Chapter 105: Flowing Lily of the Valley
"Wuhu! I'm back again——"
"Pah!"
He rushed out of the whirlpool, opened his arms and announced loudly with great energy.
After a while, Ming Chong didn't get any response. He opened his eyes, looked around, and scratched his head. "Uh...it seems like no one is home."
It shouldn't be!
Ming Chong sat down, facing the direction outside the cave, and fell into deep thought.
Just like turning off the lights and water when going out, well, in this case, it should be closing the doors, windows and power switches when going on a long trip. In order to avoid missing interesting things, when going to different timelines, Ming Chong will press the pause button and leave the previous time.
According to the previous summary, when he left last time, Xing Karami was at home, and Andrius was out inspecting the territory...
Thinking of this, Ming Chong held his chin with one hand, and his whole body stiffened inch by inch. No, it can't be... ?
——Didn’t I actually turn off the lights when I left last time? ! ! !
Ahhhhhh——(Funina sound effect)
"WCC!!! Xing Karami——" Ming Chong held his head and screamed in place.
Click, click. As Ming Chong twisted around randomly, he felt a strange touch on his waist, as if he was being poked.
Ming Chong waved his hands as if to shoo away a fly, and continued to twist his body in strange ways to express his tingling feeling.
Poke.
"Oh! Stop it! I'm so annoyed!" Ming Chong waved his hands and continued to freak out, "My brother is gone wcc——"
——Huh?

Ming Chong suddenly stopped and turned to look down. Xing Karami was stepping on the five-pointed star with a clicking sound, curling up two small feet that looked like hands, and looking at him with a slightly dirty little head tilted.
"Brother?" Decarabian asked hesitantly.
"..." Ming Chong's brainstorming finally hit him. When he rushed out of the vortex, he seemed to have hit something with his hand. Speaking of which, that touch was also -
Cough, cough, "Hmm." He squeezed out a single syllable through his nose.
"Ah--" Ming Chong made a sharp explosion sound.
Then he quickly picked up Carabaoth and rubbed his slightly dirty head with his sleeve.
"Brother, you, you're back!" Decarapian came to cheer you up belatedly, but he was a little dazed by the rubbing of his sleeve, as if his organs were also obstructed.
"Ahahahaha! Yes, yes!" Putting his previous thoughts behind him, Ming Chong felt relieved and wiped Dikarapian clean. Then he found some fun and rubbed the corner of his face with a human hand.
If you think about it carefully, Ming Chong is now in human form, and Xing Karami didn't recognize him, so it's normal that he didn't say anything.
Well, he was saying, how could he possibly forget such a good habit as pausing at will? If it were possible to forget, then wouldn't his previous back-and-forth be...
Ming Chong would often sit up in the middle of the night and ask himself, "Did I forget to pause?"
"I didn't expect you to recognize me so quickly. You really are my only brother!" Ming Chong praised happily.
After a while, Dekarapian hummed in a muffled voice and spoke hesitantly, "Brother, were you away for so long last time because you met so many other demon gods?"
"...Huh?" Hearing this, Ming Chong suddenly calmed down. His brain was occupied by two pieces of information for a moment. One was "left for so long" - he really didn't turn off the lights, and the other was what the word "again" meant... He didn't react for a while.
Ming Chong's expression gradually became serious as he was pinching the star kara mi in his hand, which looked like a small foot but was actually a part of his hand. He was now very panicked.
——What the hell is going on?

