Chapter 9 Growing Up
Someday after that.Everyone in Guiliji had already lived in a new house, and Jiahe had grown up a bit.
An ordinary morning.
When I woke up in the morning, I still had the emptiness left in my head where the knowledge had recently been emptied by human artisans.With my arm around Morax's tail, I thought about that again.
So far, Moraxel hasn't told me...his other name.
Although I know, but I did not tell me, I always feel that something is not quite right.
kindness?Can my hand... hold Morax's tail?Holding such doubts, I slowly opened my eyes and raised my hand to take a look.
The slender fingers curled up, and I froze.
this size?
I directly pulled away Morax's entangled tail and sat up, condensing the rock mirror and looking at myself above it.I have indeed grown up a lot. It looks like a human thirteen or fourteen year old, with longer hair, a thinner face, and narrower eyes.
The juvenile form of a child has completely disappeared, and now I am more in line with the slender girlish form.
In other words, the clothes don't fit.
I looked down, and after all, not long ago, she gave me a lot of clothes, all of which were made by her and suitable for children.Not long after I wore it, it was broken by the sudden growth of the body... barely covering me, probably the last strength.
The dragon body around me suddenly moved, and then, the golden light dissipated, and Morax appeared in front of me.It's just that before I could see his face clearly, it was covered by something.
I raised my hand and touched it. The texture of this fabric is Morax's clothes?
I pulled off the face part.
Normally, Morax is always dressed in white with a hood and a golden pattern on it—in short, it looks like a robe with a rather simple craftsmanship. The inside is a black similar cloth, but it is closer to the [rock] on the arm. A black jacket with golden patterns is matched with black loose trousers, which are tightened at the ankles.
But now, he took off the white one and put it on me, which happened to be the hood of the clothes covering my face.
I stared at the cloth in my hand in confusion for a while, then turned my puzzled eyes to him again: "...What are you doing? Morax?"
I pulled his clothes off and stood up.
After all, the clothes I made couldn't hold on any longer, and with my movements, they were still torn into small pieces and fell down.And my body underneath is not naked either.
The golden piece of armor protects the upper body, and the small diamond fits along the ribs all the way to the hip bone. The white cloth that was originally piled up on the legs slides down as I get up, and the length reaches the calves.
It was also because of the sharp parts on the piece of armor and the addition of a part of the shoulder armor that the clothes I wore before were so thoroughly broken.
Morax: ...
He raised his hand to cover his face, covering his eyes.
"No, it's nothing. It's just that your residence needs to be considered."
I'm still a little worried... If I don't look at it under my eyes, I always feel like I'm going to lose it.But now this situation... is to the point where even the real body can't be fooled.
call.
He sighed inwardly.
Although I didn't expect it to come so soon, this is also a good opportunity... As I said at the end, transitional protection is not a good thing.
I was stunned: "Huh?" Why did the topic suddenly come here?
"Why? Don't you want to sleep with me?" But I still don't despise your bad sleeping position?I don't understand, and I don't want to.
Three of the four demon gods in Guiliji are of the rock attribute. After returning to Guiliji, I also tried to fall asleep next to her.But beside her who is also rich in rock elements, I can't rest in peace.
Not even furry Mark Hughes can really put me to sleep.
Only by Morax's side, only when the whole body is filled with his breath... I will feel as if I have returned to the ignorant time before I was born, surrounded and protected by the rock mountain that gave birth to me, and I feel extremely at ease.
I feel that Morax's aura seems to have become a little unlovable, which is really rare, after all, he is always full of rock's calmness—or inertness, just like his elemental power.
"..." Morax felt that no matter how he answered this question, it didn't seem right.He couldn't help being silent. How should I put it... The difference between men and women in human beings seems to her to be nothing.Apparently, now too.But after all, it is different, and the past is not the same as it is now.
Morax put down his hand, and he regained his composure. Although his color was very beautiful, he was filled with a look that reassured me. "No, but you've grown up, Chong Xiao, it's not appropriate to continue sleeping together. Whether it's for me, or for other people or demon gods, it should be like this."
He paused. "...This is the etiquette of human beings. As the guardians of human beings, we should also go to the countryside to do as the Romans do?"
Do as the locals do?
I frowned, thinking of Jiahe, if this is human etiquette, I really can't set a bad example for her... I finally nodded bitterly: "I know."
It's just that it's hard to really fall asleep in the future... But it's okay, after all, I don't need to sleep either.
However, Morax held something in his hand and stretched out his hand to me, looking at me beckoningly.So I simply opened his fingers and saw a scale lying in the palm of his hand.
It was dark in color, with an arc of golden light on the edge, half the size of his palm.
"Give it to me?" I hesitated, and I was also a little puzzled - when did he break off from his body?
"Does this bring you a little peace of mind?" he asked me.
I didn't expect him to see my thoughts, "...it doesn't matter if you don't." Even though I said that, I still took the scales.
