Chapter 158
The sky is getting brighter outside the window.
The two babies in the crib in the room woke up early. Before they started crying, they were discovered by Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi held one in each hand and asked them to come to Ming Qiao for a look.
"Brother is sleeping, don't make any noise."
Zhu Yi said quietly: "You guys go out to eat."
The two babies blinked their round eyes and nodded.
They knew that their eldest brother always had trouble sleeping, so they didn't let them make noise and they listened to him.
Seeing that the two babies were cooperative, Zhu Yi carried them to the door and called the servants.
"Feed them, and then take them outside to play."
"yes."
The servants took the two babies away and left the palace in a clean and neat manner.
Without the two babies, Zhu Yi returned to the palace and sat down beside the bed again.
Ming Qiao, who was lying on the bed, was sleeping with a rosy face.
He grabbed the quilt with his two little hands, and his rosy face grinned from time to time.
Zhu Yi knew that he was very happy in his dream.
I don’t know how long I slept.
The sunlight outside was shining on Mingqiao's butt, but he was not woken up by the sun, but by his rumbling stomach.
He clenched his little hands into fists and rubbed his eyes.
"Are you awake?"
A clear voice sounded in his ears, causing Ming Qiao, who was still a little confused, to loosen the fists that were rubbing his eyes.
He opened his eyes blankly, and said in a slightly sticky voice: "Godfather."
"Um."
Zhu Yi responded and then picked him up.
"It's getting late. You should get up and eat. If you're still sleepy, wait until you've finished eating before going back to sleep."
While Zhu Yi was talking, he put on little clothes for Ming Qiao just like before.
The clothes he prepared for Mingqiao were all new.
Mingqiao sat on the bed and let him put on her clothes.
The clothes were hung with small jade ornaments that jingled.
Ming Qiao touched these small jade ornaments and felt a little nostalgic. He hadn't worn such clothes for a long time.
“Does it look good?”
Ming Qiao got dressed and stood up, tugging at the corner of his clothes with his chubby hands.
"nice."
Zhu Yi was wearing the same style as him.
Although the adult and the child are wearing the same clothes, they give people completely different feelings.
Zhu Yi's figure and appearance meant that the less he wore, the more seductive he would be.
And Mingqiao, the chubby little boy, with his soft flesh exposed, has nothing to do with temptation.
wrong.
He's also a bit of a temptation.
His fat arms, legs and belly are all very tempting to be pinched.
At least, Zhu Yi couldn't resist his temptation.
Zhu Yi pinched his soft belly, with deep and delicate eyebrows and a smile: "Our Qiao Qiao is very suitable for wearing this."
"Godfather is also suitable."
Ming Qiao said sweetly: "Godfather is handsome, he looks good in anything he wears!"
Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows and said without any modesty: "It's natural."
The two changed their clothes in the bedroom and went to eat together.
At the dinner table, Ming Qiao couldn't help but share his dream with Zhu Yi.
"A dream tapir came into my dream. It was small and had a big mouth!"
Ming Qiao held the spoon and picked up the dream tapir, extremely excited.
He spent the entire meal talking about the nightmare tapir.
After dinner.
Zhu Yi picked him up from the chair and was about to take him somewhere else to play when he suddenly grabbed one of her fingers.
"Godfather, did you find the Nightmare Tapir for me?"
Zhu Yi: “…”
Zhu Yi did not answer.
He didn't answer, but Ming Qiao could guess: "Before going to bed, you said you would find a nightmare tapir for me."
"Then I dreamed about the nightmare tapir. You must have found it."
Ming Qiao didn't know how Zhu Yi found it.
He looked at Zhu Yi curiously, questioning her with his eyes.
Seeing that he wanted to know, Zhu Yi paused for a moment before finally speaking: "I found a nightmare tapir."
"Do you want to see it now?"
"think!!!"
Ming Qiao nodded vigorously, and he asked happily: "Can I see it now?"
The book says that nightmare tapirs never appear during the day.
This little ball is timid by nature and only appears in people's dreams at night.
“Yes.”
Zhu Yi gave Ming Qiao an affirmative answer.
He held Mingqiao's chubby little butt and was about to take Mingqiao out to play, but he didn't go out.
