Chapter 11 The baby fainted
Solander glanced at Yu An in his arms. The baby was clearly with him, so who was the baby that Qiao Xuer found?
Solander replied: [You've got the wrong one.]
[How is that possible?] Qiao Xi'er was very stubborn. [I called it "Cub" and it agreed. Cub~]
Woof!
Mad is crazy.
Solander cursed and cut off contact with his companions. Originally, he came to find Yu An alone, but Qiao Xueer's ability was mimicry and disguise, which could reduce his own ability without causing damage to the space, so he also followed him to find Yu An.
Usatos prefers to act alone, so Solander and Qiaoxuer acted separately as soon as they arrived. Now Solander has found Yu An, and he doesn't want to care what the hell Qiaoxuer has found, so he takes Yu An directly back to the Temple of Usatos.
The Usatos Temple, which was usually deserted, was particularly lively today. These solitary immortals gathered together rarely and squeezed together just to take a look at the little cub held in Solander's arms in the middle of the temple.
Since the size comparison between Usatos and humans is like that between dinosaurs and ants, in order to see their cubs more clearly, this group of proud overlords shrank their bodies and took on the appearance of humans.
Compared to ordinary humans, they are taller and larger in appearance, and their strong and powerful bodies are wrapped in a layer of black mist, which at this time acts as clothing.
The Uzathoths looked at Yu An with eyes full of love, [The cub is so small, and he is actually white. Has our tribe ever had white people? ]
[I don't think there is one. Although the white cub is cute, it's too dangerous. He's so small, how can he hide himself? What if he gets eaten?]
Ultathos has no natural enemies, but weak cubs without the care of their tribe often become targets of other predators.
[It's okay. I will be the guardian of the cub and protect him.]
Usatos, who said this, was quickly ridiculed by other tribesmen.
"You're nothing but trash. It's the biggest danger for the kid to follow you. He should stay with a mature and steady elder, like me."
[Oh, you old man are so shameless.]
A war of words against Yu An was in full swing. These arrogant overlords had little patience for their own kind. If they disagreed with something, they would switch back to their original forms and start fighting.
Soland did not participate in it, but held Yu An wholeheartedly. He was the youngest and weakest among the Usatos. If anyone got angry and took it out on him, he could only accept his fate and be beaten.
A well-behaved and soft baby is the best.
Solander looked at the unconscious Yu An with fondness. A small tentacle emerged from behind him and gently poked Yu An's cheek, "Baby~Baby, wake up~"
Yu An rested his head on Solande's shoulder, motionless, his delicate little eyebrows slightly furrowed, an abnormal blush appeared on his face, and his breathing became rapid.
Solander noticed something was wrong immediately and shook the little guy nervously, "Cub?"
Yu An felt like he couldn't breathe in his sleep, as if all the air around him had been sucked out. The uncomfortable feeling of suffocation made the little guy whimper and struggle to open his eyes.
What came into view was an extremely magnificent temple with huge relief pillars towering into the clouds. Yu An couldn't even see where the top was. Apart from that, there were more than a dozen strange creatures floating in the air, waving their long tentacles and whipping each other.
Yu An clearly saw the sharp teeth in the dense suction cups under their tentacles. The blood of Usatos in his body made him not afraid of these terrifying-looking overlords, but also felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy.
It was just that noisy sounds kept pouring into his ears. The Uzathoths were arguing so fiercely that sometimes he didn't pay attention to the volume. Yu An just felt dizzy and said, "I feel so dizzy... I feel so hungry."
Yu An's voice was weak, and he only had time to utter two sounds before leaning on Solande's shoulder and closing his eyes.
This time, Solander didn't think Yu An was simply asleep. He anxiously patted Yu An's red face and shouted to the tribesmen: [Stop making noise! Zi Zi is not feeling well. He fainted!]
The next second, the entire place fell silent. The Uzathoths transformed into human form again and approached nervously. "What's wrong? Why did you faint out of nowhere?"
"Could it be that we scared it out of it? It's always been living with humans and has never seen us."
[Wow wow wow my poor little one, why is your face so red? A little darker is normal, please don't be red.]
[Boss, Boss! Boss, please come quickly! The baby is dying! We are scaring the baby to death!]
