Bewitched: Age of Beasts

Chapter 60: Little Turkey's Wish

Little Vermilion is probably here. If I really leave, when Chaos finds Little Vermilion, he will be in danger.

"Boy, that's right. If you don't want the person you're looking for to be eaten by me, then obediently go ashore and follow me." Chaos thought he had caught me, and began to threaten me unscrupulously.I'm not a fool, how could I go up and look for it?

His target is me, and he can't do anything if I don't go ashore. As for the safety of little Vermilion, as long as Chaos is watching me here, he won't be able to meet little Vermilion.

Stretching his neck to look around, there was Chaos, and those male fishes that took human form ran away.When I couldn't find the Henggong fish, I suddenly thought of the purpose of Chaos.

"Hey! Didn't you want to catch the henggong fish and go back to detoxify your friend? If you spend it with me like this, if your friend dies after being unable to survive, then you will lose more than you gain."

When Chaos heard this, he immediately thought of the purpose of this visit. His huge body shook, and the 'big mountain' faded away and turned into that humanoid fat man again.

"Cunning Xuanwu, don't think that I will let you go. I want to catch the male fish, but you and I also want to catch it. I will find the person you are looking for and exchange him for you. Hmph !"

As Chaos said, he left from the shore and continued with his work. At the same time, he had another goal, which was to catch Little Vermilion.Of course, I can't let Zhu Hong be caught and search for Chaos in the opposite direction. Before Chaos finds little Zhu Hong, I must first find him and take him away safely.

He didn't seem to be worried about my escape, maybe it wasn't that important to him to take me to the Demon Realm, and the figure of Chaos gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Scarlet, little Vermilion..."

I shouted as I walked, and since I knew that the male fish was not in great danger, I boldly came to look for it.

I was swimming and walking in the water, and I met a lot of male fish along the way. Because they turned into their own bodies, those male fish were not afraid of me, and even a naughty one even jumped onto my body. Kezi was dragged by me to swim for a while before diving away.

But I don't know if little Zhuhong has come to this constant ice stone lake, I can only search endlessly.

Suddenly, a wave of water spread out in front of it, and seven or eight male fish in human form swam away as if fleeing for their lives. Could it be that Chaos was catching the male fish ahead?

No, the direction of Chaos is opposite to mine, that is, there are other people near Hengbingshi Lake.

I speeded up and swam against the current. Although the turtle was clumsy, its speed in the water was extremely fast. Swimming in the water was like flying for me, and I covered a distance of several thousand meters in a blink of an eye.

The shore of Hengbingshi Lake in the distance was bright red, and a childish voice came, "Don't run away, follow me back to see Daddy!"

"Little Vermilion!" I recognized his voice immediately, and even accelerated to his direction.

"Don't be afraid, don't run away!"

"Little Vermilion!"

Zhu Hong in the distance heard my voice, stretched her neck to look around, "Daddy? Is that you? Where are you?"

I was floating in the water, and of course he couldn't see my shadow under the dark night, so he leaped into the air, transformed into a human form in the void, immediately took out his broomstick and rode across him, "Little Vermilion, I'm here."

Controlling the broomstick to land beside Zhu Hong, he looked up at me as he landed, his expression of excitement and joy was clearly visible on his face, "Daddy, why are you here? You're not feeling well, Zhu Hong will help you catch the male fish back look……"

My face lengthened and sank.Although he was doing it for my own good, he was considered a 'filial piety', but the act of running out alone was too bold and messy.

"You ran out so quietly by yourself, do you know how many people are worried about you!"

No mercy, regardless of whether he is the high-ranking Vermilion, he should be blamed for doing wrong things at this moment.

"Daddy, daddy?"

"Come back with me!" Chaos is still nearby, while he is going to catch the male fish, I must take Zhu Hong away immediately.The owner of the Phoenix Palace ran away from home, this is no joke.

"No! I haven't caught the henggong yet, don't go! Don't go!" Little Zhuhong stepped back a few steps and said stubbornly.

"We have to go, Zhu Hong, you came here alone, isn't Hengbingshi Lake just to see the Henggong fish? Now that you have seen it, what are you doing here? It's not safe here, we'd better go home early good."

Zhu Hong stood in front of me, her mouth was aggrieved, she watched me getting more and more pitiful, the water droplets in her eyes glistened under the refraction of the moonlight, "But, but Daddy hasn't seen Henggong Yu with me yet... ..."

I froze for a moment and fell silent.

He... turned out to be thinking of me.

Alas—forget it, since he came out, let him fulfill his wish, and then go back with me contentedly, and stay in the Phoenix Palace honestly for the next month.

