Chapter 24
System Assistant No. Bα3L82γk was incredulous.
The first unbelievable thing was that this new, fragile little system could actually get along well with the boss.
No, it's far more than just "harmony". Not only Finks, but all the dragons on the starship like Li Jue very much.
Or to put it in a more appropriate way: treat them as your own children.
Not to mention the communication post system that bosses hate the most, even if Li Jue was really a kid picked up from a dungeon, no, let's assume it's a bit more exaggerated, even if it's a real, precious kid from the dragon clan that hasn't hatched offspring for hundreds of years, it's not certain that all parents will like him.
Being loved by everyone and having flowers bloom wherever you go is an impossible dream state in itself.
However, Li Jue did it.
The children's room was filled with treasures that the dragons themselves were reluctant to take out to look at, which was enough to prove the extraordinary status of this little guy who they had only known for a few days in their hearts.
Unbelievable, momo thought, what kind of new employee am I mentoring this time!
The second unbelievable thing is that the KPI arranged for Finks was completed without any reminders, hints or warnings.
The young Li Jue couldn't explain it clearly, and Momo didn't have the courage to ask Finks, so they could only retrieve the player records from the central control center.
There were two players who successfully passed the level this time, their names were Yuan Yingying and Lu Ying.
The reason they survived was that the dragons were eager to go home and play with their cubs, and never visited the human planet again.
The sapphires required for the mission were thrown to them by the boss himself.
...Is this reasonable?
If you are not mistaken, the next screen shows that Finks, who had just accompanied the player to complete the task, was busy taking Li Jue to the town in the Western Hemisphere to buy clothes.
That's why he was too lazy to ask Bling to dig traps and set plans, and just gave the props to the players directly.
No, brother, does this really follow the rules of the game?
Momo had a thousand questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Anyway, its responsibility is only to train new employees in the communication position. As for whether the boss's behavior is compliant, the system at the audit post is responsible for it. It has nothing to do with it, let alone the baby.
With such words to comfort herself, Momo relaxed a lot.
It has already taught the cub how to assign tasks to the boss. The next step is to take him to meet other bosses outside the dragon world, especially to remember the order and content of the visits and not to get them confused.
"Baby, your work here is almost done. Next, we'll go to Master Qian Xing's world."
"Who is that?"
[It's the Siren King.]
"ocean?"
【Baby, have you ever seen the sea?】
"No."
【It’s blue, lots of water! 】
"So, Hague also lives in blue water?"
"It's the Siren, not the Hague. My dear, Master Qianxing may not be as irritable as Master Finks, but when he gets angry he can be quite formidable! You mustn't make them angry! For example, don't call them by their names carelessly..."
After Momo finished this long paragraph, even she herself was a little confused.
It was indeed a rule of the bosses not to randomly call names. He had personally witnessed someone being picked on by an enraged boss because the previous system had mispronounced a difficult word.
The problem is, it seems like babies don’t need to follow any rules at all!
The scene of the little guy calling Finks "Mimi" and the latter agreeing without hesitation was vivid in his mind like a nightmare.
Fortunately, Li Jue didn't notice the lag and was building blocks with Ling Xi.
They are building a castle.
The children showed extraordinary talent as architects at a young age and were able to build blocks as high as their waists.
Not only is it very sturdy and will not fall over, but each part also has distinct functional areas.
While the children were playing, Momo was watching them.
Mainly Ayaki.
With the dragons' concerted efforts in the arrangement, Li Jue's children's room has long been exquisite and complete enough.
But the child was afraid of being alone and didn't want to be alone. During the day, he would either stay with Finks or go out with other brothers and sisters. At night, he would run to Lingxi's room and refuse to leave.
Ling Xi's love for him is boundless, and she would agree to whatever the cub says; even the Golden Tyrant who regards the cub as his precious jewel has said that "it's not good to spoil him too much."
But there's no way.
