Inside the tent, a rough-looking man in armor had joy on his face, holding a baby wrapped in a cloak in his arms.
The baby was incredibly adorable, his skin as white as the first snow of winter, wrapped in a dark cloak. His eyes were closed, his pink mouth slightly pouting, as if he were having a sweet dream.
The deputy commander excitedly showed the child to the handsome man in front of him, lowering his voice, "Look at this child I picked up. What a beautiful boy! He's so pretty. Commander, there's no one around here who can adopt him. How about we keep him?"
The general looked at the child with a deep gaze. The man quickly patted his chest and promised, "I'll go find goat milk for him. I won't bother anyone else!"
Mu Miao opened his eyes in a daze, and the world in front of him became clear from being turbid, and he also saw the familiar face - Xi Yunchi.
Mu Miao actually didn't have much expectation of meeting Xi Yunchi in the new world. After all, his luck was so bad, but he never expected to see Xi Yunchi as soon as he entered the new world.
"ah……"
As soon as Mu Mu spoke, he realized that something was wrong with him. He looked at his short limbs and chubby hands, his pupils trembling. [001! Woo, 001, I turned into a baby. Why is the person I turned into a baby this time?]
After understanding the background of this world, 001 said solemnly, "Little fool, you haven't become anyone else. This is you. You have returned to your larval stage."
Mu Mu's emerald green eyes were filled with astonishment. He carefully felt this body. Although its power was immature, it was obviously of the same origin as his.
How is this possible?
Mu Miao couldn't believe it. It was impossible for their clan to go back to the past when their own people existed. It was not that no one had tried, but the final result was that two [nothingness] in different time and space existed at the same time, causing the collapse of time and space.
Mu Miao: [Is 002 already this strong? ]
001 remained silent.
Things have come to this point, no matter how unwilling Mu Mu is, he must admit the fact that he has turned back into a baby.
The man gasped when he saw Mu Miao's strange eyes, and couldn't help but look up at Xi Yunchi, but it was too late to block the little guy's eyes.
He hugged Mu Mu anxiously, "Commander, this child may not be human, but he is really well behaved. Look, he hasn't cried for such a long time."
“Woo…”
The sound of sobbing followed his words. The man's face froze and he subconsciously reached out to cover Mu Mu's mouth.
The next second, his hand was intercepted in mid-air by Xi Yunchi. The deputy commander was surprised, "Commander?"
"Woo..." Mu Miao pouted her little mouth and opened her hands towards Xi Yunchi, leaning forward towards him. A childish and aggrieved whimpering sound came from her pink little mouth, and her big round eyes stared straight at Xi Yunchi.
It seems like he is accusing me, why don’t you hug him?
Xi Yunchi pursed his lips tightly and picked up Mu Mu with a slightly stiff movement under the deputy commander's surprised gaze.
His movements were awkward, yet full of tenderness.
Mu Mu's porcelain-white face was quietly pressed against the heavy iron armor. She shivered at the cold touch and tried to prop up her soft body and leaned her little face against Xi Yunchi's face.
When she touched Xi Yunchi's warm face, Mu Miao immediately stretched out her hand, reluctantly hugged Xi Yunchi's neck, and pressed tightly against him.
A smile flashed in Xi Yunchi's eyes. He gently touched Mu Mu's small face, which was not even as big as his palm, with his thumb and index finger. As he turned around, he whispered, "Mu Mu, is that you?"
Mu Mu tried to nod his head, "Ah!"
Xi Yunchi pinched his chubby little arms and legs, looked at the doubt that emerged in Mu Mu's bright green eyes, lowered his head and bit his chubby face, with regret in his tone, "I didn't expect you to become like this..."
The baby's whole body was filled with the pleasant scent of milk. Xi Yunchi didn't know that Mu Mu's current appearance was exactly what he looked like when he was a child. He thought that Mu Mu had another identity.
He let out an imperceptible sigh. If Mu Mu's brother saw this, he would definitely suspect that he had some unspeakable habit.
In fact, Xi Yunchi also had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.
Mu Miao nestled in Xi Yunchi's arms, looking up at him intently, and suddenly asked: [001, what are the identities of the players in this dungeon?]
001: [Except him, everyone else turned into strange mythical beasts.]
But in the Dharma-Ending Age, the rarer the existence, the more likely it is to be hunted down.
Mu Mu's little hands tightly grasped Xi Yunchi's cloak. "Does that mean I've met Xi Yunchi before, when I was still a baby?"
Even the blessed [Nothing] is very fragile during its infancy. Like human cubs, it is ignorant and cannot remember anything during this period.
001: [It's very likely that if he has an identity in this world, his soul will automatically return to his body once he returns to this world. Even 002 can't change this.]
