Chapter 102
◎Si Lan, if you don't come back (Part 2)◎
This change was so sudden that Wan Rao was shocked: "Does he really want his godmother to hold him?"
Lian Jiu smiled and said, "There's a saying in the human world that if a child keeps crying, find them a godparent, and they'll behave. It seems my goddaughter and godson miss me."
Wan Rao saw her child lying quietly in the headmaster's arms, seemingly ready to fall asleep. "That's true! It seems that legends in the human world aren't necessarily false."
After coaxing Xin Chao to sleep, Lian Jiu took another child, Xin Chen, in her arms. It was the same this time. The child became extremely well-behaved as soon as he was in her arms.
The two children slept quietly in their beds. Lian Jiu took out the pearl necklaces he had prepared and tied them around their necks himself. "I personally fished these out in the South China Sea. I hope you all grow up healthy."
The Bai Xiong couple were very touched. The head teacher was really dedicated to the children.
Although we are not together usually, we will watch the live broadcast every day or send each other private messages.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have discovered so quickly that I had to take leave for the live broadcast because my child was sick.
The adults spoke in low voices for fear of disturbing the children's sleep.
Now Wan Rao could finally free up her hands to pour water for the headmaster and Si Lan Shenjun. She handed the cup to Lian Jiu with an apologetic look, "Thank you so much for helping me during the birth."
It's not just the meticulous care he receives every day, but also the director's willingness to give him a drop of blood.
Lian Jiu took the water, expressing his gratitude. "It's all in the past. Don't keep it in your heart. Otherwise, how can we get along well in the future?"
This is the truth, but since we are in person, we still need to make it clear what needs to be said.
Lian Jiu took a sip of water and said, "But I have something to ask you."
"What?"
Before speaking, Lian Jiu gave Si Lan a look, and the latter nodded to her.
It seemed like they both understood what the other meant.
In case there are eavesdroppers, Lian Jiu wanted him to pay attention, but Si Lan said he could just say it directly.
"That's right," Lian Jiu said softly, "When the children fell ill, you asked Gu Huai to come over and see them. Did she say anything?"
"Just say it's just the effects of pregnancy, nothing serious."
After they finished speaking, the couple looked at each other. Since the headmaster was already here, Wan Rao didn't want to hide it, so she added, "She also said that if it still doesn't work, it would be best to ask you to come over, because you were there when I gave birth and helped, so..."
Lian Jiu picked up where she left off: "So you think my blood bag can cure all diseases?"
"But we definitely didn't mean that!" Wan Rao and Xin Shang hurriedly stood up and explained excitedly, "That's why we wanted to keep it a secret from you."
The head teacher had already saved their lives at that time, but she was asked to get blood again and again. How could this be allowed?
Treating your child is your own responsibility, so you can only give it your best.
Lian Jiu nodded in understanding.
But in fact, Gu Huai has already informed Bai Xiong and his wife about this matter. If the child is really in danger at that time, the desperate Bai Xiong and his wife will not know what to do?
First, he would never sit idly by; second, the Bai Xiong couple would never abandon their child's life.
It's a quite complete plan.
She is very good at keeping herself out of events, and only gives other monsters a reminder at the right time. At critical moments, other monsters or demon gods always think of her first.
"It's okay, don't worry." Lian Jiu said gently, "Besides this, has there been any strange things happening in the mountains recently?"
"That's not the case."
Because all the monsters, big and small, live in the school now, everyone knows about many things as soon as they happen.
"It's just that a few animals were sent here from the human world some time ago." Wan Rao didn't know what the director wanted to hear, so she told him everything she knew. "They are all first-time mothers, so I often chat with them after I get off the air. It's also a sin that their children are gone."
Hearing this, Lian Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "They are all gone?"
"Yes." Wan Rao said, "They were almost crying during those few days. Gu Huai Shenjun gave them a few days to recuperate. A few days ago, he said that the human world had captured several animal traffickers, so he sent them away."
But when I spoke to Gu Huai on the phone, she said that the white-lipped deer sent to Kunlun Mountains had escaped from the zoo. They were not injured, but just looked a little listless.
According to Si Lan, the animals sent from the other three demon realms were because they had lost their children.
