Chapter 70 Chapter 70
Satan, who was still immersed in the lamb's call of "Uncle", then noticed Carl.
Carl's humanoid suit looks like a middle-aged man with a very ordinary face. The only flaw is the two ordinary horns on his head.
Seeing him holding the lamb with a vigilant look on his face, Satan thought that they were father and son, and felt a little regretful. He suppressed his smile, stood up and said, "It's getting late. Even if I go and find someone now, it will be night when I come back, and it will not be convenient to repair the car... I think how about this, you two come to my house to rest for a night, and then come to repair the car tomorrow morning. It will be convenient to hit the road then." He really wanted to help the lamb.
The jackdaw standing by frowned as he looked at the lord who was rarely friendly.
Yumi thanked him quickly and turned to ask Carl, "Do you think it's okay?"
Carl secretly looked at the white-haired monster a few times. There was indeed no malice in this man's eyes. He was probably just attracted by Yumi's cute appearance and actively helped... There were many wild beasts outside at night, and he was not familiar with the terrain nearby. It was quite dangerous to stay in the RV with Yumi for a night. Of course, it would be better if someone could provide a place to stay.
Looking at the clothes these two people were wearing, they were made of more luxurious fabrics than in the Garbage Planet. I don't think they would covet anything from them, not to mention that he was carrying weapons. Thinking of this, Carl felt more relieved: "This is the only way... Thank you, sir. If there is a hotel nearby, we can go directly to the hotel to avoid disturbing you."
"There are no hotels around here," it was Jackdaw who spoke this time. He didn't want to let strangers into the lord's house, "but I can drive you there."
"How can you be so hospitable?" Satan smiled and looked at Yumi and Carl. "Don't listen to him. My house is close to here and I have extra rooms. There's no need to live farther away... By the way, is your car nearby?"
Yumi nodded and raised her hoof to point in a direction, "Over there."
Satan looked in the direction of his hoof and said, "Oh, I see. Then please stay at my house for one night. I will ask the repairman to follow you at daybreak. This will save time."
"Thank you so much! You are so nice!" said Yumi.
"Don't be polite, it's just a small favor." Satan's expression was too friendly. "Excuse me, are you father and son?"
"No, we are good friends. We went out to play together. On the way back, our car suddenly broke down... Fortunately, we met you."
Satan said "oh" in surprise, he motioned to Jackdaw to drive the car to the side of the road, then made a gesture of invitation and led them all the way to the approaching car.
Yumi had already gotten down from Carl's arms. The lamb's short legs could not match the monster's long legs, so he almost jumped forward. Satan in front of him deliberately slowed down his pace to keep himself and the lamb parallel.
The white-haired monster opened the car door and invited them in like a gentleman.
Carl looked at the license plate and saw that it was indeed a Pearl State car. The car itself was worth a lot of money, so the owner must be a kind-hearted wealthy person.
Carl carried the lamb into the car, and the white-haired monster sat in the passenger seat. On the way, the other party didn't say much, except to remind them that there was drinking water in the car.
The car arrived at its destination before dark.
The moment they got off the car, Yumi and Carl looked at the manor in front of them in amazement.
Although Carl thought that the other party was a rich man, he never expected him to be so rich. Although he was knowledgeable, owning such a manor on the garbage planet obviously required extraordinary strength.
After entering, the white-haired monster personally arranged guest rooms for them.
Seeing that he wanted to split the room into two, Carl said quickly: "We can just use one room. He is small, so a small bed will do." He was worried about Yumi sleeping alone in a strange place.
Yumi nodded, "Yeah, we'll share a room."
Satan turned around and called his servants to bring a small bed in later.
Servant: "Yes."
Yumi: "Thank you so much."
Satan smiled and shook his head, then led them to the dining room, where many servants were already serving the dishes.
Yumi, who originally regarded Satan as a hunter, now had some concerns and walked slowly.
Satan invited them to take a seat. He glanced at the lamb's confused look and said with a smile, "I forgot to mention it before. I am actually the count here. You can call me Dan."
……count?
Yumi looked at Carl inquiringly. The two sat next to each other. Carl whispered, "There are some rich people in Pearl State who call themselves earls..."
So that's how it is. Since he is a count, he must observe the proper etiquette. The lamb watched Carl stand up and salute, and he also quickly stood up from his chair and bowed to Satan.
Seeing the lamb leaning forward with its hind legs slightly bent, Satan was speechless for a moment.
Oh my god, there are people like this in the world...so cute, it would be a shame not to adopt them.
As soon as Yumi sat down, she saw the earl opposite her staring at her without blinking. He said, "You haven't told me yet, what's your name?"
