Chapter 174 Papa

Lu Yi blinked and said in surprise: "Ah, it's you... Viper."

He pronounced the last two words very softly, as if they had circled on the tip of his tongue before being uttered with a smile.

Zorn coughed lightly, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red, and it was unclear whether it was because of guilt or something else.

The mask could not give him a complete sense of security, as reflected in his behavior: Zorn's gaze was always on Lu Yi's chin, always avoiding looking at him.

"It's me. Can you come in and talk?"

Although the voice is rougher and more unruly, if you listen carefully, you can still hear some familiarity in the ending tone, Lu Yi thought.

"It's convenient, come in." Lu Yi pushed the door open a little further and led him in.

"Hazelnut cocoa cookies, would you like to try some?" Lu Yi brought the cookies made yesterday to the table and added, "Although they were made yesterday, they surprisingly have a different flavor after they have cooled down."

Zorn was flattered and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"

"uh-huh."

Zorn immediately picked up a cookie and swallowed it in one gulp.

His expression changed as he chewed several times, but in the end he swallowed the "strange-tasting" cookie in his mouth without changing his expression.

It's hard to describe the taste in the mouth. Hazelnut and cocoa should be the best match, but this cookie mixes together a whole new experience. I don't know if some kind of messy potion was added - using slime saliva and the fangs of the horned beast is no exception.

But despite this, Zorn still lied with his eyes open and praised: "It really has a unique flavor. I have never eaten cookies like this!"

Lu Yi didn't expect that Zorn would drink so honestly, so he immediately handed him some water.

The whole glass of water was finished in an instant, and Zorn was able to suppress the strange taste in his throat.

The pitiful expression under Zorn's mask made Lu Yi feel both amused and guilty.

"Oops, I made a mistake. This is the cookie made by Saman!" Lu Yi said with a look of annoyance, and took out another cookie that looked better.

When baking the cookies yesterday, Lu Yi also tasted Saman’s masterpiece.

As an atypical noble, Saman's cooking skills were exactly the same as those of other nobles on the Isaiah continent. Not only was he not very good at it, he also ran desperately in the opposite direction.

The cookies looked very good when they were baked, and Lu Yi was amazed at the first bite.

He felt that Saman should not bake cookies with the elves here, but should go to the Weeping Mountains to be a traveling merchant - after all, these miraculous cookies could instantly pull people back to reality from the wonderful fantasy of the Weeping Mountains, and it would be a waste of talent to leave them here for them to waste.

Lu Yi gave him face and swallowed a small bite of the cookie. However, Bai, who had never eaten such disgusting food, vomited it out directly, demonstrating what acid reflux was on the spot. He looked at Saman with an innocent face in grief and anger and was speechless for a long time.

This plate of "weird-tasting cookies" was put aside.

Seeing that Masked Zorn came to his door on his own initiative, with the evil mentality of "sharing the hard times", Lu Yi specially brought out the plate of strange-tasting cookies that had not yet been destroyed.

The only unexpected thing was that Zorn actually ate the cookies. He took such big bites that Lu Yi felt stomach acid just watching him.

"Use this to suppress the smell. It won't be wrong this time!"

Zorn was not annoyed at being teased, and still ate the newly handed cookie without hesitation.

Lu Yi seemed to be casually asking, "Come to think of it, why do you always wear a mask? You don't take it off even when you eat, so do you not take it off even when you sleep?"

Zorn calmly replied, "No, I'm ugly and I'm afraid it will scare people."

What a crap excuse, Lu Yi thought. The three young Kleins of their Klein family are all famous handsome men in the capital. Besides, who would care whether a mercenary is ugly or not?

"Oh, I see." Seeing that Zorn was determined not to take off his mask, Lu Yi stopped asking and asked, "What's the matter with you coming to see me so early?"

Finally getting to the point, Zorn also became serious.

"Will you come with us tomorrow night?"

Walk?

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Have you dealt with your affairs? Why are you in such a hurry to leave in the evening?"

"Almost done. There are still some things outside that need to be taken care of in time."

"It's a pity that we haven't dealt with things here yet. It's such a coincidence. Why don't you leave first?" Lu Yi said regretfully.

