parasitic son

"Small...really??" Yan An stared at the boy in front of him with wide eyes.

He blurted it out at first glance, and then suddenly he wasn't so sure.

That was obviously his child, no matter from which angle he looked at it, it was Xiao Zhen whom he had been away for a year, exactly the same as he remembered.

But he suddenly appeared here, holding a shining long sword in his hand, with a calm demeanor, like, like—a knight who descended from the sky in a fantasy novel.

"Xiao-zhen?" Yan An repeated again, as if he could confirm some facts by doing so.Maybe everything that happened from just now to now is an unimaginable dream.In the dream his wish was granted and he was reunited with his child.It's kind of bizarre in this way though... dramatic.

The boy standing in front of him stared at him, he felt his gaze slide over his body, paused briefly at his wound for a few seconds, and he saw anger flash in his child's eyes.

"Xiao Zhen... Dad is fine." Although he was in severe pain all over his body, Yan An managed to squeeze out a smile to comfort him, and then he saw the invisible fog gathering again not far away, and he immediately said anxiously: " No, Xiaozhen, go away! It's dangerous here!!"

Xiao Zhen didn't speak.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the mist reshaped a new shape.The unreal matter melts and re-merges and expands.Its appearance became monstrous and hideous.It was a huge strange beast, with fire-like energy overflowing around it, its body was cast like copper and iron, and it was like black blood congealed.Every step it takes makes the earth tremble.That is a creature that can never exist in reality, it seems to be a fantasy creation created by human beings.

It was watching them, emotionless in those lava eyes.

Yan An wanted to get up, he wanted to catch Xiaozhen and run away with him immediately, but the severe pain of the broken bones made him unable to move, he just felt like a broken leaf, shaking for a long time but nowhere freed.Then the fear overwhelmingly overwhelmed him.Originally, he was alone, and he only resisted with the mentality of dying anyway, but now, his child, Xiao Zhen, was in front of him.This kind of fear and panic turned into a real bone-chilling cold, which penetrated into his bone marrow.

"Xiaozhen, run!!" he shouted hoarsely.

But Xiao Zhen in front of him did not recede.

The boy didn't look back.

His longsword traced silver gracefully through the air, starry dust rising from the tail of the arc.

The boy walked towards the strange monster.

……

……

Yan An couldn't describe what he saw.

Xiaozhen is fighting the monster.

He could barely see the traces of Xiaozhen's figure flashing past, his sword light was like flying meteors, and clusters of bright flames burst out continuously between the shining sword and the monster's body.

The monster's thunderous roar resounded through the world, and its breath was a black mist of shadows.Every attack of it makes Yan An feel like the sky is falling apart.And his Xiaozhen jumped at high speed in front of the strange beast, and his sword light followed like a shadow.

That monster should have been stabbed hundreds of times by Xiaozhen, and its seemingly indestructible body was scratched by Xiaozhen many times.But only for a moment, the mist of shadow gathered on its shattered wound and turned into new tissue.No matter how many times Xiaozhen chops and slices, its wounds can always heal and recover in an instant.

"You can't beat me," growled the monster, "You're nothing but a worldly thing!"

True responded with a sword blow that ripped through the air.Its body was cut again and again, the monster roared and waved its claws at Xiaozhen, but Xiaozhen's speed was too fast, his sword, like wind blades coming from all directions, was everywhere.

The monster's huge body also means that it can't move faster than Xiaozhen.True took advantage of this opportunity, piercing it repeatedly with his blade, and its flesh fell with the burning mist.The monster roared in horror, and its wounds healed again.They started another round of fierce fighting.

……

……

Yan An watched the battle ahead in horror.This scene has exceeded all the scenes he could imagine.All he knew was that his little one was really fighting that terrifying monster.And he could only lie on his stomach next to him, helpless.

His eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of their battle at all, his retinas began to blur from receiving too much dynamic information, and his head was aching because he couldn't analyze the information in front of him.The battle left him terrified and anxious.Xiaozhen, Xiaozhen, Xiaozhen, he kept shouting in his heart.

(Do you feel like you are having a nightmare?)

A deep and soft voice echoed in his head.

(Want to get rid of this nightmare?)

who is it?Who is talking to me?

(Want to get out of this mess?)

who are you?

A scene flashed before his eyes, so clear that his eyes swelled.

He saw An Yuan standing at home with a worried expression on his face, and his cutest Zhu Zhu was standing next to An Yuan, crying.His parents sat on the sofa and moaned.

(Your family is suffering from your disappearance.)

Yes, he has been missing for more than a year, Yan An thought bitterly.His company doesn't know what's going on now, can the partners bear his disappearance for a whole year?He also couldn't imagine how An Yuan would face his sudden disappearance in the past year or so.How would Xiaozhen and Zhuzhu think about their irresponsible father?How many tears will his parents shed for him?

Thousands of troubles, thousands of fetters, only the family is the sword of Damocles hanging over his head this year.Just seeing An Yuan's slightly frowning side face made his heart feel like a knife was piercing, and his internal organs felt as if they were being fried.

Sorry, sorry, he murmured.

