Five-year-old angel cub Chu Zao grew up alone. He had an unusual halo, jet-black hair, and would turn into a fluffy white ball of a little monster in moments of crisis. As an anomaly within his cla...
Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Zao Zao will also be angry
"Brother Mu?"
Chu Zao looked at Chao Huangmu who was standing on the top of the mountain and spoke subconsciously.
Chao Huangmu was standing on a high place, looking straight over. When he heard Chu Zao's voice, he was stunned for a moment.
Who is...?
Chao Huangmu had no expression, but his head looked as if he had been hit hard, and the mental force behind him was agitated.
Chu Zao rolled over from Desmond and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Zao has been looking for Chao Huangmu these days, but has not been able to find any information about him.
At least we met today.
"Brother Mu!"
Chu Zao waved at Chao Huangmu who was standing over there.
Desmond had already attacked the two dragons without hesitation, but when he heard Xiao Chuzao's voice, he paused. On the other side, the two dragons that were about to attack also flew up in confusion, looking at Xiao Chuzao, somewhat bewildered - what was going on?
Does this alien race know this ferocious god of death?
When Chao Huangmu was called by Chu Zao, he subconsciously took a step forward, until his body fell rapidly in height, Chao Huangmu seemed to come to his senses.
He landed lightly and raised his eyes again.
Chu Zao heard him ask, "Do you know me?"
It was a very strange and cold tone, but in fact, there was a hint of his instinctive disguised smile, and the ending tone seemed to be a little trembling and a little confused.
What?
Seeing Chao Huangmu's relaxation, Xiao Chuzao didn't pay much attention to Chao Huangmu's abnormality for a moment - until this moment.
They were more than ten steps away from each other, which was very close compared to the distance just now, but they seemed even more unfamiliar than before.
Chu Zao stood up and looked at Chao Huangmu with a frown, only to find that he was very different from before.
His mental strength was no longer restrained, but rather released wildly. His expression was less gentle, and he looked very cold.
When the dark eyes looked over, they also had a strange and cold attitude, and were a little irritated. His brows were also frowned, and there were tiny black scales that spread from the corners of his eyes to behind his ears - they looked like dragon scales.
This was definitely not the Chao Huangmu that Chu Zao knew before.
Amnesia?
Something unexpected happened to your mental power?
Or is there something wrong with his strength at the moment?
In Chu Zao's eyes, Chao Huangmu's already somewhat violent mental power was even more ferocious at this moment, trying to destroy everything around him. The whole person seemed restless and looked calm, but he was like a ferocious beast that could not be appeased.
But fortunately, at least no one is hurt.
Chu Zao breathed a sigh of relief.
He took two steps towards Huang Mu, and his headache became more and more severe. The power of that voice even tried to control him to stretch out his hand towards the "stranger" in front of him.
A stranger with a pair of bright eyes, brighter than the gems in his collection.
Who are you?
Chao Huangmu wanted to ask, but his head was splitting as countless images flashed before his eyes—those dark ones that had been forgotten and abandoned.
After struggling, he said something cold: "I don't know you."
"You might have had your brains smashed in."
Chu Zao thought about it carefully, spoke honestly, and nodded.
But it doesn’t matter. Saint Cass has always been excellent in mental medicine, so there will be no problem for him to deal with Huangmu.
Chao Huangmu was about to say something, but was suddenly choked by Chu Zao's words. His eyes, which had been cold just now, now looked a bit like a puppy dog's eyes, and he looked a little confused.
Chu Zao was not used to the cold Chao Huangmu in front of him.
He grew up with Chao Huangmu. Most of the time, Chao Huangmu was like a sunny puppy. He often tried to show off himself and often did some ridiculous things. Although he grew up in the interstellar world with such a background, around Chu Zao, everyone grew up in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Chu Zao had long been accustomed to Huang Mu's presence. He would approach him, and then become dejected when something embarrassing happened. But when Chu Zao said a word of comfort, the sunny puppy would instantly start to relax again, feeling happy about receiving gifts. As he grew up, he integrated more and more naturally into Saint Cass, and the pair of eyes that were always disguised seemed to have warmth.
