Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Aquaman Dad 7
The eldest son, Cheng Su, considered it for a moment, then refused to feed him and urged Zhuo Zhuo, "Go wash your hands."
Zhuozhuo rolled his eyes and looked at Cheng Su, saying again, "Good son, feed me."
Cheng Su was determined to seize this opportunity to re-establish his position with Zhuozhuo, and refused to give in. "Zhuozhuo, go wash your hands."
"snort."
Zhuozhuo no longer cared about Cheng Su. He stretched out his little hand, grabbed the pancake, and stuffed it into his mouth without caring whether it was hot or not.
The pancake was indeed scalding hot. Zhuozhuo hissed and leaped to her feet, but she couldn't bear to spit it out. A mouthful of pancake tossed back and forth in her mouth like a stir-fry. Finally, when she was almost ready to swallow it, a hand darted over, clamped her face, and swiftly scooped the pancake out and threw it away.
Zhuozhuo swallowed her breath in shock before she finally understood what had happened. Her eyes, red and quickly filled with tears, pointed at Cheng Su and shouted, "You're unfilial! You lied to me! Turn yourself into a seahorse and give birth to a child!"
After he finished speaking, Zhuozhuo cried out "Ah!"
Cheng Su's face changed, not only because Zhuo Zhuo was crying, but also because he clearly felt that the contract had been activated - he had deliberately teased Zhuo Zhuo last night by saying that he was a filial son, but today she accused him of being unfilial. She and the contract both thought that he had lied to her and that he was going to turn into a seahorse.
Cheng Su's face was filled with pain. He knelt on one knee and hugged Zhuo Zhuo in his arms. He said in a heavy voice, "Don't cry, dear mom. I'm not stopping you from eating. I just thought you were burned, so I was rushing to dig it out. I'll feed you now, okay?"
He held the plate under her burning nose, allowing the aroma to arouse her senses to the maximum, and said in a coaxing tone, "Which one do you want to eat?"
Zhuozhuo raised her head and cried, not even looking at Jianbing.
Caroline and the Knights gathered around, chattering about Zhuozhuo and offering all sorts of unusual treats to her. Cheng Su struggled to hold onto his spot and avoid being squeezed out. He picked out a golden, fragrant, and perfectly warm pancake, rolled it up, and shoved it into Zhuozhuo's mouth, one arm after another.
The crying stopped.
Zhuozhuo was stunned. He stared blankly at Cheng Su who looked nervous, grabbed the pancake and threw it out with force.
The pancake was blocked by several arms, changing direction countless times, and somehow it ended up on Cheng Su's face. Cheng Su closed his eyes and was about to let the pancake fall, but suddenly an idea flashed. He grabbed the pancake and took a big bite. Before Zhuo Zhuo could burst into tears again, he shouted, "It smells so good! How can this pancake be so delicious!"
He ate voraciously, finishing what was in his hand in just a few bites, and even reached for the food on the plate, leaving everyone around him stunned, including Zhuozhuo, who was about to cry.
The little guy didn't have time to cry for the time being. He rushed over and hugged the plate to prevent Cheng Su from eating anymore.
Cheng Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, holding Zhuo Zhuo's small shoulders and reasoning with her, "Good mother, tears can't solve the problem. You can't cry every time you are unhappy. What do you want to do, what do you have any opinions about me, you have to tell me, then I will listen to you."
Zhuozhuo glared at Cheng Su angrily, her cheeks puffing up the more he spoke. Cheng Su was so frightened that he swallowed the rest of his words and looked at her cautiously. They stared at each other for a moment before Zhuozhuo finally let out a sigh of relief, her little voice whispering, "You! Always! Lie!!"
“…”
Cheng Su truly felt the burning anger.
The others sensed this, too, and fearing to get involved in their father-daughter feud, they scattered like birds and beasts. Even the gentle, considerate, and understanding Saint Caroline cast a worried glance before slowly walking away.
Cheng Su was alone facing Zhuo Zhuo's anger. He was overwhelmed and racked his brains to calm Zhuo Zhuo down. Before he could speak, he found that her eyes seemed to be speaking.