"Ah, my name is Yangyang! This is my friend Pangolin, and we both live near the Skull State." Yumi immediately gave herself and Carl new aliases. After all, the previous alias Xiaoyang was Yang Shura, and it would be bad if it caused trouble if it told others about it.
Karl heard that he said all fake names, and nodded in cooperation: “Yes.”
"Yangyang? What a nice name..." Satan seemed to be thinking about something. "May I ask how old your father is? Was his original form also a sheep? Sorry, I don't mean to pry into your privacy. After all, you are too small. I am just curious..."
Yumi lowered her head: "My parents died early..."
Satan was startled, then said: "If I were your parents, I would definitely be reluctant to let you go. You are still so young, how can you live alone? Why don't you use a human form, could it be..."
"Well, I'm disabled, but it's okay. My life is not affected." It is rather dangerous to transform into the original human form in Pearl State. Since she is only staying here for one day anyway, Yumi decided to lie for the sake of safety.
“…”
Satan stared blankly at the smiling lamb in front of him.
He seemed to be shocked at how tough this little lamb was.
All the dishes were served, and Jackdaw forced a smile and invited them to eat.
Yumi responded and started eating the broccoli that Karl had helped him pick up. He was enjoying it when he suddenly heard a bitter voice from the other side: "I've always wanted to have a child, but there's never been a chance... Yangyang, if you don't mind, I can adopt you. Let's be father and son, okay?"
?
The lamb almost coughed up the broccoli in his mouth. Carl quickly helped him breathe. Seeing that the lamb's pink mouth was no longer choking, he immediately looked at the count and asked, "Excuse me, what do you mean by that?"
Satan raised an eyebrow, "As you heard, I want to adopt him."
Yumi put her front hooves on the table and tilted her head to look at him in confusion.
Jackdaw didn't expect Satan to be so reckless and straightforward. However, even if he didn't support his actions, as a subordinate he had to keep the situation stable. He stood up and explained to the lamb, "Our earl is kind-hearted. He felt pity for you after hearing about your life story and didn't want you to continue living a lonely life. You are in your original form and small in size. It must be difficult for you to live on the garbage planet. The earl wants to help you."
"...Thank you." Yumi frowned and bowed again, "Count... maybe you can't see my human form, so you misunderstood. I am already an adult and don't need anyone to take care of me. I even have a lover. I am just small in size, but I am an adult. I have lived independently for a long time."
Satan looked at him with a smile. After a brief silence, he leaned forward and said in a seductive tone, "There are often people on Garbage Planet who need to be taken care of in their 40s. Who says that adults don't need care? Besides, the father-son relationship has nothing to do with age... Don't be nervous. I just think we are destined to be together, so I want to adopt you as my adopted son. I won't regret having a son to inherit my huge family business. As for lovers... I certainly won't interfere with your love life. Yangyang, let me be your adopted father."
Yumi: “…”
There was total silence at the table.
The corners of Karl’s mouth twitched, and he squeezed the chopsticks hard.
It is not known whether it is fortunate or unfortunate that the prince is not present at this time.
The jackdaw's face was darker than the bottom of a pot. He had never expected the lord to be so absurd! Are all cute animal lovers like this? Adopting a stranger is fine, but also wanting to let him inherit the family property? The lamb would be stupid to refuse!
"I'm sorry, I really don't need an adoptive father, Count. Thank you for your kindness." Yumi refused directly.
Jackdaw: ...awkward, scratching my head.
Satan seemed surprised that the lamb would reject him, but he still had some sense. Noticing the lamb's nervousness, he sighed regretfully: "Okay, I respect your wishes... and please don't let my words affect your mood."
"No, we appreciate your help." Yumi said, and looked at Carl, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
After this, the Earl never mentioned the subject of adoption again.
The dinner was very sumptuous. The Count asked the chef to add some vanilla flavor to the food. Yumi ate very full. After the meal, she and Carl discussed in the bathroom that they must leave a suitable amount of money before leaving tomorrow.
Although the earl was kind, they could not eat and live for free.
The Earl seemed very sorry for his sudden remarks during dinner. He didn't even dare to look at Yumi while sending them back to their room. He just told them to have a good rest and the mechanic would come early the next morning.
Yumi thanked him several times.
As she closed the door, Yumi couldn't help but sigh, "There are still many good people in the world."
Carl hummed vaguely. He always felt that the count was a little strange, but since he was in the same room with Yumi and had been watching over Yumi all night, he was confident that he could keep an eye on the other person.
The room is spacious, with a large bed and a smaller wooden bed.
