Honestly, seeing Ah Qing crying so hard, Yan Jue's first reaction was relief. Finally, there was a kid who shared his normal aesthetic sense!
He even wanted to go out and set off some fireworks to celebrate.
Unfortunately, there is a ban in Beijing, and fireworks are not allowed without a permit. Yan Jue had to give up this way of expressing his feelings and began to think hard about how to comfort Ah Qing.
Did he agree with Ah Qing that the monster was truly ugly, utterly awful? He glanced at Zhuo Feng, who was floating beside Ah Qing, looking at him worriedly. Wouldn't that hurt Zhuo Feng's heart?
While Zhuofeng and Noel's aesthetics differed from the average person's, aesthetics were inherently subjective, and he couldn't afford to belittle the other two just to appease Ah Qing. After much deliberation, he decided to hold off and wait and see what the "culprit," Zhuofeng, had to say, then he'd just follow his lead.
Zhuo Feng felt a little guilty about Ah Qing being scared and crying.
He should have thought of this earlier. Ah Qing had lived alone in the mines since birth, so he certainly hadn't seen a wide variety of things. Most of what he encountered were commonplace, so naturally, he wouldn't have a strong distinction between beauty and ugliness. In other words, Ah Qing's aesthetic taste was relatively normal.
Seeing such an ugly monster suddenly, he was frightened for a moment and couldn't accept it. It was normal. He should have been more careful and let Ah Qing avoid it.
But at the same time, he also gained a better understanding of the teacher's aesthetic taste and the aesthetic taste of his two colleagues.
Look, Ah Qing was so scared that she started to cry, and Noel started to stiffen. Only the three of them looked at the monster in the middle of the venue without changing their expressions. The other two even had some curious inquiry in their eyes?
What a terrible world, what a terrible human aesthetic. In comparison, the teacher’s strange aesthetic doesn’t seem to be something difficult to accept.
I feel sorry for Ah Qing and made him suffer.
Zhuo Feng had no idea that Yan Jue and the other two remained calm simply because they were the ones receiving the gifts. Out of courtesy and out of their understanding of their preferences and "abnormal" aesthetics, they would never express their thoughts or likes about the gifts he gave them in front of him.
They are getting something for free, and the people who receive the gifts still have the nerve to look down on them?
Only they themselves know how hard it is for them to endure and how devastated they are inside.
But Zhuo Feng didn't know that. He sighed helplessly and tried to comfort her, "Ah Qing, don't be afraid. The monster is dead. I didn't mean to scare you. Don't cry. I'll apologize, okay?"
He carefully avoided mentioning the word "ugly" Ah Qing had just mentioned. He glanced up at the teacher's expression and saw him staring intently at Ah Qing, frowning, unsure how to comfort her. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
The teacher wouldn't blame Ah Qing for her careless, childish remark, would she? Having a unique aesthetic is one thing, but being publicly criticized is another.
He has to maintain the teacher's self-esteem.
Thinking of this, he secretly sent a message to Ah Qing: "Ah Qing, don't mention ugliness. I know you're scared, but we should respect the teacher's preferences and make him happy, right? If something that the teacher thinks is beautiful is called ugly by us, he'll be sad."
Ah Qing heard the words in his mind. He paused, sobbing miserably, looked at Zhuo Feng and then at Yan Jue, wiped the tears from his face, or rather, the tears that didn't exist on his face in the Stone Tribe, and sobbed, "I, I'm fine... QAQ"
"That's me. I've never seen a monster that big before. I was scared. It had snakes wriggling all over its body, and it had a lot of scary eyes. Yes, I was crying because I was scared. The monster wasn't ugly, I was just afraid of it."
Ah Qing finished her explanation haltingly, but she couldn't come up with any more words. She just sat in Yan Jue's palm and opened her arms to him: "Teacher, hug me."
Ah Qing's change of heart chilled Yan Jue to the point of tears. He even suspected that Ah Qing's description of the monster as ugly was an illusion. With mixed feelings, he nuzzled Ah Qing's cheek and, after a few words of comfort, asked cautiously, "Ah Qing, do you really not think it's ugly?"
