The Spirit World

Chapter 426 A Hard Night (Part )

"Well... no... I want to go and see if the protective barrier of our house has loosened... You take the children into the house... It's getting late, let them wash up and go to bed by themselves." Rajel said personally in Amina's ear. He accidentally kicked a small stone, and Amina lightly stepped on his foot.

"What? Do you think... there's something wrong with this summoned beast?" Amina turned her gaze to the two children. They were having a lot of fun and seemed to be getting along well with each other.

To be honest, I do have some doubts.

"Well... However, we can't judge others by our own standards. If this summoned beast is really in trouble, we have to help it... I'd better check it out... Besides, I'm afraid that the shielding array will loosen and put us in danger. That would be disastrous..." Rajel touched his wrist, where there was a rose petal mark that was glowing.

This also scared Amina, because he hadn't seen this mark light up for a long time.

"Something's wrong? Can you do it by yourself?" Amina looked back at him. After all, if her husband felt there was a problem, then there must be something wrong.

"Let's go and take a look first..." Rajel looked at the lamb, staring at it unconsciously, even without blinking.

"Okay." Amina walked over slowly and clapped her hands. She wanted to get the two children to take a break, but the two children were making a lot of noise and did not stop immediately after hearing the clapping.

"Kids, let's go back to the house...it's time to go to bed!" Amina clapped her hands again, and then the two children stopped.

Although a little disappointed, the child still walked in front obediently.

Chang Yufeng was held by Erica, and it looked like she was holding a greedy little ice dragon, like a little piglet.

She just held his fat waist like this, and then made him lift his hands up. This little guy was really strong, and he didn't know how hard he was holding down, so he just kept pressing down. No matter if he was serious or just joking about wanting to have a little pet, she felt an inexplicable love for him.

Just like a child who would be filled with love when she picked up a discarded animal on the street. She was a child herself. Chang Yufeng wanted to turn around to see what Amina and Rajel were doing, but Erica held her tightly, and she could not turn her head. She could only look at the small house that was getting closer and closer in front of her.

Not far away, the darkness on the road became even more blurred. In this farm, the placement of luminous crystals was also very sparse, so there was not much light, and Chang Yufeng's eyes were extremely blurry...

The light in the small house is warm. For a family, Rajel and Aminna have indeed given their children enough care in terms of parenting. Such a small house gives people a sense of security. As soon as you enter the house, you can see the colored pictures of two children crying, laughing and playing on the wall. There are very few colored pictures of two parents next to their children.

Chang Yufeng, who knew a little about Rajel's past, knew that these colored pictures might be protecting the two children. Even if others saw these colored pictures, they would not see their parents first.

Erica stomped up the stairs. Chang Yufeng said nothing. There was nothing to really miss about this familiar place. Although it had been a long time, the feeling was not that strong...

Or maybe Chang Yufeng was in a happy mood just now, and he didn't feel sad when he saw the old things now. If he really felt sad, it was just because of the sadness of autumn, which was really unnecessary.

However, he turned his head and saw that when Jack was about to drink some water, Erica had taken the lead and was running up the stairs. There was also warm light in the corridor. They were some very small glowing crystals. If you didn't say it, they really looked like yellow stars. The higher you went, the more it felt like you were climbing a ladder to heaven. Growing up in such an environment, it can only be said that Rajel and Amyna were attentive enough to the growth of their children.

Now that I think about it, maybe I was really lucky to meet them.

I came from the "sky fire", and the red light took away the lives of all the villagers in Old Mousse Village. I was not just meeting Rajel's family by chance, but it was destined, just like a dream to fill the wounds of my young heart...

This kind of luck...

Almost no one can match...

The grace of saving my life and raising me can never be repaid.

Thinking of this, I was actually somewhat moved, but not much. Perhaps this kind of affection that has become family affection makes people feel very natural...

Even his natural gestures showed Rajel's love for his family. I was more or less influenced by him. Maybe when I have children, I will treat them the same way...

Even with a naughty child like Erica, he never felt that the child was disobedient. At most, she was really childish, which was as it should be. If a child was so mature that it was outrageous, it was not necessarily a good thing. No one really doted on Erica. The treatment of her family naturally made Erica feel taken care of. It was just that Erica probably knew that she was naughty, and when she should be obedient, she was extremely obedient. This was still from Erica's own thinking. It was very important to be sensible imperceptibly... Otherwise, they wouldn't say that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's child would dig holes. This was all intentional...

But she is really naughty. She just got herself shaken while going upstairs. She was really noisy.

"Won't you make a small bed for me? I don't want to sleep with a girl..." Chang Yufeng entered Erica's room. It was a mess of pink. Many famous spirit beast dolls were placed on the bed. Most of them were round, cute, and there was even a handsome one.

"Hey...can't you sleep with my big bear?" Erica took off her shoes, placed Chang Yufeng on her small table, and then went to the bed to get something.

"However, if you don't want to, that's certainly possible. My mom always taught me to respect other people's opinions...even if you disagree..." Erica took a bear from the bed. The bear was white, with red eyes, and it was angry, even with its limbs spread out, much like a standing and roaring white bear.

I don't know why this kid likes this kind of thing...

"Well... So, what do you want to do with me?" Chang Yufeng nodded and sat down on the table. He found that the smell on his body had disappeared, whether it was the scent of the vanilla shower gel in the sheep pen just now or on Erica's body, all disappeared without exception...

He didn't smell it carefully, but it seemed to disappear suddenly. The sweet milky smell in Erica's room was incompatible with him... It was even like a barrier, isolating himself, simply isolating him with the smell.

This is very strange...it may be due to his own characteristics...he really needs to explore his ability to turn into a sheep.

Then there's the Ash Fire... If it's used here and can't be controlled, it will definitely cause huge problems.

"Why did you put this bear... next to me?" Chang Yufeng looked at Erica's actions. The bear was also placed next to him. It looked ugly and ferocious, and more like an ugly and cute thing.

This teddy bear is much taller than her, and even Erica’s small table is filled with it, so she has to move her butt to make room for it.

"Will the summoned beast go to the toilet?" Erica's words surprised Chang Yufeng. Erica put the bear upright, tied up its two legs, and made a nest. She actually thought so far... She really didn't pay much attention to Erica's thoughts.

"No." Chang Yufeng shook his head. He knew that Erica was carefully building a "nest" for him.

Usually summoned beasts would hide in the summoning crystals and come out from the summoning array. Even those summoned beasts that didn't want to enter the summoning crystals again were no different from ordinary pets.

To be honest, not many people keep summoned beasts as pets, because according to the rules of the Principality, it is not allowed to conclude contracts with human-shaped summoned creatures. Therefore, even if the summoned beasts are not collected into the summoning crystal, it is difficult for them to be treated like humans. Most of them are pets.

Compared to humans, it is difficult for pets to enjoy better treatment than their owners. The food is not bad, but not that good either. If you really want to treat yourself as a pet, then there is no need to do so.

But it’s not good to say it out loud, and I can’t explain where I came from. If I tell them, I’m afraid they will say I’m crazy.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor. It should be Jack who went to bed after drinking water...

It is said that the stairs were made of special materials to make sounds in order to prevent the two children from staying up at night, or going out to play secretly, or even to prevent someone from going upstairs without Rajel and Aminna's knowledge.

As soon as there is any movement, you will know.

"Erica! I have to go to practice tomorrow, so please take care of the task..." The voice outside the door was very soft, even unusually soft. It was probably because he really didn't want anyone to hear it.

But isn't this strange? If you don't want your parents to hear you, just knock on the door and come in and tell them... Chang Yufeng was a little confused... Why did this Jack... that is, his past self, behave so confusingly...

Looking at Erica who was talking to him, she did not answer immediately, but took out a small cushion, which might be the cushion she used as a small pillow, and spread it on the bear leg ring, and patted it deliberately: "Got it~"

She spoke in a helpless but loud voice, not in a weak voice, but in a voice that was tireless, as if she had done this many times before...

This must be my "nest"...

Chang Yufeng can live in any nest and has no requirements, but if he really lives in a nest like this, wouldn’t he freeze to death at night?
Even though I'm a sheep, I still think like a human... Even though I'm fat, I'm still afraid of the cold and the heat...

"Your brother talks to you like this? Why don't you come in?" In order to add something to his nest, Chang Yufeng tried to pull the bear's hands to his body. The fur on this bear is wool, but it's hard to say it's warm...

"Hmm... He has to go to practice every day... He wants me to look after the sheep..." Erica felt that this bear was not nice and tried to move. She got up and went to the bed again.

"Oh~ practicing... practicing what? Swordsmanship?" Chang Yufeng asked, watching Erica take another doll and place it next to her.

To be honest, it would be better to get yourself a small blanket. This kid is really crazy... He insisted on using a doll to make a nest for himself.

"Well, he likes swords very much, but my dad won't let him touch a sword, saying it's very dangerous... But he didn't listen and practiced secretly, so the task of herding the sheep was left to me~" Erica shook her head proudly, as if she was proud of having cheated successfully.

"Oh~" Chang Yufeng looked at Erica, not knowing what to say, so he could only say "oh". What should I ask? For that kid... that is, himself...

What is urging me to practice swordsmanship?
Are you afraid of dying?
Or...what?

It’s been too long…

I have long forgotten how to do it...

He no longer used that extremely simple sword technique, and he no longer cared about childish swordplay and performance-style sword techniques...

Would the child who had no one to teach him think that he could travel in this bizarre spiritual world after learning the skills he had honed himself?

"What do you think of your brother? I feel like he's... not very... normal?" Chang Yufeng couldn't find a good word to describe himself. After all, he hadn't been with Jack for a long time, and they had just met... He didn't know the whole story... and it was hard to judge...

But do you think you were normal before?
That's definitely not normal. Although it looked normal at first?
No, to be honest, without a friend, a peer, or a window to observe the outside world...

How does he know whether he is normal or not?

Asking Erica may not give you an answer... because it's the same for Erica... Erica and Amina definitely didn't do very well in this regard...

Lonely……

What a horrible thing...

Although children don’t understand...but Jack is no longer a child...at least not in terms of his mental age...He is a time traveler...He knows what it feels like to be alone...

There are no peers... Every peer is abnormal to him...

This is normal.

Chang Yufeng found that he was thinking a lot... Just something that happened in a moment... He would be lost in thought. Fortunately, Erica silently patted, squeezed, and pressed her nest. Although the bear's legs were wrinkled, they were at least much softer.

She seemed to be thinking, but it wasn't obvious what she was thinking.

"Not normal..." Erica shook her head and gave this answer. It was expected and there was nothing surprising about it...

"But... I think his abnormality may be due to... his own affairs... It has nothing to do with me..." Erica said this, and Chang Chang Yufeng grabbed it and put it on the mat. The mat was a small pillow, so it didn't fit the space between Xiong's legs. She pressed it down, trying to make Chang Chang Yufeng sit more comfortably...

Apart from anything else, Erica is indeed a smart kid... and she is careful enough to do things... Now it seems that she is indeed a good child...

"Yeah... I just said it like that... it's not necessarily a big deal... But, as summoned beasts, there is no contract between us... is this okay?" Chang Yufeng stopped talking about this topic.

"Of course... I just thought you were cute at first... I didn't expect you to be so pitiful... abandoned by your master..." Erica pinched Chang Yufeng's face.

"In fact, we often see some injured small animals passing by here... Maybe it's because those bad guys have started doing bad things again..." Erica said with some distress: "My parents often rescue some small animals... They are so pitiful..."

"Bad guy? What bad guy?" Chang Yufeng became interested...

If Erica calls him a bad guy... then he must be called a bad guy.

"My mother said they seem to be called Longxing Society... They have been hunting small animals in the forest recently... My sheep are only kept on the grass nearby, and we dare not let them go far away... I dare not untie the ropes and let them go far away to graze..." Erica's words turned a little angry...

"Longxing Society... Oh my God!" Chang Yufeng shouted...

Locke...?

Killing animals?

I am also an animal...

?
Although I can't be so self-centered...but thinking about it this way...isn't it too...coincidental?
So... this kind of thing has ever happened...?

"They are so mean... My brother doesn't care at all..." Erica took a small blanket covering the other dolls.

Chang Yufeng understood something, but he was not sure... He was not sure...

Perhaps, there is no such thing as coincidence in this world...

Erica is actually showing love... This family is also showing love... It has never been that I came here and this family revolves around me... They must take me in...

Erica must have been joking with me... A summoned beast that was abandoned... There's no way it would have a master so soon... It's also my fault... I didn't know it at first glance...

But if Long Xing shows up... it will be a big trouble...
