After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Extra 7.2

Touch? That was even more impossible now – one wrong move and you’d get shocked numb.

The contrast between the tiger cub in his memory and how big it was now was too shocking. Uncle was moved to tears!

Ming Jie said regretfully, “And the snow leopard cub too, I really miss when He was small.”

Back then He was so tiny, often lying on Xiu Si’s leg. Because Xiu Si lacked magical power and couldn’t supply magic to Him, He often had difficulty moving around, only staying close to Xiu Si, active only near him.

Just thinking about that scene was healing. Wang Chang’er felt happy again.

To be honest, one of his biggest regrets in life was not petting the tiger’s paw. And now… well, there was no chance anymore.

The show continued playing. Next, some cats appeared, and the production team also visited Valefor and Barbatos’s studio.

When the door opened,

[Oh my god!!]

[Teacher is too amazing…]

The world-class painting level made even the professionals among the netizens widen their eyes.

Someone was dumbfounded and unconsciously said [Is it really that amazing?]

But the next second, an old collector jumped out and said, [How is it not amazing? This piece is worth at least 10 million!]

[More than that, if it’s for sale, I’m willing to pay an even higher price]

A rich brother suddenly appeared.

[Who’s competing with me?]

Another rich sister made a shocking entrance.

The watching netizens were all dumbfounded.

[Damn, although I thought it was impressive during the livestream, now seeing the prices, I can only say the sixth and eighth sisters are truly divine]

The big shots meeting in the comments, the terrifying amounts simply dazzled the eyes of the watching crowd.

Before leaving the studio, everyone was somewhat dazed.

Fortunately, there were cats right after!

[The gray cat baby is so cute~ want to pet]

[Dad, are you really not considering opening a cat cafe?]

[Let me share more good articles, all on Jinjiang Literature City]

After walking a few steps, there was another silver tabby cat, super elegant!

Wang Chang’er was melted by the cuteness.

But right after, Xiaolin was bold enough to dare say he wanted to meet Second Brother.

Ming Jie immediately got agitated, “No, what’s ahead is hell!”

However, a group of netizens in the comments were already laying flowers.

[The moment to witness divine beauty has arrived!!]

[Is it really that exaggerated? Let me declare first that my aesthetic standards are quite-]

That netizen hadn’t even finished typing when Marbas opened the door, and he was directly stunned by the shock.

[Second Brother——!!]

The comments exploded, possibly the most comment explosion in not just the show’s history, but variety show history.

Stunningly beautiful, overwhelmingly beautiful.

Beautiful to the point of being terrifying. Beautiful enough to turn the world upside down!

[Is this beauty even possible for humans to possess?]

[I- I’m breaking apart on the spot]

It was just a few seconds, but everyone was deeply shocked, as if the other’s mere existence had some kind of terrifying magical power.

Ming Jie wasn’t surprised by their reactions, he was just shocked that He was willing to appear.

Wang Chang’er said, “It’s probably because Xiu likes this show.”

However, Xiaolin being stunned by the beauty was too dramatic, making the following recording even more comedic.

“Look at the time, isn’t Xiu supposed to be back?”

“Yes, he should be picking up the little one to go home at this time.”

“Little Black Cloud?”

When Ming Jie heard She was going to school, his face showed clear shock.

The God of Curses going to kindergarten, no matter how you thought about it, seemed a bit off, right?

Wang Chang’er nodded, “I know, because I picked Her up once before too.”

Speaking of which, She seemed to have some troubles back then, not saying a word on the way home.

It wasn’t good when children didn’t speak, what was wrong with Her?

Just as Wang Chang’er was thinking, Ming Jie’s voice broke his train of thought.

“Look, Brother Xiu appeared!”

[Make way, father’s here~]

[So elegant! Oh, a Siamese cat popped out from his collar]

[LOL, He really likes cuddling with father, such a clingy one!]

Ming Jie exclaimed happily, “Brother Xiu finally came home.”

Wang Chang’er smiled and said, “But it’s almost dinner time, right?”

What he said was indeed true, because dinner time was approaching, so Xiu Si spoke rather quickly.

