Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Aquaman Dad 13
[Don't cry, baby. Cheng Su isn't dead. He might have been transported to a bad place...]
9972 hesitated, feeling embarrassed to talk about Cheng Su's current situation.
In the original plot, during the battle for the divine sword in the temple ruins, the male protagonist, while shielding the saint from the sword, was unfortunately transported to the Field of Love along with the orc priest. The Field of Love, as its name suggests, is a sacred place for the Dryads. Its most notable characteristic is that time flows a hundred times faster than in the outside world. The two worked tirelessly there for three days and three nights, and less than an hour had passed when they returned to the temple ruins.
The orc priest was conquered by the male protagonist, and the saint also felt guilty, so they both voluntarily gave the magic sword to the male protagonist.
Putting aside the utter silliness of the original plot, Cheng Su would have returned safely after waiting for forty minutes. However, 9972 was a little puzzled. It had previously assumed Cheng Su had awakened and understood the original storyline, otherwise he wouldn't have done so many things so premeditatedly. But why hadn't he avoided the teleportation trap in the coffin?
Oh yes, although he has awakened, his underlying nature is still Aquaman, and he must be very reluctant to miss this romantic encounter.
Indecent!
9972: [Baby, although we currently spend a lot of time with Cheng Su, we still need to be cautious about recognizing him as our father...]
"Zhuozhuo! I'm back!"
Before the heavy atmosphere of sadness could spread, before 9972 could utter a single word of divisiveness, a man and a spider suddenly appeared from the coffin. Cheng Su leaped out, scooped up Zhuo Zhuo, and held her up, teasing her with a smile, "Daddy's going to perform a magical resurrection for you. Hahaha, isn't that impressive!"
[……]
Less than fifteen seconds. Even in the sea of flowers, it takes no more than twenty-five minutes. The fragrance of the flowers hasn't taken effect yet. What on earth have you been doing?
Zhuozhuo, who had just started crying, stared at Cheng Su seriously. After confirming that it was this person, he hugged his neck and let out a loud cry, "Ah!"
From Zhuozhuo's emotional sobs, Cheng Su realized she was genuinely frightened. He stopped playing coquettishly and held her, patting her back gently. "Daddy's back! He's not dead or eaten. Zhuozhuo, stop crying. Check if Daddy's missing any limbs, okay?"
"Wow, okay..."
Zhuozhuo first hugged Cheng Su's arms and examined them carefully, then sobbed and leaned on his shoulders to look down at his legs. Just looking was not enough, "Cheng Su, walk for a while."
Cheng Su cooperated by walking around a long circle and even doing a few exaggerated tap dances. "You are using your legs normally, right?"
Zhuozhuo nodded.
"Then don't cry anymore?"
Zhuozhuo nodded vigorously, wiped his tears on Cheng Su's shoulder with the gesture of rolling his face on the keyboard, then looked at Cheng Su seriously for a long time, and said softly: "Don't do this again, Zhuozhuo doesn't want to be without a father."
Cheng Su was stunned. He had already prepared for Zhuo Zhuo to lose her temper, but he didn't expect her to express her dependence so insecurely. Cheng Su's heart softened, and he said seriously, "I can't guarantee that I won't encounter danger again, but as long as I'm alive, I will try my best to return to Zhuo Zhuo and prevent her from becoming a fatherless wild child."
Zhuozhuo retorted unhappily: "Zhuozhuo is not a wild child."
Cheng Su readily replied, "Yes. It was Dad who tried hard to return to Zhuozhuo, so as not to become a childless father."
“…”
Zhuozhuo felt something was wrong, but she still rubbed her face against Cheng Su affectionately, which made Cheng Su so excited that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to her.
"Ahem."
The onlookers couldn't help but interrupt the loving father and daughter, pointing at the huge spider lying motionless in the coffin, "Angus, what happened? Is Audrey still alive?"
"Then he must be alive." Cheng Su said sternly, "I'm a civilized and peace-loving father. I won't kill anyone while Zhuo Zhuo is paying attention."
"...So what happened during those few seconds you disappeared?"
Before the man and the spider vanished, Audrey was still wounded and raging. It was estimated that knocking her out would take ten minutes of beatings, but after they vanished, the spider was unconscious within seconds. Could they have encountered some danger? Cheng Su couldn't have knocked her out in just a few seconds.
This was indeed the case. But Cheng Su couldn't say it. He half-truthed that they had arrived at an unfamiliar sea of flowers, and that the fragrance might have a special effect on orcs. Audrey immediately fainted, and then they were teleported back. Cheng Su said that he was also confused and felt bewildered, but he was glad to be safe.
