(Angry face)

Lynn (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)——
Beside them, Wushen stared at the Titan Head, which had turned into a Fertilized Egg, and almost instantly burst into unrestrained laughter.
She was so amused she was shaking with laughter, rocking back and forth.
She grabbed the Fertilized Egg, which was about the size of a ball, covered her forehead, and snickered:"Oh? Is this the once mighty and famous Titan Giant God? We haven't seen each other for a few minutes, and you've fallen this far?"
"Squeak—! Squeak—!!"
The Fertilized Egg let out furious cries.
Wushen sighed, "There's no need, really no need. I know you really want to go back to the past, but you really didn't need to make yourself this young!"
"Look at yourself, you've become so young you're an egg now, but let me tell you..."
She blinked seriously and said:
"It's quite distinctive!"
"Squeak!! Squeak!!"
The Titan Fertilized Egg jumped up in rage, finally unable to hold back any longer, and knocked her to the ground.
Because if he couldn't figure out who was behind this by now, he would be truly stupid!
Instantly.
The loli and the egg started fiercely fighting each other again.
And this time, the fight was even more intense.
"You useless good-for-nothing! How dare you laugh at me earlier! Back then, it was you who came licking your face, chasing after me every day! Did you think I would marry an old guy like you, who's tens of thousands of years older than me?!"
"Squeak—! Squeak—!"
The two (fierce expression) fought so fiercely it seemed to shake heaven and earth, the entire ground trembling.
On the other side, watching this scene, Little One let out a giggle, instantly stretched out her slender arms, and waved them, shouting:
"Go, Dad! Go, Mom!!"
On Little One's shoulder, Lynn turned his head, his eyes reflecting the reminiscent smile on Little One's face.
He opened his mouth and asked:
The two (fierce expression) fought so fiercely it seemed to shake heaven and earth, the entire ground trembling.
Little One blinked, turned her head to look at Lynn on her shoulder, then gently closed her eyes, cradled Lynn in her arms, and sat down.
The night breeze blew, her golden hair like awnings.
She looked exceptionally peaceful, serene, and beautiful.
"Yes..."
At some point, she lifted her head, opened her eyes to gaze at the dark sky, her eyes seemingly filled with hope.
"Dad and Mom used to play-fight like this often. Once, they fought really, really fiercely, so bad that even the house collapsed. Little One was so scared, I hid under the bed and cried..."
She smiled and rubbed her moist eyes.
"I thought Dad and Mom would definitely never speak to each other again, might even never be together again, so I was scared the whole night."
"But the next day..."
Hugging her knees hopefully, she looked at the sky.
"They acted as if nothing had happened, happily applying ointment to each other's wounds in the living room, treating their injuries, saying some intimate words... The smiles on their faces were as if the argument from the previous night had never happened at all..."
She turned her head, looking at Lynn with smiling eyes, like a little sprite.
"It wasn't until later that I realized that was just their way of being together. They deeply loved each other, but when conflicts arose, they would also fiercely fight until the other was bruised and bleeding."
Lynn said speechlessly, "A strange way of being together..."
"Yeah, maybe it's a way unique to them."
Little One lifted her head, smoothed the long hair by her ear, blinked at Lynn, rested her chin on her hand, and said:
"But... Little One is really happy."
"Doctor, didn't you notice? Actually, Dad and Mom... they haven't held any malice towards you for a long time now."
Lynn was startled.
He looked into the distance at Little One's parents roughhousing.
Slowly.
He began to understand the meaning behind Little One's words.
Yes!
No matter who it is, even the evil ghosts of hell, have something beautiful they once held dear.
He jumped down from Little One's shoulder, smiled, and gave Little One a thumbs-up, his teeth making a *ding* sound as a glint of light flashed.
Little One grinned and nodded vigorously, also stretching out her hand and giving a thumbs-up.
Her hand gently touched Lynn's hand.
One big, one small.
But unexpectedly harmonious.
As if everything was understood without words, the faintly visible mark on their foreheads spoke of the gradually closing connection.
"I might—still forget—might—still not be able to—become a normal girl—"
"But—"
"Thank you so much, my Doctor."
Countless points of light slowly emerged from Little One's body. Her face still wore that beautiful, tearful smile. Her golden hair began to feather away bit by bit, her delicate cheeks and body slowly becoming ethereal.
The sudden intense light made Lynn instinctively close his eyes.
When he opened them again.
The hand in front of him had already vanished, as if everything just now had been nothing but an illusion.
Lynn stared blankly, lost in thought.
In his heart.
For some reason, it suddenly felt empty.
He closed his eyes and said nothing.
Until he felt a strange sensation on his hand. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the tentacle gently extending over, softly touching his hand.
He saw Little One's face opposite him, wearing the same (✪ω✪) expression as before.
"Mmm—Doctor—changed back—"
"Yeah! Changed back."
Lynn forced a sincere smile onto his face.
"Little One—can still—change back—"
"With me here, you can anytime, I promise!"
"Mmm—That's great—If I change back—you must still be Little One's dentist—okay—"
"Of course! Definitely!"
Well, that's how it is.
Perhaps my life was destined from the start to involve dealing with creatures of hell. If that's the case, then...
It might not be so bad.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as he gently held the tentacle Little One extended.
It was like a kind of acceptance.
And also like a kind of change.
The black mist surged, the sky was still pitch black.
Almost imperceptibly, it seemed he heard the sound of a system notification by his ear. But it quickly faded, as if it had never appeared.