Mu Miao leaned on Xi Yunchi's shoulder and leaned over to kiss Xi Yunchi on the cheek.
It turns out we've met so early.
Xi Yunchi smiled and rubbed his head, "Grow up soon..."
When the deputy commander saw Xi Yunchi directly carry away the little guy he picked up, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.
Especially when he saw Mu Miao kissing Xi Yunchi, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xi Yunchi became even more bitter and resentful. It was clearly him who picked it up, but this little guy didn't even say hello to him!
The man, who was as tall as a mountain, had a face full of grievance and resentment.
Xi Yunchi turned a blind eye to his subordinate's complaints. He wanted to chase him away. "Didn't you say you were going to look for goat milk? Why haven't you gone yet?"
The deputy commander said weakly, "Yes..."
Mu Miao was very grateful to the person who brought him back. He poked his little head out from Xi Yunchi's arms and smiled at him with curved eyebrows.
The cute little girl can melt the heart of a hard-hearted man without doing anything, let alone smiling at people in such an innocent and cute way.
The deputy commander covered his heart with his hands. If he hadn't taken Xi Yunchi's presence into consideration, he would have hugged Mu Mu and rubbed him. How could there be such a cute little cub!
"Good boy, wait for your uncle. I will go find you something to eat. Be good." The deputy commander patted his chest and assured Mu Mu. He turned around and went to look for the sheep with great momentum, as if he was going to rob the whole ewe family.
Xi Yunchi placed Mu Mu on his bed, untied his cloak, and found a soft blanket to wrap him up in. "There are no children's clothes here. I'm sorry to have to let you wear this for now."
Mu Mu was wrapped up like a silkworm and rolled around on the bed, "Ah~"
He doesn't mind, as long as he's not naked.
Xi Yunchi was extremely surprised to see Mu Mu's appearance. The eyes of this body of Mu Mu were exactly the same as his real appearance. The emerald green eyes seemed to contain infinite vitality.
He could imagine how cute Mu Mu must have been when he was a child.
Since this body originally belonged to Mu Mu, he adapted easily and was crawling all over the bed in no time.
During this time, Xi Yunchi kept staring at him to prevent him from falling off the bed.
Mu Mu was tired from struggling, so he opened his arms and asked Xi Yunchi to hug him. When he was in Xi Yunchi's arms, he pointed outside the tent with his short fingers and said, "Ah."
Xi Yunchi looked down at him and asked, "Want to go out and take a look?"
Mu Miao nodded.
He hasn't seen what this new world looks like yet.
Xi Yunchi wrapped the blanket around him tighter. Now his posture of holding the child was much more standard, and Mu Mu's experience in his arms improved a lot.
Outside the tent, the sun was blazing brightly. Tents of all sizes came into view. Mu Mu saw many soldiers patrolling in unison. When he saw Xi Yunchi, he bowed and saluted, "Commander-in-Chief!"
Their backs were straight, but their eyes would occasionally look at Mu Mu curiously.
One of them was brave enough to ask curiously, "Commander, why are you holding a baby?"
These soldiers knew in their hearts that even though their commander was handsome and charming, he was still a lonely man who was unwanted by everyone.
How come he was suddenly holding a baby that was only a few months old?
Xi Yunchi casually said, "My family's."
He swept his cold gaze over the group of people, "Have you completed today's training? Do you need additional training?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers didn't dare to ask any more questions. They shook their heads in fear and fled in all directions.
Mu Miao saw that Shi Yunchi got along very well with this group of people. It was not a false courtesy, but a sincere emotion between brothers who shared life and death.
Perhaps unconsciously, there has been some fusion between the past Xi Yunchi and the present, or perhaps they have influenced each other.
He looked at the soldiers passing by with curiosity. A few young faces would deliberately make faces at him after looking at him, but once Xi Yunchi looked over, those people immediately stood up straight and put on serious expressions.
Mu Mu smiled, revealing his bare gums.
Xi Yunchi saw it and stretched out a finger to touch his pink gums. They were soft, with a little bit of white faintly visible inside - they were small baby teeth that had not yet grown.
"Hmm!" Mu Mu's eyes widened, and an inexplicable sense of shame came over him. He covered his mouth with both hands to prevent Xi Yunchi from touching him, and buried his head on Xi Yunchi's shoulders, hiding his face.
Xi Yunchi chuckled and stopped teasing him, "Do you want to know my current situation?"
Mu Miao raised her head, looked at him, and blinked.
Speak quickly.
Xi Yunchi told him while walking, "In this world, I am loyal to the Liang Kingdom. Liang Kingdom recently went to war with the most powerful Daqi Kingdom, and I am the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by the Emperor of Liang Kingdom."
