Chapter 38
It takes a long time to bake the cookies. Xingnuo put on a light green robe and jumped out from the corridor of the castle like a tender bud on a branch in spring.
Chen Wen walked behind him, holding a small wooden shovel, with Xing Nuo's small figure reflected in his eyes.
There were three or four steps leading to the back garden on the north side of the castle. Chen Wen watched Xing Nuo squat down and try to jump down, but his breath went straight to his throat.
He frowned and raised his voice:
"Xingnuo, stop jumping!"
Xingnuo, who felt very energetic after a good night's sleep, had no correct understanding of himself at all.
It's just a small staircase, how could it be difficult for the brave little knight? !
Xingnuo continued to squat with his little butt sticking out, glanced at his father behind him and gave a soft smile.
The next second, Xingnuo clenched his fists, jumped hard, and tried to take off!
Unfortunately, just when the cub was halfway through taking off and before his little body flew out, Chen Wen grabbed him by the back of the collar.
The little robe Xingnuo was wearing today was soft and skin-friendly. When it was pulled, the back collar instantly wrinkled into a ball and stuck tightly on Xingnuo's little neck.
Xingnuo was lifted in the air, and his little mouth couldn't help but open and breathe out deeply.
"Oh, the kid can't float anymore!"
Xingnuo's little hands and feet flapped in the air for a few times, and after a while, they were put back on the ground.
Shen Wen had a cold face and reached out to hit the little guy's forehead hard.
"Do you still want to fly into the sky?"
Then, Shen Wen looked at the steps in front of him and took a deep breath.
"It's so high, almost taller than you, and you still dare to jump down?"
Xingnuo rubbed his little neck, looked down at the steps under his feet, and raised his little head to hum softly.
"You can do it, kid!"
Moreover, "The kid is obviously very tall!"
Xingnuo shouted super loudly.
It’s not like what dad said, it’s even lower than the steps!
Chen Wen pressed his forehead, feeling that it was only an early morning, but he seemed to have aged by dozens of years.
Is it so difficult to raise a child?
I don’t even know what I’m trying to achieve!
Just as Chen Wen was about to ask the little guy to behave himself, he turned around and saw Xing Nuo climbing down the stairs using his hands and feet.
Xingnuo ran into the small garden, squinting his eyes happily, with his curly hair swaying on top of his head.
He stretched out his hand and gestured, directly giving Chen Wen a difficult question:
"Dad, I want to plant cookies all over this place!"
Shen Wen: “…”
"...You might as well go to heaven, it would be simpler."
Xingnuo doesn't care about that. He is extremely sensitive to emotions. He could feel early this morning that his father's tolerance towards him has skyrocketed during the day!
Dad must have remembered the baby today!
Xingnuo stretched out one of her little feet and frantically tested the edge of Shen Wen's bottom line.
"Then grow small milk?"
Xingnuo imagined that the backyard was full of little cows, and the cubs could swim in the milk every day. His little face couldn't help but turn red with excitement.
Such a great idea, I should have thought of it earlier!
Chen Wen really wanted to hit the brat with the small gavel in his hand.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Wen restrained himself for a long time, but in the end he could only persuade himself——
Forget it, they’re my own children.
We are related by blood, so I really can't do it.
Chen Wen rubbed his brows and looked at the cub who was sticking his butt out in the flowerbed, preparing to dig a hole to plant milk. He suddenly felt confused for a moment.
Will Chen Wen encounter such a situation in the future?
Although Xingnuo is obedient, considerate and well-behaved most of the time, children will always have all kinds of sudden magical ideas.
Did the future self who raised Xingnuo really accept and tolerate everything about this brat?
Chen Wen couldn't guess, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He put down the tools in his hand, walked forward, picked up the little guy who was digging the hole and was covered in dirt, and swung it in the air a few times.
Xingnuo was shaken so hard that dirt fell down, and dust also fell off his hair.
The corners of Chen Wen's mouth twitched. He couldn't understand why digging a pit would turn out like this?
In just two minutes, the fair and tender little cub turned into a dirty little cub covered in dirt.
After Xingnuo was shaken around, his little head felt dizzy.
As soon as he put his feet on the ground, he leaned to the side unsteadily and sat down next to his father's legs.
"Dad, I feel dizzy."
Xingnuo shook his head vigorously and reached out to scratch, trying to stop the scene in front of him from spinning.
Chen Wen looked at the little guy and smiled.
When he smiled, the corners of his eyes would curl up, his beautiful fox eyes softened, and there was a light in his eyes.
Unfortunately, the words spoken were indeed cold and chilling:
"Then he must be sick again. Otherwise, ask the cook to make some medicine."
Xingnuo's face was suddenly filled with fear. He held his head and shook it hard. When he no longer felt dizzy, he quickly stood up.
"Don't feel dizzy, you can walk!"
Xingnuo took two crooked steps forward with his short legs, his little body swaying from side to side, hovering madly on the edge of falling.
But Xingnuo refused to fall. He stood up straight, straightened his back, and gave himself a compliment.
"You're walking very steadily!"
Chen Wen closed his eyes, wanting to block out this boastful brat.
With a slight sigh, Chen Wen carried the little guy to the stairs.
