Chapter 56 Chapter 56 The villain complains first!

I don't know who laughed first.

The little cub who was trying hard to get down got anxious for a moment, and he pushed hard and almost rolled down.

Amos grabbed it.

Little Chuzao crawled in like this and backed out like this. The fur on his body was all messy, and his little wings were also disheveled. But the first thing he did when he came out was to open his eyes wide and look at them subconsciously.

The cub huddled in the hole. He couldn’t hear clearly who it was, but someone was laughing at Zao Zao—

Zao Zao has been hiding for a long, long time, and yet someone actually makes fun of her!

Finney: "Oh my God, no way! Anya, how could you do this? You saw that Zao Zao couldn't get down, and you thought that Zao Zao's legs were too short, so you couldn't help laughing out loud, right?"

A big black pot was thrown over.

Anya turned around in shock: ?????

Fei Man glanced at Finney, and her cold face was a little unsettled.

Wait a minute, it was you who couldn't hold back your laughter just now, right?

Don't tell An Ya about your own thoughts and then try to pin them on her?

Anya, this is too miserable, hahahaha——

What does it mean that the wicked are the first to complain?

It's still a rumor-mongering complaint.

You are really good at describing pictures!

Xiao Chuzao reacted and grabbed the void. All the crown clan members felt their scalps tingling at that moment.

The little guy's Cupid's bow appeared.

It’s over, the algae weapons are about to be deployed!

The little guy first looked at Anya.

Anya was so shocked that he didn't have time to refute. When the little cub looked at him in confusion, Anya quickly explained: "It's not me, I didn't, it was clearly——"

Please help me distinguish between loyalty and treachery!!!

"You said no, then no?"

Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Finny retreated silently and interrupted Anya.

The little guy looked up at Amos.

Amos said nothing, motioning for the cub to make his own judgment.

The cub thought about it.

Then he raised his small bow and arrow and aimed it at Finny.

"Uncle San, Zao Zao is not a little fool!"

Finney: ...

It's broken, not covered.

Anya immediately reached out and grabbed Finny who was trying to hide. Finny, who was shot by an arrow, held the hand of Butler Mori who followed in and expressed his deep love in just two words.

Butler Mori reacted for a moment, realized something, raised his hand, covered Finny's mouth, and smiled: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Finny, I know your feelings, but you are not my type, I'm really sorry, you are a good person."

Finny slowly reacted: ...

Finny's face turned green after he had cheated on his brother countless times.

Everyone else laughed.

Anya couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"No, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard."

This unreliable guy deserves it!

*

A few more days passed. Xiao Chuzao continued to study with Hull in the morning, watched the trio train in the afternoon, and then learned archery with Finny from any of the crown clans, trying to replicate the bow and arrow that burned with black flames.

But none of them were successful.

No matter how it was launched, no matter what the cub thought, in the end it was all golden mental power. The original feeling and the strong destructive power seemed to be short-lived.

That afternoon, Frey and Amos took the cubs to practice.

They didn't go to the training grounds, but simply trained with the three-man team with the little cubs.

Because of Xiao Chuzao's characteristics, when he pulled the bow, the people around him stayed far away from him.

Until the break.

The cub did not study with his uncle these two days because Finny set out with the Third Army on a related mission two days ago. The army sent out from the vicinity of the Bell Alliance star field destroyed two small laboratories but did not find more clues. However, judging from the traces of activities in those laboratories, those laboratories had a certain connection with the Zanth Group.

After the cub finished a round of practice, he sat aside to rest, flapping his little wings behind him and holding his own golden little bow and arrow in his hand.

Amos and Frey stood a few steps behind him, discussing some recent events.

Although no further progress was made, the cub was not so anxious after being comforted by its parents.

He sat on a small stool, his short legs swinging back and forth, and he muttered softly -

"Grandpa Mori said that we can plant potatoes in half a month."

The cubs are looking forward to it a little.

Xiao Chuzao, who had never been able to grow anything, hoped to grow a lush green field.

