Chapter 124
Extra: Demon World Kindergarten 3
“Ahem, why are you looking at me like that?”
However, Lin Ran, noticing the gazes of the fluffy creatures around him, coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty.
He wasn’t the type to be captivated by good-looking fluffy creatures!
He was always fair and impartial~
But under the silent gazes, A-Ran’s pale excuse clearly wasn’t convincing, because everyone remembered how his eyes had lit up just now!
Especially Snowball, who didn’t say anything, but directly took a screenshot of the image from the camera and handed it to A-Ran with his paw.
The A-Ran in the picture had his eyes slightly widened, staring at the fluffy creature in the basket, clearly captivated!
“Don’t take screenshots randomly! Snowball.”
Lin Ran blushed and took the screenshot from Snowball, refusing to admit it.
“Mew…”
Snowball chirped and was hugged by A-Ran, there was nothing he could do if A-Ran was being unreasonable.
[He’s dead, A-Ran is still trying to hide it, but I’ve already taken a screenshot!]
[That’s right——I also took a screenshot, he clearly had that heart-fluttering look]
[Forget it, let A-Ran like him if he wants to, raise him, take them all home! TwT Anyway, I can’t be raised by him]
And the countless demons in “Demon World,” while pointing out A-Ran’s exposed details, couldn’t help but feel that A-Ran’s shy and denying look was super cute!
[Ahem, am I the only one who thinks that someone else should be worried… after all, a rare species like the little tiger hasn’t appeared in “Demon World” for a long, long time, right?]
Of course, some demons quickly realized that “Demon World,” having spent so much effort to dig out this rare demon and send him to A-Ran, the one who should truly feel threatened was clearly a certain large golden tabby.
After all, a silver tabby was also very beautiful!
And a demon’s strength was somewhat related to their beast form. This kind of large beast cub, after growing up, would definitely be a very dangerous and powerful demon.
However, just as Lin Ran was about to lead the little guy into the kindergarten, Shao Mian reached out and easily grabbed the little tiger by the scruff of his neck.
“Awoo…”
The little guy frantically tried to reach for A-Ran with his paws, but he was caught by the big lion and held in his arms.
But Shao Mian’s arms were completely different from A-Ran’s.
“I’ll be his combat instructor.”
Shao Mian touched the fluffy creature in his arms with a “benevolent” expression, and the little guy looked up at Shao Mian with some effort.
“Are you sure, Yuanbao? Do you really have the patience to teach him seriously?”
Lin Ran also paused, surprised that Yuanbao had actually volunteered to help.
This guy didn’t usually have this attitude.
“Am I not suitable to teach him? You can’t find a more suitable instructor in the entire Demon World.”
And his tuition fees were quite expensive, he was practically giving it away for free, okay?
Shao Mian slightly raised an eyebrow, his aura indeed very powerful.
“Cheep…”
But the little demons looked at each other and felt that the big lion was clearly worried that A-Ran’s attention would be taken away!
Lin Ran looked at Shao Mian like this, and after more than ten seconds, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t scare the little guy, Yuanbao, you’re not even holding him correctly.”
After adjusting Shao Mian’s arms for a while, Lin Ran still wasn’t at ease and leaned down, looking closely at the little guy.
“Did he hurt you, baby?”
“Awoo~”
Being asked so gently by A-Ran, this little silver tabby cub twitched his ears aggrievedly and looked at A-Ran pitifully, as if he knew that only A-Ran could save him.
His handsome little face turning into that of a clingy creature made him even more adorable.
Even the little sand fox widened his eyes, squatting on the ground and trying to observe how he did it.
[It’s over, this looks like another scheming fluffy creature!! He’s clearly trying to attract A-Ran (Screaming while holding head)]
[But who understands [Side-eye laugh] someone is jealous, but I’m not saying who, haha]
Although the barrage comments in “Demon World” were half screams and half laughter, seeing Shao Mian’s frustrated expression.
Their own jealousy was sad, but seeing a certain evil, large golden tabby being jealous was very satisfying.
After all, ever since A-Ran publicly acknowledged their relationship, the entire Demon World’s hearts had shattered, and a certain big lion almost showed off in their faces.
He even changed his “Demon World” forum avatar to a photo of their rings, and “Demon World,” after enduring for a long time and wanting to reject it, was threatened into approving it.
This made countless demons, whenever they saw a pinned rule, couldn’t help but be force-fed dog food by the tester account’s dazzling ring avatar, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
And Lin Ran, whose mind was full of new fluffy creatures at this moment, seriously noticed that Shao Mian seemed to be a little upset.
This evil golden tabby just pursed his lips silently, motionlessly holding the cub tightly, his light golden eyes looking at his beloved with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.
As if asking, who would he like?
