Chapter 546: The Truth RevealedHis eyes trembled as he pushed the woman’s skin to distance himself and ponder the notification.
However, his baby’s hands sunk into her breast’s soft texture, forcing him to accept the situation despite the shame burning his cheeks.
With a deep inner sigh, he closed his eyes to escape the mound engulfing his vision and focused on the notification.
’Arun told us that consuming enough magical beast meat can increase stats. Is this what’s happening? Can I now train like Julius instead of relying on levels to become stronger?’

With no way to absorb mana as a ghost, he had relied on potions. Yet, he lost that method after his dream place’s body’s destruction during Kwame’s ritual, leaving him stuck on the third tier.
’But now I can progress like everyone! I only need to train my body and absorb mana and Qi!’
His heart hastened in desire as more notifications resounded in his ears. On the fifth, he felt bloated with potent milk and pushed on the woman’s breast with urgency.
Catching the movements, she raised him before her face and peered into his sky-blue eyes before the corner of her lips rose subtly.

Until the sky darkened and the stars shone, he recounted his life as a ghost, starting with Gaston and how he got one of the bastard’s eyes. He continued with his adventure in Avaloria Frostpeak and how he got Thomas’ legs. Then, he told her about the third trial and Ignatius. Of course, he skipped the bitter part about Misha’s death and the dream place.

As they smiled at each other, sharing a moment of intimacy and mutual comfort, Lin Zhongguo remained seated, a hand covering his old forehead and his shoulders trembling as he hid his tears. Even if he couldn’t understand the baby, the woman’s reactions were enough to make him realise that his grandson died unjustly.
After a moment of lamenting, he took groggy steps under the darkening sky. He reached for the kitchen outside, filled a bowl of soup, and handed it to Misha once he returned.
Then, he collapsed on his bed and pulled the blankets over his pale face, too overwhelmed to eat or speak after his last hope of reuniting with his grandson evaporated.
