As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"There's nothing I can do. Although I can deal with those mercenaries with my combat skills, I'm really powerless against those enemies who lurk in the shadows like ghosts."

"So, the current situation is that God has been taken to Cocolia's room. And Cocolia seems to be acting strangely tonight. You're worried that God might get hurt inside, so you want to rescue him, right?"

Listening to Xing's analysis, Bronya nodded slightly, indicating that what Xing said was completely correct. Seele, on the other hand, looked confused; she had just woken up and her mind was still a bit foggy.

“That’s pretty much the case, but…” Bronya’s eyes flickered slightly as she hesitated whether she should reveal Cocolia’s name for Chenyuan… The thought was like a thorn in her throat, making it difficult for her to speak.

"But what? Time is of the essence, let's hurry!" Xing was an impatient person, she couldn't wait even a second for matters of fate, and pulled Seele ahead. Bronya sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless, but followed.

"Hey, Xing, Bronya, did you hear any strange noises?" As soon as Seele reached the second floor, she couldn't help but shiver. She asked Bronya and Xing, who were walking ahead of her, nervously.

"Strange sound?" Hearing Seele say that, Xing frowned slightly. She held her breath and listened carefully for a while, then nodded. "There is indeed a sound, and it does sound a bit strange."

Unlike the other two, Bronya reacted immediately. Having undergone various brutal training since childhood, she was all too familiar with that kind of voice. Without hesitation, she pulled Seele and Xing downstairs.

"Bronya, what's wrong?" Seele asked with some concern.

"Bronya, what are you doing! Aren't we on our way to rescue the God? Let me go!"

Seele was rather timid and didn't resist much when Bronya pulled her along. But Xing was different; she struggled constantly in Bronya's grasp.

“Let’s go back. Brother Chenyuan is fine. On the contrary, he should be very happy now…” Bronya had already figured out what Cocolia meant by ‘father’. This truth made her feel a little lost.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What if God is being coerced by Mother Cocolia!" Annie said urgently, and in a moment of impulse, bit Bronya's arm. Bronya suddenly felt pain and instinctively let go.

The pain in her hand brought Bronya back to her senses for a moment. Immediately, the image of Cocolia grinning wickedly while holding a small leather whip flashed through her mind, while Chenyuan lay on the bed looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

“Xing, you’re right! At least we should go and see it for ourselves!” Bronya patted Xing’s shoulder hard. At this moment, she had stopped thinking and her mind was full of the scene of Chenyuan and Cocolia fighting.

"Huh?...Oh." Bronya's change in attitude surprised Xing, but she didn't say anything more. So, the three little ones quietly made their way towards Cocolia's room.

Before long, they arrived at Cocolia's door. Bronya nervously swallowed, and cautiously pushed the door open a crack. The scene behind the door immediately and profoundly impacted their young hearts…

"Mmm, that was a really good night's sleep~" The next morning, as the sun was just rising, Chen Yuan stretched lazily in the warm sunlight, and then gently patted Cocolia, who was still fast asleep beside him.

"Cocolia, it's time to get up, the sun's already high in the sky."

After a night of work, Cocolia seemed to be adorned with magic. Her tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes shimmered with a captivating light in the morning glow.

"Mmm~ Let me sleep a little longer!" A faint blush rose on her cheeks, as beautiful and charming as the rising sun. Her lips pouted slightly as she murmured, "Just five minutes, let me sleep for five more minutes..."

Looking at Cocolia, Chenyuan felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him. The charm she exuded at that moment was like a spring flower in full bloom, captivating all who beheld her.

"Alright, get up quickly, we're in the orphanage now. You can sleep a little longer after breakfast if you want."

"You're so annoying, really!" Cocolia opened her eyes with displeasure, looked at Chen Yuan who was smirking, and pinched the latter's cheek. "It's all your fault."

Cocolia reached out and hugged Chenyuan to her chest, pouting her lips. At this moment, she didn't seem like an executor of anti-entropy, but more like an ordinary little girl.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Just then, there was a knock on Cocolia's door. Cocolia was startled and quickly wrapped herself in the blanket. "Who...who is it?"

"Cocolia's mom, it's me, Bronya." Bronya's face was slightly flushed, with her two adorable little girls, Xing and Seele, standing behind her. "Xing and Seele are here too."

"Chenyuan, what should we do? Bronya and the others are coming!" Cocolia whispered to Chenyuan. "If they see me like this, my image as a good mother will be completely ruined!"

At this moment, Cocolia was unaware that the image of the so-called good mother she spoke of had completely collapsed the previous night.

"What else can we do? Let's put our clothes on first." Chen Yuan smiled wryly, reaching out his tentacles to grab the clothes Cocolia had thrown on the sofa. "In a bit, we'll say we discussed it all night and then just drifted off to sleep."

"Will that work? I might trust Seele, but what about Bronya..."

"We have no other choice, let's do it this way for now."

Hearing Chen Yuan say that, Cocolia quickly got dressed, and Chen Yuan jumped onto her shoulder. After tidying herself up, Cocolia coughed twice and opened the door.

"Good morning, Cocolia's mom." The three little ones said in unison as Cocolia opened the door, then turned their gaze to Chenyuan. "Good morning, Mr. Little." "Good morning, Brother Chenyuan." "Good morning, God."

"Good morning, Bronya, Xing, Seele." Cocolia nodded with a faint smile. Meanwhile, Chen Yuan stealthily shifted his attention to Bronya. "What brings you to my room so early in the morning?"

"Bronya, what's going on? Why are Seele and Xing here?" Chenyuan whispered in Bronya's ear.

"There was nothing I could do. Xi'er and Xing were already up before dawn. I couldn't hide it anymore, so I told them what happened last night."

"As a result, they were worried that something might happen to you and insisted on coming with you. I had no choice but to bring them along."

"Is that so... then there's nothing I can do." Turning his head away awkwardly, Chen Yuan immediately knew who was to blame after hearing Bronya's explanation.

"Cocolia's mother... it's already noon." Seele said weakly at this moment. Looking at Cocolia's appearance now, and recalling the fleeting glimpse last night, she blushed.

"Ah, is it noon already?" Cocolia was taken aback, then glared at Chenyuan and said awkwardly. "I'm probably just too tired these past few days. I overslept as soon as I got back yesterday."

"Yeah, I'm really tired, after all, I've been busy with the gods all night." Xing pouted unhappily and muttered to herself as she looked at Cocolia.

"Ahem, alright, everyone, stop fooling around." Sensing Cocolia's gaze, Chenyuan coughed twice and said. "Since it's already noon, let's all go have lunch first, and we can talk about anything else after lunch."

Bronya and the others fell silent as they watched Chenyuan and Cocolia's incoherent words and slightly awkward tone.

Finally, Bronya sighed softly and then spoke up. "Brother Chenyuan, there's no need to pretend anymore. We all know what happened last night. Also, the room smells terrible; we should open the windows to let some fresh air in."