And now, it all seemed to have disappeared.
"You can't remember the past at all? What can you remember? Do you still recognize me?"
Chu Zao took two steps closer, thought for a moment, and then asked.
The young boy had soft and fluffy hair and a little dust on his pretty face. He stretched out his hand and gestured.
"The first time we met, you were wearing a ruby necklace and you dropped it in front of me..."
Desmond stood behind him and listened to Chu Zao's words. Desmond did not act rashly. Desmond was also observing the guy in front of him.
Is it... a dragon?
But it doesn't feel quite like it, the aura seems a little more dangerous - but I recognize this little guy.
From one place?
And what the hell is this first meeting?
What waist chain did you fall?
Desmond couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chuzao.
Chu Zao simply stepped forward and grabbed Chao Huangmu's hand.
However, Chao Huangmu retreated, and the mental power behind him instantly unfolded, as if a thick shadow condensed behind him, and he instantly flew back several meters.
He pressed his hand on his forehead: "Don't come near me, stay away from me."
past?
Hearing these two words, Chao Huangmu's eyelids twitched slightly.
Zhao Huangmu couldn't judge whether these words were true or not, but he just felt that his head was about to explode. Countless images came to his mind, as if they were the past that was mentioned -
Those once forgotten pictures——
The little boy was punched and kicked, his hands and feet were tied, and he was thrown aside like a sandbag. Blood slowly flowed down his body and soaked his eyes.
He was trembling, with confusion in his eyes as he watched his so-called parents walk on the road of despair and madness. It seemed that the price of their race's powerful strength was to go crazy and get no relief. As the most unstable immortal species, they were madly targeted, causing the already unstable race to fall into the final madness and fight against each other. The number of their race has been very small, and they are almost extinct.
"Dad...Mom..."
The tiny cub was like a rag doll, vomiting blood, confused and frightened. At that time, its dark eyes had not yet been completely numb and cold. The ropes on its wrists and ankles rubbed against the cub's delicate skin, leaving bloodstains.
His parents, who had already gone crazy, had never expected anything from him from the beginning - they were a cold-hearted race to begin with, and had no love or care for their own cubs. Most Soul Clan cubs were born with a certain amount of power, and were usually driven away when they were very young.
But the little cub was not driven away. Instead, it was used by its parents as a carrier to release their brutal emotions. He could not understand it at that time.
He should be their biological child, right?
Why?
Why...?
Looking at his parents' crazy eyes, he curled up silently until the situation became more and more serious. In order to limit the growth of his strength, half of his flesh and blood was even replaced, and his mental strength was repeatedly destroyed.
What happened next?
Chao Huangmu was still in a daze and couldn't quite remember it at the moment - but he seemed to remember the temperature of the hot blood in his parents' bodies falling on his hands. The dark past had never been illuminated.
Oh, that seems to be his past.
Chao Huangmu thought so.
That kind of past... was painful and dark.
The headache made Chao Huangmu frown hard, and his heart seemed to be screaming madly - destroy everything, destroy this guy in front of you who is making your headache even worse.
Yes, he should.
Why do we have to think about the dark past?
but--
but----
Chao Huangmu looked at Chu Zao in mid-air.
How strange.
He clearly didn't know her, and it would be fine if he just destroyed everything, so why was he hesitating?
Behind him, the two dragons almost understood what he said - they didn't recognize him anyway.
These aliens are just trying to get close to us, so why are you still talking nonsense?
The two dragons were somewhat disdainful of Chao Huangmu's hesitation. Although they were younger brothers, they were ready to get rid of Chao Huangmu at any time to avenge their loss. They also collected all of Chao Huangmu's beautiful and dazzling gems.
