500 Youâre Finally Back
That night, Huanhuan finally saw Little Brat.
In the pot, the twin fruit had already absorbed all the blood. The originally fair fruit skin was now suffused with a faint red luster, like the delicate skin of a baby.
It struggled out of the pot and stretched its limbs. âIâm finally awake!â
Huanhuan picked it up and stared at it with wide eyes. âAre you really Little Brat?â
âWhat did you call me? You should call me âDaddyâ!â
Huanhuan poked its round white belly and smiled evilly. âYouâre not like a father now. Youâre more like my son.â
Little Brat said angrily, âHow dare you poke my stomach? How rude!â
Huanhuan leaned over and kissed his cheek. âYouâre really cute like this!â
Little Brat immediately blushed, and his tone became even more exasperated. âYouâre even teasing your father. Youâre crazy!â
After Huanhuan smiled, she hugged it and sighed in satisfaction. âYouâre finally back.â
Little Brat pressed against her chest and couldnât help but poke her chest. âEven a washboard isnât as flat as your chest.â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
She grabbed the twin fruitâs slender legs and swung them in midair.
Little Brat shouted, âLet go of me! Iâm so dizzy! Iâm gonna vomit!â
âThatâs the price you pay for laughing at me for being flat-chested.â
âThis is too much! Iâm being bullied even when Iâm telling the truth. Is there any justice in this world?!â
Huanhuan swung his legs even more vigorously.
Little Brat screamed even more miserably. âHelp! Someone save me!â
Huanhuan smiled sinisterly. âScream! Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you.â
â¦
The prophet walked to the door and was about to see how Little Brat was recovering. When he heard Little Bratâs miserable cries, he subconsciously stopped and smiled.
Little Brat noticed the prophet standing at the door and immediately shouted at him, âProphet, save me!â
Huanhuan turned to look at the prophet. âWhatâs the matter?â
The prophet thought about it seriously, then said, âI was just passing by.â
Then, he turned around and walked away calmly.
Little Brat shouted, âNo matter what, weâre still one. You canât be so cold-blooded!â
Unfortunately, the prophet was walking too quickly and did not stop at all.
The words âcold-blooded and heartlessâ were vividly displayed by his actions!
After losing his last target for help, Little Brat was brutally tortured by Huanhuan. He lay on the carpet like a rag doll with a hopeless expression on his face. He felt that his last dignity as a system had been trampled on.
How tragic!
Huanhuan was tired of playing. She sat down beside him and poked his white belly. âLetâs talk.â
Little Brat pretended to be dead and didnât move.
Huanhuan started talking to him.
She told him everything that had happened after he left.
From the moment she left Dragon Island to seeing the prophet in the City of 10,000 Beasts and finding Xuan Wei in Dark Moon Cityâ¦
It took a long time for her to finish talking.
In the end, Huanhuan couldnât help but ask, âIs what Xuan Wei said before he died true?â
Little Brat finally opened his mouth. âMost of them are true.â
âMost?â Huanhuan quickly asked. âIs there a small portion thatâs not true?â
âXuan Wei knows a lot more than ordinary beasts, but heâs still a distance away from the entire truth, so you donât have to believe everything he says.â
Huanhuan stared down at him. âHow much do you know?â
âI know most of what the prophet knows.â
Before Huanhuan could ask, Little Brat quickly said, âBut I canât tell you those things.â
Huanhuan was a little disappointed. âWhy canât you tell me?â
âBecause itâs not time yet.â
âDo you have to wait for the right time to tell me?â
âThere are some things that have to be said when the time is right. Otherwise, itâs easy to cause unpredictable consequences. Just like back thenâ¦â Little Brat paused and forced himself to change what he was about to say. âAnyway, I canât tell you, so itâs useless for you to ask me.â
Huanhuan snorted. âYouâre keeping me in suspense.â
Little Brat said, âFate is formed by many gears. Every gear is an extremely important link. Everything we say now is also a link. If we say the wrong thing at the wrong time, the order of the gears will be disrupted.â
Huanhuan scratched her cheek. âI donât understand.â
âItâs fine if you donât understand. Just listen to me. I wonât hurt you.â
Huanhuan looked at Little Bratâs lazy appearance and remembered what the prophet had said. She couldnât help but ask, âIf the prophet decides to use me as a sacrifice in the end, will you help him or me?â
Little Brat glanced at her. âYour question is the same as asking me who Iâll save first if my mother and wife were to fall into the water. Itâs especially stupid.â
Huanhuan poked his white belly again. âSo who will you save first?â
Little Brat twisted his body to avoid her hand and snorted. âI wonât save either of them.â
âWhy?â
âBecause I donât have a mother or a wife. I only have a silly daughter.â
Huanhuan chuckled. âDoes that mean youâll choose to help me if itâs either me or the prophet?â
âOf course. Iâll always be on your side.â
Huanhuan was very touched, but she was still puzzled. âWhatâs so good about me that youâre willing to disobey the prophet and help me?â
âDo you want to hear the truth or a lie?â
Huanhuan said cautiously, âTell me a lie first.â
Little Brat got up and hugged her wrist. He confessed affectionately, âThe prophet gave me life and soul, but he didnât give me a heart. And you happened to give me this heart, so Iâve decided to do whatever I want.â
Huanhuan hugged him hard. âYou said it so well! Iâm so touched!â
Little Brat struggled. âThese are all lies! Iâm not telling the truth yet!â
âNo, thatâs the truth. Donât say anything else.â
âI want to say that the truth is that I⦠Mmph!â
Huanhuan covered his mouth, not letting him finish.
In the end, Little Brat was tired and fell asleep. He could not finish telling the truth.
Huanhuan carefully placed him in the pot and carried him back to the guest room.
Bai Di and Xue Ling were curious to see the little guy.
âIs this your friend?â
Huanhuan nodded. âYes, his name is Little Brat.â
Xue Ling leaned over and sniffed it. âWhy do I smell the aura of a prophet on him?â
Huanhuan was very suspicious. âWhy is your nose so sharp? Your original form is actually a dog, right?â
Xue Ling sneered. âHave you ever seen a dog as beautiful as me?!â
Huanhuan was speechless at his shamelessness.
Since she had nothing to do today, Huanhuan decided to go down the mountain to shop. She brought Little Brat along.
Little Brat sat on her shoulder. He was small, fair, and soft.
Xue Ling said, âI keep feeling like youâre going out with your son.â
Little Brat immediately exploded. âWho are you calling her son? Iâm her father!â