Decarapian felt a little disappointed as he had not received an answer for a long time. In fact, he had already noticed some clues.
When they first met, Impas had a very mixed aura about him, tainted with the scent of various powerful demonic powers.
So, at that time, Dekalabi had been dead for a long time, worried that this demon with a very mixed aura was a killer embryo, who had already eaten many demons and swallowed up their authority...
But later, after Decarapian and Impas became familiar with each other, he felt that he was overthinking it and soon forgot this guess and put this doubt behind him.
At that time, Decarapian thought that this was probably because he had encountered many demons while traveling outside after his premature birth.
"Brother...you suddenly disappeared last time. There was no trace of you in the wind. Is it because you left this world, right?" After being alone for a long time, Dekarapian thought of more possibilities than before.
"Uh... yeah." Ming Chong nodded, not knowing what to say. He didn't expect that Xing Karami could actually feel that he had met a new demon god.
Indeed, Nabu, Amon, and Egolia all count. Remus, a tyrant among humans, should also count.
I can only say that it is worthy of being a wind attribute, it is very sensitive.
When Decarapian saw him nod in agreement, he became even more dejected. Ming Chong saw that this was not a good idea, so he immediately stood up and took out the gift with a smile.
——Well, luckily I was prepared.
"By the way! Xing Karami, here, this is for you."
"...What?" Decarapian stretched out his little hand to take it sullenly.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a beautiful plant pendant.
"Ahem...long time no see. This is a gift for you. You've been in the snowfield for so long, you must not have seen many flowers, right?" Ming Chong explained eagerly, hoping to put the matter behind him as soon as possible.
The main body of the pendant is a complex braided knot, connected to a cluster of turquoise flower buds hanging down, and a tassel at the end.
——This is a Chinese knot. Ming Chong made one of the types, the [Peace Knot].
Gently touch the flower buds, they flicker and light up with soft light, then star-like points of light fall down, and the tassels tinkle.
"This is [Roudengling], a flower from the place I visited this time."
Decarapian slowly raised his head, and the whole little star emitted a blingbling light.
"Xing Karami, you already know I'm not from this world, but you don't know I'm actually human, right?" Ming Chong cleared his throat and laid it all out. "Although... uh, you're still my brother! This knot is called the Peace Knot, and it's a tradition in my family."
"It's usually given to children by their elders, parents, hoping that this "peace knot" will bless the child, bringing peace, happiness, good fortune, and prosperity..."
As he spoke, Ming Chong began to become vague and misleading. After all, he was not a professional, and it was rare for him to be able to explain so much.
Raising a child from scratch is troublesome... Ming Chong's lips trembled, but he really didn't know how to explain the meaning of "elders", "mother and father", or "peace and joy" and "good luck" to the demon god who had no tribe and no parents.
——Enough, I say enough. Stop making things difficult for me. I’m not a PhD in Chinese!!!
Fortunately, Decarapian did not ask why. He happily held up the gift and looked at it. Of course, he did not know the meaning of these words, but he knew that Impas cared about him.
The gift is beautiful, but it also has a meaning that is not quite clear and needs to be thought about and explored.
Decarapian was very happy just by seeing it. If he thought about it carefully and understood the meaning of Impas' words, he couldn't imagine how happy a little star he would be!
——This is probably what it means to be happy whether you think about it carefully or roughly.
While coaxing his only brother into a good mood, Ming Chong started chatting, "By the way, Xing Karami, have you experienced anything interesting since I left?"
Little Star was obsessed with the peace knot that would bring down meteor showers, and shook his head decisively.
"No? Are you unhappy playing with Wind House? Or did Alpha have a conflict with you?"
Little Star slowly withdrew her hand, held the peace knot in her arms, turned around with a clattering sound, and said to Ming Chong, "Because I want to wait for you to come back."
With a snap, Ming Chong felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. He once again confirmed the thought that had popped up in his mind when he faced Funina - he was indeed a piece of shit.
Dekarapian no longer had the initial reaction to Impasti's rebellious behavior. He calmly recounted his thoughts, "If my brother doesn't see me when he returns, he'll be very disappointed, just like I've been disappointed after not seeing him for so long."
Little Star shook her head, "[I'm back!] Then I said [You're back!] and hugged each other again!"
"Am I right?"
“…”

Ming Chong, Ming Chong feels even more embarrassed now.
—Shit! Why can’t I split myself? Is it illegal to leave Ah Chong here?! (Gnashing teeth)
…
…
In fact, after asking Andrius, Ming Chong confirmed that he had been away for less than two months. If time was not paused, the flow rate would be one to one.
In other words, even if he lived to see his relatives and friends - Ningguang, Hutao, Zhiyi and others die of old age at his original time point, his younger brother here would not have started the war against demons yet!
Ming Chong considered the possibility of staying by Xing Karami's side until he encountered his relatives and friends again, but he quickly dismissed it.
Although he felt embarrassed, Ming Chong never thought that anyone would want to stop living without him. It's not like the world would stop functioning.
No one is really indispensable to anyone else.
...At most, he lived a miserable life. Ming Chong thought of his previous reincarnation in Teyvat and added a little more.
However, regrets are a normal part of life. In all kinds of literary works, even if cheats are used, many people may die, which is very regrettable!
Therefore, Ming Chong was still able to accept the tragedies that had occurred in reincarnation.
——And Ming Chong has always admitted that he is a person who gets bored easily. If he stays in Xingkalami for a long time, well... he might start to go crazy soon.
In short, he will come back to visit often. I hope Xing Karami can become independent soon!
Ming Chong grinned, crawled darkly on the ground, suddenly jumped out, and pounced on Andrius, "Ahaha - surprised? Unexpected?"
"Gurgle gurgle--" Andrius was so scared that his throat rolled and sent out a threatening signal, but he was caught off guard and Ming Chong hugged his neck tightly.
"Hiahiahia! Big dog~ Long time no see! Did you miss me~" Ming Chong laughed like Niangniang Shiji.
"Awww--" Andrius's eyes went dark, and he almost tucked his tail between his legs. "Damn Impas--"