"Stand here and don't move. I'm going to weed this patch today."
Xingnuo didn't feel bad about being disliked. He nodded his little head vigorously and said "hmm" twice.
"Daddy works, little cookie."
Shen Wen: “…”
"...That's fine. Go find the chef and pastry chef and ask him to give you the cookies."
Stop swaying in front of him, it's giving Chen Wen a headache.
Xingnuo said "oh", and was afraid that his father would deny his promise again, so he took away the biscuits from his son and quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen.
The castle covers a large area, and there are several corners on the first floor alone.
If you don't live here for a long time, you might get lost while walking around.
Fortunately, although Xingnuo was in poor health, he had a good memory. He turned a few corners and came to the suspended living room in the middle of the first floor.
He panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
A faint blush appeared on her little face. Xingnuo was still weak after all. She lay on the sofa in the living room, unable to even move her little feet.
Xingnuo was curled up in a corner of the sofa, blocked by pillows and the sofa back. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell there was a cub here.
At this time, the players came to the living room.
At this moment, the servants were doing their morning cleaning and were scattered in various rooms, leaving the living room quiet and empty.
The bald player touched his head, looked at his teammates in front of him, and spoke in a low voice:
"What do you think of the suggestion from Inseam?"
They discussed for a long time last night, but in the end, no one was convinced and they parted unhappily.
The bald man somewhat looked down on the weak little owner of the castle who would fall down while walking.
The bald man did not feel any sense of terror or threat from any high-level monster from this little master.
Perhaps, the biggest weakness of this castle lies in the little master? !
As long as they catch this little master who is still breastfeeding, there is no need to threaten him. I am afraid that the little master himself will tell them how to pass this copy!
The bald guy has never been convinced by the crew-haired female player. From the moment he entered the dungeon, he has been holding the stinky feet of this little master, and his fawning is simply disgusting!
The bald man's teammates have teamed up with him for two dungeons and are considered to be among the few people who trust him.
But the teammate thought of what the female player with the crew cut had said, opened his mouth, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"But……"
"No buts! We may not be able to get the cook's soup tonight. If we lose our temper again, we will end up like that stupid player last night!"
Last night, the crazy player in blue clothes went to the garden alone to pick roses before night fell, acting crazy and looking for death.
Early this morning, players saw his broken limbs and arms in the flower garden.
An arm was lying across the rose roots, and in an instant all the blood was sucked out, leaving only dry and withered flesh.
The other players who saw this scene felt heavy in their hearts and closed their eyes, knowing that the path to picking roses was definitely blocked.
But they have not yet discovered the true secret of this copy, nor can they get the key to the castle.
They even had no idea what the key to the castle was or where it was.
The rules are pressing the players step by step. Once they don't follow them, they will fall into a crazy and irrational state.
The occasional glance from the core SSS+ monster Chen Wen would make players break out in cold sweats and become so frustrated that they wanted to kneel down on the spot.
With all these factors, players are faced with wolves in front and tigers behind, and they simply cannot afford to not fight!
"Wen Xingxue must have passed the level last night. I've heard some news about him before. The idea of clinging to someone powerful is no longer feasible."
The bald man was anxiously trying to smoke a cigarette, but when he realized that this was an ancient castle, he had no choice but to continue speaking with a sullen face:
"If I can't clear the level today, the chances of leaving the dungeon will definitely drop sharply."
Last night they used the invisibility charm to investigate, and for some reason the monsters did not actively attack them, so the players barely managed to survive another night.
But what about today?
They were now walking on a tightrope, and it seemed that there was no way out.
The teammate opened his mouth, grabbed his hair and couldn't help but growl:
"What is the secret of this dungeon? What does this crappy sunflower painting mean?!"
After cursing, the teammate said:
"It's impossible that this crappy painting was drawn by the young master? Is it to give us a hint of something?"
When Xingnuo heard the words "little master", the little head leaning on the sofa couldn't help but stick out, revealing a little bit of adobe hair.
Before the two of them could come to any conclusion, the female player with a crew cut came over first.
"What are you two doing?!"
The female player with a crew cut was running out of breath, and looked at the two people in front of her with a gloomy and unfriendly expression.
The bald man sneered with disdain on his face.
"Why do you care about me? Let's go our separate ways. Maybe I can get through and leave today! Who wants to play those hypocritical flattering scenes with you?!"
He's really had enough of those kids playing house!
The female player with a crew cut had her chest heaving. She took a few breaths and tried to help her former teammate.
"Now we just need to figure out why the sunflower painting suddenly appeared on the wall. This must be the secret of the copy. As for the key, the young master must know where it is."
As soon as the female player with a crew cut finished speaking, the bald guy snorted disdainfully.
"How could the young master have the key?! Didn't you notice that when the owner of the castle first saw him, his attitude was very cold. Maybe he is not the owner's biological son at all!"
These words were like a fierce bolt of lightning, striking down on the head of the little master Xingnuo who was eavesdropping on the sofa.
Xing Nuo was so angry that he pulled himself up from the sofa, showing his little head, and shouted at the annoying bald uncle:
"You said it! The cub is dad's biological child!"
Xingnuo's excited little voice was a little cracked.
