Chapter 123
Extra: Demon World Kindergarten 2
However, the consequence of Bai Bai forcefully enrolling his younger brother was that Shao Mian and a group of little fluffy creatures all stood in a row, looking at A-Ran meticulously caring for the little guy with identical, sour expressions.
The little black and white sesame ball was so cute and soft even when drinking milk, whining “Mm, mm” as he drank!
His fluffy little paws would also keep reaching for A-Ran’s wrist, trying to stand up and rub against his guardian, looking very much in need of care.
Little Feather stared disdainfully for a long time and even tried to imitate the “Mm, mm” sound, but he failed, making Snowball and the other fluffy creatures suspect that Little Feather had broken.
Lin Ran, hearing the noise and turning around, was amused by the row of fluffy creatures.
“Sesame is still so small, there’s no need to be jealous, right?”
He rubbed the soft little guy in his arms and couldn’t help but nuzzle him.
If it weren’t for “Demon World,” wouldn’t he need at least a master’s degree in biology or something to touch a baby panda?
And he was so cute!
He couldn’t help but want to take a photo and post it on the forum for everyone to see.
[Look, it’s the first baby in the kindergarten =w= So cute, right? [Photo]]
Since learning how to log into the forum, Lin Ran had also started posting, often receiving many cute and enthusiastic replies. As expected, as soon as he posted, the comments quickly piled up.
[Ahhh, the baby is so cute!? So he’s the first enrollee!? Choking up, okay, I’m happy for A-Ran, sob, sob]
[A-Ran, please post more photos! We want nine photos~ It’s been a long time since you posted nine photos!]
[That’s right, that’s right, the kind with A-Ran holding the baby! PS: It would be better if a certain golden fluffy creature didn’t take up half the photo ←.←]
The comments under A-Ran’s posts in the public section were all very cute, but the jealousy in the demon-specific section almost flooded even the abyss.
[Ahhh, why!? There’s such a way to enroll, now I’m looking at my younger brother playing beside me and really want to kick him to A-Ran’s side TwT]
[No, no, no, this is related to the rarity of the species. Pandas are also a vulnerable group in the Demon World, extra points for enrollment, understand?]
[Yes, like, I had “Demon World” evaluate me, and it said that the rarity of our species is only 5 points, out of 1000… completely unqualified for enrollment! But what did we hamsters do wrong!? (Holding head and breaking down)]
For a time, the demons in the entire Demon World almost wanted to drag out all their cute little cubs and sign them up for the kindergarten entrance exam.
Even the usually lonely Abyss at the edge of the Demon World was infected by this lively enrollment atmosphere.
Since being forcibly planted with a bunch of red New Year’s flowers by “Demon World” during the New Year, with the reason that it would look prettier if A-Ran came to visit, the originally barren Abyss had gradually become interested in gardening.
It gradually planted many beautiful flowers and plants on the originally desolate surface, a riot of color.
Although after waiting for a long time, A-Ran didn’t seem to have any intention of coming to play, which made Abyss a little disappointed.
Although there really wasn’t anything fun in this remote area of the Demon World, there might not even be a single visitor in a hundred years.
It was just silently blooming, then silently withering, and then silently planting a new batch of flowers.
But during this time, some unexpected demons appeared in the Abyss.
The Krama Clan was a minority demon race that lived in the nearby extreme climate zone year-round. Although they were weak, they had a natural talent for sensing magic power and could find many rare treasures in the Demon World.
This time, because of the reward offered by Shao Mian, this group of little demons hopped around on the surface, searching for the legendary Myriad Forms Grass that could reshape bodies.
They had already smelled its scent, but they still hadn’t found its specific location.
Abyss, who had been secretly observing for a long time, finally couldn’t help but poke a little Krama demon on the back with its demonic aura, trying to ask what they were looking for.
“Gurgle, gurgle?”
The little demons immediately hopped over, wanting to ask if Abyss had seen the Myriad Forms Grass they were looking for, because a little demon at A-Ran’s house was missing half of his body!
A-Ran?
After hearing the name A-Ran, Abyss slowly pondered for a while, then its black demonic aura turned into an arrow, pointing the way.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, a group of little Krama demons happily carried a super thick Myriad Forms Grass from the depths of the Abyss’ cliff~
They could finally send it to A-Ran’s kindergarten!
In fact, when Dark Cloud and Pear Blossom saw this incredibly thick Myriad Forms Grass, their eyes widened. Because usually, Myriad Forms Grass was only as thick as a wrist, but this one was as thick as a waist.
Everyone in the kindergarten curiously gathered around.
“Is this kind of grass real?”
Even Lin Ran, who had seen countless strange things in “Demon World,” was a little incredulous.
“Yes, but we still need to extract its essence. And to extract this kind of abyssal creation…”
Shao Mian was very satisfied with the quality of the Myriad Forms Grass found by the Krama Clan this time, so he directly doubled the magic stones and bonus as their reward.
“Ah~~ Abyss!”
And just as Shao Mian finished speaking, a familiar demon baby flew from the sky and pounced into A-Ran’s arms.
“Abyss?”
Lin Ran reached out in surprise and happily caught the warm little flame.
Strictly speaking, Abyss could no longer be called a little flame after meeting him again, but a real big flame! Burning fiercely in the air.
However, seeing A-Ran, Abyss instantly lowered his temperature, becoming just warm enough for A-Ran.
“Mew?”
Snowball, who was supposed to be Abyss’ nemesis, twitched his ears and keenly noticed that Abyss’ demonic aura was much stronger than when they first met.
If they fought again, he might not be able to easily freeze Abyss with ice like before!
“You’ve become a big ball of fire now, Abyss.”
Lin Ran held the little flame in his palm and exclaimed with a smile, and Abyss instantly puffed up his chest proudly.
He had been working very hard to become stronger these days.
However, before Lin Ran could continue speaking, Abyss, who had come with a mission, jumped onto the Myriad Forms Grass, and with an “Ah~,” his body expanded several times, enveloping the entire grass.
A few seconds later, something magical happened.
The huge Myriad Forms Grass rapidly shrunk in size, but its demonic aura density increased several times, turning into a chaotic mist.
“Put your paws in and guide this mist into your bodies.”
Shao Mian also rarely and patiently guided the Abyssal Two-Headed Dog to use this Myriad Forms essence.
“Chibi…?”
Pear Blossom and Dark Cloud carefully raised their paws, and the next second, they were enveloped by the chaotic mist.
A minute later, Lin Ran’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at the two lifelike fluffy little demons in front of him.
Dark Cloud was still completely black, and Pear Blossom still had a tuft of white fur under his chin, but they had become two separate fluffy creatures!
“You don’t have to argue anymore now, right?”
Lin Ran smiled and touched Pear Blossom, who was the first to rush over and cling to him, Pear Blossom’s personality was clingy and he always liked to be held.
Dark Cloud’s personality was more independent, and he would become shy and awkward every time he was forced to be close to him. Now that they were separated, Dark Cloud didn’t know whether he should also cling to A-Ran.
But just as Dark Cloud was hesitating, he was hugged by Lin Ran and kissed.
Dark Cloud: !
He blushed, but also felt glad that his fur was black, so no one would notice his shyness.
Abyss also breathed a sigh of relief and happily landed on A-Ran’s shoulder.
It was a good thing he had evolved, otherwise, if his temperature wasn’t high enough, he wouldn’t have been able to refine such a large Myriad Forms Grass.
“But we should thank Abyss, right?”
Lin Ran held the two fluffy creatures and, after asking Pear Blossom and Dark Cloud to thank Abyss with a smile, Abyss was stunned, being thanked by the two little cuties.
Because he had never been thanked when he was working for the big lion!
So it felt this good to help others?
Sigh, it was a pity that he was a flame, and flames couldn’t be hugged by A-Ran.
“Actually, if Abyssal Demonic Flames can evolve to a certain extent, it’s not impossible for them to take human form, perhaps Abyss will know some techniques.”
Shao Mian, looking at Abyss, had always known about his small regret.
However, the Abyss, located at the edge of the Demon World, had always been the most mysterious area, and even the data codes there were very complex, even “Demon World” itself hadn’t had time to deal with it.
