Chapter 84
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"Uncle Wanwan and Brother Meimei..."
“…”
"They are..."
"Children are not allowed to know."
"O^O"
Qian Xing carried Li Jue in her arms as they hurriedly left the study hallway and the entire floor. The Sea Monster King usually strolled leisurely, but today he moved much faster than usual, his steps hurried, as if pursued by demons and monsters.
Strictly speaking, there is a hell demon in the study room behind, which is indeed a kind of "demon".
The little cub in his arms was quiet for a while, then couldn't help but tug at his sleeve: "Brother."
Before he could ask any more shocking questions, Qian Xing reached out her index finger and tapped his nose: "Shh."
Li Jue was not convinced: "Zizi has seen it!"
Qian Xing's thoughts were tied up: "...What?"
"Kiss, kiss!" The baby replied clearly and resoundingly, "Brother Yaoyao and Brother Mimi also kissed! I've seen it. Oh, and also, Daddy and the golden uncle..."
The adult's hair stood on end when he heard this: "Why are you..."
Li Jue showed her dimples, her golden eyes sparkling: "Then, baby, you want to kiss your brother too!"
The child opens his arms and waits to be hugged.
Qian Xing couldn't resist his coquettish behavior, so she lowered her head and gave him a light kiss on the forehead.
The siren's body temperature is very low, even its kiss is icy cold, with the tranquility of the deep sea.
The little cub was satisfied after receiving the kiss and forgot about the intimate behavior of his other brothers.
Seeing that Li Jue did not continue to ask questions, the Sea Monster King breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand towards the heavy door in front of him. Dark blue water plants emerged from his sleeves and climbed up the door handle. He twisted it downwards, and the door opened to both sides. The bright red moonlight illuminated the dim room.
In this still eerie night, the Castle of Custer, which has become a hellish castle, is bustling with activity:
The headless ghost servants grunted as they carried a long table, on which they placed various desserts and snacks—the kind that humans can eat.
Skeleton servants were busy inflating balloons, arranging flower baskets, and tying bows and various ornaments;
Fireflies and flying flowers are deftly weaving a birthday crown, which they will put on the little birthday boy later.
Miaoling was holding Lingxi on her head and hanging gifts on the Christmas tree that was adorned with strings of lights; although Li Jue's birthday was far from winter both in the real world and in the hell world, as long as the cub liked it, there could be a Christmas tree at any time.
While Mephistopheles and Wannian were arguing in the study, the others had already started preparing for the birthday party.
The small system’s fourth birthday is a big event.
Qian Xing put Li Jue down, and Zizi was the first to run towards Ling Xi under the gaze of a group of servants.
Soon, a golden-red light appeared out of nowhere, growing larger and larger like a torn wound until it was large enough for an adult to pass through.
The last guests, the Golden Dragon family, arrived late.
The little cub was struggling to climb onto the Soul Devourer's back. When he heard the familiar call, he quickly turned around. After seeing Finks and his group, he was so excited that he almost jumped off Meow Bell.
Rock was quick-witted and rushed over to catch the falling cub, and was thus the first to receive a sticker from the small system.
He was so tall that Li Jue felt like he was being lifted up by a small mountain.
Rock simply carried him around, showing him off like a trophy, and showing him to everyone: This is the cutest kid in the world.
Finks stood there with his arms crossed, a smile on his face, watching Li Jue approaching him.
Sure enough, as soon as the cub saw him, he immediately leaned over to ask him to hold him: As the first boss parent the small system met, the Golden Dragon lit up the big plus point of the fledgling complex.
Li Jue hasn't seen him for a long time, and has a lot to say to Brother Mi.
He talked about this new sub-world, about how he was very good at mopping the floor when he was a little boy servant (they actually asked the baby they held so dear to their hearts to mop the floor? What on earth was Mephistopheles doing? Finks frowned), about Count Caster, Maid Gwen, the Son of God and the High Priest, and about how with a long whistle, the world suddenly changed its appearance, like two completely different scripts before and after the curtain fell.
besides.
