The days when I wanted to be a human being

"What's going on?" After Zhou Ling closed the door, he lit the candle on the table with flames and took the crying kid from the Flame Dragon Armor.

Unexpectedly, the little kid stopped crying as soon as I held him in my arms.

After using her emotions to sense, she finally understood why the little brat was like this.

This little brat is actually afraid of being "eaten".

Before coming in, Zhou Ling had some guesses about the reason why the little kid was crying.

At first, she thought that after entering the mouth of the sea cat father, the environment fell into darkness, which made the little kid feel scared. After all, this precedent had happened many times in the previous six months.

So the first step Zhou Ling took when she came in was to light a candle, in order to use some flames so as not to scare the little kid so much.

The reason why she didn't cry now was that with Zhou Ling's warm embrace, she no longer felt the fear of entering the mouth of a sea king.

Only then did she stop crying.

Zhou Ling held the little kid in her arms and sat on the chair. Looking at the figure on the wall, she suddenly felt emotional. She didn't know when she could coax a child so calmly.

Only half a year has passed in these ten years!

Does she really want to be obsessed with coaxing the child?

This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it!

The more Zhou Ling thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

At this moment, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

She suddenly felt the collar of her shirt being pulled.

Looking down at the little kid sucking on the pacifier and still moving his hands and feet restlessly, Zhou Ling smiled helplessly.

She thought to herself, forget it, forget it, she really admired this little brat. She was a magnanimous person, there was no need to care so much about a little brat.

After all, he is just a little kid who was forced to be weaned not long ago.

If he were a little older and dared to do this again, she would smash his head.

Zhou Ling suddenly remembered that half a year ago, the milk powder that came with the box that came with the child was eaten up by him in just a few days.

He is even very picky about food. He doesn't even want to touch a bite of the milk powder that Roger bought from other islands.

After that, Zhou Ling just made pacifiers for him to drink. However, after a few days, maybe he got tired of the Life Energy brand pacifier and was willing to drink milk powder bought from other islands.

Some time ago, after the milk powder stored on the ship was eaten up, he was directly fed food that normal people eat, because the ship had begun to sail towards the doldrums.

It was impossible for them to return to the previous island to buy milk powder, so they could only force little Shanks to be weaned.

Looking at the darkness outside the window and seeing the little kid who had fallen asleep, Zhou Ling decided to go to bed as well, since he had nothing to do anyway.

"Forget it, let's go to sleep."

It’s so dark that I can’t go anywhere, so I can only sleep.

But before going to bed, she took out the box she had received the day before.

When I opened it, there was only a pool of blood inside.

Zhou Ling directly extracted the life energy inside, and she continued to keep the rest in the box.

The extracted life energies can be used to replenish her life energy. She has done this in the past when she encountered sea beasts, and she will also share them with Roger and the others.

These are the essence of sea kings.

That's why Roger and his friends are fully aware of its effectiveness, and they are willing to do so even if it means temporarily turning them into sea beasts.

As for what would happen if a person's corpse changed, Zhou Ling would not use the life energy she extracted directly. She would store it directly as a 'medical kit' for emergencies.

It was from that time that she served as temporary medical care for Roger and his crew.

After turning the extracted life energy into a pacifier, it was put away.

After packing up everything, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

……

After half a day, it was light outside.

"Miao, don't sleep! Come out quickly, this little blue dad wants to talk to you!"

Zhou Ling immediately opened his eyes, handed the kid to the care of the auxiliary system, and came to the deck.

After she closed the door, she immediately covered her ears because she saw a huge cat face appear in front of her.

"Meow."

Sure enough, when the cat father saw it, he couldn't wait to call out.

"Meow." (Okay, I get it. I'll come find you when I have the chance. Go back quickly, or your wife and children will be worried.)

Zhou Ling's words were just like those of a scumbag who abandoned her lover after having sex with him. Fortunately, the cat's father was a sea king and didn't understand much about human society, otherwise he would be very sad.

"Meow."

"Meow." (Thank you so much today.)

Afterwards, everyone watched the giant sea king disappear into the sea.

"Okay, guys, let's set sail!" Roger said formally after taking a last look at the doldrums.

Unexpectedly, different opinions emerged at this time.

"Captain, the burned sail has not been replaced yet?"

After hearing Duolingo's voice, Roger knew that he was too happy too early. He paused and said passionately,

"...Okay, boys, now...change the sail!"

Seeing Roger following the crew to prepare to change the sails, Zhou Ling asked the auxiliary system to help. After all, she did not forget what she had promised Duolingo.

Worried that the little kid wouldn't be in good shape when he was alone in the room, Zhou Ling asked the auxiliary system to come out and bring the child out and hand him over to her.

At this time, the sun was about to set below the sea level, but it must be said that the weather conditions in the four seas were much better than those in the Grand Line.

Zhou Ling held the little kid in her arms and looked at the sky which was gradually turning yellow. She suddenly remembered her peaceful life in her previous life.

The setting sun, the yellow sky, the slightly thin figure, the hair and clothes blown by the wind, were all deeply reflected in the eyes of the people behind Zhou Ling.

"That's great." Roger exclaimed with a smile.

Once upon a time, he also fantasized about getting married, having children, and taking walks in the sunset.

But when he realized that the sea was never calm, he had to leave his hometown and go out to explore the world, and thus met Rayleigh and others.

"Captain, hurry up. Although we have left the doldrums, we are too close. It is not suitable to spend the night here." After taking a look at Roger, Yanlong ruthlessly pulled Roger back to reality from his contemplation.

"Hey! Got it, guys. Let's have a party tonight to celebrate our safe exit from the doldrums!" Roger said happily after hearing what Yanlong said.

"What! Is there going to be another party tonight?"

"I want to drink a whole barrel of wine, and no one can snatch it from me!"

"What? There are only two barrels of wine left on the ship. If you drink one, what will everyone else drink?"

"Hahaha! Don't be too happy too soon. Unless we can find an island tonight, don't even think about having a party." Rayleigh ruthlessly broke everyone's fantasy, because if possible, it would be better to spend the night on land.

"Tsk~" No one had any objection to Rayleigh's decision. After all, Rayleigh's say on the ship was second only to Roger's. Generally speaking, the crew members were willing to listen to him.

……

Finally, amid the laughter of everyone, the new sail was quickly replaced.

Then they began their first voyage in the West Sea.

As the sun was about to disappear, Roger sat on the deck helplessly and said sadly, "It seems that there will be no party today. Prepare to drop anchor, Rayleigh."

"No! Wait a minute!"

Just as Rayleigh was about to drop anchor with Sikar, he heard the Eye Dragon's words of dissuade him from the lookout tower.

Everyone who was talking stopped and wanted to hear what Yanlong had discovered.

Unexpectedly, Yanlong didn't speak for a long time.

It took him a long time to tell everyone the exciting news, "An island has been discovered ahead! Captain."

"Hahaha! It's time for a party, little ones!"

After hearing what Eye Dragon said, Roger stood up happily and shouted, "Speed ​​up!"

"Great! Long live the captain!"
