Xiaoxue finally confirmed one of our guesses. God knows how long in the future, Sandora and I would have a child. Moreover, it wasn't out of my expectations. The birth of the child was quite Schilling.
Sandora thought it would be fun to have a child, so she used her soul fragment to create one …
The naughty child named 'Xiaoshan' had been the biggest nightmare for the other girls in the family for a long time. After inheriting Shadora's soul fragment, Xiaoshan's appetite was unimaginable. According to Xiaoxue, ever since her big eater sister was born, the royal family basically spent every day surrounded by the smell of milk powder.
"When my little sister first learned to walk, she was used to drinking milk. At that time, she would run around with three to four milk bottles attached to her body. It was very fun to watch," Xiaoxue reminisced about the future. (Don't you think this sentence is awkward?) In the end, a sad expression appeared on her face, "If she could give me one, it would be even better …"
In all fairness, as a princess, Xiaoxue would never go hungry. If she wanted to, she could soak in a sea of milk every day. But everything is psychological. Anyone who has seen how Sandora eats would unconsciously wonder if they would starve to death. This kind of biased contrast effect is also effective on a one and a half year old child. By the way, why am I researching this …
Shadora had been in a half-pale state ever since she finished her meal. She sat alone in front of the window and looked up at the starry sky with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. If it was in the past, Bryndis would definitely jump over and look for a beating. However, for some reason, Bryndis was unusually well-behaved this time. He maintained a distance of more than ten meters from Shadora and sat in front of the small coffee table in silence. I couldn't help but pat the female pervert's shoulder, "Why aren't you teasing Sandora this time? It's not your style, right? "
Icetis turned her head and her old-fashioned look scared me, "It feels so high-end to be able to marry and have children. It's like Sandora is a creature from another dimension. I can't understand it at all …"
"…" Alright, it seems like this is the aftereffect of Sandora's' death without a husband '.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the naughty kids who had formed a row on the staircase not far away. Anveena was mopping the floor. This bunch of kids could finally settle down in one spot quietly. Then, I walked to Shadora and patted her head. "What are you thinking about?"
"Children …" Sandora didn't raise her head, but her faint voice seemed to convey all of her thoughts, "I don't know why, but I feel … I'm looking forward to it. It's a feeling I've never had before."
I was stunned. Shadora was surrounded by an atmosphere I had never seen before. It was warm, gentle, and joyful. She was touched by what Xiaoxue had unintentionally revealed. She had been looking up at the starry sky for half a day just to fantasize about having a child. I thought about it and recalled that Sandora had mentioned this topic to me before. Back then, when Xiaoxue had just appeared, Sandora had this thought. Now, this thought had become a clear and expected reality.
"Although I feel that I have changed enough, and sometimes I even have strange thoughts like I don't recognize myself, it seems that there are more things worth looking forward to in the future than I imagined." Sandora looked at the dark night sky outside. Her gaze seemed to pierce through the darkness and reach the deepest part of the universe, "Ah Jun, do you know? After knowing you for five years, I feel that it is even more profound than my previous life. The pure rational part of my logical core tells me that this is an illusion, but the emotional part of it comes to the opposite conclusion. This is an interesting phenomenon …"
I thought about it and said, "Does this mean that after knowing me, every day feels like a year?"
Sandora was dumbfounded. She turned her head stiffly and scanned my face with her big blue eyes. "Now I know why Lin Xue wants to fight with you every few days. Your words are so infuriating sometimes."
I felt that I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere … Alright, although I had never succeeded in this aspect.
Sandora took a deep breath and looked at the night sky. "Five years. If it was the me in the past, this short period of time would have passed in the blink of an eye. I fought on the battlefield, expanded the territory, and advanced like a machine. Sometimes, hundreds of years would pass unknowingly. I've never been like this before, trying to look at the scenery around me as I move forward. Just how many things have I missed in the past? Now that I think about it, there's only one thing that left a deep impression on me: Bryndis. Many things had happened in the past five years. Everything seemed to be something that had never happened in the past billions of years. Ah Jun, it's great to be with you. Thank you. "
Sandora suddenly lifted her head and looked at me with a bright smile. Her blue eyes were filled with gentleness. I was stunned for a few seconds. Then, I smiled and said, "Ditto."
Sandora thought about it and decided not to beat me up.