He turned around and carried Mingqiao back to the bedroom.
He blocked out the light in his bedroom.
In the dim room, the bedside table was opened, and a small white ball was lying quietly in the corner.
The little dumpling is just like in the dream, very small in size.
It was covered in fur, but its fur did not emit a soft light like it did at night.
It lay there quietly, looking cute and harmless.
Ming Qiao squatted at the door of the cabinet, staring without blinking, not daring to breathe loudly.
"It sleeps very deeply during the day, so you can hug it and it won't wake it up."
Zhu Yi saw Ming Qiao's love for the dream tapir and encouraged him to reach out and hug it.
Mingqiao hugged him in her dream.
But in reality, he has never hugged her.
He looked back at Zhu Yi. Under Zhu Yi's encouraging gaze, his face flushed as he reached out and hugged the little ball in the corner.
The little ball is very soft and bouncy when I hold it.
Mingqiao held the little girl in his arms and imitated the language of the nightmare tapir.
“Chichi.”
He chirped, his beautiful round eyes full of smiles.
This is what the little tapir called me in my dream yesterday.
Zhu Yi heard him chirping and also smiled.
"I heard that the nightmare tapir can not only dispel nightmares, but it can also sing."
"The songs it sings can soothe people and bring them a good mood."
"Qiao Qiao, this nightmare tapir is yours from now on. Take good care of it and wait for it to sing for you."
"OK!"
Mingqiao had never raised such a rare little ball before.
His eyes sparkled, he hugged the little girl, and gave Zhu Yi a pouty kiss.
There is light in the day.
The tapir doesn't like light and only likes to sleep in darkness.
Ming Qiao held the little tapir in her arms and stayed in the palace for half a day. Finally, she went out to play with Zhu Yi.
The little dream tapir was put back into the closet and was still sleeping soundly.
The sunlight outside is just the right intensity.
Ming Qiao remembered that when he first came to the Demon Realm, there was no big sun in the Demon Realm.
It was only later, when he wanted to bask in the sun, that it happened.
He is in poor health. The doctor said that sick children like him need to get more sun.
"Godfather."
Ming Qiao followed Zhu Yi out, eating, drinking and playing, while talking to Zhu Yi: "Don't you usually go out?"
Zhu Yi was slightly startled: "Why do you ask that?"
Ming Qiao blinked and replied honestly: "I think your face is whiter than before, as if you haven't been exposed to the sun."
"My grandfather said that staying indoors all the time is bad for your health."
Mingqiao's own little body is always cared for by others.
And he will care about others.
Zhu Yi listened to Ming Qiao's words and said without comment: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
He said there was nothing wrong with his body, and Ming Qiao raised her hand to touch his face, feeling inexplicably worried.
Time passes by little by little.
Zhu Yi took Ming Qiao to wander around the demon world.
Ming Qiao feels that the demon world today is more acceptable than before.
He also specially recorded the scenes of the demon world from the crystal ball.
"Take this back to my father. He might want to see it."
"Well, show him. If he wants to come back--"
Before Zhu Yi could finish his words, he swallowed them back.
Wu Ye ascended to the upper realm, and his entire family ascended there.
How could he possibly want to come back?
If it were me, I would never want to go back to this place.
"Godfather, I'll bring daddy with me next time!"
Before Mingqiao left, he was already looking forward to their next meeting.
He said: "Now that Grandpa Tree has the Heart of Plants, the passage between the upper and lower worlds can be reopened!"
The passage between the two worlds is opened, and I wish Yi can continue on the path to ascension.
Even if Zhu Yi can't ascend, it doesn't matter.
Ming Qiao hugged Zhu Yi's neck, with a bright smile on his chubby face. He promised Zhu Yi: "When I miss you, I will ask Grandpa Tree to take me down again!"
Ming Qiao's promise brought warmth to Zhu Yi's eyes.
"OK."
Zhu Yi leaned over and touched his nose: "Godfather is waiting for you to come again."
The old and the young strolled around for most of the day. Although they talked about meeting next time, it did not mean that their meeting this time would end.
Mingqiao promised Zhu Yi that he would stay for a few more days.
