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 74 Chapter 74 Then Auntie Will Not Be Welcome
Finney has definitely seen big things.
But given his personality and behavior, it is indeed rare to see such a scene, a big, distorted and terrifying face suddenly appears in front of him.
Xiao Chuzao, who was killing time on the civilian starship of the Bell Alliance, was startled, and then Xiao Chuzao scared Amos as well - and at this moment, Finny, who was completely unprepared, was scared away.
It was really scary.
In a physical sense.
The wings behind Finny burst out at that moment. Unlike the completely pure white wings of Amos and Xiao Chuzao, there were a little black edges at the end of his feathers. The overall texture of his wings looked different from that of Amos and Xiao Chuzao. In fact, the wings of each crown clan would have some subtle differences, but the adult crown clan would not easily release their wings, so few people observed it.
At this moment, the wings puffed up and took him into the air in an instant.
In full view of everyone, there was a thud.
“Ouch—”
Finny crashed into the ceiling of the warship.
What a loud sound.
The little cub holding the photo box was not sleepy at all. He just looked up at the ceiling blankly.
Fei Man, who originally wanted to see what was in the box, was no longer curious about the box and looked up at Finny.
Amos was the only one who knew the inside story, and he couldn't help but chuckled.
Finny held his head and flapped his wings behind him from time to time.
Finny, who always causes trouble for others, scratched his head as he looked at the little Chuzao who scared him away.
After a long while, he uttered a sentence like a sigh: "Ah... I'm scared to death."
Finny landed on the ground, folded his wings, and just looked at the little guy.
The little cub is also very polite and sweet - he cares about the Crown Family in general.
That is Zaozao's family.
"Uncle San, are you in pain?"
The cub was so short and tiny, he came all the way to Finny, stood on tiptoe and looked at Finny, and in a baby voice, he held his ghost bear and the photo box that successfully scared Finny away.
Finny did too many unreliable things and for the first time was forced to take two steps back.
His tone was a little dry.
"I...I'm fine—"
“But the warship is not very good.”
Fei Man pointed upwards.
Finney looked up and saw——
Well, the Crown Clan are all very strong, and Finny, as the second strongest force of the Crown Clan, successfully pushed out the covering board above the warship.
Finney: ...
Finney's expression was too subtle.
It's really rare to see this baby face with such a blank expression.
Fei Man finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Amos coughed twice and laughed too.
Only Xiao Chuzao cared about him very much.
The little guy standing on tiptoe couldn't see what was happening on Finny's head. He just felt that Finny had hit it so hard that it was a little deformed and it looked really painful.
"Uncle San, Uncle San, please squat down and let Zao Zao blow for you?"
The little cub spoke to Finny seriously.
This made Finny feel a little relieved.
You see, there is still beautiful emotional exchange within the Crown Clan.
Finny squatted down and looked at the soft and cute little guy.
The little guy was quite impressive and blew on Finny's head.
The little hand even reached up and pulled it.
"He's fine. He has thick skin and it will only hurt for a while."
Amos looked at his little cub.
"And wasn't it him who wanted to see it?"
"Zao Zao doesn't know."
Little Chuzao blinked his big eyes, looking very well behaved, and looked carefully at Finny's head.
Finney enjoyed it very much.
Then I heard the little guy speak.
"If Zao Zao had known that Third Uncle was so afraid of this thing, she would not have shown it to Third Uncle."
Finney: ...
Um...ah...well, you're not that scared, right?
"Zao Zao thought they were all the same as Zao Zao and Ba Ba, they were just going to be scared."
It turns out that there are people who can fly out directly.
"Yes, your uncle might be more afraid of those things."
Fei Man added fuel to the fire.
"Show Zao Zao to your aunt. I promise you it's just a shock."
Finney: ...
Please don't make it sound like he's so weak, okay?!
Finny stretched out his hand weakly. He wanted to argue, but the mark on his head made it impossible for him to do so.
Finny was thinking about how to fight back when the soft little cub suddenly came up to him.
