Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Don’t hold your breath at this moment…

Little Chuzao was still lying on Amos's shoulder, his eyes beginning to look a little dazed.

Amos felt the little guy's body temperature rising little by little, and his big clear amber eyes became a little sleepy, as if he could no longer hold on and slowly closed.

Amos pulled open the little guy's clothes a little to let out some heat, and looked at the little wings sticking to his body with a bit of heartache. The whole cub became a little listless after losing the 'brain' it had grown.

It's somewhat similar to the situation before he grew a brain.

"Zao Zao, can you hear daddy?"

Amos' voice seemed relatively steady. They had encountered something like this before. Xiao Chuzao's mental power was different from that of ordinary crown clan members. The mental power characteristics he had mastered since childhood were also very rare and could not be inferred by common sense.

But Frey and the others subconsciously looked at Amos.

No one could be sure whether Amos was truly calm at this moment.

After all, for some time before this, Amos had been so quietly stressed that he wouldn't let the cub leave his side at all.

This small starship that had been falling behind the Saint Cass Empire warship was slowly entering the cabin and returning to the interior of the warship.

"The medical room is ready."

Frey spoke quickly.

"We are leaving the contaminated area at full speed and returning to Saint Casti Star as quickly as possible."

In the royal court, there is the most detailed inspection.

At this moment, this small starship had been damaged by more than 30% in the process of avoiding attacks from alien beasts and isolating from pollution.

It was the first time that Finny saw the little guy holding someone else's halo.

Even though it was just a small piece, Finny couldn't help but tremble a little at that moment.

He looked at the halo above the little cub's head flickering, and more dark gold appeared, like a circle, outlining Xiao Chuzao's halo bit by bit, but it had not yet connected.

He took a deep breath.

Look at the little cub and then look at the disheveled Hel and Morlo on the other side.

"Is this... what they call a halo?"

And the next moment.

The cub suddenly turned into a small white ball in Amos' arms, its little head drooped down, and it completely lost consciousness. Xiao Chuzao's halo suddenly lit up, pulling all the crown clan members present into the past.

Including Morlo who was in a coma, he was also having a very long and strange dream.

This was the first time that Finny had seen such a scene.

When the cubs' emotions and mental strength fluctuate strongly, they will be brought back to the unforgettable past that the cubs have experienced.

And in most cases, reality has a certain connection with his past, like when Frey told him that what Hull saw was the scene of little guys looking for teachers one by one, and then being rejected one by one...

What Amos saw the most was the images of cubs being excluded and ignored, hiding and crying secretly...

…

The images they saw were connected together and remembered as a whole.

Finally, it circled several times in some unknown place - the realm of angels.

Finney had never felt a sense of involvement before.

He had never seen the little guy crying because of being rejected, nor had he seen the little guy's back with its wings drooping. All he could see were those texts and pictures. Maybe he himself was not normal.

Finny knew that he was different from his brothers and sisters. He had a strange personality and many of his emotions were pretended, so he seemed moody. He had a natural insensitivity to emotions. If he were not a member of the Crown Clan, he might be one of the many notorious "local tyrants" in this galaxy.

Maybe the angels are pretty bad, but when Finny thinks about it carefully, he has a subtle feeling that his true character might be even worse, so he has always been less aware of the situation of the little cub.

Until now.

He saw the border between forest and grassland.

He had read other Crown Clan's descriptions of the Angel Realm before, and could roughly determine that this was the so-called situation of being pulled into the little guy's past.

Finney saw something really, really small—a furry ball.

The little fellow wore a familiar golden crown on his head and walked forward step by step.

He even walked a little unsteadily. The small wings behind him were not fully developed and could not fly at the moment. He just shook them gently to maintain balance.

Algae...?

It’s really a small one.

Finny thought.

Then he saw Xiao Chuzao's destination - an adult angel with a golden, round halo and a smile on his face that seemed gentle and loving, but a little elusive upon closer inspection.

That's not the look you give to a cub.

Finny quickly realized that this angel was silently judging and glancing at the little white ball not far away, and that it was not a look of kindness.

Until Xiao Chuzao arrived in front of the archangel.

Another excitement, the cub turned into a white ball among the little angels. After being exclaimed and avoided by the little angels of the same age, he came to find the archangel in confusion.

The little cub tried hard for a long time before he turned back into a human.

The human-like cub was very, very small, well-behaved and soft. It sat on the soft grass, with a white and soft face that was a little gray, and a few tears stubbornly condensed in its big amber eyes.

"Archangel..."

He was at that age when his voice was still babyish and his speech was still unclear.

"Why is Algae Algae... different?"

No one wants to grow algae.

They all have families...Zao Zao doesn't.

"Yeah, why are you different?"

The Archangel paused for a moment before speaking slowly.

