Chapter 105: Didn’t he feed you?
The more nonchalant a person appears to be, the more cunning he is.
Lan Cang felt that the Sea King had a lot of hidden thoughts, and he didn't want to work with him any longer, so he bowed and said, "If His Majesty the Sea King is fine, I will go first and won't entertain you any more."
"Wait a moment." Lou Xianyue threw him a space ring. "There are some good things in it, including marrow cleansing fluid, which can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones. It should be a good help in improving your talent."
Lou Xianyue looked down on Lan Cang's talent, but this man was frank, loyal to Sang'er, and the best husband. After this contact, Lou Xianyue reluctantly accepted him in her heart.
Since they are all Sang'er's beastly husbands, their strength is her asset.
"Being a true king is considered outstanding among the masses, but your journey does not end here."
Lan Cang was shocked and bowed, "Thank you!"
His salute this time was much more solemn and sincere.
"No need to thank me. I did this for Sang'er. While she stays with you, I hope you can take good care of her and protect her." Lou Xianyue rubbed the jade ring on his finger. It was time for him to go. "I'll come and pick her up after a while."
It's time for him to retreat for a while again.
I must not go back on my promise to her.
……
backyard.
Sang Luo was playing the flying saucer throwing game with his three children to burn off their excess energy.
Seeing Lan Cang coming back from outside, without Lou Xianyue following him, I thought he had left.
"Cang Cang~"
Sang Luo called out in a soft voice, but saw that her big wolf dog was in a bad mood. He looked at her with a lonely and sad look, but said nothing. He took the three children away and went back to the house.
Sang Luo widened his eyes.
Could it be that Lou Xianyue said something to him secretly to sow discord?
"Why do you look so unhappy?" Sang Luo stood up and took two quick steps to hold his hand.
She likes to speak out things openly, instead of keeping them in her heart. Otherwise, if she drags it on, small things will easily turn into big things, which will unnecessarily torture the relationship between both parties.
Lan Cang looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled, and asked in a low voice, "Luoluo, are your beast father and mother still alive?"
"Of course they are still here! They are alive and well!"
Lan Cang became even more depressed. He had always thought that she was an orphan abandoned by the tribe, or that her parents had passed away. That was why he had never asked about her family, for fear of reminding her of the sadness in her heart. He did not expect that this was not the case.
She took Lou Xianyue to meet her parents, but never took him.
"I... I also want to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Lan Cang hugged the three children tightly and said in a low voice with his head down, "No matter what, Xiao Shitou, Zhui Zhui and Zhi Xin must return to their ancestral home and enter the family tree. Even if I am not that important, these three children are your biological blood, and they must go back to see their grandparents."
"..." Sang Luo finally realized why he was angry.
She also retained the customs of the Earth and thought about bringing her partner home to meet her parents, but after all, they were not from the same world and she could not bring them back for the time being. Sang Luo had never mentioned the existence of her parents to her beastly husbands. They probably had already created a suitable identity for her in their minds, so she never had to explain her life experience.
The only time his parents appeared was in the illusion at the Insect King’s Palace. Lou Xianyue was half present at that time and must have known about it.
He told Lan Cang about this!
Sang Luo was upset and didn't know how to explain, so he just said, "When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take you back to meet my parents!"
“……” He sounded even more lonely, as if he was just being perfunctory.
"Believe me, I am not taking you back now because I can't go back for the time being. Don't ask me the reason, but I promise that as long as I have the chance to go back to see you two elders in the future, I will take you back!" Sang Luo said speechlessly, "Don't listen to that old fish's nonsense, he has never seen my parents at all, it was a few days ago when I encountered an illusion in the Zerg, and I saw my parents in the illusion, and he happened to see this scene." Lan Cang suddenly realized. No wonder he always felt that Lou Xianyue's tone was a bit strange, as if he wanted to hint at something from him?
Thinking about it carefully, Lou Xianyue did not say it in person. He had met Sang Luo's parents in person. He only used a few simple words to deliberately lead him to think in this direction.
He almost found his way!
"I'm sorry, Luoluo, so that's how it is. I thought you didn't care about me that much, so you didn't want to take me to meet your parents. I felt very upset for a while, and felt that I was ignored and left out..."
"Hmm~ You're not angry now, are you?" Sang Luo hugged his strong waist, raised her head, and pouted her rosy lips, "Cang Cang~ I'm hungry~"
Lan Cang's eyes darkened, "Didn't he feed you enough?"
"..."
Sang Luo punched him on the chest angrily, her face flushed with embarrassment, "I just said I was hungry!"
Lan Cang hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
Sang Luo followed him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I haven't eaten yet." He was so worried these days that he couldn't eat. "I'll cook a few more meat dishes for this meal. They're all your favorites."
"Yeah~ Cang Cang is the best~ He is omnipotent and understands me~"
Lan Cang turned his back to her, his tail almost raised, and all the depression he felt after today's blow was swept away.
After dinner, Lan Cang sat cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, holding the three little kids in his arms.
The third kid, who is usually cheerful and lively, was unusually quiet and motionless tonight.
No, they were not well-behaved. Their eyes were dazed and they were almost asleep.
Just as Zhi Xin closed his eyes, Lan Cang forced him to wake up.
Sang Luo could actually see an expression of despair on the little wolf's face. She burst out laughing and when she got closer she saw that Lan Cang was holding a few books in his hands, which were science textbooks for cubs to learn pinyin and literacy.
"Didn't you say it's too early to teach them to read and speak?"
"It's not early. Some time ago, a beastman under my command had a litter of wolf cubs born two days later than you. Those cubs have already started to learn to read!" Lan Cang said, "There are also cubs who are only a month older than them. Their fathers have taken them out to learn hunting. It doesn't make sense that my third cub can't learn as fast as the other cubs. Then I am too incompetent as a father!"
"...I'm handing the child over to you. You take care of him."
Sang Luo had no experience in raising orc cubs, so Lan Cang was fully responsible for the growth and education of the three children.
It's a bit scary that a baby can read and write at just one month old, and still not weaned. But her three children are all quite precocious, so it shouldn't be too harsh. Lan Cang, as a father, must know his limits.
"Well, we can't let the child fall behind at the starting line!" Lan Cang nodded, "We can't spoil the child too much. A wolf born on the ice field can't be raised into a delicate flower in a greenhouse."
"..."
It seems that Juanwa is not only a human, but also an orc!
Sang Luo didn't get enough rest this morning and felt sleepy after dinner. It was almost time to go to bed, so she yawned, said something to Lan Cang, and went back to her room to rest.
Before falling asleep, Sang Luo reminded Lan Cang to remember to wake her up on time in the early morning.
Lan Cang remembered something and nodded with a smile.