I think Gu Huai said this at the time just to dispel some of his doubts. After all, if the four animals in the demon world behaved like this at the same time, there would definitely be a problem.
Lian Jiu asked again, "Will Gu Huai often come out of the mountains?"
"I wasn't sure before, we were rarely together." Wan Rao thought carefully, "Not recently, but I did go out often some time ago because I needed to build a school and buy a lot of crops and animal seedlings."
Xin Shang was more sensitive and asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing." Lian Jiu looked relaxed. "I just want to know about the situation in Kunlun Mountain so I can think about how to develop in the future."
Xin Shang felt ashamed. "It seems we can't offer much help, because Gu Huai Shenjun rarely speaks to us. He only comes over when he needs to take care of the two children."
"Take care of the children?"
"Yes." Xin Shang nodded. "Raorao is not in good health. After returning, the God will give her medicine regularly and find some medicinal herbs suitable for the child's development."
Lian Jiu hummed.
It was getting late, so she didn't disturb the couple's rest and went back to the room with Si Lan.
At this time, she received a message from Rao Yan: "Director, I discussed the content of the movie with Director Ke and the others today, and I plan to revise our lyrics."
Lian Jiu: "Is there anything wrong with the previous lyrics?"
Rao Yan: "You haven't slept yet."
Rao Yan: "It's like this, because you are the one guiding the main plot of the film, so we decided to keep the front part unchanged and add a personal verse about you at the end."
I didn't expect this to be the reason. Since I hadn't slept yet, Lian Jiu simply called back: "Can't we just do it the same way as before? I'm actually not that important."
On the other side, Rao Yan was obviously still with Xiao Ke and the others.
These people who used to be in the entertainment industry had a completely reversed work and rest schedule. For an idea, they would often finish work during the day and have meetings in the middle of the night. It was really hard.
Rao Yan turned on the speakerphone, so Xiao Ke on the other end immediately said, "You are still very important!"
"The main thing is that we plan to use your personal image as the fade-out at the end of the film, so adding a short lyrics about you would be the best."
Even though the director has always emphasized that she is actually very ordinary and focused on other monsters.
But everyone knows that it is the director who has been running around for everyone all along the way. No matter how she is weakened in the process, her presence cannot be ignored.
I also don't want her to be ignored by everyone. No matter who sees this movie in the future, people in the demon world cannot ignore her, and even less so in the human world.
Just doing a fade-out is the best arrangement.
After all the laughter, just leave behind her back.
"We are planning the entire film." Ji Luo also said, "This is the best way. Please listen to us."
Lian Jiu asked, "So how are you going to write it?"
"Probably just write about some of your contributions."
After a moment of silence, Lian Jiu suddenly said, "Then I'll write it, okay?"
The people on the other end of the phone were stunned for a moment, then burst into ecstasy: "Great! It's naturally best if you write it! No one can replace your feelings, write from your perspective!"
If it were someone else, they might even doubt whether this person could write lyrics.
But if it were the head teacher, they knew that if she didn't have something in mind, she wouldn't say it. Once she said it, she would definitely do it, and do it well.
The matter was settled.
Lian Jiu walked to the door of his room and saw Si Lan still following him. He turned around and asked, "Do you still want to follow me into the room?"
Si Lan's ears started twitching wildly. It was all because of the mermaid couple. Now he couldn't control the mess in his mind.
"No." He stood there, "I'll wait until you fall asleep."
"It's okay." Lian Jiu glanced at the night outside. "Don't be so nervous. Have you forgotten what I told you?"
I haven't forgotten, she said she would not put herself in a dangerous situation.
Si Lan was about to find an excuse when he suddenly saw her take a step forward: "When we get back to Fuyu Mountain, I'll tell you if you can give it a try."
What?
But hadn't she already refused before?
Si Lan blinked. His newly awakened brain was not yet able to digest this problem.
But Lian Jiu didn't give him a chance and went straight back to his room and closed the door.
Knowing that he couldn't get in after all, and worried that she would discover him standing here, Si Lan had to go back to the next room.
I turned on the night light as usual and sat motionless in front of the window.
It wasn't that he had to go in, but he didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone at this time, even at night.