"It's okay. Zao Zao isn't afraid, and so isn't Third Uncle."
Fei Man's eyes widened slightly.
Finny suddenly received an active hug from Zizi. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly hugged Zizi back - the little body was soft, because of everything that happened in the evening. Amos had just taken it to wash up not long ago, and it had a fresh fruity smell, fragrant. The moment he was hugged, all the irritability he had just felt subsided.
That is the special magic of Xiao Chuzao for the Crown Clan.
Finny had held this little guy before, but he didn’t quite dare to hold him, and the little guy wasn’t feeling very comfortable, so the feeling wasn’t that deep.
Eh——it seems to be okay?
Not a loss.
The little guy is a natural black who only responds to soft things and not hard things.
It's easy to get comfort from the little cub if you act pitiful.
Amos had finished his treatment and he shook his hands, moving them a few times before finally standing up and taking little Chuzao away from Finny's arms, who had just experienced what it felt like to hold a soft cub.
"You guys handle the rest."
Amos said.
"It's time for Zao Zao to go to bed."
It's almost dawn.
Little Chuzao was carried all the way back by Amos.
Halfway through the journey, he began to yawn due to sleepiness.
The starship is sailing smoothly, so the journey back is not as urgent as before, and it is expected to arrive at noon.
The little cub was put on the bed and he rolled over to get up, letting Amos sit next to him. He wanted to take a closer look at Amos's crown halo to see if there was any problem. Only after he was sure that there was no problem did he finally rest his head on the soft little pillow.
The little cub naturally curled up into a small ball, hugging his ghost bear.
The little guy was about to fall asleep, but he didn't know what he remembered. His big eyes suddenly opened and he looked at Amos seriously.
“Beep, beep—”
"Um?"
"Zao Zao still has classes to attend—"
The little soft ball just lay in the pillow with half of his face sunken in it, and spoke in a vague and baby voice.
"When we get back, Teacher Hull will be here. Remember to call Zao Zao..."
"It's okay to take a break today and not work so hard."
Amos bowed his head.
"Um?"
The little cub just looked at Amos in a daze.
"It's okay if I don't have to work so hard today?"
"Well, you've worked really hard today. That's great, baby."
Amos lowered his head and kissed Chu Zao's little face.
Because of Aunt Feiman, little Chuzao, who was a little afraid of kissing, blinked her big eyes and shrank into a small ball a little shyly.
He finally couldn't hold it anymore, and when he closed his big eyes, he said to Amos in a daze: "Zao Zao likes to hear Baba calling Zao Zao...baby..."
His voice faded away.
Amos sat on the bed, looking at the little cub who had fallen into a drowsy sleep.
Sleep well, baby, everything...no need to worry.
*
Time flies.
It was dawn on the Saint Cass Star. Saint Cass was very busy the whole morning, and Amos also had a lot of things to deal with. The little cub was really too tired yesterday, and after using the black arrow, he finally fell asleep peacefully and slept very soundly.
Amos specifically told Mori not to disturb him.
Feman stayed in Dwight's palace while Amos took Finney to deal with other matters.
At this moment, several starships were slowly landing and docking in a remote corner outside the Royal Court of Saint Cass.
Anya came down from the starship and casually asked the people around him.
"How is it going?"
“I have done relevant experiments.”
The Sancas soldier beside Anya reported to Anya in a low voice.
"That teenage Holy Grail member did have mental problems, and he had a little bit of the same mental breakdown as the Crown Clan, and this symptom seemed to be contagious to his own clan. Several of the elders and the people who came with the Holy Grail Clan had similar symptoms, while others showed no symptoms. They are all in quarantine now. This seems to be a plan of the Anthem specifically targeting the Holy Grail Clan, because in addition to the Holy Grail Clan members on the starship, there were also some other people hired by the Holy Grail Clan. Those people are fine, but to be on the safe side, they are quarantined first and we'll see when we get to the medical center."
"Um."
Anya nodded.
He couldn't help but frown.
"That Holy Grail tribe member named Derek has only been in contact with the Anthem organization for a short time, right? Is the situation so serious? Find a way to contact the Holy Grail tribe and see how to deal with it."
