After I succeeded in acting cute as an emperor penguin

Maomao was silent for a while, then scratched her hair under the black cloth, "Actually, I also live there now."

Seeing He Ci's shocked gaze, he immediately explained in embarrassment, "The little master's parents are gone, I have to take care of her."

It was also the first time for Di Que to know the situation of this privileged person, and his brows were slightly frowned.

Up to now, all live with humans?

"But I didn't reveal my identity." Mao Mao raised her chin proudly, "Everyone in the dungeon thinks I'm an ordinary human being."

"Huh?" Di Que put the peeled orange petals in He Ci's hands, and asked casually, "Then how did you get out?"

Ordinary humans will be burned by the sun, and only at night can they rely on protective clothing to move outside.

Mao Mao turned his eyes and looked at the other partners who were still busy, "We have our own method, but we must ensure safety."

Di Que frowned, looked at Mao Mao with a half-smile, and deliberately slowed down to look at his companions behind him.

"Brother," Heci saw Maomao's instinctive defensive reaction, and quietly pulled La Dique, signaling him not to ask the bottom line with his eyes.

"Hey, would you mind telling me about your life in...humanity?" He Ci tried to ease the atmosphere.

Maomao became serious, he secretly observed the strange "thigh" in front of him.The supernatural being next to him obviously doesn't like humans, but Crane Ci is just the opposite!?

"It was only a few months ago that I got the opportunity to move into the dungeon with the little master."

"The underground is indeed a lot safer for the little master, at least you don't have to hide in the cabinet to avoid the sun." Maomao clasped his hands in front of him, "But electricity is very expensive, and my contribution points as an ordinary human being can't keep the lights on." power consumption."

The uppermost area of ​​the dungeon is full of crowded huts like a hive, and the space inside is even more pitiful.

Mao Mao rubbed the center of his brows in a somewhat decadent manner, and the cover on his head was slightly staggered during the movement, revealing a strand of golden hair, which was very bright under the light of the fire beside him, "Of course, the torch is not realistic in that situation." .”

Even if his physical five senses were enhanced after evolution, after staying there for a long time, he still felt that there was something wrong with his eyes.

Heci looked at the booth next to him, puzzled, "It's so difficult? But...the production date of those things...?"

Maomao paused when he asked, and suddenly smiled, "Young master, no matter what the environment is, there will always be people with power, power, and ability."

"What's more, there are those "returning" human beings who are not afraid of sunlight. Although the number is small, they can also perform tasks outside at any time."

Crane Ci imagined that scene in a daze...Damn it, I can't imagine it at all!

Human beings are so desolate that they live underground!?

Di Que didn't disturb He Ci's contemplation, his ears moved slightly, and he turned his head to look behind.A group of people gathered together in darkness, and in this silent environment, it was difficult not to make a sound.

"Lan Jiu! Take care of your sister!" Liu Ze turned his head in embarrassment, and warned in a low voice, then he supported the old gentleman with silver hair beside him without looking sideways, "Master, let me find where He Ci is first." .”

Lan Ying was so pissed off, why does this person have two faces! It's fine if she doesn't treat her elder brother, but she stops others! How dare he come to the rally!

But she was stopped by Lan Jiu, and she couldn't choke back loudly here, so she could only grit her teeth and stare at Liu Ze's side face, stomped her feet and turned away.

She didn't believe it, no one can cure this Liuze!

Lan Jiu took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in her heart, "What a coincidence, Liu Ze, Mr. Yuan, I'm also going to find Heci."

Although Yuan Qing's hair was full of silver threads and his face was old and aged, his body still looked strong.

Lan Jiu suddenly remembered that after she was frightened by Liu Zeman's asking price, she went to ask Yuan Qing to come out of the mountain, but she was declined.It seems that it is not physically inconvenient, but just provoked by others.

Looking at the little apprentice who was frantically hinting at him, Yuan Qing finally lowered his face, "Heh, patriarch Lan, old man, I want to accept Heci as a disciple, look...can you talk about your matter next time? "

Lan Jiu was about to be laughed out of anger, "It's about my elder brother's illness, and you know it's a serious matter."

Old Yuan's expression froze, and he couldn't hold back his face.

