The orc uncles and aunts were still unhappy.

Jiaojiao, who had tried her best but failed to cheer up the orc uncles and aunts, squatted under the tree with a frown on her face, looking distressed.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves on the tree to rustle. The orcs sitting under the tree squinted their eyes and quietly set their sights on the little god.

Seeing the little god squatting on the ground with a frown on his face, the orcs also frowned unconsciously. They preferred to see the little god smiling carefreely with his face tilted up. An emotion like annoyance was not suitable for the little god's white and soft face, let alone the fact that this annoyance came from them.

We have to find a way to make the little god happy!

The orcs who were thinking hard with their heads down began to become lively.

After squatting on the ground for a while, Jiaojiao climbed up with her hands on the ground and her butt sticking out.

The orcs who were secretly looking at Jiaojiao immediately looked away when they saw this.

"Uncles, aunts, Jiaojiao is going home for dinner. I'll come to coax you next time. Remember to be happy." After saying this, Jiaojiao ran towards Brother Zella with her short legs, raised her head and stretched out her hands: "Brother Zella, hold me."

Zela bent down, picked him up, and walked back the way they came. When they were completely gone, Jiaojiao leaned out and waved her little hand, saying in a tender little voice, "Goodbye, uncle, aunts."

The beastmen in the valley stretched their heads to look at the little god, and only withdrew their gaze reluctantly after it disappeared from their sight.

The entire valley suddenly fell silent. The orcs' minds, which had just become lively, dissipated with the departure of the little god. What filled their hearts again was heaviness, depression, and self-loathing that was filled with hatred and sorrow that they didn't know how to vent.

The departure of the little god was like a ray of sunshine that suddenly came and went, plunging the area into darkness and dampness again.

"Dad." Jiaojiao called out in a small voice as soon as she returned to the yard. When she saw her father standing under the tree, she immediately ran up with her short legs and hugged his legs, looking up with a soft smile: "Dad, Jiaojiao misses me."

Hesnemen looked down at the little guy who was hugging his legs and said he missed him, raised his eyebrows, squatted down and touched his flat belly: "I see you don't miss me, you want to eat."

"No." Jiaojiao stood on tiptoe and rubbed her chubby face against her father's face, saying with a smile: "Jiaojiao is missing Daddy."

Hesniemen's eyes were filled with smiles, and he picked up the spoiled Jiaojiao and said, "Do you want to eat?"

"Yes." Jiaojiao held her belly and smiled at her father: "I want to eat the food that Dad cooks. The food that Dad cooks is the most delicious."

"You're acting like a spoiled child again." Hesniemen smiled and pinched Jiaojiao's chubby face.

Jiaojiao tilted her head and rubbed her father's hand. Her bright eyes were filled with undisguised dependence as she looked at her father. Her voice was childish and serious, "I'm not being coquettish. Jiaojiao really loves Daddy the most. I want to be with Daddy every day, so I miss Daddy every time I'm away from him."

Hesnemen's heart softened. He held Jiaojiao in his arms, rubbed his chin on his furry head, and a smile appeared in his eyes from under his drooping eyelids.

After taking a short break after lunch, Hesniemen took Jiaojiao for a walk in the yard to help digest the food.

Jiaojiao walked with her head down, holding onto her father's robe, very carefully.

Hesnemen, noticing his abnormality, reached out and tugged at his furry ears: "What are you doing?"

Jiaojiao raised her head and smiled at her father: "Jiaojiao is avoiding Daddy's shadow."

Hesnemen looked down at his own shadow, then at the small shadow next to his own shadow. On a whim, he stretched out his foot and stepped on the edge of the bright shadow.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao's already round eyes widened even wider, and she immediately ran away with her feet clattering: "How could Daddy step on Jiaojiao's shadow?"

Hesnemen, amused by Jiaojiao's reaction, curled his eyes, strode forward, and stepped on his shadow again under Jiaojiao's wide-open eyes.

Jiaojiao looked down at her own shadow that was stepped on, then looked up at her father's smiling face, sighed softly in a pretentious manner, then ran away swinging her hands, playing the shadow-stepping game with her father.

Hesniemen, who took in the expression on Jiaojiao's little face, had an inexplicable illusion of being spoiled. He couldn't help but laugh, strode forward, picked up Jiaojiao and threw her into the air.

Jiaojiao was not afraid at all when she was suddenly thrown up, and she laughed happily.

Hearing Jiaojiao's laughter, Hesnemen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

After playing with Jiaojiao for a while, it was time for his usual nap. Hesniemen held Jiaojiao in his arms and lay on the bed, telling him stories and gently patting his back to coax him to sleep.

Jiaojiao was still a little excited and not sleepy yet. She leaned in her father's arms and looked up at him. At first, she would respond in a baby voice, but soon she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Listening to the steady breathing sound coming from his arms, Hesnemen lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping Jiaojiao, and with a smile in his eyes, he gently rested his chin on his furry head. Feeling the obedient little ball in his arms, a fluffy comfort passed through his heart, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

While Jiaojiao and her father were taking a nap, the orcs in the deserted city became busy.

They went to the Bien Forest, the North River, or even further.

Two days passed in a flash. Jiaojiao was now sitting under a tree in the yard with her brother Zela and sister Arela, weaving a small bed for her father.

Hesnemen fell into a deep sleep again. Jiaojiao wanted his shrunken father to sleep more comfortably, so he planned to put his father in a backpack with more space to sleep. He also asked his brother Zela to help him weave a small bamboo bed and put it in the backpack for his father to sleep.

