102 Mysterious Dream Fairy Tale (25)

Let the repairman be the best number one.

In response to Xie Zeyuan's resentful question, Qin Fu'an replied without changing his expression: "This is just a solution I came up with on the spot."

So, if anyone's to blame, it's Xie Zeyuan and those toys for being unlucky and not getting his "flash of inspiration."

His shameless answer almost made Xie Zeyuan try to kill him with her eyes.

Unfortunately, the intimidating look was clearly not very effective. Qin Fu'an not only showed no remorse or guilt, but also quickly ignored him.

During their confrontation, Little Sunflower quickly recovered from her shock and gave her own answer.

"I don't want to make any changes."

Little Sunflower's voice was very soft, carrying a hesitation that she herself could hardly perceive.

But it answered so quickly and without hesitation.

Meeting Qin Fu'an's questioning gaze, it hesitated for a moment before shaking its head and firmly refusing again: "Thank you for your kindness, repairman, but I don't want to change it, nor can I change it."

It has been in the Fairy Tale City since the moment it gained consciousness, and it was born looking the same way, which is why it has the ability to take out the little sun and share it with other toys.

Moreover, it can enter the dreams of other toys, bring them to the fairytale city, and retrieve their memories.

Unlike other toys, the little sunflower is unsure whether it can still function the same way as before after changing its body, or whether it can still possess those abilities.

The repairman needs more toys' hearts. If he makes a hasty change, neither the toys nor the repairman may get the desired result.

Moreover, even if it had previously envied Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan's powerful abilities, it didn't mean it wanted to make the same changes itself.

It did not want to easily change its appearance and nature just to gain the attention of the repairman.

The repairman had only known it for a few days, but his own body had been with him for years.

The little sunflower had long been accustomed to its round head and large leaves. It liked to prop its head up with its leaves and also liked to use its leaves to cover its face when it slept. It had lived with this body for many, many years. Even though it envied other toys for their different abilities, it was unwilling to easily give up its original appearance.

Even if we just change its original appearance, it won't work.

Little Sunflower looked at Qin Fu'an's beautiful green eyes, gave him a big smile, and said earnestly, "Mr. Repairman, I like myself very much as I am now. I don't have the pain that everyone is suffering, so don't worry about me. I'm fine as I am now."

It answered seriously and politely.

Little did it know that its soul was a little traitor. While it was still thinking, a thin, weak tentacle affectionately rested on Qin Fu'an's wrist, stumbling and stammering as it conveyed the thoughts of its main body.

Qin Fu'an hooked his fingertips around its slender, soft antennae, but his gaze toward the little sunflower was even more profound, and beneath the gentleness lay a chilling possessiveness.

He had told Little Sunflower in his dream that there were not only two kinds of beings in this world: humans and toys, but also other life forms such as demons and monsters.

In addition, he said that he could find a better place for the negative emotions, such as pain and despair, that were extracted from the toys.

But what he never told Xie Yunhuai was that the Tengshe clan, as divine beasts, or perhaps more accurately described as "great demons" now, also possessed abilities that most demons had.

For example: treating intense desire as food.

Just as most demons enjoy devouring humans when they are tortured to death in fear, or constantly tempt humans with their many greedy, foolish, and angry thoughts, what truly benefits them, besides the desire to eat human blood, is the immense desire aroused by the emotions induced in human souls under various circumstances.

Desires nurtured by extreme emotions are far more appealing to monsters than any spiritual energy or the essence of the sun and moon.

After all, in today's world, even human cultivators who are favored by the Heavenly Dao have not achieved anything, let alone demons. So why not follow their instincts, which can both satisfy their hunger and make them stronger?

Of course, as a great demon descended from the ancient Tengshe clan, Qin Fu'an had little interest in human flesh and blood, nor did he have any appetite for human souls filled with greed and desire.

But he also possesses the instincts of a demon, which is that he is naturally attracted to those with deep desires.

Greed, lust, resentment, fear, hunger...

Regardless of the nature of the desire, as long as the soul expands as a result, Qin Fu'an will inevitably be drawn to it.

Just like when he first saw Xie Yunhuai in the first instance school.

What truly attracted him was never Xie Yunhuai's appearance or soul, but the desire that kept clamoring in his ear.

The Xie Yunhuai in that instance was very hungry, so hungry that he was about to lose his mind, so hungry that those expanding, constantly writhing tentacles could silently devour the entire instance, including Xie Yunhuai himself, at some point.

Qin Fu'an had lived for over a thousand years and had never seen anyone with such extreme and profound desires, so for the first time, he was aroused to investigate.

The reason why Xie Yunhuai wasn't recognized immediately in this instance was not only because of the absence of those tentacles, but also because all the desires and souls of the little sunflower in this instance were used to support that huge and cumbersome dream.

