Before dying, Qian Yuan was chosen by a system to攻略 (strategy/guide) others to gain emotional value. However, tormented by illness, he didn't want to get involved and just wanted to slack o...
The Azure Dragon moved.
He gently wagged his tail and said to the child in front of him:
"Cover Daddy's eyes, and Daddy will play a game with you."
The cub was startled by the Azure Dragon's sudden voice. He thought his father had discovered his soul, but when he turned around, he saw that the Azure Dragon was talking to the empty cave.
"Daddy! Daddy!" The little guy panicked and rushed over to pull on his father's dragon horns, but his father had no idea that his real child was still beside him. He was staring intently at the inner demon in his eyes, jumping up and playing with it, completely ignoring the body of the child he had been guarding.
The Azure Dragon suddenly plunged into the Dragon Pool, and the boy quickly followed. A moment later, he came out again, still swimming awkwardly in a doggy-paddle style.
The Azure Dragon soared through the clouds in the cave, looking so happy that he seemed not to be lonely at all.
In his dream, there was a cub that would always be with him.
"Daddy...Daddy!"
The little guy, soaking wet, struggled to climb out of the pool. In his eyes, his father was both happy and lonely.
How could such a tiny child possibly bear this outcome?
The child kept calling for his father and crying incessantly, even when his voice became hoarse, he just wanted his father to see him again.
Even the main system couldn't stand it anymore.
He transformed into a human and came to the cub's side. He picked up the child, who was now unattended, wiped him dry with a small blanket he had prepared, and put a bottle in his mouth to temporarily stop his crying.
The baby was indeed tired from crying. He took a few sips from the bottle, and the main system could hear him panting and sucking.
And strangely enough, even the tiny breathing sounds had a milky smell to them.
Such a cub is just a simple child, a clingy little thing that can't survive without its parents.
The system, holding its baby, felt like it had taken on a huge problem.
However, he could not leave the cubs in danger.
He had met with the grown-up Qianyuan many times, and was also an observer who watched the little guy grow up slowly.
But when he actually came into contact with the cubs, the only reaction in his mind was how fragile they were.
The system felt as if it were holding a soft, fluffy ball in its arms.
Warm and soft, this is the most fitting description of a soft and tender baby. Every part of a baby is so tender, even the bones are soft, and there's a puppy smell to it.
It's clearly just a fragment of a soul.
The main system, however, felt that what it had held was the true form of the cub.
He could almost smell the baby's scent on its breath.
The main system had to lighten its grip on the baby and try to recall the actions of picking up the child from each father.
As it turns out, the main system truly lives up to its name; it is knowledgeable and experienced, capable of absorbing and processing data from every single instance, let alone just a mere infant.
The main system quickly mastered the skills of taking care of the baby, skillfully taking on the role of a stay-at-home dad, gently patting the baby to burp him so that he wouldn't choke on the milk he had just drunk too quickly.
The child trusted him completely. After confirming that this man was the little figure that had been hiding in his head, the child hugged him, nuzzled against his neck, and whimpered softly.
"dad……"
The child's voice was hoarse from crying, but he kept chanting it over and over again, determined to awaken the Azure Dragon.
The main system was still in a state of stagnation. As data, no one had ever embraced him so intimately or rubbed against him so affectionately. They were just intelligent life forms without emotions, simply completing their tasks step by step every day. They had no family, no emotions, and no interaction with other colleagues.
But even with just that gentle nudge from the cub, the main system felt its core processor crackling and exploding, sparks flying all the way from its heart to its brow.
It's a strange feeling.
It's itchy, like there's a little fat bird crawling inside my body.
However, the main system was only stunned for a moment before being brought back to its senses by the cub's whimper.
Having observed the cubs for so long, he certainly knows what "cubs" means.
This is a way for children to act cute and seek attention from adults.
The main system raised its hand, stroked the cub's head, and then stroked along the cub's soft hair all the way to the back of its neck. It was a controlling gesture that could completely take control of the cub's life, but the cub did not resist. It narrowed its eyes trustingly.
So the main system gently stroked the cub's nape.
The feeling of security that supported him made the cub less sad.
"People, people..."
The little guy tugged at the main system's sleeve and pointed at the Azure Dragon:
"Daddy, save Daddy..."
The main system says, "I cannot actively interfere with the mission objective; that would be a violation of the rules."
"You're so smart, your little one will definitely find a way to rise from the ashes and save Daddy. Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, the little one started sitting in the main system's lap again, pinching his own cheeks with a grunt.
"It's not about the mold... it means rebirth."
The main system wished it could show the child those brainless short stories like "I was reborn, reborn the day before I was murdered..."
Then the child can gather enough willpower and be reborn from the ashes.
But this kind of abuse of children is going too far and will definitely lead to complaints from parents.
The main system had no choice but to abandon the idea. After thinking for a moment, it took the cub to Zhou Zeyuan.
At this time, Zhou Zeyuan was still treating Ruo Piaoxue's body.
Ruo Liufeng was standing by, her eyes already swollen from crying.
Ruo Piaoxue frowned: "Isn't your sister still alive?"
"But, but baby..."
Everyone fell silent.
Ruo Piaoxue glanced at Zhou Zeyuan's expression and gave Ruo Liufeng a sharp slap:
"If you don't hurry up and cultivate, only by becoming stronger can you take the baby back."
"Yes. We must take it back!" Ruo Liufeng crossed her legs, but was still whimpering. Finally, she received a flick on the forehead from Zhou Zeyuan and quieted down.
Ruo Piaoxue said to Zhou Zeyuan with great remorse, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, if it weren't for me..."
Zhou Zeyuan interrupted her: "This is because the cub has always regarded you as his family. The cub is simple-minded and longs for a home. No matter what our identities are, he will treat us as family."
Zhou Zeyuan gradually began to mutter to himself, as if reminding himself, or perhaps mocking himself: "Yes, we are a family."
A family that was abandoned.
But it doesn't matter, Zhou Zeyuan will definitely keep searching, relentlessly searching again and again, to find that little soul.
The entire Lian Tian Yan Sect was filled with a sense of desolation.
They weren't talking about Zhou Zeyuan, of course, but about Qinglong and Xiaofeijiu.