It was said that there were differences between people. Just look at her ability to sigh at life. She was different. After Xiaoxue leaked the secret, Sandora sighed at the height of her worldview. My only thought was how much trouble my family would make in the future. According to Xiaoxue, it seemed that Sandora's child wasn't easy to deal with. What was worse was that the child was brought up by a bunch of troublemakers in the family …
"Speaking of which, according to Xiaoxue, our child …" When I heard the word, I saw Sandora's expression change slightly. She seemed to be embarrassed. Then, I continued with a smile, "It seems that he grew up slowly like the children of other races. He even learned how to walk. Even the Shiring Apostles didn't have such a growth period. Look, even the slowest growing type like Little Bubble could run, jump, and use quantum missiles when he was born. "
"Let's change." Sandora smiled. "The Shiring Apostles have never been a race that refuses to change. Based on the current situation, perhaps we really need such a change. Now, I had faintly realized that perhaps lifeforms born for battle could make us stronger, but it wouldn't necessarily make us great. A civilization that could truly reach the pinnacle would need to have something different, something other than power. A new evolution was about to … no, it had already arrived. The Shiring Apostles would maintain their current talent for war, but perhaps a new branch would appear among the top individuals, a branch that could make their altar no longer lonely. Ah Jun, you should know that a civilization at the pinnacle is like standing on the tip of a sharp tower. Because there is no taller or anything that can stand shoulder to shoulder with within reach, this tower has become extraordinarily dangerous. Just like acrobatics, we put stones under our feet, allowing the tower to rise higher and higher while teetering on the brink of collapse. Because we separated ourselves from the world of mortals and stubbornly guarded our 'pinnacle' glory, refusing to allow the slightest 'flaw' to appear in our civilization, this tower will become sharper and sharper until even we can't support it anymore. At that time, a slight misstep will cause us to fall from the peak into the abyss. We have already fallen from the peak seventy thousand years ago, and we cannot repeat the same mistake this time. We need to add a footnote to the 'absolute efficiency' racial trait of the Shiring Apostles to stabilize the trajectory. It won't slow down the Empire's progress, but it can allow us to regain some of the things that we once accidentally abandoned. These things were once discarded by our ancestors as' mortal shortcomings', but I think that the mortal side can probably allow the Shiring Apostles to gain some power … "
I listened quietly. Whenever Sandora figured out a problem, she would excitedly share all her discoveries with me like this. At this time, no matter how much I could understand, I just had to listen with a smile. And this time, there was indeed nothing that I couldn't understand — the aloof gods would sooner or later become tyrants, and the inability to understand the life forms of mortals would cause the Shiring Apostles to eventually lose interest in protecting the mortal world. What was even more fatal was that after completely eliminating the characteristics of a normal race, the Shiring Apostles might also completely stagnate on the path of evolution. Because "evolution" was a privilege granted to mortals, a perfect race did not need to evolve.
The Shiring Apostles would definitely not accept this kind of stagnation that would bring about "perfection."
"From the altar of gods to mortals, and from mortals to the altar of gods, finally achieving a kind of True God balance …" Just as Sandora and I were both pondering over a philosophical question, Icetis's voice suddenly came from not far away. I looked in the direction of the voice in astonishment, and discovered that the always smiling female rogue was actually wearing a solemn expression. She had a rare, holy smile that could perhaps be described as "divinity" as she sat opposite me and Sandora. "God the Father once taught the children of the gods that half of the True God resides on the altar, and the other half resides in the mortal world. He mentioned the same thing that you are discussing right now, which is that the True God is never perfect, and that he should leave the temple. I never thought that you would also think of this step. Should I say … as expected of the person corresponding to God the Father and the Four Main Gods? "
I asked, "… By the way, how did our topic suddenly spread to this place?"
Icetis scratched her head. "Right, what were you discussing at the beginning?"
"… Xiaoshan's appetite."
Icetis was instantly dumbfounded. No matter how strong her imagination was, she would never have imagined that the topic would start like this. "Damn! That's it? "
Sandora and I nodded at the same time. "That's it — and then it spread to the level of God!"
