The glutton's drowsiness came all of a sudden, and it was really ill - timed.
It dropped a bombshell that made Zhaozhao's heart skip a beat and then was about to doze off. How could Zhaozhao let it sleep? She quickly grabbed its whiskers and shouted loudly in its ear, "Don't sleep, Glutton! You're not allowed to sleep! Explain it to me. What do you mean by saying that he always lies in a sick - bed?"
"Explain it to me clearly. I won't let you sleep. Do you hear me? Wake up quickly. Glutton, stop sleeping!" Zhaozhao's heart was in a turmoil because of the glutton. This guy was sleeping soundly and was about to start snoring.
Having no other choice, Zhaozhao turned around and went to the bathroom. She turned on the faucet, made an ice - blue ice pack, and stuck it on the glutton's paw pad which had no fur for protection.
This trick really worked. The glutton shivered from the cold. All its drowsiness was gone. It impatiently bounced out of the quilt and glared menacingly around. Now it was fully awake. It was about to flare up, but when its eyes met its master's worried face, it softened and said, "What are you doing? Staying up in the middle of the night and using ice on me?"
The glutton felt wronged.
However, if the glutton was wronged, Zhaozhao was even more so.
Zhaozhao was holding the ice cube in her hand. Her fingertips were frozen red, but she seemed not to feel it. She stubbornly stared at the glutton and said, "You just told me that Su Yuan is a delicate and sickly beauty. You also said that he always lies in a sick - bed. Explain it to me quickly. What on earth is going on? You went out to drink with your fourth brother tonight. What did you hear? Hurry up and tell me. I'm dying of anxiety!"
Hearing this, the glutton smacked itself on the mouth in annoyance. Why couldn't it keep its mouth shut? It had just blurted it out like that!
Seeing the glutton's reaction, Zhaozhao knew that something must have happened. She got anxious, and her voice was tinged with sobs. In her desperation, she accidentally grabbed the glutton's small ear and said, "Glutton, tell me the truth quickly!"
"AAAAAAH!" The glutton let out a series of screams. It stretched out its two paws to cover its small ears and kept backing away, "It hurts! You're murdering your spiritual pet. Let go of me first!"
Only then did Zhaozhao notice that she had grabbed its ear. She quickly let go but still blocked the glutton stubbornly and said, "I'm sorry for grabbing your ear, but you still have to tell me what's going on with Su Yuan lying in a sick - bed?"
The glutton rubbed its two sore ears and mumbled, "You heard it wrong. It's not a sick - bed. It's an ice - bed, an ice - bed!"
It thought that this explanation could ease Zhaozhao's suspicion, but little did it know that it made Zhaozhao even more worried.
Zhaozhao had seen Su Yuan's ice - bed before. She wasn't completely ignorant of it. Usually, only when Su Yuan was seriously injured would he need to use that ice - bed to heal his wounds, just like the previous time. But the last time they met, Su Yuan was clearly fine. What on earth had happened in such a short period of time that would make him lie on that ice - bed all the time?
Despite the glutton's repeated explanations, Zhaozhao didn't believe its current statement at all. It was obvious that it was just saying this to keep her from worrying.
"Glutton, just tell me what happened. If you don't tell me, I'll keep imagining things, and I'll be very worried."
Under Zhaozhao's repeated requests, the glutton finally couldn't hold back and told her everything it knew.
"You know, Lord Dragon Sovereign seems to have some kind of inner - demon sin or something. It seems to have relapsed recently, and the situation is much more serious than before. He seems to have lost consciousness and fallen into a coma. But don't worry too much. A bunch of highly - skilled demons from the Demon Administration Bureau have gone with him. Don't worry blindly. They will definitely take good care of him."
The last sentence was basically useless. How could Zhaozhao not worry? She had seen Su Yuan when his sin flared up, and she knew very well how painful it was for him.
The glutton went out to drink with Chu Ming tonight. Chu Ming was feeling depressed and accidentally let it slip. Chu Ming specifically told the glutton not to tell Zhaozhao about this to avoid making her worry, but in the end, the glutton messed it up.
