Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Aquaman Dad 21

"Let me see."

Zhuozhuo climbed onto Cheng Su and pulled his nose to examine him carefully.

Cheng Su quickly said it wasn't broken and that he had saved his nose. If Zhuozhuo kept pulling at it, it would really break. He sat up and asked Zhuozhuo what he was doing making such a fuss so early in the morning.

It can't be that he murdered his own father, right?

Thinking back to his nightmare of battling a monster, Cheng Su's heart sank, and he cursed silently, "You stinky, heartless bastard."

Zhuozhuo hung on Cheng Su, swaying with his movements, and said sweetly: "Wake up Cheng Su~ Get up and go dig the mountain~"

Cheng Su glanced sideways. The tone of the little girl's voice was the softest and most delicate she had ever used when facing him. It was obvious that she really wanted to go digging in the mountain.

If Yugong were still alive, Zhuozhuo would definitely become his close friend regardless of age difference.

The little girl with a leaky cotton jacket wanted to dig a mountain, and the good father who was always filial to his parents would definitely support her unconditionally. Cheng Su dressed them both as quickly as possible, lifted the door curtain, and saw the world shrouded in the gray night.

At this moment, a sentence popped up in Cheng Su's mind: Which dad has not seen the night sky at four o'clock in the morning?

"Cheng Su?"

"Call me daddy."

I really don't want to leave the tent without calling dad.

Zhuozhuo didn't understand Cheng Su's complex psychology, but she chose to satisfy him tolerantly. She leaned over to Cheng Su's ear, took a deep breath, and said, "Dad——!!!"

“…”

Cheng Su's head was buzzing. He covered his ears and shook his head, "Hmm."

Leaving the tent, Cheng Su found the night quite lively, with people standing in front of almost every tent. Cheng Su greeted them calmly and asked why they were up so early. In fact, he knew that they were woken up by the noise of Zhuo Zhuo.

Zhuozhuo said softly, "Cheng Su didn't wake up early, Zhuozhuo woke up early. It took Zhuozhuo a lot of effort to wake Cheng Su up."

Cheng Su: “…”

Thank you.

Zhuozhuo continued to chatter, "We are going to dig the mountain. La la la la la..."

The little fellow was so happy that he started singing by himself.

Bethany was surprised. "Zhuozhuo, aren't you afraid at all? We've always believed that the back of the continent is similar to hell. What if Scarlett tricks us into going there to kill us? We won't be able to fight back on their turf. Besides, the environment on the back of the continent is harsh. Can we adapt to it? We might die before the demons kill us."

Scarlett glanced at Bethany indifferently, without any intention of defending herself.

Zhuozhuo wasn't frightened by Bethany at all. He said childishly, "Sister Lili isn't bad. Where Sister Lili can live, Zhuozhuo can live too. Because Sister Lili is just like Zhuozhuo. Arms, legs, face, flesh..."

The little guy tried hard to give examples, and everyone successfully understood. Scarlett and other succubi had human forms that were no different from humans, so Zhuozhuo believed that where they could survive, humans could also survive.

Bethany whispered, "Who knows if they can only survive in their original form? I look like a human now, but humans can't survive in the ocean. Only mermaids can."

"Ah." Zhuozhuo hadn't expected this either. She looked at Scarlett, "Sister Lili, what do you look like in your original form?"

Scarlett cooperated and revealed her true form.

It wasn't the monstrous, iron-clawed, fang-covered beast described in mainland Chinese accounts. It simply had two spiral horns on its head and a pair of giant, bat-like wings on its back, in addition to its human form. Furthermore, Scarlett, in her succubus form, looked even more alluring and captivating. Several men stared blankly for a moment, as if bewildered.

Therefore, everyone became even more wary, and their expressions even revealed rejection and disgust.

Scarlett smiled carelessly, mockingly.

Someone shouted angrily: "You bold devil, how dare you openly seduce——"

He couldn't say the rest of the words, as his mouth seemed to be stuck with glue and he couldn't open it. He was terrified when he heard Zhuo Zhuo's childish words, "Why are you so fierce?"

