In just a few seconds, Saji used up all his acting skills, going from bewildered, incredulous, shocked, aggrieved, and pleading for help. It was rare to see such an emotional expression on that fierce dog's head.
Gloomy man: ...
"Lord, are you courting death?"
The gloomy man squatted down and asked the octopus seedling, but the octopus seedling, separated by a dog, couldn't answer him. It just flapped its tentacles, looking somewhat confused.
Where's Zhou Jinze? Why is it dark?
Sage trembled for a long time before finally spitting Qianyuan out of his mouth with the gentlest of movements.
Oh, it's still daylight.
Qianyuan sat on the ground, looked at Saji, then at the gloomy man, and found that Zhou Jinze was nowhere to be seen.
Even the people he knew in the base were gone.
The cub doesn't care where it is; the cub only wants a guardian.
"babble--"
The little octopus fry called out to Zhou Jinze, but as more and more monsters gathered, it still couldn't see Zhou Jinze.
The baby octopus belatedly realized it was a little scared.
He quickly stepped back to hide at Saji's feet, staring at the group of strange, large creatures, tears welling up in his eyes that he couldn't hold back.
"Why are you crying? Oh my god!"
When the octopus fry cried, the monsters panicked even more than Qianyuan herself. They said that protecting their cubs was their racial instinct, but in reality, none of these guys had any experience in raising cubs. After all, they had been in the monster horde for so many years, how could a cub suddenly appear?
"It's all over, it ...!"
In an instant, every dog that passed through the chaos would be trampled by these panicked monsters.
"What to do? What to do?"
The monsters asked each other, and all the heads sighed in unison, "I don't know either!"
"Wait, the cubs might be starving."
No one knows who said that, but Saji immediately jumped up, picked out a lucky bystander, tore off a small piece from his body, and fed it to the octopus fry.
Qianyuan cried but didn't stop eating. He smelled the delicious food and instinctively opened his mouth, swallowing as he went.
"Slow down, slow down." Sage fed the octopus fry little by little, afraid that it would choke.
"So they really are hungry? Looks like we'll still raise the cubs after all."
The monsters discussed amongst themselves, but all felt much more at ease.
The octopus larvae were so tiny, but after eating a small piece of the monster's body, their bellies were already bulging.
He couldn't even sit up; he could only lie flat on the ground. When he looked down, his lower belly bulged out like a small hill, blocking his view.
"belch."
Qianyuan was so full that he started burping and blowing bubbles. He had just started to feel very full and his stomach was a little sore when his body began to absorb spiritual energy.
With a soft "poof," the sudden surge of spiritual energy transformed Qianyuan into a young boy.
Saji opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Qianyuan shrank back into a cub.
And so, Qianyuan was as if she had been kneaded and rolled for a long time before she finally stabilized back into her cub form. The little one was completely terrified and burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Waaaaah!"
Qianyuan cried and wiped away her tears, while still leaving a small gap between her hands to peek at people. The little girl cried for a long time, but when Zhou Jinze still didn't appear, she realized that she was really doomed.
His tears flowed in large drops, as if he were about to cry himself into a dried octopus.
This has truly thrown the realm of chaos into disarray.
Everyone pulled out all the stops, whether it was for hunting, scaring people, or feeding—anything that could soothe the cubs was handed over.
The cub paused for a moment, then realized that it had been surrounded by those severed heads, limbs, tentacles, and the like without even realizing it.
cub: ...
The monsters had no idea what happened next. They only saw a flash before their eyes, and then chaos roared and drove them all away.
Chaos is actually similar to the mother nest where Qianyuan was born, and it is also the home of other monsters. However, Chaos only accepts the control of Qianyuan. It has been sleeping with Qianyuan for a long time and has not made such a commotion.
Saji had never seen such a scene before, but he couldn't care less about that. He could only put the crying baby back in his pocket and go back to the real world to find a solution.
He went directly from house to house to disturb the low-level monsters hiding in the nooks and crannies, most of whom were corrupted humans or other things that still remembered some of their habits from their previous lives.
However, they can't take care of the children.
The woman with the umbrella huddled in the corner nearly dropped the cub; the non-existent shadowy figure just blindly followed any moving object, completely incapable of caring for a child; and as for the boy trapped in the school, he was utterly speechless.
Are you crazy? Hiring a middle school student with a ghost-like personality to babysit your child!
Having no other choice, Sagi ended up staying under the window of a human family, spying on how they raised their cubs.
They even stole the toy rattles they used to soothe their cubs.
Unfortunately, Qianyuan doesn't care about anything right now. When she nestled in Saji's arms, her crying subsided a little, but the cub still only wanted her guardian to appear.
The hardest part was that Qianyuan couldn't speak, so Saji and the others couldn't understand what she meant. The two of them just kept at it until Qianyuan cried herself to sleep.
After spending the entire afternoon rocking the cub and being showered with its tears, Saji asked, "What's wrong? Is it the end of the world? Why does it suddenly feel so quiet?"
The gloomy man muttered, "The master is asleep."
"call--"
Saji breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put the cub down, but the cub opened its eyes again as soon as its back touched the ground.
Saji: !
He looked even more haggard than when he was being chased by the enemy for three days and three nights.
The gloomy man said, "How about... we ask those other humans to take care of the kids? At least they seem to be doing a pretty good job."
Saji: "...No, we can't leave our master alone in the human's lair. Besides, I had thought about bringing back the human that our master marked, but the power our master gave him was too strong, and I couldn't do anything about him."
Gloomy man: "Or we could stay there with our owners? We could even supervise them taking care of the puppies."
Saji: "Great idea! Qing Lianye, this is the first time you've been so clever!"
Qing Lianye said, "I've always been smart, it's because you're so stupid. With three heads sharing one brain, I'm afraid your CPU will burn out."
Saji: "CPU? When did you learn this newly invented human term? Oh, you died too young, I always forget you were once human too."
Qing Lianye remained silent for a long time. He was someone who had fallen into demonic possession and willingly allowed himself to be corrupted when humans still possessed immortal power and were still cultivating thousands of years ago.
Upon entering the Demon Realm, they discovered that it was completely different from what was described in human stories. In short, it was a direct take on Chinese fantasy, juxtaposed with the Cthulhu mythos of the deep sea and starry sky.
The creatures inside were strangely shaped, like fish in the deep sea, growing randomly as no one was watching, so he completely understood why Qianyuan was frightened.
After all, he had spent thousands of years with these guys, and had become a gloomy, reclusive person.