As long as Zizi held his arm and shook him, and looked at him expectantly with those bright, round eyes, he was completely helpless.
That's normal.
Who can resist a baby?
Momo didn't know Ayaki. From the character identification manual, she knew that the boy was just an all-round little servant that the dragons had picked up from the ruins and had mercifully raised on the starship. He was a human without any special powers and there was nothing special about him.
But for some reason, every time it talked with Li Jue in a private space, it always felt that Ling Xi could hear it.
Even, you can look directly in the direction it is.
This is simply impossible.
If the Boss Communication Post's system is not materialized, even NPCs and players will not be able to sense its existence;
As for the system assistant, if the previous system had not been always scared away and he had to take over temporarily, it would not even exist for the boss.
The private space set up by Momo cannot be penetrated by either the most powerful boss, other systems, or assistant colleagues.
How could such an ordinary child, who didn't have any special aura, possibly crack it?
It must be a coincidence.
After the topping-out ceremony, Li Jue took two building blocks in the shape of little men, stood on tiptoe and carefully placed them on the top of the tower, representing the prince and princess in the castle.
Ling Xi asked, who are the prince and princess?
Li Jue poked his little face and thought anxiously for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer.
Most of his knowledge about princes and princesses comes from the bedtime stories his father tells him, but compared to fairy tales about princes and princesses, his father prefers to tell other things, such as gods and believers.
Ling Xi saw that the younger one was confused and simply helped him out: "Then let's not have a prince and princess. This one is me, and this one is you, how about that?"
Li Jue's eyes lit up.
He wanted to reposition the dolls, but he had placed them too far inward, and now he couldn't even reach them by standing on tiptoe.
The cub turned around and raised his hands: "Xixi, hug me!"
As if she had done this a million times before, Ayaka easily picked him up and lifted him high until she could reach the doll.
Li Jue pushed this one and touched that one, making the little dolls that were originally separated and at a distance stick together closely.
The doll's hands had delicate joints, and Li Jue leaned over in Ling Xi's arms, fiddling with the doll's hands so that they touched each other.
Mission accomplished!
The cub looked at the little dolls holding hands and grinning, and also took the little brother's hand, smiling: "Xixi and Juejue, stay together forever!"
The boy looked at his masterpiece, squeezed his little hand, and smiled the way he only smiled at Li Jue: "Yeah, let's be together forever."
*
Will was the one who went out on a mission today to fly over the Eastern Hemisphere to intimidate and bomb. It would be too boring to stay at home after get off work, so he planned to go to the Western Hemisphere to have some fun and eat some humans... No, to eat some human delicacies.
The little cub, who hadn't been out of the house for several days, also wanted to go after hearing this, and begged Finks to allow Will to take him with him.
Will is efficient at work, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get the position of third in command after Lin Wang. But he is always a little clumsy when it comes to taking care of children.
Either I forget to bring the bottle for the baby, or I tie my pockets backwards, and I can't even feed him properly.
The cub would sigh like a little adult, grab the spoon that was almost poking him, and say sincerely, "Brother, cub can eat by himself."
Will also felt aggrieved. The cub's spoon was too small. Even though he had transformed into a human form, he was still used to looking at the miniature children and the even miniature children's tableware from a dragon's perspective.
This is like driving a forklift to put marbles into a glass bottle, which is too difficult.
Then again, raising a child is a highly delicate challenge.
Finks was worried at first. If he couldn't go in person, the baby would have to be accompanied by Lin Wang or Lida.
But both of them were busy today, so he had no choice but to coldly reject the travel plan.
For the Golden Dragon, who said that Ling Xi spoiled Li Jue too much and was actually no less spoiled than him, it was very rare for him to refuse the little guy's request.
Although Zaizai was disappointed, he didn't make a fuss.
He blinked his eyes and ran away with his fluffy cat tail wagging.
The adults who were left behind felt an indescribable embarrassment.
And, cramped.
