Chapter 6 (revised)
After Zhu Fu was reborn, she had a full night's sleep for the first time.
He dreamed of many things, including his past life, present life, the fathers who loved him, and the fathers who died tragically.
Childhood. Past. Present.
On the altar piled with gold and silver, Zhu Xiyuan, who was the son of God but gave birth to an evil god, volunteered to be a sacrifice in order to protect his cub and was tied to the execution rack.
Si Yin resigned from his position as the leader of the Paladins, abandoned everything, and was willing to go with him.
Zhu Fu wrapped herself in a cloak, hiding in the bustling crowd below the stage, and was squeezed and staggered.
He had not yet grown into an omnipotent evil god, but was just a young child. No one paid any attention to him no matter how he called out.
People's eyes flashed with strange excitement and they raised their torches.
Crimson dyed his vision, and he cried out at the top of his lungs.
Daddy... Daddy!!
don't want--
At the last second before drowning, he was rescued from the suffocating dream.
The child suddenly opened his eyes and found that his father was not burned by the fire and was not dead. He was standing in front of him in good health, young and handsome.
Si Yin patted his back gently: "Good boy, are you having a nightmare?"
Zhu Fu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She hugged her father's neck, resting her chin on his shoulder, and quietly recovered her heartbeat like a drum, without saying a word.
After finally recovering, Si Yin carried him out of the children's room.
Zhu Xiyuan was actually sleeping in the big bed at this time, which was very strange considering his mother's regular sleep schedule.
"Mom..." Fu Fu looked at Si Yin in confusion.
"Shh, he's a little tired, don't disturb him, I'll take you out for a walk, okay?"
Are you tired?
Why?
What did your mother do when you were asleep?
Although there were still many questions in her little head, Fu Fu was a considerate and good baby who cared about her mother after all, so her father held her hand and took her out.
This ship, which can accommodate 3,000 people, can only be considered medium-sized. After all, Saint Helier itself is a very small planet.
The starship has a total of four floors. The underground floor and part of the first floor are driving and various functional areas. The third floor where they are is a VIP box. Half of the second floor is an ordinary box, and the other half and the rest of the first floor are public areas.
It takes 76 hours, or more than three days, to travel from Saint Helier to the mother planet.
It was just a blink of an eye in the long life of the evil god, but for the human cub, it was enough to be a memorable journey.
Fu Fu was obediently held by Si Yin's hand, and saw a lot of new things along the way. As an evil god originally from the earth, he found everything in the space age interesting.
Not to mention the aliens with various appearances, the various facilities floating under the dim lights are enough to attract children's attention.
Zhu Fu looked up as she walked, it was the first time she wanted to grow taller so much.
After twelve hours of sailing, it was already night in the St. Helier time zone. The cabin lights were dimmed to accommodate those who wanted to rest.
In the center of the first floor, there is a holographic projection screen that shows the current location of the civilian starship they are on.
Zhu Fu stood near the projection, studying the map.
Combined with what he had heard from his fathers and others, he roughly understood that the universe was divided into four quadrants, and they were about to fly from the Beta Quadrant in the upper left corner of the map to the Alpha Quadrant in the upper right corner.
The "Mother Planet" that the fathers called was their final destination, shining at the center of the Alpha Quadrant.
It appears as an extremely soft, smoky blue on the three-dimensional map.
The name "Mother Star" is not wrong. It is indeed like a mother's smiling eyes, with infinite tolerance that can give birth to thousands of living beings.
Zhu Fu was not sure whether this beautiful, glittering planet was the same one he once lived on.
Considering that during the hundreds of years when he was alive, while human technology advanced rapidly, it also caused irreparable pollution to the environment, perhaps before entering the interstellar age, the planet called Earth had already declined.
Si Yin told his son that the mother planet was not their final destination.
After arriving at the largest transportation hub in the Alpha Quadrant, they had to change to another ship and go to Bach II in the eastern region of their home planet - their grandparents' home.
Likewise, it is where Zhu Xiyuan was born and grew up.
*
Three days later, at the Bach II star dock.
From the starship to the shuttle, Fuzi didn't walk by herself. She slept all the way while hugging her father's neck. Her cheeks were pressed flat on Si Yin's shoulder, and she looked like she came out of an animation. Many people secretly used their wrist cameras to take pictures of this super cute child along the way.
It was not until she got off the shuttle and left the arrival hall that Zhu Fu was awakened by a scream.
"Fubao!"
"Fubao!!"
"Fubao!!!"
Each sound is louder than the last.
The boy opened his eyes blankly and looked at the person in front of him blankly.
The person in front of me?
