Chapter 1335 The three days were in the air.
Just as the two were talking, a nimble figure suddenly jumped down from the ranch fence.
It was a little boy who looked no more than seven or eight years old, wearing a black hood.
When the hood slipped down, it revealed a head of dazzling red hair, almost like a burning flame, just like Mavica's; her red eyes were even more bright and dazzling, containing the temperature and power of the sun.
He is the original sun of Nata, the first fire god, and is revered by the Nata people as "Dear Sun", "Lak", "Burial Fire Source", and is also the Shibarak of "Kiyangoz"!
As the proverb that circulates in Natta goes: "There is only one path left for us, and that is the path of Shibarak."
The seemingly innocent little boy in front of you is actually a figure of Nata's founding ancestor, a legendary being who pioneered Nata's human civilization.
Shibarak looked at Shao Yun, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. The smile was like the midday sun, warm and powerful.
He extended his right hand to Shao Yun and introduced himself in a clear and resounding voice: "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Shibarak, the first generation of the Fire God of Nata."
Looking at the small yet powerful hands in front of him, Shao Yun reached out and shook them. The touch was warmer than he had imagined.
He withdrew his hand and replied calmly, "Oh, hello, I'm Shao Yun, the male owner of this ranch. The female owner, Ying, has gone out on an adventure and is not home for the time being."
After speaking, Shao Yun couldn't help but take a closer look at Shibarak's body.
With his small stature and youthful face, apart from his dazzling red hair and deep red eyes, he looked like just an ordinary little boy from Nata.
He simply couldn't reconcile the image before him with that of the legendary first fire god who founded the Nata civilization.
Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked bluntly, "So, you really are Shibarak? Were you reborn? And turned into a little boy?"
Hibarak had anticipated this question, and with a composed smile on his face, he calmly explained:
"It's not exactly rebirth. To be precise, my soul has simply returned to Nata. I can only temporarily borrow the body of this child named Maso to descend."
After hearing this explanation, Shao Yun didn't show much surprise. He simply said casually, "I see. It's quite amazing."
Although he found it unbelievable, having experienced the Abyss War and seen all sorts of monsters and demons, he was much more accepting of such illogical things than the average person.
Seeing that Shao Yun didn't show much shock, Shibarak continued the conversation, saying, "It's good that you understand. However, the soul's return from the Kingdom of Night is also because of Ronawa."
"Ronawa?" Upon hearing this name, Shao Yun was taken aback, his pupils contracting slightly. He instinctively asked, "Are you talking about the Reign of Death?"
Shibarak nodded slowly, a knowing smile on his face, and explained:
“That’s right. Back then, in order to fight against the abyss’s corruption when I first entered Nata, I borrowed some of Ronawa’s power to construct the rules of Nata’s ‘Resurrection Poem’ in order to fight against the abyss.”
"Because Mavica, or rather 'you,' completely defeated the Abyss, I also won the bet with the Reign of Death. And because of the agreement I made with the Reign of Death, she allowed me to return to the human world to see the world as it is today."
“Actually, according to the agreement, I was only supposed to stay for one day,” Shibarak said, then changed the subject, raising his hand to his forehead with a bitter expression, his tone full of guilt.
“But I have an extra task… Sigh, I’m really sorry to Maso. I’ve been using his body for the past few days, which has disrupted his life. I feel very sorry for him and his family.”
Upon hearing that Shibarak had been using Maso's body for several days, Shao Yun, completely oblivious, immediately asked:
"So, for the next couple of days, do you have to call Maso's parents 'Dad' and 'Mom'?"
Shibarak was clearly taken aback by the sudden question. After a moment of surprise, he burst into hearty laughter and praised him:
"Haha, you're just like what Yagami Sora said! You always manage to notice details that ordinary people miss, and your thinking is so unconventional. It's really interesting!"
Shao Yun waved his hand dismissively and said, "Hey, I was just asking. Let's go inside and talk."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the main house, his steps casual, showing no restraint whatsoever in the face of the first Vulcan.
Seeing this, Mavica quickly followed Shao Yun's footsteps, and did not forget to turn back and make a "please" gesture to Shibarak.
Seeing Shao Yun's carefree figure, Shibarak quickly followed after him.
……
The sun in the sky, Nata's original "sun" Shibarak, and the current "sun" Mawika gathered together, the three suns in the sky belong to it.
But in Shao Yun's view, it doesn't matter whether it's the first generation of the God of Fire or the current generation of the God of Fire, as long as they come, they are all his guests and he should treat them well.
The ranch may not have much else, but it has plenty of food. After all, it can feed Paimon's little stomach, so how could its reserves be lacking?
Ningguang, seeing that Mavica, the contemporary fire god of Nata, had come to visit, dared not be negligent and prepared a unique snack.
Afterwards, she walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray with three bowls of crystal-clear desserts on it, and gently placed them on the coffee table.
"This is fresh milk mango pudding. It uses edible gelatin purchased from Fontainebleau, paired with freshly squeezed milk from the ranch, and the fruit is the freshest mango picked from the market in Suspended Wood this morning. It should taste good, please try it."
