I'm really not a dark Ultraman

Chapter 308 Even the Dark Overlord Can't Hold On

After dealing with the issues concerning Monster Island and the giant stone statue, Lieri had already hidden behind the mountain.

The sky was painted a fiery red, and the light of the sunset was not as hot as that of the day, but seemed much softer. The terrifying high temperature that seemed to roast people into jerky also decreased.

It makes people feel a little bit of the coolness of summer.

Even though more than ten years have passed, the scenery of Hikino Street still looks the same as it did yesterday.

There are scattered small fish and shrimps swimming in the crystal clear river. The bright moon is reflected on the water, casting a hazy moonlight under the sparkling waves.

The croaking of frogs one after another makes people feel a little irritated.

The wooden house was built at the foot of the mountain. It was night but there was no light. The only light was the bright moon in the sky and the fireflies walking in the fields.

Although it was late at night, the area around Hikino Street did not seem deserted at all.

There are all kinds of strange-looking creatures playing around everywhere, not only monsters, but also a large number of humans.

In this area, the relationship between humans, monsters, and aliens is extremely harmonious.

Even at night, the streets are like a night market filled with all kinds of strange things.

This area was a bit noisy, but after walking slowly across the pond and reaching the mountains, all the noise suddenly disappeared.

Although it is only a short distance away, this area seems like a different world from Hikino Street.

The mountainous area is quite quiet with only the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves.

"Lord Zhou Hong." The monsters on duty saw Zhou Hong and lowered their heads to show their respect for him.

Zhou Hong nodded and answered, "Is grandma asleep? Is she still as healthy as before?"

The monster on duty is a kappa, and from the perspective of human aesthetics, it is indeed not very good-looking.

"Grandma's body is still very healthy under the protection of us monsters with various abilities."

"But grandma's sleep has been getting shallower and shallower recently. Even if some little demons make up beautiful dreams in grandma's dreams, they wake up soon after." Kappa answered, his brows furrowed as he spoke.

"That's it."

"Thanks for your hard work." Zhou Hong sighed, "For such a long time, thanks to you for helping me take care of grandma."

Kappa quickly shook his head, "This is what we should do. Grandma treats us like her own children."

"We are rootless duckweed. For us who are drifting, it is you who gave us a place to live and food, and it is grandma who gave us the warmth of home."

"All of us demons respect you and Grandma."

"And the one who works the hardest is Lady Zhou Liang. She often comes to look after Grandma after going on missions."

Liang is a very powerful warrior on the battlefield and a very virtuous wife at home. She can always switch between the two roles very appropriately.

If it weren't for Liang, his virtuous wife, Zhou Hong felt that he would have to spend at least half of his exercise time dealing with various chores.

"She is my wife after all." Zhou Hong pretended to be calm.

But Kappa is not an ordinary human after all. He can clearly see the pride hidden in Zhou Hong's eyes.

"Since grandma is asleep, I'll come over tomorrow."

As if the conversation outside the door was heard, the quiet wooden house seemed to wake up.

"yoyoyo~" A low and light voice suddenly sounded, and a white afterimage came out of the window of the room, and stood on Zhou Hong's shoulder in the blink of an eye.

The pink tongue gently licked Zhou Hong's cheek.

"Long time no see, Xiaobai." Zhou Hong grabbed the snow-white fox in his arms.

The big hand stroked its erect ears, and with just the right amount of force it turned its head.
"Is that Ahong?" The old lady's voice was a little weak. Coming from the wooden house, it was not even louder than the sound of swaying leaves.

"It's me, grandma." Zhou Hong answered in a low voice.

It is obvious that Zhou Hong always behaves in a wild manner whether in the sophisticated research laboratory or the director's office, but when he stands outside the wooden house, he shows a completely different look.

His steady voice and restrained look made him look like a big fool.

It didn't take long before the door of the cabin was opened by a little raccoon.

Over the past decade, the old lady's gray hair has become paler and the wrinkles on her cheeks have become more and more visible.

Her gentle eyes did not change at all, and she looked at Zhou Hong with concern, "It's so late, why don't you go and have a good rest, and come to see an old woman like me."

"Don't worry about me. I won't die so easily without holding your and Liang's child."

Zhou Hong scratched his cheek slightly embarrassedly.

"You are so busy at work, often working until late at night." The old lady said with concern, "You can't tell when you are young, but you often don't take a good rest. When you are older, how will your body bear it?"

Zhou Hong patted the fragile body that was strong enough to tear a tiger apart and knock an elephant away, and nodded repeatedly to show that he had listened to the old lady's words.

"Grandma, I came here so late because I wanted to ask..."

Before Zhou Hong finished speaking, the old lady began to shake her head slightly.

"The kid Dagu has already told me." The corners of the old woman's mouth curled up slightly, "I'm old enough, and I'm not like you, an old woman, who can fight and protect people."

"Who asked you to fight?" Zhou Hong clenched his fists, "I will beat him to pieces."

Under the helpless look of the old lady, Zhou Hong silently loosened his clenched fists, sat back in the chair obediently, and waited quietly for the old lady's subsequent words.

“I’ve seen all kinds of things in my life.

"Except for not having your and Liang's child, I have no regrets."

Zhou Hong said helplessly, "Then you have to wait."

Perhaps due to the transformation of Ultra Heart, Zhou Hong has surpassed the limits of human beings in terms of physical body. If nothing unexpected happens, the chances of giving birth to offspring are probably very small.

"Anyway, the old man has been waiting for me for so long, a little more time won't make a difference." The old lady always had a smile on her face even when talking about her death.

"If possible, do it as soon as possible. I don't want to wait until I can't hold my grandson anymore." The old lady looked at Zhou Hong with a smile.

Zhou Hong gritted his teeth and answered, "I'll try my best."

Then Zhou Hong's sturdy body quickly fled from the cabin and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
