Chapter 57
No matter how Ares and his sister prayed in their hearts, the facts would not change because of their prayers.
When the two beasts turned the corner and saw the familiar figures, one big and one small, walking on the street through the gaps between the densely packed orcs standing stiffly in front of them, their hearts were suddenly struck hard.
Ares and his sister stood on the street, not knowing what to do for a moment. They felt countless complicated things rushing into their minds, making them lose all ability to move in an instant.
When the two beasts saw Jiaojiao and the others, Jiaojiao also saw them. Her eyes curved and she ran towards them with her short legs, saying, "Ah, ah, ah, Jiaojiao, ah, Duo."
Following Jiaojiao's movements, the beastmen on the entire street, who were filled with fear and terror because they could not move, all turned their eyes over.
When their eyes fell on the Ares brother and sister, who were obviously orcs, a complex and overlapping expression of shock, anger, suspicion and doubt appeared in their eyes.
Being stared at by these gazes, Ares and his sister came to their senses and subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid their gaze in embarrassment.
In an instant, emotions such as fear, shame, and regret flooded into their brains, causing the two underage orcs to become stiff and subconsciously hold their breath.
They knew what it meant to the orcs to bring humans or any other race into the deserted city, and they also knew what would happen to them if they were discovered to have brought humans into the deserted city.
But Ares had just escaped death at that time and was filled with gratitude to Jiaojiao for saving him. Furthermore, in his eyes, Jiaojiao was just a harmless, clawless cub. He suddenly thought of bringing Jiaojiao back and hiding him, waiting for an opportunity to send him to the human boy who often trained in the wasteland.
It was not until Hesnemen's appearance last night that he finally realized how wrong he was.
Not to mention whether Hesnemen, who dared to impersonate a god, would do anything to the beastmen, just say that if Hesnemen had not appeared, if Jiaojiao, who is a human being in the beastmen tribe, were to be discovered by the beastmen, there would be a great possibility that she would not survive at the hands of these beastmen who extremely hate the human race.
By then, Ares would not be repaying a favor, but repaying kindness with hatred!
Young people always fail to think things through before doing anything. They are often deceived by their own passion and will always do things that they will regret later.
"Ah, Jiaojiao's Aduo." Jiaojiao, who was walking in front of the two beasts with her short legs, lowered her head to show them her furry ears which were very nice to touch.
Ares stood there stiffly without moving. The angry and shocked looks of his tribesmen made him feel burning all over. For a moment, he didn't know how to face Jiaojiao in front of him.
Compared to him, Arela on the side was much calmer. Although she was only seven years old, she understood many things better than her brother and was much more mature than her brother.
In the distance, orcs kept running towards us with fierce murderous intent and fighting spirit, but the moment they stepped into this street, they all stopped in strange postures with their bodies stiff.
Arela, who saw all this clearly, understood that the father of this cub named Jiaojiao was more powerful than they had imagined.
Yes, if he is not strong enough, how can he dare to roam around the beast tribe so freely? If he is not strong enough, how can he dare to pretend to be a god!
Arela's thoughts raced as he realized that these beast warriors, who had seemed invincible in their eyes, were now like ferocious beasts lying on the ground with their claws and teeth broken in front of Jiaojiao's father. They had no power to resist and could be slaughtered at will.
The Jiaojiao in front of them is the only restraint of that adult and the only life-saving straw they can grasp.
After sorting out all this, Arela tried hard to force a smile towards Jiaojiao. Her voice was trembling undisguised, but she managed to praise steadily, "It's really beautiful."
Knowing he was being praised, Jiaojiao's eyes curved with joy. He leaned his head towards Arela's hand, his small voice filled with joy: "Ah, touch."
Give me touch.
Arela, who could barely understand what he meant, looked fearfully at Hesnemen not far away. Seeing that he had no reaction, she pursed her lips, not sure what to do.
It was not until Jiaojiao tilted her little head in confusion and urged again softly that Arela dared to raise his hand tremblingly and tried to touch it very lightly.
The sense of touch seemed to have vanished from her fingertips. Arella, whose nerves were so tense that her fingers were numb, had no idea what the ears beneath her hands felt like. She simply gave a compliment based on her visual feedback: "It's beautiful. It's white and furry, very pretty."
Jiaojiao smiled happily after being praised. His dark eyes sparkled with light. He raised his little hand to touch his ears and imitated Arela's words a little haltingly: "Good, it looks good."
Arela, who was lost in thought, subconsciously agreed, "Yeah, it looks good."
Although she didn't understand, she knew it was a compliment and turned to look at her father. Her little voice was filled with happiness that she couldn't hide: "Dad, good, it looks good."
Hesniemen, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw his happy look, and said in a gentle voice: "Well, it looks good."
Arela, who was standing in front of Jiaojiao, bit her lip. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage to say to Jiaojiao, who turned around, "Jiao, Jiaojiao, I brought some delicious food. Let's go back, okay?"