The chattering sound finally woke up the sleeping Lord of Usatos. Claude used his tentacle to pull away several tribesmen who were blocking his way. His face was heavy. When he saw Yu An leaning listlessly on Solande, the aura on his body became extremely dangerous.
His deep lake-blue eyes glanced dangerously at the tribesmen, "Who told you to bring him back?"
"The cub is ours, so of course we have to bring it back." One Uzathoth said confidently, "Why should our cub stay with humans?"
Claude took Yu An from Solander's arms. Yu An sensed the familiar breath and nudged his shoulder like a kitten. He groaned uncomfortably twice and then became quiet again.
Claude's slender and well-proportioned hands covered the lower half of Yu An's face. Yu An's breathing gradually became regular and the redness on his face slowly faded away.
[He's still too young to adapt to the environment here.] Claude lowered his eyes and looked at the little guy sleeping soundly in his arms. Hearing the gurgling sound coming from Yu An's stomach, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, [I'm hungry...]
He cut his wrist and brought the bleeding spot to Yu An's mouth. Yu An twitched his nose twice, bit his wrist with his little mouth, and sucked his blood anxiously.
【Don't be impatient, drink slowly. 】
Yu An was indeed starving. His body was in the development stage and needed a lot of food. He had been hungry for the past few days and the little guy was very hungry.
After eating, Yu An did not let go of His wrist. He fell asleep with the piece of meat in his mouth, biting it lightly from time to time as a way to grind his teeth.
Solander's face was dazed the entire time. Even when the little cub was brought to him, he still hadn't reacted. He looked at his boss blankly, "What, what happened?"
[Send it back.] Claude looked at Solander with another expression of impatience. [I asked you to take care of the child, and you don't even feed him?]
Solander lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. "I didn't know the kid wanted to eat. I thought he would find food on his own."
Because he had gone through the same thing when he was a child. His elders threw him into the vast universe, and his survival depended entirely on himself. Soland couldn't help but look at Yu An's thin arms and legs. This little cub didn't look like he could hunt.
Claude knocked him on the head and said, "Take him back now and remember to feed him."
[Remember not to change back to your original form in front of the child, he seems very scared.]
Claude remembered that Yu An was frightened when he saw the slender arms that night, and their tentacles were a hundred times more terrifying than those arms. The little cub would definitely be scared, so he had to take it slow.
Solander took Yu An and said, "I understand, Boss."
After the other Usatos had left, the late-coming humanoid Usatos came running over in a hurry. His appearance was so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether he was male or female, and he was so pretty that he didn't look like a real person. However, his reactions were slow, and he looked a little dull.
Qiao Xiuer held up a khaki puppy and said excitedly, "Boss! I found my puppy!"
Claude: “…”
His silence made Qiao Xier stunned for a moment. As if thinking that He couldn't see, he handed the dog forward again, "Look, it's the cub~"
Monday wagged its tail, its eyes wide open and full of energy. It was even more energetic than Yu An who had come to the temple before. It stuck out its tongue and looked at the Lord of Usatos, saying in a full voice, "Woof!"
The veins on Claude's forehead twitched, and he resisted the urge to smack Joshua. [...Idiot, this is that kid's dog.]
[Oh...it's not Zizi.] Qiao Xiuer lowered his head in disappointment and casually put Monday on the ground. [Then I'll go find Zizi.]
Monday was already confused after being inexplicably taken away by Joe Shul. Now, it was thrown into this huge temple. The puppy whimpered in fear, tucked its tail between its legs, looked around and then set its sights on Claude.
Zhou Yi smelled Yu An's scent on the man.
Claude: “…”
Claude felt a headache and pointed at Monday, calling out to Joe Hughes, "Come back and send it back."
Qiao Xuer was also very obedient. He immediately turned back, picked up the puppy and left.
Looking at Joe Xuel's back as he left, Claude was very reluctant to admit that he had raised this idiot. It seemed that he was cursed to raise stupid people.
Solander also stayed with him for a few days at the beginning. Seeing that the boy was getting stupider and stupider, he quickly got rid of him and made up his mind not to raise a child anymore.
This is also the reason why He did not get too close to Yu An.
What if the other party is also stupid?
…
Early in the morning, Yu An got up from the bed refreshed. While standing on a small stool to brush his teeth and wash his face, Yu An looked at his lake blue eyes in the mirror and was in a trance for a moment.
He seemed to have dreamed of many uncles and aunts with the same eye color as him last night.
A delicious uncle also gave him a strawberry cake. Recalling the taste of the cake, Yu An's gluttony was aroused again.
Well... you can ask dad to bring a small cake later.
Yu An rolled around on the bed holding the little tiger doll. Finally, he felt that the room was too dark, so he stepped on the floor barefoot to open the curtains. The warm sunlight instantly illuminated the cozy room.
He lay on the windowsill and looked at the rising sun. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the little succulent on the windowsill move. Yu An was stunned and moved closer to take a look.
A gray-black jelly-like object lay on his little fleshy thing, with several long thin strips hanging down. Its body rose and fell as if it was sleeping.
Yu An stared at the unidentified creature with his eyes wide open for a long time, but he really couldn't tell what it was. He took out the mobile phone his grandmother bought for him and took a picture.
After intelligent identification, two similar species were given: the Styx jellyfish and the North Pacific giant octopus.
Hmm... the upper body looks like a jellyfish, especially the head that looks like an umbrella, and the lower body is an octopus's tentacles. Yu An gently pinched the small tentacle and observed it carefully, but the small tentacle was too small, so he used a magnifying glass to see the dense small suction cups on it.
So what species is this?
Yu An put down the magnifying glass and stared at this strange little guy intently, full of confusion, and from time to time he mustered up the courage to touch his soft little tentacles.
No matter how deep Solander's sleep was, he should wake up. After sending Yu An back last night, he racked his brains to think of how to find food for Yu An. There were not many foods with high nutritional value in this world. Solander searched around and found some mutated creatures that could be eaten.
Solander caught a few and tasted them. They were edible. Before Yu An could adapt to life in space, Solander was determined to raise him to be plump and white.
After working all night and finding the locations of several food reserves, Soland was sleepy, so he shrank his body and lay on the little succulent to sleep for a while. Anyway, the little guy was a lazy bug and wouldn't get up before nine o'clock.
As a result, Solander, who was woken up by the lazy bug, was unusually confused. [Are you sure you don't want to sleep anymore?]
The two little guys looked at each other with similar lake blue eyes, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Yu An didn't expect that this creature had the same eye color as him. He was surprised for a few seconds and responded to Solander's suggestion, "I'm full of sleep and don't want to sleep now."
"What about you? Are you a little jellyfish or a little octopus?" Yu An didn't dare touch Solander's little tentacles anymore. He was still quite shy and restrained himself, only praising him verbally, "You are so cute, small and soft, like a little mushroom."
He's cute?!
Solander was extremely shocked by this adjective. Didn't the boss say that the cubs were afraid of their original form? But it looked like the cubs clearly liked him.
After much thought, Solander attributed this to his reduced size. It was normal for children to like creatures smaller than them.
[Thanks...thanks for the compliment, ahem...I'm an octopus.] Solander casually accepted an identity and then looked at Yu An expectantly, [Baby, can I follow you? I can find you something to eat and won't let you go hungry.]
Yu An blinked and tilted his head in confusion: "Why are you following me? And my dad will give me food, I won't be hungry."
Solander's mind raced, "Because I have no home, no place to live, I can only follow you. I... I like you very much, baby. I want to be with you. Is that okay?"
Yu An is a soft-hearted child. He didn’t have a home before, but he has a home because of his father.
He pursed his lips as he looked at the cute little octopus and took the initiative to extend his white and tender little hand, "Then follow me, I will give you a home."
Solander was stunned. Usatos had no concept of family, but this little guy said he wanted to give him a "home". When Solander came to his senses, he had already climbed onto Yu An's little hand, and his tiny tentacles were tightly clinging to the child's wrist.
Yu An smiled happily and patted Solander's head, "Be good, I will take good care of you."
He can raise Monday well, and he can also raise a baby octopus well.
Listening to the child's soft assurance, Solander felt inexplicably guilty. It was obviously him who was supposed to raise the cub, so why did he feel like the roles were reversed now?