As for how to carry it - I looked down, and then slightly adjusted the structure of the center of the breastplate, and there was a small groove, and the scales were put in, just right.
"It's a pity that the clothes I made before are gone, and I can't wear them anymore." I feel a little regretful.
"...I can do it for you too," Morax said. "I can make clothes, too."
I froze after hearing this, and looked at him with a strange shock.The demon god who looked like a young man looked calm and looked at me very seriously.
He doesn't lie.
So, it's true... But replacing the final appearance of threading needles and threads with his words, my eyes began to drift involuntarily: "You... know so much."
"Just know a thing or two." Morax said very modestly.
I don't think I'm complimenting him.
But after thinking about it, I still can't explain it, because Morax, who can fight and do handicrafts, is indeed quite powerful...
After a simple wash, I am also planning to build my own residence next door to him.
Morax lived not in a house, but in a cave embedded in the low stone wall of a mountain and spreading underground.The house in the regression set is centered here and radiates to the surroundings.
After all and Mark Hughes' residence is also on this mountain, after all on the top of the mountain, and Mark Hughes on the mountainside.
I rested my elbow on one hand and rested on my chin with the other, looking at the mountain in front of me and thinking.
Hmm... I'd prefer a smaller house if it wasn't as huge as Morax itself.Just enough for me to curl up and lie down, and I can go to his side for dinner, so the table and chairs are omitted-if Jiahe comes to play with me...so leave a little space for her.
I raised my hand, and the rock elements condensed like arms commanded, and in the mountain some distance from the ground, two stone slabs protruded horizontally against the steep mountain wall.
Then, two stone pillars stood up, covered with a roof crossed by horizontal stone slabs, the inner mountain wall sank inward a little bit, and the rock turned into elements and surged inward.
A door panel emerged from the hole, half-open.
And the inner structure is simpler, with an elliptical space - only a layer of stone wall is separated from the Morax site below.The stone platform is also a circle, but a depression is formed from the periphery to the center, and there are irregular protrusions on the edges—as if a stone slab that has not been compacted is warped.
At the four corners of the circular cave, there are lighting lamps made of rock artifacts for Jiahe, which dispel the darkness and illuminate a hazy space.
This operation naturally caused a slight tremor, and soon, after all and Mark Hughes came over.
"Little...Chongxiao?" The most surprised thing was after all, she looked at me who had grown up, and raised her hand to cover her mouth.Then, the eyes began to move back and forth between me and Morax.
I think she is a little confused, but I don't know why.
Probably because I suddenly grew up?Remembering that she always took care of me like a real child, I explained: "Didn't I say it before? Appearance doesn't mean anything. As long as I have enough strength, I will grow up naturally."
I am a demon god, not a real human cub.Even though I look young, I have already escaped ignorance and acquired intelligence.And the memory and knowledge from the soul will also make me grow and mature rapidly.
After all, he put down his hand, and then looked at Morax, "...so, did Zhongli know about it?" The demon god who looked like a child was actually no different from them.
She thought that Zhongli would let Xiao Chongxiao live with him because she thought she was young.Therefore, even if Xiao Chongxiao said not to underestimate her because of her appearance, she didn't care, she just thought it was a child's unique self-esteem.
But now... the girlish demon god has completely lost her childishness, and her every move is calm and unhurried, similar to Zhongli.Moreover, it was the first time she noticed that as long as Xiao Chongxiao was around, Zhongli's eyes would always follow her faintly.
Deliberately or inadvertently, it always ends up on Xiao Chongxiao.
The emotion in his eyes was different from looking at her and Mark Hughes.After all, my heart trembled slightly, and I didn't want to believe my guess...Obviously, I just met you not long ago, right?And before that, Xiao Chongxiao was still a child, Zhongli... how could Zhongli? !
Compared with the demon god he likes, he likes other people's sadness, and finally finds that he is actually angry at the moment.She never thought that this demon god who attracted her gradually during getting along would be this kind of person——
He actually fell in love with a child? !
After all, I can't believe it.
After all, I can't understand it.
After all, very angry.
Mark Hughes was also a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it: "Chongxiao, let's eat when we're done." He's going to make breakfast first.
I nodded: "Well, it will be ready soon." Then I made a cabinet for storing things, a table and chairs for receiving guests, and if Jiahe wants to come and sleep with me... I made her a little rocker. bed, she would like it intuitively.
Morax felt murderous, but...he looked at Ji Mo suspiciously, puzzled: Why is she looking at me like this?
Feel like you want to beat him up?
It's an illusion, after all, it's such a gentle ending.
So, Morax went to see the girl Demon God who was still concentrating on making furniture for her new home.Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her elongated eyes revealed a slightly dangerous atmosphere for no reason.The slender fingers point to the void, and the precise element manipulation is like an arm command... Also, the rock element is much easier to use than her previous one.
In the past, she had many wonderful ideas, but because of the incompatibility of elements, she always asked him to do them.
Now, it should be very happy to be able to do it yourself, right?
Morax thought, with a small smile on his face.
That's it.