(Look, your distant relatives are thinking of you.)

so what do you want to tell me?He asked the voice in his head that he didn't know where it came from.

(I can take you home.)

……

(Earth.)

what.

(I can send you back to Earth.)

Really?

(Yes, I can send you back to Earth intact if you want.)

go home.Yan An's heart skipped a beat.A hot current of excitement and joy galloped through his body.Going home, he silently recited the word in his heart.The home, An Yuan, and the children who have not seen each other for the first time in a year.Just hearing this promise, every nerve in his body seemed to tremble with excitement.go home.They are waiting for his return.

A ray of reason held back his wild imagination.

There is no free lunch in the world.

He asked: So, what is the price of sending me home?

(Shards of an underfilled cup.)

……

(Give me the fragments of the half-filled cup. You will return to Earth safely.)

……

(And your companion, the two of you will return to Earth safely together.)

Yan An didn't answer.

(As long as you let go of the shards of the half-filled cup, the scourge, your life will return to normal.)

Really?

(As long as you let it go.)

So why don't I just make a wish and go home without it?

(Oh? You want to use this powerful thing for such a trivial matter? Then do you know what the price of this wish is?)

……

(Give it up, and you'll be back with your family with all your heart and soul. What's going on here is nothing but a nightmare to you.) That voice was slow, (Give it up, I know it's your most desired wish.)

Yes, Yan An admits that all he thinks about now is going home.

Come back home.

He looked at the scene in front of him motionlessly, that was his inseparable parents, that was his precious daughter, that was the girl he loved deeply, he looked at her cheeks, lips, and slightly drooping hair, she Looking straight ahead, she was looking sadly at Zhuzhu who was crying.It was the gaze of a mother.

(Give it up, and you can go back to your family.) The voice whispered in his ear again, its words were sweet and touching, tugging at Yan An's heartstrings.

Behold, she is so close to you.Maybe as long as he agreed to it, in the next second, he would immediately return to her side, hug her tightly, and wipe away all the sadness on her face.

(Give it up. Back to Earth, back to your family.)

Come back home.

Yan An opened his mouth, and he said, "No."

(what?)

He could still hear the hiss of the sword cutting the air, the song of battle in the wind.

He shouted: "As a father, how can you leave your son who is fighting!!"

With this thunderous questioning, the phantom in front of him disappeared.

Xiaozhen was still fighting with the monster not far away.The light of the sword is like a shooting star, and the body is like a dragon.

(Short-sighted monkey.) The voice echoed in his ears, full of blatant malice.

"I knew it!! You are with the monster who came up to torture me! Or, are you the monster?"

(Die, die, die, die! Your son will die here!)

Then that voice turned into countless whispers and weird rubbing sounds repeatedly clamoring in Yan An's mind.Yan An only felt that every groove in his brain was filled with maddening circular chant.He pulled himself together and desperately resisted the overwhelming mental shock in his head.

Xiaozhen's sword became faster and faster, and with a crackling sound, he cut off the monster's right arm.But after a while, the naked flesh and swimming shadows merged into dozens of arms with sharp claws, and they were like deep-sea cephalopod creatures attacking Xiaozhen with their teeth and claws.

One of the boy's legs was caught in a claw, and he spun and swayed in mid-air.

"Xiao Zhen—" Yan An said anxiously.He staggered to support his body and stood up with all his strength.

Xiaozhen——

"Don't go there." A steady voice sounded from under him.

Yan An lowered his head, his eyes widened.A cat squatted under him at some point.

That is his pet cat at home.

"Mimi?" he said.

The cat glared at him with disgust.

"Amy?" he said.

The cat didn't seem to want to talk to him very much.

He turned his head and looked ahead, his little one, his child was in danger.As a father, he had to go—

"Don't go there." His pet cat spoke again.

He looks at the cat.

"He's protecting you. He's fighting for you," said the Cat. "Please remember that. Trust him."

After a moment of hesitation, Yan An understood the meaning of the cat's words.

He clenched his fists, he looked ahead, Xiao Zhen was really fighting for him.

A sharp claw grabbed Xiaozhen's leg, and another sharp claw bound Xiaozhen's left arm.They are extremely powerful, and they are about to tear Xiao Zhen into two pieces.Yan An couldn't help but exclaimed.But at the next moment, Xiao Zhen spun and hung on the monster's body, and his sword suddenly cut off one of the sharp claws.Under the light and shadow, another sharp claw was chopped off by Qi Gen.

Silver light flashed, the lightsaber whirled, and he slashed into the monster's back.The monster's back was broken, and the fog of shadow condensed and entangled, and then its back twisted and healed with new life, and Xiao Zhen spun the sword into its physical body again, and the monster roared angrily.

The blade of the sword shone with light, and the hissing and vibrating energy field tore through the drifting gray mist.The monster's recovery speed could no longer keep up with Xiaozhen's rapid attack.What it faces is the endless and ruthless sword network of the youth.The mist is gradually thinning, and the materialized appearance is becoming more and more fragile.

He raised his sword, which shone like the afterglow of a dying star.

"You dare to attack Yan Zhen's father." The young man said softly, "Then you are looking for your own death."
