When they exited the mountain, nothing seemed to have happened. Everything was the same as before.
When they returned to the base, Black Steel took Captain Wood to an airship.
The mark on the foreheads of the creatures in the base was gone.
Han Sen asked Little Angel and Zero, and he learned that not long after he left, all the creatures in the base had been infected. Only Little Angel and Zero were unaffected.
The incident was over, and the base was back to normal.
But after what had happened, the base had been damaged. There were only a dozen Barons and one Viscount left. There was a shortage of manpower.
Han Sen was not in the mood to recruit, though. He was still researching how to eat the baby Sun Raven.
No matter how hard he tried to cook it, the meat was as hard as steel. It was impossible to eat.
Han Sen tried to bring the body of the baby Sun Raven back to the sanctuary. Nothing happened, but it was still inedible. He had to put it away.
"Today is Bao'er's first day at kindergarten. You have to send her off," Ji Yanran said to Han Sen.
"Okay. My little cutie is going to kindergarten." Han Sen picked up Bao'er.
Bao'er had grown up a lot, and she was growing up like a normal child. She looked like she was two or three years old.
"Dad, Bao'er wants to be with Dad. I don't want to go to kindergarten." Bao'er looked troubled.
"It's too hard to be with Dad. The environment there isn't good. When it gets better, Dad will take you there. You should go to kindergarten first." Han Sen tried to convince Bao'er to go to kindergarten first.
To bring Bao'er closer to home, they moved to a place near the kindergarten. After Old Cat took Littleflower away, Ji Yanran gave Bao'er all her motherly love.
After finishing the procedures, they left Bao'er in the kindergarten. Han Sen and Ji Yanran did not go home immediately. They walked around the neighborhood.
"Han Sen, I miss Littleflower," Ji Yanran said sadly.
"Me too. It's all that despicable Tomcat's fault.
But don't worry. Littleflower is fine over there. He's eating pretty well. Didn't Old Cat send a few recordings back? "Han Sen quickly comforted her.
Every now and then, there would be a video of Littleflower in the house. It must have been sent by Old Cat, but Old Cat had never appeared.
"Although I know that Littleflower is fine, I feel like something is missing when Littleflower is not by my side." Ji Yanran was still not happy.
"Don't worry. I'll find Littleflower. I'll also skin that * sshole Old Cat alive," Han Sen said through gritted teeth.
Han Sen changed his tone and said, "How about this? Let's have another Littleflower. That way, when Littleflower comes back, he'll have a little sister or brother. That way, he won't be so lonely. Why don't we have a few more? The more the merrier."
"I don't want to have that many. Do you think I'm a sow?" Ji Yanran said angrily.
"How can there be such a pretty sow?" Han Sen laughed and hugged Ji Yanran.
"What are you doing? We're outside. There are so many people!" Ji Yanran's face turned red.
"You're my wife. What's wrong with me hugging you? Why should I care about them?"
In the kindergarten, Bao'er was sitting on a small stool. She was holding her chin with her small hand, looking listless.
"Bao'er, why aren't you playing games with your classmates?
Are you not feeling well? "A female teacher squatted down and touched Bao'er's forehead.
"I don't like those games. They're childish and boring," Bao'er said as she blinked her eyes.
"Then, I'll teach you how to sing, okay?" the female teacher asked.
"What song?" Bao'er looked at the female teacher and asked.
The female teacher clapped her hands and did a cute action. "Then, I'll sing a line. You sing a line … I found a penny on the side of the road …"
"Teacher, how old are you?" Bao'er looked at the female teacher and asked.
"Twenty-four. Why?" The female teacher looked at Bao'er strangely. She didn't know why she was asking this.
"You're so old, yet you're still acting cute and singing childish songs. It must be hard on you." Bao'er sighed.
The corner of the female teacher's mouth twitched. She resisted the urge to bang her head against the wall. "Teacher … teacher is still very young … ha … haha …"
"Twenty-four is already very old. Usually, women your age will report one or two years less. So, you should be twenty-five now. Rounding it up, you're an old leftover woman in her thirties.
You don't look like you have a boyfriend. How pitiful. You're so old, yet you don't even have a boyfriend. You have to act cute in the kindergarten all day. After work, you must be drinking to drown your sorrows. At most, you'll buy and buy to vent your depression. "
Bao'er sized up the female teacher. "Your salary isn't high. Even if you buy and buy, you can only buy imitation products to satisfy your cravings.
If you go to a branded store, you can only buy the cheapest little thing. Then, you'll ask for a big branded gift box. You'll carry the gift box and walk on the street to make your presence known … "
"This damn child …" The female teacher's face darkened. The corner of her mouth and eyes kept twitching, but she forced a smile. "Teacher … isn't … like … that … ha … haha …"
What made the female teacher want to vomit blood the most was that Bao'er was right. She couldn't help but feel inexplicably sad.
"Teacher, looking at you, you must be very good at gambling, right?" Bao'er said again.
"No … no … gambling is wrong … how can a teacher gamble … ha … haha …" The female teacher's face kept twitching. Her smile was very scary.
"With your appearance, you look good on the outside. But at home, you definitely smoke and drink all the time. You especially like to play mahjong. Also, you're very sloppy. Your clothes are messy everywhere. The bowls have been left there for a few days and you haven't washed them …" Bao'er said one sentence after another.
"This damn child … damn child …" The female teacher felt like she was going crazy. If this continued, she would be angered to death.
Bao'er's eyes flashed. Before the female teacher was about to go berserk, she opened her small bag and took out an exquisite little box.
"Teacher, do you know what this is?" Bao'er shook the little box and smiled.
"This … this … could it be … the legendary Planet Boros's new limited edition ZGTE209 lip gloss this year … how could you have it … is this real?" The female teacher widened her eyes and looked at the little box in Bao'er's hand in disbelief.
"Teacher, although you can't afford it, you can definitely tell if it's real or fake, right?" Bao'er threw the little box to the female teacher.
The female teacher suddenly caught it in shock. Her careful look was like she was catching an antique worth millions.
"It's real … it's real …" The female teacher opened the little box and looked carefully. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Teacher, let's bet on big or small, okay?
If you lose, you give me ten yuan. If I lose, I'll give you a lip gloss. How about that? "Bao'er took out a dice and said to the female teacher with a smile.
"That's not good …" The female teacher's heart was fiercely struggling.
"If that's the case, then there's no other way. I originally didn't like this lip gloss. Keeping it would just take up space. I thought it would be fine if I lost, but now I can only keep it." Bao'er sighed and was about to put the lip gloss back into her small bag.
"Wait …" The female teacher picked up Bao'er and quickly went to an empty utility room. After looking around like a thief, she carefully closed the door.
An hour later, a cry came from the utility room. "Bao'er … leave me ten yuan … just ten yuan … just enough for a box of food … I'm counting on it for the next half a month …"
