City of Chaos 03

Ning Ren took a step forward.

He walked very slowly, as if he was still worried. As soon as Jie Ling made a move, he would immediately turn around and run.

It's a very small ball.

Jie Ling was extremely patient and did not move. The first thing she saw was Ning Ren's red cloak, which had become dirty, and his exposed, dirty black little feet.

And... the silver tail behind the child that appeared when he walked.

It's a silver-tailed Mirissa cub.

Even if this cub is not the leader's child, in the chaotic city dominated by the Mi tribe, the silver-tailed cub, as the head of the three major branches, must not be abandoned and should never be in such a place.

The child came closer and closer, and I still couldn't see his face clearly, but I could see a few strands of gray-blue hair showing from under his cloak.

The same gray-blue color as the leader.

Jie Ling exhaled softly and coaxed in a low voice, "This blue candy tastes like the sky. It's the best."

The child's attention was immediately drawn to the candy, and he quickened his pace. He finally stopped a meter away from Jie Ling and picked up the blue candy.

Only took one piece.

Jie Ling: "There are others, you can take them all."

Ning Ren pointed to the packet of cookies he had given him: "One for one."

A fair exchange.

Jie Ling was silent for two seconds, then opened the glass ball in her palm.

Children are easily attracted to transparent and shiny things, and Ning Ren is no exception.

Jie Ling: "Does it look good?"

Ning Ren took another small step forward.

Jie Ling smiled: "Do you want to touch it?"

The child looked through the gap in his cloak and seemed to be moved by the friendly aura he exuded.

After a while.

He stretched out his hand from behind his back and stopped mid-air. Jie Ling's calm gaze did not make the cub feel threatened, so he hesitated for a moment before gently poking his finger -

The trembling golden thread stopped.

After two or three seconds, the blood drop in the middle emitted a bright blue light, flew out of the glass ball, sank into the child's eyebrows, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson beam of light suddenly rose somewhere in the northernmost part of the Chaos City.

Jie Ling's pupils constricted, and he looked up suddenly, his heart pounding.

-

A prison for criminals.

Nianlie was originally selecting a suitable criminal slave, but he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

He suddenly looked due north.

I saw a crimson beam of light in the sky, announcing its existence in an extremely ostentatious manner.

"That's—"

"The Sacrificial Light Pillar! It's the inherited light of the Sacrificial Light Pillar!"

The subordinates around him all saluted in the direction of the light column, and when it disappeared, they excitedly whispered:

"The leader has chosen his successor!"

"Great! The next leader has finally appeared. Brothers can rest assured!"

"Hahaha, those idiots of Chima said that we don't have a young master in Chaos City. Let's slap them in the face."

"Inspector Zuo, you—"

They all have a long tail behind them, as thick as an adult's arm, more than one meter long, with a sharp and cold tail tip and different colors.

The subordinates looked at Henlie.

The fierce look on his face was extremely ugly.

These subordinates were not aware of this, but he and Jie Ling both knew that the leader had been in a deep sleep and had only woken up three times in five years. How could he have chosen a successor together with the sacrificial light pillar?

Who on earth had the wrong idea to try to gain recognition from the Light Pillar?

The tip of his ferocious tongue touched his upper palate, his long red tail swung fiercely on the ground, and his pupils were faintly filled with a fierce and bloody smell.

"Walk!"

That bastard Jie Ling is such a loser, what the hell is he doing?!

This night is destined to shock the city of chaos.

No one noticed.

In the most heavily guarded bedroom in the Central Royal City, the man who had been lying quietly on the bed and sleeping for a long time moved his fingers slightly.

-

[Hiss, so cool.]

[What is that? The ball glowed when the cub touched it.]

That beam of light looks pretty cool, too.

[I have a bold idea. Is this gentlemanly scoundrel elite man the father of the child? ]

[Uh, it doesn’t feel like it]

[Isn't the child's family poor? This person's clothes don't look bad either...]

