated and it continued its ruthless assault.

Outside the isolation room, Zhan Xi, who had erected a spiritual barrier, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell to his knees with a thud.

He raised his hand, his fingers searching for the door handle of the isolation room, and hoarsely pleaded, “Boss, stop, please stop--“

The overwhelming spiritual force of Zhan Rao was too strong, and if he continued to lose control like this, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhan Xi’s words had no effect. Inside the isolation room, Zhan Rao’s eyes were bloodshot, and he growled low, with no trace of sanity left in them.

Zhan Xi could guess everything that was happening inside the room. He knelt in front of the door, pleading weakly, “If you don’t wake up, everyone will die, and the baby we brought back will die too!”

“Boss, he is the only baby we have on this barren star.”

The barren star was the most barren planet in the entire galaxy, with a small area, poor environment, and high danger. The people living here had complex identities and extremely poor mental conditions. They had no offspring and did not want to give birth to any in such a place.

The baby that Zhan Xi brought back was the only one on this barren star for so many years.

The more Zhan Xi thought about the soft baby that would snuggle into his neck, the more despair he felt. The baby was too small, and if it encountered Zhan Rao’s spiritual attack, it would die helplessly.

The little baby that Zhan Xi was thinking about had already encountered the raging mental force. He closed his eyes tightly, and on his soft and puffy face, his expression seemed like he was about to cry.

“Wu--“

The little body of Jian Ning curled up, waiting anxiously for someone to hold him, but the adult he was waiting for did not come. Instead, he was met with a sky-covering mental attack.

The terrifyingly violent mental power engulfed him completely.

Jian Ning’s small body curled up and shook. In the next second, he closed his eyes and a soft and subtle mental power emerged quietly. This delicate and fragile mental power was like a new sprout on the grass after the rain. The sprout trembled and swayed its leaves, and when it touched the aggressive mental power, it was not afraid at all. Instead, it wanted to stick to it.

The sprout stuck to it and the two mental powers mixed together, slowly replacing the violence with gentleness.

After pacifying the crazed mental power like a wild lion, the sprout’s tender and weak mental power then captured other mental.

The sprout tried hard to stick to it.

After an unknown amount of time, everything finally settled down.

Jian Ning in the bed was so tired that he didn’t move at all. Tears hung on his long and thick eyelashes and fell onto his cheeks, making him look miserable.

Originally, he was crying because he had a stomach-ache, but he became dazed and tired from sticking to the aggressive mental power for a long time. He fell asleep before he finished crying.

Jian Ning fell asleep and the others also fell back into their sweet dreams.

The door of the isolation room opened.

Zhan Xi looked at Zhan Rao walking out, his expression both surprised and doubtful. They looked at each other for a long time, and Zhan Xi asked, “What’s going on?”

Zhan Rao’s mental power recovered so quickly for the first time, and Zhan Xi’s injured mental power also received some repairs. Although this repair was not complete, it was enough to surprise Zhan Xi.

Zhan Rao’s face was tense, and he shook his head.

He truthfully replied, “I don’t know.”

He had a feeling that his violent ment al power had been suddenly moisturized, but he had no idea why this happened. It was completely beyond his comprehension.

The two of them couldn’t find an answer, and for a while, they remained silent.

Seeing that he had recovered, Zhan Xi felt bored spending the late night like this, so he took the initiative to speak up: “Boss, shall I go back first? You should rest early too.”

“Okay.”

After saying goodbye, Zhan Xi hurriedly left. He placed the baby in his room, so the first thing he did when he got back was to go to the bed and check on the baby.

The bright incandescent lamp on the bedside was turned on, and the overly bright light caused the baby’s eyelids to tremble.

Zhan Xi caught the baby’s expression and silently made a mental note:

“Tomorrow, I need to change the light to a gentle night light.”

Under the bright light, Jian Ning’s small face and clothes caught Zhan Xi’s attention: “Where did the milk stains come from?”

Zhan Xi was puzzled.

