Qianyuan's tastes don't change between his cub and adult forms. He can't bear to part with even a little bit of cake left, and he wants to eat it slowly, bit by bit.

Zhou Jinze felt a little guilty, so he told him, "If you want it, you can still have it."

Qianyuan's eyes started flashing little hearts.

Zhou Jinze even had the idea of ​​simply buying the cake shop outright.

However, he still worried about Qianyuan's health in this matter, just like an old father.

"If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt and your stomach will feel uncomfortable, so you can only buy another one."

Upon hearing this, Qianyuan moved closer and began to fawn over her like a cub:

"You are such a good human being, I like you so much."

Like a cat excitedly circling around a human's feet.

When has Zhou Jinze ever received such sincere and open affection?

He gently pushed away the octopus cat that was trying to get close to him, but with such gentle force that it was as gentle as patting Chiyuki's head.

Zhou Jinze's unassuming demeanor would have been obvious to Xie Mian, an old acquaintance, if he were here, that he was actually in a very good mood.

You had a great time, didn't you?

Zhou Jinze, the "Secretly Happy Brother," is no longer comfortable leaving Qianyuan alone at the base, so he has to take her with him wherever he goes.

Because this time they were going to a cake shop to buy a cake, Qianyuan was more enthusiastic than ever before.

He slung over the little yellow flower crossbody bag that Zhou Jinze had sewn for the cub, and wore a large fisherman's hat to cover his face and isolate him from human presence, making him look like a very tender little octopus.

The kind of person you just want to bite and bully.

Although Qian Yuan only said it verbally: Zhou Jinze took him back, he is Zhou Jinze's fish hostage.

But Zhou Jinze is now actively considering the idea of ​​tying Qian Yuan to his waistband or putting her in his pocket.

He wanted to truly keep Qianyuan by his side, to hide him away so that no one else could see or find him.

Make yourself the only one who can get close to Qianyuan.

This dark thought startled even Zhou Jinze himself.

He would never have had such thoughts when he was with cubs before.

Zhou Jinze has realized that his relationship with Qian Yuan has really changed, and it's not just something Qian Yuan is saying.

However, he didn't want Qianyuan to realize that he was being hypocritical. He even wanted to cover his heart, hoping that his heartbeat would not reveal his hidden secret to Qianyuan.

Although this silly octopus is slow-witted, it has a kind of beastly intuition in certain things.

He couldn't stand Qian Yuan's relentless pursuit.

Qian Yuan, who had been secretly pondered over by Zhou Jinze for quite some time: ?

He sneezed several times.

Zhou Jinze was so frightened that he thought he was sick again.

Fortunately, Qianyuan seems to be much healthier now, and her emotional value, which is getting closer and closer to the maximum, is no joke.

"Wow... such strong emotional value," the system suddenly appeared, its voice full of joy. "The people outside are all shocked by what you did. They all think you are a savior. I hope you won't be scared when you open the door."

Qianyuan covered her ears in confusion.

But Zhou Jinze didn't notice Qian Yuan's unusual behavior. He pushed open the door first and saw that the outside was once again filled with a large group of church members kneeling.

They were silent and orderly, appearing as if they would never dare to disturb the peace of the gods, but in reality, the fanatical expressions on their faces were surging like a tidal wave.

It was a silent wave, a devout faith, and a heartfelt dedication.

They are willing to give their lives.

Moreover, Zhou Jinze discovered that the number of church members seemed to have increased significantly; after just one afternoon, many more ordinary urban faces had appeared among them.

Bo Yuchuan finally appeared at this moment: "They all joined voluntarily."

"The miracles of this afternoon have resonated with church members all over the world, and they are working together to spread the Lord's great power to every inch of land. If you truly care for Qianyuan, do not let him reject the expectations of these people."

This is both an aid and a threat. With so many people's faith, if Qianyuan betrays their hopes, will she suffer a backlash?

Zhou Jinze felt very uncomfortable.

If he could, he certainly wouldn't let Qianyuan become a god who is devoid of emotion, freedom, and utterly lonely and aloof.

But now Qianyuan has awakened on her own initiative to protect them, as if there is an invisible force pushing everyone back onto the predetermined path.

Then Zhou Jinze could only do his best to protect Qianyuan.

So this time, when the church members urged Qianyuan to return to the church with them, Zhou Jinze said to Qianyuan:

“Let’s go. It’s bigger than the base, and there are lots of sparkling gemstone jewelry there. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

Qianyuan looked puzzled: "Small cake..."

The little cake has almost become the doctrine of the Deep Space Octopus Cult. The other followers have obviously heard Qian Yuan's message, and they all look at Zhou Jinze.

After Zhou Jinze explained that the small cake was indeed a small cake, the messenger waved his hand and said, "Lord, wait for us to go and preach to the cake shop owner, so that he may come to the church and listen to your gospel every day."

Zhou Jinze then translated for Qian Yuan: "It means making you little cakes every day."

Qianyuan clenched her fist, her excitement evident.

He happily followed Bo Yuchuan and the others, as if he had put Zhou Jinze second in the queue for the small cake.

Zhou Jinze pursed his lips, looking sullen.

Bo Yuchuan almost burst out laughing in front of Zhou Jinze.

He said, "See? People don't like you anymore, and you're unhappy."

Zhou Jinze's face looks absolutely awful right now.

If it weren't for so many people around, Bo Yuchuan's face would probably be swollen up a lot today.

After all, Zhou Jinze gave all his good temper to Qian Yuan.

The darker Zhou Jinze's face became, the more irritating Bo Yuchuan seemed. When Zhou Jinze actually grabbed Bo Yuchuan by the collar, Bo Yuchuan raised his hands in surrender.

"Isn't Captain Zhou conflicted? Since he doesn't have the courage to sever this bond, why not ask someone else for help? Ask the god not to be obsessed with humans, so that he won't get hurt in the future."

Zhou Jinze's expression changed again, his hand stopped, and his heart was clearly wavering.

But in the end, he only punched Bo Yuchuan in the ear: "My business with him is none of anyone else's business."

Bo Yuchuan adjusted his glasses; even though his clothes were disheveled, he didn't look embarrassed at all.

“I’m not doing this for you, I’m doing this for God.”

"When a god favors a human being, it is a sign that he has begun to fall."

With a loud bang, the punch landed squarely, leaving no time for anyone else to stop it.

"Holy crap!" The researchers' eyes widened, they cursed under their breath, and quickly stepped in to help break up the fight.

Several of them couldn't hold Zhou Jinze back, and could only look at Bo Yuchuan with pleading eyes: Ancestor, please stop talking!

If it's turned into mincemeat, we can't put it back together!
