Chapter 202

Look how happily the Year Beast is eating!

See, she didn't have any objections.

"Yeah, that's true."

Having heard of it over the years, I do understand Xi's subtext.

It simply means that no matter what happens, Xi will always be there to protect you.

A typical tsundere.

So, aside from Xi in the normal Worldline, who also had a subtle, hesitant expression,

That year, they felt relieved and turned back to look at the grave-digging site.

By this time, the rubble and dirt that Ayao had dug out of Sui Mausoleum had already piled up into a small hill to the side.

Xi Bubble stood on the mound of earth like a cat, supervising Ayao's work.

They dug until they didn't know how deep or how long they dug.

The Ayao suddenly stopped digging the hole and then began to squawk.

The hearts of everyone in the Sui family immediately tightened.

This is... they've dug up the body of an 80-year-old?

Before the Sui family could think further, they saw Ayao his head, bend down, and then bite the Year Beast's tail. He began to use his hands and feet to try to pull the Year Beast out of the pit.

As Ayao retreated, the majestic and enormous body of the Year Beast was gradually dragged along by Ayao and revealed to everyone.

However, the Year Beast did not die; she was merely in a near-death slumber.

So as the body of the Year Beast gradually reappeared in the light of day, a huge dragon claw suddenly slammed Ayao to the ground.

The Year Beast had apparently woken up at some point, turned around, opened its dragon mouth, and bit down on Ayao.

"Gah—?!"

Ayao, who was diligently playing by biting the tail of the Year Beast, was suddenly bitten back and immediately cried out.

But Ayao is not a living being; it was merely drawn, its true form just a blob of ink.

So when the Year Beast took a bite, not only did it not get any meat, it also got its mouth full of ink.

Watching Ayao vanish into a puddle of water, the Sui Year Beast, spitting out a mouthful of ink, looked around with a bewildered and confused expression.

At first glance, he spotted Xi Bubble standing on the mound of earth.

The Year Beast was stunned for a moment again.

What is this round thing? Has the sesame dumpling come to life?

Chapter 317 Xi: Caw! You lecherous scoundrel, save me!

Xi Bubble is very large.

However, as a derivative of Xi, Xi Bubble perfectly inherits the advantages of its original form—

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In public, Xi Bubble wears a smug, adorable expression.

But now that the Year Beast was actually alive, Xi Bubble panicked immediately.

It quickly used its little mouth to bite the brush, and then began to draw Ayao continuously.

As it drew several small, squawking Ayao, they pounced on the Year Beast.

Although the Year Beast was momentarily stunned, it didn't hold back.

With a flick of its tail, it killed one; with a bite, it killed another; and with a swipe of its paw, it crushed another into a puddle of ink.

During this time, the Year Beast also kept twisting its body, breaking and throwing off all the taboos imposed on her and the sealing stakes that were binding her.

Only when it was no longer restrained did the Year Beast leap towards the direction of the Xi Bubble.

The ability of Xi Bubble to draw is one of the powers possessed by the Year Beast, so the Year Beast naturally knows exactly how to break it.

So it roared to the front of Xi Bubble, knocked the paintbrush out of Xi Bubble's mouth with its tail, and then opened its mouth to bite down on Xi Bubble.

The size comparison between Xi Bubble and the Year Beast is equivalent to trying to pick up a glutinous rice ball with chopsticks.

It's so big that you can't swallow it in one bite, and it's easy for it to get stuck in your throat.

So after trying for a long time, the Year Beast had no choice but to spit out the Xi Bubble with a "pui" sound.

As a result, the Xi Bubble rolled around on the ground several times before finally stopping.

This situation instantly made the Sui family members in the distance tense again.

If Xi hadn't remained expressionless, seemingly confident of victory, their eldest brother Chongyue and second brother Wang would probably have already made their move.

But Xi is now also wondering.

Does this Year Beast from the normal Worldline... possess reason and self-awareness?

Or is it just like the Year Beast on her wrist, acting solely on instinct?

As I was thinking this, I saw that the Xi Bubble, which had been gurgling for who knows how long, stood up again.

Looking at the dragon's saliva covering her body, and at the gaze of its 'true form' in the distance,

Xi Bubble suddenly became furious and embarrassed. She stood on her feet, clenched her little hands, and struck a pose that said, "I, this little kitten, am no pushover either!"