Zera has very skillful hands and can always weave many beautiful and interesting things to please the little gods. Weaving a small bamboo bed is no problem at all. It took her about half an hour to finish it.

After the bamboo bed was woven, Arela's small quilt was also made.

Jiaojiao took the small quilt from sister Arela and spread it on the small bamboo bed. After brother Zela helped put the small bamboo bed into the backpack and secured it, she carefully carried her shrunken father into the backpack.

Carefully tucking in the quilt for her father who was sleeping in the crib, Jiaojiao carefully put the backpack on her back, then walked out of the yard holding her sister Arela's hand and her brother Zera's clothes, intending to go to the barnyard to fulfill her promise to please the orc uncles and aunts.

Jiaojiao is a good child who keeps his promises.

In the valley, the moment the little spirit appeared in his sight, Erwens stood up subconsciously.

He stood up and looked down at the thing in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he strode forward. When he came to Jiaojiao who was held by Zella, he handed over the thing in his hand: "Here."

Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then blinked after seeing the beautiful thing in front of her that she had never seen before. She asked curiously, "Uncle Erwens, what is this?"

Erwens lowered his eyes and looked at the thing in his hand made of broken jade pieces hanging together and said, "This is a wind chime."

"Wind chimes?"

"Hmm." Erwens picked up the wind chime and shook it. The jade pieces collided with each other and made a tinkling sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.

This is what he found in the human city.

In the past, whenever they gave some small gifts to the little gods, the little gods would be so happy that their eyes would smile.

The orcs thought for a long time in the valley that day, but could not come up with any effective way to please the little god. In the end, they chose the simplest method: giving gifts.

Knowing that there was nothing good in the deserted city, they left.

The sound of the wind chimes was very pleasant. Jiaojiao looked at the thing in front of her that could make beautiful sounds with curiosity, and looked up at Erwens and asked, "Uncle Erwens, can I touch it?"

Erwens handed the wind chime in his hand to Jiaojiao again: "Okay, this one is for you."

The wind chime made of broken jade reflected a beautiful luster in the sunlight. Jiaojiao, who received the gift, hugged the wind chime and smiled softly at Erwens: "Thank you, Uncle Erwens, I like it very much."

Facing the little god's smiling eyes, Erwens smiled, and the black lines that almost occupied his entire face seemed to move as he smiled.

The black lines on Erwens' face were caused by him being infected by the black fog after he went to the human city.

But he didn't care. As early as the moment the gods were betrayed, life on the entire continent entered a countdown.

It's just that his countdown is a little faster now.

The gods who were betrayed by the creatures want to eliminate the creatures on this continent.

Under the will of the gods, no life can survive this catastrophe, including orcs.

The orcs knew clearly that they were not special in any way to the gods.

In the eyes of the gods, whether it is the celestial race, the human race, the elves or the beasts, they are all flawed creations that need to be destroyed.

The orcs who clearly understood this were all very calm.

They fully agreed with the views of the gods that they were all a group of flawed creatures who had long been soaked in the swamp of decay and stench.

"Uncle Erwens, here you go." After receiving the gift, Jiaojiao grabbed a handful of candy from her pocket in front of her belly and put it in Erwens' hand.

Erwens came back to his senses and looked at the candy in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at the little god in front of him.

In the sunlight, the little god's dark and bright eyes seemed to contain starlight.

The little god's eyes were very beautiful, this was an idea unanimously agreed upon by the orcs. They had seen many kinds of eyes, such as the dark green that was the most representative of the elves, the dark blue of the mermaids, and the sky blue of the celestials. These colors of eyes were undoubtedly beautiful, but the orcs' favorite were the little god's eyes.

Those extremely black eyes seemed to represent the light best in this world.

Bright and clean, like the sunshine on a spring morning.

When the little god looks at you with such eyes and a soft smile on his face with curved eyebrows, all the negative, complicated and overwhelming emotions seem to be isolated in another space.

It was like being suddenly dragged away from a damp place and suddenly exposed to the not-so-bright sunlight. I could feel the wind caressing my skin and the fragrance of grass and trees falling on my nose. My body and mind exuded a sense of comfort and laziness from the inside out.

Jiaojiao came to the valley with the purpose of cheering up the orc uncles and aunts, but not only did she fail to achieve her goal, she was almost buried by the gifts given by the orc uncles and aunts.

Jiaojiao was very happy to receive the gifts. She gave candies to all the uncles and aunts one by one as a thank you. Soon the candies in her pocket were gone.

Looking down at the empty bag, Jiaojiao looked up at Uncle Xionghe's gaze and blinked innocently. She spread out her white and tender hands and said softly, "Tangtang is gone. Jiaojiao will bring it to Uncle Xionghe tomorrow, okay?"

Xiong He smiled and said, "Okay."

Jiaojiao curved her eyes, climbed up to the tree roots and sat down, swinging her legs as she told her uncles and aunts the story she had prepared long ago.

The orcs sitting in the valley stared at the little god without blinking, with a smile and ease in the depths of their eyes that they themselves were not aware of.

Time passed quickly. When the sunset filled the sky, Jiaojiao, who was about to leave in Zela's arms, suddenly pointed to the distant sky and said, "Dark."

The orcs stared at the little god and looked in the direction the little god pointed. They saw that under the red sky in the distance, black fog suddenly appeared and occupied half of the sky at an extremely fast speed, like a high wave on the sea, slamming down on the entire wasteland from high above.