After all, as Baba said, if you can’t grow anything it’s not because the algae is bad, it’s because the algae didn’t use the right method.

"What potatoes?"

Came the boy's voice.

Little Chuzao looked up and saw Peng Liang approaching after just finishing training. The cub thought for a moment and said, "It's potatoes. They're almost ready to be planted. Do you know how to plant potatoes?"

The little cub sat on the chair and looked well-behaved.

Peng Liang touched the tip of his nose.

"I can't, but my grandfather can. My grandfather is a famous agricultural expert in Sancas."

Peng Liang sat cross-legged on the ground, next to Xiao Chuzao's stool.

With a smile, he said, "My grandfather took care of me when I was little. He knew all kinds of crops. He was a walking encyclopedia. People say that as we grow older, we will feel that adults are not as good as they were when we were little, but I still think my grandfather is super awesome."

“Because it’s already amazing.”

Xiao Chuzao opened his eyes wide and looked at Peng Liang.

"Can I ask my brother's grandfather about how Zao Zao grows potatoes?"

Brother...Brother?!

Peng Liang's back straightened unconsciously. His excited expression made Chao Huangmu, who had not yet finished his training, narrow his eyes.

"Your Highness, yes, you can just call me by my name... As for planting potatoes, my grandfather knows how, but..."

Peng Liang lowered his brows and his smile seemed a little forced.

The young boy, who was originally full of vigor and vitality, now looked a little decadent.

Amos and Frey, who were standing behind Xiao Chuzao, looked over. They just observed the situation here and did not interfere.

"But it's not possible right now... I'm so sorry, little prince."

Peng Liang finally looked up and smiled gently at Xiao Chuzao.

Such a sad smile.

The little cub looked at Peng Liang's expression.

The little guy is already sensitive to mental power and various emotions. Now that his mental power is gradually growing and his abilities are gradually being developed, he is even more sensitive.

But Peng Liang's mood only dropped for a moment before he started laughing again.

"Come to think of it, I haven't personally experienced your bow and arrow, what is it called...?"

"Love and peace."

Little Chuzao raised his small bow and arrow.

"Cupid's bow."

"Will it hurt if it pricks someone?"

The cub thought about it -

"Maybe it won't hurt too much?"

"Hey...can I feel it for a bit? I heard it can help change your mindset. I'll face that side, not the people, and just feel it for a bit—"

So when Chao Huangmu finished his training and walked over, all hot and wondering what they were talking about, he happened to see Xiao Chuzao aiming at Peng Liang with his small bow and arrow, and then shot an arrow.

Chao Huangmu:?

Chao Huangmu had already walked up to them with a bright smile on his face, but he didn't have time to speak.

Peng Liang, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly jumped up, stretched out his hands and warmly hugged Chao Huangmu who was walking towards him.

His eyes were burning and his tone was enthusiastic.

"Amu..."

Chao Huangmu didn't hesitate and punched the opponent in the eye socket.

Broken, dirty stuff.

Peng Liang reacted and covered his eyes and wailed.

"Why don't you just cover my mouth? You don't have to do this, right?"

He smiled at Huang Mu, his face was full of smiles, but his words were merciless: "I'm sorry, Peng Liang, it's just too disgusting."

Chao Huangmu naturally pushed Peng Liang aside and sat in front of Xiao Chuzao.

The cub opened his eyes and looked blankly at Huangmu, then at Peng Liang.

"Is he, is he okay?"

"Of course he's fine, he's in good health, don't worry."

Chao Huangmu replied with a smile.

"Your crown today is so gorgeous and lovely. Praise the Holy Crown."

Xiao Chuzao was praised, and the halo above his head swayed subconsciously.

The smile towards Akira faded a little, staring at the little cub's crown - adorable.

Peng Liang: ... "Hey, don't answer for me. And what is the adjective for tough? Don't use it carelessly. I'm not even eleven years old yet."

Yun Songquan was the last one to come over. He was a man of few words and had a naturally cold personality. He stood there for a long time without getting a word in. In the end, he could only squeeze in a "Oh."

