Chapter 50: Sleeping for Hundreds of Years

As a cub, Mianli, like all cubs, loved playing hide-and-seek.

But as a cub of God, his way of playing is of course different from that of ordinary human cubs.

Whether it is the young god, his father god, or any other gods in charge of various departments - they do not locate by eyes or breath, but by sensing the source of power.

Mian Li's Water Bracelet is the core of his power and the part that is most easily sensed.

Gods can easily hide their aura or restrain their divine power, but they cannot actively seal the "core".

Higher-level gods can easily find their targets through the "core".

In other words, no matter where Mian Li hides, whether in the sky or on the ground, Jiang Xiao only needs to sense him lightly to make all his efforts to hide go to waste.

The only one who can resolve this problem is Xinz.

Its "jelly liquid" is the only fine material in the world, which can contain the divine core, hide all breath, erase all traces, and eliminate it completely.

After being covered with this layer of membrane, even Jiang Xiao, the God of Gods, has no way to check it.

It is conceivable that many evildoers who have enemies, want to hire someone to kill them, or are afraid of being hunted down need this layer of isolation.

Many people came here because of his reputation, but were either rejected by Xinz from the beginning, or they provoked him recklessly and ended up losing their lives.

Perhaps because Sinz looks soft and fat and has no deterrent effect, many people relax their vigilance against it and lower their risk assessment.

Carelessness is always the biggest source of failure

They should have understood long ago that the title of "ancient ferocious beast" of Nan was not something that could be given to just any little monster.

One of the prerequisites for being called an ancient ferocious beast by Mian Li is that it must be "ancient" enough.

No one knows how long Xinzi has lived, not even Xinzi himself.

In short, when Mian Li's father god, Jiang Xiao, was not yet the god of gods who fascinated everyone like he is now, but Xinzi was already there when he was in his "green youth" who just took charge of the temple.

It is not easy to become the abbot of the temple.

How to break out of the siege and how to convince all the people are things that the young god Mianli, who was born with endless love and care, does not know.

Back then, although it cannot be said that Xinz was the biggest help, its support for Jiang Xiao along the way was absolutely indispensable.

That’s why there is such an intimate name as “Axiao”.

However, although Xinzi has a great reputation as an ancient ferocious beast, he is actually a rather lazy guy.

He is too lazy and often sleeps for hundreds of years. He doesn't care about eating or drinking, and he doesn't even bother to care about what is happening in the world.

No one knows whether it has the power to surpass the god of gods.

However, it is obvious to all that it has maintained a good relationship with God for a long time.

This lazy guy is unwilling to even get up, let alone be in charge of all affairs in heaven and earth. How can he possibly compete with Jiang Xiao for a position?

Being a God is so tiring.

The little Lord God has the most experience.

After Jiang Xiao's position was consolidated, he wanted to give Xinzi a high position above everyone else, but Xinzi waved his hand, too lazy to get involved in those miscellaneous matters. He asked Jiang Xiao to give him an absolutely quiet and peaceful place to sleep well, which was enough.

That is the cave under the stream where Mianli found it.

Even if it was just sleeping there, cattle, horses, ghosts and gods within hundreds of miles would not dare to act rashly.

It is definitely a blessing for Jiang Xiao to have such a trustworthy partner to intimidate others.

As a result, their alliance grew stronger over time.

*

The last time Xinzi came out of the "cave" was the day Mianli was born.

When I think back on it, it’s already a little hazy.

The birth of the offspring of the God of Gods is a joyous event that only occurs once in a thousand years.

Forces from all directions came to congratulate, each with their own ulterior motives.

God knows, but God doesn't care.

When Xinzi showed up with his thunderous ghost, he was surprised to find that the temple, which was usually deserted, was actually packed with people.

The god was sitting on the throne holding a pink baby, wearing a pure white robe, with long light golden hair like a waterfall and an exquisite profile.

He remained as distant and indifferent as usual, and the ice in his eyes did not melt at all even though he had his young son in his arms.

God turned a blind eye to the noise below and didn't care at all that they were there to please him.