Shibarak curiously picked up the bowl, and instantly the rich aroma of mango filled his nostrils, mixed with the mellow scent of milk. It was sweet but not cloying, and just the smell alone was enough to make one's mouth water.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "It looks so tempting! Thank you, beautiful lady!"
The childlike face paired with the slightly mature praise was particularly amusing.
Ningguang smiled without showing her teeth, and nodded slightly in response, "Please enjoy your meal."
Mavica, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait any longer. She picked up a spoon and scooped out a big spoonful of pudding and put it in her mouth.
The cool, silky texture melts instantly on the tongue, perfectly blending the sweetness of mango with the rich aroma of milk, resulting in a smooth and refreshing taste.
Although it lacks the stimulating flavor of rich, meaty dishes, it is still a delicious meal.
"This tastes amazing, absolutely delicious!" With that, Mavica began to scoop up and eat with great relish, completely abandoning her usual dignified demeanor as the Goddess of Fire.
Since things have come to this, let's eat first!
Seeing how much Mavica loved it, Shao Yun thought of little Paimon at home who was always hungry, and teased her:
“I remember Paimon also really liked this kind of food. But come to think of it, in all this time, I’ve never seen her dislike anything.”
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun had a brief chat with Shibarak, and the topic naturally veered back to the final battle to save Nata from the abyss.
After listening to Shao Yun's description of the life-or-death battle between Nata and the Abyss, Shibarak commented with great interest:
"So that's how it happened. The Abyss itself, which had troubled Nata for so long, was dealt with by Mr. Shao Yun, and without even relying on the power of the Death Ruler. It's truly unbelievable..."
Mavica immediately echoed her words, her gaze involuntarily falling on Shao Yun, and said:
"Yes! Mr. Shao Yun is really strong! If it weren't for him, I don't know if I could have made it to the end..."
As she spoke, the admiration in her eyes was undisguised, as if she were talking about her proudest achievement: fighting alongside Shao Yun.
Shao Yun, flattered by the two fire gods who spanned a thousand years, quickly waved his hand and said very politely, "Alright, alright, stop praising me like that. No matter how much you praise me, I'm just a rancher now."
Just then, soft footsteps came from the second floor, and Shen He came down the stairs carrying Xi.
"Mr. Shao Yun, you're back?" Shen He glanced at the guests on the living room sofa and greeted them politely, "We have guests too. Welcome."
Looking at Shen He's daughter in his arms, Shao Yun's face instantly filled with a gentle smile, and she casually asked, "Shen He, where are you going?"
Shen He raised his hand and pointed towards the kitchen, his voice still soft.
"The baby just woke up and is a little hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to prepare some baby food, such as soft vegetable puree and rice cereal."
Seeing Shen He carrying the baby while going into the kitchen to work, Mavica asked in confusion, "But, Miss Shen He, how can you prepare baby food while you're holding the baby?"
Hearing Mavica's worried question, Shen He revealed his clear eyes, tilted his head slightly, and softly replied:
"Hmm? Is there a problem? It's always been like this, holding the baby in one arm and preparing food with the other. You get used to it and it's not troublesome."
Upon hearing this, not only was Mavica shocked, but her eyes widened in surprise.
In ancient times, Wu Song captured Fang La with one arm; now, Shen He is seen holding a baby and feeding him with one hand—this is simply absurd!
Putting aside how inconvenient it is to operate with one hand, the consequences would be unimaginable if the hand holding the child lost its grip and the little one fell.
Mavica was even more shocked. She never expected that Shao Yun's child's godmother, "Shen He," would be so careless when taking care of the child!
This isn't taking care of a child; it's like dancing on a knife's edge.
She quickly stood up, walked briskly to Shen He's side, carefully extended her hands, and advised him in a gentle yet firm tone:
“This is too dangerous, Ms. Shen He. The child is so young, it would be bad if he got hurt. How about this, I will hold the child for you, and you can focus on preparing baby food.”
The simple-minded Shen He didn't think much of it at all. Seeing that Mavica was willing to help, he readily agreed, saying, "Okay, thank you so much, Miss Mavica."
“Xi is very well-behaved and usually doesn’t cry. You just need to hold her gently.” As she spoke, she handed the baby in her arms to Mavica.
After receiving the baby, Mavica followed Shen He's instructions, turned around, and headed towards the nursery on the second floor.
Shen He turned and went into the kitchen, where he began to focus on preparing baby food, leaving only Shao Yun and Shibarak in the living room.
At this moment, seeing that Mavica had temporarily left and that the pleasantries were almost over, Shibarak turned to Shao Yun and said in a serious tone:
"There are some things I can't say in front of Mavica. So, Mr. Shao Yun, could we talk privately?"
Seeing that Shibarak had something important to discuss with him, Shao Yun pointed to the study on the first floor and said, "Okay... let's go to the study."
With that, Shao Yun got up and walked towards the study.
