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 62 Chapter 62 A 'small algae car', driving '...
His Majesty Amos successfully chased Finny around the field at a leisurely pace.
Little Chuzao stood beside his aunt, his eyes wide open, and his little wings trembled when Finny was hit.
Finny is unreliable and always looking for trouble. In the past, it was often Amos who dealt with him. After all, apart from Amos, the other crown clans may not be able to defeat Finny if they really want to fight.
Feman was used to this.
On the other side, the three-person team that had just finished training was not far away, but they did not approach.
The little cub looked over there subconsciously. Fei Man glanced over there and spoke to the little guy.
"It's almost time to rest. Go play with your teammates."
The little cub did get along very well with these three people.
Little Chuzao couldn't bear to watch the "tragedy" of Uncle Finny being beaten - so Zaozao chose not to watch it.
Peng Liang has obviously adjusted his mood in the past few days.
His eyes gradually became hotter as he looked at Xiao Chuzao.
It's different from before, as if a certain belief has been strengthened.
The little cub was really sensitive to other people's emotions. He looked at Peng Liang in front of him and did not mention the death of Old Peng.
Peng Liang was busy with these things in the past few days and did not come to the royal court.
"Your Highness."
The three of them looked at the little cub. After spending some time together and communicating with him, they had obviously become much more familiar with Xiao Chuzao.
I saw the little cub rummaging in his pocket.
He lowered his little head, his soft black curls trembling slightly as he moved. Finally, he found what he was looking for and raised his little head. His pair of honey-like amber eyes were so sweet that people could not help but soften.
"for you."
Xiao Chuzao opened his palm, revealing a candy wrapped in colorful paper. He handed the candy to Peng Liang.
The little cub has a soft smile, and is delicate and cute. Because the Crown Clan has taken good care of its little face during this period, the little fat on its cheeks has increased, making it look a lot rounder.
“It’s delicious.”
Of course, a five-year-old cub wouldn't think too much.
The highest pursuit for a little cub is nothing more than some delicious food. For little Chuzao, there are not many things he can eat. Most of them are specially prepared by the chefs of the Saint Cass Royal Court and produced in conjunction with the medical center. The so-called taste may be more inclined to be - healthier.
So the little guy's favorite and what he looks forward to most every day is the candy that Amos gives him in the morning.
Hearing that the three of them would come for training today, the little guy specially saved up some time.
Because in the little cub's impression - when Zao Zao is sad or feels uncomfortable, she will feel much better if she eats some sweet fruit. That was a luxury for the little guys in the past, but it is a limited product for the little guys now.
But he is still willing to share it.
"For me?"
Peng Liang took it carefully and looked at Xiao Chuzao.
The cub nodded vigorously, then dug and dug again.
"This is for you—"
Zao Zao is very good at balancing things and making sure everyone gets a share.
He took out another piece of candy and handed it to Yun Songquan next to him.
Yun Songquan was also stunned for a moment. He naturally knew what had happened to the Peng family, but he was an orphan and could not empathize with them. He and Chao Huangmu were, one too cold and the other too lively. Together with Peng Liang, he couldn't think of what to say today.
He took the candy.
He accidentally glanced at Chao Huangmu beside him and was almost blinded by the light in his eyes——
Yun Songquan was in awe.
No, my friend, Your Highness is just sharing some candy, there's no need to act like this - as if I'm ready to go to the battlefield!
Xiao Chuzao has been assigned to Chao Huangmu.
He bent down slightly towards Huang Mu. His sunny face was actually very delicate, but he was a little tanned and always had a bright smile on his face, giving people the impression that he was a sunny young man, and often overlooked other things.
The cub kept digging, looked up at Huangmu's expectant gaze, paused, and blinked his big eyes - he, he seemed to really want to eat candy.
It was during this brief pause that Chao Huangmu's mind turned a thousand circles - he was still thinking that the little prince was so small and cute a second ago, and every part of him hit his cute spot, especially the dangling little curly hair, which was so adorable, and he wanted to help him tidy it up, and then Xiao Chuzao paused.
Chao Huangmu also paused - it was allocated to him... Is that all?
Chao Huangmu smiled kindly and glanced at his companions.
It doesn't matter. He can tell the little prince that he doesn't really want it, and then... Oh, it doesn't seem right to snatch it from Peng Liang. Brother Yun probably doesn't like candy that much, but he still wants it to be given to him personally by the little prince...
Is it because his name is too difficult to remember, so his presence is low among the little prince?
Yun Songquan felt suspicious of Huang Mu, and his smiling but pestering look made the hairs on his back stand on end.
Yun Songquan subconsciously opened the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
You can't just snatch it from someone else's mouth, right?
Then he saw Chao Huangmu still staring at him.
Yun Songquan: ...?
No, what are you thinking about? Can you please stop thinking about it? It's so creepy!!