He wanted to explain, but Zhuozhuo was no longer looking at him. The little guy stretched out his little finger and pointed, "You, you, you, you, and you...you don't have to stay here."

The person who was called out was panicked and confused, "Why? Children, don't talk nonsense."

Bethany rolled her eyes, "You guys are the ones who should shut up, kneel down and listen to Zhuo Zhuo's instructions!"

After saying that, no one knew who made the move, but the people who were named felt pain in their knees and all knelt on the ground.

Zhuozhuo didn't care and said seriously, "You are too weak. You will die if you follow Sister Lili. Even if she doesn't kill you, you will die too."

Some people were dissatisfied, "How could it be!"

"Yes." Zhuo Zhuo said patiently, "You just drew your sword and pointed it at the person next to you."

The people beside him quickly moved away, bowed to Zhuozhuo, and asked without a doubt, "Sir, what's going on?"

Zhuozhuo, "Well, I don't know, it might be Sister Lili's passive skill. But these people can't follow us. If they draw their swords again, they will be killed."

That's true. These people lost their minds after taking one look at the succubus's true form. If they really fight, they will definitely be no match for the others and will surely die.

As for why they did this, it was very simple. They wanted to possess the succubus, so they had to kill all the competitors around them.

Those who were pointed out were taken away by their fellow tribesmen.

Everyone looked at Zhuozhuo, waiting for her next instructions. Zhuozhuo looked at Scarlett and grinned. Suddenly, two spiral horns sprouted from his own head. The horns continued to grow, growing longer and heavier, until Zhuozhuo's neck tilted and he leaned against Cheng Su's shoulder. When they finally stopped growing, they were almost as tall as Zhuozhuo.

Like two extra long thin chopsticks.

Scarlett and the other demons had already gathered around them. Knowing Zhuozhuo was the savior was one thing, but seeing her transform into a demon with their own eyes was the real reassurance. And seeing how long Zhuozhuo's demon horns were, their confidence in this salvation mission soared to an unprecedented level.

Scarlett carefully held Zhuozhuo's horn and gently explained, "Among demons, the longer and thicker the horn, the stronger it is. Master Zhuozhuo's horn is still covered with a blue membrane because you are still young. The horn will grow with you, becoming longer and thicker."

She couldn't help but say: "My lord, even without the prophecy, you are the king of demons."

Zhuozhuo was horrified. If it was even thicker and longer, would she have to lie in bed every day and not be able to get up? She didn't want to become a demon anymore. However, Zhuozhuo touched the hard horn and saw that Scarlett and the others liked it so much, so she couldn't dislike it. She turned around and asked, "But everyone says that the demons have a king, and you are the queen."

Scarlett said without hesitation, "The late king is now one hundred and eighty years old, and his horns are not half as long as yours. Of course, if you want, I can continue to be queen."

[……]

This is the former king.

Cheng Su carefully supported Zhuo Zhuo's little head and said, "Change back. This is too uncomfortable. Your neck is going to break."

"Wait, wait." Zhuozhuo looked down, "How else have I changed?"

Cheng Su had already observed it and said, "It only has horns, nothing else."

"Then what kind of demon am I?"

Cheng Su looked at Scarlett, who was more knowledgeable.

Scarlett: "Demons are not divided by appearance, but by fighting style and combat power. If I am not mistaken, you will be very powerful when you grow up and you will be a member of the royal family."

"oh."

Zhuozhuo calmly transformed back into her human form, instantly feeling relieved. Seeing the silence of the crowd, she remembered the topic they had discussed earlier and said sincerely, "Going to Sister Lili's house would definitely be dangerous. Would you like to not go?"

After seeing how Scarlett charmed several people with just her original form, Zhuozhuo felt that the back of the continent was really dangerous, so she didn't want to take anyone else with her because she had to protect Cheng Su and couldn't take care of others.

"I want to go!"