The wooden bed was very soft. Yumi was afraid that her wool was dirty, so she didn't touch it. She just looked at it for a few seconds and went to take a shower.
The lamb's body was soaked in the bathtub, feeling dizzy. When he felt he was done, he stepped out of the bathtub carefully, filled it with water, and walked to where Carl had placed the hair dryer. He pressed the switch with his hoof, stood at the wind outlet, and blew for a long time. When he felt dry, he ran out with a happy hoof: "I'm fine!"
Carl was eavesdropping on the noise outside behind the door, but the servants hardly spoke and he didn't hear anything strange. When he heard the words, he turned around and saw the lamb walking out half dry and half wet.
He immediately exclaimed: "Why don't you ask me to blow dry your hair for you?" Sheep's hoof couldn't hold the hair dryer well.
"You put the hair dryer in a position that's just right for me. I think I can dry my hair." The lamb smiled, completely unaware that his wool was a mess, as if it had exploded.
Karl thought it was funny, so he took a bath towel to wrap him up, rubbed him, and then took out a hair dryer to blow dry him again: "You will get sick if you don't blow dry before going to bed."
Yumi hummed embarrassedly. He had just seen his crazy look in the mirror.
After blowing the hair, Carl combed his hair with a comb. Yumi's wool was short, so it was very convenient to comb.
After making the lamb in front of him look nice and tidy, Carl went to wash up with satisfaction.
It was late at night, and Youmi was lying on his side on his little bed. He looked at the empty pillow and couldn't help but think of his boyfriend who had gone far away.
I don't know when Anxius will be able to reach Birdman Star...
Is it really safe over there?
However, the people of Sna Star would definitely not recognize Anxius in his current appearance.
Speaking of Planet Sna, can Ansius really fight against the entire royal family...
With all kinds of doubts, the lamb clasped her hooves together in tiredness, praying that everything would go well for her boyfriend.
This was a very deep sleep.
However, after waking up the next day, Yumi and Carl, who had just washed up, suddenly found that the door could not be opened!
At first, both of them thought that the door lock was broken, so they shouted for help. After only a few shouts, they heard a familiar voice outside.
Yumi recognized that it was the other person who had followed the Count on his hunt last night.
"Stop shouting, the door lock is not broken, it's the lord who locked you up."
Lord?
Yumi continued to knock on the door with his hoof: "What Lord? Sir, please open the door for us, I think you made a mistake..."
The jackdaw outside the door said helplessly, "Let me tell you straight, the earl you saw last night is our Pearl State's Lord Satan! To be honest, our Lord would never do such a thing, but you, you meet his standard of being adopted son too well. You didn't want to be his son last night, so he locked you up and raised you..." As he spoke, he felt that the Lord was shameless, coughed and continued, "I know you are innocent, but don't be afraid, the Lord just wants you to be his adopted son, he won't hurt you."
Yumi stood there with a question mark on her face.
This matter was so absurd that he couldn't understand it for a while.
Carl quickly checked the doors and windows of the house, and found that they were all sealed. Even if he could break out, there must be people guarding outside... Seeing that he couldn't leave in the right way, Carl couldn't help but look at the place where the secret weapon was hidden under his clothes.
Yumi came back to his senses at this time. He slammed the door and said, "Don't do this... People outside, open the door quickly. We will pay for accommodation and meals. Don't lock us up!"
"I've already said that this is the Lord's will, and we are just following his orders."
“…”
Yumi paced back and forth anxiously, but was soon comforted by Carl who squatted down and touched her head: "Don't panic, there will be a way. That person has already said that at least the lord will not hurt us."
"I'm not panicking," Yumi said softly, his front hooves pressed tightly together. "Don't panic, either. We can definitely get out."
Carl nodded. He was about to quietly tell Yumi about his plan to use a secret weapon when the count's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Are they up?" It's Satan.
"Well... Lord, why don't we let them go? Isn't our top priority to deal with the Evil Ghost State? We haven't dealt with Yang Shura yet, and there's no rush to adopt a child..."
When they heard "Evil Ghost State" and "Sheep Shura", Yumi and Carl's expressions changed at the same time.
Yumi quickly pricked up her ears and pressed against the wooden door.
"Who said I can't be impatient? I've been looking for a compatible child for so many years but couldn't find one. Now I finally meet one, and you want me to not be impatient?" Satan sneered, "As for the Evil Ghost State, didn't you say that we have to wait for the generals to come back? Then let's talk about it after they come back! Anyway, sooner or later I will kill that Yang Shura with my own hands!"
