When I first met, I actually didn't like him very much. I even thought about whether to use my ice axe against his head. After all, according to the situation at the time, this was the most normal option. ”
”Yes, so why did you change your attention afterwards?” The old man took out a pack of Randoms gummies from his pocket, tore open the bag, grabbed a handful from it and threw it into his mouth.
”Because my wife, she has been a heartless person since she was a child. Every day she lives in a daze. She likes to push all the problems to the people around her to solve it, which is not at all worrying, but However, he has a natural instinct, that guy never missed a step in all the major events in life. I always thought that this was also some kind of supernatural ability. I didn't get the answer to this question until we got married.”
”What is it?” The old man was also interested and asked, chewing on the gummies.
”No matter how cruel the world is, the world is full of sins, she can always find the kindness hidden behind this cruel and sinister that is ignored by others, so this world always returns her with kindness.” Father Zhang Said, ”At that time, we were in the city under the ice, and we all saw that the child was going to die after leaving the tentacles, but we were indifferent, and even faintly expected him to die, but only Xiaoxia wanted to let the child live.

I almost thought that you had been influenced by the owner of the city under the ice and became its fanatics.” The old man said, ”but I found him surprised After having a soul, it is indeed no longer suitable for the group of esoterics who brought him by or handed it to me. It may be a good choice for your husband and wife to adopt him.”
After a pause, he continued, ”So, you are willing to challenge the gods for him because he once saved you in that ice city?”
Father Zhang did not answer this question, but instead asked, ”You have never raised any children. Although you have children, and there are still a lot of them, there are three.”
Cronos raised his eyebrows, ”We are gods, and indeed we don't have much experience in this area.”