Bethany was the first to respond, "Even if it's not for the mermaid royal family, not for saving the world, I'll go just to protect you, Zhuozhuo!"

Caroline Audrey and others followed closely behind.

Zhuozhuo was worried, "What if you died? Zhuozhuo would be sad and cry."

"Life and death are determined by fate. Saving the world is such an important matter, it concerns the survival of our race. How can we just sit back and wait for others to do it?"

“I like to take my destiny into my own hands.”

"Danger and opportunity coexist. As long as I don't die, I can't even imagine how much benefit I can get from saving the world."

After hearing this, those who were still hesitating no longer dared to hesitate and hurried back to the tent to pack up, fearing that they would be left behind.

Cheng Su washed Zhuo Zhuo's face and asked nonchalantly, "In such a dangerous place on the back of the continent, are you still willing to protect me?"

"Zhuozhuo has been protecting you."

Cheng Su smiled, "Yes, Zhuozhuo is so good."

The group was very active and set off as soon as they said they would. Before daybreak, they left Dragon Island in groups.

Zhuozhuo first transformed into a mermaid and swam in the sea with Bethany and the others, chasing away sea beasts and flightless people like her guard Caroline. When she got tired of swimming, she took to the sky. She had many forms: sometimes she transformed into the fiery red wings of an orc, sometimes she flapped the small fleshy wings of a dragon, and sometimes she transformed herself into glowing wings using a small ball of light.

This trip to the battlefield where the future was uncertain and life and death were unpredictable was turned into a sightseeing trip by Zhuozhuo, with laughter and joy all the way.

Ten days later, they arrived at the edge of the continent, a desolate and barren land that seemed like the end of the world. A barrier, whether natural or man-made, separated the front and back of the continent. It was said to isolate all living and dead things. However, with the help of Scarlett and the others, they successfully crossed the barrier and entered the back of the continent.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the howling cold wind blew mercilessly on his body. Zhuozhuo was almost blown away. For the first time, he threw a barrier on himself before Cheng Su, and the soft white light became the only source of light on this continent.

Zhuozhuo pulled Cheng Su and the others into the barrier, looked up at the sky, looked down at the ground, and said childishly, "There's nothing here, no stars, no trees, no grass, no flowers, no rabbits, no ants..."

Seeing this scene for the first time, everyone was almost drowned by the eternal darkness, feeling so heavy-hearted that they could hardly breathe. Zhuozhuo's crisp voice was like a bell waking up from a nightmare, allowing them to regain control of their bodies and perceptions. They waited silently for Zhuozhuo to "not" finish.

Zhuozhuo finally looked at Scarlett and said in admiration, "There are people here who are as strong as Sister Lili. You are amazing."

Scarlett's eyes softened for a moment, and she pointed to a darker, thicker patch of color ahead. "That's the mountain. The one facing us now is the side. We'll go to the south later. The former king is there."

Everyone looked up, following the colored blocks, and saw only unchanging darkness. An unshakable despair inexplicably lingered in their hearts.

Zhuozhuo said sadly, "So many people are crying."

Cheng Su's heart tightened, "Baby, did you hear something? Don't be afraid. No one is crying. Leave them alone."

"Crying on the mountain." Zhuozhuo pointed at the blocks of color in front of him and described them carefully. "They are black, like burnt sweet potatoes, twisted and distorted, howling and crying."

As he spoke, Zhuozhuo tried to break away from Cheng Su and move forward, as if he was bewitched by a ghost.

Cheng Su's expression changed drastically. He flicked Zhuo Zhuo's forehead hard and nervously watched her reaction, "Zhuo Zhuo, wake up!"

"Cheng Su!"

Zhuozhuo's expression didn't change at all. He stared at Cheng Su with his big eyes, covering his forehead with one hand and holding a small ball of light in the other hand, about to smash it on Cheng Su's head.

Cheng Su grabbed Zhuo Zhuo's little fist and hit his head with it, apologizing sincerely, "I'm sorry, baby. I thought you were in danger. Some demons create illusions to lure people away and kill them. If you don't believe me, you can ask Scarlett."