Will, who was still making preparations, studied the leader's face and asked hesitantly, "Boss, will the baby be sad?"
Even though the cub usually smiles at everyone, it is very difficult to comfort it when it is really sad.
Finks's expression was not good.
He also felt uncomfortable when he saw the small figure disappearing from his sight in a lonely manner.
But he had just made a decision in front of his men on the bridge. If he withdrew now, even if everyone knew it was all for the little guy, where would his face be? How could he continue to be a decisive and decisive leader?
The parents hesitated for a long time between "wanting the baby" and "wanting face", and also waited for a long time, but the little guy did not come back to the bridge; that was the baby who loved to watch the stars from the bridge on weekdays and could stay there for a whole day.
Seeing the time passing by, Finks finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He took a breath, turned the captain's chair whose armrest was almost broken off, and ordered one of his men to go over and see how Li Jue was doing.
Just then, Zizi came back.
When they saw the little figure reappear on the bridge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone also heard a sound like a stone falling to the ground in their heart.
As for who it belongs to, it won’t be the leader, hmm.
Li Jue did not come back alone. He was holding Ling Xi's left hand and Yan Shi's right hand.
There wasn't a single dragon on the entire starship that was taller and stronger than a rock, let alone a three-year-old cub.
He couldn't reach the baby's hand when he stood up straight, so he could only hunch his body, almost completely bent over, with his center of gravity tilted, and walked with great difficulty.
Ren Lijue's short legs were running very fast in the front, and he was the one stumbling behind.
Even so, he did not refuse Zizi's request.
The one who once insisted on throwing Li Jue off the starship has now become the one who dotes on the cub the most.
All the dragons on the bridge were not focused on their work. Those with good positions watched openly, while those with their backs to the ship or facing the side used various reflective surfaces to watch.
Finks calmly put the removed armrest back on, without standing up, and looked at the rather discordant trio in front of him.
In fact, he was not as calm as he looked. His heart was in his throat. For a moment, he was worried about what would happen if his son got angry with him, announced that he would run away from home, or never talk to him again.
However, he still didn't understand Li Jue well enough.
The little guy never holds grudges and only uses his brain when facing difficulties.
He shook Ling Xi in his left hand and said seriously, "Xi Xi, you can take care of me."
He shook the rock in his right hand again—oh, didn’t shake it—“Brother Stone, you can protect me.”
He let go of the two people, ran to Finks, raised his little face and said seriously: "So, you can go play!"
Not only Finks, but the other dragons were also stunned.
The reason why Finks rejected Li Jue's request just now was that Will was unable to take good care of the child, so the kid ran to find "reinforcements".
As he said, the careful Ayaka can take good care of him, and the brave rock can protect him.
In other words, as long as these two people accompany him to the planet where humans gather, Finks' original worries will be completely solved.
This argument was well-reasoned and had to convince Long.
Little Li Jue is not only good at acting coquettishly with his cute appearance, but he is also a very thoughtful and smart child.
Finks looked down at the little cub standing in front of him and said hesitantly, "You..."
He actually wanted to ask the little guy if he was angry with him; but saying such words in front of his subordinates was too embarrassing (yes, he knew very well that all the dragons were watching the show intently), so he changed his mind and said, "Do you really want to go that much?"
Li Jue nodded vigorously at first, then his tone became a little uncertain: "Mimi... do you want to go too?"
The cub was confused and wondered, could it be that his parents disagreed before because they didn’t include him in their travel plans?
The cub grabbed Finks's big hands with his two little hands. The "hard" method of argument had been used, and now it was time to switch to the "soft" method. The little baby said in a soft and tender voice: "Then brother, go with the cub!"
Li Jue's coquettish offensive was learned without any instruction and has always been successful.
Especially at this time, he chose to use the name "brother", coupled with a sweet smile, causing 1,000,000 critical hits to the Golden Tyrant.