In this instance, its only wish is for the toys to be happy again.

Now, Qin Fu'an sees his own existence reflected in this deep desire that originally had only one goal.

The three words "Qin Fu'an" that Little Sunflower silently recited in her heart were a hundred times more greedy and thirsty than the polite "Mr. Repairman" that she uttered.

But Qin Fu'an didn't feel offended at all.

On the contrary, the black teddy bear, out of the little sunflower's sight, looked at it with a gaze that was even more dangerous and deadly than the gaze it had given Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan.

"Could you please put it away?" Xie Zeyuan had to speak up to remind them: "Anyone who doesn't know the situation might think you're going to devour it whole."

It's not that I can't stand watching, it's just that this snake seems a bit reluctant to keep up the act, even though it was so patient before. What made it change like this overnight?

Upon hearing this, Qin Fu'an closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his seemingly gentle demeanor had vanished.

For Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan, the only two players still remaining in the instance, the time ahead was not actually urgent.

On the contrary, with the little sunflower's help in the dream, they felt much more at ease.

Qin Fu'an only needed to repair or alter the bodies of those toys, while Xie Zeyuan had nothing urgent to do. He spent his days either being fed dog food or hanging out with Little Sunflower to watch the jumbled memories cleared from the toys' memories to pass the time.

Such days were so leisurely and comfortable that even though there were only three days left until the one-month deadline, and they only had 189 toy hearts in their hands, Xie Zeyuan found it very difficult to feel any vigilance or panic.

Because Qin Fu'an was very calm, not only calm, he even abused his spiritual power to wash the dirty little sunflower clean, turning it into a clean, cute and lovable sunflower doll. Sometimes, looking at the little sunflower's soft head and even softer leaves, Xie Zeyuan would want to secretly pinch it a couple of times to test its feel when Qin Fu'an wasn't paying attention.

Unfortunately, he didn't carry out this dangerous idea in the end. It wasn't because he was afraid that Qin Fu'an would protect him and retaliate, but because just as he was about to try it, he heard Little Sunflower earnestly tell them that Fairy Tale City would be welcoming another batch of new toys today.

Upon hearing this utterly impossible news, even Xie Zeyuan, who was usually shrewd and calculating, was stunned and stood frozen in place.

Compared to his stunned expression, Qin Fu'an seemed to have anticipated this.

Under the sunflower's eager and joyful gaze, the black building block bear raised its hand and affectionately pinched its soft cheek.

"So these past few days, you haven't let us dream every night, just so you can secretly go and get new toys behind my back?"

Although his words were accusatory, his tone was incredibly gentle. Little Sunflower, exposed by his words, felt the pressure on her cheek and nodded hesitantly.

But soon, under Qin Fu'an's worried gaze, it whispered an explanation: "...Don't worry about me. Fairy Tale City hasn't had any new residents for a very long time, but, but ever since everyone became happy and positive, I've been able to dream of new toys again."

So, when Little Sunflower learned from Xie Zeyuan that they were still missing some of the toys they needed, she secretly went to collect those toys in her dream.

Previously, after acquiring a toy, it would take a very long time to retrieve and repair its memories of it. But this time, with a new method, it only needs to retrieve the happy memories, which greatly shortens the time.

So in just twenty days, Little Sunflower worked overtime in her dreams and finally collected 12 toys.

"Wait a minute..." Xie Zeyuan couldn't help but interrupt it, asking in confusion, "Why are there 12 toys?"

They were only 11 toy hearts away from each other?

The next second, Xie Zeyuan felt what it meant to humiliate himself, what it meant to offer his face to be slapped.

At that moment, the clean, soft-looking, and seemingly harmless little sunflower, its leaves slightly bent in a somewhat reserved manner, stood behind Qin Fu'an, peeking out half its head, and answered softly and somewhat shyly:

"Because, because I want the repairman to be the best, number one."

That's why I went to great lengths to bring an extra toy to the Fairy Tale City.

Although it might seem a bit unfair to the increasingly irritable Mr. Crow, Little Sunflower didn't feel she needed to do him any favors.

Upon hearing its explanation, and seeing how incredibly clever Xie Zeyuan was, who immediately guessed its subtext, he was nearly driven mad with anger.

Listen to what they're saying!

Is it embarrassed? Or does it just seem harmless and innocent?

Pah! This is clearly a white dumpling filled with black sesame paste!!

Xie Zeyuan gritted his teeth, but it seemed that was all he could do.

Little Sunflower had already shrunk back behind Qin Fu'an to hide after saying those words, while Qin Fu'an... was radiating a kind of dazzling emotion, and even the corners of his mouth that were wildly turned up looked so smug and annoying!
