City of Chaos 06 (bug hunting, changed "whole clan" to "whole family")
Every time Asulin woke up from his deep sleep, he would go out and show his face. One was to deter others, and the other was to purge the Chaos City from those spies who were infiltrated by foreign races or those who had ulterior motives within his own tribe.
He walked around the City of Chaos and summoned the Mi Lisai in the city to gather around the sacrificial light column.
The sacrificial light column is a two-story circular platform with a diameter of ninety-nine meters. Each floor is three meters high and is engraved with complex and ancient characters of the Mi people. It is located at the northernmost part of the City of Chaos and is built on the edge of the abyss.
Even in places where weeds don't grow, the wind is still biting and cold.
Asulin stood at the top, flicked his robe, and looked down at the people who were bowing to him with his hands behind his back.
At this time, the sacrificial light column was in a half-open state, slowly consuming Asulin's power.
Jie Ling was below, took out a list and read out the names slowly. Every time he read out a name, Asulin killed that person.
The long silver tail exuded a deadly chill, a dark light flashed through the air, and the smell of blood gradually filled the air.
This was a one-sided massacre.
The sacrificial light pillar will absorb their blood into the earth veins, allowing the tribe to give birth to more talented offspring.
Asulin didn't like the unpleasant screams and harsh environment, but the powerful strength and life threats were an excellent way to suppress any movement, so every time he woke up, he would carry out this kind of purge-like massacre.
He would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If the person he wanted to kill was indeed wrongly accused, then the sacrificial light pillar under his feet would sense it.
He certainly wouldn't shake the foundations of the Chaos City. Such a high-profile purge would only target the middle and lower-level corrupt officials. Jie Ling and Ning Lie were keeping an eye on the higher-ups, and if the left and right inspectors showed signs of disloyalty, Si Mao would silently eliminate them without him having to intervene.
I believe that after today's news spreads, the foreign tribes hostile to Mili Sai will be much more restrained.
It was already night in the blink of an eye after all this was done. Asulin left Jie Ling to deal with the aftermath while he returned to the Central Royal City, intending to stay up all night to deal with some accumulated documents.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Nenglie appeared, knelt on one knee and said, "Chief."
The corners of Asulin's clothes still carried the lingering smell of blood from the daytime, and the faintly surging aura on his body showed that the murderous intent aroused by the blood had not completely subsided.
He walked in and glanced at the bed, where a sleeping cub was.
Asulin frowned.
Ning Lie repeated what Doctor Wei had said: "Doctor Wei said that letting the young master sleep with you will help the secretion of soothing hormones. Even if it's only for one night, I should fulfill my responsibilities as a father."
If a Mi cub is separated from its biological parents, it will suffer from a lack of soothing hormones, which will affect its strength when it grows up. Therefore, if a person is capable of raising a cub but lets other Mi people raise it for him/her, he/she will be despised.
This is an irresponsible and shameless act that lowers the fighting power of the entire ethnic group.
A Sulin was silent for two seconds, then waved his hand: "I understand, you can go down."
Fierce: "Yes."
Before he left, he looked back at the child, lowered his head and closed the door. He stood at the door for a long time, then raised his hand to set up a barrier.
Just as he set up the barrier, Xie Ling's cold voice came from behind him: "Inspector Zuo."
He turned around fiercely.
Jie Ling: "This barrier can block the blood breath. What do you want to do?"
He grinned fiercely: "You know it, why are you asking?"
The Mi clan, once the blood purity reaches the level of royal blood, can absorb the blood of their own clan to replenish the body, which may be able to alleviate the sleeping syndrome. This method is best for those with close blood ties, so he has been looking for a suitable blood source in the prison for criminal slaves.
Isolating the blood breath is, of course, to make it easier for the leader to collect blood.
Is there anyone with a more suitable bloodline than the young master now?
If the young master had not been chosen by the sacrificial light pillar, he would have suggested this to the leader long ago.
"The leader has just entered. All choices are up to him, not you or me. Don't forget, the leader is the one who controls this city."
Jie Ling walked in expressionlessly, with a bulge on his back, and tentacles extended along his arms and out of his sleeves.
"Young Master is still too young. Foreign tribes are eyeing the Yuanhan Mithril Mine in our Chaos City. If the leader falls asleep for more than a year again, the Red Horse Clan will definitely look for an opportunity to attack. How many foreign tribes who infiltrated were killed at the sacrificial light column today? Jie Ling, you were with the leader and saw it with your own eyes, so you should know better than me, right?"
Jie Ling stopped.
Nianlie spoke in a low voice, looking at Jie Ling's back.
"The young master has been fiddling with scissors, white rags, flint, and incense sticks all afternoon. He doesn't understand anything and is just a cub who loves to play with toys."
"With such a young young master, can you and I protect the territory of Chaos City from any harm? We can have another young master, but the only one who can use the power of the sacrificial light pillar to protect the tribe from the harm of war is the current leader Asulin, who is recognized by it!"