Then Xi Bubble charged forward and crashed headfirst into the waist of the Year Beast, rolling together in a heap.

These two are clearly the same size as Godzilla, but when they fight... it's like they're playing around with kids?

So much so that one moment Xi Bubble bumped into Year Beast, sending him rolling to the side, and the next moment Year Beast bit Xi Bubble's tail and carried her away...

"Uh... Mom...?"

After watching for a while, Nian couldn't help but ask, "Mom, are we just going to stand here and watch?"

Evening. "..."

Xi remained silent for a long time before finally reaching out and taking out a halo from the pocket of her skirt.

Then put it on your head.

"Mom, how did you turn into Sarkaz?"

Do you think I want this?

Only by wearing the halo can one fly, but once you're wearing it, the only way to take it off is to whine and beg Chen Ran, that lecherous scoundrel...

If it weren't for...

Xi felt increasingly cheated and glared at Nian with her small eyes.

Nian was bewildered by the glare, but could only shrink back and scratch his head.

Seeing this, Xi didn't pay any more attention.

She simply sighed softly, then sprouted wings and floated into the air.

It floated right up to both Xi Bubble and Year Beast before stopping and hovering in mid-air.

"Stop."

Xi spoke softly.

Although the noise wasn't loud, Xi Bubble and Year Beast actually stopped fighting.

After all, for Xi Bubble, Xi is its 'true form', while for Year Beast, Xi is 'a part' of her.

So naturally, the two of them stopped to see what Xi was going to do.

Xi simply took a deep breath, looked at the Year Beast, and said, "Sui, do you recognize me?"

If the Year Beast has regained its senses, then Year Beast will naturally respond.

Based on what the Year Beast said, Xi will decide what to do next: either Time Stop and take it all out with the Holy Sword, or use Mechanical God Descent to have Chen Ran capture the Year Beast.

If this Year Beast is also devoid of reason and acts solely on instinct, then it would be even easier to deal with.

So after asking the question, Xi waited quietly.

Waiting for the Year Beast to bring its head closer, it glanced at the Sui wrapped around Xi's wrist.

After looking around, the Year Beast sniffed again and touched Xi with its nose.

Then--

Suddenly, the Year Beast opened its mouth and bit down on Xi.

Evening. "..."

"Why do you Year Beast all like to swallow people whole? This one on my wrist is just like you."

Xi had already been devoured once, so she knew roughly what was going through the mind of the Year Beast in front of her.

So Xi wasn't flustered. She just sighed softly and said, "You scoundrel."

No one responded.

Xi was stunned. This wasn't what they had agreed on.

Didn't I say that as long as I call you by my favorite name, you'll come to save me?

Where are they?

Just as the Year Beast was about to bite down and close its mouth,

Xi finally panicked and quickly said:

"Enemy?"

"My lord?"

"Husband... husband?"

"This won't work either...?"

Xi called out several names, her cheeks growing increasingly red.

She took a deep breath and finally uttered the most shameful one—

"Dad... Dad!"

A gigantic hand finally tore through the sky and descended.

Then, with a swift movement, he grabbed the Year Beast and held it in his hand.

As the Year Beast roared and was snatched away by Chen Ran, Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xi became angrier the more she thought about it. Her face turned red, and she flew up and chased after Chen Ran's hand.

After returning from the planet model, Xi skillfully transferred her consciousness into the life-size figure.

Then he opened his eyes, sat up from the sofa,

Xi put on her shoes and strode over to Chen Ran's side, looking like she was about to interrogate him. "You lecherous scoundrel...!"

"Um?"

But when Chen Ran heard this, he actually turned around and looked at her.

When their eyes met, Xi immediately cowered. "You lecherous scoundrel, why didn't you save me before?"

"Didn't I save you? And why don't you call me by that name anymore Little Watermelon?"

"..., there's no such thing as a title, you're just a lecher."

"Sigh, I clearly heard you sweetly call me 'Dad Little Watermelon,' so I dropped everything and rushed to save my dear daughter. But you're turning your back on Little Watermelon now—"

"Shut up! Stop... stop talking!"

If it were just words like 'enemy' or 'husband,' Xi would blush but would just accept it.

But what is a 'Dad'? And what is a 'good daughter'?
