Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Amos seems a little stressed

The child spoke in a tender little voice, his little body was shaking, his voice was suppressed, and he was able to just snuggle into Amos' arms, being firmly protected by his wings.

The tip of the thick wing just touched the soft, furry little wing, especially the drooping half of the wing. Amos didn't dare to touch it. A strange temperature that didn't belong to him came from the junction, from the tip of the wing, to the spine, and then to the heart - stirring up waves of tremors that he didn't know whether it was anger or regret.

The cub tried to be strong for a long time, just because of those two words of his...those two words that were hypocritical.

Amos' heart seemed to be broken.

With strange emotions swirling in his heart, he could only squat in front of the cub - even if he squatted in front of the little guy, he was still a bit taller than the little guy. He leaned over slightly from above, went around the little wings, and hugged little Chu Zao tighter and tighter, but was very restrained and would not hurt him.

He lowered his head and leaned directly into the cub's ear.

"It's Dad's fault."

Little Chuzao buried herself in Amos's arms.

Amos came in a hurry.

In fact, all this happened in just half a day.

He seemed to still carry the icy aura of Saint Cass, including a faint smell of gunpowder and blood.

This smell was not very pleasant, especially to Chu Zao.

Although he has only lived alone for five years, Xiao Chuzao has experienced a lot on his own and he has a lot of survival instincts.

Such an atmosphere represents crisis and trouble.

In the past, if the cubs smelled any sign, they would run away without hesitation.

But this time it was different. In this atmosphere, Xiao Chuzao felt a strange sense of security.

His tears fell uncontrollably in such a breath and temperature, and his little wings were so numb from the pain that he didn't even have the strength to move.

Is what Zao Zao did right?

Is Zao Zao doing well?

Zaozao likes it here—Zaozao likes it...Zaozao likes it, baba.

Xiao Chuzao heard Amos's voice was very soft, as if his body was being treated as a fragile item, and someone tentatively found a fulcrum and gently lifted it up.

"Zao Zao is very strong, but she can also cry even when she is strong - I need to solemnly correct you on the following points."

The emperor of the Saint Cass Empire spoke to the cub he was slowly holding in his arms as if he was issuing an authoritative document of the empire.

"First, as a father, I failed to take good care of you. This is my fault, not yours.

Second, because I had never seen the cubs, I was lucky enough to think in terms of cultivating talents, which led to your sadness... and my sadness. This was also a mistake in my cognition.

Third, letting you hear those words that I said but meant what I said was also my fault, making you feel uneasy and causing you to feel that you have to go through the storm and be strong at the age of five, which is not true. "

Little Chuzao folded his little wings and sat in his father's arms, his clear big eyes full of tears.

The delicate little face looked soft, pretty and harmless, the tip of her nose was rubbed red, and she tilted her head back to look at him.

"I hope Zao Zao can give me a chance to correct these mistakes."

Amos spoke softly while holding the cub that had been out of his sight for most of the time and almost got into trouble.

Through the ups and downs?

Amos successfully spent most of the day to determine that he might really go crazy, as long as his mental power was not out of control.

"So, it's okay to cry."

He lowered his eyes and observed carefully, and could see a hint of tenderness.

The more he spoke, the more the cub, who was already unable to hold back his tears, could not hold back any more.

Little Chuzao looked like an ordinary child at this moment. He whimpered twice and hugged Amos's neck.

This time the crying was not as suppressed as before, but it was still full of grievance and fear.

"Grandpa Meilun... wuwuwu... Grandpa Meilun... he hasn't woken up yet. Grandpa Meilun's temperature is so low. Zao Zao is scared..."

"Dad is here."

Amos' voice was soothing.

The cub was too tired, and although the halo above his head was still golden, it was obviously dimmer.

As he cried, his eyelids slowly drooped.

He heard someone sighing in his ear.

"Go to sleep, Zao Zao."

Um……

The cub didn't know whether he responded or not. In the familiar atmosphere, because his parents arrived in time, the cub was not further affected. The highly nervous cub quickly relaxed and fell asleep.

The little face gradually became quiet and stable. Amos was not only familiar with Xiao Chuzao's face from the video, but he had also seen some of the scenes when their spiritual power crowns collided before.