"Sister Lili, is this true?"

The little girl asked without hesitation, which made Cheng Su sad for a second because of their fake father-daughter relationship.

Although she really wanted to see Cheng Su being hated by Zhuozhuo, Scarlett nodded honestly because it concerned Zhuozhuo's safety. "Yes, some demons can change their appearance, turning into treasures or dying people, tricking people into approaching and then waiting for an opportunity to kill them. Master Zhuozhuo, the danger here comes not only from the environment, but also from demons. You must be careful and don't take anything you see."

Zhuozhuo nodded, "Yeah, let Cheng Su get it."

Cheng Su: “…”

He was tired of talking about this fake father-daughter relationship.

However, because the competition between demons is too cruel, these traps basically take advantage of people's greed and malice rather than kindness and compassion, which is actually very safe for Zhuozhuo.

This is the edge of the back of the continent, but it is also the edge of the mountains. It is one of the channels for communication between the north and the south, so it is very lively.

Less than half an hour later, they had already witnessed over a dozen fights, including the one Scarlett had highlighted: a phantom demon posing as a dying person to lure people into stealing treasure. They watched helplessly as a demon approached a severely injured imp on the ground with smug glee and ferocity, only to be snapped by the imp in an instant, snapping its neck. The positions of prey and hunter were instantly reversed, leaving everyone feeling a mixture of emotions.

Like the other demons, everyone passed by silently, not interfering. Zhuozhuo leaned over Cheng Su's shoulder, looking back, and whispered in his ear, "The little demon found a small cube from the bad demon and jumped for joy."

Look again, "The little cube contained water. The little devil licked it, a mouthful, half a mouthful. The little devil wrapped the little cube up, wrapped it in many layers, and put it in his arms."

Zhuozhuo paused, "Cheng Su, I'm thirsty."

Cheng Su took out a kettle from the storage space and opened the lid. Inside was a soft straw. No one knew what it was made of. "Drink slowly, don't choke."

He slowed down.

Zhuozhuo gulped down some water, then suddenly realized something, "Cheng Su, there's no water here."

She looked at Scarlett, "Sister Lili, is there no water here?"

She held the kettle in both hands and said, "Drink some water."

Scarlett smiled and touched Zhuo Zhuo's little face. She said, "There is water here, but the water resources are scarce. The water sources are controlled by powerful demons. If weak demons want to drink water, they need to spend a lot of money to buy it."

"Sister Lili, do you have a water source?"

"have."

Zhuozhuo took out a small glass ball from his arms, "Zhuozhuo also has water, lots and lots of it."

The Dryad leader immediately recognized this as their sacred ground. Within the sacred ground was a rare, self-circulating waterfall, which Cheng Su had also dug up. It was no exaggeration to say that this amount of water would allow Zhuo Zhuo to become the dominant force here.

"This is a gift from Cheng Su to Zhuo Zhuo. It can't be given away. But," Zhuo Zhuo waved her little hand and said generously, "If you're thirsty, tell Zhuo Zhuo and he'll give you some water. It's free. Drink as much as you want."

"Okay, thank you, King Zhuozhuo."

Another half hour passed before they arrived at a stone-walled city. Scarlett led them to a teleportation array, explaining, "Not only are all kinds of survival resources scarce here, but even magicka regeneration is very slow. To avoid being left in a weakened state, everyone is trying to save as much as possible. Taking the teleportation array to the royal city is much more cost-effective than flying there ourselves."

This is why, despite their powerful abilities, phantom demons haven't fared so well. This is because most phantom demons employ a wait-and-see approach, maintaining their illusion regardless of whether or not a fish has been hooked, which consumes a significant amount of energy. Often, phantom demons wait for prey only to run out of mana and be killed. Even if they succeed, both sides often suffer losses, with passersby picking up the slack.

