Bewitched: Age of Beasts

At this time, there was a slight cracking sound of "click, click" in the sacred fire pool, and the eyes swept away, and the fine lines on the red eggshell spread like spider webs.

Vermilion is coming!

I was clear in my heart and watched quietly.Getting out of the shell is a difficult process, at least that's the case with animals I've known.The cracks on the red eggshell were getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly the whole thing shattered with a 'crash'!

The eggshell caught fire, and the fire in the holy fire pool burned even bigger. In the blink of an eye, the eggshell had been reduced to nothingness. A white and tender doll less than three feet tall stood in the flames with big eyes open and stared at me. .

This is... vermilion?

The doll is about four or five years old, with red hair messily tied up on the top of the head, and a red feather dress that looks like a miniature version of the vermilion feather dress from before, with ruby-like eyes, a small mouth, and a pouted mouth. I feel very aggrieved.As if someone bullied him.

But who can bully a newborn child?

"Vermillion?" I called out tentatively.

As soon as the baby heard that I could call out his name, the next second he opened his arms and rushed towards me. "Daddy, daddy..."

I:"……"

How could I be his father? !

The shrunken version of Vermilion hugged my legs tightly like an octopus. I lowered my head and was about to pull him away, but he hugged him too tightly, and I didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting him.

"Brother Zhu Hong, do you still remember who I am?"

Zhu Hong Nirvana has explained before that he will turn into a child after his Nirvana, and it will take 49 [-] days to go through transformation before returning to the past. Even though I have been psychologically prepared, seeing him like this now makes me worry about him when he was a child How much memory is left.

The little Zhu Hong raised her pink and tender face and smirked at me, "Daddy, Daddy."

"What's my name?" I asked.

"Daddy, Daddy."

"Alas—" I was worried, and it was said that the newly born little animal would recognize the creature it saw at first sight as its parent, and he recognized the right gender but the wrong person.

Is it possible that I have to go back to my old job to take care of the children when they grow up?Although it is only 49 days, it is still a long time for me.This child Zhu Hong is different from Xiao Wu from my family. Xiao Wu is obedient and obedient, and he pays attention to himself, but the little ones around me... are all clingy!

I really didn't expect Zhu Hong to look like this when he was a child. Where did his nobility and holiness and majesty go? ?

"red……"

"Daddy, daddy..."

I sighed helplessly, took out the three-chapter talisman paper from my cuff, injected spiritual power, and a puff of smoke came out. Three origami birds flapped their wings and stopped in front of my eyes. I stared at the birds and said, " Seniors Bi Fang, Qingluan, and Chongmingniao, Brother Zhu Hong has hatched, please come back for something urgent."

The three little birds flew out of the sacred fire pool with fluttering wings, and it is believed that the three of them will receive the news soon.

"Daddy, Daddy."

The little man next to me grabbed the corner of my clothes and tugged at it. I took a serious look at him again. His eyes full of curiosity and joy were the same as the color of the eyes, and there was nothing similar to Zhu Hong's imagination.

Take little vermilion's tender white hand, let's go, I will take you back to the bedroom.

……

A few hours later, Bi Fang, Qingluan, and Chongmingniao rushed to the back hall of the Phoenix Hall.

After receiving my spirit-controlling paper bird, the three of them heard that there was something urgent, arranged the affairs around them without saying a word, and immediately flew back to the Phoenix Hall.

Little Zhu Hong obediently sat on the big bed covered with red feathers, opened her ruby ​​eyes and looked curiously at the three people who came one after another without saying a word.

Bi Fang came in a hurry, with an anxious expression on his face, "Mo Xuan, what happened to call us here so urgently?"

On the side, Qingluan and Chongmingniao also looked at me with questioning eyes.

I turned my head and glanced at little Zhu Hong who was sitting on the big bed, wondering in my heart, didn't the three of them see that Zhu Hong became smaller?Or was he not at all surprised by Zhu Hong's shrinkage?

He raised his finger and pointed to Little Vermilion behind him. Nass mistakenly thought that I called him, and immediately turned over and picked me up, and ran to hug my arm, "Daddy, Daddy,"

Now the faces of the three of them changed, I was relieved, they finally found out the abnormality of Zhu Hong.

"Mo Xuan, it seems that His Majesty mistook you for his father." Qingluan said in that explanatory tone.

nonsense!Everyone could see the fact that little Zhuhong called out her daddy.

"What should I do now?" I spread my hands helplessly, hoping that the three of them would come up with a feasible solution.

"What should I do? What else can I do, then you have to work hard to take good care of His Majesty in these 49 days." Chong Mingniao usually didn't talk much, but when he said it, he hit the point.

"I take it? How can this be? Isn't it more suitable for you to take care of children?"

In my mind, all things about raising children are done by women. Back then I had no choice but to take Xiao Wu, he was only my family member, but now there is Chongming Niao, who is a genuine woman, although she is not as gentle as a woman, But she is a woman after all.