Looking at this scene, Shao Mian looked at “Little A-Ran,” as if he was naturally attracted to fluffy creatures like him since he was young.
Then if this little white tiger had met him first, wouldn’t he also be hugged and kissed!
Just thinking about this made Shao Mian’s hair stand on end, and his gaze towards the little guy in his arms became even more dangerous. He felt his paws itching.
If he couldn’t solve the problem, couldn’t he solve the fluffy creature causing the problem?
“But why are you jealous of a little baby? Yuanbao, how old is he, and how old are you?”
Lin Ran looked up at Shao Mian.
“So I’m old?”
Shao Mian wagged his tail, even more enraged.
Lin Ran wanted to laugh, but he seriously held back, the issue of age seemed to always be Yuanbao’s weakness, something he couldn’t even touch.
“Saying that I’m old, Yuanbao? You can’t find such a handsome fluffy creature in the entire Demon World, if you don’t believe me, lower your head.”
Holding Shao Mian’s hand, Lin Ran, his eyes smiling, signaled for a certain sulking golden tabby to lower his head.
[??? What, what, why did he suddenly ask him to lower his head!?]
[No, no, no, not allowed, A-Ran, don’t reward him!]
[This guy is deliberately acting jealous for this despicable purpose…]
Realizing a certain possibility, the barrage comments in “Demon World” instantly exploded, but Shao Mian, who was still sulking a second ago, immediately leaned over, wagging his tail.
As expected, he was given a rare, proactive kiss by Lin Ran, who stood on tiptoe.
But in front of the live stream camera, this was truly the first time!
Even Lin Ran blushed a little after the kiss.
“Ee——!!” “Mew?”
Even Snowball and Little Feather, who were in charge of the live stream, couldn’t help it now, if A-Ran wanted to give kisses, everyone should kiss together!
[Sob, sob, sob, help, don’t kiss him, A-Ran, you’re only allowed to kiss once a day! Unless you also kiss me!! Please, please]
[Strongly suggest that “Demon World” add a kissing card next time, can we!? I also want to kiss A-Ran TwT]
[Frantically liking +10000!!]
And the exploding number of barrage comments made Shao Mian wag his tail smugly and proudly.
“Only allowed to kiss once a day?”
He coldly read a barrage comment word by word, Shao Mian felt that this was simply outrageous!
“Heh, I usually kiss as many times as I want. Didn’t you see the ring on my finger?”
Shao Mian smiled and started showing off.
He wasn’t afraid of arguing with the demons in the barrage comments at all and even deliberately showed off the wedding ring on his finger from all angles.
The entire Demon World was silent for a few dozen seconds, imagining what it would be like if they could kiss A-Ran as many times as they wanted…
[I can’t even imagine how happy that would be!!]
[Coward, I dare to imagine!]
[But I feel like this is deceiving us! A-Ran wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!! A-Ran, quickly say something——]
Lin Ran covered his face, feeling that this was really childish. But if he exposed this guy’s lie in public, he would probably explode even more when they got home at night.
“Ahem, I think it’s better to talk about something serious, I’ve been thinking about this plan for a long time.”
So Lin Ran pressed Shao Mian down with one hand, pushed this domineering golden tabby, who was always stealing the spotlight, out of the frame, and turned the camera towards himself.
[Okay——] [A-Ran, quickly tell us, we’re super well-behaved~]
Once the camera was on A-Ran, everyone instantly became well-behaved, like fluffy creatures whose fur had been smoothed, silently squatting in front of the screen and waiting for A-Ran to speak.
Except for their fingers frantically taking screenshots, how did A-Ran become even more handsome!?
“Because ‘Demon World’ also told me that many oversized older friends also want to enroll this time, but due to limited capacity, they were all rejected by ‘Demon World.'”
However, when Lin Ran started talking about this serious matter, the “oversized” fluffy creatures in front of the screen instantly blushed.
[Holy crap, “Demon World,” how could you do this? Even tattling to A-Ran——!]
[Is it really necessary to report such embarrassing things to A-Ran… (Too ashamed to even stand)]
[Very well, so you’re saying that A-Ran also knows about me secretly applying three times?]
It was already embarrassing enough trying to sneak in, they never expected “Demon World” to tell A-Ran everything?
This level of social death made countless demons suddenly want to find a place to end their lives.
“So I was thinking, the kindergarten can regularly recruit volunteers. If you’re willing to help, you can just sign up normally, so both older friends and younger friends can come and play.”
“Of course, if you have relevant specialties and abilities and are patient with cubs, that would be even better. We welcome everyone over the age limit to sign up!”
Lin Ran seriously explained in front of the camera, and “Demon World” also timely released this server-wide S+ level quest.
