Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Aquaman Dad 14
After the invisibility magic was added, the little angel urged, his tone cheerful, "Cheng Su, let's go and find Auntie. She must have been waiting for a long time."
Cheng Su suddenly felt heavy-hearted. His aunt had probably dug the Death Swamp deep into the ground and imagined thousands of ways for him to die miserably. He might be hacked to pieces by swords the moment he showed up with Zhuo Zhuo.
He squatted down and solemnly pressed Zhuo Zhuo's small shoulder. "I have something very important to tell you. Don't rush out."
It wasn't that he didn't want to go out and face his aunt, but what happened just now might give Zhuozhuo a negative impression of him, so he had to explain it immediately.
Zhuozhuo noticed Cheng Su's intention to delay, waved her hand, and said generously, "Speak."
Cheng Su inexplicably felt like he was being pampered, but he really needed it right now. He tried to ignore the rising shame in his heart and said seriously, "Just now, the beastman priest and I fell into the coffin and disappeared. In fact, we were teleported to a sea of flowers. I found that space to be different from the outside world and very interesting, so I found a way to seal it up and bring it out."
He pulled out a transparent glass ball the size of a quail egg and handed it to Zhuozhuo, "Here's yours to play with."
Audrey, who was standing beside the teleportation array, glanced over here silently.
Zhuozhuo curiously took the glass ball and discovered a sea of sweet-looking pink flowers within. Just looking at it made one want to take a bite, then roll around inside. The top half of the glass ball was covered in blue sky and white clouds, while the edges featured mountains and dense forests, each with neatly cut marks.
"What is this?"
Cheng Su said, "This is the sea of flowers. Now we can call it a portable space. Does it look good?"
9972 popped out of Zhuo Zhuo's mind, its head slamming against the glass ball, and it exclaimed in shock, "A portable space?! You made the Dryad Tribe's sacred land into a portable space? You were teleported away specifically to steal the Dryad Tribe's sacred land?"
Cheng Su already knew 9972's personality well. He had already set up a soundproof barrier the moment it appeared. He nodded without hesitation, "Yes. I think Zhuozhuo will like it and will be able to use it in the future."
For example, if you want to go in and finish your homework when school is about to start, it is definitely practical.
9972 didn't know whether she should be shocked that Cheng Su could already control time and space, or surprised that he thought so deeply about Zhuo Zhuo. She glanced at the little guy who was holding the glass ball and couldn't let it go, and it silently returned to her mind.
Cheng Su, who had been observing calmly, breathed a sigh of relief. He had explained this specifically to 9972. Zhuozhuo didn't understand the dirty things adults did, but if 9972 misunderstood him and whispered nonsense in Zhuozhu's ear, causing her to misunderstand, then he would be wronged.
But now it seems that 9972 won't talk nonsense to Zhuozhuo anymore. Very good.
"Zhuozhuo, wait for me a moment. I'm going to say goodbye to someone."
Cheng Su glanced at the beastman priest, and the words he said overlapped with Zhuo Zhuo's.
The little guy tilted his head and looked at the teleportation array, wondering, "Who's looking at me? They're all sleeping, but you're not. Are you looking at me? You've looked at me several times."
Zhuozhuo stared at Audrey, then realized she couldn't hear her because of the soundproof barrier. She reached out her hand and pressed it into the air. The invisible barrier vanished, and she repeated her words.
Cheng Su and Zhuo Zhuo looked over together. He also wanted to ask Audrey why she had such a big reaction when she saw Zhuo Zhuo just now. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Zhuo was so perceptive and had already noticed it.
Awesome.
Audrey felt a lot of pressure being looked at by the two men, one big and one small. Just as the tribesmen had moved into the teleportation array, she subconsciously wanted to activate the array and escape, but was hit by Cheng Su's magic and was fixed in place, unable to move.
She was very tactful and said before Zhuozhuo could speak, "I mean no harm. The ancient orcish texts describe the appearance of the savior: a three-year-old girl, adorable as ice and snow, alert and fearless. I never believed it, but when I saw you, I knew the ancient records were true. I was planning to go back and confirm it before solemnly visiting you, but there's nothing wrong with making things clear now."
Cheng Su fell into deep thought, wondering what this ancient book was.
9972 was speechless. Where on earth could the Orcs get such ancient texts about the Savior? It was probably some new creation of the World Consciousness, meant to plot against Zhuozhuo. But judging by Cheng Su's attitude towards Zhuozhuo, he might actually do something for her. The World Consciousness had, after all, been a lucky accomplice.
Zhuozhuo was confused and asked doubtfully, "Is there a picture of Zhuozhuo in the book at home?"
Audrey nodded silently.
Zhuozhuo stretched out his little hand, very interested, "I want to see it."
"I don't have it with me. You can come back to the Orc territory with me." Audrey glanced at Cheng Su, whose face was cold, and explained, "Ancient texts say that the savior possesses the strengths of all races. He is an absolutely just and powerful being who is not afraid of conspiracies or attacks. You don't have to worry about what we will do."
Cheng Su remained noncommittal, completely skeptical of such a thing. However, if the orcish issue was at the forefront, perhaps Zhuozhuo's aunt wouldn't waste too much time grappling with him. But everything depended on Zhuozhuo's wishes. He quite liked the little guy's cleverness in making independent decisions and had no intention of interfering.
The considerate Tongtong translated Audrey's words to Zhuozhuo in his mind, and complained, "Savior, how unoriginal! Our baby has been the savior countless times, so he doesn't even care about the title."
It didn't even try to persuade him, and didn't worry at all that Zhuozhuo would be tempted by such a title.
Zhuozhuo tilted his head to look at Audrey, who looked sincere. His focus was peculiar, and he asked a curious yet sincere question, "Why is there a savior? Why does the world need to be destroyed? Do you know?"
Audrey choked, shook her head, and then hesitated before saying, "But the threat of a future apocalyptic crisis is certainly real. Orc priests can communicate with the Beast God, and accordingly, they possess a certain ability to sense the heavens and the earth. And according to word of mouth among the priests, the Beast God hasn't responded to the calls of his believers for nearly a thousand years, and several senior priests have had a profound premonition of crisis..."
She hesitated, then, under the gaze of those piercing, clear eyes, she steeled her resolve and blurted it out. "Those premonitions were terrifying, only a crisis of genocide could reach such a level. The elders believed something had happened to the Beast God, and that without the divine protection, the Orcs would perish, so they didn't dare reveal a single detail. But I can sense that this isn't just a crisis for the Orcs, it's a crisis for the entire continent."
At some point, the immobilization magic wore off. Audrey walked out of the teleportation array, reverently bowed to Zhuozhuo with a strange gesture, and whispered a terrifying guess, "Perhaps not only the Beast God, but also the God of Life, the God of Light, the God of Time and Space, the God of the Sea, the Dragon God, and all the other gods no longer exist."
She said all the gods were dead.
But such outrageous words did not bring about any punishment.
Audrey waited quietly for a moment, all was calm. Her face showed no trace of the joy of having escaped danger. She looked at Zhuozhuo with a complicated expression, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, she only said, "I will protect you, follow you, and do everything I can to ensure you grow up safely."
9972 silently carried it, the baby does not need to grow up to become a savior, and besides, he will not grow up at all.
A reddish-brown streak of light flew out from Audrey's heart, stayed in the palm of her hand for a moment, and then disappeared.
Zhuozhuo felt the connection between him and Audrey and wondered, "Did you sign a contract with me?"
"This is a pledge of allegiance. You are not responsible for me. I will give you everything I have, including my life."
Audrey said it lightly, but even Zhuozhuo could sense the giant spider's madness. The little creature didn't sense any malice, and its attitude softened considerably. "I don't want your life," it said softly. "You're bleeding so much. Go home and see a doctor."
A reddish-brown stream of light slowly appeared in the palm of her hand. She gently raised her hand and pushed it, and the light flew towards Audrey's heart and disappeared into it.
The two adults and the system who witnessed this scene were utterly shocked. According to the rules of the Western Fantasy Continent, the oath of allegiance was irreversible and irrevocable. They had never seen anyone casually return an oath. It was just a joke.
9972 I am amazed. Yan Bufan is cheating for Zhuozhuo.
Audrey's expression became even more respectful. She stopped talking about the oath and promised, "Whenever and wherever you need us, the Orcs will help you."
Zhuozhuo's expression gradually became serious, and he asked seriously, "What do you want me to do?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch, Zhuozhuo knows it very well. This beautiful yet scary big spider said so many nice things, could it be that it wants to eat her?
Audrey was very pleased with Zhuozhuo's vigilance and said respectfully, "Do whatever you want. I won't interfere."