That cold little face looked even colder - so annoying.

Amos checked the time.

"It's about time."

He took two steps forward and picked up little Chuzao.

“Beep.”

The little cub reacted immediately, turned around and hugged Amos' neck, and his soft little body naturally pressed against him.

"Um."

Amos responded, looking down at the cub, then at Peng Liang.

"Peng Liang? Come along, your grandfather has been transferred here from the Imperial Star 10th Medical Center."

Peng Liang was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

*

Peng Liang's grandfather had an accident when he was young.

Although the Crown Clan was also very famous at that time, its influence was not that wide.

Agricultural people, represented by Grandpa Peng Liang's generation, have very high requirements for field and soilless factory cultivation and seed selection. It is very normal for them to look for suitable plants everywhere in the area where they can move.

It was at that time that Peng Liang's grandfather Peng Shengfei met with an accident and his starship was hijacked by pirates. The pirates wanted to kill people to silence them, so they sprayed highly toxic drugs in the starship. In the end, not many people survived, and all of them had serious sequelae and diseases.

Peng Shengfei already had a basic mental illness, which had continued to worsen since then, and he was able to hold on until this time only with the help of Saint Cass's medical treatment.

This is the outstanding talent of Sancas.

Amos had once awarded him a medal, and when he got the news, he came over with little Chuzao in his arms to visit him.

It was mainly a problem related to mental power. He wasn't sure whether Zao Zao, who possessed the ability to control mental power, would have any special reaction.

In the clean white room, a thin old man was lying on the hospital bed. He had gray hair and was sleeping quietly.

Peng Yue, the current head of the Peng family, was standing beside the bed, and Peng Liang had also been in there for a while.

It was very quiet in the ward.

"The situation is not good. Elder Peng has a mental illness and has nightmares every day. This time his assistant, the disciple he received, disappeared, which probably caused a chain reaction in Elder Peng's mental power. We originally tried to control Elder Peng's physical values ​​and stabilize his mental power. As Elder Peng gets older, this has become increasingly difficult. Now, drugs and existing technology can't handle it... It's unknown whether Elder Peng can wake up now."

The medical member whispered to Amos who was standing at the door.

Amos nodded in response.

"Treat him as much as possible. If Mr. Peng is in a lot of pain, discuss it with Peng Yue again."

Fei Man also received the news at this time and came here.

Releasing Finny might have a good effect, but we can't just rely on Finny who might get lost along the way.

After Amos and his team confirmed that the Anthem organization was involved in this matter, they decided to send out another small team to investigate the nearby area.

Fei Man came here for this matter, but she didn't come closer, just stood at the door and listened.

Peng Yue didn't say anything when he heard this. Peng Liang turned around at that moment, his eyes turned red, his hands clenched tightly, and then he lowered his head again.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. Grandpa has been having nightmares all the time. He has always said that it was his fault. Although he fainted very suddenly this time, Grandpa must have been thinking about it for a long time... thinking about being free and not having to suffer like this again."

Little Chuzao struggled a little in Amos' arms.

Amos put the cub down.

The tiny cub hesitated for a moment, then took small steps towards Peng Yue and looked up at him.

The little cub didn't say anything, just looked at him with a pair of big watery amber eyes, and then looked at the bed - Xiao Chuzao looked carefully, and saw countless messy and distorted mental powers that gradually dissipated, like a twisted black fog - struggling in pain from beginning to end.

The cub had seen too much pain like this before, both from the Sancas and from his own family.

So sad——

It was just like him before, struggling to be pulled up by someone, but no one could pull him up.

The cub carefully stretched out his little hand and held Peng Shengfei's dry hand covered with tape.

At that moment, the cub's little crown flickered, and the little guy saw that the distorted black mental mist seemed to calm down a little.

Not only Amos and Fei Man felt the fluctuation of spiritual power in the room, Peng Liang, who was closest to the bed, also saw his grandfather's dry hand move slowly, and he gently held the little hand that was placed on him.

