On the junkyard of Planet Shanshan, the robot's detection eye flashed human-like: "Life form detected, life form detected." It extended its mechanical arm to move the dirty, unrecognizable little ball of fluff away.

But it didn't react much until the little dumpling was taken out of the junkyard.

The landfill manager looked at the clueless little creature, rubbed his head in frustration, and turned on his personal terminal to call an old acquaintance.

"Old Xiao, I've found a little rascal here, you can take him with you."

After hearing something from the other end, the person in charge said again, "The orphanage itself is barely able to survive, and they're still taking in these little things?"

After several rounds of discussion, the person in charge cut off the communication.

"Little thing, you're lucky to be alive."

But even when he was roughly picked up, the little dumpling didn't react. The man called Lao Xiao frowned with a mixture of disgust and worry, and quickly returned to the orphanage.

Xiao Liu is still unconscious.

He is not a native of this place. He was born in another place called the Immortal Realm. Because he has the bloodline of Bai Ze, some immortals like this kind of spirit beast very much.

However, Xiao Liu was very weak. He was the sixth one born in the litter, hence his name. Although he could transform into human form at birth, his Bai Ze bloodline was never activated, so he was not favored by the immortals and could only be sold cheaply to become a fighting beast.

Xiao Liu only lived for ten short years. His young body was covered in scars. He would be beaten and scolded whenever he was slow to react. Eventually, his reactions became slower and slower, and he was forced to transform into human form to provoke the ferocity of the beasts.

However, when in beast form, the cultivator would show disgust and contempt, which was more painful than the wounds on his body.

Finally, Xiao Liu could no longer survive.

The way the arena dealt with it was simple and brutal: they just threw him off the cliff behind the mountain. Xiao Liu's body was small, so it didn't take much effort to throw him far away. Naturally, they would never know where Xiao Liu ended up.

They wouldn't care.

Xiao Liu's last memory was of the cold wind blowing through the cliffs; there were no other images.

When Xiao Liang received the call, he was reluctant to accept it.

What, are you treating this place like charity? He was sharp-tongued, but his actions betrayed him as he headed to the garbage dump.

When he saw that little dumpling, his heart melted. He thought, "Oh well, it's just a tiny thing. A bite of natural plant matter can make up for it."

He picked up the little thing, and its weight, which felt as light as a feather, made his heart sink.

It's very likely they can't be saved.

Xiao Liang turned around and ran towards Baiwen Orphanage.

Inside the temperature-controlled room, Xiao Liang wiped his matted hair, revealing his scarred flesh and broken bones. Looking at the diagnosis, Xiao Liang's narrow-set eyebrows and eyes became even more gloomy.

We can only leave it to fate.

After treating Xiao Tuanzi's injuries, Xiao Liang sat on a soft chair to keep watch over her.

This is an ordinary day for Xiao Liang as he dismisses a newly recruited childcare worker, and also a day for Wen Ai to travel to Shanshan Planet for an interview at Baiwen Childcare Home.

There are other orphanages on Shanshan Planet, but Baiwen Orphanage has advantages that other orphanages do not have.

Having little fame and few followers perfectly matches a gentle and unsociable personality.

He had just arrived at the gate of Baiwen Orphanage when he looked at the map and gave the place an extra point: there were no tall buildings around and plenty of open space. He loved it!

Baiwen Orphanage is decorated similarly to other orphanages, but its signboard reflects Xiao Liang's own insistence.

It's essential to capture the golden-orange snakeskin texture!

Wen Ai disagreed with this point. He stood at the gate and explained his reason for coming to the security guard's monitor, but he got stuck at the identity verification checkpoint.

He was a little confused. Had the dean forgotten that he was supposed to come for an interview?

I really forgot.

Xiao Liang was extremely busy. He stayed up all night, and was also responsible for the children's food, water, toileting, cleaning, and explaining why all the childcare workers had left.

It's because he just drove away the last childcare worker.

By the time he remembered, it was already dark.

Fortunately, Wen Ai was also stubborn and stood guard outside the courtyard. When Xiao Liang ran out and saw them, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

"You must be Wen Ai?" Xiao Liang, thick-skinned as he was, broke the silence.

Wen Ai dusted herself off and smiled, "Are you the dean?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Xiao Liang. Let's go in and talk." Xiao Liang let him through.

"This place is really nice, there's no one here." Wen Ai was even more satisfied with the place, but she also had some doubts.

Xiao Liang said, "You don't know, these days the childcare workers are all looking down on everyone, demanding exorbitant prices. I only have a small orphanage, how can I afford to support those big shots!"

"Then how about cleaning and guarding?"

At this point, Xiao Liang became excited and introduced his treasures to Wen Ai: "With these here!"

Wen Ai looked at the various robots and systems in front of her and remained silent.

"Please make sure I join Baiwen Orphanage!" Wen Ai smiled perfectly and sincerely, indicating that her salary was the same as what she had discussed with Xiao Liang on Xingwang.

Looking at the certificate Wen Ai took out, Xiao Liang felt like he had hit the jackpot. In his heart, he knew how valuable childcare workers were. If this person hadn't said that he had social anxiety, he probably wouldn't have agreed so easily.

"Then I'll take you to the dormitory."

"It's alright, I want to see the cubs first." Wen Ai said with enthusiasm.

At this point, Xiao Liang remembered the unconscious cub, and his fake smile disappeared. He led Wen Ai to a separate room and said, "You'll start today. Help me see what's wrong with it?"

Xiao Liang explained the whole story, and his gentle expression turned serious. He looked at the test report and tried to use his healing ability to check on the baby's condition.

The injury is severe, but there is hope.

Wen Ai used her special ability to quickly assess Zai Zai's condition. Seeing the data improve, Xiao Liang felt relieved.

But there was one thing Wen Ai didn't mention: the child's supernatural abilities had dried up, like an abandoned child.

Every day thereafter, Wen Ai and Xiao Liang took turns looking after the toddlers in the small class. When one of them was in charge of the toddlers, the other would take care of the toddlers staying in the temperature-controlled room.

Wen Ai is very pretty and delicate, with round eyes and a round face. When he is with the little ones, he wears a pair of round-framed glasses. He has a gentle voice, and the little ones all like him very much.

I especially love his big, round tail!

In Xiao Liu's originally dark dream, a voice appeared.

The voice was gentle, and the power it conveyed was warm; he had been trying to hear what the voice was saying.

Gradually, he was able to hear again. The voices kept encouraging him, sometimes they were distressed and asked him why he hadn't woken up yet, and sometimes they would gently share interesting stories with him.

He also heard many other sounds—high-pitched, crisp, slow, and all sorts of harmless sounds.

Xiao Liu wondered, if he behaved well, would he be able to keep hearing that sound?

I'm so happy!