"But……"
Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the jackdaw seemed to be pushed open, and Yumi's ears were immediately startled by the knock on the door.
He quickly took a step back, only to hear Satan outside the door change his previous rudeness and said in a pinched voice: "Good morning, Yangyang, are you up?"
...As if someone else was the one who imprisoned them.
Yumi didn't know what to say. He didn't speak, but the monster outside was a little anxious. They thought something had happened to him and immediately forced the door open.
The moment the door opened, Carl wanted to rush out holding Yumi, but what appeared in front of him was not a clear intersection, but an extra iron gate.
Yumi/Karl: "..."
How is this different from going to jail?
Through the iron bars, Satan saw that the lamb was fine, and his tense face relaxed a little.
Yumi glared at him, "Why are you locking us up?"
The lamb's eyes were black and sparkling. Satan felt guilty when he was stared at. The lord who once killed people without blinking an eye turned his head away awkwardly and said, "You should know that I am the lord Satan here."
"So what if I know?" The lamb stepped straight on the ground with its hooves, looking up and glaring, "I thought you were a good person... Please let us out!"
Seeing that Satan remained indifferent, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bad guy! You are illegally imprisoning me!"
"Bad guy? How could I be a bad guy?" As the monster said this, he seemed to be amused by the words "illegal imprisonment". He squatted down, put his head close to the iron bars and looked at him, his eyes full of love, "Baby, I am your father."
Yumi's hooves were shaking with anger.
Satan bowed his head and said, "I am not imprisoning you. I am adopting you. If you don't want to, I will have to keep you. I will take good care of you. When you recognize me as your father, I will certainly not keep you locked up like this. It's just that you are too unhappy now, and I really have no choice."
Yumi stiffened her neck: "...Then I agree now, don't bother me."
"Do you think I will believe it?"
“…”
"I am the lord of the Pearl State. If you become my child, you will be the little lord in the future, and the entire Pearl State will be yours... I really don't understand why you don't want to be my child?" Satan seemed really distressed.
Yumi stared at him angrily.
Satan laughed.
After a few seconds of confrontation, Yumi took a deep breath and asked seriously: "Excuse me, have you been lonely for too long?"
"What?"
"How can you force someone to have a child for you? If you need a child so badly, you can find someone who is willing to adopt it. You imprisoned me. This behavior does not show any fatherly love at all!"
Satan's expression changed slightly: "You don't understand. If you wanted, I wouldn't keep you locked up like this. I..."
"You don't want a child at all, you want a pet, right?" Yumi mustered up the courage to continue glaring at him, "Do you really think I will be like a pet, locked up for a while and then kiss you? Do you really think so?"
Satan's eyelids jumped, and he looked at him calmly. Is there anything wrong with this? When they were rain dragons, some rain dragons would steal other people's eggs and raise them. Some even stole other people's cubs and raised them. As they raised them, they would kiss each other. Is there anything wrong with this?
In silence, Karl said: "My Lord, Yangyang is not an animal. He just can't change back to human form. He doesn't need your forced adoption. Please let us go as soon as possible. We can still treat it as a misunderstanding."
Satan's behavior is like being moved by the cuteness of stray cats, so he "kidnaps" the poor stray cats instead of buying them to give them a home. However, Yumi is not a stray cat, so of course she doesn't need to be adopted.
Yumi was right, Satan simply treated people as pets.
"...Pet?" Satan's face began to turn pale. He stood up and said with almost gritted teeth, "You are obviously my precious son! You think I will let you go? No way!" Staring at the lamb, his gloomy face suddenly changed again, and he smiled frighteningly, "Baby, Daddy has something else to do, so I'll leave first. Remember to eat well at home. Daddy asked the chef to make your favorite vanilla pizza today. I'll come to see you when Daddy is done."
Yumi: “…”
After Satan left, the jackdaw seemed unable to bear seeing the lamb's desperate expression, so it brought breakfast and hurriedly closed the door and left.
The room became quiet.
Yumi pouted and fell to the ground. He looked at the pizza and milk in front of him and poked the angry Carl: "Let's eat, otherwise we will be exhausted."
Carl thought he was hungry, so he lowered his head to share the pizza. While he was busy, he was thinking of a solution. A few seconds later, he saw the lamb approaching him with its hooves on its heels...
When Carl turned his head, the lamb was already close to his ear, laughing softly: "Carl, I just did it on purpose, let's not leave for now. You also heard that this lord wants to deal with the Evil Ghost State, so we are here to obtain intelligence in advance... This is a rare opportunity."
Carl was dumbfounded: Is Yumi going to be a spy?
The lamb blinked at him, looking confident of victory.