"Where is he? I want to see him."
"Don't be so reckless. Lord Dragon Sovereign said that you're not allowed to go. He specifically told us this before he lost consciousness." The glutton scrambled over and blocked in front of Zhaozhao, afraid that Zhaozhao would rush out when it wasn't paying attention.
"I'm not being reckless. I just want to see him. Does he think he can just say no? He doesn't want me to worry, but now that I know, how can I rest assured if I don't see him with my own eyes?"
The glutton was at a loss. Its master was good in every way, but she was just too stubborn.
Unable to stop her, the glutton simply lay on the ground like a hooligan, rolling around and throwing a tantrum, "Even if you want to go, there's nothing you can do. Anyway, I only heard about this. I don't know where he is."
Zhaozhao nodded and didn't force the glutton to tell her Su Yuan's location. Thinking carefully, the glutton might really not know.
However, even if the glutton didn't know, Zhaozhao had a way to find out Su Yuan's location. She was now connected to Su Yuan's five senses. Moreover, there was still half of Su Yuan's heart in her chest. As long as Su Yuan didn't forcibly cut off their connection, it should be quite easy for her to find him now.
Thinking like this, Zhaozhao immediately concentrated her attention and focused all her feelings on the half - heart of Su Yuan in her chest, trying her best to detect Su Yuan's location.
As time passed by second by second, Zhaozhao followed that faint aura, crossing jungles and residential areas, and finally located a cave.
She withdrew her spiritual sense, got up and was about to leave. Seeing this, the glutton quickly rushed over and hugged Zhaozhao's legs.
"You can't go!"
"Glutton, don't make a fuss. Be obedient." Zhaozhao helplessly pried open the glutton's hands. She was extremely anxious now and didn't have time to discuss it with the glutton nicely.
Since it found out that Zhaozhao was the goddess from the Wuhuang Valley, the glutton inexplicably didn't want her to get involved in any human affairs, especially in places like the Demon Administration Bureau.
The glutton knew very well that Zhaozhao had secrets. It wouldn't try to find out what those secrets were. It just hoped that Zhaozhao could be safe and sound. Whether it was for the sake of the years of companionship in the Wuhuang Valley or from the perspective of her being its master now, it didn't want to see Zhaozhao get hurt in any way.
"If you leave, what about the affairs of the Zhuang family? What if there's suddenly news from the Zhuang family while you're gone?"
This reminded Zhaozhao. She turned her gaze back to the glutton and smiled slightly, "So I have to rely on you."
The glutton: "?" Why did it have a bad feeling?
"Glutton, you can't stop me. I must go this time. If you really want to help me, can you keep an eye on the Zhuang family's movements during this period? You know that these two things are equally important to me. Okay?"
Facing its master's request, the glutton naturally couldn't refuse. It twitched its ears. On the surface, it seemed a bit impatient, but in fact, it was full of worry inside, "Fine, fine. I can't persuade you. Go if you want."
After saying that, it turned around and lay in its small nest with its eyes closed.
Zhaozhao knew that it meant it had agreed. She squatted down, stroked the glutton's head, looked at it for two seconds, and then turned around and left.
As soon as the sound of the door closing came, the glutton opened its closed eyes. It had no sleepiness at all now. In order not to let Zhaozhao down, the glutton decided to go to the Zhuang family's place to sleep tonight.
However, just as it climbed out of its small nest and before it could jump out of the window, it heard Zhaozhao's phone ringing in the living room.
What a silly master. She even forgot to take her phone.
The glutton walked over to see who was calling. Only to see that the three big characters "Teacher Liu" were flashing on the phone screen.
The glutton carefully recalled who this person was. Oh, it remembered. This person was the silly master's teacher.
Thinking of the way the silly master always looked so gloomy every time she received a call from this Teacher Liu, the glutton showed mercy. It slapped the phone with its paw and hung up the call.
