Chapter 572 - 368: Go to Work, Undead Old Deng_2
Seeing Old Deng playing with the children, Xue Dili could only silently sip his tea, silently mocking in his heart.
At this moment, when Aunt saw Xue Dili return, she gave him a knowing glance and went back to the bedroom. Fafnir wasn’t home for some reason, leaving just Xue Dili to chat with them.
"Are those two kids really your daughters?" Alola asked.
"Sort of. Xue Linglong is a fragment of another World Consciousness, infused with a bit of my blood, which made her this way." Xue Dili didn’t hide anything.
"As for Xue Lingshu, she’s my creation, a fusion of a Bacteriophage and a Divine Tree, and an accidental merging of a bit of my spirit in a world. She’s almost like a daughter to me." Xue Dili calmly revealed the children’s identities.
There was nothing unspeakable about it. In fact, Xue Dili felt quite at ease around the Female Pope. If it weren’t for Old Barak constantly nagging in his ear, Xue Dili might have become good friends with the Female Pope.
It’s just that once Old Deng opens his mouth, both of them can’t hold it, so it’s better to keep him quiet.
Maybe it was an illusion, but Xue Dili always felt the Female Pope’s gaze towards his two daughters carried a thread-like...
Motherly love?
Perhaps it’s just an illusion. Xue Dili took another sip of tea: "By the way, aren’t you the Pope anymore?"
"I haven’t been for a long time, or rather, I was temporarily appointed to clean up a mess. Now that the Church Court is back on track, there’s no need for me to stay in that position. I’d rather do something I want to do." The Female Pope spoke quietly.
"Something you want to do?" Xue Dili was a bit puzzled.
"Live a peaceful life, and then find someone who doesn’t dislike me and whom I don’t dislike to spend the rest of my life with."
Xue Dili: "..."
Well, the Female Pope is thirty after all.
Xue Dili said nothing, quietly drinking his tea.
Meanwhile, the old Undead seemed to play ghostly pranks by catching Little Tree Lady and Little Dragon Lady, holding them down, drawing turtles on their faces with watercolor pens.
Xue Dili was somewhat speechless. Little Dragon Lady’s mindset probably still loved these games. As for Xue Lingshu, she was probably just entertaining the old fellow and her silly sister, trying to fit in.
"Grandpa, I want to eat KFC tomorrow! Grandma never lets us eat lots of KFC, she likes to cook herself. Recently, sister Fafnir also started learning to cook. It tastes just like Grandma’s, and we’re tired of it!" Little Dragon Lady held onto Old Deng’s clothes, chattering.
"Sigh, I remember that stuff is all fried, right?" The old fellow had eaten quite a bit of fried chicken before. Initially, he thought it was nice, but after a while, he found it greasy, and indeed unhealthy.
"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Little Dragon Lady seemed to have learned how to act cute from somewhere, and the old fellow lost himself amidst her calls of "Grandpa."
"Alright, alright, I’ll bring a family bucket for my good granddaughters tomorrow..."
Xue Dili: "..."
Alola: "..."
The two who were sitting beside drinking tea were speechless.
And Old Deng seemed unaware of the situation here, continuing to say: "But, good granddaughters, do you want a gentle and pretty mom?"
"Mom?" Little Dragon Lady asked, still confused.
"It’s someone who can cook for you and pick you up from school every day." The old Undead seemed to know Xue Dili couldn’t help, so he prepared to take a roundabout approach.
"But Grandma does that too." Little Dragon Lady looked at Old Deng confusedly.
"It’s different, different..."
Old Deng was still coaxing Xue Dili’s two daughters, while the Female Pope could only smile awkwardly.
Despite Xue Dili having muted all conversations about marriage from the old Undead, he always managed to come up with something new.
"By the way, where are you staying? Are you accustomed to living here?" Xue Dili asked.
"Not bad. Grandpa and I are working at a farm in Silver Country. Grandpa mostly makes pizzas, and other times he wears an Ultraman costume to take pictures and play with the kids visiting the farm. Occasionally, when there are too many kids, he even does flips in the costume and has performance matches with the Knight Commander in a monster costume." The Female Pope explained their current life.
Xue Dili: "..."
On one hand, he was surprised they were working in Silver Country. On the other hand, he couldn’t believe the Little Princess of Silver Country had a business sense to set up a program to entertain kids.
Nearly half of the people visiting the guesthouse are families. It’s normal to bring a child, and anyone who’s taken care of a child knows that traveling with them is the least worry-free thing.
The farm essentially offered childcare services, with a comprehensive team to play with the kids, liberating many parents to have their own fun.
Ordinarily, kids would feel uneasy seeing their parents, but if they see Ultraman and the little monster, who are mom and dad? They don’t know, just go play.
Truly, a genius for business... Xue Dili wondered why Old Green’s daughter, obviously a correspondent, had such business talent.
"Looks like the old fellow is enjoying himself too..." Xue Dili commented.
"Yeah, he really likes his current job, playing Ultraman while making pizzas and stir-frying noodles for the kids. Many times, he’s so engrossed in stir-frying noodles in his costume for the kids that he doesn’t even stop when it’s time to clock out." The Female Pope also commented.