The teleportation array is expensive, but it is really fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the group was standing in a larger and more prosperous city. The architectural style here was simple and rough. Demons with human-like appearances were walking around on the streets. There were shops and hawkers on the street. It looked somewhat similar to the orc city.

Zhuozhuo twisted his little body and turned his head to look around, then he remembered to ask, "Sister Lili, why did you come to see the late king?"

"Demons respect the strong. To gain their obedience, one must either defeat them or seize supreme power," Scarlett explained. "Fighting them one by one is too troublesome. Becoming the Demon King is the easiest way."

Zhuozhuo suddenly remembered that Scarlett had said she wanted to be the Demon King. She said childishly, "Ah, Zhuozhuo is going to fight again."

She held the little ball of light in her hand and said adorably, "Come on, baby."

Cheng Su also remembered that Zhuozhuo had said that a god protected her, so it must be one of her parents. The embodiment of the god's power might be this small ball of light. So, hadn't this Ye Dad and Ye Mom always been fighting alongside Zhuozhuo?

There is an outsider between him and Zhuozhuo!

Can't tolerate it.

Cheng Su held Zhuo Zhuo's little hand, "Baby, the Demon King has lived for so many years, he must have some unknown self-protection methods. Just in case, I will leave some magic power in you to protect you at the critical moment."

"Okay."

He's so thoughtful.

9972 was moved and thought that it would be okay to put Cheng Su on the visiting relatives list. Zhuozhuo already had so many fathers waiting in line, so one more wouldn't be a big deal.

Scarlett has a special identity. As soon as she entered the city, she was discovered and reported to the Demon King.

"I have to go to the palace immediately, otherwise the late king will send someone to pick me up. You should find a place to settle down first, and I will come out to find you later."

Zhuozhuo asked childishly, "Is it because he likes you so much that he wants to see you right away?"

"That's about right." Scarlett chuckled. "I can't wait to meet him either."

Cheng Su raised his eyebrows, "Then are you willing to let him die?"

In his memory, the two of them were very affectionate when they were together, but every time Scarlett was very active in killing the Demon King, for unknown reasons, which confused him. This time, he took the opportunity to ask her, and Scarlett would probably not lie to Zhuozhuo's face.

Zhuozhuo was also waiting for Scarlett's answer curiously.

Scarlett's expression became serious. To her, this was not a simple matter of personal feelings. It was an assessment of her by her future boss. This boss had a very different background, values, and outlook from her. If she was not careful, she might violate a taboo.

After careful consideration, Scarlett said, "The late king was powerful and handsome. He generously gave me power and often went out to suppress rebellions instead of returning home. Naturally, I like him. But I love power more. However, I am not a fool who is blinded by power. I will not challenge insurmountable mountains."

These words not only showed that he and the Demon King had no deep feelings for each other, but also revealed his sincerity, showing that he was clear-headed and aware of the times and was someone who could be used with confidence.

Zhuozhuo was confused and didn't understand anything. He tilted his head and said, "That doesn't mean I have to kill him. If you want, I'll keep him for you to play with."

Everyone who heard this was shocked. Cheng Su smiled and asked, "Baby, where did you hear these words?"

Anyone who dares to say anything indecent to Zhuozhuo will be beheaded.

"Zhuozhuo thought of it himself."

"Oh." That's okay, the baby has a pretty free-spirited mind.

Scarlett remained amazed. She had thought Zhuozhuo was adorable, innocent, and kind, but she hadn't realized he could be so whimsical. However, Scarlett had no intention of keeping the late king. Firstly, she feared he might turn from love to hate and harm her, and secondly, his presence would undermine Zhuozhuo's authority. Scarlett was completely devoted to Zhuozhuo and would not tolerate anything that would affect the little savior's career.

Not wanting to delay too long, Scarlett left, and Audrey and the others went to find a place to stay. Zhuozhuo held Cheng Su's hand and went shopping. She said, "This place looks like the small town I saw when I came out of the forest just now."

The same rough buildings, the same tough pedestrians, and the same numerous taverns.

Cheng Su felt distressed. The little guy was a blank slate, entering this evil place for the first time in the world. He didn't know what he had encountered. He raised his voice slightly and guided Zhuo Zhuo to speak, "How are they similar?"

Zhuozhuo was caught off guard and told Cheng Su everything that happened after leaving the Elf Mother Tree. She even asked 9972 to play the video for her to watch for some things she couldn't remember clearly.

Only then did Cheng Su realize they had nearly met so long ago, only to be interrupted by the system. If it had happened sooner... it wouldn't necessarily have been better than it is now. No, it would have most likely been worse. Back then, he had just awakened, cynical and wanting to destroy everything. He would have resorted to more drastic measures against Zhuo Zhuo, disgusted by her and fighting with her, gradually evolving into an irreconcilable feud.

Don't think too much, cherish every minute of the present. Cheng Su lifted Zhuozhu up and shook her, then put her on his neck with his backhand, supported her, and jogged among the pedestrians.

Zhuozhuo laughed happily, "Ride a big horse——"

Cheng Su also felt happy and couldn't help laughing. He moved through the streets and alleys as fast as the wind. He didn't get angry when he met those who were blind and tried to cause trouble. He just walked around them.

Suddenly, Zhuozhuo hugged Cheng Su's head tightly and said, "Stop, stop, stop."

Cheng Su, like a wild horse with its reins pulled in, immediately came to a steady stop, looked at the shops on both sides and said with a smile, "What do you want?"

Zhuozhuo pointed to a narrow alley, "Go there."

Cheng Su walked over.

I saw a man lying at the entrance of the alley.

"He's still alive. Zhuozhuo wants to help him?"

The man had no hidden possessions around him or on him, making it difficult to tell if he was a phantom demon. However, Cheng Su didn't want to risk Zhuozhuo's life. Worried the little guy might follow his example and become cold-blooded, Cheng Su explained earnestly, "I'm saying a gentleman doesn't stand on a dangerous wall. Baby, this is too dangerous. We're not completely sure. It's best not to save him, or else..."

"It's easy to lose things!" Zhuozhuo suddenly said, "Cheng Su, this is the person who caused me to have my life-extending fruit stolen."

9972 suspected this passerby wasn't a phantom demon. After all, a dying demon could barely maintain its human form, so a phantom demon wouldn't make such a common-sense mistake. Similar to Cheng Su's thoughts, it prepared to scan to see if it could find any information about the person and determine if they were good or bad, only to discover that this person was actually an old acquaintance.

9972 immediately told Zhuozhuo not to save this big fool.

After hearing this, Zhuozhuo wanted to save him very much. "How did he get here? I want to ask him."

9972 muttered softly, "Fools have good fortune."

Just like last time when he was chosen by Zhuo Zhuo among so many people on the street, this time he was seen by Zhuo Zhuo again in a hidden alley.

Lucky boy.

Cheng Su had an almost instinctive hostility towards this person. After thinking about it, he thought it was probably because this person delayed him from working like a slave for Zhuo Zhuo. "..."

His thoughts have been so weird lately.

But after this interruption, Cheng Su didn't try to stop him. He placed Zhuo Zhuo on the ground and cast layer after layer of protective barrier. Cheng Su then turned the man over and examined him. "He's fainted, but he won't die for now. I'll give him some water."

"Okay."

Zhuozhuo looked at him and said, "Tongtong, look at his injuries."

9972 scanned and compared them, and was surprised, [Baby, the injuries on his body are the same as when we first met, plus some new ones.]

Regardless of whether or not the person received proper treatment, as long as he was not dead, the injury would always get better after a few months, but this person's old injury did not change at all.

Zhuozhuo told Cheng Su about his discovery and concluded like a little adult: "This isn't a human, is it?"

"Maybe." Cheng Su became more cautious.

After being fed water, the man quickly woke up. He scanned Cheng Su with dull eyes, and when he saw Zhuozhuo, a light flashed in his eyes, as if a robot suddenly scanned its target.

Zhuozhuo waved, "Hello, do you still remember me?"

The man stared at her without reacting.

"May I have your name?"

"How did you get here?"

"Did you get the Life-Extending Fruit back?"

Perhaps triggered by a key word, the man opened his mouth and said slowly and hoarsely, "Life-extending...fruit, eat it."

"Then what are you doing here?"

The man didn't respond again.

Zhuozhuo asked Cheng Su and 9972 for help, "Is he stupid?"

One person, one system, gave a negative answer from the perspective of science and metaphysics respectively.

Zhuozhuo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take him back?"

As she asked this, she had already skillfully thrown out a small ball of light to tie the man's wrists.

Cheng Su sealed the man's energy channels and cast a barrier around him to prevent him from attacking anyone. He then carefully instructed Zhuo Zhuo, "You can take him back, but you can't be alone with him, and you can't let him run around."

"All right."

Zhuozhuo, holding the light rope, skipped ahead, the man following slowly, sometimes stumbling under the force of Zhuozhuo's pull. Cheng Su walked last, just in case the man did anything unexpected.

The journey was peaceful.

When Zhuozhuo was watching a scene where a man was beaten up by the store owner after drinking too much, he ran into Bethany who came to look for someone, and they went back to their residence together.

Everyone was quite interested in the man, and after gathering around to study him for a while, they dispersed when nothing came of their research. After a tiring journey, they ate and washed up, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Scarlett arrived as promised and brought some bad news, "The late king is going to the mainland, sir, we must kill him as soon as possible!"

A figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door. Scarlett held her breath for a moment, and after seeing the person clearly, she said, "Is this the person the adults brought back last night? Is there anything special about him?"

"Special. But he doesn't say anything, so I can't tell you." Zhuozhuo was a little distressed. This man was like a switch. Whenever she saw him, she felt that there was something urgent waiting for her to do, but she didn't know what it was.

It's uncomfortable to be hanging there like this, neither up nor down.

Scarlett immediately seized this opportunity to demonstrate her ability to solve the problem for the lord. She dragged the man to another room, worked on him, and then sent him back with a heavy expression, "My lord, I am incompetent. I can't make him speak."

"It doesn't matter. Leave him alone." Zhuozhuo glanced at the man angrily and asked Cheng Su, "Where are we going to play?"

"You're already thinking about playing before you even have breakfast." Cheng Su fumbled with the comb, combing Zhuozhuo's hair. After fiddling with it for a long time, tugging at her hair until her head shook, her face distorted, and she hissed constantly, Cheng Su successfully tied two small braids into her hair.

Scarlett wanted to recommend herself several times, but she was also wondering why no one else took the initiative to grab the job these days. She thought there might be some secret, so she decided to observe for a few more days.

After dinner, Scarlett urged Zhuozhuo to go and fight with the late king.

Zhuozhuo had no interest in fighting with a stranger, "But I want to go dig the mountain."

She had been thinking about digging the mountain for so long, and now that she thought of it, she seemed to have a definite goal, and she became anxious all of a sudden, "Hurry up, let's go dig the mountain."

Cheng Su keenly noticed Zhuo Zhuo's emotional changes, and an outrageous guess emerged in his mind. Could this mysterious man be related to Gao Shan?

He deliberately mentioned Gao Shan several times, but the man didn't react in any special way, so he had to give up for the time being.

After quickly packing up and heading out, Zhuozhuo started running, "Let's go dig the mountain, dig the mountain to fill the abyss!"

The man's lips moved, "Abyss... bury it..."

He rushed towards Zhuo Zhuo, stared at her intently, and roared hoarsely, "Bury her! Abyss! Bury her! Quick, quick!"

Zhuozhuo was startled, and the inexplicable impulse in her heart disappeared. She tilted her head to look at the man, and a light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly said something shocking, "Are you, Tiandao?"

The man shuddered all over and froze in place in a strange posture, like a monster whose true identity was exposed and frightened out of his wits.