Xiao Chuzao wanted to do something else, but the crown of the Crown Clan was a special medium. The cub could control mental power and process the crown, such as spelling it out, speaking directly into the other person's mind, etc. But for ordinary people, their mental power was too scattered, and the cub did not respond with more space.

The little cub blinked slightly, withdrew his little hands, and looked down.

Amos glanced at the medical team members. They were conducting rapid tests, but in the end, they shook their heads slightly.

Amos stepped forward, reached out and picked up little Chuzao.

But Peng Liang was only a ten-year-old boy after all. No matter how precocious he was, he was still too young. What he had just said was already his limit. At this moment, seeing his grandfather's hand move slightly, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, reached out, and gently held his grandfather's hand.

"Are you awake?"

His voice was slightly choked.

"Although I think you've been so tired on the way, it's already this long, you need to have a good rest, I understand, I understand, but - but - I still want to hear you call me again. Didn't you also say that you would wait for me to come back this summer, and then go to see the flowers and trees we planted together?"

"I still remember you carried me on your shoulders and took me to pick flowers and fruits. Those were the happiest times of my childhood. At that time, I felt that you would never fall down."

Peng Yue starts from the side.

But someone nearby gasped.

The pair of dry hands slowly raised up and gently stroked Peng Liang's head.

Peng Liang's tears fell at that moment.

His cloudy eyes slowly opened and he exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Liangliang."

Peng Shengfei tilted his head slightly, looked over here, and then slowly looked in the direction of Amos.

He met Xiao Chuzao's big, clear eyes.

"Grandpa seems to have had a very long nightmare--"

In his dream, he kept thinking that if he had not decided to take all the researchers out, so many people would not have died at that time. He had been struggling in such a nightmare, accepting it silently from beginning to end, and would soon never wake up from such a nightmare again.

But in the end, there was a very soft and light voice calling him gently, and the surroundings calmed down, as if a small hand was pulling him little by little - in the nightmare, he felt tenderness for the first time.

Then came the voice of his little grandson.

"But in the end, the nightmare seemed to be me walking on the path along the ridge with little you——"

"grandfather!"

Peng Liang came forward in an instant.

Amos took a few steps back, holding little Chuzao, and left the room.

Give them space to speak.

Amos and Feyman looked at each other.

With the little cub around, Fei Man looked a little heavy, but she still leaned over and pinched the little guy's face.

The cub didn't hide, but stretched out his hands and got close to his aunt.

Fei Man's eyes widened slightly——

Ah, Zao Zao looks like she wants a kiss from her aunt!

Xiao Chuzao: ...

Little Chuzao shrank back into Amos's arms.

"I will go on this operation?"

Fei Man asked softly.

Then he pulled the corners of his lips.

"Finny didn't reply to my message, so I said he was unreliable."

"I don't know what stupid trick the other party has up his sleeve," Amos thought for a moment, then looked at the special little cub in his arms. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll take Zao Zao with me, and you follow me. Make sure there's an adult by her side."

Fei Man looked over and nodded: "I think it's okay. Leave the matters here to Freyanya and a few uncles."

It is enough to handle some daily affairs and arrange National Day matters.

At this time, Peng Yue came out with Peng Liang, who was wiping his tears, and saluted to Amos: "Your Majesty, my father said he has something to say to you."

Amos handed the cub in his arms to Fei Man and turned into the ward.

Fei Man was holding the tiny cub.

The little cub suddenly fell into his aunt's arms again.

Eyes wide open.

Fei Man took a look inside, took two steps to the side, looked ahead, and sighed softly - "What a nightmare."

It reminded her of the nightmare she had been having, which she could not get rid of and which always woke her up suddenly.

Little Chuzao was lying in Fei Man's arms, staring at his aunt's face. Seeing his aunt in a daze, the little cub thought for a while, rubbed his little face against hers, and gently leaned against her.

Fei Man: ...

Fei Man and Xiao Chuzao looked at each other.