Finks almost lost control and took a big sip of the cub in front of all the dragons.
Fortunately, he was used to the domineering and cold-faced role, so he managed to suppress the smile on his lips: "I have other things to do. If you really want to go... then go."
He glanced at the two behind him. Ling Xi and Yan Shi immediately expressed that they would do their duty and bring back the same way the baby went, without losing a single hair.
Finks nodded in satisfaction and ruffled the child's hair expressionlessly.
Even though her heart was already soft and blossoming, she still kept her voice as cold and calm as ice: "Be careful."
When Li felt that her father had been granted permission, she exclaimed "Wow" in surprise and rushed forward to hug the adult.
The little cub with cat ears was so small that he couldn't reach the wide captain's chair, nor could he reach the tall parent sitting in the captain's chair.
The parent lifted him up, placed him on his lap, and said in a deep voice, "Are you satisfied?"
The little cub hugged his neck and gave him a kiss, his golden eyes smiling: "Cub, you will bring a gift for your brother when you come back~!"
It is a little difficult to climb up, but it is very easy to slide down along the parents' legs.
As long as I can get a kiss from my baby (in front of everyone), face and airs are no longer important.
Finks felt elated as he watched Li Jue holding Ayaka's left hand and Yanshi's right hand again, and leaving the bridge together.
He was completely unaware that he had a smile on his face, and already looked like a silly parent immersed in happiness.
Wait a minute.
What did the kid just call me?
Not brother, nor Mimi.
...It's "Brother Mi".
What the hell is this name?
*
Human gathering star, Western Hemisphere.
Their timing was fortunate, as they arrived just in time for another town meeting.
The boys were wearing the same clothes in different colors, and Li Jue even wore a sun hat to cover his cat ears.
Even though they don't look alike and their hair and eye colors are different, everyone who sees them would say they are two cute little brothers.
The rock followed the children, strong and serious, like a guardian angel.
Even if someone covets the cute little cub, they would not dare to act rashly when they see the adults watching closely from behind.
The excited little Li looked here and there.
Ling Xi followed closely behind, ready to take action, not daring to miss a single step.
Suddenly, the cub stopped.
He spotted a new stall and his eyes widened.
In order to make the cat's tail hidden in the clothes look more natural, the parents chose a top for the little one today that has a fluffy hem and a rather exaggerated lace border, decorated with various thumb-sized dolls, making it look like a small, curled-up skirt.
In this way, even if the tail bulges a little, it won't be so noticeable.
When a kitten is excited, it can't help but wag its tail. When Ling Xi saw that its "little skirt" was about to flutter, she knew that it must have seen something it liked.
He went up to see that it was someone selling goldfish.
The little kitten’s favorite thing is fish, and Li Jue can’t resist such temptation.
Squatting beside the big fish tank, my eyes followed the fish's swimming trajectory, and I was so fond of the fish's tail that was as thin and translucent as silk.
When I lived with my father, I also bought such little goldfish.
In order to raise the fish well, my father also bought fish tanks, pebbles, and water plants to create a beautiful home for the fish.
At that time, the first thing Xiao Lijue did after coming back from daycare every day was to climb onto the sofa and look at the fish tank embedded in the background wall.
He stared at the dreamy colors under the lights, and used his child's imagination to imagine all kinds of colorful and wonderful worlds. He thought that he was also a small fish, swimming freely, swimming to the ends of the earth, and swimming to the stars.
However, even if you have made sufficient preparations, raising fish is not as easy as you think.
Soon, they became sick and stopped swimming one by one.
The child was so sad that he burst into tears.
Even the most sensitive adults couldn't manage their emotions well.
So, the big and the small hugged each other and cried, mourning the death of those little creatures.
In order to prevent Zizi from being reminded of the past, Chen Yan asked someone to remove the fish tank and fill in the sofa background wall.
Not only the goldfish, but also the flowers and plants that Chen Yan tried to raise always withered.