I looked back at the direction where Chaos left, and it seemed that we were still a long way away. I reached out and stroked Little Vermilion's hair, "After reading it, come home with me obediently, you know?"

"Daddy?!" Little Zhu Hong was both surprised and happy, grinning, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, he raised his hand to quickly wipe it away, and rushed towards me, stretched out his short, fleshy lotus root arms, and hugged mine legs. "Daddy is so nice."

"Hehe—" I knelt down and hugged him gently. This little thing is not afraid of the outside world, but he is good at thinking about my decisions.

"Let's go, now you and I have scared away the Henggong fish on the shore. I'll take you to Hengbingshi Lake to see it."

I let go of Little Vermilion and took a few steps back, standing in the water and turning into my original body, a huge black turtle about ten meters long appeared in Little Vermilion's sight, "Come on, get on my back, I'll drag you away .”

"it is good!"

Little Vermilion grabbed the protruding corners of my shell and climbed onto my back, found a flat place to sit down, and looked at my current appearance curiously.

I turned around and swam towards the middle of the lake, looking for the shadow of the henggong fish. As long as I was in the stone lake, I didn't have to be afraid even if I encountered chaos.

Swimming slowly, little Zhuhong crawled restlessly on my back.

"Daddy, you are so big, so strange, why can't I become like you?"

The sound sounded, I stretched my head to look behind me, a little red-haired bird was lying on my back flapping its wings, and the phoenix that didn't grow up was like a gorgeous turkey, 'pooh' I couldn't help laughing out loud, Softly comforting the child who was hit because he couldn't become like me, "Little Zhu Hong, what do you say? Although your body is different from mine, you will be very beautiful when you grow up."

Little 'Turkey' tilted his head and stared at me with red eyes in confusion, "Daddy, why do I look different from you? The book says that my son is like Lao Tzu, why why are we different!"

Because you are not my son at all.I swallowed my words, if I say it now, I'm sure little Vermilion will cause other troubles, so I can only make up nonsense to prevaricate.

"Uh...it's like this, although, you look different from me now, that——it's because you are still young and haven't grown up, and when you grow up, you will be like me." Sweating in my heart, My lie is really not technical at all, I hope it can scare children.

"Oh——" Little Zhuhong responded clearly, "Daddy, can I really turn into a big shell and four claws when I grow up? And can my pointed pecks disappear?"

Little Vermilion looked down at the appearance of his own little turkey with feathers, compared with me now.His extremely tangled expression shows the worry in his heart, the difference between his current appearance and mine is really too big!

I immediately nodded and lied, "Of course, I'll be fine when I grow up, I'll be fine when I grow up..."

"Well, Zhu Hong believes in Daddy!"

After finishing speaking, the little turkey turned into a pink doll, sitting upright, looking around for the shadow of the male fish.

"Daddy, go over there, there seems to be a male fish over there." He stretched out his small arm to command, I still believe in Little Vermilion's sensing ability, because I also feel that there is something over there.

I looked for the direction and swam towards the direction Zhu Hong was pointing at.

……

A few minutes later, a small island in Shihu Lake appeared in the line of sight of me and Xiao Zhuhong. From a distance, the island was completely white. Snow White in the lake said with a smile that it was an Iceland at a glance.

There are figures jumping in the lake next to the small island, and the figure in Hengbingshi Lake is naturally a henggong fish that turns into a human form at night.

"Daddy, there is really a male fish over there, let's take a closer look."

Little Zhuhong said excitedly, I nodded and swam towards Iceland.

My swimming and Little Vermilion's quietness didn't disturb the henggong fish, and our arrival was also ignored by the henggong fish school.

When I got closer, I saw the situation near the small island. There were not many cross males on the shore of Hengbingshi Lake. I only saw a dozen or twenty of them along the way. There are seventy or eighty figures on it!That is to say, this is a gathering place for henggong fish, and the seventy or eighty shadows are absolutely spectacular.

"A lot, a lot..." Little Vermilion opened her mouth in surprise, under the moonlight, under the reflection of the Icelandic light, each male fish had a jade-like complexion and radiated fluorescence, looking beautiful from a distance.

"Huh?" Little Zhu Hong's puzzled voice sounded, "Look, daddy, what are those two male fishes in Iceland doing when they are pressed together?"

I followed Little Vermilion's pointing and saw two figures intertwined, jade bodies protruding, kissing and stroking movements were obvious, I was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned my head back, "Don't look, it's not suitable for children..."

"Daddy, what is unsuitable for children?" Little Zhu Hong asked inquisitively like a curious baby, and when I turned around to swim back, he turned his head and continued to look.

I didn't answer, and casually changed the topic by talking about other things, "I'm gone, I saw it, it's time to go back."——