He didn't raise his eyes until Xinzi came in.

The newly appointed guards did not recognize this old friend of God. Seeing that it looked too strange and out of place in the sacred surroundings, they raised their weapons to stop it.

Xinzi didn't care at all and waved: "Hi, Axiao."

□□ is taboo, how can a big jelly shout that?

Such disrespect for God caused an uproar in the hall.

The guards and messengers were angry and wanted to kick out this rude and uninvited guest.

Xinzi treated them like ants and dealt with them effortlessly.

Thus, a vicious cycle.

Seeing that the temple was about to fall into chaos, the god finally interrupted: "Xinzi."

The ancient ferocious beast that was killing everyone a second ago immediately stopped.

Jiang Xiao said softly: "Okay, stop making trouble."

God seemed to be even more gentle towards this chubby jelly than towards his young son.

Everyone was even more horrified.

Xinzi moved his massive body and happily came to His side: "Let me take a look at this little thing. Ah Xiao, have you tried it? Is it delicious?"

Jiang Xiao looked down at the baby with an indifferent look.

Without meeting His gaze, Xinzi pulled his slippery hands out of the jelly and touched the baby's delicate cheek.

The baby reflexively looked for something sweet and fragrant and wanted to suck its fingers, which scared Xinz so much that he quickly pulled his hand back.

"Ah Xiao, have you given Him a name?"

"not yet."

"Then let's just call Him Little One for now."

"what ever."

…

This was the first time Mianli and Xinzi met.

The young god knew from a young age that there was a giant jelly called Sinz in the distance, someone he could trust.

When he grew up, he had a few chance encounters and used the terrifying ancient beasts as slides and trampolines.

Because of Jiang Xiao, Xinzi also loves Mianli very much.

He is the youngest son of God and the embodiment of all pampering.

When threatened by the Father God to leave the human world, the first person that Mian Li thought of asking for help was not the messenger Oriel, nor the Father God's other subordinates, but Xinzi, who did not belong to any faction.

That’s how today’s adventure came about.

*

The goal was achieved, the misunderstandings were resolved, and the ending was a happy one.

Just when Mianli was about to lead the adventure team back, Xinzi suddenly became interested in something again.

The big jelly laughed loudly: "Hey, I like this. Little thing, leave it to me to play with, as a reward for my help to you."

Mianli turned around in confusion and saw Xinzi's black eyes staring at Zhizhi. He had already formed a jelly hand and wanted to pull it in front of him for a closer look.

When Ragdoll cats don't speak, they are truly beautiful, dignified and elegant. Their palm-sized faces are so sweet, and their fur is so fluffy and shiny.

Zhizhi had never been coveted by such a huge monster before. She was so scared that she trembled and backed away repeatedly: "No, no, meow! Lili, save me, meow!"

Taotao leaped in front of Zhizhi, her fur standing on end. She bared her teeth at Xinzi, who was many times bigger than her: "Don't even think about getting close to it!"

I am always despised on weekdays, but now I am protected.

It turns out that their previous confrontation was just an illusion, and the brotherly love between them was the real thing. Zhizhi was so moved that she burst into tears: "Little brother, I didn't expect you to be so nice to me!"

“…Stop talking nonsense!”

Xinzi curled his lips and lay back lazily.

"It's boring."

On the one hand, it is too lazy to fight with people (or non-people);

On the other hand, when that pretty elf-like little cat opened its mouth... uh, its rough voice was really a bit of a letdown.

The mission is completed, the little guys should finally leave.

It closed its eyes, too lazy to say goodbye.

But someone pulled a tiny part of my body.

Xinzi opened his eyes again impatiently and took a look. It was the child who had bitten him just now.

Strictly speaking, Tao Yingjia was not "pulling" it, but rather poking it.

When the beast's eyes turned to him, Tao Yingjia apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now. I shouldn't have eaten you. Please forgive me."

The boy's face was red, and I don't know if it was because of the pink jelly.

"...Kid, do you know that you are the first one who dares to eat me in all my years of life." Xinzi snorted, and the mountains shook.