[Rare Limited Quest: “A-Ran’s Kindergarten Volunteer”! ]
[Quest Content: Help A-Ran take care of cubs, and you will have the chance to come to A-Ran’s side and see all the super cute cubs in the live stream~ This interaction will reward a complete set of interaction cards, and there’s even a chance to trigger a hidden benefit: Grandma’s dinner.]
[We welcome all oversized demons to actively sign up, the first round of names will be announced in a month!]
The label “oversized demons” made countless demons blush.
Damn it, “Demon World” actually dared to mock them!
What was wrong with being old? If they were older and became bigger fluffy creatures, wouldn’t it be even more satisfying for A-Ran to pet them?
All the evil fluffy creatures in the Demon World immediately started to learn how to take care of cubs.
And during this month, the daily life of the kindergarten became a healing live stream that many demons loved to watch.
Whether it was A-Ran holding the little swan cub in his palm, watching as the little guy learned to fly under Anvers’ guidance; or the little tiger’s first successful hunt, happily carrying his prey back to A-Ran…
Every scene melted the hearts of the demons.
They wished they could reach through the screen, hug A-Ran and the fluffy creatures, and give them all a big kiss.
Although every time they frantically took screenshots, a certain large golden tabby would always silently squat not far away, secretly staring at the screen.
As if silently saying: I will always, always be watching you guys.
[That’s too bad, my screenshot was originally perfect, with A-Ran looking at me against the light, but it was ruined TwT]
[Okay, okay, this has practically become a watermark, right?!]
It felt like no matter what they were watching, a handful of cilantro was forcibly stuffed into it, making everyone dare to be angry but not dare to speak.
[It’s better to try and sign up successfully, so we can become volunteers and see A-Ran in person]
[Whispering: I’m sure seeing A-Ran in person is a million times better than seeing him in the live stream! Because I’ve seen him before! (Proudly raising head)]
However, when the first batch of demon volunteers arrived at the kindergarten a month later, even Lin Ran looked at the door in surprise.
Because this demon volunteer teacher was holding a transparent box, inside which were meticulously crafted plushies of A-Ran and the fluffy creatures around him, arranged into an adorable exhibition.
The human-form A-Ran was right in the center, his beady eyes looking at the camera, cute and adorable.
“Cheep!”
Sootball instantly widened his eyes, finding that the plushies in the front row seemed to be A-Ran and himself!
“Ee ee!” “Mew…”
The other little fluffy creatures also squeezed over, lying on the glass box, trying to find themselves beside A-Ran.
After finding themselves, they looked at the newly arrived demon teacher with awe, this was too amazing!
And this demon teacher didn’t seem very old.
“You’re Stone!”
Actually, Lin Ran recognized the demon’s identity with just one glance.
“Ye-yes, it’s me, A-Ran! Signed up, successfully.”
Actually, Stone himself hadn’t expected that “Demon World” would actually choose him, this ordinary demon, from so many powerful demon applicants.
He had obtained the first ever Demon World Kindergarten Volunteer Work Permit!
And Stone, stammering nervously, was hugged by A-Ran the next second.
This seemed like a true reunion.
Even Shao Mian, who was usually quick to get jealous, didn’t explode this time, looking at this scene with a smile, after all, this Lek Golem demon was truly an honest demon.
He seemed to have broken the Lek Golem Clan’s curse and grown up healthily.
Although such miracles were always happening around Lin Ran.
The flowers in the Demon World bloomed exceptionally well this spring.
On the back mountain of the kindergarten, the water of the Demon Energy River flowed slowly along the lush aquatic plants.
Whenever the wind gently blew, waves of green grass rippled across the mountain.
Lin Ran was lying on the grass, his head resting on Yuanbao’s golden fur, holding a picture book and reading to the little guys around him.
After all, Sesame and the other little guys who had just enrolled were still learning their cultural lessons.
“Cheep cheep?”
Although Sootball and the others could already read, they still liked to lie on A-Ran’s shoulder and listen to him read stories.
Occasionally, when A-Ran read too slowly, they would even anxiously chirp and ask, “What happens next?”
“Ee ee?”
Even Little Feather, who was usually restless, would always listen to the story very obediently every time, wanting to know the follow-up plot.
“Want to know what happens next?”
However, Lin Ran closed the picture book the next second and, smiling, hugged the soft little guys around him and kissed them.
“Of course, it’s everyone happily living together forever.”
“Mew~!” The little guys who weren’t hugged by A-Ran also chirped and clung to him, wanting hugs.
Lin Ran was instantly drowned in a sea of colorful fluffy creatures.
Even Ossi, who was listening to the story in his bucket, anxiously wagged his little fishtail and reached out for a hug.
And the storybook that had slipped onto the soft grass was finally flipped to the last page by the wind.