"There is only one piece of algae left."
It was at this time that the savior arrived.
The cub held up the candy in his hand and handed it to Chao Huangmu. His baby voice was a little stuttering.
"There's no more, just... just... "
Chao Huangmu:!
He has!
Chao Huangmu's voice suddenly became clamped.
"That's enough. Thank you, little prince. Say goodbye to Huang Mu."
Xiao Chuzao nodded and picked out the words he didn't remember: "Brother Mu."
The little wings fluttered.
Remember.
This time Zao Zao promises to remember it!
Chao Huangmu: ...!
Until Xiao Chuzao was called back by the Majesty and Princes of the Crown Clan, Chao Huangmu was still in a daze.
Mu, brother, brother.
He also doesn't want to think that the little prince is cute all day long. Although Chao Huangmu loves to laugh, his actual personality is not like that. But he calls me Brother Mu.
"Wake up, wake up, big animal, wake up--"
Yun Songquan and Peng Liang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and waved at Chao Huangmu.
"I said, it's always right to listen to the fortune teller."
Chao Huangmu came back to his senses, smiled and hooked his arms around the neck of the person next to him.
"…What lucky charm did you bring? Forget it, don't tell me. I don't want to know."
Yun Songquan has a cool face, and the candy blocks make one of his cheeks slightly bulge. He has an expressionless face and dead eyes, and allows Chao Huangmu to put his hand on his shoulder.
"Your Highness is so cute—"
Peng Liang sighed and put the candy away. He looked at Chao Huangmu again. It was surprising that Chao Huangmu was always more enthusiastic towards the little prince than them.
"But Mu, are you actually a plush lover?"
"Maybe a little bit...? But not exactly."
He waved at Huang Mu.
He did not find other people or things cute, except Xiao Chuzao. From the first time they met, his strange power, his neat and swift arrow-shooting posture, and everything that happened during their subsequent interactions, all struck Huangmu in the cute spot.
"But it's up to you—"
Peng Liang's eyes sparkled as he watched the little cubs leave for training.
"I will be your Highness's number one supporter from now on. Don't compete with me."
He would never forget the changes in his grandfather before and after the little prince appeared.
My father said that it was a blessing for the people of Saint Cass to meet the Crown Clan, and it was a blessing for the Peng family to meet His Highness Kaman and the Little Prince.
A gentle miracle - he understood more clearly what the predecessors who had passed away thousands of years ago felt when they saw the Crown Clan at that time.
Chao Huangmu:?
Yunsongquan:?
"But speaking of which, did you meet Ling Ye when you returned to the military academy?"
Peng Liang looked over.
"No."
"No, what happened to him?"
"When he came to my house, he asked me if I had much contact with the young prince. That guy has never shown any emotions, and he is so close to Chairman Cheng Xuan. Isn't it rumored that Ling is also one of the talents responsible for taking the lead in Saint Cass after the disappearance of the Crown Clan?"
Peng Liang clenched his fists.
It’s best not to let him find out anything that is disadvantageous to His Majesty.
"oh--"
He was still smiling at Huang Mu, but he was obviously thinking about something.
Peng Liang turned around urgently - "Don't even think about putting a sack on him and beating him up. If you get caught, you'll be expelled from school!"
He turned to Huang Mu with a look of "What are you talking about?" and said, "I didn't say anything."
Tsk, what a pity.
*
As the National Day approaches, some of the Crown Clan members who were dealing with various alien beast legions outside have returned one after another, while others are still continuing to suppress the impact of the pollution-caused alien beasts on the entire interstellar space.
A starship landed silently a few days before National Day.
In a few days, invited countries, alliances and organizations will also send representatives to celebrate Saint Cass's National Day.
Because of the appearance of the little cub, Saint Cass's overall security measures had already been strengthened, and now they were even more rigorous and serious.
The Crown Clan member who came down from the starship was peaceful and quiet, with a low sense of presence. He walked down, tilted his head slightly and looked at the building of the royal court as if in a trance, then raised his head and looked not far away.
Speaker Cheng Xuan was waiting not far away with his entourage.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Lin En."
"Um."
Lynn responded.
He quietly tried to pass by the other person.
"Chairman Cheng Xuan."
"You should have also heard about the news about His Majesty Amos's cub."
Lynn stopped walking.
"certainly."
There was peace in his eyes, and he didn't seem to have any emotions because of the cub.
This person was a close friend of Amos's father, His Majesty Clancys, who had traveled around fighting against strange beasts. He was also a member of the Crown Clan who supported all of His Majesty Clancys' plans.
He was also the only crown family of his generation whose crown condition still met the requirements for going out. People like Melen, Kaman, and Hull belonged to the same generation as Lin En, but their crowns were all broken into pieces.
"What do you want to say?"
Lynn tilted her head slightly.