When Ming Qiao was accompanying Zhu Yi, he could neither get a word in nor join the team. Seeing You Qing as such a redundant person, he simply stopped following them.
You Qing was in the demon world, asking about the news about the crow tattoo.
He informed Lintian Sect of the clues about his mother.
Lintian Sect was also helping him investigate.
It is easier for the Lintian Sect to investigate things outside the Demon Realm, but the Lintian Sect’s power still cannot reach into the Demon Realm.
Therefore, if You Qing wanted to get information here, he had to come by himself.
Thanks to Mingqiao's service, You Qing also gained some privileges in the demon world.
He instructed the boss, who was still waiting for news between him and Mingqiao and wanted to get close to Mingqiao, to take him to the black market.
You Qing was busy looking for information, and the two babies were busy exploring the Demon Palace.
Ming Qiao is also busy.
He was busy spending more time with Zhu Yi.
"Godfather, aren't we going to that place?"
Ming Qiao, who had visited many places, suddenly pointed his chubby hand in a direction and said to Zhu Yi, "We haven't been to the back of the Demon Palace yet."
“It’s not fun there.”
Zhu Yi didn't even look at the direction Ming Qiao pointed. He just reached out and held Ming Qiao's chubby hand: "We should go back for dinner. Yiyi Erer must have missed seeing you."
After bringing out the numbers one by one, Ming Qiao immediately gave up the idea of going to the Demon Palace.
He hadn't seen the two babies for most of the day.
soon.
Mingqiao saw Yiyierer who had already started eating in the dining room.
"Pot!"
One One Two Two also saw him.
Ming Qiao ran over with his eyes curved and distributed the little toys he had bought during the day to the two babies.
"It's up to you guys. Play after you finish your meal."
Yiyi's and Er'er's meals were all ready, so Mingqiao's meal would naturally not be left unprepared.
It seems that the chefs in the Demon Palace have been replaced by a new batch, and the food cooked by this batch of chefs tastes very good.
Mingqiao was very satisfied with the meal.
After he finished eating, he did not lie down to sleep immediately, but moved slowly in the yard.
He was walking in the yard and the two babies were crawling in the yard.
Zhu Yi lazily leaned on the bench in the yard, watching the activities of the three little ones.
There is a breeze blowing.
Ming Qiao tilted her pretty, soft face towards the wind.
He squinted his eyes in comfort as the evening breeze blew on him.
“That’s great.”
At this moment, Ming Qiao suddenly felt very good from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Yi curled the corners of his lips as he looked at the little fat boy who was sighing there, and it seemed as if nothing else could penetrate his eyes.
The only thing he had eyes for was this little fat cub.
The yard was large and 112 were already full. After following their eldest brother to crawl for a while, they could no longer climb.
"Guoguo, wake up!"
Yi Yi was the first to open her little hands and let her big brother hold her while she slept.
Er Er was afraid of being left behind, so she opened her arms and made sounds, asking for a hug.
Ming Qiao couldn't carry both of them.
"Brother is holding your hands."
Ming Qiao held their little hands one by one and let the others hold them to sleep.
The two babies fell asleep quickly, and after they fell asleep, Ming Qiao let go of their hands.
"Godfather, don't sleep here. Let's go back to sleep."
Ming Qiao took care of the two babies, turned around and saw Zhu Yi with his eyes closed.
He hurriedly ran to Zhu Yi, pushed Zhu Yi up, and prevented him from sleeping here.
He pushed hard, but Zhu Yi did not wake up.
"Godfather? Godfather! Godfather, what's wrong with you!"
Ming Qiao couldn't wake Zhu Yi up and suddenly became scared.
He looked at Zhu Yi as if he was in a coma.
Just when Ming Qiao was so anxious that her eyes turned red and her little hand reached out to check Zhu Yi's breath, Zhu Yi, who seemed unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.
His sudden opening of his eyes startled Ming Qiao.
The tear bubbles in Mingqiao's eyes suddenly shattered.
"Wow, wow, what's wrong with you? Did you pass out?"
Ming Qiao cried with her face up, and she looked really scared.
Zhu Yi held him against her body and said in a normal tone, "Don't be afraid, I didn't faint, I just fell asleep."
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll tell you before I fall asleep next time."
