Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

The Basilica Cistern was really very breathtaking. The entire Basilica Cistern was 140 meters long and 70 meters wide. Three hundred and thirty-six 9-meter-high Collins-style stone pillars supported the huge brick vaults, which were said to have been transported from the temples of the Antalya region. In the city of Istanbul, there were numerous underground palaces, but the Jelebatan Groundwater Palace was the largest of them.

Surprisingly, there were not many tourists at the place that day.

Tong Hua could see the fish swimming in the water.

No matter how intelligent he was, he was still but a child.

He would still be childlike.

Furthermore, Shen Qianshu never raised him up as a lonely genius kid.

Tong Hua’s heart was filled with adventure and curiosity.

“Mommy, this place is so stunning.”

“Yeah, how stunning.”

Ancient buildings like these could get people engrossed and curious.

It was said that the place was so full of water that it could provide enough water for the people in the city to drink for a month.

In the inner parts of the place, there were two white jade columns with the head of Medusa. They were surrounded by coins from various countries.

The sound of water droplets and Medusa’s low-pitched sound intertwined into a unique ghostly atmosphere.

Tong Hua threw a coin.

He clasped his hands together and mumbled something to himself.

“Oh, Tong Hua. That’s something new.”

No matter where this little rascal went, whenever there was a place where people threw coins, he would give a cold humph and claim that it was a scam.

“Mommy, according to myths, the King of the Ocean Poseidon lusted after Medusa but could not get her love, so he raped Medusa. As she had lost her purity, Medusa could no longer follow Athena around. Furthermore, Poseidon was Zeus’s younger brother. The infuriated Athena vented all her anger on Medusa and made her become a devil with snakes for hair. Later, the son of Zeus, Perseus, beheaded Medusa in order to rescue his mother. Since then, she has been in the Basilica Cistern and became a redemptive body. As long as she fulfills the human wishes, she can be resurrected, so there’s a high chance of wishes being fulfilled if they are made around her.”

“Wow…” Shen Qianshu said and clapped her hands. “You know a lot about Greek mythology!”

“Of course! I’m a genius!”

“So what wish did you make?”

“I wish that Mommy and I will be together forever.”

“You wasted a wish. Of course we will be together forever.”

“And I wish that Mommy will find a nice gentleman that likes Mommy and loves Mommy. A gentleman who can beat Ye Ling to death.”

The men in black were speechless.

Little Master, how brave of you!

Shen Qianshu was at a loss of words, and she caressed her son’s head.

“Never see Ye Ling again!” Tong Hua humphed.

The men in black were speechless.

Well, that’s awkward!

Shen Qianshu looked at the men in black around them, feeling like they constantly looked constipated.

Shen Qianshu held onto Tong Hua and walked towards the exit slowly. Tong Hua was happy along the way. He was very ambitious and wanted to take photos while hugging onto the pillars. He was very joyful, just like an ordinary child. Shen Qianshu was running after him constantly.

Until they reached the exit and saw Ye Ling.

There were not many people at the exit. The night in Turkey was a little cold. Ye Ling was in a white shirt and casual pants, leaning onto a stall by the exit. His body was like jade, and among the Turkish faces, his stood out from the crowd, attracting the attention of many people and making them turn their heads to look at him.

How handsome!!!

He seemed a little tired and was about to doze off while standing. Zhong Ran, who stood beside him, asked him if he wanted to eat a chestnut but was violently hit on the head by Ye Ling. Feeling wronged, he touched his head and squatted at a side while eating his chestnuts. Seeing Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua, he waved hurriedly.

Little Master, are you surprised?

Everyone was speechless…