Mu Miao's eyes flashed with worry, "Ah..."
Can you beat that Daqi?
Xi Yunchi understood his gaze and shook his head frankly, "We can't win. The gap between Daqi and Liang is too big. Starting a war is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock. Of course, Liang is the egg."
Xi Yunchi knew that the system wanted to kill him, so this was a dead end for him.
But he could sense that there were other fragments in this world. As long as one fragment existed, he would not truly die. The only difficulty was Mu Mu.
He looked at Mu Mu who was still in his infancy. What would he do if he died?
Mu Mu's heart sank. He understood what Xi Yunchi meant. He was now the commander-in-chief, so naturally he had to live and die with the soldiers of Liang.
If Xi Yunchi goes against his character in order to survive, the system can also destroy him.
This is the real dilemma.
When Mu Miao thought about Xi Yunchi's death, tears filled his eyes and the area around his eyes turned red. He couldn't control himself and burst into tears, "Wuwuwuwu..."
Babies don't care about right or wrong, they just cry when they are sad.
Xi Yunchi panicked instantly and patted him on the back gently, "It's okay, Mumu, you know I won't really die."
"At best, I am just a fragment of the original body, simply fused with more fragments. I promise, I will find you and return to your side."
Mu Mu just looked at him with tears in her eyes, her small body twitching with sadness.
He can't even speak now and can only express his emotions by crying.
Slowly, he accepted this fact.
The course of the world will not change for anyone. Even if he is the so-called "God" in the eyes of the world, Xi Yunchi cannot avoid the fate of death.
Xi Yunchi continued to walk forward holding Mu Mu, and they arrived at the tent of the wounded.
Dozens of doctors were busying around, the strong smell of blood filled the air, and the wailing of soldiers who were missing limbs could be heard everywhere.
Xi Yunchi was worried about scaring Mu Miao, so he just stood outside the door and didn't go in.
He looked at the soldiers with pained expressions and lowered his eyes. "It's strange, this world feels very familiar to me. Everyone in it seems like I've known them before. I know their names as soon as I see them."
Mu Mu's mouth moved, but then closed again.
He couldn't tell him that this was the life he had actually lived.
At this moment, the deputy commander who had been out looking for ewes came running over in a hurry. "Why are you here? I've tied up all my sheep with the little guy."
Xi Yunchi introduced Mu Miao, "His name is Ji Meng, he's twenty-four this year, and he's been leading troops in battle for nine years."
The State of Liang no longer had the military strength to sustain the war, and the young children could only follow the adults onto the battlefield and face ruthless fighting.
Ji Meng urged Xi Yunchi to go back, smiling innocently, "Hurry up, I squeezed a bowl of goat milk for this kid, it won't be good if it gets cold later."
Mu Miao really wanted to tell Ji Meng that he actually didn't need to eat. In order to enter adulthood, [Wu] must have sufficient spiritual power, and ordinary food is of no use to them.
But after all, it was someone else's kindness, so Mu Miao didn't refuse. Seeing the affection in Ji Meng's eyes, he opened his arms towards him and said, "Yeah."
Ji Meng's breath paused. He excitedly wiped his hands on his clothes, his bronze skin slightly flushed. He looked at Xi Yunchi in disbelief, "Is he asking me to hug him with this action?"
Xi Yunchi tried hard to tell himself that Mu Mu was just a baby now, and it was normal for a baby to be carried around.
"Um."
Ji Meng almost laughed out loud, and carefully hugged Mu Miao over, laughing heartily, "Oh, it's not in vain that I picked you up, you should kiss me, right?"
Mu Miao exclaimed in support.
As Ji Meng laughed, his eyes began to moisten. His eyes turned red and he lowered his head and took a deep breath, but he could not control the surging tears.
He held Mu Mu in one hand and wiped his tears with the other, trying hard to pull the corners of his mouth, "Oh, it's embarrassing. I made a fool of myself by letting you, a little kid."
"I... I was just wondering if my kid was also this clingy when he was this old... but the daddy he was clinging to is not around anymore..."
Ji Meng went back to get married two years ago. After his wife became pregnant, the war on the front became urgent, so he had to return to the battlefield without stopping.
There were a few tears on Mu Miao's face. He wiped them with his clenched fists, and then patted Ji Meng on the back like a little adult.
Ji Meng couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying while hugging Mu Mu.
Xi Yunchi tried hard to control himself and not to snatch Mu Miao back.
After a while, a young soldier came hurriedly and said, "Commander, there is a man in green outside. He said his brother is with us and he is here to look for him."
When Mu Miao heard this, his first reaction was that Brother Xiran had come, but then he thought again, Brother Xiran was still a child at this time, so the one who came could only be... Mu Zi.