No one believed it and speculated that Cheng Su had had a strange encounter in just a few seconds, but given their previous friendly relationship, no one expressed their doubts or speculations and tacitly agreed with his statement.
The orcs were completely wiped out. After thanking Cheng Su, Caroline ordered people to put the surviving orcs together. She cast a large-scale memory-erasing spell to erase their memories of entering the temple ruins.
As for Audrey, Caroline's magic could not completely erase her memory, so she chose to wake her up, then negotiate and sign a contract, prohibiting Audrey from revealing the news of the sword.
Audrey glanced at Cheng Su with trepidation, her expression changing slightly as she passed Zhuozhuo. Ultimately, she didn't object and signed the contract with full cooperation. After signing, she glanced at Zhuozhuo again, seeming to want to say something, but then stopped herself. Finally, she silently went back to check on the tribe members.
The magic sword was still hanging high above the coffin. Caroline and Cheng Su looked at each other and silently confirmed that Zhuozhuo should take the magic sword down himself.
However, the little guy is not tall enough.
Master Cheng took the initiative to suggest that Zhuozhuo ride on his neck, and then he would stand on the coffin, so the height would be about the same.
Zhuozhuo: "No, Zhuozhuo will fly by himself."
Cheng Su was unwilling to give up. "Zhuozhuo really doesn't want to ride a big horse?"
The little guy didn't say anything. Two big fiery red wings spread out from behind him, and with a light flap, he took her to the side of the magic sword.
Sensing someone approaching, the sword blazed with dazzling light, attempting to repel the oncoming attacker, appearing sacred and inviolable. Caroline and Cheng Su, below, looked worried, ready to protect Zhuo Zhuo if she was attacked. Zhuo Zhuo, unaware of the danger, said, "This light isn't as bright as Zhuo Zhuo's."
The small balls of light rubbed out can blind people's eyes.
The sword was enraged upon hearing this, and the light on it flickered violently as if breathing, and the light surged -
Zhuozhuo ignored the light, and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword with his little hand. Then he folded his wings and fell rapidly, and was safely caught by Cheng Su.
Excalibur: “…”
"Cheng Su, Sister Kaka, Zhuozhuo got it."
"Zhuozhuo is awesome."
The two took turns praising it, carefully examining the sword. They felt that the frequency of its flashes was a bit frantic. It was so spiritual, it was clear that the sword already had a sword spirit.
To coldly destroy an independent being?
Caroline hesitated for a moment, then hugged Zhuozhuo away from everyone and whispered to her, "Zhuozhuo, there's no rush to destroy the sword. You must first ensure your own safety. If you encounter danger, you can also use the sword to protect yourself."
She whispered a magic spell and asked Zhuozhuo to memorize it. "This is a spell of transformation. It can only change the appearance, but not the essence. This way, you won't have to worry about others recognizing the sword. Try it yourself when no one is around."
However, Zhuozhuo's hands were extremely fast. Almost at the moment Caroline finished speaking, the sword in her hand turned into a sturdy calf.
The calf shook its head at Zhuozhuo and ran away kicking its legs.
Caroline immediately used magic to freeze it in place and looked at Zhuozhuo in surprise, "You used the Transformation Spell? Why did you turn it into a cow?"
"Maybe it's because Zhuo Zhuo wants to eat beef?"
Zhuozhuo was innocent. She was just trying out the spell and hadn't even decided what to turn the magic sword into, so how did it turn into a cow?
[The spell must have read your subconscious, and you thought of a cow in that moment. But I didn't expect the sword to become alive and act like a real thing. Baby, you can turn it into a horse to carry you, a bird to fly, or a wolfhound to guard the house.]
Zhuozhuo didn't understand 9972's train of thought and said childishly, "Everyone carries Zhuozhuo on their backs. Zhuozhuo can fly by himself. Zhuozhuo has no home and no one needs a doorman."
The previous host of 9972 had been bullied by this sword too many times, and couldn't bear to see it suffer, so he secretly said: "It doesn't matter if it turns into something else, baby, don't let it sit idle."
Zhuozhuo was puzzled by 9972's persistence, and without any guidance, he learned a perfunctory way to deal with it. "Let me take a look."
[Okay.]
Caroline transformed the calf back into the sword and handed it to Zhuozhuo. Seeing that she was having trouble, she simply put it on the ground and taught her a spell. "This is the magic that controls the sword. If it doesn't obey, don't be polite to it. But, Zhuozhuo, you have to promise me not to tell anyone else, including Angus, okay?"
"good."
