Chapter 817 Who is playing along?
Chapter 817 Who is playing along?
“My name is Jik Ganamitesti Stemud. My middle surname is that of the late king, and also my mother’s surname. She died on my first birthday, so my birthday is also the anniversary of my mother’s death.”
Su Yan was stunned. How tragic... She looked up at him and asked, "Is it your birthday?"
"The King's birthday is a statutory holiday in the system world, lasting fifteen days."
"..." Very good, and the world will celebrate for half a month.
"What kind of meat did you give me? It was quite delicious." Su Yan patted her stomach. "It's burning off quickly, and my stomach feels empty again in just a short while."
"That's the meat of the aurora fish."
What is an aurora fish?
"Want to go take a look? After you've seen the aurora fish, I'll send you back to the beast world."
“…Okay. Catch more fish, I’ll let the other kids try some when we get back,” Su Yan said with a smile.
King tentatively took her hand.
Su Yan paused for a moment... then gripped his hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, "This is strong."
“Hmm.” King looked at her and his hand, a simple and pure smile on his face. Fine strands of hair fell down, partially obscuring his forehead, concealing his sharp edge… It was as if he was not a king at this moment, but a clean and clear young man.
Su Yan was stunned... and quickly looked away.
[Xiaomei, why does King seem different?]
[Host, don't be fooled. He's definitely just putting on an act, like you are!]
[Yeah, I think so.]
[Host must guard against lust and not be tempted.]
【…】
The manor, which was once a work of art, has now become a huge empty space.
Su Yan couldn't help but gasp in shock; the white mist was truly terrifying! It was comparable to Xiao Fengning's Yuan Demon power. The difference was that Xiao Fengning possessed a Devouring talent, while the white mist directly erased everything, leaving not even a trace of its existence!
……
Level 13 Civilization.
Su Yan gazed at the endless universe, the surrounding silence so profound that even the sound of breathing sounded like thunder.
"It's a bit cold here." Su Yan took out a feather quilt from the system space and draped it over herself, also covering King with some.
King smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold." Then he wrapped Su Yan up tightly.
"Oh." Su Yan wrapped herself up tighter.
Not far away, there is a net woven from data, containing some of the world's fruits.
Su Yan felt hungry while watching, so she took a bag of juice that Xiao Mei had made for her. "Even Yan Ze can't come here, how could you?"
“I was born here. When you have your little Nan Nan, you should come here too,” King said to Su Yan with a smile.
Su Su Yan nodded. "It's quite quiet here. When I scream in pain, it'll carry far, right?"
"I'll stay with you." King gripped Su Yan's hand tightly.
"Xiao Mei... I think I'm starting to like him a little, what should I do?" Su Yan said to Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei said firmly, "Absolutely not! Host, don't be fooled by him! Have you forgotten what he did to the main system?"
Su Yan: 【…Hmm!】
A rainbow of light drifted in from afar, moving at a leisurely pace, but in the blink of an eye, it was right next to us.
Finally, it entered the data network.
The light gradually dimmed, transforming into a school of seven-colored fish! So beautiful it took our breath away…
Su Yan stared at the fish without blinking.
Suddenly, the data network closed.
All the fish were kept inside.
King took out a black box from the system space and put the fish and the data network into it.
"Yan Yan is so lucky. I used to have to wait for ages to catch one. This time, a whole bunch came, enough for you to raise until your baby is born."
"Right? I also think I'm lucky, otherwise how could I have so many adorable babies?"
"Hmm. These aurora fish can't be eaten yet. Let me process them. Can you wait two more days to return to the Beast World?"
"Sure," Su Yan nodded. "Your baby will be very beautiful too."
“That’s good.” King’s thick, long eyelashes drooped, obscuring the divine light within. “Yan Yan, do you want to go see the place where I was born?”
“Okay, I’ll have my baby there in the future,” Su Yan replied.
King opened a data portal and led Su Yan inside, hand in hand.
A sea of white flowers!
Su Yan didn't recognize this flower. It looked a bit like a hibiscus, but the stamens were star-shaped, and even the leaves and stems were white with a crystal-like translucence. "So beautiful!"
Look up at King, "It's the same hair color as yours."
Although her hair was also white, it had a hint of blue in it, because her father, Oro Milut, was a gray-blue rat-beastman, and she inherited that trait to some extent.
King is pure white, that kind of pure and flawless white that makes people want to worship it, clean and untouched by any worldly filth, sacred and noble.
"Do you like it here?" King asked Su Yan.
Su Yan nodded, "I've seen colorful flower fields before, but this is the first time I've seen pure white ones."
Suddenly, Su Yan's gaze was drawn to a giant vine shooting skyward. It was also white, but covered in sharp thorns!
"What is that?" Su Yan felt a strange sense of fear.
King replied, "White Vine, the root of the system world."
"What would happen if we cut it down?" Su Yan asked.
“I cut it down,” King laughed. “It will grow back.”
"Huh? Isn't there a big fruit growing on it?" Su Yan pointed to the forked part of the vine, where there was an oval-shaped fruit.
King replied, "Yes, I'll pick it for you to eat when it's ripe."
"Okay." Su Yan smacked her lips. "I'm hungry now."
King took out a green, square fruit from his system space. "Here, have this."
Su Yan smelled it and said, "It smells like the sea."
"Didn't you go to the sixth-level civilization? This is the fruit of that World Tree."
"I knew it, that world was all water." Su Yan took a bite; it was sweet. "Not bad."
After eating the green fruit, Su Yan couldn't hold on any longer. "I can't take it anymore, I need to take a nap."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan collapsed into King's arms, turning into a little white mouse with her round belly bulging, and fell into a deep sleep.
King carefully placed her in his arms, then with a light leap, he jumped onto the extremely sharp thorns of the white vine and continued to climb upwards.
Finally, it stopped at the fork where the oval-shaped fruit was growing.
He took out an aurora fish from the system space.
Before he knew it, the aurora fish bit him, and a drop of red blood oozed out, flowing down his long, slender, white fingers, a striking sight...
Without hesitation, he dripped it onto the white fruit.
It looks like just a fruit, but when blood is dripped on it, it suddenly splits open with a mouth full of sharp thorns and swallows the blood!
In no time, King cleaned the aurora fish. The fish innards, skin, scales, bones and other scraps were fed to the white fruit, leaving only two pieces of pure, crystal-jelly-like meat, which were placed in an elegant white lunchbox and accompanied by various colored fruits.
Hope you like it!