He distinguished carefully.
His pupils trembled violently.
He struggled to his death.
"Good mother, I..."
Zhuozhuo reached forward and covered Cheng Su's mouth with his little hand. With his other little hand, he pointed to the distance and said in a very firm and crisp voice, "Transform into a seahorse."
She remembered that the contract required her to transform into a seahorse when they were alone, so she found a secluded place.
Now, Cheng Su also truly felt Zhuo Zhuo's seriousness and solemnity. His Adam's apple rolled and he subconsciously made an excuse, "It's very dangerous here. Let's wait until we leave..."
Zhuozhuo didn't listen, raised his head and opened his mouth, then cried out "Ah" and started crying again.
Cheng Su almost instinctively cast a silencing magic. Zhuozhuo found that she could not hear her own crying, so she tried her best to cry even louder. She even accidentally used her "light magic", which instantly broke the silencing magic. The sharp and loud crying almost pierced people's eardrums.
Cheng Su raised his hands in surrender, "Don't cry, little ancestor. I'll listen to you and go over there and turn into a seahorse now."
The crying stopped, the tears stopped, and she looked at Cheng Su with suspicion, pouting her lips as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Cheng Su was frightened by her sobbing ability. He pointed in the direction of Caroline and the Knights and said cautiously, "I need to explain to them. Why don't you have a piece of bread and a bowl of meatball soup first? It's uncomfortable to be hungry."
"Yeah, baby, you haven't had breakfast yet, eat something." Worried that Zhuozhuo might get into a fight with Cheng Su and refuse to eat, 9972 said, "If you don't eat breakfast, you'll get dizzy and retching when you cry. If you don't perform well, you won't be able to scare Cheng Su."
That being said, 9972 felt that if Zhuozhuo really cried non-stop, it would not only scare Cheng Su, but also the Knights and Caroline.
However, Zhuozhuo didn't know that she was also very hungry, but she didn't want to sit down to eat. She just held a pancake and followed Cheng Su closely, taking a bite from time to time.
She was worried that Cheng Su would shirk his debts and play tricks, which would make others think he was a pitiful little kid who was at odds with his father. So, before Cheng Su could come up with an excuse to leave, the Knight Commander waved his hand and said, "Go find a quiet place and coax Zhuo Zhuo. Daughters are all delicate, so you should go along with her and stop provoking her all the time. Besides, children are smart, so you can't lie to them or bully them."
Cheng Su didn't bother to pay attention to this blind guy and looked up at Caroline.
Caroline nodded in agreement and said gently, "Angus, Zhuozhuo is very thoughtful and very dependent on you. She just lost her mother, so she must be very scared and insecure. You have to be kind and patient with her."
“…”
Cheng Su was speechless. He had almost worshipped this little guy who he couldn't beat or talk to as his ancestor. What else could he ask of him? He forced a smile and said, "I'll let Zhuozhuo eat first, otherwise it will get cold."
Knight Commander: "Use magic to keep it warm. I'll help you!"
Caroline: "Breakfast can be kept warm, but Zhuozhuo is still young and can't be left hungry."
Cheng Su also said gently: "Yes, Zhuozhuo can't be hungry. If he is hungry, he will lose his temper."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuozhuo came out from behind him, pointed at him and said in a baby voice: "You bad guy, you crickets behind my back!"
Cheng Su: “…”
Why didn't he think enough to provoke her!
Zhuozhuo was furious with Cheng Su. She stared at him angrily, unwilling to let him go. Just as she was about to say a few more words to him, she saw Cheng Su quicken his pace and scoop a bowl of meatball soup from the pot. He smiled and waved at her, "Come on, mom, it's time for some soup."
Like calling a puppy.
Zhuozhuo didn't react. 9972 was very angry. It felt that Cheng Su was deliberately delaying time by procrastinating, because in the original plot, the Saint and the others would soon encounter a king-level demon and have a fierce battle. By then, the scene would be so chaotic that Zhuozhuo would definitely not have the time to take Cheng Su alone and let him turn into a seahorse.
But 9972 couldn't remind Zhuozhuo, lest she skip her meal and rush to turn Cheng Su into a seahorse. At worst, he could let Cheng Su succeed first, then tell Zhuozhuo after he'd dealt with the king-level demon, and encourage him to punish him even more.
Thinking of this, 9972 couldn't help but chuckle. Its baby was really amazing. Even without relying on family affection, it could still grasp the mission goal.
Zhuozhuo was still angry, and the delicious meatball soup couldn't buy her off. She sat on a simple stool that Cheng Su made of stones and clothes, with a sullen face, drinking the soup that Cheng Su fed her mouth mouthful by mouthful until she burped.
Zhuozhuo immediately jumped off the stool and dragged Cheng Su to the place she'd chosen, but then she heard him say he had to wash the dishes. She was unhappy, but she also knew she had to wash the dishes after dinner, so she had to pout and follow Cheng Su so she could drag him away as soon as possible. Then she saw the Knight Commander approaching, grabbing the soup bowl, and saying enthusiastically, "Angus, I'll wash the dishes. You go and keep Zhuozhuo company. Why are you dragging your feet like you're going to a dangerous place?"
Cheng Su almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.
Zhuozhuo smiled widely and said crisply, "Big brother, you are a good person. Zhuozhuo likes you!"
The Knight Commander gave a silly dad smile, "Hey, Zhuozhuo is so sweet. I like Zhuozhuo too."
He picked up Zhuozhuo with one hand, and used the hand holding the bowl to hold the reluctant Cheng Su, leading him to the corner that Zhuozhuo had favored. He walked them all the way to the place and said, "Zhuozhuo, have a good talk with your father and your good son."
"Yeah, okay~"
Zhuozhuo waved happily to the Knight Commander. After they left, she immediately closed the door and stared at Cheng Su with her sharp eyes.
“…”
Cheng Su, who had already prepared himself mentally, spoke almost instinctively, "Wait, I..."
He couldn't finish the rest of the words. Under Zhuozhuo's gaze, Cheng Su turned into an orange-yellow seahorse about 20 centimeters long with a "bang". He fell to the ground with a thud, subconsciously curled up his tail, and looked at Zhuozhuo and the ground with panic in his eyes.
Zhuozhuo was stunned by this magical scene. He jumped several times in excitement before squatting down to pick up the seahorse, and fondly touched its long mouth, beautiful dorsal fin and round belly.
The little seahorse struggled desperately after realizing what was happening, swaying and growling at Zhuozhuo. But the voice sounded so gentle that Zhuozhuo's eyes lit up even brighter, and he said softly, "Seahorse, seahorse, you like me holding you~"
The little seahorse's eyes were filled with despair, and he shook his tail even more violently. When he found that he couldn't speak, he tried hard to shake his tail, and a line of bold and enlarged words appeared in front of Zhuozhuo's eyes.
'Don't hug me!!!'
Zhuozhuo's eyes immediately became cross-eyed, and he struggled to identify it for a while, "No..."
Zhuozhuo didn't recognize the rest. He was not interested in learning new characters at the moment, and he had no hands free, so he simply took a deep breath and blew hard to disperse the magic font.
Cheng Haima Su, who was being touched again, said: "..."
Why is this little devil so strong? Is he cheating?
Cheng Su refused to accept his fate and once again condensed a huge magic font.
"Seahorses live in the sea. Without water, they will die!"
This time, he also used his own voice to provide voice reading, and the sound was huge.
"Seahorses live in the sea. Without water, they will die!"
Zhuozhuo was shocked and trembled, almost dropping the seahorse to the ground. Before she could hold it tightly again, Cheng Su swung his tail hard and fell out, and just before hitting the ground, he floated high up.
Cheng Su quickly cast a spell, encasing himself in an egg-shaped water ball. He then opened his interspatial ring and sprinkled some salt into the water. He staggered around in the water ball, forced to place a coral at the bottom, wrapping his tail around it to stabilize his body, and then looked down at Zhuo Zhuo.