"But actually there aren't that many differences. You see, you also have wings and a halo, but the shape of your halo is different from that of other little angels, and you can't take it off. It turns into a little white ball."

The Archangel smiled and said, "Perhaps, if you can try to be more sociable, and make a little more effort to be more angelic, you will find your family."

The little cub's soft white hands slowly grasped the small halo above its head, with a bit of confusion in its eyes.

"But Zao Zao has tried it... and it gives you a headache..."

"That's only temporary. Look, aren't the other little angels fine?"

The Archangel said.

"If you look more and more like a little angel, I will help you ask some more angels to see if they are willing to adopt you."

The little cub looked up at the archangel blankly, "Really?"

"Really? It's getting late. Why don't you go back early?"

Finny, who was watching from the side, kept frowning.

He realized that the angel was judging the danger level and trying to assimilate and suppress it.

Instead of driving away the alien or explaining things clearly to the little guy, this so-called archangel is trying to induce the little guy to assimilate the alien's characteristics, get used to the suppression, and move closer to their group.

At this moment, Finny sensed something strange about the scenes he had seen recorded by other Crown Clan members before.

The entire angel race spread the word that he was a little monster, and no one accepted little Chuzao. However, the little cub encountered many setbacks, but he still tried hard, thinking that he might be accepted, have friends and family, making meaningless attempts, and then being repeatedly suppressed-why?

Because of this silent temptation.

This is just a cub... that was born not long ago.

Finny's fake playful smile disappeared, and his grip tightened little by little.

He looked at the little cub sitting in the grass, crying, with its little wings drooping. He once had the same fearless spirit as the newly born little crown clan. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and held his little halo.

He used some strength, and finally he started to have a headache and his tears fell even more violently.

"Algae... Algae can't be picked..."

If I had seen a young cub taking off the halo before, it would have been terrifying, but now - there was only anger and endless sadness.

Finney couldn't help but step forward: "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense!"

Finny's crown appeared at that moment, and angry wings instantly spread out behind him, trying to cover the embarrassed and crying little cub in his wings.

But it didn't work.

This is only the past.

All the parental anger is useless.

They watched the little cub try again and again, from the headache at first to the point of almost fainting, to eventually being able to slowly pull on the poor little crown.

This age is the age when mental characteristics are formed. The rare ability to control mental strength and emotions is formed through repeated pain at this time.

Therefore, in the entire galaxy, no one else will have the ability like Xiao Chuzao.

But if I could…

"Algae algae! Algae algae has been picked!"

After the pain, the cub held his little halo and went to find the adults in a baby voice, letting the adults see that Zaocao was a normal little angel.

But no one cares.

Finney felt that his mental strength was about to be out of control.

If possible - no Crown Clan would want their cubs to have such abilities and traits.

At this time, the little cub had just been born from the Angel Fountain not long ago. He had not found his relatives, and no adult angel was willing to adopt him. The place where the cubs were lived and cared for after birth was about to welcome a new little angel, so they could no longer live here.

The other little angels went home with their parents or adoptive parents, leaving only the little cub as the only one left.

His small figure stood alone at the door, holding the small halo that he had finally taken off, and just looked out the door -

Only Zao Zao is left.

The little wings behind the cub drooped and flapped weakly.

Finney heard the choked baby voice: "But didn't Zao Zao... take off her halo?"

But nothing happened.

He is very obedient.

He offered his courage, his perseverance, smoothed out his edges, and obediently moved closer, only to discover in confusion that it seemed like no one in the world loved him.

He still has nothing.

"Hasn't Zao Zao done the right thing yet?"

“Don’t be like this…”

Finny gritted his teeth slightly and watched the little guy walk out of the small room behind him alone. He didn't know where to go.

At that time, his real family had no news about him, no idea of ​​his existence, and didn't even know where this damn Angel Realm was.

He was just a tiny, tender cub.

Finney only felt that the sourness seemed to spread from his heart to all parts of his body, causing him to spasm unconsciously. It was an emotion so strong he had never experienced before.

The little cub was very small and walked on the road looking somewhat pitiful.

Finney wanted to pick him up, wanted the little guy to hold on a little longer, it was almost there, just hold on a little longer...

It's no wonder that such a small cub, who is constantly being hit, would retract his curious hands and feet from exploring the world, looking at everyone around him warily, yet decisively treating his own kind as family members.

Because the temptation he received was like this, only when they were the same could they be a family.

No matter how powerful a Crown Clan cub is, it is impossible for it to grow up healthily in such an environment.

But did the cub degenerate?

Birds flew across the sky and landed on distant treetops, and their young chicks chirped softly.

"Okay, then Zao Zao can build a home for herself."

Finney looked up—

The tiny cub puffed up his cheeks, wiped the tears from his eyes, and placed the halo back on his head, his small wings fluttering quickly, barely allowing him to fly up and hug those dry branches.

