When she returned to Canglan Mountain, it was already late, Hualing made an appointment with Zeqi and came to play with him when she was free, and then left with the people who came to pick her up.

Ze Qi responded with a smile, and then led Wu Lian and his son into the door.

As soon as the courtyard door was pushed open, the main room was brightly lit, and the shadow of a person was reflected on the open space at the door through the open door.

Ze Qi's heart suddenly rang out, and he walked over quickly. Although there was nothing valuable at home, the cub was at home!Although the dark guards given to him by the Demon Lord are extremely loyal and diligent in guarding his safety, he can't guarantee whether they will take the cubs to heart. After all, in the eyes of the dark guards, the cubs may just be unrelated. The little things that matter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw the demon king sitting leisurely in his usual chair with his legs crossed. On the small table in front of him was a pot of sake, a celadon wine glass, and several The small dried fish is drinking and drinking by itself, very comfortable.

Seeing Ze Qi, Cang Xin said hello: "Are you back?"

Ze Qi was slightly taken aback, a little surprised: "Father, why are you here?"

Cang Xin said: "Why did it take me so long to come back? Do you know that it made me anxious?" The expression of concern couldn't be concealed in his words.

Zeqi was moved in his heart, but he forgot that the territory of the demon clan was under the control of the demon king. It was easy for the demon king to know where he went and what he did, whether it was dangerous or not.There may be some worries, but there is no such thing as being anxious.

Normally, Zeqi would be able to react in an instant, and his father must be tricky when he said that, but now, after playing outside for a day, Zeqi, who is physically and mentally exhausted, his head is a little dull, and he couldn't understand it for a while. His father's implication.

Seeing that his son didn't respond, Cang Xin glanced at him in disgust, and said again: "Go and get some food, I'm starving."

Only then did Ze Qi come to his senses, the relationship was waiting for him here, no wonder he always felt something weird just now.

The sentence "Don't you eat what these low-level demons eat?" slipped on his lips and was swallowed by him. He was very tired today, and he was too lazy to talk to his father, and he was too lazy to carefully arrange food. Just make do with it and eat it.

First let Wu Lian put the things he bought from the market today in the utility room, and then he went to the storage room to pull out a piece of sauced beef and a salted duck, chopped them into slices, and went to the vegetable garden to pick a few Wash the tomatoes and cucumbers, cut them into pieces, mix the tomatoes with sugar, and put the cucumbers on a plate. Finally, he took out a jar of fruit wine from the cupboard in the kitchen, paired it with the crystal wine cup he just bought, and brought it over together. .

After getting everything together, just as Wu Lian put away his things and came over, Ze Qi saw Wu Yao, slapped his forehead, and said, "Wait." He hurriedly took a big bowl and ran away.

When he came back, Mojun himself was already eating vegetables with his chopsticks.On the other hand, Wu Lian was cramped at the door with his son, the master didn't say anything, he didn't leave or stay, and the powerful coercion unleashed intentionally or unintentionally by the person in front of him, on a chilly night, he was a big The tall man was sweating anxiously.

Ze Qi stuffed the big bowl containing fresh spiritual milk into Wu Lian's hands, and motioned him to sit down and eat, "It's too late today, I'll make some dishes for you tomorrow."

Cang Xin held a small piece of sauced beef between his hands, and pricked up his ears: "Watch the wind and wash away the dust? When?"

Ze Qi replied without hesitation: "At noon, there is plenty of time, and I can have a good meal." After replying, he realized that it wasn't Wu Lian who said it.

Cang Xin put the beef into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The beef was salty, delicious, chewy and chewy, perfect for drinking.The small cucumber is crisp and refreshing. Take a sip of the spicy wine and take another bite, which not only dilutes the spiciness of the wine, but also has a kind of aftertaste in your mouth.

The wine served by the son was also interesting. It was filled in a crystal glass with a clear amber color. It didn't smell like the wine he usually drank, but it exuded a hint of sweetness.

Cang Xin played with it for a while with great interest, then picked up the crystal wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. The wine was sweet and bitter in the mouth, and had a different taste, but he didn't like this kind of sweet and greasy things, so he only drank Throwing the cup aside, he turned to concentrate on eating the dishes.

Ze Qi called Wu Lian and his son to sit down. Although Cang Xin put away his coercion, he has been in charge of the demon clan for a long time.

Wu Lian was a little frightened, hesitantly protecting his son from sitting down.

Ze Qi had no choice but to glance at Cang Xin.

Cang Xin noticed his complaining eyes, couldn't help straightening his body, coughed, trying to make himself look kinder, and said concisely to Wu Lian and his son: "Sit."

It’s okay if he doesn’t speak, but when he opened his mouth, Wu Lian bowed his head in a majestic and deep voice, and Wu Yao’s child is sensitive by nature, and since he entered the room, his spirit has become tense, and at this moment he was suppressed by Cang Xin’s words, Overwhelmed and cried out.