Just as he was wondering, Jian Ning, who was still closing his eyes, spit up a few more mouthfuls of milk, soaking his collar with white milk stains.

Zhan Xi: “...”

In the middle of the night, Zhan Xi had to carry the baby and look for someone.

After some fussing, the person who was called up had a dark face and gave Zhan Xi a yellowed parenting book and a diagnosis of the baby’s condition that night: “You fed him too much and made him vomit.”

It would be strange if he didn’t vomit after feeding him a whole bottle of milk at once.

Zhan Xi thought about the large milk bottle he had hung around the baby’s neck and what he had intended to do - to feed the baby more so that he could grow up healthy - but he didn’t expect that his efforts would backfire, and the small seedlings he had pulled out would wilt.

Jian Ning snuggled in Zhan Xi’s arms, was fed a little digestive medicine, and for once, he didn’t make a fuss with a pouty face.

The next day.

Sunlight shone through the window and spilled in carelessly.

Jian Ning rolled over from being sunburned, facing his butt towards the window, but after a while, his butt also became hot from the sun. The little guy, uncomfortable with being sunburned, opened his eyes in a huff.

His stomach was no longer bloated, but his temper had risen.

The sound of a tantrum began, and Zhan Xi, who had just finished showering in the bathroom, walked out with only a pair of pants on. He was tall and well-built, with clearly defined muscles, and water droplets clung to his body. Even just standing there casually made it hard to take one’s eyes off him.

Unfortunately, the newly awakened Jian Ning didn’t appreciate it at all. He clutched his little toy and threw it to the ground with a snap.

Zhan Xi raised an eyebrow.

He bent down and picked up the toy.

Jian Ning looked at the toy, then scowled and threw it again. After throwing it a few times, the action of throwing the toy became slower and slower. Finally, the toy was held in the chubby little hand without any movement.

Zhan Xi lowered his head and poked the young baby’s small face, smiling and saying, “Are you done being grumpy now?”

Jian Ning: “...”

Jian Ning clutched the toy, blinked, and then opened his arms and said, “Ah!”

‘Hug!’

Zhan Xi picked up the young baby, holding him with one hand on his chest and looking through him with a knowing expression. “You’re acting cute now that you’re done being grumpy, but I’m not falling for it.”

Jian Ning didn’t know if he understood this. He just hugged Zhan Xi’s neck and left a slobbery kiss on his face.

The little baby drinking milk powder had a natural smell of milk all over his body, but at this moment, the smell of medicine was mixed in.

Zhan Xi ignored the slight medicinal taste and his eyes were full of smiles, obviously enjoying the affection from the baby’s kiss.

“Okay, okay, you’re smearing me with saliva.”

Zhan Xi complained with his mouth, but did not wipe off the saliva on his face. When he walked out of the room and met someone, he casually complained, “The baby is too clingy. Sigh, it even likes to kiss me. Look at my face, it’s been kissed...”

Zhan Xi complained in a seemingly genuine tone, causing the people in front of him to twitch their mouths.

“This clingy baby is not lovable. Come on, give it to me. I’ll help you get rid of it.”

“Get lost.”

Zhan Xi’s boasting ended with a black face and cursing. Not only did he curse, but he also fiercely kicked the person who wanted to snatch the baby.

After kicking, the little Jian Ning in his arms also kicked his legs in imitation.

Zhan Xi, who lacked parenting knowledge, did not notice that the baby in his arms was curious and imitating him.

Not long after, Jian Ning was taken to a house full of books. There was no one in the house, and the bookshelf was covered in thick dust. He watched as Zhan Xi pulled out an old book from the back of the bookshelf.

“This is it.”

Zhan Xi found the book and murmured, “The Complete Book of Naming Practices on Ancient Earth.”

Jian Ning was too small, held in Zhan Xi’s arms, and looked like a small pendant from afar. He hung in Zhan Xi’s arms and while the other went to find other people.

Several people who had returned from the spacecraft together gathered together to name the baby.

