Chapter 125
Looking at the candy handed to him by Xiao Luli, Xiao Langze widened his eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Little Lu Li didn't say anything either. He stretched out his hand and looked at him quietly.
After a long while, Xiao Langze finally found his voice. He pursed his lips and asked, "How many candies do you have left?"
Weiwei gave each of them five candies, all the same, so the amount of candy in little Lu Li's hand must be numbered.
Little Lu Li said truthfully: "This is the only one left."
Hearing this, Xiao Langze couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Then after you give it to me, you won't have any more."
"Yeah." Little Lu Li nodded, looking nonchalant. "It's too sweet. I don't really like it."
"You're so weird." Little Langze couldn't help but say, "You don't even like sweet things!"
He couldn't understand why there were people in the world who didn't like sweets. He and Xingxing loved this candy so much! The stinky monkey actually complained it was too sweet!
Little Langze felt that he and Little Luli really didn't get along, but... He looked at the candy in the boy's hand and couldn't help swallowing.
"You really don't want to eat?" He stared at Xiao Lu Li.
"No." Little Lu Li shook his head calmly.
Little Langze, once again adhering to the principle that waste is shameful, took the candy from his hand and put it in his pocket. Then he thought for a moment and said, "What if I say two candies are not enough?"
He has no sugar now!
However, this did not bother little Lu Li. He said, "I still have nectar. Nectar is also sweet."
Little Langze's eyes widened again, "Why do you have so many good things?"
Little Lu Li hesitated for a moment and did not reveal the source of the magic nectar. This was a secret between him and Susu, and he didn't know whether Susu was willing to tell the other cubs.
He didn't answer, and Xiao Langze didn't press him.
The young man simply puffed out his cheeks, feeling inexplicably angry. He loved sweets so much, but there weren't many sweets to eat. The stinky monkey didn't like them, but there were so many sweets...
It’s so unfair!
Seeing the little wolf cub puffing out his cheeks and not saying anything, Little Lu Li tilted his head and asked, "So you want to eat nectar?"
Little Langze nodded without thinking: "Yes!"
"Let's go, nectar is in my room." After saying that, little Lu Li turned and walked towards the elevator.
Little Langze turned around and asked Little Zhengxing, "Xingxing, can we go eat nectar together?"
The little Zhengxing who was carried on his back lay on his shoulder, frowning, obviously hesitant.
Little Lu Li, who had already taken a few steps, turned back to look at them and said softly, "Zhengxing can come too."
"Hey, did Xingxing hear that? He said yes!" Little Langze said with a smile, "Let's eat nectar together, and then I'll take you back to your room!"
Although it was already past six o'clock, the rules stated that one could leave the room freely from six in the morning to six in the evening, but did not say that one had to return to the room before six o'clock, so Xiao Langze had no psychological burden at all.
He carried little Zhengxing on his back and caught up with little Lu Li in just a few steps.
"Stinky..." Little Langze paused, thinking of the two candies he gave him, and now he had to go to his room to eat nectar. In the end, he couldn't be so firm and not be bribed.
He had no choice but to change the subject and ask, "Number Six, did Su Su give you a name too?"
"Well, my name is Lu Li. Susu said it means brilliant and glorious." Little Lu Li said.
"Oh, Lu Li, that sounds pretty nice!" Little Langze listened carefully to Number Six's name for the first time and nodded, saying, "Su Su is really good at naming!"
"Yeah." Little Lu Li laughed, "Su Su is amazing!"
At this time, Xiao Zhengxing, who was lying on Langze's shoulder, also nodded slightly and made an inaudible "hmm".
Little Lu Li heard it, turned around to look at him, and smiled gently.
The three cubs maintained a high degree of consensus on this matter, and their relationship finally became closer.
"You should just call me Liuliu." Little Lu Li said, "This is my nickname."
"Okay!" Little Langze nodded readily, then looked at him for a few seconds and said, "But Liuliu, you've really changed a lot!"
Even Xiao Langze, who had a grudge against him in the past, couldn't say with a clear conscience that No. 6 was annoying after looking at him now.
"Yeah." Little Lu Li nodded, "Before, it was because of the blood of the ferocious beast, but now Susu has cured me."
That is... when his bloodline talent takes effect again and he faces the split soul again, it is hard to say whether his personality will change again.
"So that's how it is!" Little Langze suddenly realized, "So you were sick before?"
Little Lu Li thought about it and said, "That seems to be possible..."
Then, he saw the wolf-eared boy looking at him with sympathetic eyes, "Then you must not give up treatment! You are doing fine the way you are now."
Little Lu Li: "...Yeah, okay."
