CHAPTER 112 (1/2)
Open World 37
The burning flames separated all those who came in and it wasn’t easy to hear the crying over the flames.
It was fine now that all the flames were gone. Everyone was shocked once they heard the baby’s voice.
How could there be a child calling for his mother in such a dangerous place?
The baby stretched out his plump arms and called, “Mummy!”
The group of people turned their heads and stared at Xie Xi with shock. No wonder he was so beautiful. This rose fairy was originally a woman!
The lost Xie Xi couldn’t read their minds or else he would slash them with a knife and remove all their arms and legs!
What the hell was a rose fairy?! Who the hell was a woman? Did they have damn brain damage?
The baby called out ‘Mummy’ twice and Xie Xi didn’t respond. He stared at Xie Xi eyes as big as a grape and after a while, his mouth flattened and he started crying.
In an instant, the extinguished flames rose eight metres high and it was hotter than before.
Xie Xi’s hands moved in a disorderly manner. “W-What should I do?” He stared across at Jiang Xie.
Jiang Xie told him, “Don’t ignore him.”
How should Xie Xi deal with the baby? He had lived an extra 60 years but he had never taken care of children!
The baby was incredibly small but quite clever. He saw Xie Xi ignoring him and his crying increased. Even the path was being set on fire…
Xie Xi hurriedly said, “D-Don’t cry.” He had no experience and could only speak softly.
The baby stopped crying in an instant and blinked back his tears. “Mummy…”
Xie Xi, “…”
The baby’s mouth opened and it was about to set the fire again! Jiang Xie whispered, “Just say yes.”
Xie Xi turned towards him. “I’m not his mother!”
“Just coax him.”
Xie Xi couldn’t help saying, “I’m a man!”
“Of course,” Jiang Xie replied. “I know that better than anyone.”
Xie Xi, “…” He wanted to throw this big person into the fire!
“Fine, fine.” Xie Xi felt awkward. “Baby, don’t cry.”
The baby was obedient and stopped crying. He opened his mouth and called out, “Mummy…”
Xie Xi answered in a stiff voice, “Yes.”
The baby was happy and stretched out his arms towards Xie Xi’s neck, screaming, “Mummy, Mummy, Mummy…”
Xie Xi’s mouth twitched but he still didn’t dare to say no! He had heard of forcing an honest girl into prostitution but this was the first time he saw a man being forced to be a mother!
Everyone looked surprised and couldn’t figure out the situation.
Jiang Xie deliberately raised his voice and pretended to speak to the group of four, but he was actually speaking to anyone around them.
“I guess it is because we pushed the sun door open that the little guy recognizes us as his parents.”
Old Zhu still didn’t understand and asked, “Then why is Boss the mother? Is it because Boss is gentler and more beautiful?”
Xie Xi glared and Old Zhu felt a pain in his leg. The other three people respected him as a man!
Jiang Xie was afraid that the angry child would become a puffer fish and explained, “It is probably because he touched the door first.”
What this the case? Jiang Xie had the ability to state guesses as facts. “Isn’t the first person a child comes in contact with their mother?”
Ah yes, the story of a chick!
Xie Xi felt that Jiang Xie was fooling them but there was some logic to it. The guess was reasonable. Everyone was relieved and no longer questioned Xie Xi’s gender.
Jiang Xie leaned over and pretended to tease the baby, while whispering to Xie Xi, “Has the main task changed?”
It was clear that the little baby crying inside the sun door must be related to the sun. Appreciating the newborn sun must mean appreciating this little kid. Was the newborn sun this baby?
Xie Xi shook his head. “It isn’t finished.”
“It seems that you have to continue to coax him.”
If the newborn sun was this baby, the reason the task hadn’t finished was probably due to the word ‘appreciate.’
What did it mean to appreciate a little kid?
The little sun kissed Xie Xi’s cheek and cried out, “Mummy!”
Jiang Xie, “…” He was a father who hadn’t even kissed Xie Xi yet!
Xie Xi thought about it and kissed him on his tender little face. “Good boy.”
The little guy was full was joy. As soon as he got excited, he became hotter and Xie Xi almost couldn’t hold him.
Jiang Xie took the baby. “You agreed not to burn your mother.”
The little sun smiled and asked, “Doesn’t Mummy like me best?”
Jiang Xie replied, “Mummy’s favourite is Daddy.”
The little guy’s mouth flattened and he was going to howl… Xie Xi was afraid of the fire and hurriedly said, “I like you most.”
Jiang Xie, “…” Fortunately, they were both men and would never have children, or else he would be sour to death.
The little sun was happy and turned around in the air. His body emitted a golden glow that wasn’t hot at all. It was as warm as the midday sun in winter.
Xie Xi watched with the corners of his mouth slightly curved. The baby’s crying might be shocking but once he stopped crying, he was a little angel.
Then a prompt appeared in his lower right corner: [(1)Appreciate the newborn sun has been completed.]
Then came the next reminder. [(2) Kill the witch Xifu.]
Xie Xi shared it with Jiang Xie who said, “Just walk and we can leave this room.”
The previous Kong Rongliang also received this task and it was unknown where he had gone.
Xie Xi held the small sun and walked in front with Jiang Xie. There were no more flames after coaxing the little guy. Xie Xi had nothing to do except hold the fat doll which made his arms a painful.
Halfway there, Jiang Xie proposed, “Can you let Daddy hold you?”
The little sun was angry with him. “You want to steal my Mummy!”
Jiang Xie, “…”
Xie Xi said, “It’s fine, I’m not tired.”
The little sun immediately made a smug expression as he held Xie Xi’s neck and made faces at Jiang Xie. “Look, Mummy likes me the best!”
Jiang Xie wanted to hit this baby’s butt a few times. Xie Xi actually liked this little chubby but would’ve liked it more if he wasn’t called ‘Mummy.’
They left the sun room and outside was an empty hall. Both sides were crawling with vines and the ground was wet like a swamp.
Xie Xi stopped and looked up.
At this time, Cao Yan exclaimed, “The undead person!”
Many people had also seen it and showed envy in their eyes.
Cao Yan explained to Xie Xi, “Boss, the three people fighting over there are very strong. One is a zombie mutation and no matter how he is hit, he can come back to life. His strength is terrible!”
Zhuo Liu was solemn. “They were the first people to enter the maze and the first to refuse Zhang Ruizhen. They only entered the maze with three people and there were no movements after that. Zhang Ruizhen said they had long died but it seems that not only are they alive, they are also challenging the witch.”
Zhu Li also spoke seriously, “We saw their strength at the first corner. They are very strong! However, they are unsociable and kept aloof. I don’t know…”
The group of people madly introduced Xie Xi to the three people in front. Their attitude was so serious and dignified that it made Xie Xi feel embarrassed to say these people were old acquaintances…
Of the three people, one had his back to Xie Xi but Xie Xi knew the faces of the other two men.
They were the big idiot Kong Rongliang and the half zombie Chen Qing. Xie Xi hadn’t expected them to be so famous.
Cao Yan pondered on it. “I will negotiate to see if they want to cooperate with us.”
Xie Xi told him, “No need.”
Cao Yan tried to persuade him. “That undead man is extremely strong. He can grow out his arms and legs by himself.”
Xie Xi certainly knew this…
At this time, Kong Rongliang saw Xie Xi and shouted, “Benefactor! You’re here!”
