After Qian Yuan explained, he finally left the police officer's office. He was exhausted from walking, but the palace was still a long way off.
The little guy sighed, his pitiful appearance drawing glances and pity from passersby, and some kind people even offered to help him to his destination.
The little guy started rummaging through the money the system had stuffed into his pocket, but the kind person refused it, saying:
"You look like the young prince, that's why I gave you a ride. From now on, you must love and respect the young prince just like we do!"
Qianyuan: I'm numb.
It seems that becoming a savior isn't a good achievement; those who are already obsessed with him will only become even more fanatical, worshipping him like a religion.
But won't Dad mind?
The orcs now worship not the current orc king, but a deceased crown prince.
Qianyuan was a little worried, but then she thought about it and realized that her father was so capable that he must have his own reasons.
Does he need to worry about such a mature and stable father? Of course not!
Shen Qianyu is indeed different from other fathers. He is more restrained and has the reliability and sense of security of an older person. Qianyuan feels more at ease whenever she thinks of him.
The little guy couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.
If Dad sees him again, he will definitely be happy again.
As Qianyuan pondered this, she arrived at the palace. It happened to be the time of patrol change, and there was no one outside. Qianyuan went straight to the door, scanned her iris against the smart recognition machine, and a voice immediately came from above:
"Welcome, Your Highness."
The access control was easily opened by Qianyuan.
The body the system created for him was a one-to-one replica, except for the lack of his previous strength and bloodline, including Qian Yuan's own appearance and genes. Therefore, the permissions his father had originally granted him could now be accessed.
However, even Qianyuan herself was a little surprised.
He was just trying it out, but he didn't expect his dad to actually not delete his permissions.
It's been so long already...
Qian Yuan recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier and realized that Shen Qianyu's grief was something he could not comprehend. It was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing, yet it was also silently hidden in the details.
He could no longer maintain his good mood, so he could only raise his hand to wipe his eyes and slowly walk inside.
Qianyuan first went to her father's study.
He opened the door, but his father wasn't there. Surprisingly, the things inside were arranged exactly as he remembered them.
"Isn't he/she here...?"
The little guy muttered to himself, but could only continue walking inside until he reached his and his father's bedroom.
Qianyuan pushed the door open again and paused for a moment.
Compared to the previous study, the bedroom bore even stronger traces of his presence; everything seemed to have remained unchanged from yesterday.
It was as if the days since Qianyuan left had been paused.
Shen Qianyu desperately tried to freeze time before Qianyuan left.
The little guy looked at the traces he had left behind with a complicated expression, and for a moment, he seemed to feel the same emotions as his father.
What is Dad thinking when he comes home every day and pushes open this door?
When he looks at the toys and traces left by his cubs, is he reminiscing or feeling sad?
Shen Qianyu paused time and left herself in the past.
For more than 300 days, he never came out of it.
Qian Yuan's heart ached terribly. He walked step by step to Shen Qianyu. The hibernating snake buried its head in a circle of dolls, as if it could only fall asleep in the scent left by its cubs.
"dad……"
The little guy cried and sobbed as he climbed up.
Shen Qianyu, who had been sleeping in a cold environment, suddenly felt no longer cold.
It felt as if a warm feeling had come in and surrounded him, making him feel less uncomfortable.
Shen Qianyu loosened its coils a little, and the tip of its tail was already touching Qianyuan's body.
But as he tried to sleep, he kept hearing someone crying, and the crying grew louder and louder, making it hard for Shen Qianyu to fall asleep.
Then it seemed as if someone was wiping tears off his scales. As they wiped, they couldn't help but pick at them, lifting up his scales to see if the culprit hidden inside was still there.
After a while, Qianyuan couldn't resist taking a small brush to brush the dust off her father's scales. Halfway through brushing, the child felt that her father's scales were the perfect size, cool and refreshing, and suitable for chewing on.
How come he didn't realize before that his father's scales were perfect for him to use for teeth grinding?
Wait, why is he grinding his teeth? Is he a puppy?
The little guy, lost in thought, felt a warmth spreading through his body and slowly transformed into a tiny beagle still in its prime.
"Wu? werwer?! werwerrrrr——!"
Shen Qianyu was finally woken up from her deep sleep by Qianyuan.
Hearing the pitiful sound so close to his ear, he opened his eyes and saw a small, short-haired dog with big ears and big eyes howling at the sky in front of him.
Shen Qianyu suspected that she was hallucinating.
He looked up and called to his assistant, "Did I eat the mushrooms that the aliens sent me for lunch? How come there's a dog on my bed?"
At this moment, the puppy stopped howling and looked pitifully at Shen Qianyu.
The little one whimpered, making that affectionate, clingy sound a baby makes when talking to its parents.
Daddy, it's me! It's your little one!
The little one rolled over and wanted his dad to touch his belly.
Shen Qianyu paused for a moment, then transformed back into human form and picked up the puppy:
"baby?"
The little guy wagged his tail even more enthusiastically.
Qianyuan's fur is a little lighter than other Beagles, and its eyes are larger and more watery. Its high eyebrows always give it a pleading expression. It has a round head, a round nose, and a chubby muzzle, and it smells like a puppy when it yawns.