Amos raised his eyes and looked around.

The miners seemed to react - they recognized Amos.

Wen Qingfeng, Wen Qingyu and others' hands were shaking.

They just found out that Chu Zao was the little prince of the Crown Clan, but now - Chu Zao was Amos's cub? Wouldn't that mean he would be the next emperor?

They didn't have time to think too much. By the time they reacted, they were already shaking with excitement and saluted.

"Your Majesty! The 78th Mining Guardian Squad of the Sancas Mineral Planet reports to you! The mine guarding mission is completed, and we are willing to offer glory to the Holy Crown!"

The halo of Amos's crown was quietly suspended above his head, and the broken edges also carried a deep glow, like the crown of an ancient kingdom. He was not excited by such enthusiasm, but remained calm and steady as always.

"You have protected the hopes of my crown family, and you deserve to be rewarded."

Behind him was the sound of the Imperial Army approaching.

The army of the Saint Cass Empire was much slower than Amos. They landed in an orderly manner, controlled the thieves, and some people came to negotiate with the miner team.

Although Amos had no intention of hiding the matter of Chu Zao, he did not make it public because the Crown Clan was a very conspicuous race. The Ninth Army only knew that His Highness Melen was missing, but did not know about the existence of little Chu Zao.

It was not until Amos flew across the atmosphere that he, for the first time, was a little anxious and carefully protected a little guy.

The little fellow drooped his snow-white wings, and a golden halo could be vaguely discerned...

So they are also looking for a Little Crown Clan... No, wait, what??? Little Crown Clan???

Amos arranged for someone to pick up Melen.

She turned and left, holding the little cub in her arms.

Although they came in a hurry this time, the entire Ninth Army was mobilized, and all starships were of the highest configuration, including treatment equipment.

Little Chuzao had many wounds on his body and was wearing ill-fitting, loose clothes. His little wings were not in the worst condition that Amos had expected, but were only dislocated and had a few scars.

These wounds were not serious and would heal quickly with simple treatment, but these were secondary. The most important thing, and what needed to be figured out, was what had happened to the little guy before - Melun's halo should have been shattered, but now he was brought back in good shape. Apart from several wounds on his body that were deep enough to see the bones, Melun's overall condition was pretty good for a race with strong recovery abilities like the Crown Clan.

However, the halo above the cub's head dimmed a lot.

There was no problem with the mental power test for the time being, but Amos was still a little anxious.

Outside the medical room.

Several military medical personnel looked inside cautiously.

This is really an unimaginable scene - a five-year-old cub is sleeping soundly in Amos' arms, with his little hands pulling a corner of Amos's coat, wrinkling the fabric.

But their Majesty, who had always been cold and seemed not very sociable with other crown families, didn't mind at all. He lowered his head and straightened the little guy's feathers one by one.

——It’s like the adult bird is too distrustful of its own young’s grooming skills, so it takes advantage of the chicks’ sleep to groom the clumsy young’s feathers bit by bit.

This scene is a bit too tender.

"His Majesty."

The commander of the Ninth Army, Ye Ming, strode over, stood in front of Amos, and saluted neatly, but soon, at Amos's signal, Ye Ming lowered his voice.

"We have determined which thief organization the other party belongs to. It is the Falcon Thief Organization, which has been destroyed many times but the leader has never been caught. Leader Falcon, should we continue searching in this star field?"

Ye Ming looked at the little cub lying in Amos' arms with a little caution and curiosity.

This was a situation he had never imagined.

But before he had time to think about it, he was interrupted by the anger in Amos's unusually calm voice.

"search."

Ye Ming looked up in surprise.

His Majesty and the princes of the crown family all consciously control their emotions. Amos has been in power for such a long time that he has left an impression of being calm and steady on his subordinates.

Anyone who saw Amos at this moment, saw his terrifying eyes, and the crown that appeared and disappeared because of his anger, would no longer associate these two words with him.

Whether it was the Anthem organization that targeted the Immortals, or the Falcon Thieves organization that specifically wanted to make Saint Cass unhappy, there was no doubt that they were all on the Crown Clan's hunting list at the moment - and according to the information he had received, several princes who had failed to intercept the Anthem organization were on their way.

Ye Ming understood what was going on and decided to get to the bottom of it: "Yes!"

*

When Xiao Chuzao woke up, it was already night on the mineral planet No. 78 of Saint Cass.

All the starships of the Ninth Army of Sancas are quietly lurking outside this planet.

The house was also dark and quiet.

Xiao Chuzao blinked his eyes.

He had just woken up and was still a little groggy.

He slept on his stomach with his little wings spread out.

The parents had worked hard to spread the baby's wings, straightening the feathers one by one, and then spread them out and draped them over the baby's body. As a result, when the baby woke up, his wings were numb.

Xiao Chuzao didn't feel the existence of his little wings at once.

He blinked.

Why?

Where are Zao Zao’s wings?

Zao Zao's wings were injured before, why doesn't she feel anything now?

And where is this place?

Where's the babbling?

The cub panicked for a moment, and then the halo that had completely dimmed because he was asleep suddenly lit up.

The chubby little fellow reached out and skillfully took off the halo, trying to hold the halo back to see the condition of his wings clearly.

The little guy's movement instantly woke up Amos, who was sitting not far from Chu Zao.

In fact, the little guy didn't wake up that night.

He was very tired, and as the overall examination showed no problems, he slept until the next night.

Throughout the entire day, countless teams of the Ninth Army were searching for the whereabouts of the Falcon Thieves Organization and had destroyed many of their gathering points, but they had not yet figured out the location of their leader.

Frey and Anya had also arrived. They looked at the cubs and hurried away to carry out their mission.

Amos did not go out. During these two days, he stayed in this room with the cub and Melen who was lying on the medical bed behind him.

He dealt with some paperwork for a day and a night. The parents, who were also extremely nervous, gradually relaxed after a day and a night and took a short sleep.

In this incident, Xiao Chuzao was actually not that affected. He had some symptoms of nightmares, but they gradually eased. Because it was handled quickly, there were no major problems. But Amos was affected - his mental strength once soared to an unstable level.

Amos heard the sound and opened his eyes. He saw the little ball holding his crown halo and using it as a flashlight to look at his little wings. Then he didn't know what he saw, and he was tilting his head to study his little halo.

——Open your eyes and be struck by lightning.

Who taught you to use the halo for lighting? Or take it off for lighting!

Amos exhaled and turned on the light.

The little cub holding the halo blinked his eyes, holding up his own halo - he looked in Amos' direction for a moment, tensed for a moment and then suddenly relaxed, then softly said: "Ba Ba!"

Not the cute, fluffy white ball, but a little cub with red lips, white teeth, and soft black curly hair.

He has small arms and legs, and compared to the adult crown clan members, everything about him seems too mini and cute.

The short little hands stretched out from the wide cuffs. This small outfit was obviously not well-fitting. It was made by modifying Amos's military shirt. The sleeves that were just right for Amos were too wide and big to swing around for this little guy.

Amos took another look at the halo in the cub's hand, then stood up and walked over, bending down naturally to pick up the little guy.

"What are you looking at?"

"My wings are numb," the little cub said in a soft and tender voice, looking at his own halo, "I wanted to take a photo, but the halo here seems a little different."

What?

Amos looked in the direction the cub was pointing.

The 'brain', which was very important to the Crown Clan, was held in the hands of the little cub. Amos felt phantom pain because he had not looked carefully just now.

The cub's crown halo is also small. The originally golden halo has lost its golden glow in a small corner, and the color is a little different, but it is still different from the normal halo color of the crown family. The originally bright golden halo has an additional dark gold spot. In fact, it is not very obvious as a whole and can only be seen when you look closely.

The crown halo is a very important symbol for the Crown Clan.

Amos did not dare to be careless and immediately asked the military doctor to re-examine.

But there is still no problem with the values.

The doctor leaves and Amos ponders, watching the cub holding the halo.

Xiao Chuzao was thinking.

Xiao Chuzao's eyes lit up.

Xiao Chuzao stretched out his hand—he began to try to rub off the different colored areas on the halo with his hands.

AMOS: !!!!