Zhan Xi took the lead and said, “I heard that during the ancient Earth period, people there named their babies based on auspiciousness. We should learn from them. By the way, I have already found the most commonly used names for babies among them. You can choose one.”

“Ranked first is Gousheng, followed by Goudan, Huzi, and Dazhuang. These names are all popular, but personally, I think Goudan sounds the best,” said Zhan Xi.

As soon as Zhan Xi finished speaking, the young baby in his arms began kicking angrily.

Zhan Xi held the chubby little foot and remained steadfast in his opinion, saying, “If you don’t have any objections, we’ll use the name Goudan.”

Jian Ning: “...”

The sensitive young pup instinctively sensed that something was wrong and kicked his small foot hard.

In the end, Zhan Rao was the one who stopped Zhan Xi, saying, “This name won’t work. It sounds awkward to me. Isn’t there a dictionary? Let him look it up himself.”

Under Zhan Rao’s decision, a dictionary was placed in front of Jian Ning.

The adults had already pre-selected certain words, leaving only some surnames and words with good meanings.

Jian Ning grabbed the book with his chubby hands.

Whether it was coincidence or destiny, the two pages he grabbed happened to contain his original name.

“Jian - Ning.”

Zhan Xi looked at the definition of the two characters and muttered, “Ning means peace. This name is okay, but it’s not as good as Goudan.”

With the name settled, Zhan Xi hurried off to read parenting books.

Meanwhile, Zhan Rao spent some time with the little genius baby, asking a few questions to gauge its reactions. However, whether he asked the wrong questions or something else was at play, the little baby looked at him blankly in response.

Zhan Rao frowned. “You don’t understand what I’m saying?”

Holding the milk bottle, Jian Ning nervously gulped down a few sips of milk as he looked at the bearded man in front of him.

The man’s brow furrowed, his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Jian Ning felt a bit lost and turned to look for Zhan Xi, but Zhan Xi was reading a book not far away and didn’t receive the signal for help in his eyes.

“Wu...” Jian Ning started crying.

“Don’t cry,” Zhan Rao said.

“Ah...” Jian Ning tried to scream, but Zhan Rao told him not to.

Zhan Rao’s expressionless face was quite intimidating, and Jian Ning, who wanted to call for help, closed his mouth with tears in his eyes when he saw it.

A few seconds later, Jian Ning handed over his beloved bottle while holding back his tears.

Zhan Rao looked at the bottle and actually reached out to take it.

Jian Ning held the handle of the bottle with his chubby hand and did not let go. Although he wanted to hand over the bottle himself, but he was not willing to let go.

Zhan Rao noticed this and glanced at him.

The next moment, Jian Ning sniffed and let go of his chubby hand, watching his bottle being taken away by the uncle.

Zhan Rao had been observing this baby all along. According to his observations, this baby seemed to be less smart than before being on the spaceship. Could it be that the fever on the spaceship had made this genius baby stupid?

Zhan Rao didn’t say anything about his observations. He left after teasing the baby until he was about to cry.

Zhan Xi saw him leave and went back to continue taking care of the baby.

“Baby, why is your little face so red?” Zhan Xi sat down in front of Jian Ning and looked at the baby, who had red eyelids and cheeks, feeling a little confused.

Jian Ning held onto the milk bottle he had lost and then regained and quickly drank up the remaining milk in it. After finishing, he dropped the bottle and cried out, “Waa” with his little face upturned.

Zhan Xi: “...”

Zhan Xi picked him up and comforted him by patting his back gently. “Don’t cry, be good. Were you scared by Uncle just now? Uncle has a reserved personality, but he won’t bully you.”

As it was well known, their boss was never good at entertaining children, and he probably scared the little one with his cold face.

Days passed by, and Jian Ning was trying hard to adapt to the new environment. His activities were currently limited, and most of the time he followed Zhan Xi. When Zhan Xi was busy, he opened the tablet and found some learning videos for him to study in advance.

“Little one, can we discuss something?”