Tao Shu had once tried to organize it, but in the end, he had to admit that the code for that part of the Abyss seemed to be incomplete, not yet fully developed.
So whether it was Abyss, the Abyssal Demonic Flame, or Pear Blossom and Dark Cloud, the Two-Headed Dog, they all had something unusual about them.
“Then can we take Abyss to see it sometime? I don’t think I’ve ever been to the Abyss, is it considered Abyss’ hometown?”
Lin Ran poked the dazed Abyss with his finger, and the little guy instantly jumped up and clung to him.
After dealing with several magic seal leaks, he could have a holiday and stay by A-Ran’s side, he was naturally very happy.
However, mentioning his hometown, the Abyss, even Abyss had to admit that it was barren and there was nothing fun there.
“Abyss~ Abyss!!”
But if A-Ran wanted to go to the Abyss to play, Abyss felt that he could dig out all the flame magic crystals and give them to A-Ran for safekeeping.
Including the private stash he had secretly hidden!
Thinking of this, Abyss instantly took out a high-quality flame magic crystal from his belly and held it up, giving it to A-Ran.
And A-Ran was about to open a kindergarten, there would definitely be many expenses, if he gave all the magic crystals in the Abyss to A-Ran, A-Ran wouldn’t be short of magic crystals~
Lin Ran, unexpectedly holding the ruby-like magic crystal in his hand, suddenly realized that the little demons at home all seemed to have deep pockets.
So he was the poorest one?
“So impressive, it turns out our Abyss is a hidden tycoon.”
Abyss was a little embarrassed being praised like this by A-Ran.
But Abyss hadn’t been happy for long when Sootball pouted and took out an even bigger purple Radiant Moon Crystal from somewhere and stuffed it into A-Ran’s hand.
No demon had ever dared to compete with the Luna Clan in terms of wealth.
“Cheep cheep cheep!”
All the Luna Clan’s magic crystals also belonged to A-Ran, he could also dig them up and bring them back for A-Ran!
Sootball’s love for A-Ran was the strongest!
“Uh… although I’m touched, Sootball, don’t do that, okay? Our family currently has sufficient funds.”
Lin Ran chuckled and stopped Sootball.
Although he knew that Sootball was eager to prove himself, if he really did that, Ms. Oni and the others would probably assume that he had gone bankrupt and was exploiting Sootball.
With the Luna Clan’s personality, they might really come over to “help with poverty alleviation.”
And a certain big lion, before the other little demons’ “competitive spirit” could erupt, squatted down in front of Sootball and Abyss with a sullen expression.
“Do you think I don’t exist?”
The big lion’s tail swayed back and forth, Shao Mian’s mood very complicated at this moment.
He felt that these fluffy little brats were all so confident, all thinking that they could afford to raise A-Ran.
Heh, he wasn’t dead yet, okay?
“Cheep cheep.”
“Abyss…”
The little demons, each holding a rare magic crystal, instantly fell silent and habitually hid behind A-Ran, so the big lion guardian couldn’t catch them!
“Yuanbao, stop causing trouble, the little guys are just playing.”
Shao Mian, this big fluffy creature joining in, finally made Lin Ran reach out and stop him, the situation was already chaotic enough.
But this made Shao Mian even more aggrieved, this was clearly favoritism! Couldn’t he also raise him?
“Mm~?”
Even Sesame crawled out of the bamboo basket, trying to cling to A-Ran.
[Ding——The first batch of cubs will soon be enrolled! Please be prepared to receive them, A-Ran~]
[Each cub will be allocated 1,000,000 gold coins in initial tuition fees by “Demon World,” and kindergarten grants will continue to be issued based on the cub’s growth level! Completing corresponding nurturing tasks will also trigger double rewards~]
Hmph, there was no need for them to raise A-Ran, “Demon World” could also raise him.
Just as the scene was about to descend into chaos, a small blue light ball spun in mid-air.
Facing the soon-to-be-enrolled cubs, all the little fluffy creatures became wary.
