Chapter 223 Chapter 223 Buddhist Dad (End)
Zhuozhuo asked again: "Dad, what are these?"
Gu Yan chuckled: "It tells us to ask quickly."
Nuan Guang: What the hell! Get lost, Gu Yan!
"Dad, it's changed again. What's this?"
"This is 'Please ask quickly.' Zhuozhuo, it seems the Beast God Heart really wants to speak. Otherwise, why don't you ask it?"
The beast god's heart, ready to erupt in rage and curse, subsided. The scattered warm light quickly gathered again, writing a line of soft and adorable words: [Little Yellow Duck] Zhuozhuo, what do you [Calico Kitten] want to ask [Huahua] about [Red Apple]? [Little Car] ~ [Sun/Moon/Little Star]
Zhuozhuo was puzzled: "Dad, is the Beast God Xinxin going to sell toys?"
A single ray of warm light appeared before Gu Yan’s eyes: Read quickly! ! ! ! !
Gu Yan waved away the two words and the exclamation marks, each one bigger than the last. He looked with a headache at the pile of stickers in front of Zhuo Zhuo, which were larger than the words and more numerous. He sneered, "What do you want Zhuo Zhuo to ask? You're our enemy. Would you tell us the truth? Would you say anything that's detrimental to you? Stop pretending!"
Beast God's Heart: You shameless old bitch! Stop sowing discord! I won't lie to Zhuo Zhuo. I'll tell her whatever she asks! Anyway, your plan and my goal align!
The provoked Beast God's Heart blurted out all its thoughts in one breath, then regretted it immediately, and angrily banged its head against Gu Yan's chest a few times.
Gu Yan wasn't angry or resentful. He was still pondering the Beast God's words. What did "your plans align with my goals" mean? What was their plan? Was it to remove the Beast God's Heart from Gu Yan? Zhuo Zhuo still needed to calm the beast tide. Was that also the Beast God's goal?
Gu Yan pondered, animals are cunning, he couldn't confirm the true thoughts of the Beast God Heart, so he couldn't trust it, let alone tell its words to Zhuo Zhuo.
However, Zhuozhuo couldn't wait any longer and had 9972 read it to her. Unlike Gu Yan's suspicion and overthinking, Zhuozhuo immediately believed what Beast God Heart said. With a beaming smile, she asked, "Beast God Xinxin, are you willing to come out of Daddy?"
In almost an instant, the warm light rearranged itself into huge characters and flashed before Zhuozhuo's eyes: Yes! I do! Zhuozhuo, help me! [heart][heart][heart]
His answers were so quick and in such a fancy way that he sounded like a liar trying to fool children.
Zhuozhuo didn't agree immediately. She said like a little adult, "Let me confirm, Beast God Xinxin, are you willing to return to your own body?"
The warm light gathered and exploded into fireworks under Zhuo Zhuo's curious gaze. The falling warm light formed a new line of words: Yes. [scattering flowers][fireworks][thousand paper cranes]
"Hmm." Zhuozhuo puffed out her cheeks in a thoughtful manner, her bright eyes darting towards Gu Yan, full of help. She had finished her questions, not knowing what else to ask, hoping Gu Yan could offer some advice.
Gu Yan continued to play the good guy, sneering, "If you just wanted to return to your original body, why didn't you tell us for over twenty years? Don't tell us you're trying to trick us into killing you now, do you?"
Beast God Heart: No! Yes! [Angry Birds] [Angry Little Man Breathing Fire]
Heart of the Beast God: Zhuozhuo, you have to believe me. [Puppy eyes wet][Kitten crying]
Zhuozhuo subconsciously stood on tiptoe to touch the puppy's head and the kitten's ears. Then, she heard Gu Yan cough softly. She withdrew her hand, smiled awkwardly, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy is right, Xinxin, why didn't you tell her you wanted to go back before?"
Warm light gathered like an axe, hammering down hard on Gu Yan's face. Though the damage was minimal, the Beast God's heart was satisfied, and he continued to answer Zhuo Zhuo's questions: "I didn't tell Gu Yan before because I didn't trust him. He's gloomy, cunning, and full of evil intentions, hoping for chaos. He spends his days brewing an unprecedented beast tide to crush everyone in the world into mud." Zhuo Zhuo, do you think I'd dare tell a person like that that I still have a body?
