But even if Lin Shao arrived at Chōyou Mountain,
He didn't know what else he could do today.
He had arranged everything that could be used,
And Chōyou's house had been chosen very well,
There was no need to change it. The outside had been reinforced,
It was already very good to tidy up and perfect the inside.
When Lin Shao returned to the human world in the past few days, he didn't forget to search online for ways to keep warm and expel the cold,
He also ordered a lot of heat packs that could be close to the body,
Lin Shao had never used this thing before,
But Chōyou seemed to like it very much,
With this, he liked to run outside even more.
Even if Lin Shao came today, there was nothing else he could do,
He might as well let himself go and play with Chōyou by building snowmen.
As a southerner who had never built a snowman,
In fact, teaching Chōyou before was just an armchair strategist.
Lin Shao made a crooked version of himself next to Chōyou's snowman,
Chōyou looked and asked, "Who is this?"
Lin Shao pointed at himself. "It's me."
"... it doesn't look like you at all."
Lin Shao was very unconvinced and piled a Bai Ze next to him.
Chōyou looked and asked again, "Who is this? Is it you?"
"No." Lin Shao shook his head. "It's Bai Ze,
Does it look like him? "
Chōyou replied very seriously, "Do you have a grudge against Lord Baize?
You piled him so ugly. "
"..."
Lin Shao piled up little Taotie over there one after another. He piled up both the child form and the beast form, and he piled up??
Was he trying to leak out?
Although it didn't look like him at all,
They were all crooked like prehistoric monsters,
Compared to Chōyou's pile, it was even more of a disaster scene,
But the snowmen were all piled together, and it looked very lively from afar.
Chōyou watched from the side, giggling like an innocent child.
On the third last day of the quest, Lin Shao and Chōyou stayed together and played with snowmen for an entire day. However, there was still no progress in the quest.
But Lin Shao felt that Chōyou was even happier today than when she received warm clothes and blankets.
When the night fell on Chōyou Mountain, Lin Shao and Chōyou had dinner together. The small house was much warmer than when they first arrived. The simple fireplace brought warmth to the house, and the flickering firelight shone on Chōyou's face.
"Are you leaving?"
It lay on the bed and asked Lin Shao, its tail wagging in the air.
Lin Shao nodded. It was time for him to go home. Even if he wanted to stay, Chōyou's house was too small for him.
"Okay," Chōyou said. "When you go home … be careful."
It seemed that it was reluctant to leave, but it couldn't say anything. It couldn't find any reason to make him stay, so it could only crawl under the blanket and not look at Lin Shao.
He left like this every day. This time, Lin Shao stayed a little longer. When Chōyou fell asleep, he opened the door and went out.
The huge Chōyou Mountain looked very scary in the dark. The whistling wind blew large amounts of snow and ice, but there was no light at all. Chōyou's house was the only one on the whole mountain with a warm yellow light.
After he left, Chōyou was the only one left.
As the last Chōyou and the youngest one, Lin Shao didn't know how it survived until today. Even if it had nothing to do with the mission, Lin Shao was very willing to help Chōyou. However, he knew that although he would come back to see Chōyou after he agreed to the mission, it was far from what Chōyou needed.
Whether the mission was successful or not, Lin Shao would receive a new mission and have new things to do. It was possible for him to visit Chōyou once a day, but it was impossible for him to play with it for the whole day like today.
He was not an emissary who belonged to Zhangyou alone.
Today was a happy day, but Lin Shao was a little unhappy when he got home.
Bai Ze sat next to him and looked at him. "Are you still worried about the mission?"
"The mission is one thing. If it fails, then it fails. My punishment has a time limit. I just have to bear with it," Lin Shao sighed. "But what about Chōyou? To me, this mission is only 15 days, but it's a very long life."
This wasn't the first time Lin Shao worried so much. Bai Ze knew that he was such a person, but Bai Ze couldn't say too much about the mission.
So Lin Shao didn't sleep for a long time that night.
As he thought about the mission, he also thought about what he should do with Chōyou.
As he thought about it, he opened the system again and looked at the content of the mission.
It said that the winter in the far north was too cold, and Chōyou wouldn't be able to survive. Lin Shao thought it was easy to understand when he saw it, but now it seemed that the "cold" was really worth it. Was it just cold on the surface?
Lin Shao tossed and turned in bed, thinking about his worries. He felt that the mission wasn't as simple as he thought at the beginning.
It was the second last day of the mission. Today, Lin Shao unexpectedly didn't come to Chōyou Mountain.
Chōyou waited here for a whole day, but he didn't see him.