"Zizi saw it!" Li Jue said in a low voice, as if speaking a secret, without lowering his voice at all, "Brother Meimei and Uncle Wanwan are—"
Everyone around, whether busy or not, pricked up their ears.
exist--?
The little devil has a pretty face, a bad yet sweet personality, and is a master at acting like a spoiled brat. It's obvious at first glance that he's a playboy who brings disaster to everyone.
But as to whether he really had any past love affairs, it seems that I have never heard of them. Even when he was flirting, he was arrogant and would rather be a manipulator directing the puppet in his hands to complete the scene than do anything himself.
Some say that Mephistopheles is such a heartless person;
Some people say that Mephistopheles actually has someone he is deeply in love with, but no one has ever seen him.
These speculations continued until he brought back a small boss from somewhere.
This statement is not rigorous. From a certain moment on, every time the little devil left the hell world, he would bring back a few small bosses, but no one had ever seen them a second time; no one knew where he sent them, but it seemed that Mephistopheles was eager to collect them - yes, collect the small bosses in each sub-world, whether it was in the hell world or elsewhere.
There are rumors that they were imprisoned in a place and were to be offered as sacrifices to the evil god.
The source of these rumors was cut off by Mephistopheles using some... means.
However, this little boss brought back from the ocean world was different: Mephistopheles not only did not take him to that mysterious place, but kept him by his side all day long, staying there wherever he went. If he couldn't see him for a while, he would look for him everywhere, and he wanted to tie himself with a rope.
Everyone knew from those times that this seemingly gentle man named Wannian was probably very special to Mephistopheles.
Some within Hell had followed Mephistopheles from the beginning of time until the present day, and they knew something about the current master of Hell's past entanglements with the angels. However, no one had personally witnessed the fallen Archangel, who had his wings broken, and therefore didn't dare speculate on the connection between Wan Nian and him.
What is certain is that Wannian and the other small bosses, or anyone else, are different to Mephistopheles.
"——The two of them are kissing!"
With the loud announcement in the baby voice, this pink rumor that had been the subject of all kinds of speculation and betting was finally confirmed.
The skeleton servants and headless ghost servants looked at each other (although none of them had a real "face"), and little bubbles of gossip almost popped out from between their bones.
Finks's impression of Mephistopheles was not positive. Unlike Qian Xing, he did not lecture the child not to listen. Instead, he raised his eyebrows with interest: "Oh, that kid has reached this age too?"
The Hell Demon always appears as a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, and people often overlook the fact that he is also an original monster that has lived for tens of millions of years.
Li Jue responded with the same request he made to Qian Xing, full of anticipation: "Baby, you want to kiss your brother too!"
Finks kissed his cheek, feeling a bit of indescribable melancholy: "When you grow up, will you also..."
Li Jue blinked, not understanding what he meant.
What will he be like when he grows up? Will he kiss others? But he kisses his brothers now, so what's the difference?
Just as Zizi was about to ask a question, he was interrupted by a cold voice: "Don't teach children nonsense."
They turned around and saw the Sea Monster King, who had just finished inspecting the layout of the venue, standing not far away with an uneasy look on his face. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with what the Golden Dragon had said to the small system before.
Finks said nothing, looking at him with a half-smile.
Li Jue opened his eyes wide and looked at the two closest parents. His gaze moved back and forth between them several times before he suddenly realized: "Isn't it just like Mimi and - um -"
Finks covered his mouth to prevent him from spreading more gossip to the world.
Lida, Liuying, and Feihua were standing together. It was a rare opportunity to watch their boss gossip without worrying about overstepping boundaries. Of course, the girls wouldn't let this go easily: "Baby, you know so many little secrets."
"Oh, kids actually know more than they appear..."
"Yes, it's amazing how fast children grow up."
