20.
Su Yun walked in the opposite direction of the slave girl. The murals around him gradually changed from water scenes to depictions of the sky, with stars, the moon, the sun, and quite lovely clouds.
The curtain not far away suddenly moved.
Su Yun stopped with interest and watched a chubby child emerge from the tent.
This child also has honey-colored skin, but he is obviously different from the female slaves. He is covered in gold and silver. Maybe he is a child of the royal family?
This chubby child made Su Yun’s mind full of the bighead carp not long ago.
I'm not hungry, but I want to have some snacks...
Su Yun lowered his head and smiled, then walked past the child who was only as tall as his thigh and continued walking forward.
Just then, his robe was grabbed by someone.
A childish voice sounded from behind: "Who are you?"

Su Yun's concealment is layered.
Over the past few days, Su Yun has become very experienced in hiding himself.
The deepest level is of course that he can even hide it from Alice and others. In this case, no one in the world can find his whereabouts, and Su Yun can go wherever he wants and is completely free.
The most superficial level is to block human prying eyes. At this level, some sensitive animals can see Su Yun, and Su Yun likes this state because it can reduce trouble and allow him to pet cats and dogs.
But I didn’t expect that a child could see through this situation.
Could it be that... it's because children's hearts are purer? Or is this child born extraordinary?
Su Yun learned his lesson and changed his appearance - he mixed many shadows from another world into himself and injected a lot of humanity into his originally divine appearance, so that he would not look scary.
Then Su Yun took off his hood and turned to look at the boy: "Kid, are you asking me?"
The child looked at him and his glasses widened slightly. "Who are you? I want to be friends with you. You are so beautiful."
Three consecutive pick-ups... This kid has a future.
Su Yun replied perfunctorily: "A traveler?"
"You are not a traveler!" The boy still stared at him tightly, "Travelers are not allowed in, and you are so white."
Su Yun looked up at the mural: "Since you think so... then I am not a traveler."
The boy jumped and seemed to be trying to pull his hand, but Su Yun didn't like being touched, so he slightly dodged.
"Will you play with me?" the boy said.
Her hands grasped his robe, "I like you!"
The children's speeches are all the same... Su Yun thought boredly. He looked at the aisle and began to think about where to go next.
"Those slaves are wrong! The rebel army will reach the capital sooner or later! We must kill them immediately!" The boy had already started talking to himself. It turned out that he was also eavesdropping and he hid well and was not discovered.
Su Yun looked at the sky outside the window. He could spend the whole night admiring the beautiful murals, but he had no interest in playing with a child. He said softly, "Child, I'm leaving. See you again if we're lucky."
"...Those two slave girls deserve to die! They eavesdropped on their mother's words, they - what did you say?" The boy was talking nonstop, and when he heard Su Yun say that, his eyes widened in shock, "You want to leave? No! I order you not to leave."
"Pretty domineering?" Su Yun couldn't help laughing, "But that won't work. No one can order me around."
The boy was shocked and angry, and his expression was a little aggrieved. He rushed over fiercely and hugged Su Yun's legs: "I won't let you leave! You stay and be my princess!"
Su Yun: ...
No, I don't like being a princess.
No one could stop Su Yun. He smiled gently, and the part of the child he was holding immediately disappeared in his hands. The boy fell at Su Yun's feet. He looked up in horror.
Su Yun had already walked forward and disappeared from the boy's sight in the blink of an eye.

Su Yun returned to the house where he was temporarily staying.
Alice and Theresa were already waiting for him at home.
"Father God! I'm back!" Alice was sitting upright at the table. The moment she saw Su Yun coming home, she rushed over with joy. "I collected information about the southern continent today. Please write it down!"
Su Yun had no doubt that if Alice had a tail, he could probably shake it into a fan at this moment.
Su Yun patted his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Alice. I will read it carefully."
Alice hugged his arms and rubbed them: "Yeah, yeah!"
"How is Theresa today?" Su Yun sat down at the table and looked at the young man holding the holy book.
The young man bowed his head gently: "Father God, all believers love you."
The holy nun Theresa in the game has completely abandoned herself, and she always has only one answer to the player, which is "as you wish."
No matter what the event was, Teresa's first action plan was not to cause any trouble to the gods - she would always say "I'm not hurt", "I'm fine",
"It's okay", "Please don't worry about me"...
Su Yun sighed inwardly.
He didn't show any emotion, but Alice and Theresa seemed to sense it.
Theresa asked first: "Father God, have you encountered anything that is difficult for you?"
The young man's hand on the holy book did not change, but the veins on his hand on his knees under the table had already bulged, and light blue scales gradually multiplied on the back of his hand.
As for Alice—the boy looked worried, but he also grasped the hilt of the knife through his robe.
If Su Yun were to spit out a name now, the result would be predictable.
But fortunately, that was not what Su Yun wanted to talk about, and he didn't notice anything.
Su Yun said: "I want this country to prosper. I can't let the war continue."
"Let this country have peace immediately, and then I will make their land develop rapidly, and then I will sow the seeds of fire to awaken your brother, Jasmine."