The cub had said it himself—he wanted to make everything better, and he was glad he could help.

Even though it was a tough time, he found his family.

But you are a cub of the Crown Clan, and you should be their darling.

You are our baby... You don't need to go through these things...

Xiao Chuzao influenced their mental power to quickly gather.

Wait until all the crown clan members come to their senses.

The commander of the Ninth Army, Ye Ming, who came with him, stood not far away with his men and did not dare to approach.

This starship docking bay is in a state of disrepair.

The mental power of all the Crown Clan members who saw this scene exploded - they exploded while being awake.

The starship next to it was docked in a shabby state. Needless to say, the extent of the damage was so severe that the special cabin was directly torn off, and the equipment inside made a crackling sound and fell next to Amos.

Amos's expression could not be seen clearly. The wings behind him spread out and gathered towards the center. He held the unconscious little white ball in his arms. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, but his movements as he held little Chuzao were still gentle.

He squeezed out a few cold words from between his teeth - "Angel Realm."

Archangel.

"Behind that pollution, is there a possibility..."

Fei Man raised her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

"Although I also hope so, the probability is very low. Hundreds of years ago, before the pollution was completely divided, although I don't know the situation over there, it was once another ordinary star field." Anya leaned against the wall with his head down, "But I think we can continue to explore outward and look for relevant clues. Since this place exists, we will find it-"

The so-called angelic realm.

Finny stood there coldly and in a trance. He reached out and touched his beard.

"First……"

Frey looked at the starship equipment he had pulled down in a trance, and paused for a moment before speaking.

"Check Zao Zao first, and then go back for a detailed check. Ye Ming, come and help, send He Er and Morlo to the medical room."

Morlo is still in a coma.

Because of the drastic emotional fluctuations and the fact that his body was too weak from the pollution caused by the loss of his wings, Hull fainted.

"yes!"

Ye Ming looked at the Crown Clan's yet restrained destructive power with fear and trepidation.

It almost made a big hole in the starship.

We haven’t even left the contaminated area yet!

And what did he see—His Highness Morlo?

His Highness Morlo...is back alive?

*

The starships of the Sancas Empire quickly left the danger zone.

It is now a bit far from the Saint Cass Empire.

They have not yet returned to the Imperial Star, but are on their way back.

Melen and Kaman have already dealt with the matters on the neutral planet and are about to return to Saint Casti from the neutral planet.

The cubs always maintain the appearance of small white balls.

It curled up into a small ball, covered itself with its little wings, and fell into a deep sleep while holding its little tail.

There were no major problems with the data checks, except that the previously active mental power had dropped a lot.

As for the crown of spiritual power that the cub grew, there is a reasonable speculation.

The cub can control its own mental power, including that of other people. When it saw that Amos had problems, the cub tried to grow a "brain" for Amos, but it was not used. This power was stored little by little and played a role in Morlo's halo.

Of course, these are all speculations about Xiao Chuzao's mysterious and powerful mental power. More detailed data can only be judged after returning to Saint Casdi Star.

The little guy was sleeping to regain his strength. His high fever subsided after a short while. He was still very clingy and insisted on sleeping in Amos's breath. Even when Amos wanted to hold him for a physical check-up, the little cub whined and whimpered and seemed about to cry in his sleep.

It's like treating Amos as my own ghost bear, and I won't feel safe without him.

In the end, Amos didn't have the heart to do anything else during this time. He spent most of his time leaning on the pillow, letting the curled up white ball shrink around his shoulders and neck. Amos could feel the warm breath of the little cub.

Amos was also informed by the medical staff that little Chuzao might not be fully awake when he wakes up, so he should be allowed to adapt little by little and not be accidentally scared at that time, otherwise the little guy would be prone to nightmares in the future.

Inside the medical room on the other side.

Hull has been awake for half a day.

Morlo was still lying quietly in the medical cabin.

But the steady and strong heartbeat told Hull one fact - the lover he had lost for several years came back alive.

"How is the algae situation?"

Hull's face was pale as he looked at the medical team members who came in to give him medicine.

"I've checked it out. The little prince is in good condition now, but he's in a coma. His Majesty is with him. Your Highness, you've been injured a lot, so you should get some rest. Also, this painkiller isn't working well for you anymore. Would you like to try this?"

The member of the medical team looked at Hull, who was also covered in wounds, carefully. He placed the painkillers on the table and quietly left the room without disturbing him too much.

Only at this time did Hull let out a long breath, he leaned his head against the wall and covered his eyes with his hands.

fine……

Algae is fine——

Great, Zao Zao is fine——

If anything happened to Zao Zao because of him and Morlo, he didn't know how he would apologize...

The medical cabin quietly opened a small gap at this moment.

The gentle Crown Clan member lying in the middle, wearing Hull's coat, slowly opened his eyes.

A tear rolled down the corner of his eye.