[The handsome man in the suit also looks shocked]

Jie Ling closed his palms and gently held Ning Ren's hand along with the glass ball.

The moment the little red ball touched the glass ball, he had already determined its identity.

He is indeed the chief's child.

But in the City of Chaos, whoever is the leader's child will be the next leader's successor.

The Mi tribe has a sacrificial light pillar that has been passed down for thousands of years. The light pillar is spiritual, and every time a successor is chosen, the current leader discusses with it.

After the selection, the current leader will take out a drop of his own blood, which will be integrated into the next leader's forehead by the sacrificial light column and regarded as the orthodox inheritance.

But the drop of blood in this glass ball was clearly given to him by Si Mao to find the little guy in front of him...but now it has accidentally triggered the inheritance recognition of the sacrificial light column.

Especially since the child in front of him was less than five years old.

According to the records of the Mi people, the priest of Light Pillar had never chosen such a young successor.

Si Mao had never told him about this situation.

If the leader's bloodline is not taken seriously by the entire Chaos City, then with the identity of this young master recognized by the sacrificial light pillar, this child in front of them can immediately be regarded by the entire clan as more important than their own tail.

Treasures are precious, but when they are unique, they become the most precious.

Jie Ling came back to her senses from the shock and immediately felt annoyed that her decision to go out alone was too hasty.

He even felt that there were dangerous things lurking in the darkness around him, ready to attack the cub in front of him at any time.

Jie Ling quickly calmed down. The most important thing at the moment was to send the young master back safely.

"Do you have a name?"

Ning Ren's hands were very cold. He didn't know what he was wearing under the cloak. His feet were still on the ground. Although it was a warm summer, it was still a little cold at night for the cubs.

"My name is A Ren."

"Okay, Aren."

Jie Ling's voice is very elegant and gentle, and it has a soothing effect when it softens.

He took off his suit jacket and put it on the child, not caring that the hem of the jacket hung on the ground and got dirty. "Come back with me, okay? I'll take you to find your father."

Ning Ren opened his eyes wide: "!!!"

"good!"

Isn’t father just dad?

He hurriedly urged, "Let's go, let's go."

"No."

Ning Ren looked at him in confusion.

Jie Ling: "I'll carry you away."

He stretched out his hand and held Ning Ren in his arms, supporting him with one hand and pressing the other hand on the child's back with a slightly unfamiliar touch.

This was the way other parents held their babies when he was patrolling the City of Chaos. Jie Ling never thought that he would use this method one day.

Ning Ren rested his chin on the kind uncle's shoulder and exclaimed, "You're taller than a trash can!"

Jie Ling: “…”

Ning Ren asked: "Uncle, what is Dad like?"

Jie Ling: "You'll know when you see it."

Ning Ren: "Oh."

Then he asked, "Can Dad eat it?"

“…”

Jie Ling: “No.”

All right.

Dad is not food, and you cannot eat him even if you find him.

"Just call daddy daddy?"

"You can ask for the name yourself. It would be disrespectful for me to tell you."

"Did Dad ask you to come find me?"

"It's a cat."

"Wow, can I pet the cat?"

"That's probably not possible. She's very fierce."

Jie Ling realized that the cub in her arms had a strange understanding of the world. She didn't know who it had followed to grow up to this size, or how it got here.

She clearly followed him as soon as he said "looking for father", but she didn't know the specific meaning of the word "father".

And he was always wearing a red cloak, hiding himself tightly from beginning to end.

Ning Ren stretched out his hand and looked at it, then looked down at his uncle's clean clothes, feeling ashamed.

“I’m a dirty kid.”

“It’s not dirty.”

"I got my clothes dirty because I was picking up trash."

Jie Ling paused, patted the child on the back, and said, "I won't do that again."

No race would dare to let their leader's children pick up trash in the city of chaos.

The audience and the system in the live broadcast room were amazed by how cute it was.