Zhuozhuo said sincerely: "Haiba, you are cute."
Kaiba didn't want the compliment. He typed a series of magic characters and, in a very serious voice, warned Zhuozhuo, "Good mother, when we go out later, you can't tell anyone about our contract. If anyone asks me why I turned into a seahorse, just say you wanted to see a seahorse."
That way, when he turns back into a human later, everyone will just think that he dotes on his daughter to no limit and is willing to use T-shaped magic to turn into a small animal to make her happy, instead of guessing that he is controlled by others.
Zhuozhuo couldn't imagine so many twists and turns. 9972 thought that since Cheng Su was like this, he should feel better and didn't expose him. So Cheng Su's proposal was passed unanimously. He prepared himself mentally and floated outside.
The contract states that they will transform into seahorses when there are only two of them. If there are more people, it will go against the conditions and they will definitely transform back.
Zhuozhuo stopped him, she opened her arms and said expectantly: "Zhuozhuo hold Haima."
Cheng Su didn't want to provoke her at this time, so he patiently negotiated, "It's too big and too heavy. Good mother can't hold it. Let's not hold it anymore."
Because the egg-shaped water ball was really big, he felt confident and landed close to Zhuozhuo to let her try it.
Sure enough, Zhuozhuo opened her arms only to the width of the water ball. She groaned and gestured for a long time, but was completely unable to hold the water ball. She angrily slapped the water ball and said, "Smaller!"
Cheng Su immediately felt the water ball shrinking. He wasn't surprised, silently mobilizing all his magical power to resist. About five seconds later, the burning little hand withdrew, and the pressure suddenly disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl had no idea that she and Cheng Su had experienced a confrontation. She just stared at the water ball that hadn't changed at all, worrying about how to hold it, when she was angrily and lightly touched by the water ball that was two times bigger than her.
Zhuozhuo took two steps back to steady himself. 9972 immediately put away his sympathy and offered Zhuozhuo some advice: "Baby, tie it up with a rope."
It contributed a beautiful rope. [This rope is made of dragon tendons. It is not afraid of being cut by knives or burned by fire. It can also expand and contract as you wish. Once you tie Cheng Su up, he won't be able to escape.]
Zhuozhuo immediately took it and bound it to its master according to the method taught by 9972. Then, looking at the water ball that had already drifted away without realizing anything was wrong, she jumped and ran after it like a calf out of a cowshed, "Hahahahahaha——"
This laughter and this posture were like a devil out of a cage. Even Cheng Su shuddered and instinctively floated faster and higher, and then he was pulled down by a rope with a "snap".
Cheng Su immediately steered the water ball to continue floating. After it soared two or three meters, it seemed to be held by something. He leaned over and saw a rope tied to the lower half of the egg-shaped ball, the end held in Zhuozhuo's hand. It looked precarious. However, no matter how hard Cheng Su struggled, he managed to suspend Zhuozhuo, and the rope didn't slip at all, as if it were permanently attached to the ball.
“…”
Zhuozhuo refused to let go of the rope even after her toes left the ground. Just when Cheng Su was worried that her arm would be dislocated and she would fall, two big red wings suddenly popped out from her back with two "puff" sounds.
The big wings spread out, flapped twice, and flew up crookedly with a burning look.
Zhuozhuo turned around and saw the big wings. He was both panicked and excited. He held the rope tightly with one hand and touched the big wings with the other, shouting, "Guess! Guess! Zhuozhuo has grown chicken wings!"
She accidentally pulled off a handful of feathers and screamed in pain, "All!!!"
9972 also called out, "Don't be afraid, baby! These aren't chicken wings! You saw the Orcs last night, and they activated the Orc bloodline I bought for you! Don't panic, fly slowly, and don't hit the wall! Ahhh, turn quickly!!!"
"Everything! Everything!"
Zhuozhuo flapped her big wings and stumbled around, flying high and low, left and right, unable to control the limbs that had appeared out of thin air. She also threw the seahorse around and was confused. She was about to hit the wall, but she couldn't change direction.