The two dragons didn't hesitate at all and attacked Huangmu from behind unexpectedly.
Desmond was still waiting for Xiao Chuzao to communicate with Chao Huangmu, but at this moment, he was ready to take action without even raising his eyelids when the two dragons attacked.
But someone was one step faster.
The cold and ferocious young man who had just been thinking about taking action stood in the air. His ferocious mental power surged out in an instant, instantly piercing through the hearts of the two dragons and tearing them apart.
It's like instinct.
Chu Zao had already arrived in front of Chao Huangmu. The young boy stretched out his hand to grab Chao Huangmu's wrist. His little curly hair trembled slightly, which attracted Chao Huangmu's attention but also brought Chao Huangmu back to his senses.
Chao Huangmu retreated again, surrounded by the bloody smell of the two dragons: "Stay away from me."
He spoke again, staring closely at Chu Zao in front of him.
"In the past—for me—"
Chao Huangmu was a little dazed. He felt that he should stay away from the person in front of him and figure out what was going on with him.
“It’s grey and meaningless.”
Chu Zao paused.
"What did you say?"
Chu Zao's originally relieved and gentle expression suddenly became serious.
The wings behind him flapped. Although he was looking up at Chao Huangmu from below, the dim light from the sky fell on his face, and the light in the sky was not as dazzling as him.
Chu Zao didn’t quite understand. Even if he had lost his memory, his personality couldn’t suddenly change, right?
The clear honey-colored eyes deepened a little, and the boy looked a little intimidating without even getting angry.
"What did I say? I said that the past is unimportant to me, and should be forgotten and cut off -"
Chao Huangmu murmured subconsciously amidst those painful scenes. The severe pain tried to make him attack Chu Zao, but he forced himself to hold it back and could only look at Chu Zao in confusion.
Then he saw Chu Zao getting closer and closer. This time Chao Huangmu did not dodge. Instead, he saw Chu Zao clenched his fist with one hand, stretched it out, and hit him hard on the head.
Xiao Chuzao hit Chao Huangmu's head in dissatisfaction.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! If the memory is lost, it's lost. It can be recovered. Cutting ties with the past? How can you really say that?"
Anyway, this is not the first time that Chao Huangmu has lost his memory.
Before coming to Sancas, he had no memory before the age of six or seven.
But what happened in the following years, whether it was the school training, planting potatoes, or the things that happened during these years together, even the kiss on the forehead that he didn't even have the chance to ask about.
Chu Zao was really angry.
The angry young boy suddenly punched the guy who had just killed two dragons so fiercely and efficiently.
"Brother Yun and Brother Peng will both be sad and angry!"
Desmond raised his hand and scratched his head - oh, is this how they, the young people, get along?
"Hello--"
Chao Huangmu was hit suddenly. He was slow to react due to a headache and was hit directly. However, his first reaction was - why does the wind from the hit feel a little sweet?
He retreated towards Huang Mumeng, and just as his face drooped, he saw Chu Zao staring at him.
She seemed to be extremely angry, and her already beautiful eyebrows and eyes were even more radiant: "Me too."
If you say anything about cutting ties with the past, Zao Zao will be sad, heartbroken and angry.
He is already an adult. He is the future king of Saint Cass. He needs to be calm and composed. He wants to smash Chao Huangmu's head until Chao Huangmu remembers!
Chao Huangmu was stunned for a moment, then pressed his eyebrows again. The next moment, before Chu Zao could move forward, the mental power behind him quickly wrapped around him and rushed out in an instant.
Unlike his lazy and casual speed just now, his speed at this moment was very fast, but it was more like a escape.
Chu Zao instinctively stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a little darkness. Chu Zao was stunned for a moment and looked at his hand.
Desmond was cracking his finger bones and wanted to do something right after that, but Chu Zao turned around and said, "Don't hit him."
Although, only Zao Zao can beat Brother Mu.