So he pricked up his ears and listened to the movements around him all the time.
Lian Jiu didn't go to bed immediately after returning to the room. Although she kept comforting everyone, she was actually a little nervous.
No matter what, this is the first time I have experienced this kind of thing.
She had never imagined that her ordinary life would undergo such great changes, that she would be transported to a strange world, meet so many demon gods, and even be plotted against by one of them.
Since he couldn't sleep, Lian Jiu started looking for things to do.
Re-write the lyrics. The first part is good, but the last fade-out part...
She actually had something she wanted to say in her heart, so she took this opportunity to write it down.
She took out the pen she carried with her and began to write and draw on the paper.
I spent the whole night almost sleeplessly, and the next day I sent the finished manuscript to Rao Yan.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he heard the door next door open. When the two pairs of eyes met, they saw the dark circles under each other's eyes.
Lian Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why don't you sleep?"
Si Lan asked back: "Why don't you sleep?"
He did not hide the fact that he had been listening to her movements.
Lian Jiu could also guess that with Si Lan's personality, he might not really get a good night's sleep during these days in Kunlun Mountain. Fortunately, he was a demon god.
"I changed the lyrics of the movie theme song last night." Lian Jiu didn't hide it from him. After all, he could hear but not see.
Si Lan didn't know what to say for a moment.
He's quite bold, even thinking about changing the lyrics at this time.
But that's okay, at least she really looks at it in a positive way.
There is not a single human being on this side of Kunlun Mountain, and the monsters have only lived together for a short time. They are still in the learning stage and have not progressed as fast as the monsters in other monster realms.
When Lian Jiu went downstairs, he saw Gu Huai cooking breakfast for all the monsters.
"Director, Si Lan." Gu Huai called them as they left. "Breakfast is ready. It's made according to human customs. Please have some."
The other monsters stood up one after another.
The little monsters didn't understand what was going on, but were pulled up by their parents and stood there awkwardly.
The study during this period allowed the big monsters to get to know the headmaster. They didn’t expect that she would appear here when they woke up.
The monsters looked at their own rustic appearance and then looked at the director who was clean and gentle, like a god, and they always felt a little embarrassed.
Lian Jiu walked over and said softly, "Everyone, please sit down."
Hearing the director's words, the big monsters shouted in unison: "Hello, Director! Hello, Lord Si Lan!"
This shouldn't bring any monsters to Kunlun Mountain, right?
"Good morning, everyone." Lian Jiu walked over and naturally leaned over to touch the face of one of the little monsters. "How cute."
The little monster's face immediately turned red.
She recognized this beautiful teacher, the one on TV who often hung out with other little demons from the demon world!
The little monster said in a baby voice: "Teacher Jiujiu."
Lian Jiu looked at the little tentacles on her head and asked curiously, "What kind of little monster are you? What's your name?"
The little monster gently waved his hands and said, "I am a butterfly spirit, my name is Gao Xiaodie."
It turns out that there are butterflies in this environment.
"That's great." Lian Jiu smiled, "It's most beautiful to emerge from a cocoon and become a butterfly. Can the teacher sit at the same table with you and have breakfast?"
Gao Xiaodie nodded happily: "Okay!"
The other big monsters had been watching Lian Jiu's actions carefully. When they saw her naturally sit with the child as soon as she arrived, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn't as distant as I had imagined. When I looked at the principal up close, I realized she was so gentle.
Lian Jiu looked up and said, "Everyone, please sit down. It's cold and breakfast will get cold soon."
All the monsters then sat down.
The breakfast on the table is indeed the same as that of humans, and the taste is the same. The ingredients should be crops grown in Fuyu Mountain.
She looked at Gu Huai who was sitting at the other end of the table: "Did you do all this?"
"Right!" Before Gu Huai could say anything, the monster sitting next to her spoke up, "We don't know how to cook, so after we moved in, it's been Goddess Gu Huai who makes us three meals a day. Now there are monsters learning from her, slowly reducing her burden."
Lian Jiu Ran said: "You have to take care of the monsters every day and visit the breeding base. You are very hard-working."
Gu Huai shook his head slightly: "It's all as I should."