So, the three cubs came to Xiao Luli's room together. Xiao Luli took out the jar of magic nectar that Su Ci gave him and opened the lid.
A sweet fragrance suddenly filled the room.
Little Langze sniffed and suddenly said, "Isn't this the taste of taro syrup?"
The sweetener added to the taro syrup prepared by A Yan was magic nectar, but he didn't expect the little wolf cub to have such a sensitive sense of smell that he could smell it out at once.
Little Lu Li paused, then said truthfully, "Well, this is what Su Su gave me. She told me to take a spoonful every day. It's considered... my medicine, right?"
"This medicine is so delicious!" Little Langze envied.
"It's too sweet." Little Lu Li said, "I like to drink it in water. Do you want it?"
Little Langze shook his head. He just liked to eat sweet things. People like No. 6 who didn't like sweets were simply heretics in his eyes.
However, after eating the magic nectar, he decided that Liu Liu would be his friend!
“It’s really delicious!”
Little Langze couldn't help but squint his eyes, revealing an expression full of enjoyment, and then after getting consent, he scooped another small spoonful and fed it to little Zhengxing.
Then, Xiao Zhengxing also showed the same expression as him, and it was obvious that he was enjoying it.
Little Langze grinned, patted Little Luli's shoulder firmly, and said, "Liuliu, let's write off the past. We'll just be friends from now on!"
"Um."
Little Lu Li felt relieved. In this case, Xue Wei should be satisfied, right?
The other cubs didn't know her limit, but little Lu Li saw with his own eyes that she easily picked up the can containing eight giant spider legs!
Therefore, her limit is at least higher than this...
Little Lu Li swallowed, then looked at Little Langze and said, "Let's get along well from now on and stop quarreling."
"Okay!" The little wolf cub nodded vigorously.
Sitting nearby, Xiao Zhengxing listened to their conversation and recalled Langze's words: he would rather jump off the nursery building than be friends with Number Six...
He thought about it and decided not to remind him.
Just because he didn't remind him doesn't mean that Xiao Langze will forget. He was smiling in Xiao Luli's room, but after coming to the corridor, he fell into distress.
Little Zhengxing lay on his shoulder and listened to him say, "Xingxing, what do you think are the chances of me dying if I jump off the nursery building?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but clench his hands. He shook his head and said anxiously: "Langze, don't die!"
"Oh, I'm just saying, don't be nervous." Little Langze said, "Anyway, I never said when I would jump off the nursery building."
"I just have to wait for the Star Chain Fruit vines to grow larger and cover the entire nursery building, then I can climb down along the vines!"
The more Xiao Langze thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
In fact, he had long wanted to jump off the roof to see if it would feel like flying. Just thinking about it made him feel so cool!
However, he also knew that his skills were far from enough to jump from such a high place and remain unscathed. But it would be different if he had the help of props!
Little Zhengxing listened to him and also had his own fantasies, but his brows did not relax. Of course, he did not say any words of persuasion until he was sent back to the room by the little wolf cub.
Because he knew that Langze was different from him. He was like the wind, loving adventure and excitement. Once the wind was imprisoned, it would not be happy.
He wanted Langze to be happy all the time.
But... he didn't want Langze to die.
Little Zhengxing curled up in his favorite corner and began to think about how to make Langze happy and protect his safety.
Then, he found the answer that met his requirements based on the knowledge he obtained from the base's intelligent computer.
He recalled the knowledge and finally called out to the base's intelligent computer: "Xiaozhi."
"Good evening, Cub Zhengxing No. 3, are you ready to write today's growth diary?" The base's intelligent computer sounded an emotionless electronic synthesized voice.
Little Zhengxing shook his head and said softly, "I want to know more about mechanics."
"OK."
A screen of light appeared before Xiao Zhengxing, rapidly flashing through a series of messages. After it stopped, the voice of the base's intelligent computer rang out again: "We have found all the introductory courses related to mechanics for you."
Xiao Zhengxing nodded and reached out to press on the light curtain.
The faint light on his palm almost merged with the light curtain. When he let go of his hand, his state became sluggish again and he became listless.
The base's intelligent computer had become accustomed to his method of rapidly acquiring knowledge, so after he released his hand, it reminded him, "Cub No. 3 Zhengxing, your growth diary for today..."
Xiao Zhengxing frowned and said, "You write it."
As he spoke, he placed his small hand on the light curtain.
The base's intelligent computer was about to refuse, but halfway through the sentence, it abruptly changed its tone to: "Okay."
"Thank you." The little boy said softly, yawned slightly, then curled up in the corner, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Base Intelligent Computer: "..."
Little Langze had no idea what was happening in Room 403. He skipped towards the stairs, ready to return to his room.
