Chapter 94 Dad, why don’t you look back at Momo?
In order to comfort Shang You with reason and evidence, He Zhimo hesitated for a moment and pulled off the small blanket wrapped around his forehead.
Revealing the two small horns on the forehead.
Although he was still a little scared, he still told Shang You.
"Actually, Youyou, I also have some weird horns growing on my forehead..."
Shang You stared blankly at the two transparent blue and white hairy horns on He Zhimo's forehead. As He Zhimo's head shook, the two horns shone with a golden luster.
Seeing her staring at him with her eyes wide open like a fool, He Zhimo raised his hands to cover his two little horns with a little uneasiness and asked in a muffled voice: "Is it very scary? Did it scare you?"
Shang You came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's not scary."
He Zhimo finally breathed a sigh of relief, took his hand down, and continued to calm his face and comfort Shang You:
"Youyou, we're not monsters. It must be because we've been locked up in this place for too long that these... weird things have grown on our bodies. Everything will be fine once we get home!"
Shang You's eyes were still red: "But how can I get home? I, I can't even stand up now..."
"Don't be afraid, I'll carry you."
He Zhimo rolled up his sleeves layer by layer as he spoke, then turned around and squatted in front of Shang You, patting his back with his little hands, "You You, come up, brother will carry you."
Shang You hesitated for several seconds, then carefully lay on He Zhimo's back. When she realized that He Zhimo stood up with her on his back, her two little hands on his shoulders nervously clenched.
I thought He Zhimo would stagger and fall while carrying her, but He Zhimo carried her steadily and straightened his thin shoulders, "Youyou, hold on tight."
"Um."
Shang You was afraid of hurting He Zhimo, so she hugged his neck instead.
She lay on He Zhimo's shoulder, watching him carry her to the front of the coral reef for a while. Her nose started to sour again, and tears could not be controlled and fell on He Zhimo's neck. "I miss my mother so much..."
He Zhimo paused, his face drooping slightly, "I miss you too. I miss my mom and dad."
He Zhimo also wanted to cry, but he was Shang You's brother now, so at least he couldn't cry when Shang You was so scared.
He took a deep breath, turned his head and coaxed Shang You, "Youyou, don't be afraid. I believe that whether it's mom or dad, they must be looking for us. We will be fine."
Then, he made a serious promise to Shang You: "Brother promises you that as long as I am here, I will never let any bad guys hurt You You!"
Shang You nodded and silently wiped away the tears from her face.
I originally wanted to tell He Zhimo that I would protect him, but when I looked down at my immobile calves, I had to shut my mouth and keep silent.
He Zhimo carried Shang You on his back as he walked, stopping and starting, trying to follow the coral reefs as much as possible.
If they could not avoid encountering a large patrolling monster, He Zhimo would ask Shang You to close her eyes in advance, then carry her on his back and hide behind a cave. When the monster was far away, He Zhimo would lower his voice and say, "You You, you can open your eyes now."
Shang You just opened his eyes, and caught a glimpse of something in his peripheral vision. He looked towards the back of the cave, his pupils dilated instantly, and he gently pushed He Zhimo's shoulder, and whispered a reminder: "Brother, look there——"
He Zhimo turned around and looked over where Shang You pointed.
The water palace not far away opened, and silver-white shimmering light bands floated on the waves, forming a natural water curtain.
On both sides of the water curtain, the huge monsters that frightened the little cub were like two rows of giant black shadows kneeling on the edge of the water curtain.
Immediately afterwards, a cold figure as white as snow walked out from the open palace door.
Although he only saw a fleeting side profile, He Zhimo recognized it as his father in an instant. He didn't care about bumping into those monsters and almost immediately chased after him with Shang You on his back.
“Dad, Dad!”
He Zhimo finally grabbed a piece of snow-white clothes and panted hard. Before he could see his father's face, the black-tailed monster next to him blocked his way and prevented him from getting close to his father.
He Zhimo carried Shang You on his back, feeling anxious and aggrieved. He looked up at the familiar figure and cried incoherently.
"Dad, I'm Momo! Why don't you look back at Momo? Dad, Youyou and I have been locked up here for a long time. We are so scared. And Youyou's leg is injured and she can't walk. Dad, can you help Youyou?"
However, the person called by He Zhimo didn't even turn his head.
He merely paused for a moment, and the aura around him automatically created an invisible world like an icy peak.
Extending from both sides of his forehead were translucent blue dragon horns with a warm, hard, cold jade texture. The indifferent and stern features of his face did not show the slightest ripple due to the crying of the cub behind him.
Those eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of eternal frost, slightly pressed down, and glanced at the wrinkled sleeves that had just been torn, and the water flow instantly restored them to normal.
Only then did he retract his cold gaze and walk deeper into the water curtain.
He Zhimo was still struggling behind him, calling him aggrievedly, "Dad, Dad, don't go, don't go... You, you don't want Momo anymore..."
But no matter how he cried and shouted, that person never turned back, not even for a second.
The figure was so indifferent that it seemed as if he didn't know He Zhimo at all, or perhaps, he didn't care about the life or death of the cub at all.
He Zhimo and Shang You were brought back to the ice crystal palace by two black-tailed monsters.
He Zhimo squatted on the cold ground in silence. This time it was Shang You's turn to carefully wipe his tears.
After a while, He Zhimo pursed his lips and said to Shang You as if to comfort himself: "Youyou, I must have recognized the wrong person just now. He is definitely not my father..."
Shang You silently withdrew her hand, feeling just as downcast: "But I also saw that he looks exactly like Uncle He."
Hearing this, He Zhimo held back his tears with a sullen face, obviously about to burst into tears, but he tried hard to stare, a little dazed, and asked Shang You dryly: "Why."
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to understand why he didn't want me.
Shang You looked at him silently for a while. Even though her calf was still painful, she still tried to move it over. She hugged He Zhimo with her two small hands and patted his back, "Brother, hold me."
He Zhimo sullenly uttered a "hmm" and hugged Shang You. With red eyes, he tried to comfort himself again, "No, it's okay."
He Zhimo was angry with his father in his heart and secretly swore that if his father didn't come to apologize to him in person, he would never talk to his father again.
But this kind of anger did not last for half a day.
He Zhimo suddenly discovered that Shang You had fallen asleep at the table at some point.
He Zhimo originally thought that Shang You was tired and sleepy, so he wanted to carry Shang You to the bed. However, he got burned as soon as he touched Shang You's little hand.
Moreover, thin, transparent blue scales continued to grow on Shang You's calves. The more He Zhimo looked at them, the more frightened he became. He called out to Shang You, "You You, You You, wake up!"
But no matter how he shouted, Shang You didn't respond at all.
He Zhimo panicked and carried Shang You on his back again. He ran to the stone gate and raised his little hand to knock on the door anxiously. "Open the door, open the door quickly! You You has a fever!"
He was so worried that he cried and begged—
"Dad, please open the door! Youyou is sick, and I can't... wake you up... Dad, please save youyou, Dad, Momo, please!"