"Jie Ling, aren't you the one who least wants to see war?"
The tentacles pressed against his wrist shrank slightly, and Jie Ling remained silent for a long time.
After about two or three minutes, he stretched out his tentacles and moved a little outside the barrier, and the barrier disintegrated.
His fierce palms clenched tightly.
"you--"
Jie Ling didn't go in. Instead, she sat at the door, took out a handkerchief from her suit pocket, took off her glasses and wiped them.
Seeing that he was so abnormally calm, Ninglie suddenly felt uneasy.
"Are you okay?"
"I, the bastard you're talking about, have Lanhuadis blood in my body. Protecting my young is an instinct in my genes," Jie Ling said suddenly. "If you hadn't mentioned sacrificing my young in this situation, I would have chopped you off piece by piece and devoured you alive."
His sharp eyes were as sharp as a knife without the lenses covering them. Although his tone was extremely calm, it gave Nianlie goosebumps.
He suddenly remembered the experience in his early years when he followed the underage Master Asulin to the territory of the Lanhuadis people, accidentally injured a cub, and was hunted down by their entire family.
With such crazy ethnic bloodline, Jie Ling is indeed capable of doing such a thing.
Ninglie was extremely aware that he was stepping on the minefield of Li Ling.
He also fell silent and sat on the left side of the door, waiting for the leader's choice with Jie Ling.
"I am indeed a bastard. If the leader hadn't killed the young master this time, I, Ning Lie, would have protected him wholeheartedly from now on and would never have such thoughts again."
Jie Ling didn't say anything.
The hall was dark and quiet, and even the moon rarely appeared here.
-
Ning Ren spent a long time learning about funeral arrangements from his friend in the cub discussion forum. After learning, he insisted on putting the things he would need the next morning into a basket and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already completely dark. There were only a few glowing night pearls in the bedroom. He hurriedly grabbed the bed sheet and slid down to the ground, then ran to the basket at the end of the bed. There were paper cuttings and white scraps of cloth in the basket. He was relieved after checking that nothing was missing.
This is what he asked Ninglie for, and it is almost the same as what he learned.
Soon Ning Ren covered his belly and frowned.
He wanted to pee, so he looked around and walked for a long time. After turning a corner, he suddenly saw a huge hot spring in front of him.
Asulin sensed the approaching scent of the cub, but ignored it.
He leaned against the edge of the pool with his eyes closed, the water waves hugging his smooth muscles, his long gray-blue hair swimming in the water like a snake, his deep and handsome facial features like the gods in the myths and legends of the Eastern Region, and his dangerous silver tail tapped the water surface from time to time, revealing laziness and dominance everywhere.
Soon, a discordant sound came into my ears, and there was a...
Um?
Asulin opened his eyes.
The child was peeing into the pool, wearing his chicken underwear proudly, looking down on the father in the pool.
Crash——!
There was a sudden loud noise from the pool, water splashed everywhere, Ning Ren was drenched all over his head and shrank his head.
A Sulin's face was so dark that water could drip. "What are you doing?"
The child didn't cry, but blinked and said, "Pot, pee, pee."
The Mi tribe cubs only have the ability to clean themselves after their powers are fully awakened. Ning Ren needs to go to the toilet at this stage, but there is no toilet in Asulin's palace.
Asulin just felt uncomfortable all over.
His hot spring?? Is it a urinal??
This pool can no longer be used.
Asulin grabbed the child's collar with a cold face, rinsed the child in the spring water of this pool, then carried him all the way to another new hot spring pool and threw the child in.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Ning Ren thrashed around frantically, and after struggling for a long time, he realized that he had not fallen to the bottom of the water. "Huh?"
He had a silver tail wrapped around his waist.
A Sulin half-crouched on the edge of the bathtub, watching his cub's foolish behavior expressionlessly. His tail loosened slightly. Ning Ren quickly used his hands and feet to hold his tail and float on the water. His own short and thick tail also wrapped around it and hooked it, frowning and looking up.
A Sulin glared at him and said, "If you pee in the pool again, I'll throw you in."
Ning Ren: "It will make me sick!"
A Sulin: "This is the bathing pool. There will be a place to take care of it in your own room." He put Ning Ren down and said in a deep voice, "Remember it, if you can't remember it, you will learn it under the water."
"But A Ren hasn't finished peeing yet," the child said, "I can't hold it anymore."
“…………”
The chief quickly stood up from the pool, and with the child in his tail, he instantly moved to the door of the bedroom, intending to throw him out. However, just before he pushed the door open, he saw his naked upper body and dripping hair.
The child put his legs together in a mask of pain: "I can't do it anymore, Ren is really trying too hard."
he:"………"
Asulin returned to the first hot spring, placed the child on the edge of the pool, and quickly retracted his tail in disgust, "Here."
By the time Ning Ren had finished solving the problem, he had already thought of at least ten ways to demolish and renovate the place.