As a result, halfway through the walk, I heard the young man's voice ringing in my ears: "Langze, come to 303 on the third floor."
It’s Susu!
Little Langze looked around and didn't see the breeder, but he didn't care. He happily ran to the stairwell and skipped down to the third floor.
What was Susu looking for him about? Was she going to give him the magic nectar as well? Even though he wasn't sick, he wouldn't mind taking this medicine every day!
Little Langze came to the door of Room 303 with great anticipation. Seeing the metal door open automatically, he ran in, wagging his big tail.
"Susu, here I come!"
This was the first time that little Langze came to the breeder's room. He was not afraid of strangers at all. After entering, he looked around and ended up catching a glimpse of Ran Lie.
The red-haired boy was seen sitting cross-legged in the corner of the living room, his hands folded beside him, his eyes closed, and he exuded a calm and peaceful aura, which was completely different from his usual violent temper.
Little Langze scratched his head. He didn't expect Ran Lie to be here. No wonder he didn't see him during dinner just now. He thought he was eating in his room.
"Lielie..."
Just as Little Langze was about to greet him, he heard a clear young voice beside him, "Langze."
He immediately forgot about Ran Lie, turned his head to look at the direction where the voice came from, and shouted happily: "Brother A Yan!"
If Su Ci is Xiao Langze's favorite person right now, then A Yan, who has excellent cooking skills and distributes food to them every day, is definitely second...
No, it’s tied for first place!
So when facing A Yan, the little wolf cub was particularly sweet-talking, with a wide and extremely bright smile on his face.
A Yan nodded and reminded: "Ran Lie is in a special state, don't disturb him."
In fact, when he came back to cook, Ran Lie was already here. The boy seemed to have received some guidance from Su Su, and then entered a state of enlightenment, which lasted for quite a while.
Perhaps when the boy wakes up, his control over the power of his bloodline will be able to reach a higher level.
Thinking of the little tiger's madness in burning the giant spider during the day, A Yan had to admit that Su Su's training method was quite effective.
"Oh, then I won't bother him." Xiao Langze covered his mouth, and then saw the young man walking out of the bathroom.
The breeder had just taken a shower, his messy hair was fluffy and soft, and he exuded a lazy and tired aura, as if he would fall asleep with his eyes closed at any time.
"Susu!" Little Langze called him hurriedly.
Susu can't just sleep like this, otherwise he will have to go back to his room and can't continue playing outside.
Seeing the little wolf cub, Su Ci nodded, then casually put his hand on the boy's head and rubbed his soft wolf ears.
Although Xiao Langze was reluctant, he still did not dodge.
In the past, he would get potato chips if he touched the ears and tail, but since he knew how terrible the breeder was, he didn't dare to make any more demands.
However, even though he didn't have potato chips, he now had barbecue and fragrant taro to eat. When the star chain fruit ripened, he would have sweet fruit to eat. When he thought that these were all brought by Susu, his reluctance disappeared.
The furry tail hanging on the ground behind it also lifted up due to the change in mood, and then began to swing vigorously.
Su Ci touched it casually, then reluctantly cheered up and walked towards the sofa in the living room.
He threw a soundproofing shield at Ran Lie, then said to Xiao Langze, "Come here."
Little Langze walked over obediently, but just as he stood still, he saw a plate appear out of thin air on the coffee table, and on this plate was...
It turned out to be the freshly baked taro chips that A Yan had just made!
Little Langze's eyes widened. It was the legendary golden taro chips that were as delicious as potato chips! His mouth was practically watering.
“Crack, crack—”
Su Ci picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The crispy and delicious taro slices, mixed with the spicy aroma of the seasoning, had a magical power that made people want to eat more and more.
He ate two more pieces before looking at Xiao Langze. Just as he was about to start teaching, he saw the boy's greedy look, his eyes almost glued to the taro chips.
Su Ci paused slightly, then reached out and pushed the plate in front of Xiao Langze.
Little Langze's eyes lit up. He glanced at Ran Lie in the corner and asked softly, "Su Su, can I eat?"
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded.
Little Langze almost jumped up on the spot, but he restrained himself, reached out and picked up the largest piece of taro chips on the plate, then sat on the sofa and began to chew it carefully.
“Crack, crack—crack, crack—”
It was just a small piece of taro chip, but the boy felt like he had obtained the whole world and ate it with great satisfaction.
Watching little Langze eat is a very appetizing thing. Not only Su Ci, but even A Yan couldn't help but pick up a piece and started to chew it while sitting on the sofa opposite.
For a moment, the only sound in the living room was the crunching of taro chips.
However, although little Langze was greedy, he was still very careful about his limits. After eating two pieces, he licked his fingers to suck away the remaining taste and stopped eating.