Zhu Yi's comforting lasted for a long time before Mingqiao stopped crying.
There is wind outside. The wind was cool just now, but Mingqiao has cried now. If she sees the wind again, she will easily catch a cold.
Zhu Yi knew that he had to take good care of his little body, so he didn't stay in the yard for long.
"Let's go back first."
Zhu Yi got up from the bench and carried Ming Qiao back to the palace.
The temperature in the palace is warmer than outside.
Ming Qiao's tear-stained face lay listlessly on Zhu Yi, "Godfather, is there really nothing wrong with your body?"
"No."
No matter how many times Zhu Yi was asked, he always gave this answer.
His big hands rubbed Mingqiao's little head from time to time, and said to Mingqiao: "You don't have to worry about my health all the time, I will be fine."
"You, just focus on yourself."
Zhu Yi paused for a moment as he said this. After a while, he whispered to himself, "There are so many people in Tianjun Realm taking care of you, why haven't you recovered yet? Can't they think of a solution?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in these words.
Before Mingqiao could explain himself, Zhu Yi continued speaking.
"They can't think of a solution, but I have one."
"Qiao Qiao, do you want to be healthy from now on? Like other children, grow up well?"
Ming Qiao: “I want to!”
Mingqiao dreams of becoming a healthy child.
But he knew that this wish was difficult to realize even in a dream.
"Well, whatever our Qiao Qiao wants...will come true."
Zhu Yi's tone was as calm and certain as when he said last night that he would find a dream tapir for Ming Qiao.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Mingqiao's little face, and repeated it again.
"Our Qiao Qiao will be healthy and grow up safely soon."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Under Zhu Yi's gaze, Ming Qiao felt inexplicably panicked.
He didn't know what he was panicking about.
But he vaguely felt that such a good thing, where you can achieve whatever you want, would not happen for no reason.
"Godfather, do you have a wishing tree?"
Zhu Yi: “?”
Zhu Yi: "What?"
Ming Qiao looked at him steadily and explained, "It is a sacred tree where you can make wishes. No matter what wish you make, the sacred tree can fulfill it."
After he explained the wishing tree, Zhu Yi did not respond immediately.
This made Ming Qiao even more panicked.
"You can't use the wishing tree! If you make a wish at the wishing tree, you'll pay the price!"
Ming Qiao clearly remembers the disadvantages of the wishing tree.
Some people make wishes that come true after they die...
Mingqiao was afraid that Zhu Yi also had such a wishing tree.
"Don't be impatient."
When Ming Qiao was about to cry again, Zhu Yi finally spoke up and said, "I don't have the wishing tree you mentioned."
"Then how did you—"
Mingqiao wanted to ask him, how can you still fulfill my wish?
He didn't ask.
Zhu Yi pinched his mouth as if teasing him.
"Qiao Qiao, children shouldn't interfere in adult matters."
"Just be a good kid."
I wish Mingqiao wouldn't ask any more questions.
He pinched Mingqiao's mouth into the shape of a little duck, and when he saw Mingqiao getting puffed up, he laughed.
After laughing, he raised his hand and hugged the angry kid into his arms, coaxing: "Now go to sleep obediently."
The little dream tapir came out of the cupboard and waited quietly by the side.
It is waiting to enter Mingqiao's dream again.
Ming Qiao was pressed into Zhu Yi's arms and kicked his legs unhappily.
"I don't want to sleep, I'm not sleepy!"
"No, you're sleepy."
Zhu Yi covered his eyes with his big hands, forcing the cub to fall asleep.
The big and the small made a noise for a while. It was unclear whether it was because the calming incense in the palace was too effective or Zhu Yi was too good at coaxing the cub.
The baby, who was just complaining about not being sleepy, now fell asleep with his little head resting in Zhu Yi's arms.
His eyebrows were still tightly knitted on his sleeping face.
Zhu Yi raised her hand and gently smoothed it over.
The little dream tapir smelled the scent of dreams and whooshed into the dream.
With the little dream tapir around, Zhu Yi knew that Ming Qiao would continue to have a good dream without her company.
He stood up, covered Mingqiao with a blanket, and went back into the secret room.
This time.