Ze Qi was completely speechless, and Wu Lian didn't care whether he was afraid or not, he patted his son on the back softly to coax him, and when he raised his hand and saw the big bowl in his hand, he remembered to feed it to his son.

The spirit milk exudes a rich and sweet taste, Wu Yao was quickly attracted attention, sobbing and looking at the bowl cautiously, after being encouraged by Wu Lian, he stretched out his tongue and licked it, and immediately smiled, one after another Drank the spiritual milk.

Zeqi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and was about to eat when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.

He looked left and right, but there was nothing.Then I stood up and went to the bed to look for it, but there was nothing.When he was about to go to the yard, Cang Xin stopped him, "Are you looking for it?"

As soon as Zeqi turned around, he saw Cang Xin lift the cub's nape from the chair beside him and brought it up to everyone. With his tail between Cang Xin's hands, he didn't dare to move.

Zeqi rescued him from Cang Xin's grasp, and stroked its head. This time, the cub was obedient and let him stroke it.

Zeqi was puzzled, it was true that he liked well-behaved cubs, but he was not used to it when this brat became so honest all of a sudden, and he always felt that something was wrong.Thinking of this, he turned the cub over and over to inspect it several times to see if it was injured somewhere.

The cub was clean, without any wounds.

Zeqi didn't find the reason for the cub's abnormality. Several thoughts tossed back and forth in his mind. He couldn't make up his mind. He lowered his head to meet the cub's pitiful and helpless eyes, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: Yes, I will prepare it for the cub if I go out for a day. I bought a little dry food, but didn't cook it well. According to the cub's picky eater nature, it must be hungry by now.

Thinking of this, Zeqi felt a little guilty, picked up the cub and kissed it on the forehead, and said distressedly: "I will give you a good meal later."

Cang Xin looked at them with a complicated expression, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, turning his gaze back to the food.

After drinking and eating, Ze Qi saw that Wu Lian was uncomfortable in front of Cang Xin, so he let him go to sleep with his son in his arms.I went to get some meat for the cubs to eat.

The cub was probably really starving and started gobbling it up with a purring sound in its throat.After eating, Zeqi brought it another bowl of spiritual milk. The cub had almost eaten, and was not as eager to eat as before, and slowly licked it one bite at a time.

Cang Xin coughed, one person and one cub looked up at him at the same time, the cub's long beard was still stained with a drop of milk that was about to fall, shaking its ears and looking vigilant.

Cang Xin cleared his throat and asked Zeqi, "Do you know what it is?"

Zeqi looked down at the pattern on the cub's body, and asked uncertainly, "Liger?"

"Liger?" Cang Xin repeated, but instead asked him: "What kind of beast is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

Ze Qi looked at the black-spotted yellow-bottomed fur on the cub's body, and said blankly, "Isn't it? I think it looks like a tiger and a lion, so I thought it was born of both."

The cub's golden eyes widened instantly, looking at Zeqi, then turned to look at Cang Xin.

Cang Xin smiled and said, "Your idea is novel and interesting, but this cub is not the liger you mentioned, but a scorpion."

"Swastika?"

"That's right," Cang Xin said, pointing at the cub, "Swastika is a ferocious beast in ancient legends, also called 'broken mirror', it looks like a tiger and leopard, it is extremely ferocious①, and it is born to bring disasters." , His voice paused, and he pointed out: "This kind of thing that may put you in danger at any time, do you still want to keep it?"

Zeqi lowered his head, the cub seemed to understand what they said, turned to look at him, and the drop of spiritual milk on the beard fell into the bowl.

Zeqi smiled, stroked the cub's smooth fur, and asked Cang Xin, "Is father afraid of death?"

Cang Xin said: "Fear, no one in the world is not afraid of death, so I am naturally afraid."

Ze Qi asked again: "If one day, the demon clan is in a catastrophe, and the father is not able to survive the danger himself, what should the father do?"

Cang Xin laughed, and said: "Although I am afraid of death, I am not afraid of death. If there is such a day, I will..."

"That's it." Cang Xin's words were cut off by Zeqi before he finished speaking, and Zeqi smiled and said, "The same is true for my son. I don't talk about tomorrow's events today, not to mention, it is still young, and it may not grow into what my father said in the future." .”

Cang Xin didn't expect him to say that, he was slightly taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! My son has my demeanor!" He stretched out his generous palm and patted Zeqi's shoulder twice, saying: " It's too late today, I'll come back tomorrow." After saying that, his figure disappeared instantly on the spot.

Ze Qi didn't have time to react, only felt his shoulders sinking and lightening suddenly, the person in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye, only the air remained.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Zeqi picked up the satiated cub, wiped off the milk stains around its mouth, stared at it for a while, and sighed: "Some things cannot be done by humans. I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong to force you to stay here. Intellectually, I should release you to the forest, which will help release your nature, but I’m still a bit reluctant..."

Lowering his eyes slightly, a slightly bitter smile appeared on his face, which eventually turned into a sigh. Looking at the sleeping cub, he retracted the puppet ring without anyone noticing it, and whispered softly: "To go or to stay, It's up to you to decide."