When the two parties were in a stalemate, Lan Ting walked over with someone from the side, "It's a great thing for Mr. Yuan to accept an apprentice, and it can be regarded as the good fortune of He Ci, so naturally we can't delay it."

Lan Jiu greeted him with concern, "Brother, why did you come down?"

Lan Ting raised the corners of her lips, and replied with a light smile, "I just can't fly, and it's not that my legs are broken."

Lan Jiu was taken aback, "I, I didn't mean that..." He was just worried about Lan Ting's physical condition.

If Yuan Lao saw that Lan Jiu and Lan Ying could still put on the airs of elders, now that he saw Lan Ting, he immediately felt that he couldn't bear the old face.

Lan Ting patted his stupid brother comfortingly, and came over to greet Yuan Qing kindly, "Is Mr. Yuan feeling better? I have piled up a lot of supplements. You know my situation. I don't need them. I will leave later." I'll send someone to bring you some."

Although Liuze could stop Heci on the street and say that he could not treat Lan Ting, but now that he was caught by the client, he was still too embarrassed to raise his head.

Yuan Qing glared at his little apprentice.The more guilty he was, the more he felt that Lan Ting's every word was hurting him!

Here, Lan Ting signaled others to take Lan Jiu back, and then looked at Old Yuan as if nothing had happened, "I just saw He Ci resigned, if you don't mind, let me show Old Yuan the way."

So by the time Di Que realized something was wrong and wanted to leave with He Ci, it was already too late.

Maomao was also in the middle of the chat, when he saw Lan Ting coming from the corner of his eyes, he stood up in shock, and frantically made a somewhat flawed disguise.

When he joined the underground street back then, Lan Ting had repeatedly told him that the privileged should never show their faces.Because only in this way, they can have another identity when they leave the underground street.

After all, not all evolved beings accept their relationship to humans.

He Ci didn't understand why Maomao reacted so strongly, before he had time to ask, Di Que led him to stand up.

"Mr. Lan!" Lan Ting, whom He Ci had just met, stood behind him.

There was a real smile in Lan Ting's eyes, and he secretly blinked his left eye at He Ci.

Others couldn't see this little interaction, but Di Que could see it clearly. He took half a step forward and shielded He Ci behind him without any trace, "Lan Ting, didn't we just meet?"

Lan Ting said apologetically, "This time, Mr. Yuan has something to ask He Ci... a good thing."

Maomao looked around and felt that it was best to leave now...

"Hey! Mao Mao!" He Ci pulled his sleeve, blinked, and quietly stuffed a package into his arms, "Thank you for today."

Maomao was stunned for a moment, the weight in his hand was already more than two night pearls! He pursed his lips, and said seriously, "Next time I come to change things, I will give you a cheaper price."

Heci couldn't hold back, and nodded with a smile.

The atmosphere on their side was harmonious, but Liu Ze was taken aback by Lan Ting's words.

Has He Ci met him?Liu Ze opened his eyes wide and looked at He Ci in shock, the words "Really" were almost written on his face.

Heci touched his nose, not knowing how to respond.He really doesn't know Liu Ze well!

Yuan Qing on the side thought for a while, and speculated that He Ci and Lan Ting had reached an agreement, and now it is impossible to say in front of Lan Ting that He Ci should not let He Ci treat him.

He can only accept He Ci as an apprentice first, and then find an excuse to push him away.

Yuan Qing arranged the routine clearly in his heart, and asked immediately, "My child, the healing ability can become stronger if you have the right guidance. Good talents should not be wasted, so I want to accept you as a child." only."

Crane Ci:? ? ?

At this time, Di Que introduced him in a low voice, "Yuan Qing, the red-crowned crane, has healing abilities."

The confused He Ci suddenly thought of the only healing ability that Di Que had mentioned before, and made a judgment instantly, this is another big boss!

Heci backed away quietly, let's forget it, he doesn't really have healing abilities... Sure enough, a lie needs countless lies to cover up!

What should I do, do you want to say something to ease the atmosphere!?

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan."

Di Que suddenly raised his hand to encircle He Ci, and deliberately hooked his fingers around He Ci's pocket and fiddled with it back and forth, "But... the kid just evolved this year, and the family doesn't want him to go out to suffer at such a young age. Let's see in a few years."

Declined.

Yuan Qing had recognized Di Que a long time ago. Although he felt uncomfortable being humiliated, he suppressed it and didn't show it.