Zhu Yi did not stay in the secret room, he opened a secret passage in the secret room.
This secret passage led to the back mountain where Ming Qiao wanted to go in the evening.
This back mountain is a forbidden place in the demon world.
Zhu Yi came here to make another sacrifice.
He wanted to offer a sacrifice to the gods.
He had seen the traces of God with his own eyes, and God told him—
Will fulfill all his wishes.
He has made two wishes to the gods.
The first time, just before Mingqiao went to the mortal world, he was just trying to make a wish to bring back Qiaoqiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He fulfilled this wish.
The second wish is the little dream tapir from yesterday.
He wished for a little dream tapir.
The gods answered him again.
Now, for the third time, the wish he wanted to make was for Mingqiao to recover.
Zhu Yi was originally a little wary of sacrificing his heart, blood and flesh. After all, he had no interest in seeking death.
But if he doesn't seek death, he doesn't have much attachment to this world.
Apart from the child he lost, Ming Qiao is now his last obsession.
He couldn't accept the possibility that Mingqiao would never grow up.
If this sacrifice could resolve his worries, he felt that no matter what he paid, it would be worth it.
If he were gone, Mingqiao would still have many adults around him.
But if Mingqiao were gone, Zhu Yi, who had already lost a child, felt that she would go crazy.
"I want Mingqiao to be healthy and free from disease."
Zhu Yi ruthlessly took out his own heart blood, and he didn't even blink the whole time.
After completing the sacrificial ceremony, the result he wanted did not appear.
"not enough."
A blurry figure floated in front of Zhu Yi.
The man said, "Your sacrifice alone is not enough to fulfill your wish."
Zhu Yi looked serious and asked, "Just tell me, what else do you need?"
"I want a mass sacrifice of ten thousand people, I want—"
"Forget it, it's impossible."
Zhu Yi refused without even thinking: "Ten thousand people sacrificed, what are you dreaming about?"
No one cares about his life, and it is not worth worrying about.
He offered a sacrifice and it was a sacrifice.
This "god" wants tens of thousands of people to offer sacrifices, which is simply a pipe dream.
Zhu Yi is not a good person and has no sympathy for other people's lives.
He was unwilling to agree to this, purely because he knew that -
His little Qiao Qiao cannot be involved in so many causes and effects.
When it comes to Ming Qiao, Zhu Yi is smarter than anyone else.
Zhu Yi's direct refusal made the blurry figure in front of him freeze.
After a while.
The owner of the figure stared at Zhu Yi and changed the conditions again.
"I want a dragon bone."
He said, "There is a dragon without spiritual power, right here."
"Go and peel off his dragon bones for me."
"If you see the dragon bones, your wish will come true."
Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this new condition.
When has there ever been a useless dragon without spiritual power on the Cang Xuan Continent?
The gods gave him a rough location and asked him to slay the dragon?
The figure in front of him didn't want to guess what Zhu Yi was thinking.
"Go ahead."
The figure said calmly, "Don't come to me again until the dragon bone is brought to you."
Zhu Yi: “Yeah.”
Zhu Yi: “Got it.”
The already blurry figure completely disappeared into the air. Before fading away, Zhu Yi suddenly asked a question.
"Are you from Tianjun Realm?"
The speed at which the figure disappeared seemed to freeze for a moment, and in the next instant, he was completely gone.
Zhu Yi stood there for a while before turning around and leaving.
He returned to the palace, looked at Mingqiao who was still dreaming, lay down, and fell asleep with Mingqiao.
He just thought Mingqiao was having a sweet dream.
Little did Ming Qiao know that at this moment, he was in his dream, chatting with the little dream tapir.
The little tapir was timid by nature. After being teased by Mingqiao for a long time, it dared to talk to Mingqiao: "Chi, chi, chi?"
You, how can you understand what I am saying?
Ming Qiao also imitated him: "Jiji!"
I am from the Zhuling tribe.
The Zhuling tribe can understand many non-human languages!
He can understand what flowers, grasses, and even little animals say!
The little dream tapir usually has no other companions, let alone anyone to communicate with. Now, it has found someone who can understand what it says, and the whole tapir is visibly happy.
“Chichi.”
That's great, we can play together.
The author has something to say:
