this infinite world

"How the hell did you introduce me to them?"

The clone's kick naturally landed in the air and did not hit Zheng Zha's butt. Because of this, the man became even more angry... After all, he had never been so embarrassed in his life. It was even more shameful than the time when he was a teenager and was caught by his parents for secretly watching a porn movie.

But thinking of his parents who were busy checking the stove in the kitchen, trying to save the dishes, the clone Zheng Zha suppressed his anger and did not let the black flames burning on the surface of his body damage the surrounding ground and the furnishings in the house.

Amid the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen, the replica Zheng Zha gritted his teeth and sent the sound into Zheng Zha's ears through precise sound transmission: "Why can they accept the existence of another 'Zheng Zha' so easily?"

"Introduction? No need for introduction, isn't it enough to just tell the truth?"

Hearing this question, Zheng Zha looked at his own copy in confusion: "Just say that my potential is so high that the 'Lord' took the initiative to copy another me... Is there anything else I need to explain?"

"……It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Looking at the extremely speechless expression on the copy's face, Zheng Zha suddenly realized: "Oh, you are worried about whether they can accept the fact that they suddenly have a son? Relax, the two elders' ability to accept is not as fragile as you think."

"After all, at this stage now, we don't need to hide too much about the existence of the Lord God Space from them. Just before, I have roughly introduced to them what the 'Lord God' can do, so you don't have to worry about this aspect..."

"That's not what I'm asking you... Never mind."

The clone Zheng Zha wanted to say more, but when he thought of that extremely familiar face, which was exactly the same as in his memory, and the flawless, overwhelming concern, he could no longer say the next word.

I don't know if it's because I experienced too many tribulations, too many cold stares, and too many bloody fights in the main god space, so that I haven't felt this kind of pure, selfless care for a long time.

For the clone Zheng Zha, the other teammates of the Demon Team are subordinates, teammates, fellow travelers, and... Well, after experiencing the final battle, there are also a few people who are classified as "partners" in the heart of the clone Zheng Zha.

But "partner" can never replace the status of "relatives", just like in Zheng Zha's heart, there is a difference between Loli and the teammates of the Zhongzhou team... Because of this, after hearing the mother's chattering that he hadn't heard for a long time, an indescribable feeling surged in the heart of the clone Zheng Zha.

"……Ah."

Seeing the replica's thoughtful look, Zheng Zha smiled first, then deliberately shook his head and sighed: "Let's just brush aside what happened just now. Let's talk about what happens next."

"You know, I invited you to dinner today, but you ruined the food I started cooking early in the morning... What do you think I should do?"

"You can cook? How come I didn't know that?"

Seeing Zheng Zha shaking his head and sighing, the replica couldn't stand it anymore and sneered, "If I remember correctly, you basically never went to the kitchen properly before entering the main god space. You either ate in a restaurant or ordered takeout... Are the dishes you cook edible?"

"You're underestimating me, aren't you? At least I can make instant noodles." Zheng Zha shook his finger and said, "And when I was in the Zhongzhou team, I did develop a pretty good barbecue technique. Otherwise, as the 'Fishing Prince', all the fish I caught would have been wasted..."

"What are you pretending to be? Stop flattering yourself."

The clone was a little unsure at first, but after hearing Zheng Zha mention the title of "Fishing Prince", he was immediately certain and sneered, "I don't know about your barbecue skills, but if you have fished with Chu Xuan, you definitely wouldn't dare to call yourself that."

"You know, Chu Xuan can even catch sharks in the Nile River. Although I don't know why there are still sharks in the Nile River after being burned by my Li Yan and La's Holy Fire..." "...That's not important!"

Seeing that his lie was exposed, Zheng Zha immediately waved his hand and said, "The point is that your behavior just now made us miss lunch."

"……so?"

"so--"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zha took out a big pot like a magician, and there were all kinds of ingredients that had been prepared long ago, which were exchanged from the Lord God.

"Let's have hot pot."

……

"You're just giving me this to eat?"

"What's wrong, hot pot is not okay?"

"Then why did you take away all my favorite dishes?"

"I am you. Aren't the dishes I like the same dishes you like? We are all at home, so don't treat yourself as an outsider..."

With one sentence, Zheng Zha, who had not been home for a long time, completely stopped the clone who was still a little bit restrained. He was really not arrogant at all. He ate with his mouth full of oil and finished a bowl of white rice in no time. The man didn't even swallow the food in his mouth completely, and raised the bowl in his hand with a smile: "Mom, another bowl!"

"Really? Why are you eating so fast? Be careful not to choke..."

Watching Zheng Zha's mother taking the rice bowl and preparing to serve the original body rice, the clone felt a flash of nostalgia in his heart. Because this same situation had also appeared countless times in his memory since he was a child...

...But, that is just the memory of the original body.

Although both his mother and the original body said such words, the replica Zheng Zha knew that there was a difference between the original body and the replica. The beauty before his eyes was just something borrowed and did not belong to him in essence...

Thinking of this, the replica Zheng Zha sighed slightly, buried the emotion in his heart, and quickly clenched the rice bowl in his hand and took two mouthfuls of rice. But when the chopsticks were put into his mouth, they were empty. He then noticed that he had lowered his head to eat rice because he tried to avoid looking at his parents, resulting in an empty rice bowl. And at this moment...

"What's wrong, Zheng Zha?"

At this time, the clone lowered his head and saw a very familiar but somewhat old hand stretched out in front of him. When he looked up, he saw his mother looking at him lovingly with the gentle smile in his memory: "Do you want me to serve you a bowl too?"

Hearing this, the clone Zheng Zha was stunned. A few seconds later, this usually cold-blooded man came to his senses and said in a somewhat bitter tone: "Well, another bowl..."

"...Mom." (End of this chapter)