"Regarding His Majesty Clancy's previous plan - should we firmly carry it out? To be honest -" Cheng Xuanyue drooped his eyes, "Your Highness Lin En, I am a little hesitant. The little prince is still growing up, but it seems that he is too gentle at the moment. This is different from what His Majesty Clancy told me at the beginning. If I want to carry it out, I will inevitably confront His Majesty Amos."
It’s not that Cheng Xuan wants to confront Amos, but Amos, who is protective of his cubs, will definitely tear apart all people and plans that threaten his cubs.
"Clancy gave you this plan. You should make your own judgment. I haven't been back to Saint Casti Star for a long time, and I haven't seen the little cub. I can't give my opinion."
Lin En walked past Cheng Xuan calmly, leaving only one last sentence.
"But you'd better not put the cart before the horse, or I won't protect you."
Lin En left here, and the team behind him followed his pace in unison, quiet and without a sense of presence, like ghosts hidden in the dark.
Cheng Xuan stood up slightly from his saluting posture.
He turned his head to look in the direction where Lin En left, and finally thought about the place he had come into contact with some time ago that was also worried about the current situation of the Crown Clan - the Northern Free Federation.
The Northern Free Federation is a human federation. It is not close to Saint Cass, but it has always had a good relationship with Saint Cass. They also believe that the stability of the interstellar space is largely due to the fact that Saint Cass has a reliable and powerful emperor.
Cheng Xuan's face, which looked very kind and amiable, did not show any smile at the moment. He just thought quietly for a while.
He looked behind him again: "Ling Ye, in the military academy league, have you had any contact with the Northern Free Federation?"
"Yes, but not much."
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man standing behind Cheng Xuan answered quickly.
Cheng Xuan looked at the sky—thinking of His Majesty Clancy.
He was a cold and strict king, who regarded his people as equally important as the empire. He seemed to be very strict with King Amos, but he was full of love. He did not leave these cruel decisions to his children. At that time, facing the future situation, he started to create one plan after another. Even because of his radicalness before the time was right, he carried a lot of "infamy" within the Crown Clan.
His Majesty, whom he had followed all his life, had told him countless times that if Saint Cass wanted to survive, to survive in this cruel interstellar world, he had to have a strong command center and not be too concerned with emotions...
Saint Cass, Little Prince, His Majesty Amos, His Majesty Clancy...
Cheng Xuan finally smiled and said, "Let's go."
*
As Amos' elder, Lynn also has to report to Amos on his return.
This time he returned not only because of the National Day, but also because of the crown issue. He was the longest-lasting of his generation, but he was almost at the end of his rope. He heard that this little cub could solve the problem of the broken crown of the Crown Clan, so he didn't think of dying outside.
However, he did not have to report anything to Amos. The task he had received before was to deal with the suppression of the alien beasts in a certain area. As a close friend of the former Majesty, he had left the Saint Castiel Star since Amos ascended the throne.
Coming back really feels like a lifetime ago.
It was peaceful. Without the roar of strange beasts or the roar of naval guns, everything was too peaceful.
Although there was no need to make a report, he still walked to Dwight's palace unknowingly. He often came here a long time ago. At that time, Clancys and Solan were both there. The five cubs who broke the Crown Clan record and were born from their powerful mental power were not yet grown up. They were all little Dwights with outstanding talents.
And today, he actually got to see a little Dwight again.
Still a soft little Dwight.
Lynn couldn't imagine it.
But he felt numb and didn't think a cub could cause much emotional change in him.
He would protect his cubs like the other members of the Crown Clan, but he was not the grandfather who would spoil his children - Lin En judged for himself, and he was even a little doubtful whether Emperor Amos, who grew up under Clancy's strict education, really cared about a cub as much as the report said?
Although he felt that he should care - but judging from subsequent events, Amos was obviously stressed.
Thinking about what Amos used to be like, Lynn felt a sense of absurdity.
He certainly wouldn't be like that.
He has his own plans for this trip back.
"Baba, baba - why can't Zao Zao jump down from the roof? Uncle San said Zao Zao must try it."
The cub's tender voice rushed into the eardrum in an instant.
Light, soft, with a sweet intimacy, like a baby bird chirping and acting coquettishly.
"Eh? No, wait a minute, Zao Zao, Third Uncle never said that, never said that!"
Finny's voice was mixed with Freyanya Feman's smile and Hel's dissatisfied voice - "His Majesty Amos has always said that you are unreliable. Your Highness Finny, please don't follow through all the time!"
It's already time for dinner at this point.
As the sky gradually darkened, it was obvious that His Majesty Amos was taking his cubs for a walk outside to digest their food, and there were quite a few people with him.
Lin En was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously hid by the wall, secretly clinging to the corner and looking over quietly.
His hiding ability is the best among the Crown Clan. As long as he keeps a distance, Amos cannot find him.
