After the Bamboo Spirit with a Baby Frames the Overpowered Dragon Protagonist

·

Liu Qizhu is a bamboo spirit. Just after taking human form, he is transported into a cultivation novel and gets a bamboo-spirit baby.

The baby only eats things rich in spiritual energy, and Liu Qizhu is soon eaten out of house and home, fretting until his leaves are about to fall off.

Then he finds a gravely injured man who seems to have lost his memory, and looks ninety percent like the baby.

In the novels Liu Qizhu has heard about, the overpowered hero always grows strong and rich, and his wife and children are treated well.

On impulse, Liu Qizhu holds the baby's freshly washed face and says, "Husband, you're finally awake. The baby and I were worried sick."

The overpowered hero stares at him for a long time, expressionless, his eyes dark and deep. Liu Qizhu is terrified. Just as he is about to apologize, the other man suddenly smiles and softly calls him, "Wife."

Liu Qizhu doesn't notice the menace hidden in those two words. Delighted to have landed himself a wealthy backer, he diligently sets about supporting the family.

Reborn, Yi Hanchuan hates one thing above all else: being deceived. And yet a clueless fool has just come along to do exactly that.

That pretty idiot called Liu Qizhu holds up a baby and claims it's his, but Yi Hanchuan is still a virgin, and the idiot is a man. No matter how much the baby looks like him, it can't possibly be his.

Claiming he hasn't recovered, Yi Hanchuan watches coldly as the fool works hard to support the family, trying to figure out what he's plotting.

But the longer he watches, the less he can stand by. He takes over the burden of providing for them.

Forget it. What kind of scheme could an idiot come up with? He'll keep him around for now.

After a while, Yi Hanchuan starts to suspect the father and son are trying to eat him out of house and home, and racks his brains trying to earn spirit stones.

Later, Yi Hanchuan discovers the baby really is his biological child, but the idiot seems not to know. He spends every day on edge, terrified Yi Hanchuan will discover the truth.

Yi Hanchuan raises an eyebrow and decides to tease him a little.

But he takes the teasing too far, and the man runs away.

Consumed with regret, he searches the entire cultivation world, but can't find him anywhere.

After running away, Liu Qizhu and the baby turn into bamboo and take root in a bamboo grove, planning to wait until Yi Hanchuan ascends before coming out.

But after waiting and waiting, Yi Hanchuan still hasn't ascended. Instead, someone pulls him out of the ground and gives him to Yi Hanchuan.

Liu Qizhu: ...

This is bad.