Just one black and white sesame ball whining “Mm, mm” had already completely captivated A-Ran’s attention, what if a whole group came!?
In fact, their worries were completely unnecessary.
Because it wasn’t surprising at all that A-Ran was completely surrounded by the new fluffy cubs!
And just as the “Demon World” notification sounded, Snowball skillfully brought A-Ran the live stream camera.
He had promised everyone that he would live stream on the first day of enrollment, and he had to make A-Ran look super good!
Wagging his long tail, Snowball was carried into the air by Little Feather, choosing the perfect camera angle.
And this much-anticipated enrollment ceremony live stream undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire Demon World. They couldn’t imagine what kind of lucky little ones would be the first batch to be enrolled and raised by A-Ran!
[Damn it, I want to see who was selected? Our 1300+ month old baby is so sad that he’s already crying (PS, it’s definitely not me)! Crying like a fountain]
[Lol, the screening this time is really strict, those who are over the age limit will really be kicked out, I was directly banned from signing up after trying to cheat for the third time… and was fined more than a million points QWQ It only costs 100,000 points to sign up once]
[There’s no need to be too disappointed if you didn’t get selected, it is said that all the major races are secretly competing, trying to get their cubs in, but “Demon World” seems to be truly randomly selecting this time, completely incorruptible!]
[I can testify to this, a certain race tried to privately offer tens of millions of points, but was rejected by “Demon World”! (PS, it definitely wasn’t our clan who did it) Sunglasses, tears]
The exploding barrage comments were full of various information, and everyone even discovered that “Demon World,” which was usually a super miser, was actually being fair and impartial this time, selecting the enrolled cubs without any external interference.
And when Lin Ran opened the door, he found four small bamboo baskets neatly placed outside!
“Why is this like delivering packages?”
He chuckled, squatted down, and just as he reached out to lift the small blanket on one of the baskets, all the curious fluffy creatures also gathered behind him.
After “Demon World’s” comprehensive evaluation, besides Sesame, this rare species enrolled cub, the other four cubs also had their own merits.
The first one was a familiar little guy. As soon as Lin Ran lifted the small blanket, he jumped out, shaking his head, it was the little sand fox with the big, chestnut-colored tail!
“It’s actually you, baby, we meet again.”
Lin Ran smiled and hugged the first fluffy creature, his arms filled with its soft and fluffy tail.
However, the barrage comments in the Demon World exploded.
[Shady! This is definitely shady, I can’t imagine how much money the Sand Fox Clan secretly bribed “Demon World,” this is definitely bribery!!]
[Protest! I suspect that “Demon World” is selecting cubs based on the fluffiness of their tails!? Is this really reasonable? Are cubs without fur not worthy!?]
[But how should I put it, don’t you think this one is really good-looking TwT And you could tell that he’s very smart from before, the talent to accurately attract A-Ran’s attention every time…]
While the entire Demon World was filled with jealousy, Lin Ran excitedly opened the next basket.
Because the ceremony was too elaborate, it didn’t feel like he was enrolling fluffy creatures, but more like “Demon World” was giving him cute little fluffy creatures.
In the second basket was a gray fluffy creature that was still sleeping.
“Shh… the baby is still sleeping.” Was it a duckling?
Lin Ran subconsciously told everyone to be quiet and reached out to gently part the fur, only to be told by “Demon World” that it was a baby swan.
If he could raise it, wouldn’t it become very elegant?
The large body of water beside the kindergarten would be perfect for this baby to swim in.
“Demon World” rarely said anything about Lin Ran’s expectation, after all, swans could theoretically also be very fierce and domineering.
And the most unexpected thing was that in the last basket, there was actually a small white tiger cub!
The little guy was incredibly handsome, squatting in the basket, twitching his little ears, and tilting his head to look at A-Ran.
He softly let out an “Awoo,” looking adorably fierce.
The scene instantly fell silent.
All the fluffy creatures present turned to look at A-Ran and found that his gaze towards this little tiger had changed.
A-Ran had seen countless fluffy creatures, and the number of fluffy creatures that could make him have such a look was very few.
Damn, dangerous!
An S-rank dangerous cutie had appeared!