Amos finally couldn't help himself, so he reached out and grasped the cub's wrist.

Little Chuzao looked over blankly, her honey-colored eyes blinking: "Ba Ba?"

"Okay."

Stop rubbing your 'brains'.

Amos simply took the cub back into his arms.

Holding the little cub's hand, let the little golden halo float above the cub's head again.

"Then go home and check it again."

The cub was held in his arms, and little Chuzao was quiet for a moment.

go home?

Xiao Chuzao, who was able to adjust his emotions quickly after waking up, was stunned for a moment.

Oh, yes, he is a little angel with a family now.

"So, how is Grandpa Meilun?"

The cub struggled for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but speak.

The little guy was very confident in his own phone. When he was sure that Amos had arrived, he was no longer worried about the other people in the team. But it was different for Melen. Melen looked like he was about to die before.

Xiao Chuzao didn't dare to ask.

He asked quietly after carefully observing Amos's expression.

Amos simply stood up, holding the little guy.

He walked over to the medical bed in the back.

Meilun just lay there quietly, his face looking a little pale.

"Grandpa Meilun——"

Xiao Chuzao called softly, he bent down, put his little hands on the transparent partition of the medical bed, and watched with his big eyes blinking.

"He's fine. His injuries have mostly healed. His aura is intact and his mental strength is relatively stable. It's just that his mental response is a little slow, so he hasn't woken up yet. But he will be soon."

It can be said that Meilun was a miracle brought to them by the little cub.

"Really?"

The little cub didn't look up, still sticking to the transparent partition, looking at Meilun.

"real."

“…”

The cub was silent for a long time, and then Amos heard a very low, soft sob - like fear.

"Very good."

Amos paused. He originally wanted to ask what little Chuzao did when the Melun Crown was broken, but at this moment he hugged the cub again and looked at the tears in the cub's eyes. Obviously, now was not the time to ask these things.

Amos raised his hand and carefully rubbed the corner of Chu Zao's eye - when the cub was still a white ball, he didn't need to pay much attention to it, but after he turned into a human form and was still recuperating, his skin was really too tender.

Any effort Amos made would leave a red mark on that skin as white as milk.

Quite eye-catching.

The little guy's mood became a little depressed again at this moment.

My stomach made a gurgling sound.

Little Chuzao blinked and looked at Amos. His little face flushed. He put his arms around Amos' neck and hid his little head on Amos' shoulder to prevent Amos from looking at him.

The little guy was very close.

The breath fell on the cheek.

The breath is soft and warm.

Cub——

Amos seemed calm on the surface, but with Xiao Chuzao's care, his anxious mood eased a little.

He thought that he somewhat understood why the previous Crown Clan were so obsessed with the cubs.

The Crown Clan without their cubs are indeed strong and cruel, but that is all they have left. They have no restraint or constraints, and their fate is known at a glance, so naturally they have no expectations.

Amos took the cub's milk from the incubator.

Little Chuzao was still unwilling to look up. It was only after Amos sat on the sofa that he got up and held the bottle to drink milk.

Only this time Amos didn't let go.

"Beep?"

Little Chuzao held the bottle and looked at Amos' hand holding the bottle, feeling a little confused.

Amos seemed a little stubborn at this moment.

"I'll feed you."

Oh – but Algae can drink it on its own.

Amos deliberately emphasized: "You are only five years old. You don't need to think about independence and rapid growth now."

The cub blinked its eyes and drank the milk obediently.

He sat in Amos's arms, his little hands still holding the bottle, and Amos had one hand open, holding the bottom of the bottle.

He watched little Chuzao gulp down the cub's milk, his thick, curly black eyelashes trembling as he sucked, and his big eyes looking at his hands with a bit of concentration.

Amos himself was a little hesitant.

Although he wanted to tell Chu Zao about this, but what he said just now - was he a little too absolute? Did he accidentally use an imperative tone?

The parents had no time to regret.

After drinking the cub milk, the little cub smacked his lips to savor the sweetness of the milk, and then said in surprise: "Baba, your hands are much bigger than Zao Zao's!"

The little fellow held out his hand and matched it with Amos's.

There were still a few unhealed scars on his white and tender little hands, but they were so small that they did not even fill Amos's palm.