Zhan Xi looked at the little baby sitting on the blanket, holding the tablet, and staring intently at the little prince in it. He took out a toy car to entice the baby. “I’ll give you this car to play with, and you don’t have to watch this baby anymore, okay? This baby has a bad temper and always sulks. He ’ll influence you.”

Jian Ning looked at the toy car, then back at the little prince on the screen. He held onto the tablet more tightly, resolute in his decision.

Seeing him like this, Zhan Xi felt a headache coming on. Just then, someone came over to find him. The people here spoke quite roughly, and after a few words, Zhan Xi impatiently shooed them away. “Get lost. Stop bothering me.”

When Zhan Xi cursed at people, Jian Ning listened carefully with his little ears perked up.

After driving the person away, Zhan Xi kept the thing the person had brought - a new type of learning machine. This type of learning machine was not only expensive but also difficult to find. It was only available in the most developed cities.

He heard that the chief technician who created this study machine was a companion of a member of the royal family. This companion was very ambitious and even used the little prince of the empire to advertise this study machine.

Zhan Xi checked the study machine and found no damage. He turned it on and showed it to Jian Ning, saying, “Come on, kiddo, let’s switch to this equipment and keep studying.”

It was said that the new equipment had the most advanced holographic mode, which not only allowed the child to see the teacher’s lectures more intuitively, but also enabled them to learn and play with other children in the big classroom for kids.

Zhan Xi had not yet explored all of its features and had only unlocked a primary course on teaching children to speak.

However, Jian Ning had no interest in the new study machine.

Helpless, Zhan Xi had to continue exploring and wait until he had fully understood it before teaching it to the child.

“I’ll hold on to this for now. You can continue watching your videos,” he said to Jian Ning.

Seeing that Zhan Xi was busy with the new study machine and wasn’t coming to grab his own tablet, Jian Ning carefully took out his old tablet and continued watching videos of the little prince.

Days passed.

Zhan Xi finally thoroughly understood the new study machine and even paid for a VIP membership and signed up for a class for children. He felt confident and wanted to bring the baby back to try it out.

But the baby had just been taken away by Hua Ya.

As he approached Hua Ya’s yard, he heard a fierce argument coming from inside. One of the parties involved in the argument was a man who had just returned to the barren star. He had been a long-time rival of Zhan Xi’s.

Upon seeing the child in the yard, Zhan Xi’s face darkened, and he strode in.

As soon as he entered, the little baby in Hua Ya’s arms eagerly stretched out his hands, wanting to be picked up by him.

Zhan Xi’s heart tightened as he picked up the little one and checked to see if he had been bullied. After a quick examination, he found that the little one was fine.

However, Hua Ya’s expression was somewhat subtle, as if she wanted to say something, but was hesitant.

After some hesitation, she finally spoke up before Zhan Xi got into a fight with someone else: “Zhan Xi, have you been teaching Ningning to speak recently?”

Zhan Xi frowned and responded with a “yes”. He had been teaching Ningning for a few days now, but there had been no progress.

Hua Ya cleared her throat and informed him: “Ningning just spoke a moment ago.”

Zhan Xi asked eagerly, “What did he say? Did he call sa ‘dad’ or ‘uncle’?”

Hua Ya remained silent, and Zhan Xi was filled with excitement. He guessed all the words he usually taught Ningning, but Hua Ya never nodded or spoke.

Just when Zhan Xi was about to lose his patience, Hua Ya looked at him and said, “Get lost.”

Zhan Xi was taken aback and felt a sense of provocation in Hua Ya’s words.

Just as his frustration was about to boil over, the little toddler who was clinging to his neck repeated Hua Ya’s words in a childish voice, saying “Get lost”.

The soft little toddler imitated Zhan Xi’s tone and even continued to jump and say, “Get lost, silly egg!”

Zhan Xi: “......”

Zhan Xi’s face turned green.

The author has something to say:

Zhan Xi’s face turned green, and he exclaimed, “Help! How do I fix this spoiled kid? Waiting online, very urgent!”