Due to the nature of their profession, some orc priests have foreseen the future and attempted to alter it, only to later discover that their actions had caused the prophecy to come true. To prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes, records were left as a warning. Audrey naturally wouldn't attempt to do anything that would affect Zhuozhuo's growth.
Zhuozhuo stared at Audrey for a while, but couldn't see anything. But she never gave herself a hard time, so she didn't dwell on it any more. She waved her hand and said casually, "Okay, thank you."
Anyway, she is not familiar with Big Spider, so she can say whatever she wants, she won't listen.
Zhuozhuo smiled adorably, but her big eyes clearly said "Why don't you leave yet?" Audrey understood and tactfully returned to the teleportation array and left with her people.
In an instant, only the two of them were left in the ruins of the temple. Zhuozhuo looked at Cheng Su, "Auntie..."
"Okay, I'll be out right away."
There was no time to delay any longer. Cheng Su picked up Zhuo Zhuo with one hand and activated the teleportation array with the other. At the last moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Zhuo Zhuo, who do you like more, me or your aunt?"
I felt regretful after asking this question. It was just asking for trouble.
But Cheng Su still had a faint hope in his heart. He still had a certain degree of competitiveness - Zhuozhuo could bully him without any scruples, and his aunt could not provide such emotional value.
However, the reality was even more cruel than she had imagined. Zhuozhuo didn't even have time to answer him. After the teleportation was complete, she spotted Wu Jingqiu standing like a pillar at the edge of the swamp. She immediately held out her hand excitedly, "Auntie!!!"
The little guy was so excited that he threw his body around and fell out of Cheng Su's arms. Cheng Su quickly caught him, but before he could hold him firmly, the little guy threw himself around again. The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and when Wu Jingqiu quickly came to him, Zhuozhuo suddenly pounced and threw himself into Wu Jingqiu's arms, like a kidnapped child finding his mother.
"Auntie! Zhuozhuo misses you!"
Zhuozhuo sat on Wu Jingqiu's arm, moving around wildly, hugging Wu Jingqiu's neck and rubbing his face against hers, then lying on Wu Jingqiu's chest and sobbing. Finally, when his emotions finally calmed down a bit, Zhuozhuo cupped Wu Jingqiu's face and stared at her for a long time before leaning in and giving her several "mua~mua~" kisses.
After the kiss, Zhuozhuo hugged Wu Jingqiu and spoke softly to her. He talked about her experiences in the temple ruins and on the seabed, and about the people she met. Caroline and Bethany took up a considerable amount of space, so much so that Cheng Su was jealous. He even took out the Sword of Light and the glass ball to show Wu Jingqiu.
Cheng Su stood by and listened, realizing he was invisible. Zhuozhuo hadn't mentioned a single thing the entire time. His heart sank. He wondered how much the little guy must dislike him to be avoiding him.
Wu Jingqiu had long noticed the sad frog nearby. After Zhuozhuo finished his chatter and comforted the little creature, she casually asked, "What is he doing? Why didn't he help you when you were in danger?"
Zhuozhuo blinked, "Cheng Su helped me, and he even took me out to play."
Zhuozhuo opened up again and recounted his experiences since their separation, this time including Cheng Su. He hadn't been able to hide how he'd initially tricked Zhuozhu into calling him "Daddy." Wu Jingqiu's expression grew increasingly serious as she listened, her gaze piercing Cheng Su. But when she heard Zhuozhuo finally agree to call him "Daddy," she gradually calmed down and looked Cheng Su over.
Finally, Wu Jingqiu said the first words to Cheng Su after their reunion, "The tree demon tribe has many mysterious methods. If they track down the holy land in Zhuozhuo's hands, it will be very dangerous."
Cheng Su immediately said, "I cast a transformation spell on it. No matter what means are used, it is me that is detected, and it has nothing to do with Zhuo Zhuo."
Wu Jingqiu nodded, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he said no more.
Cheng Su anxiously waited for her to continue nitpicking and getting angry: "......?"
Please don't use cold violence.
Zhuozhuo leaned on Wu Jingqiu's arm and reached out to Cheng Su, "Daddy? Are you stupid? Move a little, auntie won't be mean to you anymore."
Cheng Su: “…”
It actually worked out just like that. Could it be because Wu Jingqiu sensed his deep paternal love for Zhuozhuo? Could it be that their mission was to find a father for Zhuozhuo?
If that's the case, you must choose him, he is reliable.