He glanced at the familiar faces, then slowly looked at the small figure led by Amos.
Compared to the Crown Clan members around him, whose average height is two meters, little Chuzao is really just a tiny thing.
The street lights came on at this time, illuminating the road in front of Dwight's Palace.
The cub narrowed its eyes, and its little wings behind it flapped gently. It was so soft and chubby, and it tilted its soft white face up - it was so cute.
Lynn hid in the dark corner and stared expressionlessly, holding onto the corner of the wall with a little force.
The little fellow seemed to have sensed something. Little Chuzao blinked his eyes in a trance and turned his head to look at something not far away.
But the little guy didn't see anything. His little wings trembled, he raised his hand and touched his little halo, then looked at Amos again.
Finny, who was standing next to him, looked at the innocent little face, which was a little dazed. He reached out to grab the cub's halo from behind, but of course he missed it. He could only rub the cub's head vigorously - "Are you complaining, little rascal?"
"Zao Zao is telling the truth! Zao Zao is an honest baby."
It made Finny want to rub his little face, but he also thought it was so cute.
The little cub whimpered and covered his little head to protect his little curly hair, then ran to the teacher and grabbed Hull's clothes with his little hands.
"Teacher, what are we going to learn tonight?"
Yes, the curriculum for the little cub is actually quite full.
He has learned almost nothing before, so at this age he needs to start catching up on his previous knowledge.
Starting from the Sancas language to the various abilities of the Crown Clan.
One thing that is less worrying is that the little cub has already condensed a spiritual weapon that suits him, and he does not need to spend a lot of time trying and adjusting it.
In the morning, the cubs study cultural courses, and in the afternoon they do corresponding training, mostly physical skills and archery. At night, they learn about the uses of mental power that the Crown Clan should master.
"Tonight?"
Hull thought about the arrangements.
He has learned how to hide many times, and will gradually increase the difficulty. For the cub, it is enough at this stage. He learns very quickly, including in physical skills. He has made rapid progress, so - anti-reconnaissance has achieved certain results.
"Next, we will learn how to use mental power to strengthen the five senses. Let's practice our eyes today. We can see more clearly and farther, and use mental power to sense the location of things around us."
The cub blinked and nodded, not quite understanding.
The weather was not so cold at the moment, so Amos was not too worried about the little guy getting caught in the wind, as it was just helping to digest food anyway.
He simply carried Finney to the practice field nearby.
Frey, Feman and Anya came over to watch the fun.
Finney: ...You guys are just staring at me like that?
The dark and twisted baby face could no longer be dark and twisted under the righteous iron fist of his brother.
"Brother, no brother...you educate me twice a day? Father never taught you like this—"
Finney felt that his status had dropped rapidly after he came back this time - oh, it was mainly because his second brother was too protective of his cubs.
What he is best at is courting death. In the past, it was fine for him to fight with other members of the Crown Clan, because they couldn't beat him, and the second brother didn't bother to care about him. But now...
"Ah——Second brother, be gentle!!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I said that the second brother would beat people up."
"Of course. We've all been beaten before, but Finny has a bad memory."
"But the second brother has never beaten the eldest brother, right?"
As Anya and Feiman spoke, they turned to look at Frey.
Frey turned his head slowly and looked at the two of them. His expression was a little weird at that moment: "Ah... I beat him, but you didn't know."
Fei Man, Anya:?
No, isn't Amos so cruel?
It’s really… lively…
Lin En thought so as he huddled in a dark corner watching all this.
On the other side, the little cub was learning from Teacher Hull how to use his mental power to allow him to see farther and more clearly, and to perceive things in his blind spots.
The little cub closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
The mental power flowed to the eyes - well, Zao Zao felt that her eyes were a little hot.
The little cub opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment. He first saw Hull's mental power. There were some familiar mental power threads separated from that ball of mental power, which were trying their best to avoid his small halo.
Hull was stunned——
From the previous description, we can know that the Crown Clan cannot see mental power, so the ability of the little cub at this moment is obviously not the same as what Hull said.
But the cub opened his eyes wide—Zao Zao knew it?
His small chest involuntarily puffed up.
Zao Zao understands it!
Got it?
The cub looked at the shocked Hull, then turned to look in the direction of Amos, who came running over with a clattering sound - "Beep, beep - is that so?"
Hull reacted and stretched out his hand - "Wait a minute, Zao Zao..."
Something is not right.
Something's really... not right.
Amos and others also turned to look over.
Xiao Chuzao and Hull were just in a slightly brighter place, but now he ran out of the light and ran towards their dark place - his eyes were glowing?
It wasn’t the kind of light reflected from the eyes of the crown clan—his eyes were really glowing!!!
The little cub fluttered, its big eyes glowing golden, like two small flashlights, running towards me.
——Well, a 'small algae car' came over with its 'lights' on.