"Hell..."

The weak voice brought Hull back to his senses in an instant, and he stood up and approached the medical cabin.

"Morlo, are you awake?"

The tears at the corners of Morlo's eyes fell one by one.

"I seemed to have had a... very long dream, and you were not in the dream... A long, long time passed, and it seemed that someone had done something to my crown... Finally, I seemed to have dreamed of a strange little crown family - Hull, Hull - that was the crown pattern of the Dwight family. What was His Majesty Amos doing? Where was that? Why was there no crown family by his side?"

"That's Zao Zao, the cub of His Majesty Amos. The matter is complicated. I will tell you slowly later—"

Heer looked at Morlo gently.

"He saved you and saved me... He is our miracle. You need to rest."

Morlo looked up and saw Heer's red eyes.

"Hell..."

Heer lowered his head and leaned closer: "You say."

Morlo was a little confused: "You look so miserable... and why are you a crybaby?"

Hale: ...

"Are you sure you want to argue with me just after you woke up?"

Morlo blinked and quietly looked away: "I feel... a little unreal now... Am I not heading towards my predetermined destiny?"

'Fate' had told him to give up countless times.

Hull stretched out his hand and held Morlo's hand.

"Yes, Morlo, we finally rebelled against fate—"

At the same time, Saint Cass Emperor Star.

A meeting is being held without the Crown Family.

"Do you know anything about the little prince?"

A minister spoke excitedly.

Because the Crown Clan did not publicize it, there were not many Saint Cass people who actually knew about Xiao Chuzao's existence before that live broadcast.

Peng Yue also sat at one end of the long table. He looked at a silver-haired man not far away.

The main seat and the seats nearby were all empty, and this person was sitting at the highest point.

"His Majesty has requested that this be kept secret for the time being. Speaker Cheng, I think we should arrange for His Majesty and His Royal Highnesses to return as soon as possible."

"You are right."

The man sitting over there finally spoke. He gave a kind smile and seemed a little dazed.

"Your Highness...this is really unexpected."

This is an old minister who once served His Majesty Clancys, the father of the previous Crown Clan His Majesty Amos. He is the Chairman of the Chengxuan Council and the oldest person in the Royal Court of Saint Cass.

He has the deepest feelings for the Crown Family and His Majesty Clancys.

However, his relationship with His Majesty Amos is average.

Because he is also in charge of another project - to find and train more talents who can stabilize Saint Cass after the complete extinction of the Crown Clan.

The meeting was adjourned.

Cheng Xuan raised his foot and walked in front.

He was considered a very old man. He strode forward and finally stopped by the window, looking out.

"speaker?"

The members behind him asked in a low voice, somewhat unsure of the Speaker's attitude.

"very nice--"

Cheng Xuan sighed.

"A new little crown clan."

He was so grateful, yet a little worried. There was only this one little prince, and based on the information gathered over the past few days, this little prince was a little different from the other members of the crown family and seemed more gentle.

Can he lead San Cass?

Your Majesty, what should I do? Cheng Xuan thought to himself.

*

A day had passed when Saint Cass returned to the starship, and there was only half a day left to reach the Saint Cass Imperial Star.

The little cub was still clinging to Amos, soundly asleep.

Amos wasn't the only one in the room at this moment.

There were several other people, all of them staring at the small mass of blood on Amos' neck and shoulder.

The little guy was about to wake up, and was moving his little body little by little, with his soft little paws pressed against Amos' face, and his sleeping posture became increasingly unrestrained.

Amos didn't know when he woke up, but Amos always remembered not to scare little Chuzao. He didn't move, but stared at his eldest brother and younger siblings with knife-like eyes, signaling these guys to get out.

A group of Crown Clan members pretended not to see it and stared at the soft white ball without blinking.

Until the dim golden crown on the cub's head lit up for a moment, then slowly became brighter, he drowsily opened his big amber eyes that were misty with water, and groped forward in a daze -

Zao Zao, where is this?

What's the situation now?

Amos subconsciously held his breath and closed his eyes to prevent the cub from being scared by the sudden eye contact.

Feeling the little claws touching his face.

The cub was dazed and couldn't react.

The little ball slowly got up, stretched hard in front of everyone, and then stared blankly at the face in front of him -

Oh... is it Baba?

“Ouch~”

The cub let out a soft whine, stepped on Amos' face twice with its little paws, and slowly moved its little head over - why wasn't there any response from Papa?

Woohoo! Let's see if you can still catch your breath.

Amos closed his eyes and held his breath waiting for his cub to wake up.jpg

The kid who just wants to hang out with me:...?

No, yes, exhale, inhale.

The kid was confused.

“Ouch!!!”

Beep beep!

The little dragon's tail suddenly became red.

The crown clan reacted instantly - although your original intention was good, don't hold your breath at this time, Your Majesty!!!