At this time, Liu Ze cheered up behind Yuan Qing, "Master! He Ci has just evolved and has a bright future! I have to save him!"

Yuan Qing: ...This silly apprentice! Are you sure he needs your help!!

There is no way, Yuan Qing was also called by Liu Ze to help him, and now he can only bite the bullet, "Patriarch Di Que, none of us has suffered, you don't need to say more about how important this foundation is... "

He Ci listened to their back-and-forth conversations, and suddenly felt like the child was about to go to a cram school just after elementary school!

Does he not have the right to speak!?

In the end Di Que shook his head and interrupted Yuan Qing, "Of course I trust your ability. However, I'm still here, so there's no need for Heci to leave home to endure hardships."

He Ci's heart trembled, he turned his head quietly, and saw Di Que's indifferent face when he looked into his eyes.

Then how did he say such misleading words!

The corners of Yuan Qing's mouth twitched slightly after being choked back, Di Que was acting with him, everything was boring!

Speechless for a while, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lan Ting saw enough of Di Que's eyes open and talking nonsense, so he raised his hand to his lips to hide his smile.

Then he coughed lightly, "I suggest that Mr. Yuan give Heci some time to think about it. After all, the meeting will last nearly three months."

"However, I have something to do now, and I want to ask some help." Lan Ting caressed his wings, he had to speak.

Although he still doesn't know why Liu Ze was in trouble after he was injured, but Lan Ting has already looked down on Lan Ting after so many years.

The dull pain in his chest reminds Lan Ting that he is running out of time.If it's because of me that the bluebird family turned against Yuan Qing and Liu Ze... the gain outweighs the loss.

Seeing Lan Ting's occasional loneliness, Yuan Lao turned his face away a little bit unbearably, and stopped talking.

"Actually, today, I..." Lan Ting was interrupted by Liu Ze's voice in the middle of speaking.

"Mr. Lan Ting." The other party strode forward, frowning, with a look of death, "I want to see your injury again."

Lan Ting was stunned for a moment, his fingertips hanging by his side trembled slightly, and he maintained a relaxed expression for a long time before he said, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden? Actually..."

Liu Ze lowered his head and continued, "I won't charge you, but I can't guarantee whether the treatment will be effective."

Lan Ting looked at Yuan Qing who was silent, wondering what changed Liu Ze's mind.

Although Lan Ting kept telling himself, "I have to accept my fate", the violent heartbeat that seemed to come alive suddenly let him know that, in fact, he still didn't want to give up from the bottom of his heart.

But during the movement, Lan Ting calmed down from the heavy falling feeling behind him, and he also saw Liu Ze's defense, it didn't look like he really wanted to treat him.

"Then, if it succeeds, I will try my best to meet the three requirements. Of course, the reward should be given, but... it may not reach your price."

Lan Ting talked about some material remuneration, and was taken aback by Heci.As expected of the person who manages the assembly, how rich!

Liu Ze doesn't care about these things, he also knows that he can't cure Lan Ting, so he can only procrastinate for a while.

"Mr. Lan, are any of the three conditions acceptable?" He Ci suddenly asked in a low voice.

"As long as I can do it, it won't harm the race." He stroked his unconscious wings, lowered his eyes and smiled.

To put it to the extreme, as long as it can make him fly, even if it means killing him, Lan Ting will never complain.

They didn't speak loudly. Although the other passers-by were curious about what was going on here, they only dared to pretend to pass by and stop for a while. With Lan Ting's guards around, passers-by couldn't hear clearly.

It's just that Di Que hadn't watched much of the drama before he realized that Heci had let go of his hand.For a moment, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Heci also stepped forward and said firmly, "Mr. Lan, can I follow and see your wings?"

As long as Lan Ting keeps his word, He Ci thinks he can still give it a try, if he succeeds...

"He Ci! You don't have to worry about this matter, I can do it myself." Liu Ze made up his mind and wanted to do it by himself.

Yuan Qing was dazed by his apprentice and He Ci, what do these two dolls mean?How did you start fighting?This is different from what Ruze told him!

Di Que didn't care what Yuan Qing and Liu Ze wanted to do, he pulled Heci past him, his dark and shiny eyes reflected the bright shadow of the torch, and just stared at Heci without saying a word.