He picked up the child again, rinsed his head with the water, and brought him back to the bed. Ning Ren had already gotten used to the feeling of his legs hanging in the air, so he stood very steadily when he was resting on the ground.
Asulin used his mental power to evaporate the moisture from the surface of his body and changed into a new pajamas.
Looking at the still wet cub, he waved his hand to dry Ning Ren as well, then watched indifferently as the cub crawled to the center of the bed and lay down.
In the morning, he was crying and making a fuss, saying that he had peeled off his skin. But in the evening, he was completely different. I really don’t know if it was his nature as a cub or if Dr. Wei and Nianlie knew how to coax him.
A Sulin lifted the quilt and just lay down.
"Aren is hungry."
“………”
Asulin closed his eyes.
"Aren is hungry, Aren is hungry, Aren is hungry."
A Sulin stood up suddenly: "Where's the milk?"
The child pointed to the wooden platform on which the night pearl was placed.
Dr. Wei put it there deliberately to prevent him from drinking too much.
Asulin raised his hand and handed the still warm bottle to Ning Ren, then watched him finish drinking it, put it back, and lay down again.
"I want a pat on the back."
A Sulin: “No.”
"oh."
Ning Ren scratched his head and kicked his father's ribs with his feet, "Then you move aside and ask A Ren to sleep next to the bed."
"..." His sleep was interrupted again and again, and he didn't even take a proper shower. A Sulin exhaled slowly, his gray-blue eyes dark, "If you have something to say, tell me now."
Why is this child so troublesome?
"Doctor Wei said that if Ah Ren doesn't take pictures after eating, he will vomit, so he sleeps by the bed."
Ning Ren was not able to express himself in a long sentence, and his sentences were very fragmented, but that did not prevent Asulin from understanding what he wanted to say. He suddenly turned his head and looked over, meeting the cub's innocent gaze.
“…………”
A Sulin sat up and asked, "How do we shoot?"
Ning Ren crawled out of the bed and crawled behind Asu Lin. He patted his father's back with his little hands in a mature manner and imitated the tone of Dr. Wei, "Good boy, go to sleep, good baby, go to sleep!"
Before he finished singing, he was dragged into bed. A cross appeared on Asulin's face. He pressed the child on his thigh and started patting his back.
Of course he didn't sing.
He would never sing this kind of song to comfort a child in his life.
Ning Ren's tail swung unconsciously.
The child doesn't know that this kind of intimate interaction will cause his body to automatically secrete soothing hormones to calm the anxiety he felt when he first came into this world. He doesn't understand so much, he just feels comfortable -
It feels so comfortable, even more comfortable than the feeling Dr. Wei gave him.
He subconsciously leaned his head towards Asulin, getting closer and closer, his tail curled into a small curl, and finally he was drowsy, with his delicate and tender neck resting defenselessly on Asulin's other arm.
Asulin lowered his eyes.
It’s the nature of cubs to sleep after eating.
A sleeping face, with the same hair color, tail, and facial features as his.
The warm breath of blood was just passing through the thin skin of the neck. Asulin placed his fingertips on the side of the cub's neck. He didn't feel it during the day, but now he could truly feel the breath in the child's body that was extremely similar to his own.
Warm, fresh, and a symbol of continuation.
He thought of the cruel method that might be able to relieve his sleeping sickness, but it was only a fleeting thought.
Although Asulin is not a good person, he never attacks innocent elderly, weak, women and children. If he kills one today, he can kill thousands tomorrow.
If he did so, he would not be worthy of being the leader of a protective group.
Jie Ling said that A Ren had been wandering outside for three years and had just returned to the tribe. If the child's biological father was not him, but just an ordinary Mirisai in the tribe, he would probably enjoy the meticulous care of his relatives.
Asulin put the child down and lay down himself.
He won't wake up tomorrow morning, and his breathing will stop when he falls asleep. Asulin sneered, hoping that this annoying, troublesome and sloppy kid wouldn't be scared and cry.
Of course, if he had the ability to read minds, he would understand that the child's obedience tonight, even the good temper that seemed to have let go of the skinning incident on their first meeting, had another explanation:
It's called hospice care.
At six o'clock the next morning, Ning Ren got up quietly. As soon as he touched his father, his sleepy eyes immediately widened.
Oh my god! It’s really cold!
Exactly the same thing my friends in the cub discussion area said!
His bad dad is dead!
He quickly put on his own coat—Dr. Wei's coat. Then he ran to the end of the bed, slid under the sheets, and found the basket under the bed.
Ning Ren took out two porcelain basins from the basket, put a pile of paper in the big porcelain basin, and placed the small porcelain basin next to him. He tied a white cloth on the top of his head, then rubbed the flint and threw it into the big porcelain basin.
The paper in the large porcelain basin began to smoke, and the entire bedroom looked like a temple in the clouds.
Ning Ren knelt on the ground with a thud. Because he was too short, he almost fell over on the spot. He quickly steadied himself, flicked the white handkerchief in his hand, made his little face serious, touched the ground with his tail, kowtowed and cried.