Desmond's steps suddenly stopped again.
Hello--
Desmond looked up at the little guy, then at Chao Huangmu who had already run far away. He let out a light click of his tongue, as if he couldn't understand why he was listening to the little guy.
Chu Zao looked at the 'little tail' of Chao Huangmu's spiritual power that he was holding, raised his hand to take off his crown, and muttered something while trying to wrap the dark spiritual power that Desmond could not see around his crown.
Desmond: ...
Desmond stretched out his hand, looked at the little guy, and then slowly retracted his hand.
His body shook involuntarily, it was so strange——
Desmond thought - let's not talk about why he listened to this little guy's "command" so much, just talk about his little halo - can this thing be taken off casually? Why does he feel so wrong?
At this moment, Chao Huangmu had already rushed all the way back to the edge of the dragon territory.
His headache seemed to ease a little, and after the severe headache, he began to think about the problem in a daze.
The man said he knew him.
That man actually dared to hit him on the head.
…
That person has such beautiful eyes.
Oh, that's not right.
What should he do?
Why did he think that person had pretty eyes and everything about him was pretty, but at the same time he wanted to kill him?
As it happened, a hapless dragon passed by. The dragon was proudly showing off its strength to the weak creatures around it. When it passed by Chao Huangmu, it roared at Chao Huangmu - Ha, such a weak and pitiful dragon, is still blocking the way here? Let me taste your arm.
Chao Huangmu, who was in a period of irritability, looked up expressionlessly.
A moment later.
“I know your attitude, I understand it!! I’ve had it before!! Ahhhh, stop using too much force, stop using too much force—”
The dragon who was being stepped on by Chao Huangmu spoke in a trembling and flattering tone.
"I often have this kind of thought when facing my partner—"
Companion, partner?
Chao Huangmu was stunned, looking at the dragon under his feet with an expressionless face.
The dragon said everything to save his life: "I often think my partner is hateful, but it fits my aesthetic taste. I always want to kill him--"
On various levels.
Dragons are a very twisted species.
But Chao Huangmu didn't know it, but in the pain he found the final answer very smoothly.
is that so?
companion?
Chao Huangmu knew that many dragons decorated their nests not only to store shiny gems, but more often to attract mates.
If that guy with beautiful eyes is willing to live in his nest, among his treasures, and shine brighter than his treasures.
Ah... that should be it.
Even the wind from his hammer was sweet.
In the midst of someone's lofty aspirations, "I don't need a partner," and in the pain that almost made him faint, Chao Huangmu thought about this, not caring about his own life or death at all.
Yes, I need a partner.
Behind Chao Huangmu, a translucent blood-red eye looked angrily at the man he had chosen, who was very close to the little guy and far away from the group of crown clans, so he could really get rid of Chu Zao.
What is he thinking about?
What on earth is going on in this person's head?
After such despair and painful memories, the conclusion he came to was not to follow his own ideas and destroy everything, but to persist in believing that he needed a partner even though he was in excruciating pain?
A partner who saw a ghost.
Originally thinking that everything was going smoothly and under control in his own hands, the blood-red eyes finally began to become anxious.
He closed this eye and suddenly opened another interstellar eye.
Everything there was reflected in the blood-red pupils.
In the bloody battlefield with broken limbs scattered all over, the tall crown clan member standing on the ruins in the center looked over in an instant. His scarlet pupils even dyed the whites of his eyes with blood, and there was a kind of calm madness.
He raised the silver-black sword in his hand.
The blood-red pupils quickly disappeared at that moment.
The area where he drew strength was being squeezed and destroyed bit by bit.
Believers in his power were being annihilated, and the children born from his power and continuing his will were also dying rapidly.
The situation of being at ease is slowly changing.
It's really - damn -
The Crown Clan—the little Crown Clan.