“Sometimes you still have to avoid it…”
They laughed and joked. Lin Wang and Will turned their heads to look up at the sky and down at the sky respectively, trying to cover up the corners of their mouths that were twisted and twitching. Even Yanshi couldn't bear to look at it, so he walked over to Miaoling and Lingxi to try to distract their attention.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively."
At this moment, the master of the hell world finally finished his personal business and came out from some corner.
Li Jue was the first to express his welcome: "Brother Meimei!"
He flapped his wings and almost hit Finks.
The golden dragon compared the devil's wings, angel's wings and his own dragon wings at close range, and curled his lips secretly, thinking that the dragon's wings were still more handsome.
Mephistopheles opened his hand, a ball of black mist condensed in his palm, and placed it into Li Jue's little hand: "A birthday present for you."
Zizi held the ball of mist curiously, and it slowly dissipated in his palm until only a smooth, frosted piece remained.
A bone.
To be more precise, a goat bone.
"The first sheep bone on the altar dedicated to the evil god in the world." The little devil winked at him, "In the name of the devil, bless little Sweet Bean to be immune to all poisons."
But it's not just in name. Mephistopheles has imbued it with spiritual power and carries the breath of the Lord of Hell. No monsters would dare to approach it.
Li Jue admired and thanked him sincerely, then put the sheep bones into his small backpack.
It was already filled with gifts, including pearls from the underwater palace, dragon scales from the golden dragon family, and a piece of rhinoceros horn that had fallen off from Ling Xi.
The parents all gave the most precious part of themselves, or the part that represented their existence, to the cub, just so that they could still be with them when they were not around, and to declare to all those with ill intentions: I am protecting this cub, so don't have any bad ideas.
The party reached its climax when the old maid Gwen pushed the eighteen-layer cake, which was two meters high, to the center of the venue.
Just putting candles on this special big cake is enough to keep everyone busy.
Several big bosses stood nearby, taking turns holding the cub. Li Jue, fetching water, had to switch arms every once in a while. The three of them weren't done yet; Miao Ling also stood eagerly nearby, wagging her tail and purring like a kitten, eager for the little angel to be carried on her back again.
If it were in the past, no one would have thought that the big and small bosses from various sub-worlds could actually gather together, not only not drawing swords against each other, but also having a lot of fun.
The event that called on them to do this was actually the birthday of a little system cub.
Li Jue is the Band-Aid of infinite space, connecting each sub-world with their masters in an exceptionally gentle and sweet way.
They submit to the Lord God because of His power to conquer everything and command all living beings.
But for the little Son of God, it was done willingly and out of something called "love".
After finally putting all the candles in, Mephistopheles snapped his fingers, and the flames on all the candles burned together, instantly making the cake tower brighter than the colorfully decorated Christmas tree next to it.
The three usually very majestic big bosses started a childish quarrel over who should hold the baby to blow out the candles:
"This is my world, right? Of course it's my turn?"
"Isn't it obvious that the baby and I are closest?"
"You don't know how to take care of children."
"But now Sweet Bean is my system!"
"He doesn't belong to any one person."
"Who nearly dropped him last time?"
"Brother Qian Xing, you can't keep dwelling on that incident!"
"You've been disqualified, little brat."
"snort."
Everyone thinks that they are the most important and beloved one to Li Jue.
The three of them looked at Li Jue together: "Baby, who do you choose?"
The little cub twisted his body to get down, looked up at all the adults, and then, under the expectant, competitive, and determined gazes of his parents, he chose without hesitation—
Ayaki.
The adults had gloomy faces as they saw the boy, who did not fight or compete but became the final winner, holding the cub's hand and easily climbing to the top of the cake tower with the help of Miaoling. There was always an indescribable subtle feeling.
Li Jue flapped his little wings, and the angel's white wings wrapped around Ling Xi, and his little face was flushed by the candlelight.
Although my brothers are also very good.
But, I like Xixi the most, I like her the most!