Heci shrank his neck nervously, and explained in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother, don't you think that if I succeed, I can abduct Mr. Lan, no, take him back?"

There are already two birds in the family, not this one more.Lan Ting can manage the gathering so well, and is fully capable of making the emperor penguin population more "developed."

Moreover, as the person who manages the assembly, does he know a little more about human beings?

But Di Que didn't know what He Ci was thinking, he just couldn't believe it: not only to help Lan Ting, but also to bring him back? ? ?

"Of course." Lan Ting ignored Di Que's unfriendly gaze, and pointed to the ancient tree above, "Let's go up and rest for a while before we continue talking."

A group of people followed Lan Ting to a special passage. With the help of the torches on both sides, Heci found that this was not the way he came, but the steps dug inside the old tree?

Because Lan Jiu would use supernatural powers to alienate the ancient tree when nothing happened, so their family's activities inside the ancient tree would not affect its normal growth.

"Heci, this time you just follow along and look around. If even Yuan Lao can't solve the problem, let's help find a solution." Several people walked in the spiral staircase, Di Que deliberately did not lower his voice, including Lan Ting's guards They all heard this sentence very clearly.

Lan Ting, who was walking ahead, walked steadily, without looking back, and without speaking.

Yuan Qing nodded in satisfaction, indicating that Liu Ze could feel at ease.In fact, it is enough for Liuze to inherit his ability, but Liuze insists that he can't let Heci follow his old path, which is considered Heci's good luck.

Only He Ci looked at Di Que's brows and eyes that seemed to soften a lot under the firelight, and knew that Di Que was giving him a choice, and he could quit.

Heci pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

At this time, Lan Ting suddenly sighed. He raised his hand and brushed the veins of the trees next to him, "I am very grateful to you for your willingness to help. During the rally, my place will always be open for everyone, and you can come to see me at any time."

Lan Ting has endured this kind of life for many years, no matter whether it can be cured or not, he has no complaints.

Birds who are used to flying suddenly have to rely on their feet for everything... Lan Ting lowered his eyes. He thought of that depressive time, and his eyes were dark.

When he was first injured, the clan immediately invited Liuze over, but this "miracle doctor" changed his face after seeing the injury, and then made things difficult for him.

The clan couldn't afford a huge reward, and after repeatedly confirming that Lan Ting became "disabled", the people around him left him with various reasons. That was the most difficult time for Lan Ting... Fortunately, he I'm used to it now.

"arrive."

Several people arrived at the resting place of Lanting, which is also a space inside the ancient tree, decorated with vegetation, which is very fresh.

In order to take care of Lan Ting's wings, the door was doubled in width and the interior space was extra high.

Through the opening similar to a window, you can also see the afterglow of the setting sun like a fire in the distance.

The shape of the furniture here is very strange, all specially made to match the pair of wings of Lan Ting.

After several people were seated one after another, Liu Ze put on a baby face and mobilized his ability to check Lan Ting's wings.

He Ci quietly observed Liu Ze's movements, and also tentatively felt Lan Ting's situation.After a while, Liu Ze frowned and looked at Master, shaking his head with an ugly expression.

He still can't do anything about the wings, but the degree of necrosis has spread from the back to the body.

"Is it more serious?" Lan Ting was very calm.

"I will work hard." Liu Ze didn't answer directly, but Lan Ting already knew the answer.

Lan Ting smiled, "No matter what the result is, as long as you don't dislike it, you will be the guests of my mountain bluebird family."

He Ci heard the deep meaning in Lan Ting's words, and looked at him in shock.

This is, don't you believe it can be cured?

The five of them huddled together and had nothing to say, barely maintaining the harmony on the surface, and Di Que blocked Yuan Qing's words of wanting to accept disciples.

After a few back and forth, Yuan Qing walked away in a fit of anger, and Liu Ze followed without much hesitation.

Crane Ci could vaguely hear words like "I don't know what is good or bad".

Lan Ting tilted his head to watch the master and apprentice disappear into the stairwell, and shook his head with a smile, "Liu Ze really learned ten percent of Yuan's temper."

Seeing his appearance, Di Que frowned more and more, "Are you really accepting your fate?"

