02. Xiao Chen

“Where is this? Is this hell? Or heaven? Am I really dead?” Asked a confused Xiao Chen. He could not see anything around him especially since his body could not move.

“Ah! It seems that I am really dead. Is that how my life ends? Ugh?” Xiao Chen, who could not see anything, felt something touch him. He did not know the origin of the hand that touched him but there was an inexplicable warmth from the touch.

“Warm! Ah, why does my heart feel peaceful? Is this the so-called peace after death?” Xiao Chen thought, still not knowing what had happened to him. 

While Xiao Chen was still wondering whether he was really going to hell or heaven, on the other side, a couple was smiling happily. The husband seemed to be touching the wife's belly and putting his ear to the wife's big belly in order to hear the voice in the belly. Moments later the husband smiled happily, he could clearly hear movement from inside his wife's belly.

“Honey, it looks like she's moving? Hehehe, can't my son wait to see our world?” Asked the husband to the wife with a little joke.

“Of course, after our child is born, give him a life full of happiness!” The wife replied with a smile full of anticipation for the birth of her child.

For who knows how long, Xiao Chen managed to open his eyes and the first thing he saw was the face of a middle-aged man. The man's face was handsome, his clothes also looked like old-fashioned clothes and on the side of the bed was a beautiful woman who looked exhausted. Xiao Chen realized that he had just been reincarnated and reborn in a new world.

“Look... Ce'er, our child is really handsome! His face is similar to yours and his eyeballs are black like mine!” Said the middle-aged man showing the newborn Xiao Chen to the woman on the bed. 

The woman looking at her cute little baby felt her heart warm. How long had she waited for this day? This moment in her life was a mother's true happiness. The woman stroked Xiao Chen who seemed to be quiet and then cried on his own. It was then that the middle-aged man was forced to give his son to the wife for breastfeeding. 

“What's going on? Why am I even! Ahhh! This is so embarrassing!” Xiao Chen said in his heart when he saw that he was breastfeeding on a woman's chest. 

“HM? Honey, what do you want to name our child?” Asked the woman called Ce'er. 

“Well... Of course, as I promised you before, if our child is a boy, it will be called Chen. Xiao Chen, isn't that nice?” Xiao Chen's new father replied as he smiled proudly at his son's face.

“Xiao Chen is it? Chen'er, welcome to your new family. May you be the happiest child in the world!” The mother smilingly petted the little baby. 

The whole Xiao family was so happy when they found out that Xiao Chen had been born that they threw a big party, and even though the party was over, there were still some people in the Xiao family who celebrated by drinking. Of course, Xiao Chen's father also took part in the drinking, so he completely forgot that his wife was struggling with little Xiao.

And while the Xiao family was in bliss, there were some groups outside who were troubled by the birth of the Xiao family's child. Even the majestic grand palace at that time was in turmoil because of Xiao Chen's birth. They seemed to be at a loss for a way to solve the problem but they really did not know what to do.

“What should we do, Your Highness?” The man called noble did not answer, he was also thinking about how to respond to the birth of the Xiao family's child.

“Let's take a look and see first, we can't make a quick decision right away. After all, it is the Xiao family we are dealing with!” The noble replied with a calm look on his face. 

.......

“Ah! It's been one year since I was born into this world. I had no idea that the world that I could only read about in novels and comics actually existed!” One-year-old Xiao Chen has started to sit up and crawl. He was currently trying to stand and walk, although he had memories of the past but with a small body like this, it was very difficult for him. Xiao Chen did not expect that he would be born into a family that he had been waiting for for a long time, and that during his lifetime he could only look at other children with parents and feel their parents' love. Meanwhile, he himself only lived by working hard in order to survive that cruel world.

“Ba! Is mom's child hungry?” Xiao Chen saw his beautiful mother carrying porridge and immediately assumed the demeanor of a child his age. It went on until Xiao Chen was three years old, where he could already walk and talk, and Xiao Chen had already started learning to read at the age of three, so the Xiao family highly valued Xiao Chen's character. 

“Hm? It seems that this is called the continent of gods. Hey, this place is really a place where gods reside? Cultivator? It seems like a cultivator is a person who cultivates to improve his realm, it does correspond to a novel on earth. So, humans can also become strong, right? Hehehehe, should I ask father for something like cultivation techniques?” Xiao Chen's mind was already completely mature from the others, of course it was because of the reincarnation that happened to him. All of his past memories were still there so Xiao Chen's nature was not like that of a child at his age. Xiao Chen vigorously closed his book, then went out and took a walk in the courtyard where he lived. Some of the servants saw that the cute Xiao Chen respected and loved him, so every time Xiao Chen passed by they would greet him politely.

“Haa... How am I going to get the cultivation technique from father? That damn father will definitely not want to give it to me, even if I show my abilities for what they are!” He talked to himself thinking of ways to obtain cultivation techniques from his family. Although Xiao Chen's father was the head of the family, there were some conditions for being able to start cultivation in the divine continent.

“Eh? Young master, what are you doing here?” a group of servants approached Long Chen and one of them was a servant who used to help Xiao Chen, he was surprised to see Xiao Chen lying on the grass which he thought was dirty.

“Ah! Sister Hua, how are you?”