Later, when Chen Yan was shopping, if her eyes were attracted by flowers, plants, fish or birds, Li Jue would grab the adults' hands immediately and plead eagerly: "Dad, don't raise them anymore."
The children have already understood that Dad is not suitable for raising plants and pets.
Whatever you raise will die.
Oh, except him.
He was raised by his father to be fair, tender, soft and sweet.
Being able to raise a child well is also amazing.
At this moment, Li Jue, looking at the goldfish on the stall, thought of his father again.
He thought a little depressedly, where is my father?
You haven’t shown up for such a long time, don’t you want your baby anymore?
Xixi is very good.
Brother Mi, the other brothers and sisters are also very good.
But they are not Dad, and they cannot replace Dad.
No one can replace Dad.
Momo said that if he could do his job well in the system, God would reward him by letting him find his father.
Even though a three-year-old child still doesn’t know what “system” and “work” are, or what God is, he already has such a beautiful goal.
The cub clenched his little fists and cheered himself up.
He will definitely work hard!
Seeing Li Jue staring intently, Ling Xi squatted down beside him and said, "Jue Jue, do you want this?"
No matter how young a butler is, he is still a worker. As one of the top ten employees on the Dragon Nest starship, he has a salary and a year-end bonus.
There was usually not much expense on the starship, so he saved up every penny.
Now, there is finally a place where I can spend money and am willing to spend it: buying things that Li Jue likes.
The boy took out his wallet, which was sparkling with many pieces of pure gold and silver, as well as small gemstones of high clarity and rarity.
Compared with the dragons who make a lot of money and hoard goods, it is indeed not worth mentioning.
But in such a backward town, he is still a real rich man.
He took out a small pigeon blood ruby and asked the stall owner, "Excuse me, how many small fish can I buy with this one?"
If someone who knows the value of the fish comes, just this one grain can be sold to several shops, not to mention a few small fish.
However, the goldfish vendor not only didn't know the value of the goldfish, thinking they were worthless glass beads, but also had a business principle: "Little boy, I don't sell fish here."
Ling Xi was puzzled: "If you're not selling anything, why set up a stall?"
Seeing how adorable the two children were, the stall owner became more patient. He didn't chase them away like he would other children who had no money and were just joining in the fun. Instead, he pointed to a handwritten sign next to him and said, "Look, I caught my fish through a game. Three times for one copper coin. Where are your parents?"
Ling Xi could see that the stall owner didn't recognize the ruby and was unwilling to accept it as currency.
There are no large, well-established cities in the Western Hemisphere, but rather a sprawling network of small towns and villages.
These villages and towns all have their own monetary systems and are not connected to each other.
Of course, Ling Xi didn't have the copper coins here, so she was in a dilemma.
He stood up and looked back at the rocks guarding them not far away. "Sir, do you have any copper coins here? Can you lend me some?"
Yanshi had already seen the two little ones (mainly Li Jue) lingering over the goldfish stall, but he didn't have any copper coins there.
He took out a shiny gold coin, enough to buy an entire street, and asked the vendor, "Is this enough?"
The stall owner, who only earns a few dozen copper coins a day and can barely make a living, has never seen such a good thing.
His eyes gleamed, but because the parent looked burly and fierce, he didn't dare take the fish directly from his hand. He swallowed hard, trembling with fear and excitement. "Enough, enough... more than enough. My two young masters, you can take all the fish home! Anything!"
Ling Xi looked at the seemingly worthless gold and silver coins in her wallet and sighed in her heart.
It seems that I should save more next time and ask the person in charge of finance to exchange it for a complete one.
Although the gold coin was enough to buy all the fish, Li Jue did not intend to pack them up and take them away directly.
He still remembered the small fish that had died at home. He thought that since he was his father's child, he probably couldn't raise them well either.
However, this does not prevent you from playing games!
The stall owner looked around cautiously, made sure no one was watching, and then took the gold coins.