He was not hunted down by those crazy guys, nor was he backstabbed by that crazy soul clan member.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he is in the Dragon Clan's territory, he has completely occupied it. He can almost swallow up the Crown Clan who have lost everything. The seeds of despair have been planted, and they have begun to collapse and go crazy. He will achieve the final victory and completely swallow them up and make them his power, just like he swallowed up other places in the past, including that small Crown Clan.
The eye slowly closed again, the blood-red pupil twisted and struggled for a moment, and then the surroundings calmed down again.
Chu Zao had already followed Desmond back to the gathering place.
He looked at the black mental power wrapped around the crown. Unlike the mental power threads of the crown clan, this mental power was very elastic, like a rubber band, helping Chu Zao determine the direction and distance towards Huang Mu.
Chu Zao didn't chase after him immediately.
Chao Huangmu looked a little strange, so he had to make some preparations to see how he could restore his memory.
Chu Zao fiddled with the beautiful stones in his space button.
He sat on the wooden steps in front of the gathering place with a stern face.
Dan had just tied up Aneurin and locked him in the house, and when he came out he saw Desmond and Louisa standing at the door.
Then he looked up and saw Xiao Chuzao over there, and he raised his eyebrows.
"What's that little guy doing?"
"Angry."
Desmond glanced at Dan.
He leaned against the door of the room and spoke lazily.
"angry?"
"The one he was with was found, but something seemed a little off."
Louisa is a gentle woman with long hair and warm orange eyes that look a bit troubled.
"It's true that a half-grown cub like this is not very easy to coax."
"Huh?" Dan couldn't help but take a look, then looked away and said nonchalantly, "Why is he holding the ring on his head? Can that thing be taken off? And - why do we suddenly have to coax him?"
Aren’t they all going to be driven away originally?
Having said that, Dan couldn't help but look over there a few times.
He also looked at Desmond next to him: "Is that so? Desmond."
Desmond didn't answer him and simply walked towards Chu Zao.
Dan's eyes widened. "Huh?"
Chu Zao was angry, but didn't know what to do next. Suddenly, something was wrong with Huang Mu, and his eyes and expression were still so cold.
And there’s no way back.
The little guy looked a little depressed, with his curly hair drooping down.
The future king of Saint Cass is still a young boy here, a young boy who is about to have his coming-of-age ceremony.
His mind was still full of thoughts -
Dad will be very worried.
There are also his aunt and uncles, grandfathers and great-grandfathers...
Xiao Chuzao's face puffed up slightly.
Until Desmond sat down next to him.
Chu Zao turned his head and looked at Desmond.
Desmond paused, and finally reached out his hand. This time he didn't pretend to be stubborn, and put his arm around Chu Zao's shoulders.
Chu Zao, who was holding her golden crown, blinked, and the small crown lit up involuntarily.
Chu Zao was still thinking - how strange.
At this moment, he was not very resistant to the other party's approach, and even felt a little homesick.
Desmond was looking at the little guy - he didn't believe in empathy, but he could give the little guy a little comfort when necessary. He had lived for who knows how many years, so he should be able to do it, even if they were already scarred.
But under the dim light of little Chu Zao's crown, whether it was Annelin who was controlled in the house, or Louisa and Dan who were watching from a distance, or Desmond who was sitting next to Chu Zao, they all paused slightly, their bodies seemed to relax for a moment, and a picture seemed to appear in front of them - a tiny cub, very similar to Chu Zao, looking very small, excluded and isolated, treated as a foreign monster, crying with scars on his little face carefully.
My heart was beating violently, as if I had touched something important - what was that feeling?
But soon that wonderful feeling was ignored and Desmond frowned suddenly.
The fleeting image instantly made him overwhelmed.
Chu Zao looked at Desmond blankly.
The young boy asked, "Are you okay?"
Desmond's voice overlapped with the little guy's, and he sounded a little annoyed.
To have the cub whimper like that—"What kind of parent is that?"
Chu Zao:...?