It came up softly and warmly, and was then held by Amos.

The cub struggled to get its hands out twice, tilted its head, and then looked up with a smile that looked soft and sweet: "Ba ba, you can completely cover Zao Zao's hand with one hand!"

This is the first time the little cub knows how big adults’ hands are.

He is indeed a very strong little baby.

He still had injuries on his hands, and he almost cried when he saw Meilun just now, but he quickly smiled again - he could have been less strong at this age.

A sour and tender feeling filled Amos' heart.

There was a knock on the door of the medical room.

Anya and Frey were standing at the door. They were a little dazed when they saw the loving father and filial son scene in the house.

"Amos."

"Second brother."

As they talked, they walked in and couldn't help but look at Chu Zao's little hand held by Amos.

——Is it that small?

The cub, who looked a little chubby, blinked his big eyes and looked at them.

"We found another gathering point of theirs. It should be not far from their lair."

Frey spoke first, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke in a more formal tone.

"Your Majesty, I have something to talk to you about in private."

Amos nodded slightly, let go of Xiao Chuzao's hand, and stood up.

Amos and Frey walked a short distance outside the door.

The door of the medical room was not closed, and little Chuzao, who was sitting on the sofa, could stick his little head out to look in.

Anya stood at the door, and Amos and Frey did not walk far, and Amos's eyes were always on the inside of the door.

This feeling——

Frey was a little unsure.

He always felt that the little cub didn't seem to have any big problems, but Amos seemed a little stressed.

"Your Majesty, your mental strength was at a dangerous level last night. You need to calm down and release it appropriately. Don't damage the crown halo due to emotional fluctuations."

Before Amos could speak, Frey spoke again: "This is the center of the Ninth Army's starship cluster. Anya and I will not leave until you come back. Anya has already realized her problem. It was our arrogant mistake to lose our precious cubs before. We will ensure that this place is absolutely safe. Your mental strength may also affect Algae."

Amos's eyes moved slightly.

"I know."

He walked back into the medical room.

Amos squatted in front of Xiao Chuzao.

"Dad will be gone for a while, four or five hours at most, as he has some things to deal with. Zao Zao will stay here, and let uncle and younger uncle follow, okay?"

Little Chuzao seemed to hesitate for a moment, mainly because the little cub glanced at Anya, with the little wings behind him drooping, a little reluctant.

But he also saw that Frey specifically talked to Amos, so there must be something going on.

Finally, Xiao Chuzao nodded: "Okay."

Amos then stood up, with all his suppressed anger in his heart, ready to go find these ignorant people to release them, and come back quickly.

Little Chuzao tilted his head and stared at Frey and Anya.

In fact, little Chuzao wasn't that familiar with them yet, so the little cub looked a little reserved.

Anya paused, as if he wanted to say something, but he found that the little guy's eyes would look at him and then quickly look away.

After the cub disappeared, when he found out that Meilun was still alive, Anya admitted that maybe there was indeed some conspiracy, but Chu Zao was undoubtedly an unprecedented miracle for their Crown Clan.

He squatted down.

He seemed to want to apologize, but this man could never say anything nice, and all the sounds were stuck in his throat, making his face look not very good.

Frey was watching from behind, curling his lips, and wanted to kick him aside.

If you can’t hold it in, don’t say anything. Can’t you see that the little guy is nervous?

Xiao Chuzao was indeed staring at Anya who was approaching with a bit of nervousness.

The little cub didn't know what this guy was trying to do.

He raised his little hand and moved it back slightly.

Just about to speak.

Anya on the other side looked at the little hand and thought of the scene he saw when he just entered the door.

Your hands are so small?

His head twitched and he subconsciously clenched his fist and touched Xiao Chuzao's small hand.

"I……"

Zaozao:?

Anya's words got stuck in her throat.

Because after Chu Zao was touched, she quickly took off the halo with her other hand and hit the back of his hand again. Before he could react, she ran to the other side of the sofa.

Quite silky.

She was still paying attention to him and raised her own little halo: Zao Zao is also very fierce!

Seeing that Anya's hair seemed to droop all of a sudden, Frey sneered: You deserve it.