Originally, Gu Yan had no way to create a grand beast tide, and now it said it was like sending him a pillow!
Of course, the Beast God's heart was not thinking about the people of the world. It was afraid that Gu Yan would use some means to control it and would never be free again.
But ever since Zhuozhuo came, Gu Yan has been quietly changing day by day. The Beast God's Heart was sealed and had nothing to do, so he kept observing how the two of them got along, and gradually came to a conclusion - Gu Yan awakened the skills of raising children, fatherly love as high as a mountain, a kind father's heart, and unlimited pampering.
The most important thing is that beneath Gu Yan's calm and gentle appearance, there was a turbulent flow that wanted to destroy everything and a volcano that was about to erupt. Now he was tortured by the burning pain and had no energy to feel resentment or anger. He was calm and composed, his heart was as still as water, and his heart was dead. He was about to be polished into a big Buddha by the business of raising a child.
Zhuozhuo, on the other hand, is a smart, innocent, kind, helpful, gentle and patient baby. She knows the purpose of the Beast God's Heart and will definitely not deliberately cause damage or use it for anything.
So, with Zhuozhuo around, the Beast God's Heart wasn't afraid to reveal its desires. Just to be safe, it teamed up with the Beast God's body first to see if it could succeed. If it did, it wouldn't have to ask Zhuozhuo for a favor. If it didn't, it wouldn't matter; it could just play the victim and perform a kneeling slide for Zhuozhuo.
The Beast God's Heart possessed the innate cunning of animals. It calmly thought, now it was just sliding on its knees. As for whether it would accidentally hurt Gu Yan, that was not within its consideration, hehe.
Gu Yan chuckled and said to Zhuo Zhuo, "Zhuo Zhuo, you see, this is the downside of living in someone else's heart. Everyone has a dark side, and it's common to fantasize about destroying the world when you're bored, but it's just a thought, not an action. But the Beast God's heart was so inexperienced that it actually took it seriously and was so timid about it. This caused our misunderstanding to last for more than ten years, and it also delayed its return to its own body by more than ten years. This is truly a pity, such a shame."
The Beast God's Heart flew into a rage: "Gu Yan, how dare you say that! You didn't act not because you were just thinking about it, but because you didn't have the ability! You can't do it! Stop flattering yourself! You're still talking about pity and regret, so hypocritical!!!"
Zhuozhuo, with the devoted help of 9972, was still digesting the Beast God Heart's confession and Gu Yan's counterattack. Her eyes were slightly glazed and unfocused, and she watched the friendly exchange between Beast God Heart and Gu Yan like an emotionless puppet. When she finally understood the important information, she let out an "ah" and said childishly, "Stop arguing. If you have something to say, sit down and talk it out. When you're done, let's hold hands and be good friends."
The Beast God's Heart wanted to say that it wasn't friends with Gu Yan, yue! But before it could write anything, it heard Zhuo Zhuo's baby voice say, "Xin Xin, you're a good friend. Zhuo Zhuo will help you."
Beast God's Heart: Good! Good friends, for life! [Tears welled up in my eyes][Snake laughs]
Not only that, it also threw a [snake basin mouth] emoticon at Gu Yan to threaten him, asking him not to expose it.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything and agreed.
Zhuozhuo clapped his hands happily, puffed out his cheeks, and said seriously in his baby voice, "Xinxin, when you return to your body, will you do anything bad?"
Heart of the Beast God: No! I am a good beast! A home snake! I can stay in my nest for a thousand years!
It was so anxious that it even forgot to change its emoticons.
Zhuozhuo believed it without hesitation, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Xinxin, where is your body?"
The Beast God Heart hesitated for a moment, and Gu Yan immediately understood. He carried Zhuo Zhuo and walked in the opposite direction. "The Beast God Heart needs to communicate with the body. Let's get out of the way."
This retreat was a long way off, passing through towering trees, and soon they could no longer see the place they had been before. Zhuozhuo suspected that Gu Yan was going home, so he quickly told him to go back. Gu Yan said that the Beast God Heart would not be able to communicate so quickly, so he would not return.
As the two of them were tugging at each other, Zhuozhuo suddenly heard the roars and chirps of beasts and birds in the forest, the fluttering of wings, and the clatter of powerful hooves. She looked back in panic and saw a swarm of magical beasts fleeing in all directions, as if pursued by a predator. However, these magical beasts, whether flying or running, no matter how frantic they were, avoided the direction of Zhuozhuo and Guyan, creating a scene of Moses parting the sea in the dense forest.
Zhuozhuo asked slowly, "Are there any of these monsters left with only bones?"
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes as he watched the fleeing monsters. He said in a gentle voice, "We didn't see them just now. They must have been hidden by the illusion cast by the Beast God's body."
He took Zhuozhuo away so that Beast Heart could quickly dispose of the food at the doorstep before it piled up and scared Zhuozhuo. But this was too crude a solution; how different was it from previous beast tides?
Glancing at Zhuozhuo who hadn't reacted yet, Gu Yan was just about to ask the Beast God's Heart to confine the monster within the forest when he saw a flash of warm light at the edge of the forest. An invisible barrier was erected and a fast-flying bird crashed into the barrier and was knocked unconscious.
Gu Yan brought Zhuo Zhuo back to the previous place. Behind the piles of white bones, a dark cave was half revealed, which was very similar to what they saw in the illusion.
After seeing this, Zhuozhuo also remembered it and leaned into Gu Yan's arms with some fear.
Heart of the Beast God: That’s it, go go go!
Zhuozhuo whispered, "Beast God Xinxin, you really won't harm Zhuozhuo and Daddy, okay?"
The beast god's heart wanted to sing Dou E's injustice: [snowflakes] Really! [snowflakes] I am a good beast! [snowflakes] [snowflakes]
"Okay, Zhuozhuo believes you."
After entering the cave, the Beast God's Heart provided illumination, and the scene inside was just like the dream, giving the illusion of being transported back to a dream. But before she had gone far, Zhuozhuo saw a low, emerald green wall. Before she could ask, Gu Yan and 9972 spoke simultaneously.
"It's indeed a snake, Zhuozhuo, this is the snake's tail!"
[Baby, this is the beast god's snake tail!]
Zhuozhuo gazed cautiously at the snake's tail, thinking it resembled pure jade, its scales glowing in the warm light—utterly beautiful. The Beast God's heart raced with excitement, and the warm light quickly descended into the depths of the cave, like a magical painter, wiping away the darkness to reveal a sinuous jade snake. The snake's body held a devastating power, yet in the next moment, it vanished without a trace.
"What a long, thick snake! Xinxin, how are you going to get back?"
Heart of the Beast God: The one who sealed me was a lunatic with a stereotyped mindset. He refused to believe I was a good snake and threatened that if anyone truly believed I hadn't killed innocent people and was willing to sacrifice their blood to save me, the seal would automatically be lifted. Zhuozhuo, you...
The characters were scattered by a large hand, and Gu Yan said gloomily, "Use my blood."
He didn't wait for the Beast God's Heart to protest, as he ran his hand over the sword and quickly pressed it against his chest, so fast that Zhuo Zhuo didn't even see him bleed.
The Beast Heart watched coldly, ready to taunt Gu Yan when his blood proved ineffective. The next second, it discovered the seal that had trapped it for millennia was loosening. It was in disbelief. How could it be possible?! It would rather believe it had misremembered the conditions for lifting the seal than believe Gu Yan truly believed it was an innocent snake!
As if he knew what the Beast God was thinking, Gu Yan sneered, "It's just brainwashing yourself."
If he can't do it, he will use burning blood. Thinking this way, he can accept any brainwashing package!
The Heart of the Beast God didn't care about anything else. The moment the seal disappeared, it flew out of Gu Yan's chest. The warm yellow light hit the green snake like a swallow flying into the forest.
The next moment, the light disappeared and the cave was pitch black.
Gu Yan had been prepared and threw out several lighting instruments, illuminating the cave as brightly as day.
Zhuozhuo nervously looked at the motionless snake and asked worriedly, "Dad, what will happen if Xinxin is driven out?"
After all, I have been away from home for too long, and my hometown may be occupied by something else, and the Heart of the Beast God does not seem to be very useful except for making people dream.
Gu Yan was amused by Zhuo Zhuo's bizarre idea and said casually, "If the Beast God's Heart has no carrier, it will dissipate within a day. After dissipating, the Beast God's body will fall into a frenzy."
Previously, the Beast God's carcass had been able to so cunningly attract magical beasts to its clutches because it maintained a subtle connection with the Beast God's heart. Once it lost its spiritual consciousness, the Beast God's carcass would be nothing more than a hollow shell of immense power, waiting to die, driven by instinct to wreak havoc. At that point, overwhelmed by the Beast God's might, all the magical beasts would flee from the forest, creating an unprecedented beast tide.
Zhuozhuo stared at the snake's body, unaware and unconscious, when 9972 suddenly realized that Gu Yan had truly sought death during the evolution process! With his death, the Beast God's heart was buried with him. The Beast God's body erupted in rage, and a massive beast tide formed, rushing towards the human city. Humanity was unable to resist, and nearly all of them were killed or wounded. The maddened Beast God's body and the demonic beasts wreaked havoc everywhere, damaging the foundation of the small world and causing evolution to fail.
And now…
"The snake's tail is moving!"
Zhuozhuo exclaimed, and then he saw green waves surging and snakes swimming. A ferocious yet stupid-looking huge snake head emerged from the cave, approached Zhuozhuo, and spoke in human language, "Zhuozhuo, I keep my promise. I won't do evil, and there will be no more beast waves rushing out of the Monster Forest."
As soon as these words fell, the giant snake shrank rapidly and tried to climb onto Zhuozhuo, but was caught by Gu Yan and thrown deep into the cave.
"Ahhhh, I'll be back!"
Zhuo Zhuo's frightened pupils returned to normal, his brain restarted, and he said softly, "This snake is not bad."
"Well, it's just that being too powerful always makes people wary, so people team up to kill her." Gu Yan put Zhuo Zhuo on the ground, squatted down to look her in the eye, and said with a smile: "Zhuo Zhuo, you have completed everything you wanted to do."
Zhuozhuo was moved by something, his smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at Gu Yan and nodded slightly.
Gu Yan's smile became even gentler. "I'm done with things here, and I need to be busy elsewhere. Zhuozhuo, are you too busy to think about me?"
9972:[……]
Gu Yan was so aware of Zhuo Zhuo's departure! Why did he act like he was more familiar with the mission process than Zhuo Zhuo?
Zhuozhuo rushed forward, hugged Gu Yan's neck, and called out muffledly, "Dad."
"Dad is here." Gu Yan also hugged Zhuo Zhuo and patted her back gently. "Good Zhuo Zhuo, leave in the way that is most comfortable for you. Dad will wait for you and will come to find you. Don't miss him."
[……! ! !]
Honestly, at that moment, 9972 was terrified that Gu Yan would open the system's control panel and say, "Come, I'll teach you 108 ways to painlessly escape this small world." Fortunately, that nightmare didn't come true.
Zhuozhuo realized that separation was imminent, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said stubbornly with tears in his voice: "Zhuozhuo will miss Daddy. I will miss him every day, when I eat, when I sleep, when I poop..."
Gu Yan: "Dad will miss Zhuo Zhuo too."
He wiped away Zhuozhuo's tears and gently reminded her, "Zhuozhuo, don't let others bully you, don't make yourself unhappy. Daddy will become stronger and protect you. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Daddy!"
Zhuozhuo hugged Gu Yan's neck tightly, and the next second, his arms fell limply without a sound.
Gu Yan knelt on the ground, gently holding the soft little body in his arms. His eyes gradually turned upwards, and he whispered, "Zhuozhuo, don't cry, it will be over soon..."