The system held its chin and looked at Ning Ren, thinking what a good cub. When the Lord God handed the cub to it, how could he say that Ning Ren was a bad little devil?

Ning Ren was held obediently.

He had never been held like this before, even in the Lord God's space. The Lord God had no entity, only consciousness, so he could not hold him.

The only time he felt like he was being hugged was when he plucked out the Lord God's soul whiskers, piled them into a nest and crawled into it.

The child looked at the garbage pile that was getting farther and farther away from him, his head nodding and his eyes squinting sleepily: "A Ren wants to sleep."

Jie Ling: "Go to sleep."

Ning Ren fell into a deep sleep.

Jie Ling tried her best to relax her muscles, and carried him directly to the inner city through a shortcut. Before entering the city, he looked around vigilantly.

The person in his arms was the next leader recognized by the Sacrificial Light Pillar. The leader had been in a deep sleep, and the Sacrificial Light Pillar took the initiative to recognize him as the next leader. I wonder if it was God's blessing on the City of Chaos that sent this young master here.

But Ning Ren was too young. The cubs of the Mi tribe had to drink milk before they were five years old.

He never thought that the young master was so young and made a living by picking up garbage... so much so that all his previous training plans were overturned, and he was even at a loss.

Jie Ling did not notify his subordinates who were still guarding Liren Wharf Bay because he was afraid that there might be foreign spies mixed in. If an accident happened, he would be blamed for it.

Only when he finally arrived at the Central Royal City did he breathe a sigh of relief. His back was already slightly wet from tension.

The cub in her arms was sleeping peacefully, breathing softly, and her messy gray-blue hair made her red cloak bulge.

Jie Ling smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, he had never seen what the young master looked like. The young master seemed to care a lot about the cloak he was wearing and kept pulling it with his hands.

The place where the chief lives is a huge and ancient palace. There is no greenery and it is inexplicably filled with a cold metallic feel.

As Jie Ling stepped into the palace, a sharp cold light came from the right.

The look behind his glasses suddenly turned cold, and the shirt on his back made a tearing sound. Six scarlet tentacles broke through the skin at the shoulder blades. One of them blocked the flying sharp knife, and the other five tentacles all protected in front of him, protecting the cub in his arms tightly from all sides.

Jie Ling's shadow on the ground looked like a monster. He spoke in a very low voice, but his cold anger could not be ignored.

“… fierce and fierce!”

Nenglie walked out of the darkness, with honey-colored skin, exotic features, half-naked chest, extremely distinct muscle contours, and every strand of his fiery red hair revealing his wildness and unruliness.

The tail behind him has entered a state of readiness.

Henlie narrowed his eyes. "You've revealed a form that even you hate... Jie Ling, does the Light Pillar sacrifice have anything to do with you?"

It seemed that the atmosphere around her had changed, and the cub in her arms felt it, and her breathing suddenly became less steady and peaceful than before.

Jie Ling gently covered the child's ears and frowned: "Yes."

"When the sacrificial light pillar appears, foreign tribes will come to visit one after another. Once the news of the leader's sleep spreads, how much turmoil will the Chaos City experience?!" Nian Lie gritted his teeth and took a step forward. "Jie Ling, we have been at loggerheads for so many years. Although I have always disliked you, I have never doubted your loyalty to the leader. You—"

"You'd better keep looking at me with disdain, and also, keep your voice down."

Fierce: "You bastard—"

Jie Ling's cold gaze pierced through the gaps between the tentacles, "You've disturbed the leader's child."

The fierce and insulting voices stopped abruptly.

“…”

“???”

Nianlie suspected Jie Ling was crazy: "Say it again?"

The tentacles surrounding Jie Ling slowly dispersed, revealing the cub sleeping soundly on his shoulder.

He repeated word by word, "This is the leader's child, the one who caused the unusual movement of the sacrificial light column just now, Mi Lisai, the young master of the Chaos City, and the next leader's successor."

The flying knife in Ninglie's hand fell down and directly pierced the instep of his foot.