Zorn nodded, as if he was just asking in passing.

The two of them stared at each other and chatted awkwardly for a few sentences before Zorn said goodbye.

Lu Yi was confused by his riddle-like behavior and sent him to the door with some doubts.

Before leaving, Zorn whispered in his ear, "Stay in your room tomorrow night and don't go out."

——Don’t get involved.

"I swear to the God of Light that what I said is true and comes from my heart. I will never harm you. Please believe me, Lu Yi."

Ignoring Lu Yi's surprised look, Zorn looked at Lu Yi deeply, then turned and left.

Lu Yi watched him leave and stood at the door for a while before turning back to the room.

[“…Did you say he realized that he didn’t hold it tightly just now?”] Lu Yi asked.

[I think he must have realized it.] 857 answered confidently, [Did he look like he was running away when he left just now?]

[“It looks exactly like them!”] Lu Yi nodded in agreement.

My brother, your true voice is out!

[“But don’t go out tomorrow night—”] Lu Yi repeated, [“What does this mean? Are you trying to remind me of something?”]

【“What will happen tomorrow night?”】

The direction of the plot line is completely untraceable. Now that Zorn is telling him so confidently, he must have known something in advance.

[I am a hen too.] 857 replied in the same blank voice.

[“Tsk, it turns out we are the only ones who are kept in the dark.”]

Lu Yi frowned slightly. It was really unpleasant to be in a situation where they were the only ones who had no idea about the impending danger.

[I know this! Menggu people...why don't we take the initiative to find the elves to find out the situation? ] 857 suggested.

[“I think your suggestion is very good.”]

Lu Yi acted as soon as he was told and walked out while silently making up his mind.

He had just started to speak his mind when he was caught off guard and almost bumped into the Elf King outside the door.

The door was still making a creaking sound, and the human and the elf inside and outside the door were all stunned.

The Elf King seemed not to have expected Lu Yi to suddenly open the door by himself. He was slightly stunned and unable to speak immediately.

At this moment, inside the door, Lu Yi's gaze shifted from the tower to the elf cub with his eyes wide open on his shoulder.

The blond, blue-eyed elf cub perked up and spoke first, making the first sound in the picture.

He leaned forward and stretched out his hands towards Lu Yi, shouting excitedly: "Papa——"

Lu Yi was suddenly petrified and froze in place.

857 simultaneously burst out a classic exclamation word: [wocao! ]

The book elder squeezed in from behind the Elf King and said hurriedly: "I have something to say!"

Ta quickly grasped the moving elf cub and thus prevented the cub from falling.

"It's a matter of privacy, and we can't open the door. Can we go in and talk?" Elder Shu asked sincerely.

Lu Yi hadn't recovered from the sudden incident of being called "papa" by a strange cub yet. He pushed the door open with a numb face and said, "Come in."

The wooden door made a "clang" sound when he pushed it, but unexpectedly the elf cub was not scared by the sound. Instead, it became even more excited. It kept repeating "papapapa" in its mouth and kept moving towards Lu Yi.

The Elf King seemed to have never dealt with a creature like a cub before. He had to prevent the cub from moving around and falling, and he was also very cautious for fear of hurting the little cub. For a moment, he was in a panic and looked a little embarrassed.

The elf cub became even more noisy after seeing Lu Yi. It didn't give any face to either the Elf King or the Great Elder. It kept chattering non-stop, as if it wasn't tired at all.

[As expected of an elf cub, you are so energetic! If he keeps yelling like that, the whole Elf Forest will probably know that you gave birth to an elf cub.] 857 said with emotion.

【"Shut up."】

Lu Yi walked to his side numbly, took the cub and walked in very naturally.

He carefully placed the little cub on his shoulder. The cub immediately stopped struggling and happily hugged his neck, giggling.

It’s no wonder that the little cub has soft golden hair and big, clear eyes, and at first glance he does look a bit like Lu Yi.

The Elf King and Elder Book looked at each other and followed him into the house in silence.

The author has something to say:

I was a bit busy the past few days qaq Now I am almost back to updating daily (maybe every other day)