Just when Zhuozhuo was about to crash into it, a pair of strong arms hugged her, big hands held down the flapping wings, and slowly landed her on the ground.
The little guy was still in shock and subconsciously twisted his body to get into the arms of the person behind him, but he found that the person behind him was not a person, but an egg-shaped water ball.
The upper part of the water ball extended and transformed into a human arm. The seahorse in the water ball tilted sideways, staring at Zhuozhuo. Its eyeballs darted wildly up and down, left and right, forward and backward, finally coming to rest on Zhuozhuo.
Cheng Haima Su used magic to speak, "Good mother, fold your wings and untie the rope."
Zhuozhuo leaned quietly on the water ball, as if she was leaning on Cheng Su's chest. She blinked and began to fold her wings.
First, the voice remote control, "Big Wings, go back."
The big wings trembled, but there was no sign of retracting.
Then it was manual control. Zhuozhuo grabbed the wings and stuffed them onto his back. He was so tired after all the work that he was out of breath and only a few down feathers fell off.
The little fellow got angry and slapped his wings suddenly. The big wings seemed to be frightened and whooshed into Zhuozhuo's back and disappeared.
The seahorse floated up and found that except for two holes in its clothes, its back was smooth, without any signs of wings growing or being drilled by wings.
9972 asked Zhuozhuo to stand behind the stone pillar and change her clothes, but Zhuozhuo refused, saying, "Let my good son change."
9972 was instantly distraught. It knew Zhuozhuo lacked a sense of security in this small world, and after being rescued by Cheng Su once, she had become dependent on him! But Cheng Su was too dangerous, and Zhuozhuo couldn't just hand him over. Fortunately, she spoke those words to it in her mind, so Cheng Su couldn't hear. Otherwise, wouldn't he have immediately turned over and claimed the master's position with his tail raised to the sky?
[Baby, you are still young. It is not time for your son to serve you.]
"All right."
Zhuozhuo was a little disappointed and asked Cheng Su to stand in front of the stone pillar to accompany her.
Cheng Su noticed Zhuo Zhuo's change of attitude and readily agreed, reminding her, "You forgot to untie the rope."
He doesn’t even call me “good mom” anymore.
9972 snorted coldly and was about to persuade Zhuozhuo not to untie it when she heard her babyish voice say, "No, if you untie it, it will be bad for our good son."
Cheng Su choked and shamelessly defended, "Good mother, it's mainly because you haven't really been in danger before. You are very capable and you have always been able to get out of danger by yourself. I promise that even if you untie the rope, I will save you if you are in danger. Just like before."
"don't want."
Zhuozhuo still flatly refused, "You always lie."
Cheng Su: “…”
Perhaps the artificial seawater wasn't up to snuff for seahorses, but Cheng Haima Su felt flustered and restless, desperate to leave this water ball. He looked at Zhuo Zhuo, who seemed to be clinging to his lifeline, and suppressed the urge to leap into the sea. He offered her a pity, "Mom, if you don't untie the rope, I'll die."
After saying that, the seahorse released its tail that was hooked on the coral and fell straight to the bottom of the water ball. It swayed with the rippling water and looked like it was really dead.
Zhuozhuo was so frightened that his face turned pale. He threw himself onto the water ball and said, "Son! Don't die! I'll untie you..."
[Baby! He's lying to you!] 9972 spoke quickly, [Cheng Su is reluctant to die, he just wants to scare you so that you can untie the rope.]
"ah?"
"ah……"
Zhuozhuo looked at the beautiful little seahorse and didn't feel angry, just depressed and empty. She couldn't tell what she was feeling. She watched for a while, untied the rope, and sure enough, she found that the tip of the seahorse's tail trembled slightly.
After standing there for a few seconds, Zhuozhuo couldn't help scratching his hands and feet and looking around. He felt like he had lice all over his body and felt uncomfortable standing there.
The moment Kaiba opened his eyes, Zhuozhuo turned and ran away.