Tao Yingjia rubbed her cheeks, unable to tell whether this was a compliment or not.

Xinzi turned his head slightly and said, "Little thing."

This time it is called Mianli.

"Who is this kid to you?"

After hearing this, Tao Yingjia became even more nervous than when he was facing the "furious" beast alone before.

He had never heard the doll describe their relationship before.

Is it a friend? Is it a partner?

It seems... it's not just like that.

His love for Mian Li is completely different from his previous love for other children.

How sad it would be if he really liked the other person but the other person only liked him half-heartedly.

Unexpectedly, Mianli came over and took his hand, smiling with her eyes curved: "It's my Jiajia~"

There is no positioning, no description, only an ownership.

But it is unique.

Jia Jia was very satisfied. When he wanted to say "You are my Li Li too," Xin Zi interrupted him: "So, you have a good relationship with the little thing?"

Jia Jia nodded. That should be the case, right?

Hinz asked, "Does His Father know?"

Tao Yingjia was a little confused.

Mianli's father...is he referring to Mr. Zhuo? Or Mr. Lu?

Xinzi raised an eyebrow: "You haven't met Ah Xiao yet."

Mianli stopped talking.

Hinds looked at Him, and He looked at Hinds.

In a realm that ordinary humans and cats cannot penetrate, these alien life forms with magical powers are using their mind-reading abilities to pull and tug.

Eventually, Hinds began to dim the overhead lights.

This is a sign to drive away customers.

A huge, pink shadow flowed to their feet like water.

"Little thing, you should go back."

Xinzi said in a deep voice.

"From now on, don't come to me casually. Especially when there are outsiders around."

Mianli argued: "Jia Jia is not an outsider!"

Zhizhi also got involved: "That's right, meow! My little brother and I are not human either, meow!"

Xinzi: “…”

It wanted to roll its eyes, but unfortunately its eyeballs were completely black.

"Your father..."

Xinzi's dark eyes looked at Him, like a whirlpool filled with emotions.

It hesitated to speak, and finally, it simply said: "When you go back and see Ah Xiao, remember to say hello to him for me."

Mianli didn't refute this time and nodded obediently.

But what Hinds didn't know was that the Father would never see Him again.

He does not want future kingship, Godhead, dominion over the world, or supremacy.

He wants lots and lots of love.

The last time, he was accidentally "kidnapped" into the real world by Cancan.

This time, he made up his mind to run away from home after careful consideration!

*

When they escaped, everyone except Mianli and the two cats were very worried: if they ran away without a trace for a whole day and a night, the adults would be very worried when they returned.

Unexpectedly, after they returned home, their guardians/keepers acted as if nothing had happened, and greeted them with a smile and asked them to eat - yes, whether it is for human cubs or kittens, the most common way for adults to express their love is to feed them - as if nothing had happened.

Whether it's Jiajia or Zhizhi Taotao, it's incredible:

Why don't they seem worried at all?

Why wasn't he accused of running around?

Could it be that his thrilling escape went completely undetected?

The members of the adventure team returned to their own nests with their own confusions, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Sometimes I thought of the jungle and the stream, sometimes of the sky full of sparks, sometimes of Moses ritually clearing a passage, and sometimes of a five-meter-high pink jelly.

The bizarre scene is even more mysterious than the cartoons, leaving a strong mark in the ordinary lives of the kids.

As for the instigator of all this, he had already fallen into a sweet sleep on his bed due to exhaustion after using some tricks to conceal everything from the world.

Zhuo Can tucked the quilt in for the little fairy, kissed his forehead, and tiptoed out of the room.

Lu Song leaned against the door: "Falling asleep?"

"Um."

"Sleeping in the children's room by yourself, no noise?"

Ever since He brought the Mian Li into the world, He has been sleeping in Zhuo Chan's bed.

After visiting Tao Yingjia's house several times recently, Mianli suddenly became interested in her friend's children's room.

After coming back, she clung to Zhuo Can and acted coquettishly: I want my own room.

I want a bed for the moon boat.

A ceiling with stars.