He first took a bite, then rubbed it left and right on his clothes, and finally carefully put it into his inner pocket. Then, with a smile on his face, he took a handful of net bags and distributed them to the two children.
Ling Xi frowned when she saw it.
Those fishing nets either had big holes in them, or had extremely fragile handles that would break at the slightest force, or were simply made of paper and could not be exposed to water at all.
No wonder it’s so cheap, you can get three fishing nets for one copper coin.
It's not just three, even if there are thirty, you may not be able to catch a fish, right?
After all, the buyer is always less intelligent than the seller.
The vendor's "scheming" did not affect the children's participation. The cub walked around and changed several positions, then chose the fish he wanted most (he did not realize that the fish would also swim to other areas). He squatted down, held the handle tightly, locked eyes, and muttered to himself: "Little fish, little fish, I won't take you away. I just want to play with you! Come on, come on~"
He did not take action immediately, but "communicated" with the fish while waiting for one to take the bait.
Ling Xi also tried several times, and it was just as expected. The paper net rotted when it came into the water, and the broken net would directly let go of the fish that had been caught.
It doesn't look like it can be caught at all.
The stall owner looked at the two children with interest.
The younger one is innocent and enjoys the process of playing more than whether he can achieve the goal.
Especially when he whispers to the fish in the pond, he feels like the little prince in the fairy tale who can communicate with animals and enjoys everyone's love.
The older one was old enough to understand things and had long since realized that there was no way out.
But he was calm and patient. Instead of getting angry when the fishing net fell like other children, he kept adjusting the angle and strength, trying to find the trick.
So different, yet so harmonious.
Just like the protagonist in the story, he is the one who shines in the dull crowd wherever he goes.
The stall owner glanced at the majestic, serious and generous parent from time to time. Are the two little ones just his children?
But the three people don't look alike, and there is no trace of blood relationship.
If it's not the parents, then... is it a hired bodyguard?
The man seemed to be very cherishing of the light-haired child just now.
However, the dark-haired boy also cherished the little child very much, unlike other brothers and sisters who would fight for the little child; he had seen many such scenes.
From this point of view, the older one is most likely a playmate of the young master.
Looking at the little cub's exquisite attire further confirmed his guess.
Oh my, these evil rich people.
The children didn't know that during the time they were catching fish, the stall owner's mind had already been thinking about seven or eight things and he was still trying to catch the colorful little fish.
Ayaki's physical techniques have basically failed.
Li Jue's magic attack also had no effect.
The child was not discouraged. He continued to persuade the little fish to jump into the net bag by themselves, and assured them that "I really don't plan to take you away."
Just then, another customer appeared beside them.
The visitor had a clear goal and asked the cub, "Can I try?"
That's a man.
The voice was pleasant, but very cold, as if it was immersed in the bottom of a lightless abyss.
Li Jue raised his head.
The visitor was wrapped in a dark cloak from head to toe, even with a veil on his face, covering himself up quite tightly, as if he didn't want to be peeped at all.
Behind him followed two people who were probably maids, their faces also hidden with light-colored gauze.
Due to frequent wars and constant invasions by alien beasts (that is, dragons), the devastated Eastern Hemisphere and the backward Western Hemisphere have not yet produced a force strong enough to rule multiple towns.
Countless tribes have also given rise to different civilizations and many clothing customs.
It is not uncommon to see people wrapping themselves up like this, but it is outrageous to see people putting strange things on their heads.
But after seeing it so many times, I get used to it. As for other people's customs, what we need is not to understand them, but to respect them.
Xiao Lijue didn't think too much about it. He always welcomed new friends and took the initiative to move to the side.
The man took a step toward the space he had vacated.
From this perspective, the child can see the only exposed eyes of the adults.
The person who came had a pair of gorgeous almond-shaped eyes, but because his gaze was extremely cold, this beauty was covered with a layer of icy distance.