The snow from yesterday was still there, but after a night of snow, the faces of Lin Shao's crooked snowmen were no longer clear, and a few of them had collapsed.
Chōyou looked around and carefully repaired the collapsed snowmen. Then, he built a new one next to them. Not only did the body shape and the clothes on the outside look very realistic, but he also carefully carved the eyebrows and the smile on the corner of his mouth, making it easy for people to recognize that it was Lin Shao.
Even if Lin Shao didn't come, the things he left behind would be enough for Chōyou to live well. The fire in the simple fireplace was still burning, and the food that Lin Shao gave him was more delicious than the food that he had worked so hard to get. But Chōyou wasn't happy today.
He knew that the mission had a time limit, and he also guessed that the time limit was about to be up, and that the mission related to him hadn't been completed yet.
So … did he have to give up?
But didn't Lin Shao promise that he would accompany him no matter what the mission was?
Chōyou waited for a whole day, and when all his expectations turned into disappointment, he didn't feel sleepy at all even when he crawled into his warm bed. The more he thought about it with his eyes open, the sadder he felt.
If Zhangyou had never obtained anything, it would have been fine for him to live a lonely and unwelcomed life. After all, this was Zhangyou's fate as a Beast of Misfortune. But didn't Lin Tuo appear as an emissary?
Didn't they say that the new emissary was different?
Chōyou felt very wronged. He curled up on the bed and cried. He didn't know when he fell asleep.
But he didn't sleep well. The next morning, when the door opened and a cold wind blew in, Chōyou was startled and woke up. In a daze, he saw Lin Shao's appearance from outside. When he came to his senses, he sat up on the bed with a grunt.
"Are you awake?"
Lin Shao closed the door, leaned forward to look at him, and said with a smile, "I remember that you used to be awake at this time."
"You …" Chōyou looked at him blankly, wiped his eyes with his hand, and asked the question that he had been asking the whole day yesterday, "Why didn't you come yesterday?"
"I'm sorry," Lin Shao touched his head with an apologetic look in his eyes, "I left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to say hello to you. But today, I brought you a gift."
"What is it?"
Chōyou thought it was the warm clothes or other things from before, but this time, Lin Shao didn't bring them.
He opened his lapel, and a fluffy head popped out from inside. It rubbed against Lin Shao's arms a few times, then barked at Chōyou.
"It's a puppy," Lin Shao explained. "Yesterday, I spent the whole day looking for it in the human world. I even went to a faraway city in the north to pick it up. I was in a hurry, so I didn't come here. I'm sorry."
Because Lin Shao had searched for a lot of specific measures to keep warm on the Internet, the search software was now very smart. Recently, he had searched for something, and it would recommend something related to it on the homepage. These recommended articles were nothing special, but one of them was a picture of a sled dog and its owner being very close. Lin Shao noticed it and paid attention to it.
He remembered that he had experimented before. Animals that had not reached a certain level of intelligence could be transported through the System Space.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, not many creatures were willing to live in the Extreme North. After Chōyou came, the climate suddenly became cold, and the few creatures that originally lived here moved to a place further south.
The thing that tormented Chōyou more than the cold weather was actually the coldness in its heart, especially when it was the only one left in the entire clan.
Lin Shao had experienced the feeling of loneliness himself, and he knew that it was very uncomfortable. However, he could not force other creatures to be friends with Chōyou. After thinking about it, he picked up a puppy, thinking that at least it could accompany it.
Because of the situation in Chōyou's mountain, Lin Shao compared it to the human world and felt that sled dogs were suitable to live here. After comparing the breeds of sled dogs, he chose a Siberian sled dog, also known as a Husky.
Although the Husky had a reputation of being a Stupid Ha, it was true that this type of dog was relatively lively, easy to raise, and easy to get used to. It was cold resistant, and it was not aggressive. This puppy was born less than half a year ago, and it was very cute. Lin Shao liked it when he saw it.
He put the Stupid Ha on Chōyou's bed. Chōyou tried to reach out and touch its head.
The Stupid Ha responded with a "woof". Although it was still young, it was very noisy. After a while, it made a mess of Chōyou's bed. However, Chōyou was not angry. From time to time, he secretly touched its smooth fur.
Lin Shao then let Chōyou try to feed it. Lin Shao had already prepared the food for a young dog. Chōyou didn't find it troublesome. It didn't even bother to eat. It carefully tried to eat while smiling, as if it had forgotten all of yesterday's unhappiness.
Chōyou also helped Chōyou put on the clothes prepared for Husky. Husky went out to play in the snow and ran around everywhere. Chōyou also played like crazy.
But today, Chōyou, who had a new companion, didn't forget to make a snowman.