"Susu, what did you ask me to do?" he asked in a low voice.
Seeing that he didn't want to eat anymore, Su Ci put the few remaining taro chips aside and asked, "Did you bring your flute?"
"Yeah, bring it!"
The bamboo flute is little Langze's treasure. He always carries it with him and even holds it when he sleeps.
Su Ci took the bamboo flute he handed over, examined it first, then took out a hollow metal rod and turned it casually, turning it into another identical bamboo flute.
Xiao Langze's bamboo flute is made of paper. Su Ci used magic to turn it into a bamboo flute, but it cannot change its nature as paper.
After using it for a period of time, the paper flute was badly damaged. If it continued to be used, it would soon become a pile of shredded paper. So Su Ci simply made him a new one.
Among the perennial plant seeds that Cen Liang gave him was bamboo, which had been soaked in a can of spiritual water. When the bamboo grew up, perhaps he could use it to make a real bamboo flute for the wolf cub.
Of course, the premise is that by that time, Xiao Langze is still obsessed with the flute and has not given up halfway.
Little Langze looked at the new bamboo flute in disbelief. He realized belatedly that—
The flute that Susu gave him didn't seem to be brought from the stars, but was really... conjured up by him!
He stroked the flute in his hand and could not see any flaws. Both the feel and the tone were exactly the same as the original one. He just felt inexplicably shocked.
You can't tell it's made of metal pipe at all!
This shouldn't be considered a natural ability, right? Is there such a magical natural ability in the world?
While Little Langze was lost in thought, Su Ci snapped his fingers to call his attention back, then said, "You've already been able to play a complete flute piece. Next, do you want to learn something more in-depth?"
"What? Susu, are you going to teach me how to play the piano?" Little Langze said in surprise.
Su Ci then remembered that the boy had said before that after he learned the flute, he also wanted to learn the piano.
He shook his head. "You've only just scratched the surface of the flute, not even gotten started. You can't bite off more than you can chew. Before you truly master it, learning other instruments will only yield half the result with twice the effort."
Little Langze scratched his head, "Then what is the deeper thing you are talking about?"
"The simplest way to enter the Tao is through music. When I play the flute, I can lead you into the fantasy world I created... You should already know this." Su Ci said.
However, Little Langze looked confused, "What fantasy world?"
Su Ci frowned, "It's what you see, the shepherd boy riding a cow, the small bridge and the flowing water..."
Listening to his story, little Langze couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise, "What? The big yellow cow wasn't just my imagination?"
It suddenly dawned on him, "No wonder the ox never appears when I play the flute myself!"
Su Ci: “…”
He looked at little Langze, who had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and suddenly couldn't help but start to doubt whether it was the right choice for him to find such a successor for Yin Xiu?
When the old man Yinzong finds out, will he be so angry that he jumps out of his grave and scolds him?
But soon, Su Ci shook his head and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
I don't think so. After all, countless tens of thousands of years have passed and he doesn't remember when the old man died. His grave had long disappeared in the years and could never be found again.
If that's the case, how could he possibly jump out of his grave? Finding a successor for him is already enough to repay the favor we once showed him, so how could he be so picky?
A Yan, who was sitting diagonally opposite, suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Ci as if he realized something.
The young man's face looked calm, but he could feel the undercurrent surging beneath that calmness, an unspeakable loneliness and loss.
A Yan felt uncomfortable in his heart again.
He thought for a moment, then flashed to Su Ci's side, and gently wrapped his tail, which was growing increasingly fluffy and fluffy, around him from behind, with the tip of his tail reaching into his arms from the other side.
Su Ci was startled, lowered his head, and met A Yan's slightly worried eyes. In a trance, he seemed to see the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy sitting next to him again, with a pair of clear eyes gazing at him deeply, as if saying to him...
Look at me, I'm here, always here with you.
Su Ci's heart moved, he blinked his eyes, and the young man disappeared. Only the little A Yan was by his side, wrapping his furry tail around him, as if giving him a hug.
Is his behavior like this...because I sensed his emotions?
Su Ci stroked the furry texture, the corners of his tightly pursed mouth gradually relaxed, and he became lazy again.
He reached out and rubbed the top of A Yan's head, but couldn't help thinking in his heart: The real A Yan... No, Zhou Yan, he suddenly wanted to meet him, at least to let him know what kind of bond they once had?
"Susu..." When Su Ci was in a daze, little Langze finally couldn't help but speak.
He finally accepted that the scene he saw when he heard the flute sound was not the result of his own imagination, but an illusion created by Susu.
So, he couldn't help but ask expectantly, "So, are you going to teach me how to ride a big yellow ox?"
Su Ci: ???