The phoenix eyes looked down at the curious cub: "Which one do you want?"
Li Jue did have one that he had his eye on for a long time. Its tail fin was the same light golden color as his own, forked like a flower bud, swaying in the waves and under the lights, as gentle as a feather.
The baby pointed at that one and said in a baby voice, "Brother, I want that one."
The man seemed to remember something and glanced at him.
Although calling a young male you don't know "brother" is a normal term of address, it sounds particularly soft and soothing when pronounced by a little cub.
It lives up to its reputation, a completely natural way of acting cute.
It is no wonder that the arrogant and conceited golden tyrant would fall.
The man chuckled and stretched out his hand from the wide sleeves of his cloak. His fingers were long and slender, and his skin was cold and white.
The fingers are connected by something blurry and cannot be seen clearly.
He spread his fingers and twisted his wrist absentmindedly.
Then, an incredible scene happened——
Li Jue followed his instructions and waited with the fishing net in hand. He watched with his own eyes as his favorite pale golden fish suddenly seemed to come to its senses and jumped into his net bag!
The bag he was holding had a hole in the bottom, which was just big enough for the fish to slip out.
However, as the water droplets splashed out by the fish, a layer of water film formed in the net bag, neither too big nor too small, just enough to fill the hole.
Not to mention the fish, not even a drop of water can leak in.
The golden little fish flapped its wings in the net a few times, but when it realized it couldn't escape, it gave up struggling.
Its body was also wrapped in a film of water, and it did not feel any discomfort from leaving the water and going ashore.
The little cub was very surprised.
He carefully held the handle of the fishing net, stared at the little fish for a while, then looked up and asked innocently: "Brother, are you a princess? I've seen that princesses in cartoons can talk to animals..."
He told her all his guesses, and she did not notice that the adult's expression hidden under the veil had become unhappy.
The "Princess" took a deep breath and reminded herself that they were now in Finks' world. That guy doted on this little thing so much that she couldn't do whatever she wanted.
The boss, equally stunned and thinking he was seeing things, was still thinking about business first. He quickly took out the bag and said, "Little boy, put the fish in. It's already yours."
Unexpectedly, Li Jue shook his head: "Thank you, uncle, but I don't want it."
Not only the stall owner, but even Ling Xi was a little surprised.
Just now, when the little cub was waiting to catch the fish, he did say "I just want to play with you" and "I won't take you away". He thought it was a "tactic" to lure the fish into taking the bait, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Li Jue held the fishing net in one hand and held his little face with the other, and sighed heavily.
He is his father's child, so he must be just like his father, not good at raising pets.
If you bring this lively little fish home, it will soon turn over and fall asleep.
It's a sin.
The pale golden fish seemed to have heard his thoughts. It flicked its petal-like tail fin and opened its big, round eyes, as bright as its cub's: "Cub, are you really not going to take me with you?"
Li Jue was startled, looked around, and then looked in front of him.
It really is like the little fish talking to itself!
The cub shook his head: "I'm sorry, cub, you can't do that."
"Okay then." The little goldfish blew a bubble at him, "Then I'm leaving!"
Li Jue waved his little hand and said goodbye seriously.
The goldfish blew out another bubble and said in a clear and melodious voice: "Hello, hello, goodbye!"
Then he leaped back into the fish tank with a perfect posture that would get a perfect 10 at a sports meet.
Puff.
The cub felt both regret and relief, but was also very happy to have a brief chance to talk to the little fish.
The little brain kept thinking, was it all done by the "princess" brother?
On the other side, Rock went into alert mode the moment the man appeared, especially when he saw him talking to Zi Zi, his first reaction was to step forward and stop him.
After hearing that person speak, he was stunned again.
This sound.
Could this person be... ?
He stopped where he was, watching the interaction between the man and the baby warily.
After seeing that the other party could control the goldfish, he became more certain of his guess.
It is indeed “that person”.
