Because of the big taotie's powerful words,
The whole scene was still quite awkward.
Taotie's voice sounded very vigorous,
And the little taotie's voice, which still carried a small milky voice, were very different.
Therefore, it was particularly clear. Basically, everyone present heard it clearly,
Including the little taotie standing in front of him.
His originally happy face suddenly changed.
Seeing that his own father couldn't recognize him,
The little taotie was very unwilling.
First, he sat down on the ground,
He used his small hands to wipe his tears, feeling like he was about to cry,
He looked sad and angry,
He raised his hand and picked up a few small branches next to him and threw them at his father.
But taotie's skin was so thick that it was useless to smash anything. In the end, he still stood up, turned around and ran towards Lin Shao with a wronged face. He threw himself into Lin Shao's arms, crying that his father was a big bad guy.
Lin Shao looked at him funny and distressed, but he still picked him up.
"Big bad guy!" The little taotie's small chubby face rubbed against Lin Shao's shoulder,
"I'll ignore him in the future!"
"Don't rush to be angry," Lin Shao comforted him, patting his back again and again.
"You're using your human form now,
Your father hasn't seen you like this before, right?
At first glance,
Maybe, uh, he didn't recognize you. "
The little taotie raised his head and looked at him. He sniffled and said timidly, "Is, is it like this?"
Lin Shao nodded.
He came out of Lin Shao's arms and turned into his original beast form. But because he had been wronged before, he rubbed against Lin Shao's side, refusing to go over no matter what.
Then, Lin Tuo saw that Taotie took a few steps forward, picked up the child, and put him in the grass nest on one side. He lowered his huge head and intimately rubbed against his son, which could be considered an apology.
"Still angry with me?"
The little taotie turned around and faced his father with his butt.
"I didn't lose you on purpose," Taotie's voice always had a bit of helplessness when facing the little Taotie. "Now that I've finally seen you, it's just that you didn't react for a moment just now. Do you have to treat me with this kind of attitude?"
"It's fine if you don't recognize me now, but what about before?
You deliberately kicked me down, humph! "The little taotie rolled around in the grass nest." I know you think I ate too much!
I know! "
"…"
Lin Shao watched this scene from the side. At this time, he didn't want to interrupt, so he just watched from the side.
However, his brain moved at this time, and he didn't forget what he came here to see. He thought that the thing that made the noise over there was another kind of creature that lived in Xun Mountain that Bai Ze mentioned, so he came over to take a look.
Lin Shao had never thought of Bai Ze's reminder to Taotie. It wasn't because he didn't think of it, but because Lin Shao remembered that when he first met the little taotie, he asked the little taotie where he originally lived, but the little taotie couldn't say. He only said that he lived everywhere. Later, he saw that the system's introduction to Taotie had the four words "without a fixed residence". Moreover, when Lin Shao told the little taotie that this task was about the sheep living in Xun Mountain and so on, the little taotie also didn't express any opinion.
Therefore, at that time, he didn't think that Xun Mountain's doubts were related to Taotie. He only thought that Xun Mountain was one of their many food sources. In any case, Taotie would run wherever he went, and he would change places after a shot. Now it seemed that because of his clear memory in this regard, he had a fixed mindset.
If it was a place that Taotie often came to, then it was understandable that other races didn't dare to compete for such a good place.
Taotie was an ancient vicious beast. Even if their numbers were small, their strength couldn't be underestimated.
However, from the little taotie's character, he didn't care about anything other than eating. That was to say, he had a big heart.
For creatures like the sheep, every time he mentioned it, he would use the adjective "pitiful". In any case, this kind of creature wouldn't compete with Taotie for food, and its population was very small. Living in Xun Mountain was like nothing to Taotie. In other words, the sheep could live here because it was born with characteristics that were contrary to Taotie's eating habits.
The more Lin Shao thought about it, the more he felt that it was reasonable to think from this point of view.
At this time, the big taotie and the little taotie were done playing. The little taotie seemed to have reluctantly recognized his own father. They were rubbing each other's cheeks and playing. In the blink of an eye, he saw Lin Shao pondering on the side and remembered his original task of coming to Xun Mountain.
"That's right, that's right!"
He stood up from the haystack and turned back into a human child. He ran past Lin Shao and pulled his sleeve, bringing him in front of his father. "This is the person who has been taking care of me all this time. He has been giving me super delicious things that I like!
His name is Lin Shao. He is the new messenger. "
"The new … messenger?"
The adult beast form Taotie turned his head to look at Lin Shao. Lin Shao was facing his bell-sized eyes. Taotie's fangs were exposed. Even if he was prepared, his face, which was not acceptable to ordinary people, was still frightening.
