Chapter 10 The tip of the iceberg

Black Deer was very kind to A Yao. He would do whatever A Yao told him to do, without saying anything or making mistakes. A Yao saw that Black Deer was well behaved, so he kept him by his side. But sometimes he was a little strange to her, because Rattlesnake had lived with her for many years, and she had raised Bai Chuan since he was a child, like her own son. Cats and bugs were also young, and A Yao naturally didn't take her seriously.

Black Deer was different from the two cubs she had raised by hand, in that he was an adult male, and she didn’t want to suffer the humiliation she had experienced before again.

She knew that the system had not been upgraded yet. She hadn't heard the sound of Silly Tongzi for several days and she missed the days when the system was available.

Seeing that the girl looked a little sad, the black deer dug out a gray rabbit corpse from the hole and handed it to her.

Ah Yao didn't look at the rabbit, but just said to him softly, "I'm not hungry, no need to bring food."

Black Deer didn't understand what she was thinking, and he also imitated her posture of sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the top of the cave for a long time.

He opened his lips slightly and said, "Why do you always maintain this action for a long time, and I feel like you are unhappy?"

Ah Yao blinked, looked at the man's angular profile, and said firmly: "You won't understand. I have a close friend who likes to talk to me, but I haven't heard his voice for a long time. I almost forgot what his voice sounds like. I feel a little uneasy."

Black Deer thought that Ayao's best friend was from a certain tribe, and whispered to comfort her: "When winter is over, you can have a good look at your best friend. He will definitely be very happy. It's great to have someone who always cares about you."

Two tears slid down the girl's fair face. This time, not a single tear was fake. A Yao cried. Sha Tongzi was just her system, not a living person. Even if she saw him, she could not feel the warmth of the system. She felt a little uncomfortable, as if her heart was smashed by a stone.

When the black deer heard A Yao sobbing, he realized that he had said something wrong again and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, A Yao, I thought your friend was still alive, please stop crying, okay? I will go out hunting soon and find some antelopes that you like to eat."

Ah Yao slapped his forehead as if in distress, then laughed out loud with sadness turning into joy.

"No, I won't eat."

The girl's expression was rare, and it was actually somewhat gentle. She taught the black deer like she was teaching a cub, saying, "Not all happiness can be replaced by food. Sometimes you should cherish those who are good to you, and don't be stingy with your feelings. This is what we should do."

Hei Lu nodded, not quite understanding, but she was surprised to see that the girl's gentleness was so touching, like a clear spring, clean and pure, and it melted the cold stone in his heart into spring water.
The scarlet eyes stared at the girl's bright eyes without blinking.

He knew that this female tiger named A Yao was full of secrets, but everything A Yao said made sense. If Hei Lu didn't ask, she wouldn't answer. He could only rely on spending a few days together and still not understand A Yao's ambiguity.

When the girl smiled, one could always see her small, sharp canine teeth with a hint of water in them, which looked very pretty.

Perhaps A Yao felt a little lonely without the system, so he started teaching Hei Lu again.

"I may have never been out of this mountain, but judging from the way you dress, you must be a powerful person. Although I can't teach you any skills, I see many truths more thoroughly than others. You have to learn more from me."

As soon as A Yao finished saying this, he wanted to punch himself immediately. The black deer in front of him was not a cub, so what could she teach him?
The black deer narrowed its scarlet eyes, its short white hair just serving as a foil to the dazzling ruby.

The man was like a clever rabbit pounding medicine, his thin lips slightly pursed.

"I've got it in mind. What Ayao said makes a lot of sense. I'll keep it in mind."

Occasionally, the two of them would hunt together, and the black deer would always stand behind A-Yao's shadow, secretly stretching out its big hand, wanting to taste a little bit of that small shadow. It snowed heavily again today, and A-Yao seemed to have gotten used to the cold, sitting on the snow and staring blankly at the black deer.

She said something without any reason, which frightened the black deer so much that he broke into a cold sweat.

"You look pretty, but I wonder if you have a dark heart as well?"

A Yao finally decided to leave and walked in front of the black deer with the snow leopard. Occasionally, when A Yao felt it was fun, he would stretch out his fist and hit the tree trunk hard. Countless snowflakes would fall and hit the black deer.

The noblest predator always appears as prey.

The two of them were bored in the mountains, and only when he occasionally took the little snow leopard to play snowball fights would A Yao's face show a genuine smile.

at night
[System: System upgrade completed, Sister Yao, I’m back~]

The girl's eyes, which should have been asleep, narrowed slightly. She said to the system, "Silly commander, it takes you a long time to upgrade. I've been waiting for so long that my food has gone cold."

[System: Sister Yao, if you believe me, real gold is not afraid of fire, and good things are not afraid of slowness, please look at me quickly.]

A Yao glanced at the system space without saying a word. She was a little surprised.

The system has grown from a little boy into a young man. Although Sha Tongzi still looks a little silly, his face can't be said to be handsome or charming, but at least he is a clean black-haired young man. He wears gold-rimmed glasses, and his black hair is long, but it is all tied behind his head with a red rope. He smiles like a vixen.

A Yao still likes Sha Tongzi’s outfit: a loose light-colored sweater, black trousers, and, oh, he also wears a pair of slippers.

"Sha Tongzi is pretty good. He's wearing gold-rimmed glasses and knows how to dress up."

[System: I guarantee that the functions after this upgrade will satisfy Sister Yao. Now we have hosting. I will handle fights in the future, so Sister Yao doesn’t need to bother her anymore. There are also new information search and world encyclopedia. Sister Yao is definitely the most informative person in this world.]

After hearing what Sha Tongzi said, A Yao asked another question: "Sha Tongzi, I will save hundreds of attribute points to upgrade you. Can I touch your furry head?"

【system:】

The silly Tongzi stretched out his bony hands and took off his glasses. He stopped smiling and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
She must have cried again.

[System: I’m sorry, Sister Yao, I’ve never seen a physical system, nor have I seen a host constantly upgrading the system. I’m sorry, I can’t find it.]

A Yao closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Only the system knew that she was not asleep. However, the system did not read her mind without A Yao's permission. The system respected her very much.

A Yao wants to create a god.
　Thank you for the reward, babies