Saint Cass rarely cares about the internal affairs of other ethnic groups or countries outside their empire.
But this situation still frightened Anya - it had only been half a day for the situation to become like this. The symptoms of that little Holy Grail clan member were getting worse and worse, with no sign of stopping.
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of chaos the entire Holy Grail clan was in at the moment.
Anya continued walking. Members from the Saint Cass Medical Center had arrived. After saluting, they quickly rushed into the warship.
Inside the warship, Derek sat in the corner of the room, his body trembling slightly. He already knew that several elders had been infected, and some members of the Holy Grail Clan were under quarantine.
Guilt, self-blame, and self-loathing filled Derek's heart.
That's terrible.
He is so terrible.
Only then did Derek realize what was happening.
After getting used to escaping, they are faced with the situation that when the real problem comes, they are powerless to resist.
He was just - so bad.
The door of this room was opened.
Members of Saint Cas's top medical center walked in.
"Okay, isolate the surrounding area and monitor the mental power—"
They looked at each other.
There are few people here, so any problems can be dealt with promptly.
At the same time, the habitat of the Holy Grail Clan.
The Holy Grail Clan leader was leaning back in his chair, his face pale and weak.
It's noisy outside.
The limited medical resources within the Holy Grail Clan have been fully utilized.
Some people were crying, some were running back and forth.
Finally, someone knocked on the door of the Holy Grail Clan leader's room.
"Chief, many of our tribesmen have fallen into coma. Some of them have had their heartbeats stop several times while they were unconscious. We can't hold them back any longer. Chief, what should we do?"
Inside the house, the Holy Grail Clan leader closed his eyes. The Holy Grail of Spiritual Power that he had used many times was being eroded and broken at a faster rate - he was almost unable to make any sound.
Before the person who entered the room could finish his words, he exclaimed: "Patriarch? Patriarch! Quick, quick, the patriarch has also fainted--"
Invisibly, the big hand of the Anthem Organization reaching out to the Holy Grail Clan was slowly tightening.

Saint Casti Star.
The next afternoon.
Little Chuzao opened his eyes dazedly.
He was extremely tired the day before, and he didn't sleep at night, so he was a little overdrawn.
During this time, he relied on Amos to wake him up, eat a little, and then fall back to sleep.
Until now, Xiao Chuzao felt that he had been resurrected with full health.
It was already past noon. The little cub glanced at the time. It was almost three in the afternoon. He was the only one in the room. Amos must have been busy.
Xiao Chuzao had no intention of disturbing others, so he got up and put on his coat.
This is a green little dinosaur pajama jacket. There is a fat green tail behind the plush pajamas, which sways behind the baby as he gets out of bed.
Little Chuzao walked to the door, blinked his big eyes, stretched out his little hands and reached twice. The little cub thought for a moment and prepared to move the small stool behind him.
"Your Excellency, are you going out?"
Yuan's voice sounded, and a short piece of light music was played.
"Yes."
Little Chuzao looked up.
"Can you help me open the door?"
"certainly!"
The intelligent AI source of Dwight Villa said happily.
With a slight click.
The door lock opened and the cub pushed open the door of the room.
It was also quiet outside. The little cub took two steps outside and leaned on the railing upstairs to look around.
"His Majesty Amos has gone to handle official business. The other princes are not in the villa. Only His Majesty Fei Man is in his room. Butler Mori is directing people to tidy up the courtyard."
The little cub tilted his head. He had just woken up and was still a little unresponsive. He asked Yuan in a baby voice, "Why do we have to tidy up the yard?"
"It's almost season. You can plant your potatoes soon."
They attached great importance to the little prince's request and started looking for a suitable place to plant potatoes for the little cubs early on.
"Really?"
The little wings behind Xiao Chuzao flapped a few times, and his mood suddenly became wonderful. The little guy jumped up and downstairs to find something to eat.
He was very small, with short legs and arms. He held on to his side with his hands and walked with a clattering sound. The little tail in his dinosaur pajamas swayed behind him.