"Patriarch Di Que still has prejudice against me?" Lan Ting walked to the window and looked at the forest that was dyed golden by the sun. "Birth, old age, sickness and death are just a matter of priority."

Under the human form, Lan Ting couldn't retract her wings, so she could only hang down behind her like a pair of beautiful ornaments.

Even if he changed back to his body, his wings would be unconscious and he wouldn't be able to fly at all.

His disillusioned look made Di Que a little complicated.

In fact, the first time Emperor Que suffered a setback after his evolution was at the hands of Lan Ting.After confronting each other a few times, his impression of Lan Ting was that he talked sweetly and had too many thoughts.However, it is barely considered an opponent.

"You can see it." Di Que said casually, then turned his head to look at the silent Heci.

He Ci has not spoken for a long time, but nervously stroked the wooden sign in his hand.

Di Que sighed, and took his hand, "Heci, do what you want, I shouldn't be your pressure."

When he finally got up and was about to leave, he firmly believed, "Mr. Lan! I, I will work hard."

Lan Ting was slightly stunned. He originally wanted to say that he might not live to that time, but when he turned his head and saw the wooden sign in He Ci's hand, "He Ci, do you sympathize with me?"

"I'm giving you the wooden plaque just as an apology, nothing else."

"The underground street was built after my wings were injured, so the sculpture on it is... a struggling bird." Lan Ting's tone was calm, as if the self he was talking about was another person.

At that time, he was dazzled by anger and despair, and sooner or later, he would definitely come back intact.

"But now that I think about it, I was naive enough back then." Lan Ting frowned and waved to him.

"Heci, don't learn from me."

Crane Ci sat on the soft bed, caressing the green leaves in his hand.

Although he didn't really have the ability to heal, but today he learned from Liu Ze to detect Lan Ting's physical condition.

Necrosis, not just the wings.

After thinking about it, He Ci got up and closed the doors and windows. Just now Di Que told him that he would go out to eat together later, so he directly picked out a half-withered weed from the bunch of Zhu Yu grass on the bed.

He tried to control the force, to unclog the dry part...

In the next moment, with an inaudible cracking sound, the leaves shattered into powder.

Heci frowned, holding a piece of Zhuyu grass in his mouth, and continued to try again and again without belief.

After the other clansmen went to participate in the night activities of the assembly one after another, Di Que, who hadn't waited for the people, went directly downstairs to the gate of Heci.

But he suddenly thought of something, the hand that pulled the door stopped in the air, and then knocked a few times with his fingers.

no respond.

Di Que knocked on the door again, with a slightly urgent tone, "Heci? Are you asleep?"

The room was still quiet, and no one answered.

Di Que's men exerted force, and the unlocked door was pulled open, and then a large green plant "swelled" out!

"This..." Di Que stared in astonishment at Zhu Yucao, who almost covered the entire room.

"Crane speech?"

Di Que looked at the window that had been closed from the inside, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to call He Ci with a straight face, but still got no response.

He frowned, walked carefully along the gap to the bed, and groped carefully.

Finally, he peeled off a few green leaves and saw a small crane speech.

The fluff on his body was still dyed a little pink, and he fell asleep under the soft pure white cotton quilt.

Now he can't scare him with a stern face, Di Que couldn't laugh or cry, he muttered to himself: "You're carrying me behind your back again...how dare you be so courageous."

He put away the Zhu Yu grass that was full of the house, closed the door, and then calmed down and reached out to poke Heci, "Heci, wake up?"

Heci opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the enlarged version of Emperor Que's handsome face.

"Well, I made a lot of Zhu Yucao...but I didn't do it on purpose," Heci closed his eyes in a daze, "they can be exchanged for things..."

Di Que rubbed his little head, trying to get angry but couldn't get angry, so he could only grit his teeth and scare him, "I'll settle accounts with you when you wake up."

However, Heci was stimulated by this head press, he became more sober, and suddenly found that he had become smaller again.

This time, he transformed back into a human form without a teacher, turned over and shrank into the quilt, while muttering to warn Di Que, "I have transformed back, you can't rub it anymore."

If it wasn't for He Ci lying directly next to him, Di Que really couldn't hear what he said.

It can be seen that Heci was really tired, Di Que also resigned to his fate and lay on his side on the bed, patted Heci's back lightly, "Okay, go to sleep."

"Wait until you wake up."