I need a small cabinet to store toys.

This this, and that that.

Zhuo Can was originally a single young man renting a house, but there was a shortage of housing types and not many options to choose from. A two-bedroom apartment was already the limit.

Not to mention how much it costs to buy these things, there is only one study room left in his house besides the master bedroom, which also serves as a storage room and other functions, and is filled to the brim.

Where can I get a children's room for him?

Fortunately, he now has a boyfriend who is as good as a cheat.

After Lu Song knew about this, he completed the planning on the second day, customized the furniture on the third day, cleaned up the empty room on the fourth day, installed it on the fifth day, and the tenant moved in with his luggage on the sixth day.

The efficiency is astonishingly high.

As expected of the boss of a big company, the boss makes the decision one second and the subordinates have to submit a report the next.

If an ordinary family were to decorate a room for their child, they would have to wait at least half a year to air it out before they could feel at ease.

At this time, the advantages of Mianli as a little god are highlighted: he is not afraid of paint or formaldehyde at all, and he is immune to all poisons.

Regardless, the construction cost a lot, but Zhuo Can and Lu Song were both trying their best to give their best.

This is what it means to give stars when you want stars and the moon when you want the moon.

"At first, I thought He would be scared and would come back to my room in the middle of the night, but it turns out Lili actually likes having her own little room." Zhuo Can smiled bitterly. "Unexpectedly, I was the one who couldn't get used to it - yes, it was me who tossed and turned that night and sneaked to the next room."

Lu Song comforted him: "In fact, many guardians have more severe separation anxiety than their children. When Lili officially goes to kindergarten, you will find that there are more parents crying at the door than children."

Zhuo Can was shocked: "There is such a situation..."

"Yes, a child's growth is a test for both the child and the parents." Mr. Lu said this seriously, then changed his tone. "Perhaps you just need someone to sleep with you?" He winked at him. "Manager Zhuo, what do you think of me? Am I qualified for this job?"

Zhuo Can didn't react at first, but when he understood the meaning, he burst out laughing.

Remembering that Mianli was still sleeping inside, he quickly covered his mouth.

Lu Song originally intended to say some flirtatious words that would make people blush and their hearts beat faster, but this guy ended up being so disrespectful that he laughed...

Alas, a straight man who doesn't understand romance.

There's really nothing we can do about him.

The straight man had laughed enough and felt a little sleepy.

It's quite strange. I go to bed early and get up early, but I still feel like I didn't get enough sleep today.

My brain always feels groggy, as if I'm hypnotized.

The little god had done this to him before, but the little guy was sleeping soundly in there tonight, so it was definitely impossible.

"I'll take you downstairs..." Zhuo Can yawned before he could finish his words (_ _)( - . - )(~O~)...( - . - ), "I'll take you downstairs. Go home early, be careful on the road, and see you at the company tomorrow."

Lu Song thought to himself, you've already said all my lines, what else can I say?

He turned sideways and held the defenseless Zhuo Can in his arms. His voice lowered, with a hint of temptation: "Don't you want me to stay?"

Zhuo Can blinked blankly and innocently: "Ah, but my house doesn't have a guest room now. Do you want to sleep on the floor? Or I can sleep on the floor too."

Lu Song: “…”

He is usually so attentive and considerate to children, and takes everything into consideration, but why is he like a blockhead when it comes to me?

Forget it, turning a straight man gay is bound to be a bumpy road, their relationship is not yet mature enough.

Lu Song smiled helplessly: "Nothing, I'm going back first. Don't see me off, go to sleep."

Zhuo Can yawned so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.

Lu Song used the same trick he used on Xiao Mianli and gently touched his hair: "Look how sleepy you are."

Zhuo Can half-closed his eyes and nudged his palm like a puppy: "Are you so sleepy..."

Unconscious coquettishness is the most deadly, and Lu Song's heart trembled.

He wanted to do something else, preferably something powerful and fatal.

But they forget that yawning is contagious.

Before speaking, Lu Song also made a (_ _)( - . - )(~O~)……( - . - ).