Yan Jue's cautiousness made Ah Qing misunderstand him, thinking that he was worried that his strange aesthetic would not be accepted or disliked by him, so Ah Qing immediately nodded vigorously and assured him in a soothing tone: "Teacher, it, it's not ugly! Really!"
Sorry, he lied.
Yan Jue forced a smile: "Okay, it's not ugly."
He really sacrificed too much for his cub.
Nuoer was also frightened by the monster. After Ah Qing stopped crying, he quickly suggested, "Teacher, let's go out. I always feel that there is something strange about the monster. Zhuofeng, can you tell us about the origin of this monster?"
The gift Zhuo Feng gave was too great, so he lost.
After leaving, they found an empty room and sat down to listen to Zhuo Feng's explanation. Pan Wencheng and Zhou Taotao were among them. They didn't rashly ask anyone to touch the monster. It was an unknown thing, and the potential dangers were unknown. Naturally, they wanted to listen to Zhuo Feng's explanation before taking action.
Being watched by so many eyes again, Zhuo Feng was much calmer than before and no longer felt awkward. He spoke frankly, "The demon beast's name is Snake Eye..."
"Snake spirit?" Zhou Taotao couldn't help but exclaim, "Apart from the snake on its body, what else about it resembles a snake spirit?"
Pan Wencheng glared at him, and Zhou Taotao shrank his head in disappointment.
Zhuo Feng paused. "Snake eyes, snake eyes. At first, I misunderstood them just like you did. I don't know why they're called that, or where they live. Everything I know about them is what I heard from the Snow Fox Tribe."
"They say that the snake's eye is difficult to catch. Many parts of its body are used as materials for refining weapons, such as its scales, the snake-like mane that grows along its entire spine, its eyes, and its bones."
"It's pitch black on the outside, but the bones inside are as white as snow, and they're incredibly hard. Even weapons of lower rank can't easily cut through it." Having said this, Zhuo Feng looked at Yan Jue and said, "I know the situation here, Teacher, so I wanted to give you a handy weapon."
The thermal weapons in the teacher's world are indeed magical, but with the revival of spiritual energy, this place will sooner or later become a scene where supernatural humans are running around. Faced with various magical and unpredictable supernatural means, thermal weapons are sometimes unable to react in time.
He then recalled his experiences in the human world and decided that his teacher should be equipped with a spiritual weapon. He saw that all human cultivators did the same, and of course, many demon cultivators did the same.
The teacher's world was just in its infancy, and the necessary materials for the cultivation world had not yet grown here. He had just heard of the snake-eyed beast and couldn't wait to give one to the teacher.
"Generally speaking, snake eye bones need to be refined and fused with other materials to create a spiritual weapon, but..." Zhuo Feng was a little embarrassed: "I don't have many connections in Tianchen Continent, so I can't find a weapon refiner to refine it. When I find a suitable weapon refiner in the future, I will give you a real weapon."
"But it doesn't matter if there's no weapon refiner to refine it. It's a good idea to just polish it and use it as an ordinary weapon. Ordinary objects in this world can't withstand spiritual energy, but the snake eye bone is different. Teacher, you can use it with spiritual energy."
Yan Jue was so moved he couldn't speak. He could only thank him repeatedly, then picked up Zhuo Feng and rubbed his cheek against his. Due to his personality, he had very few ways to express his emotions. So far, rubbing his cheek was the only way he could use repeatedly.
"Thank you, Zhuofeng."
"You're welcome." Zhuo Feng modestly waved the nine tails behind him like a fan and rubbed Yan Jue's fingers in return: "As long as the teacher likes it."
No one would not like such a thoughtful gift.
While Yan Jue was busy expressing his gratitude, Noel, who was floating beside Ah Qing, took everything in. His eyes turned and he showed an expression of sudden realization, and then he smiled mysteriously.
The teacher really needs weapons.
Ah Qing looked at Noel strangely, and when he patted his head to signal him not to ask any more questions, a question mark slowly appeared in his mouth.