Icetis was stunned for a few seconds before she flicked her sleeves and left. "Damn, you guys have nothing better to do …"
Lin Xue stayed here for another two days. Alright, I admit that it was also two days of shamelessness. However, the main reason why she stayed here was to hide from her parents. No matter what, the missy had already evolved from a young girl to a young married woman. She was afraid that her parents would notice at this critical juncture, and then they would come to stab her with a kitchen knife. So, she had to adjust her state of mind first. She was very confident of this.
To be honest, I had already thought it through. When the time came, I would have to meet her parents. We couldn't hide it from them forever. According to the customs of the people on Earth, everyone in Lin Xue and Shallow Shallow's family could be considered as relatives of the emperor. Of course, the military system of the Shiring Apostles didn't care about such a saying: Those who didn't participate in the war without military contributions, even the father of the emperor didn't have the authority to do so. However, it wouldn't be a problem to consider them as a group of free kings. The current situation was that the missy's free king was still busy scamming the oil giants every day, while the free king of Shallow Shallow's family was busy digging up people's ancestral graves all over the world. This wouldn't be a good thing in the long run.
I felt that this might be a problem, but it wouldn't be too much of a problem. When the two fathers-in-law found out about the Xiling Empire and the multiverse, they wouldn't have the energy to assassinate the emperor …
However, this wasn't the time to be honest about this matter. To put it more bluntly, the Empire still had internal and external troubles. The world was in turmoil and the flames of war never stopped. I could go to war at any time and wouldn't be able to return home for a few months. At this critical moment, if the two fathers-in-law came to kill me with a kitchen knife, how could I explain to them that this huge house was empty except for a ghost leading a group of strange little girls to look after the house …
Anyway, after staying here for two days, the missy finally returned home happily. I had successfully coaxed her into a good mood. Xiaoxue had even applied to visit her grandparents with her mother. However, considering the brat's ability to bring harm to the world, Lin Xue and I rejected the idea on the spot.
The first afternoon after the missy left was especially peaceful. It was probably because her biological mother wasn't here, causing the king of brats, Xiaoxue, to be a little disinterested. Thus, I was finally able to spend a rare leisurely afternoon after I finished my work.
After coming out of the house, I planned to go to the courtyard to find the cute fox and ask her to help take care of the child. However, a strange scene appeared in front of me, causing me to stop in front of the porch.
In the shadow of the porch, a graceful figure was leaning against the pillar and sitting on the top step of the stairs. Behind her, silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall. It was actually Icetis.
She was actually sitting there quietly. Was she thinking about the end of the world?
This female pervert who was always noisy but now strangely quiet didn't seem to notice that someone was approaching from behind. When I got closer, I realized that Icetis was holding a huge black hardcover book in her hands. She seemed to be completely immersed in it.
No wonder, Icetis had a hobby that was completely different from her valiant personality: reading. She was always holding various tomes that looked like they could smash people to death. However, these tomes weren't purely used as a meteor hammer. She really liked to read. Icetis would occasionally enter the mode of a literary girl like this. Although it was rare, I must say that the current Icetis had the aura of a goddess: quiet, dignified, and elegant.
"What are you looking at?" Although I felt that it wasn't good to break this quiet atmosphere, once I remembered that the other person was Icetis, I instantly felt no pressure and spoke up. Actually, I could've opened my mouth a little later because the view from this vantage point is not bad … It's just that Bryndis has been fooling around with me for a long time. It's almost impossible for me to look at her like a girl …
Icetis finally woke up and her first reaction was to close the book. Then, she raised her head and looked at me in surprise: "Damn, you scared me! It's nothing, I was reading a novel. "
I was stunned by Bryndis's sudden reaction. Instead, I became interested in the book in her hand. "Let me take a look."
"No!" Icetis's reaction was super fast and she instantly jumped back more than two meters. Moreover, she jumped while sitting down. She felt like a startled rabbit. "Absolutely not!"
… If she didn't have this reaction, I might have let it go. But the other party made such a big fuss, how could I let it go? I immediately started to coax and pester her. Actually, I didn't know why I was suddenly so interested in the book in Icetis's hands. This was probably the second problem of people being cheap: Advanced exploration of the spirit of welding detonators and sawing light bulbs.