"Auntie knows that Zao Zao wants Auntie to kiss her."

So when Amos came out, he saw the cub, who was being kissed on the left and right, with big, dumb eyes, reaching out to him and saying urgently, "Pa pa, pa pa!"

Save, save algae.

Amos reached out and took the cub back from Fei Man's arms.

As the cub wished, Amos was five steps away from Feman.

Ask someone to arrange a list of small teams going to the star field near the Bell Alliance, and pack up and prepare to deal with these hidden dangers.

Little Chuzao shrank back into Amos' arms, and the little cub let out a long breath, clinging to Amos' neck with his little hands.

Amos carried him all the way back.

"Just pay a little attention then."

Amos thought about what Peng Shengfei said before he fell asleep.

"Send a message to Finney as well, reminding him to pay special attention to Mr. Peng's assistant. She is Mr. Peng's successor."

"good."

Fei Man nodded.

"I see."

In the distance, Chairman Cheng Xuan, who came to visit, watched this scene. He couldn't get close, so naturally he couldn't get any information, but he saw the little cub holding Peng Shengfei's hand, and the little cub clinging softly to Fei Man. They were very cute, but cuteness didn't suit Saint Cass. He sighed softly and looked at the person next to him: "Your Highness is really too gentle, isn't he?"

*

Near the Bell Alliance star field.

In a hidden laboratory.

Several people were locked up together, covered in dust and dirt.

They have been imprisoned here for some time. Unlike other test subjects imprisoned here, it seems that because they are from Saint Cass, other torture methods are used on them, trying to force and induce them to reveal all the information they know, and also trying to incite them to rebel.

Under such torture, they have not had a rest for a long time.

"Bah, who would be a traitor and let us see the miserable state of the Bell Alliance? If you ask me, the situation of the Bell Alliance was caused by them and the Bell Alliance themselves."

"Don't even think about asking me to betray the Empire!"

"But no one knows where we are. Can we still be saved?"

When it comes to this topic, everyone falls silent.

The disheveled woman with a bun sitting in the corner looked outside quietly.

"Go out? After an accident, not everyone is lucky enough to leave here."

She hung her head, with a negative attitude.

"Teacher Zhong, don't always have such a negative attitude."

"Someone will surely come to rescue us!"

"Yeah?"

She just looked outside with a heavy look in her eyes.

"My luck..." has never been very good - whether it was becoming an orphan, being unwanted, having an accident, being taken back by the teacher, it took a long time to integrate into Sancas, and to get a Sancas resident certificate.

She has always had her share of ups and downs, and has been hurt every time. This time, it will probably be the same, right? - There are no lucky people in this galaxy.

She firmly believed this and lived every day in a negative way, and the teacher was unable to pull her out of it.

But in the end, she didn't say these words.

*

Early the next morning, a secret operation that almost no one knew about was about to be carried out. In the royal court, the cubs were already dressed.

Amos handed the spiritual sword to little Chuzao, and the little guy reflexively held it and chewed it.

Amos tidied the little one first, then tidied himself. When he was done and returned, he was slightly startled to see the neatly dressed little one lying back on the soft bed.

The little cub wasn't awake yet - of course, that was mainly because the soft bed was calling to the little guy.

Xiao Chuzao waited for Amos for a little too long and lay down again without realizing it. He was half asleep and still holding Amos's spiritual sword. He turned over softly on the bed and realized that Amos was coming towards him.

Then she tried to open her big eyes and looked at Amos hazily, wondering whether the little crown would light up.

Amos looked at the little guy's sleepy appearance, thought for a while, then took out a box from the side and shook it gently.

Xiao Chuzao reacted confusedly for a moment, and then the halo lit up completely. If he was in the form of a white ball at this moment, his ears should have stood up.

The next moment, the cub, still holding Amos's spiritual sword in its mouth, climbed up, jumped under the bed with its little arms and legs, and ran towards Amos - the sugar jar in his hand, dragging the spiritual sword that was too long for little Chuzao's height.