Lian Jiu took a sip of porridge and said, "You're too busy to handle it yourself. I asked An An to interview the teachers and some staff over there. When they come over, it will lighten your burden a bit."
Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and looked up: "Director, do you mean the second method?"
Her original suggestion was to first recruit teachers from other demon realms, and second to recruit humans.
But the first one is obviously better, because humans may not be able to adapt well to the environment here.
"Yeah." Lian Jiu nodded. "It's not just about teaching, but also about how everyone gets along. We can get familiar with each other in advance."
Gu Huai lowered his head slightly and hummed, "Okay."
After breakfast, the big monsters all went to their respective production bases. Wan Rao was busy taking care of the children these days, so the little monsters didn’t have to go to class and just played in the school.
Because the recruited teacher has not arrived yet, and Lian Jiu himself cannot teach so many monster classes, he has put the matter of school opening aside for the time being and plans to go and see the things grown in Kunlun Mountain first.
"Several batches have been planted." Sitting on the painted horse, Gu Huai looked out the window and slowly introduced, "Don't other demon realms also make peripheral products? They have never stopped."
The planting area is on the grassland, not as rugged as the snow-capped mountains. Lian Jiu looked around and said, "You can take care of this place by yourself. It seems that you have accumulated a lot of experience."
Gu Huai smiled slightly: "They are just some simple jobs."
Lian Jiu raised his eyes and sighed softly, "Usually the hardest tasks are the simple ones, which require more careful attention."
"I'm not as meticulous as the headmaster." Gu Huai turned around and said, "I just followed your advice and did a small thing, but you have managed all four demon realms in perfect order."
As they went back and forth, it seemed like they were praising each other.
Lian Jiu had no intention of continuing to flatter her, so he didn't say anything more.
Soon the painted horse stopped, and Lian Jiu got off the car to look at all the planting environments. Sure enough, every place was meticulously maintained, and the division of labor among the monsters was also very clear. Every monster was very hardworking and never lazy.
When he saw Lian Jiu coming, he just looked up and greeted him before continuing with his own business.
Gu Huai and Si Lan stood on either side of Lian Jiu.
Suddenly, Gu Huai picked a cotton flower in front of him and handed it to Lian Jiu: "Director, what do you think of the people at Kunlun Mountain?"
Lian Jiu took the cotton flower and tore off the leaves next to it, revealing a bud that was larger than ordinary cotton in the human world. He nodded and said, "They are all good."
"I think it's great too." Gu Huai said, "So I've always thought that maybe sometimes we monsters can do these things ourselves."
Hearing this, Lian Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't want humans to come in."
"That's right." Gu Huai was surprisingly frank. "Director, I'm sure you still remember what I told you before. I actually don't like humans very much. There should be a clear boundary between monsters and monsters, and between humans and humans."
Lian Jiu subconsciously glanced at Si Lan, but seeing no unusual reaction from him, he calmly replied, "Then perhaps you shouldn't have agreed to the demon gods' choice to sign those contracts with humans."
"So I've always been conflicted." Gu Huai lifted his straw hat a little higher and looked into the distance. "I can't bear to see them suffer, but I can't like humans either."
Lian Jiu asked, "So?"
"I've always thought the principal is very smart, so I wanted to ask him what he thinks."
"I can't really see it." Lian Jiu said calmly, "I'm also a human being."
Hearing this, Gu Huai chuckled and asked, "Then why is the director so reluctant to help us monsters?"
"As a human, I don't hate monsters." Lian Jiu took out the cotton bit by bit and put it in his palm. "Does it mean that as a human, I have to choose one side?"
"I hate those who are selfish and break the law for the sake of profit." Lian Jiu pinched the cotton, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it back into the ground. "Similarly, I also hate monsters like this. There is no contradiction."
Gu Huai looked at the discarded cotton and smiled: "That makes sense."
"Director, do you want to take another look? Or do you want to come back with me?" Gu Huai glanced at the time. "It's time to go back and make lunch for everyone."
She seemed to be constantly busy. She rushed to the base for breakfast last night, and soon had to rush back to make lunch. Even with a few monsters helping her, she was always running around. Lian Jiu sometimes really couldn't understand her: "Don't you get tired of doing this all the time?"