"Jiaojiao, who didn't quite understand, tilted her head, with confusion in her dark and bright eyes.
Seeing this, Arela hurriedly looked up at Hesnemen who was walking towards them, then lowered his head and repeated what Jiaojiao said twice, gestured and said, and showed him the coarse grains in his arms.
Jiaojiao understood and nodded: "Okay, Huihui."
Hesnemen walked over, bent down and rubbed Jiaojiao's head, glancing at Arela.
A clever little creation!
The gods occasionally cast their gaze upon creatures that behave in a particularly different way.
"Dad." Jiaojiao raised her head and rubbed his hand, then reached out to him: "Ahh."
Hug~
Hesnemen flicked Jiaojiao's furry ears lightly with his fingers. His long golden hair fell down to cover his face as he bent down. His gentle voice was a little teasing, "Are you tired of walking and you know you want to be carried?"
When she went out just now, she refused to be carried by him and wanted to walk by herself.
Jiaojiao, who didn't understand, looked up at him blankly and moved her outstretched hands: "Daddy, ah ah."
“………” Hesnemen felt a little helpless about the fact that the little guy often didn’t understand what he said.
He held Jiaojiao in his arms and stood up, resting his chin on his furry head. A hint of indulgence appeared in his golden eyes: "I really can't do anything about you."
Jiaojiao, who was in her father's arms, waved her little hand and said, "Come back."
"Yeah, let's go back." There was a smile in Hesnemen's gentle voice as he walked towards where he came from, holding Jiaojiao.
Arela, who was standing by, took his brother's hand and followed closely behind them.
On this street, on the houses in the distance, there were countless gazes, both visible and invisible, which made Ares and his sister feel great pressure.
On the contrary, Hesnemen, who was in the center of sight, did not feel uncomfortable at all and was as relaxed as ever.
The sunlight fell from the sky, casting a halo of light on all creatures on the earth without any partiality, but when it fell on this person, it seemed as if it was given an extra favor.
The orcs who witnessed this scene were in a trance for a moment, and inexplicably had the illusion that he was walking in the light, which was even more dazzling than the light itself.
After coming to their senses, the orcs' alertness instantly soared to the peak. They moved their palms slightly, and the blades in their hands instantly cut their arms. Blood gushed out along with the pain. This was the orcs' way of alerting themselves.
They still stared at Hesnemen's receding back, but did not dare to show any hostility or unkindness, because their subconscious and instinct kept telling them not to provoke him!
Don't be hostile to him!
Go and submit to him!
Go...love him!
This irresistible instinct coming from deep within their brains made them feel a chill in their hearts.
The moment Hesnemen's figure disappeared from sight, the orcs on the street who were stiff in various postures and unable to move at all suddenly regained control of their bodies.
The moment they regained control of their bodies, cold sweat soaked their entire bodies.
In their past orc careers, they had encountered many battles and even met the six-winged celestials.
Although they were desperate and terrified, they still had the courage to fight to the death and fight for a chance to escape for their people. But just now, when they faced that man, they lost all the courage to fight and escape, and they didn't even have the courage to fight to the death.
The feeling was too terrifying, as if I were an ant on the ground, and no matter how hard I struggled, it was just a pleasure.
This feeling of powerless despair and fear still makes them feel scared until now.
On this side, after following Hesnemen back to the dilapidated home, Arela immediately went into the kitchen and started to work. She knew that since she had coaxed Jiaojiao back with the promise of delicious food, she had to bring out the delicious food, otherwise, even if Jiaojiao didn't mind, his father would.
Ares followed in to help her.
The two beasts were feeling uneasy at this moment. Their only food was some coarse grains that they had just exchanged for. These might be delicious in their eyes, but in the eyes of Jiaojiao and his father, they must be considered unpalatable.
Arela hesitated for a long time before handing the bag full of grains to Ares. "Brother, take it back to Uncle Tiger and exchange it for a bowl of white flour and a piece of malt sugar."
They had never eaten such precious things as white flour and malt sugar.
Because these two things are too expensive, only a small piece and a bowl can be exchanged for a bag of coarse grains that are enough for them to eat for four days. Under normal circumstances, they would not be willing to exchange them no matter what, but there is no other way now.
Ares looked at the coarse grain in his arms, and a look of reluctance appeared on his skinny face. Arela quickly pushed him out: "Brother, go quickly. Anyway, these coarse grains were exchanged for fruits. Besides, we still have a bag, so we won't starve for the time being."
After being pushed out of the door by Arela, Ares finally had to bite the bullet and go to Uncle Tiger to exchange for white flour and malt sugar.
When exchanging white flour and malt sugar, Uncle Hu looked at him with eyes full of suspicion and jealousy, and even murderous intent flashed across his eyes for a moment, but because of the man's presence, Uncle Hu did not dare to act rashly.