Xiaolin hurried to ask questions, all very meaningful ones.

The interview was only about five minutes long, making netizens feel disappointed, all wanting to see more episodes.

Before the show ended, Xiaolin summarized, “This is the most magical family I’ve ever interviewed. Although there are many family members, they all care for each other, the family atmosphere is warm, leaving a deep impression.”

Netizens all said, not just a deep impression, it was engraved in their bones, unforgettable for life.

[Please make a second episode! Want to see a reality show]

[Although I want to see it too, the comment above got the wrong show type lol]

The show ended.

Ming Jie sighed, “That was really nice.”

Wang Chang’er nodded, “The niece and nephew cats were too cute.”

So your focus is a bit off, right? Ming Jie’s mouth twitched slightly.

Wang Chang’er took out his phone and sent several messages to Xiu Si.

Ming Jie paused, then followed suit.

“Nice show interview.”

“Agreed.”

They chatted for a while more, just in time for kindergarten dismissal.

Through the glass, Wang Chang’er happened to see some children going home with their parents.

Xiu’s child should be home too, right?

Wang Chang’er thought for a moment, his finger hovering over the screen for a while, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t.

He silently said, “Xiu will probably pay attention to it.”

****

On the other side.

Ten minutes ago, the kindergarten teacher reminded the children, “Tomorrow is parents’ day, have you all notified your parents?”

The children answered in unison that they had. Except for Little Black Cloud.

She reacted slowly, and by the time She realized She needed to respond, the moment had passed. She opened Her big eyes, somewhat at a loss.

School was dismissed. All the children went home.

However, She didn’t leave immediately, holding a math test paper with only ten points, Her gaze downcast, black eyes seemingly containing a layer of tears.

She was stupid. They all said so.

She didn’t want to be stupid, so She told Father She wanted to go to school, and Father smiled and said She was growing up, She was so happy hearing that, thinking that as long as She went to school, She would definitely become smart. But She tried so hard, and Her best math score was still only ten points.

“Five……”

Little Black Cloud lowered Her head, looking like She was about to cry, but when She saw the time, She immediately snapped out of it, packed up Her test paper, wiped Her eyes, and quickly ran to the teacher’s office.

At the kindergarten gate, His Father was already waiting for Her!

She happily ran to Father’s side.

Father patted Her head, asking softly, “How was school today?”

She nodded vigorously. Stupid Her had a stupid mouth too, didn’t know how to speak, could only nod like a little chick pecking rice.

She followed Father home, not daring to mention parents’ day. Her deskmate seemed to say they would announce grades at parents’ day, She didn’t want Father to know Her grades were poor, so She didn’t dare tell Father.

But if tomorrow came, and other children’s fathers and mothers all came, while Hers didn’t…

Thinking of this, Little Black Cloud lowered Her head.

After getting home, She quickly ran back to Her room, transforming back to Her original form floating in the air.

Wuwu what should She do. Little Black Cloud anxiously spun around in the room, drip-drop rain starting to fall.

She wanted to ask Her brothers and sisters, but She was too stupid, She always forgot Her brothers’ and sisters’ names and titles, feeling like She would get hit on the head as soon as She opened Her mouth.

She had seen it before, when the little black bird called the wrong name, He was severely hit on the head by Brother Morax.

It seemed so painful.

Little Black Cloud worried for several hours, then saw it was already 10 PM, time for good babies to go to bed!

She seemed to hear footsteps, immediately transformed into human form and curled up in bed.

Sure enough, there was a gentle knock on the door.

She nervously covered Her head with the blanket.

And as usual, Her Father opened the door to check on Her condition.

She thought Father would leave, but Father came in.

Wh-why? Had Father discovered something!

In Her nervousness, She found that Father just came in to adjust Her blanket because He was worried She couldn’t breathe with the blanket over Her head.

Only after Father left did She finally relax.

But what should She do? Tomorrow was parents’ day.

At Her young age, She bore too much worry and tension. In the end, She still didn’t tell Father, and didn’t dare tell Her brothers and sisters either.