Although Zhuozhuo talks very fast, she won't reveal a single word of what others have clearly told her not to tell anyone, and her mouth is tighter than glue.
After dealing with these things, Caroline was about to return to the Vatican to report her encounter with the devil, so she said goodbye to Zhuozhuo reluctantly.
Zhuozhuo said childishly, "Sister Kaka, don't be sad. Zhuozhuo often comes to play with you."
"Thank you, Zhuozhuo." Caroline was very moved but refused. "It's not convenient where I am. There are a lot of strangers and bad people there. You can't run over there by yourself. I miss you and will come out to find you."
"Okay." Zhuozhuo used his clever little brain to contribute to the cause of maintaining their friendship. He said softly, "Zhuozhuo and Cheng Su have no home now, so it's hard to find them. Sister Kaka, cast a tracking magic circle on Zhuozhuo."
Caroline, who just wanted to leave contact information with each other: "..."
In the end, they left each other with tracking magic circles.
Before leaving, Caroline glanced back at Cheng Su, who was half-kneeling on the ground, arguing helplessly and dotingly with Zhuo Zhuo. Caroline was momentarily lost in thought, as if she saw her younger self also under the protection of a gentle and strong father.
In the moment before the figure disappeared, Caroline's expression was relieved.
[Baby, stop arguing with Cheng Su. I saw Caroline's eyes. I swear, Caroline...]
"What happened to Sister Kaka?"
[Uh, it has nothing to do with the baby, let’s not ask.]
What happened? Caroline's newly emerged feelings disappeared, and the last time she looked at Cheng Su, she looked as if she was looking at a stone! Cheng Su's CP has lost another one!
But the plot has already collapsed beyond recognition, so it doesn't matter.
Zhuozhuo ignored 9972's madness and shouted loudly, "I'm going to leave the tracking magic circle. You're afraid that Sister Kaka will hurt you, but I'm not. Go away and don't come with me. Coward!"
Cheng Su was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. This heartless little guy was going to abandon his old father for Sister Kaka! But the little guy was very stubborn and would not give in to soft or hard words. He was only afraid of being humiliated. So Cheng Su lay on the ground and shouted to the sky, "I just said one thing, and you want to drive me away! Fine, I won't follow you. I'm waiting to die here!"
As he said this, he held on to Zhuozhuo's skirt tightly to prevent the little girl from running away.
shining:"……"
The little girl glanced at the orc priest who was silently moving his people into the teleportation array, and her face instantly flushed. She tried to pry Cheng Su's hands apart, but couldn't. She then held Cheng Su's hands and tried to pull him up, but unfortunately, she couldn't lift an adult weighing over 100 pounds.
Cheng Su was feeling proud and was about to shout a few more words and make some requests when he saw Zhuozhuo muttering something and changing gestures with his little hands, as if he was looking for the right magic to stand him up from the ground.
Cheng Su, twisted and turned under the influence of the magic, made a fool of himself and immediately stopped making trouble. Before Zhuo Zhuo found the magic t he wanted, he quickly said, "As long as you stop being mean to me for others, I will get up."
I’m afraid that if it’s too late, I won’t have the chance to fight for even this little benefit.
Zhuozhuo wanted to crawl into the crack in the ground but he was very calm. He quickly got out of his panic and stopped trying to pull Cheng Su up.
With a swish, Zhuozhuo cast a spell, enveloping both of them in a magic barrier that blocked their vision.
With another swipe, Zhuozhuo cast a spell, adding sound insulation to the barrier.
Okay, the little guy breathed a sigh of relief and could watch Cheng Su's performance calmly.
Cheng Su: “…”
He hates magic!
Cheng Su decisively gave up all his tricks and calmly communicated with Zhuo Zhuo, "Zhuo Zhuo, we need to understand each other. I know you like Caroline and want to communicate with her more, so I left the tracking magic circle, but I am an adult, and I have to consider our safety. Caroline won't harm you, but if someone else finds this tracking magic circle and harms you, that would be terrible, wouldn't it?"
Zhuozhuo nodded.
"If Caroline knew that someone had harmed you through her tracking magic circle, she would be heartbroken and blame herself, and she would never be able to live a happy life, right?"
Zhuozhuo nodded again.
"So, we need to take some safety measures—add a cloaking spell to this tracking magic circle to temporarily disable it. When we need it, we can remove the cloaking spell and locate Caroline and me. Doesn't that give us both convenience and safety?"
"Yes." Zhuozhuo thought about it seriously, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and praised, "Cheng Su is smart."
Cheng Su smiled. The baby was like a little angel when he was reasoning.