Suddenly, Xiao Chuzao felt something and turned his head to look at a door.
The little cub paused, and asked Yuan again uncertainly: "Is that Aunt Fei Man's room?"
"Yes, my Lord."
At the same time, in Feiman's room.
After Fei Man came back, she locked herself in her room for nearly two days.
She was sitting at the table in a small study room inside the room. The curtains behind her were drawn tightly. The lights were on, and the light fell from the top of her head onto Fei Man, making her look a little dull.
She was looking through the documents.
Turning over the yellowed papers one by one.
These are all the information of the former Saint Cass First Legion.
From its construction to everything afterwards.
Finally, Fei Man's finger stopped on a picture.
The crown family member in the picture is smiling proudly, and he doesn’t look very old.
But compared to the young crown family, they have a more stable feeling.
That was her grandfather, and also Zaozao’s great-grandfather.
The First Legion of Saint Cass disappeared without a trace in the pollution. Not long after, while they were searching, they sensed the vibrations of grandpa's crown being shattered.
Fei Man just watched, her mental strength slightly shaken.
That time - it shouldn't have been grandpa who went.
"Do I have to go that far? But I still have a lot of important courses to complete. If I catch up on them when I come back, the related grades will be in trouble."
Fei Man, who was still younger at that time and had just reached adulthood, stood on the high ground. She was more immature and a little more lively than she is now.
"Hahaha, little guy, you are so picky about your actions. I'll let Clancy beat you up when the time comes."
Her grandfather was right next to her at the time, smiling heartily and patting her on the back with his big hands, teasingly and with a bit of ridicule.
"Look at your second and third brothers. They have only been adults for a short time, and they have dealt with so many things."
"Hey, Grandpa..." Fei Man still remembered his dissatisfaction at that time. Although they all knew the predetermined ending, the cubs of the Crown Clan were cared for by the previous and previous generations of the Crown Clan, so despair had not yet come so aggressively, at least for Fei Man. "Don't compare me with my second brother - my second brother is simply a robot, I don't understand what he is thinking, and my third brother, my third brother is too outrageous, it's not him who wants to solve those problems, okay? It's those problems that find ways to find him. As for my eldest brother, he is so negative all day long, I think he will probably leave much earlier than us."
Fei Man's words successfully made the crown clan on the opposite side laugh.
"You are just too young - but there is nothing we can do about it, our little Feiman has just reached adulthood. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the sky won't fall yet. Clancys is just too strict with you, and Solan is too strict. Don't stop them. After all, these are the last batch of cubs - watch and cherish them."
"I'm not a cub anymore, Grandpa!"
Fei Man was muttering at that time.
"Okay, little guy, go back and finish your course honestly. The Dwight family's imperial teacher will not let you get away with it. As for this operation, grandpa still has plenty of strength. Grandpa will go and tell His Majesty Clancys. You just wait here for grandpa to come back--"
…
"It's bad! We've lost contact with Saint Cass's First Army! There's no news about His Highness who went with us either. They're surrounded by the incoming pollution. In order to cover Saint Cass's other people's evacuation of the contaminated area, we have to..."
What?
"The pollution came too quickly this time!! We didn't have time to react—"
"We have sent people to look for it, but——"
who?
Did she hear it wrong?
Who is missing?
At that time, Fei Man listened blankly -
It was not until a short while later, with the mother's crying, that everyone felt the news that the crown was broken.
"Fei Man, that's not your fault. You need to grow more. Your grandfather is a strong crown family with his own ideals and ideas. That was the choice he made."
Her father realized the problem at the first moment and said that to her.
She knows.
The hopeless fate of the crown family.
But I didn't expect that 'despair' would come so suddenly.
From then on, Fei Man grew up faster - she was no longer the little girl from the Crown Clan. She became a very reliable and strong person, at least in the hearts of others.
It's just that the nightmare follows me everywhere.
It shouldn’t have been my grandfather who got into trouble…
She has been waiting for grandpa to come back——
Grandpa, look—
She has grown into a qualified member of the crown family.
