The Great Oishi Zu's
Chicken or duck?

The sound of fireworks woke Val, the loud explosion made Val jump in shock. Spontaneously opened the window of the carriage and stared at the sky filled with sparks. His eyes were round looking at the beautiful sculptures in the sky, this was the first time in this life Val saw her.

However, his gaze turned dark as Zhu Rey covered her eyes with a blindfold.

"The fabric is missing, it's strange when Zhu Long said once the tie might come off."Zhu Rey Mumbled.

Val's lips looked so cute, he had just enjoyed the beautiful scenery. But Zhu Rey closed her gaze, Val felt like hitting Zhu Rey on the head.

"Don't be angry, it's for your own good."Zhu Rey said as she looked at Val's expression.

His eyes glanced at the window sill that Val was holding, now broken making him have to think what reason he said. The moment Zu Ji Xuan woke up and inquired about the broken window sills.

"You want to go to sleep again? The man was still asleep and snoring loudly."

Val shook his head."maybe will,"

"Well, by the way we've reached the capital."Zhu Rey said as she looked out the window.

"It's a pity that Val might be able to see everything here."Val complained, making Zhu Rey speechless.

"Would you promise me one thing?"Zhu Rey asked suddenly.

It made Val confused as he heard Zhu Rey's voice in a serious tone, more serious than usual.

"Yes." Yeah."Val answered without hesitation.

"Please promise me, don't use your power openly, then be an innocent child as usual do not show that you have mature thoughts and have greater strength than a human child of your age."Zhu Rey said as she gripped Val's shoulder tightly.

Val was speechless at Zhu Rey's words, he probably wanted to ask more even though he was curious about the reason. Zhu Rey said that for her own good.

"Well, Val understands."

Zhu Rey smiled in relief, she hoped Val would actually do as she said. Quite a person who attracts the attention of the Emperor, Val may be able to attract the attention of the Emperor that only makes Val in danger considering the current Val might be able to control his strength properly.

"You should enjoy some time here before we go."Zhu Rey.

"Understand,"Check Val.

The girl decided to lay her head on Zhu Rey's lap. He wanted to sleep for a while before actually reaching his destination. Zhu Rey carefully stroked Val's hair, her smile they felt the softness of Val's hair.

Fate really likes to play tricks on someone, Zhu Rey might like to remember she might be able to be with Val for longer. He was going to go see the Elite Spirit Clan Leader. Usually called the Great Lord, Val may join Zhu Rey and may act freely if she has a burden.

"I'll sort out my problems as soon as I can, and I'll probably pick you up after my problems are over."Zhu Rey muttered with sad eyes.

The young man might be able to accompany Val away to another continent, he thought his plan of going to the upper world would take a very long time. But who would have thought Ang Bei and Dun Ming picked her up.

....

Val woke up he felt someone was holding him, it was true that Zu Ji Xuan was carrying him. Zu Ji Xuan realized that Val was awake.

"We've arrived at Father's Pavilion."Said Zu Ji Xuan pleased.

The magnificent and classic building amazed Val. He had not expected to stay in his father's pavilion from today.

"Your mother is in waiting for you."Zu Ji Xuan took Val down.

Chu Zu swiftly caught Val."Oh my goodness my mother's daughter is getting bigger and heavier."

"Mother! Val misses you."Said Val hugging Chu Zu tightly.

The woman returned Val's embrace and kissed Val's forehead full of tenderness. Val's eyes glazed over, he really missed Chu Zu if only Zhu Long had come with him. Val would proudly introduce Chu Zu to Zhu Long.

"Good son, mother misses you too."

Zu Ji Xuan and Zhu Rey stared at the two of them flatly. They were forgotten for a moment.

"Thank God you survived that incident, mom was so useless for not protecting you properly."

"Don't worry Val is so strong."Val said while showing off his small hand head.

Feeling anxious with Val, Chu Zu kissed Val's cheek several times. The day was really relieved to see Val was still in front of his eyes.

"The waiter brought some sweet snacks here, then with tea don't forget to prepare the dinner."Chu Zu's orders to the servant closest to him.

The servants walked out of the pavilion towards the palace kitchen. Zu Ji Xuan sat down on the chair beside Chu Zu, while Zhu Rey stood in front of the window looking at the fireworks.Alis Chu Zu scrunched up she just realized Val was using an eye patch, the woman asked her husband for an explanation.

Zu Ji Xuan explained what he had heard from Zhu Rey, then Chu Zu decided not to ask more. He was afraid Val would be uncomfortable if asked about his eyes.

"Jiejie where? Val didn't hear his voice and didn't smell his scent."

"Zu Ji Shi is still in the imperial school, I heard that the student there did not get a vacation ration but your Jiejie gave a gift to you Val."Chu Zu took out a small puppet that could become a hanger.

"Don't a bear."Val stared in amazement.

Although she looks tiny about the size of her palm, Val likes her so much that she can make the Doll a bag hanger. Or maybe it was hung with an identification tag.

"You like her a lot."

"Yes." Yeah."Nod Val with sparkling eyes.

"Your mother made this too! Hows it? You must like her."Zu Ji Xuan gave the yellow colored doll a round shape .

"Why did you give her?! I just told you to save it, I should have given the doll to Val."

Zu Ji Xuan laughed seeing Chu Zu bellowing furiously, Val was still observing the puppet in front of him. What doll actually? It is yellow with a beak and a pair of round eyes with small wings and webbed feet.

"Duck?"Val's head was slightly tilted he was thinking hard.

"That's right! Val is smart."Praise Zu Ji Xuan.

"Wrong, that's a chick."Denied Chu Zu was upset.

Zu Ji Xuan was staring at his dazed wasn't the puppet more akin to a little duck?

"The chicken."Mumbled Val.

The girl received the second doll, she hugged it tightly without caring about the Zu couple's debate. They argue about the type of doll, but Val doesn't care if the doll is a chicken or a duck.