The next day still came.

This wasn’t usually a breakfast day, but Her Father unusually made Her breakfast, sitting across the table smiling at Her.

At Her young age, She knew shame, not daring to raise Her eyes to look at Father.

Her brothers and sisters were all so smart, if Father knew She was stupid, He definitely wouldn’t like Her anymore.

Thinking of this, She wanted to cry a little, but tried hard to hold it in.

Father probably hadn’t discovered anything, and continued to take Her to school. When they reached the gate, they separated, because She said She was grown up now and didn’t need Father to walk Her in anymore. She was stupid, but She knew that if they walked a few more steps, Her secret wouldn’t be kept.

Father nodded and said, “Mm, have fun at school.”

“Mm mm.”

She kept Her head down, not looking at Father as She ran off.

After reaching the classroom, sure enough, other children’s parents had all arrived. They gradually took their seats, chatting and laughing with their children, only She sat alone.

She lowered Her head, feeling some regret, Her eyes stinging.

She shouldn’t have gone to school, She was stupid, TV said Her kind of stupidity was determined by genes, no matter how hard She tried She couldn’t change it.

She couldn’t be as smart as Her brothers and sisters, if Father knew, He would definitely be disappointed in Her.

She continued lowering Her head, hands clutching Her skirt, body trembling slightly.

The children around seemed to notice Her situation, casting some glances.

“Um……” She felt more dejected.

Then, the teacher arrived.

She knew the teacher would take attendance to see if everyone’s parents had arrived.

After calling a dozen names, they had all arrived.

“Is Xiao Yun’s parents here?”

When it came to Her, She shuddered, almost tearing Her little skirt.

However, a gentle voice responded.

“I’m here.”

Little Black Cloud opened Her eyes wide, Her whole body freezing.

“Are you Xiao Yun’s parent?”

“Yes. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Yun.”

“Not at all, it’s what I should do.”

Little Black Cloud thought the teacher would tell Father about Her poor grades, but the teacher didn’t.

She raised Her head, looking at the teacher in disbelief.

The teacher gave Her a gentle smile.

She paused, then turned to look behind Her.

His Father was standing in front of the blackboard, smiling at Her, as if His eyes only saw Her.

She paused, mind blank, eyes stinging.

Then, Father gestured toward the window with His eyes.

She was startled and turned to look at the window.

By the window were both human forms and cat forms, His brothers and sisters had all come! The human forms seemed to not want to draw attention, so they all wore sunglasses or hats and scarves, but their figures and aura still dominated the scene.

Little Black Cloud was excited, finally unable to hold back Her tears.

Father, brothers and sisters wuwu……

After that, parents’ day proceeded smoothly, though there seemed to be some small incidents.

Perhaps because the people by the window were too eye-catching, many people couldn’t help looking there.

Among them, the golden-haired youth seemed to be talking to someone on the phone about buying the kindergarten or something. He must have been joking, right?

****

After parents’ day, as the sun set, Little Black Cloud walked home with Father, their shadows slowly stretching on the road.

He held Father’s hand, raised Her head to look at Father’s eyes, and asked, “If- if I’m stu-stupid, will Father still like me?”

The black-haired youth answered without any hesitation, “Like you.”

Little Black Cloud blinked, feeling something overflow in Her heart.

The black-haired youth continued, “Besides, you’re not stupid, you just learn slowly.”

She was stunned for a moment, looking at the youth’s eyes, blankly saying, “Re-really?”

“Yes.”

The black-haired youth nodded, slowly saying, “We have a lot of time, we can change slowly, no need to hurry.”

She opened Her eyes wide, as if suddenly gaining 10 intelligence points.

Oh right, She had lots and lots of time, as long as She learned slowly, She would definitely become smart!

She was delighted in Her heart, ran in front of the youth, and opened Her arms saying, “Father, want a hug!”

Hearing this, the youth smiled, squatted down and picked Her up in his arms.

“Let’s go home.”

“Mm!”

“Next time tell Father about parents’ day, okay?”

“Um.”

She hurriedly nodded.