A qualified Dwight.
Fei Man lowered her head, and she pursed her lips gently——
But why.
How many years have passed?
Why did you just disappear like that, Grandpa? Why didn't you come back?
'Little guy, is this high enough? Can't you fly with your little wings? Do you really need Grandpa to throw you away?'
"Had a fight with your third brother? Haha, wait, grandpa will teach him a lesson——"
"What do you like? Like this? Okay, okay, Grandpa will remember it."
'Why are you so nice to Feman? Grandpa's little Feman is going to take over Grandpa's job - of course it's different.'
Fei Man tightened his fingers slightly.
Her mental strength fluctuated at that moment.
She had been avoiding mentioning related things, and never said a word even when she was having nightmares.
Until all this happened recently.
I have a headache.
But it's still bearable.
Fei Man closed her eyes, and those nightmares seemed to reappear before her eyes.
Grandpa's smiling face gradually became bloody and distorted, and the familiar faces in the First Army of Saint Cass were also covered in blood, trying to pull her back.
The memories that were too old not only did not fade, but as the Crown Family left one after another, they became more real to Fei Man.
She let out a long breath and suppressed all the complicated emotions - she had cried secretly too many times earlier, and she couldn't cry at this moment.
Fei Man didn't notice the door clicked open.
Outside the door.
Yuan was nervous: "But as an intelligent AI, I can't just help you open the door of His Highness Fei Man!"
The young cub stared at the source's camera.
Source: "I made a mistake before, and I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not make that mistake again this time - Xiao Zhineng learns from every failure!"
The little cub was still staring at Yuan's camera, and the little wings behind it flapped twice, and even its little tail shook a little.
Yuan: "...but intelligent AI also has feelings, little prince, please don't be so cute, wuwuwuwuwuwu, little prince, Yuan is gone - if Yuan is dismantled by His Majesty or His Majesty Fei Man, little prince must remember Yuan QAQ According to common sense, Yuan can't, can't -"
“Click—”
Xiao Zhineng opened the door and began to confess.
"It's okay, Zao Zao will protect you."
Xiao Zhineng: ...Hey, now that your Highness says that, I feel more confident!
Open, open them all!
It's going to open ten! A hundred!!
So, when little Chuzao walked to Fei Man's desk with small steps, he blinked his big eyes and looked at Aunt Fei Man's crown——
The little cub exhaled.
It’s nothing - Zao Zao was just startled.
But the strong feeling of sadness coming from Fei Man still made Xiao Chuzao flap the little wings behind him and cling to the edge of the table with his little hands.
Before Fei Man could come to her senses, she heard the sound of flapping wings.
She was stunned for a moment and looked up subconsciously.
Then I saw a pair of small hands coming up from the edge of the desk, and a small halo slowly emerged, shook gently, and then Zaozao's little head appeared.
"aunt?"
The cub's soft, dumb voice sounded.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
The cub broke in without permission, and he felt a little guilty. He leaned on the edge of the table, with his green dinosaur tail swaying behind him, trying to comfort Fei Man.
"Aunt, do you want to do something else to divert your attention? Zao Zao, please accompany me."
My aunt looked like she was about to cry.
The little cub couldn't think of a better way, so he apologized to Fei Man in a low voice.
"And I'm sorry, auntie. Zao Zao felt that there was something wrong with your mental strength, so I broke in without permission."
Fei Man came back to her senses, she stood up and picked up the cub.
She looked down at the soft little cub in her arms, with worry in his eyes.
Fei Man paused. Little Chuzao comforted them by more than just being cute.
Other aspects are——
Fei Man's eyes softened a little, and her originally cold voice became lighter.
Fei Man didn't want to pass these emotions on to the little cub.
Her breath gradually gathered and her mental strength gradually calmed down.
"Can you accompany your aunt in anything she does?"
Xiao Chuzao nodded subconsciously.
Then he heard Fei Man speak again, aiming at his little face: "Then auntie is welcome."
Little Cub: ...Huh???
