When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 896 - 350: Aging

Jiuxiao Yun’s gaze was fixed on the baby, and the clothes on the baby began to turn transparent.

Suddenly, the baby, who had been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and turned to look in the direction of Jiuxiao Yun.

In a reflex, Jiuxiao Yun’s gaze met the baby’s, and he was so startled that he shuddered. He had already been straining to use his X-ray Vision, and being startled like this made it fail. The transparent wall in front of him instantly reverted to its original state, and he could no longer see the scene inside the room.

Jiuxiao Yun wanted to slap himself. What was there to fear from a baby waking up? After all, the baby couldn’t possibly have X-ray Vision and couldn’t see him. It was probably just a coincidence that the baby’s gaze landed in his direction.

However, thinking back, those eyes did indeed seem as if they were staring right at him, which made Jiuxiao Yun, who was feeling guilty, jump in fright.

Wiping away the tears of blood that had trickled down the corners of his eyes, Jiuxiao Yun stubbornly used his X-ray Vision again. This time, he immediately looked at the baby carriage, as his eyes were severely strained and couldn’t take any more exertion.

When Jiuxiao Yun looked into the baby carriage, he was stunned.

Little Shuang, who resembled a chubby blue squirrel, was still lying inside asleep, but the baby was nowhere to be seen.

Jiuxiao Yun quickly glanced left and right, trying to spot the baby somewhere in the room, but no matter how his eyes roamed, there were no signs of the baby.

While Jiuxiao Yun was in a state of confusion, he suddenly felt something brush against his pants leg. Looking down, he almost jumped in fright, and his X-ray Vision failed again.

There, clad in a onesie, the baby had somehow crawled to his feet, looking up with big, curious eyes staring at him.

Jiuxiao Yun quickly glanced around, seeing that no one else was around and the house was silent; Li Xiu was still not up. He couldn’t fathom how the little one had managed to crawl out.

"This is a heaven-sent opportunity." Jiuxiao Yun flashed a sinister, uncle-like smile, crouched down, and slowly reached out his hand toward the baby. "Good baby, let Uncle Yun give you a hug."

The baby seemed frightened by Jiuxiao Yun’s lewd smile, shaking his head while retreating backward, clearly very unwilling.

There was no way Jiuxiao Yun was going to let her escape. He suddenly sped up, grabbed the baby with both hands, and lifted her up.

Just as he was about to search the baby for the Blood Seal Stone, to see if Li Xiu had hidden it on her, Jiuxiao Yun suddenly felt a numbness all over and found himself unable to move.

Jiuxiao Yun remained frozen in the posture of holding the baby aloft, his body entirely immobile, unable to even blink, leaving him to stare straight at the baby, witnessing a strange sight.

The baby’s eyes transformed into something like icy jade, emitting a bizarre multicolored radiance.

"What’s happening... What’s with this baby..." Jiuxiao Yun looked at the baby’s strange eyes in horror, wanting to harness his own powers, but whether summoning a magic spirit or utilizing a pact, nothing happened at all.

Amidst the radiance of the baby’s eyes, Jiuxiao Yun realized his body was undergoing a terrifying transformation.

He couldn’t see his own body, but he could see his hands holding the baby. The skin on his hands was aging, and wrinkles appeared on the once-youthful and smooth back of his hands, resembling those of a middle-aged man’s.

Jiuxiao Yun was utterly terrified. If his whole body transformed like his hands, he couldn’t bear such a result.

"What kind of monster is this!" Jiuxiao Yun was filled with regret, wishing he could escape from the baby, but he couldn’t even budge.

Just when Jiuxiao Yun felt his life was over, a voice suddenly called out.

"Baby!" Li Xiu had been observing for quite a while, having noticed Jiuxiao Yun much earlier but choosing to ignore him.

Seeing the baby had inexplicably crawled out and found Jiuxiao Yun hiding outside only piqued his curiosity further, so he remained hidden, wanting to see what the baby intended and what Jiuxiao Yun was up to.

It wasn’t until the baby transformed and Jiuxiao Yun’s body began aging rapidly that Li Xiu hurriedly stepped in to stop it.

Upon hearing Li Xiu’s voice, the light in the baby’s eyes vanished instantly, the icy jade-like eyes returning to normal.

Free from Jiuxiao Yun’s grasp and landing on the ground, he crawled toward Li Xiu using both hands and feet.

Li Xiu reached out and picked up the baby, who nestled affectionately against his chest. Seeing her so adorable and obedient, it was hard to associate her with the terrifying scene just moments ago.

"This baby is clearly not an ordinary human child," Li Xiu remarked as he assessed the baby, then glanced up at Jiuxiao Yun.

Jiuxiao Yun’s body had regained its freedom, but his appearance had changed beyond recognition from his usual self.

Jiuxiao Yun was in his early twenties, quite handsome, and could pass for a high school student with a uniform if needed.

But now, with unkempt stubble and crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes, his skin looked more like that of a man in his thirties or forties.

"How did this happen..." Jiuxiao Yun pulled out a small mirror from somewhere and saw his current appearance, standing there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

"Jiuxiao Yun, why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Li Xiu asked Jiuxiao Yun.