All the orcs who had been to the side street were deeply wary of that man. Now that he showed no ill will, the orcs did not dare to act rashly to provoke his murderous intent and dissatisfaction.
Judging from his appearance, the man was a human, but they had never heard of such a powerful human being. He dared to go deep into the beast tribe alone with a child. This courage and confidence were enough to make them extremely wary.
Ares even wanted to cry for a moment when he met Uncle Tiger's eyes. After blinking to suppress the heat in his eyes, he lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and hurried out.
Ares knew that the mistake he made this time was too big, and that Uncle Tiger and the others were right in their attitude towards him.
He kept his head down on the way back, but even so, he still felt the unfriendly looks coming from all directions along the way.
In the kitchen, Arela took the white flour and malt sugar handed to him by Ares and began to knead the dough and make pancakes.
Not long after, Jiaojiao, who was playing with her father in the room, smelled the scent and ran out with her short legs.
Jiaojiao, who had been sniffing all the way to the entrance of the kitchen, stood on tiptoe and looked at the golden sugar cakes that Arela had placed in the coarse porcelain bowl, and swallowed unconsciously.
As a god, Hesnemen did not know how to raise children. He knew that Jiaojiao would be hungry and needed to eat, so he gave the child food. However, he only knew to fill the child's stomach and did not know that no food could be eaten alone for a long time. This resulted in Jiaojiao relying on fruits to fill her stomach for the past month.
To be honest, this is all thanks to Jiaojiao's different physique from ordinary people, otherwise she would have been unable to bear it long ago.
Standing at the entrance of the kitchen and smelling the aroma of wheat, Jiaojiao kept swallowing his saliva. He subconsciously opened the pocket in front of his belly, and when he found nothing, he tilted his head and thought about what he had to exchange.
After thinking for a while, Jiaojiao ran to the yard with his short legs, squatted on the ground and touched the ground with his little hands. The next second, a touch of green emerged from the ground under his little hands and turned into a big tree with lush branches and leaves.
The big tree bloomed and bore fruit at an extremely fast speed, and in a blink of an eye, the tree was full of sweet and delicious fruits.
Jiaojiao took the fruit that the tree offered to her, held it in her arms with great effort, and ran towards the kitchen with her short legs.
"Oh." Jiaojiao ran to the kitchen and handed a bunch of fruits to Arela.
Arela, who was putting a baked sugar cookie into the bowl, was a little confused when he saw this.
Jiaojiao, who was having trouble holding the fruit in her arms, struggled to pass the fruit in front of her again, her childish voice sounding a little anxious: "Ah."
Urged by Arela, she subconsciously reached out to take the fruit. After she took the fruit, Jiaojiao raised her little hand and pointed at the bowl on the stove. She swallowed and said vaguely, "Jiaojiao."
Seeing him like this, Arela, who was holding the fruit, tentatively handed the bowl of sugar cakes to Jiaojiao and asked hesitantly, "Exchange?"
Jiaojiao nodded: "Change"
Jiaojiao, who was so greedy, even learned to speak much faster. The crisp sound made Arela stunned for a moment.
Standing on tiptoe, Jiaojiao looked at the golden cakes in front of her. She wiped her hands on her clothes, reached into the bowl, took two sugar cakes, arched her eyebrows at Arela, and ran out with her short legs: "Dad, Dad."
Hearing the shouting, Hesnemen came out of the room and saw the little guy running towards him with two things in his hands.
"Dad, ah." Jiaojiao ran forward and handed the candy biscuit in her hand to her father.
Hesnemen squatted down, and his platinum robe fluttered on the ground as he moved.
Hesnemen reached out to take the thing from Jiaojiao's hand. Before he could ask what it was, he saw the little guy taking a big bite of the sugar cake in his hand, howling as if he was extremely hungry.
Hesnemen paused in his questioning, then frowned and wondered if he had been starving his child during this period.
Arela's cooking skills are good. The sugar cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although there is not much warm sugar core inside, Jiaojiao still feels very satisfied after eating them.
This sugar cake was not very big, about the size of a child's palm. Jiaojiao finished it in a short while and was now smelling the remaining flavor on her little hand.
Seeing this, Hesniemen handed over the untouched cake in his hand and said, "Eat it."
"No." Jiaojiao, who was just craving the sugar cake, refused it. Her soft little voice was very serious: "Daddy's, Jiaojiao, no."
After saying that, Jiaojiao reached out and pushed her father's hand towards him: "Dad, ah."
Hesnemen looked at Jiaojiao's serious little face, then looked at the sugar cake in his hand. Thinking of his greedy little look before, he suddenly chuckled twice for some reason.
He lowered his head and took a bite of the sugar biscuit, then reached out and held Jiaojiao in his arms. While stroking Jiaojiao's fluffy hair, he thought that maybe he really should learn how to raise a child!
It was his fault that he let the little guy be so greedy!
The cubs of gods should have everything!
Whatever he wants and desires should be delivered to him!