Pan Wencheng asked if there was any toxin on the surface of the Burning Wind Snake-Eye Beast. After getting the answer "I don't know", he could only ask Yan Jue to ask 91 for help, or to see if there was a description in the mall so that they could transport the Snake-Eye Beast away and deal with it.
Yan Jue first looked at the description of the gifts that came with the game.
[The gift has been delivered.
Snake Eye: A specialty from the Tianchen Continent, a gift from the nine-tailed fox demon Zhuofeng.
Its name isn't particularly intriguing. Aren't its snake and eyes its two most striking features? Compared to its name, its inherent value is what makes it so sought after and loved. As for its appearance... let's discuss its value.
The Snake Eye, dwelling in the Endless Abyss, is perhaps the most harmless of the monsters there. At the very least, it possesses no venom and relies solely on its appearance to scare off its prey. Compared to some others, it truly deserves the nickname "gentle." However, beware of its snake-like bristles; a bite from them could leave you with three days of excruciating pain.
A kind note from Zhuo Feng: [None.]
The remark was actually "none". Was it because Zhuo Feng was right next to him and had explained it to him?
Yan Jue ignored this unnecessary question and showed the content to Pan Wencheng and Zhou Taotao. After confirming that there was nothing else for him to do, he planned to leave. Before leaving, he mentioned that he wanted to take the kids to the night market.
Taking with him several men in plain clothes, an old acquaintance who served as a bodyguard, Tong Feiyuan, Yan Jue and the three invisible cubs went to a bustling square in a nearby district.
In the cooler summer evenings, the open-air area was much more crowded than during the day. At a glance, it was filled with heads, some with glowing toys in their hands and heads. Clearly, those cute, light-up toys caught the three cubs' attention more than the colorful billboards.
"I'll pick you up from kindergarten when we get back." Yan Jue picked up his phone and put it beside him, pretending to send a message and said to the three cubs.
Zhuo Feng didn't really want toys. He was just amazed at the prosperity of this world at night and the strange ideas of humans when making toys.
"Wow, Zhuofeng!" Ah Qing suddenly called out Zhuofeng's name excitedly.
Zhuo Feng came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ah Qing ignored him, pointed forward and said, "I mean, Zhuo Feng! Look, does that look like Zhuo Feng?"
Noel, who had followed Ah Qing's train of thought, was the first to see what Ah Qing was pointing at and was also surprised: "Wow, it really looks like that."
What? Zhuo Feng looked at the crowd in front of him. Despite his strong physique as a cultivator, he couldn't find anyone who looked like him as the other two cubs mentioned.
Yan Jue touched his nose awkwardly and whispered, "Zhao Feng, maybe you could go down and take a look..."
Zhuo Feng lowered his gaze as instructed, and without looking far away he saw a group of people surrounding a creature with a glowing ring, screaming and taking pictures.
He looked carefully, fell silent, and then decisively hit the two cubs beside him with his tail.
Do you think he doesn’t recognize it? It’s a big white dog!
Yan Jue remembered an old joke and explained with a sullen laugh, "That's a Samoyed, a breed of dog, not a fox. But both are classified as Canidae here."
There is also a nickname called "One of the Three Idiots on the Sled", which goes without saying.
Noel and Aqing nodded in confusion, while Zhuofeng remained silent.
In order to ease the embarrassing situation, Yan Jue took them away from the beloved Samoyed and went to the musical fountain in the center of the square.
Noel was surfing excitedly along the water column, while the other three were having a water fight at the big fountain in the center. After playing for a while, the three cubs all decided to go to the street not far away where the fragrance was wafting from.
There is a real food court next to it.
As they walked over, Yan Jue said to Tong Feiyuan, who was silently following him like a shadow, "It's the food street again. Wasn't it around the same place we met Zhang Zizhen last time?"
Tong Feiyuan also remembered the experience of catching Zhang Zizhen and said with a smile: "Again? Do you want to go through it again?"
"No." Yan Jue declined politely, "I just want to go out and have some fun. I don't want to encounter anything weird."
He had no idea that a thick flag was stuck in his back.
The author has something to say:
Aesthetic misunderstandings will be resolved soon.
