Saga held Yunchi's feet completely off the ground in his arms, rubbing the cub's ears and cheeks with his wet nose. Yunchi buried himself in the soft and thick fur, smiling with his eyes curved.
It's so soft, Saga thought in a trance. It's so soft and small, yet it has the heaviest weight it can bear. How could such a wonderful life be born in the world
"I miss you so much. Do you miss me?" Yun Chi asked sweetly. "I'm telling you, last night I saw a really big moon. Did you see it too?"
These two questions could have scared Saga to death. The sea otter responded with a soft "hmm" and nodded randomly, feeling his heart swell to the point of pain. He was so eager that Yun Chi had only said two words before his overgrown fangs began to move around in his mouth again.
Yun Chi was mumbling something in his ear again. He tried his best to listen, but he couldn't make it clear. He could only hold the cub tighter and tighter.
Yan Yan's body was stiff, and he stood there frozen. He followed behind Yun Chi, and only glanced at where the Lord of the Ice Sea was standing, and then hastily looked away.
How much time has passed
One thousand years, two thousand years, or ten thousand years, twenty thousand years
But no matter how time flows, how the years try to make the living beings abandon the past and move forward, Yan Yan still can't forget the scene of the year - the gods roared in despair at dusk, their tears were cold, their killing intent was cold, and the bodies of the fallen gods were also cold. The world was a mixture of black and red, with sporadic white mixed in.
The black is the sky and dark sea as thick as ink, the red is the gushing blood, and the occasional flash of white is the faces and limbs of gods floating up and down in the sea.
Even if one is so high and mighty in life, with the throne majestically placed in the clouds and the options to change one's fate at will, in the face of death, one is still so lowly, like a stray dog in the wilderness...
"... I bought a lot of things, including a comb for you, a big tapestry, a bottle of honey, a lot of malt liquor, and rice and noodles!" Yun Chi kept talking, and Saga stared at him infatuatedly, nodding repeatedly, "I left them all with Yan Yan, he's really capable!"
Hearing his own name, Yan Yan's shoulders trembled, instantly cutting off his chaotic thoughts about the past. He tensed his body instantly, and felt the Lord of the Ice Sea raise his emotionless eyes, lightly passing over him, passing over his brain, his heart and soul... everything about him.
"Hmm." The second generation main god said slowly.
The cold sweat had completely soaked Yan Yan's clothes, turning them into a sticky mud that flowed chillily down his spine.
Yun Chi smiled and pulled Sagamaomao's beard. "Because I bought too much, the rice merchant gave me a cart. Hurry up and take the things down. Shall we go back?"
Sakya agreed to everything he said: "Okay, let's go home."
Yun Chi loosened his hands and jumped out of Saga's arms. In Yan Yan's eyes, it was like the reins tying a monster had come loose. He tried his best to stop his trembling hands and took out the supplies that Yun Chi had bought one by one.
Round cakes, ale, grain, tapestries... all were placed on the ice, almost forming a small mountain.