A pure white Samoyed was coming over to sniff him, and its tongue was about to lick him.
Zhu Fu woke up with a start.
Mom, the dog can talk!!!
As a cat-themed evil god, Zhu Fu was both annoyed and afraid of dogs. Suddenly, a big dog pounced in front of her and sniffed her all over. She was so scared that she hugged Si Yin's neck tightly, with the cat ears almost sticking to her head and the tail hair standing on end.
Although the child's grip wasn't strong, it was still quite uncomfortable. Si Yin held him and quickly stepped back: "Alright, alright, hold back. I don't want to die from my son's strangulation."
The Samoyed stuck out his tongue and transformed into a beautiful girl in a white dress: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to. I was just too excited to see Fubao..."
"...What did you call me?"
"Sister-in-law." The girl helped them with their luggage attentively. "I'll do it, I'll do it!"
"It's like this, Xiao Ling, you may have some misunderstandings about the relationship between your brother and me. Actually, I—"
Before Si Yin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Xiyuan, who took the child from his arms and said, "Xiao Ling, take the small box."
"Okay, bro!"
Zhu Xiaoling took the box, his eyes still fixed on the cub, his eyes filled with the desire of a big dog to be close to humans: "When can I hug Fubao?"
"Wait until he's no longer afraid of you." Zhu Xiyuan asked, "Where is the car parked?"
"Just get out there and line up. I'll have it drive over."
Fu Fu leaned in her mother's arms, trembling with fear. She really didn't know how the dog suddenly turned into a living person.
She calls Zhu Xiyuan brother, so she is his... aunt?
It turns out that he has an aunt in this world?
In their previous lives, both Si Yin and Zhu Xiyuan were raised by the Presbyterian Church. The Paladins and the Divine Servant all grew up in this way.
It can be said that I have no relatives, but it can also be said that family members are everywhere.
Of course, for Zhu Fu, his family only has two fathers.
No, that's not the point.
The point is, there are no superpowers here, so why can Samoyeds turn into humans?
In order to block Zhu Xiaoling's overly enthusiastic gaze, Zhu Fu kept her little face buried in her mother's shoulder.
At this time, I carefully raised my face and looked around——
He was stunned.
There are all kinds of animals on the streets, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and each of them walks upright like a human being, and switches from animal form to human form from time to time.
The scene where a fish stands with its tail fin pointed and says to a chicken, "I want to buy a hamburger" is really too exciting.
The newly arrived evil god was dumbfounded.
This world... is so strange!
He had just been reborn a few days ago, and the number of humans in the Beta Quadrant was very small. In Saint Helier, Zhu Fu had never seen a fourth person except the three of them.
When he returned to the Alpha Quadrant, he discovered that humans were not the same as he remembered.
Fu Fu moved her cat ears, very confused.
They lined up on the roadside waiting for the flying car to return automatically from the parking lot. Fu Fu observed everyone carefully. It seemed that as long as they were human, they could turn into an animal. Some were familiar to him, while others he had never seen before.
He moved his cat ears again.
It turns out that humans in the interstellar age have already merged with animals...?
So my cat ears and tail aren't unique? They're normal?
Do fathers also have another animal form?
However, he soon discovered something wrong: although everyone had two forms, those people could switch between them freely, and did not retain any animal characteristics after returning to human form.
But he could not retract his ears and tail, which belonged to Minute Cat.
Zhu Fu sat in the stroller, her little face flushed red, her ears and tail motionless, as if they were born on her body.
Why...why couldn't he put it away?
The fathers were all replying to messages. Only the idle Zhu Xiaoling noticed his efforts. She squatted down, poked his cheek with her finger, and said with a smile, "Hello, Fubao. I'm sorry, I was too reckless just now. Did I scare you?"
Fuzi stared at her cautiously.
Zhu Xiaoling's smile suddenly turned a little sad: "You've grown up so much, but this is the first time I see you..."
Fuzi blinked.
His intelligence hasn't regressed to that of a three-year-old, and he is rapidly piecing together the fragmented information he has collected over the past few days.
His grandparents, Zhu Xiyuan's parents, and his aunt lived on Bach II in the Alpha Quadrant of the Human Empire, while his family of three lived on Saint Helier, an independent planet in the Beta Quadrant.
Since my aunt said she had never seen him, and my father said they had been in St. Helier for five years, it means that the fathers had never returned to the mother quadrant in these five years.
In their previous lives, Si Yin and Zhu Xiyuan had no real relatives. They both cherished the ties of family very much and would never run away from home for no reason.
A rather shocking idea popped up in the boy's little head.
Did his parents... elope for love?!