Lin Shao was nervous. At this time, Bai Ze came out of the system and blocked in front of him.
As soon as he came out, Taotie stopped looking at the canopy and turned to stare at Bai Ze. He opened his mouth and said a few words, which could be considered a friendly greeting, "Bai Ze, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Bai Ze in human form was not as large as Taotie, but he stood in front of Lin Shao. His aura did not weaken at all. "You haven't changed at all."
"Mm." Taotie exhaled through his nose. He looked at his son, who was holding Lin Shao's hand, and asked Bai Ze, "When did you come back to the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
"Not long ago. About two months ago," Bai Zedao said. "It was a coincidence. Not long after I came back, I met your son at Mount Zhaoyao."
"Oh, did he give you any trouble during this time?"
This "he" was naturally referring to the little Taotie.
Bai Ze replied, "You shouldn't ask me this. Ask Lin Shao behind me. He has been taking care of the little Taotie all this time."
Taotie turned to look at Lin Shao.
"Ah, I don't think it's troublesome." Lin Shao was suddenly asked, but he still reacted and quickly replied, "The little Taotie is quite cute."
"Is that so?
Isn't he naughty and eats a lot? "
Is it really okay for you to talk about your son like this …
"… I think it's okay." Lin Shaodao said, "He's a child. It's understandable that he's a little naughty. Besides, eating a lot is good. As long as the little Taotie has something good to eat, he quickly becomes very obedient. Also, he has helped me a lot."
He wasn't being polite. He was telling the truth. Although the little Taotie was naughty, he was still quite easy to coax. In some cases, he could even be called a little angel.
When Taotie heard this, Lin Shao looked at his expression and smiled. Then he turned to Bai Ze and said something.
"You left the Mountain and Sea Realm for so long. Did you only bring him with you?"
Bai Ze's smile didn't change. He replied, "The Mountain and Sea Realm needs an emissary. That's the Heavenly Dao's request. I think Lin Shao is very suitable."
The Taotie didn't comment. He picked up the little Taotie beside Lin Shao and said to Lin Shao, "It doesn't matter if you're an emissary or not. The identity of an emissary isn't important to me.
However, I'm still very grateful to you for taking care of the little Taotie. I know my son's personality. He's hard to deal with and hard to please. Now that he's introducing you to me with such an attitude, it shows that you're getting along well. We Taoties are reasonable people, and we clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges. I owe you for taking care of my son. In the future, if you have any problems that you can't solve, you can come to me. "
"Oh?"
Lin Shao hurriedly waved his hand. "Actually, with Bai Ze around, I don't have anything important that I need your help with. However, I have a few questions that I can ask you.
It's about Xun Mountain. "
"Go ahead and ask."
Lin Shao asked him about the Afflicted Sheep. The Taotie's father didn't have the little Taotie. Because the little Taotie was young, he didn't understand much. He earnestly answered Lin Shao's questions one by one, and most of his answers confirmed Lin Shao's previous conjectures.
"It's not wrong to say that the Taotie doesn't have a fixed residence. However, we do have a few fixed places where we store food. Xun Mountain is one of them.
As for the Afflicted Sheep, they can't eat anything, and their meat isn't delicious. So, it doesn't matter where we live. "
"Do you know anything about the Afflicted Sheep?"
The Taotie's reply was quick and direct. "Not at all."
Lin Shao thought about it along this line of thought, but he couldn't figure out what this had to do with the keyword "boring" in the task.
Although the Afflicted Sheep were sheltered by Taotie and lived here, Lin Shao felt that the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages. It was a blessing in disguise. The Afflicted Sheep of Xun Mountain would not cause any trouble to Taotie, and in the same way, Taotie would not cause any trouble to the Afflicted Sheep. Last time, the little Taotie greeted a few Afflicted Sheep, and it felt okay.
Thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out. Before, he had said that he would meet the Afflicted Sheep today. After tossing and turning here for a while, Lin Shao said goodbye to Taotie and followed the little Taotie's directions to the Afflicted Sheep's residence.
As for the little Taotie, it was not easy to not see his father for nearly two months. At this time, he naturally stayed here.
Before Lin Shao left, Taotie said something to him.
"I will stay in Xun Mountain for a while. I'm afraid we will see each other often in the next few days."
Lin Shao listened and felt that Taotie's words were also directed at Bai Ze next to him.
"See you later ~" The little Taotie waved at Lin Shao. "I'll play with dad for a while and then go back to find you!
You promised to bring me dates and chestnut cakes in the afternoon. Don't forget it just because I'm not around! "
Lin Shao was helpless. "… I won't forget."