"It's okay." Gu Huai said, "Thinking it's for the demon world, I can do it. It will be fine in the future."
"Then you go back first." Lian Jiu had no intention of helping her. "Si Lan and I will be back later."
"good."
In the past, no matter which demon world she was in, Lian Jiu would go to help, and she would even do things herself that other demon gods would not do.
Before, when Bai Xiong and his wife were recuperating in Fuyu Mountain, she was responsible for feeding the demon gods.
She was the one who did it for a while when I went to Nanyu Mountain.
But now, facing Gu Huai, Lian Jiu couldn't even muster up such thoughts, even though he knew she was doing it for all the monsters.
After Gu Huai left, Lian Jiu and Si Lan wandered around the base, checking out other places. As they walked, they said, "She's testing me."
"Um."
"Could it be that she wants to plot against me because I hired a teacher from the human world?" Lian Jiu guessed, "Perhaps she doesn't want me to interfere in the affairs of the demon world."
"No." Si Lan denied this view. "Before you hired a teacher, she had already distributed the medicine to the people in the human world."
Lian Jiu reacted: Those two human traffickers.
At that time, the teachers had not yet officially started work, and administering medicine would take some time, so how could Gu Huai predict the future?
Lian Jiu frowned: "Those children..."
Si Lan glanced around, his gaze settling on the endless snow-capped mountains in the distance. "Kunlun Mountain is the largest demon realm. There are many places where no demons can survive. Hiding people there would be a simple matter."
In the past, Lian Jiu thought that those children were sold to human traffickers, but now he thinks that if Gu Huai had done this a long time ago.
So how long did she hide the children?
"They want children and baby animals, and they want me too." Lian Jiu was at a loss for words. "What's the point?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Lan seemed to have a nerve touched and suddenly woke up.
"Si Lan?"
Before she turned around, Si Lan had already controlled his expression. His fingertips moved, and his voice was inaudible: "I still have no idea. Let's go back first."
After returning to the kindergarten and having lunch, Lian Jiu went to see the little white bear again.
The two little guys seemed to be in much better shape today than they were the night before, probably because they had a good sleep.
After staying up all night last night and walking a lot today, Lian Jiu felt a little sleepy, so he simply took a short nap in Bai Xiong's room.
After a while, Si Lan came over.
The couple was about to speak, but Si Lan put his finger to his lips to signal them to be quiet.
Then they saw the God Lord walk to the headmaster, take out a small blanket and cover her with it, then tap her between the eyebrows and turn around and say, "You two stay in the room today, don't go anywhere, stay with her."
Although they didn't understand why, the couple nodded.
After a pause, Si Lan continued, "No matter if it's a demon god or a demon, don't let them in. No one will dare to force their way in."
It seemed like something big was about to happen. The Bai Xiong couple immediately perked up: "Don't worry, we won't let anyone in."
After getting the guarantee, Si Lan looked back at Lian Jiu, then turned and left.
He reached the top of the highest snow-capped mountain, transformed into his original form, with one ear raised and one lowered, and released his spiritual sense to search the entire Kunlun Mountain for any traces of humans or animals.
Finally, in one of the caves, they found many children and animals that were imprisoned there.
Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang.
When I looked over, it turned out to be Ke Yuansi calling. Why would this person call me for no reason?
Si Lan frowned, but still picked up the phone.
"Lord Si Lan! Can you please contact the headmaster? We received the lyrics she sent us today and made some annotations that we don't understand. We'd like to discuss this with her."
She should still be sleeping soundly at this moment. Si Lan said, "Send it to me first, I'll give it to her later."
"Okay, okay."
Soon he received the lyrics sent by Ke Yuansi on his mobile phone.
Si Lan had no intention of reading these things, but just clicked on them accidentally, but his eyes suddenly stopped at one of the lines.
His pupils suddenly condensed and his whole body felt cold.
At the same time, a familiar voice sounded in his consciousness which he had not yet withdrawn.
"Si Lan." Lian Jiu didn't know when she woke up. She must have known she was listening, and her tone was very calm. "If you don't come back, I'll go find Gu Huai now."