The mechanism of this dream is the same as that of a game, and Su Yun feels like the most stingy player. He counts every gold coin in his hand carefully and looks longingly at his glittering little goal.
Of course, his property is human life, and his current small goal is the third child, the third plague, Jasmine.
In this game-like virtual world, all loneliness and troubles disappeared. He wanted to see Jasmine and the other plagues.
How to describe this mentality... This is probably an old father who hopes money can make money and is eager to save his child's life... This is an idea that sounds quite heartwarming.
War brings death, and only peace and prosperity can allow human development.
This is what Su Yun thinks now.
So he issued an order for peace, and for Alice and Theresa, the will of the Father was the highest instruction, and they would do their best to fulfill it.
However, Theresa and Alice had completely different understandings of Su Yun's instructions, which led to an outcome that Su Yun never expected.
The path that Theresa chose was to make humans productive.
This country originally combined royal power and divine power, but in troubled times, the prestige of royal power gradually declined, while the power of religion rose steadily. Theresa took root in religious institutions, teaching believers how to provide medical assistance, how to breed and raise seedlings, how to judge weather disasters, and collecting and promoting advanced agricultural tools and equipment...
Theresa's
Everything she did was to save the world, and all of this made her status in the religious organization rise steadily. If it weren't for the riots outside and the harsh rule inside, Theresa's status would have made several great leaps forward.
Alice and Theresa made completely different choices.
Alice is a simple-minded, naive and a little cunning girl. Father God does not want human war but wants human reproduction, so he will find a way to stop the war.
How to stop it? Kill the people who lead the war.
So Ellydi entered the palace and directly sowed the plague on the king.
Su Yun: ...
Su Yun originally didn't know about this until he saw a big show in the palace.

The afternoon in the palace was quiet, and Su Yun walked in the corridors covered with murals.
The weather is just right today. With the arrival of summer, the fragrance of lotus gradually fills this palace surrounded by pools.
Su Yun remembered the slave girl holding a lotus that he saw not long ago.
It was the time when lotus flowers were in full bloom - there seemed to be a large lotus pond next to the palace.
Su Yun changed his route and headed towards the lotus pond. However, when he stepped into the scorching sun, the tranquility was completely replaced by noisy sounds.
It seemed like a panicked and hasty escape.
The woman in the center, wearing a long gauze dress, had disheveled hair. Slaves surrounded her, coming and going with all kinds of boxes and artworks in their hands. All of them looked terrified, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing them from behind.
It is indeed a beast.
The country's aged king was infected with the deadly plague in his bed, along with his two young and beautiful bed slaves.
"Hurry up!" The woman in gorgeous clothes scolded the slave beside her, "Where is the prince? Where is the little princess?"
Immediately, an old woman in a white linen robe came forward holding a sleeping girl: "Princess, the little princess is asleep, she--"
"Stop! Don't come near me!" The woman stopped her immediately. The princess frowned and said, "Where is the doctor? Bring the little princess to the temple quickly. Go! Heal her!"
The old woman's expression changed immediately: "Princess! The little princess is just unwell and in a coma. Please don't abandon her, she is healthy!"
"Shut up!" The princess was already impatient. She covered her mouth and nose with her gauze dress and said, "Take him away!"
"Princess!" the old woman begged, "the little princess has no fever, she has not got the deadly plague!"
The word "death plague" seemed like a taboo language that people could only recite silently but not read aloud. The old woman's slip of the tongue in a hurry revealed the illusion of self-deception, and the courtyard fell into a brief ban at this moment.
But a few seconds later, a wave of fear swept over everything.
"Shut! Up!" The princess' voice was unusually sharp. "You, go and take the little princess away. Someone, execute this old slave who disturbed the order!"
The mistress's order was immediately executed. A slave girl snatched the little princess from the old woman's arms and ran into the palace, while the old woman was gagged and dragged away by a guard.
Just then, a young man in elegant clothes came from the other side of the courtyard. He looked terrified: "Mother!"
The princess hugged him and said, "Nehet! Where have you been? Leave with me immediately!"
The boy hesitated: "But my brother is still with father."
"He's not your brother!" The princess' voice became increasingly harsh. "Who took you to His Majesty's bedroom?! Execute him!"
There was also a group of servants following behind the young man. Seeing that it was another chaotic farce, Su Yun frowned impatiently and turned away.
He no longer had any interest in looking at the lotus pond; the noise of these fears would completely disrupt the tranquil beauty.
But the king got the plague...it must be Alice's doing.
This kid really doesn't consider the consequences and does whatever he wants.