9972 kept an eye on Zhuozhuo and noticed something was wrong with her. He asked cautiously, "What's wrong, baby? Cheng Su is so irritating? Should we beat him up?"
Zhuozhuo shook his head silently, finally sorting out his thoughts, and said crisply: "No more fighting, all of you, Zhuozhuo doesn't want Cheng Su's son anymore!"
9972 was stunned for a moment. Instead of being happy, it felt incredibly distressed. Zhuozhuo had been deceived by Cheng Su so many times that he was completely disappointed. He would rather not have a son than play with him anymore.
[Don't be sad, baby. I will definitely find you a son who is ten thousand times better than Cheng Su!]
Zhuozhuo ignored 9972's boastful words and opened the door and ran out. She saw Caroline surrounded by the knights from afar and shouted as she ran, "Sister Kaka!"
Caroline turned around and saw Zhuozhuo running towards her. A panic expression appeared on her gentle and holy face. She raised her magic wand and a soft white light hit Zhuozhuo.
Zhuozhuo wanted to ask what it was, but she found herself unable to make a sound and was still rapidly drifting backwards. Before she could find a way to stop, her back bumped into something soft and bouncy. And right in front of Caroline and the others, a strange-looking creature suddenly appeared. With a light scratch of its claws, a red mist appeared.
The next second, the scene in front of Zhuo Zhuo's eyes became blurred. The endless water squeezed her, her eyes were sore, her ears were roaring, and she felt nauseous and retching. The water flowed through her nostrils and mouth into her lungs and esophagus. She subconsciously called out, "Tongtong! Good son!"
Without making a sound, she took a gulp of water. Zhuozhuo cried out in her mind, feeling the familiar sensation of near-death. She cried out for Mom and Dad. Almost instantly, all the discomfort and pain disappeared, replaced by a sense of comfort and ease, like a fish in water.
Zhuozhuo glanced around blankly, her peripheral vision catching a tiny glint of golden light. She turned her head and saw that the leg beneath her belly had transformed into a beautiful golden fishtail. The tail was long, gorgeous, and noble, with an inexplicably chubby and cute quality. It swung under Zhuozhuo's gaze, as if greeting her.
"Tongtong, tail..."
9972's heart was at ease. If Zhuozhuo didn't activate the mermaid bloodline, it would use props.
It explained to Zhuozhuo, who was confused, "The Saint and the Knights encountered a king-level demon. The Saint used magic to randomly teleport you out. Cheng Su caught up with you just as the magic took effect, and you were both teleported into the ocean. Baby, you just activated your mermaid bloodline, which I bought for you. You're now a mermaid, and you can go anywhere you want in the ocean."
Looking at the blazing golden fishtail again, 9972 added: [The golden fishtail is the symbol of the mermaid royal family. Baby, you can still be a little princess here.]
Zhuozhuo touched his gauze-like tail fin and suddenly asked, "Zhuozhuo saw a big monster and red mist, what is it?"
9972 was stuck. What were the big monster and the red mist? The big monster was the king-level demon, and the red mist was the blood spurting out from the knights severed by his claws. But he couldn't tell Zhuo Zhuo about this. But Zhuo Zhuo must have instinctively felt something was wrong, which was why he asked this question first, crossing the Tail Mermaid Sea and Cheng Su.
Hesitantly, 9972 said, "Baby, that's the Vatican's secret. We can't just pry into other people's secrets, right?"
Zhuozhuo looked worried. "So, Sister Kaka, Big Brother, how is everyone doing?"
9972 said vaguely: [Well, they are all trying to do their own thing.]
Zhuozhuo didn't realize it was trying to fool him. He patted his chest in relief and said childishly, "Let them be busy. I'll go play with them later."
[OK. ]
I feel 99.72 million times guilty. After such a short time together, Zhuozhuo shouldn't be able to remember every knight's face, right?
After a moment of silence, Zhuozhuo pouted and said awkwardly, "Where's Cheng Su?"
[……]
Rather than caring about his own fish tail, Zhuozhuo actually cared about Cheng Su's whereabouts and safety first.
Cheng Su, how can you be so worthy of this?