After coaxing and pestering for a while, the book in Icetis's hands that could be thrown like a kinetic energy bullet was finally in my hands. The female pervert revealed a defeated expression that she never had before. She looked at me like she was entrusting an orphan: "You have to take good care of this book …"
I was baffled, "This can't be your personal photo album, right? If that's the case, I won't read it anymore … "
"Photo album my ass." Icetis's words could be considered to be her style: "How many times have I been taken advantage of by you? Now you are pretending to be a saint. This is an autobiographical novel of the Realm of Gods. Don't ask so many questions, go read it yourself! "
Then, Icetis's figure flashed and disappeared in front of me: Maybe she went to the other side of the earth to collect rent.
"What is this thing?" I shook my head and looked at the huge book in my hands. I swayed my arms and walked to the shade of the tree. After opening it, I was shocked: "Damn, could it be the Bible?"
"Summer is ending."
When I was reading under the shade of the tree in the courtyard, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside me. My sister was holding a cup of herbal tea in her hands and sat next to me. It was not even 4: 30 in the afternoon, my sister's most leisurely time of the day: All the housework had been done, and there was still some time before cooking. Every time this time, she would come to the courtyard to sit, or stay in a corner of the house to study cross-stitch. This was the pace of life that she liked. Compared to sitting on the throne and being cheered, she preferred to have a group of maidservants surrounding her when she was cross-stitching and chattering curiously. Or like now, she was holding a cup of herbal tea with me and watching the clouds in the sky and the fine rays of sunlight sprinkling through the leaves.
"Ah, time really flies." I rubbed my body and habitually laid on my elder sister's thigh.
"It's still the same as when we were young," my sister said casually with a smile. Her gaze fell on the big black book in my hand. This book had piqued her curiosity: I had been dealing with the MDT for a long time. The frequent reports from the City of Shadows and the information from all over the country made it so that I had not touched this book for almost a year. "What are you reading?"
I waved the big hardcover book in my hand that would cause at least a level two disability if it hit someone on the head. It was so big that it might not even pass the security check at the airport. The eight corners of the book were covered with golden metal ornaments, and the black hardcover was made from the leather of an unknown animal. There were gorgeous golden words on the cover. Icetis's books were all in this style. "I got it from Icetis. It's an autobiographical novel written by the Protoss …"
"Novel?" My sister was surprised. "Oh, yes. I often see Icetis holding a book and reading it for the whole day. She likes to read … Let me see. Oh yeah, I can understand it, right? "
"Of course you can. The Protoss's books are all information transfer books."
My sister took the so-called autobiographical novel from the Realm of Gods curiously. The huge book was like half a shield in her hands. She quickly flipped through two pages and was surprised. "Isn't this the Bible?"
I looked stunned. "What do you expect from the Protoss's autobiographies? Genesis has appeared in their diaries since they were in fourth grade … "
My sister chuckled. She closed the autobiographical novel that could be read directly from the Bible and knocked it on my head twice. Then, she stroked my hair gently. "It's so good to be able to relax like this. But don't read these weird things in the future. This book was written by Icetis, right? I saw that she accidentally called herself 'Old Mother' in the title page … "
I was stunned. "… Damn! No wonder she smiled so awkwardly when I asked her for this! "
I didn't expect that the huge book that I had snatched from Icetis was actually written by that female pervert. That explained why she looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears. I recalled what was written in the book and couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth. She must have been prepared to die when she handed this thing over. Look at what she wrote:
I opened the book carefully and a paragraph greeted me. "I walked the world and made laws and rules for the movement of the stars. I made all things go on patrol. I looked upon all things and all things moved in order. Therefore, I called it good and set this day as the First Day of the Divine Awakening. Therefore, I set down a religious rule. The men and women dressed in white sackcloth were to come out of their homes on this day, wearing a crown woven with vanilla. They would serve wine to the beggars in front of their doors and the poor behind them. I stood in the clouds and saw my world beginning to move. I thought it was good and left my name. My name is:
The Supreme Protector and Maker. Really? The Holy King Goddess of the Hunt? The Black Emperor Wings? The True Eyes of the Evil King! "
The last name was covered up by some kind of divine spell and the whole book was covered up. I was wondering why I couldn't see the name of the God who wrote the autobiography. It turned out that it was Icetis herself! When he snatched the book from her, she probably only had time to erase his name from the book … Of course, now it seemed that all the efforts of that female hooligan had gone down the drain. Everything about her second year of high school had been revealed — — — — -
I carefully put the book that I had painstakingly snatched from Bryndys into my personal space. I decided to use this as a special causal bomb against Bryndys!