Both Bi Fang and Qingluan turned their heads to look at Chong Mingniao, and shook their heads together, "It's not suitable, she's not suitable at all, it's better for you, Mo Xuan, to take care of her."

"what?"

Bi Fang immediately explained, "You see, His Majesty Zhu Hong is so close to you. Just because of this, no one is more suitable to lead His Majesty than you. Mo Xuan, this matter is hard for you."

"Yeah, thanks for your hard work." Qingluan echoed.

Didn't he have an awkward relationship with Bi Fang?Why does it look like a pair at this time.

Chong Mingniao glanced at Little Vermilion who hugged me, and nodded in agreement, "I think you are also the most suitable."

In this way, the three of them hit it off, and after discussing, they handed over the task of taking care of little Zhu Hong to me.

"During this period of time, we will announce to the outside world that His Majesty has passed Nirvana, but His Majesty will not show up for the time being, so you can take care of Mo Xuan." Chong Mingniao was about to walk away after finishing speaking.

I wanted to stop me immediately, but little Zhu Hong tightly hugged my thigh, "Daddy, Daddy, don't go..."

Taking advantage of this gap, Bi Fang and Qingluan also turned around and left.

Watching the three of them fleeing quickly without looking back, I yelled and yelled, but it didn't work at all.

"Senior Bi Fang, Senior Qingluan, Senior Chongmingniao, you..."

The three of them were already far away from the Phoenix Palace, without any shadow.

"Alas—" I looked back at Little Zhuhong again, but his pitiful appearance didn't help me much. I had already remembered his majestic and solemn appearance in my heart, so now he is in my heart. It was as if he had become another person in his eyes.

I lowered my head and patted his little shoulder, "Good boy Zhu Hong, go back and sit on the bed."

"Oh——" Little Vermilion gave me an innocent look, let go of my arms, and awkwardly crawled onto the red feather bed.

Feeling powerless in my heart, it seems that the time for me to go to the Demon Realm and Qinghan over the gate of hell to explain will be pushed back again.

……

On the 49th day of July 48th, the date of vermilion transformation began to count down in my heart, 47th day. 46th, [-]th...

Four days after Little Vermilion was born, I have basically figured out the attributes of this little guy. I don’t understand anything except being clingy. I need someone to feed me when I eat, and I need someone to accompany me when I sleep. I usually run around when I’m bored. However, the news of Zhu Hong's successful nirvana was released, so I have another task, which is to take good care of little Zhu Hong, and must not let him run out of the Phoenix Palace.

Fortunately, the area of ​​the Phoenix Palace is also large, so it is expected that this little fellow will not be able to run too far.

Within ten days, all the maids and guards in the Phoenix Palace knew that there was an extra child in the Phoenix Palace. As for who this child was, there were many suspicions.When they heard that little Zhuhong called me Daddy, rumors spread again. One day when I took little Zhuhong to the garden, I even heard a maid say that he was the child born to me and Zhuhong.

While everything left me speechless, I also tried to bring little Zhu Hong out as little as possible.The less gossip the better.

Another few days passed, and in the apse of the Phoenix Palace, little Zhu Hong was sitting by the bed, holding a book and reading quietly.This is also a good way for him to pass the time, which I discovered by accident.

After a long time, she withdrew her focused eyes. Little Zhu Hong raised her head and her eyes sparkled, "Daddy, Daddy, there are so many interesting places in this world, so Daddy will take me to see them?"

I shifted my gaze to his book in doubt. It said that in the Hengbingshi Lake in the west of the Beast Empire, there was Yu Henggong, who was shaped like a carp and was red. He was in the water during the day and turned into a man at night.

It's really miraculous, but if you want me to take him out of the Phoenix Palace, don't even think about it.

But on the bright side, I can't refuse so resolutely. I have clearly experienced Xiao Zhuhong's clinginess recently.

Sitting on the side of the bed, I beckoned, little Zhu Hong immediately crawled over and sat beside me, "Daddy, can you take me to see it? Zhu Hong wants to see the miraculous male fish, and see the male fish that can poop adults at night." male fish."

I chuckled, "Little Zhu Hong, the place where those henggong fish live is far away from our home, so if you want to go, I will take you there when you grow up. You are too young now, and you can't go there at all." that place……"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy can carry me behind his back!"

"Daddy is not feeling well, so he can't take you there. Daddy will definitely take you there when you grow up." I promised.

Little Zhuhong tilted her head and thought for a while, "Then...well, when I grow up, Daddy will definitely take me there!"

"Okay!" I agreed wholeheartedly.Little Zhu Hong finally nodded in satisfaction and continued reading.

I thought I was fooling around like this, and I let him read without worry, and I was happy at leisure.But the next day, Zhu Hong disappeared...

A few words were written crookedly on a piece of white paper: Daddy, Zhu Hong went to find Henggong Yu, and when he found Henggong Yu, bring him back to show to Daddy...