But why is he here?
More importantly, boss, you know what?
*
somewhere.
The god dismissed all the guards and entered the deepest cell alone.
In fact, it cannot be considered a prison cell in the universal sense. It looks no different from an ordinary room, except that there are no lights and no windows.
The bed against the wall was covered with fresh sheets and bedding, but there was no one on it.
The god frowned, remembering that the servant mentioned that this person never wanted to sleep on this bed, preferring to hide in the corner day and night.
Sure enough, he found the young man curled up at the foot of the bed.
That is the posture of the fetus in the mother's womb, the most comfortable and safest.
The young man's handsome face was pale to the point of being transparent, and his lips were completely bloodless.
It’s more like being unconscious than falling asleep.
There were no visible restraints on his wrists and ankles, yet they still felt as tight as shackles.
God looked down at him.
There is inevitably curiosity in the scrutinizing eyes.
He raised his hand, and the open door closed behind him.
The room fell completely silent.
The god bent down and moved closer to feel the breath coming from humans.
"…What's so special about it?"
That is indeed a question.
But the person he was questioning was not himself, nor the unconscious young man.
He lowered his hand, and slowly stroked the human's black hair, which had grown too long because it had not been trimmed for too long.
The fragmented light covered her, and in an instant, the originally messy long hair became clean and soft.
He gently stroked the young man's cheek again as if he had obtained a new toy.
After the passage of time, the scars, fatigue, and dust left by the previous struggle all disappeared.
Human skin is as warm and translucent as jade, with a faint warmth lingering around the fingertips.
But God has no temperature.
The god rubbed Chen Yan's skin with his fingertips over and over again like a demon, from cheeks to throat and then down.
Over and over again, I feel the pulsation of blood vessels and the beating of my heart beneath my skin.
He found himself irresistibly drawn to this warmth.
"Is that why?"
He murmured.
He once did not understand why a mere human being, a weak, insignificant and ridiculous human being, could stir up such a shocking storm.
He had also seen humans, too many of them, whether it was the players pouring in every day or the puppet-like NPCs in various sub-worlds. He really couldn't find anything that could attract the attention of the gods.
But He was also told that Chen Yan was different from those stupid humans.
Now, He finally touched upon this difference.
Chen Yan seemed to feel someone touching her, and her long crow-feather eyelashes trembled from lightly to violently.
But I just couldn't wake up.
He was trapped in a perpetual, deranged dream.
I dreamed of a tall figure bending down and picking me up horizontally.
He was embarrassed by this posture, but he was powerless, so he had to let the man lower his head and kiss his eyes.
“…?”
The man asked.
He couldn't hear clearly and muttered something in confusion.
"Nothing," another low, soft voice said. "Go to sleep. I'm here."
Before Chen Yan could let her consciousness sink, she dreamed of another soft, small figure.
The child happily jumped into his arms, put his little hands around his neck, and asked for a kiss.
"Baby, you're very well behaved today! The teacher said..."
The next second, the toddler was suddenly taken away from him, grabbed by a pair of invisible hands, preventing him from getting closer.
The child cried helplessly and couldn't even utter a word to call for help.
Then, they all disappeared.
The world was covered in white, like an endless snowstorm.
……wait for me.
He thought in a daze.
I will rescue—
Who to save?
Who can save him from being imprisoned?
The dream world instantly collapsed into countless tiny, glittering fragments, which fell one by one into the hands of the gods outside the dream.
He touched the human's forehead, and a faint light gathered from the palm of his hand.
He was reading his memories from the dream, but some of them were extremely chaotic and he couldn't see anything clearly.
It seems to be firmly guarded by the subconscious mind and can never be peeped into.
"Let me see more." The god laughed softly, "If you are... the only weakness."
There is ample time.
What He lacked the least was time.
He left.
The door closed behind Him, and the light disappeared along with it.
From beginning to end, Chen Yan never woke up.
