"Dog!" A crisp call.
Zuo Xiaoduo, who was recalling his dream with a dazed look in his eyes, slowly focused his scattered gaze, and then he covered his head with the quilt in depression.
"Puppy..." The voice came again, with a long tone and a bit of cheerfulness, proving that the owner of the voice was very happy at the moment.
But Zuo Xiaoduo was in a very unhappy mood.
Because the name "Puppy" is for him. Anyone who is called "Puppy" would not be happy.
But Zuo Xiaoduo can't be angry now.
He didn't dare to get angry.
He didn't know how many names he had.
Yes, that's right, it was my mother who was calling me. How dare I get angry
One hundred percent helplessness.
From mom and dad's mouths, ever since Zuo Xiaoduo could remember, he remembered that his own name was as numerous as the sands of the vast Yangtze River and the stars of the endless galaxy.
And what to name it depends entirely on the mood of parents.
When you are in a good mood, you can call them dog, puppy, kitten, little milf, little egg, little darling... whatever you think of.
When I'm in a normal mood, I call Xiaoduo, which basically makes me serious.
When I'm in a bad mood, especially when I provoke them, they will call me little bastard, little asshole, little bastard, little coward, little bastard, little debt collector, little heartless... everything is there.
And they are called in dialects from all over the place.
Zuo Xiaoduo sometimes wonders how knowledgeable his parents are. They know all the dialects from south to north and from east to west, and they use them specifically to scold him...
The way you address your parents is a barometer of your own understanding of their mood.
For example, if she calls you "dog, dog" now, it proves that your mother is in a good mood. Since she is happy, she will not get angry easily, so it doesn't matter if you don't agree with her.
…
I have to guess whether I'm going to be beaten based on the name I'm called... It's so hard for me.
Zuo Xiaoduo lay on the bed, sighing silently.
Calling him "dog" or "little dog" randomly is fine. The problem is that Zuo Xiaoduo is extremely dissatisfied with his current name!
Xiaoduo
Listen, what kind of name is this
Not domineering at all!
For example, there is a classmate named Zhao Jianghu! How cool! Another one is called Li Changtian; that sounds awesome!
But my name is...
And, that day...
Dad had drunk a little too much and seemed to be in a good mood, so Zuo Xiaoduo asked boldly: Why is my name Xiaoduo? Can I change to a better name
My father looked at me with a sidelong look of disdain and said firmly, "No!"
"Why?"
"No reason! Changing the name won't work!"
"Then why is it called Xiaoduo? You can always tell, right?"
At that time, my father snorted, rolled his eyes, and said lightly: "Because of your birth, it is a little redundant to your mother and me."
…
A little extra = a little extra?!
Zuo Xiaoduo felt that his heart at that time was like the string of ellipsis above.
I guess you think my birth has destroyed your world of two
Am I so redundant
Who wouldn't be overjoyed to have a bloodline inheritance? Especially since I'm a boy. Why is it redundant when it comes to you two
At that time, Zuo Xiaoduo asked with tears in his eyes: "Do you dislike me so much?"
Dad took a sip of wine and said slowly...
Well, I need to make a special note here: Xiaoduo's father has a very gentle and refined temperament, elegant and unrestrained, and he is handsome and tall, and looks like a handsome man in this world. Except for being a little lazy, he has no shortcomings at all...
Dad said slowly, "She disliked it at first, but then your mom realized that since you were born, she actually had an extra fun toy... She found that having a child is actually quite fun, so as she played with you... slowly, she didn't dislike it so much anymore..."
Toy!
Hearing these two words, Zuo Xiaoduo was devastated and became autistic.
You two gave birth to a toy!
My mother was beside me and said: Isn't the purpose of having a child to play with? Just like the cat raised by your Aunt Li and the dog raised by your Aunt Wang; no matter what it is, you have to raise one to play with, right
What you said makes a lot of sense.
I was speechless.
That was the end of our conversation that night.
Zuo Xiaoduo felt that he no longer had any interest in asking anything else, and returned to his room with a traumatized heart.
Zuo Xiaoduo felt that this was all thanks to his big heart.
He felt that he was too open-minded. He didn't take such a serious blow seriously and survived it without a care in the world. And the most amazing thing was that after that night, he was relieved. No, to be more precise, he was relieved before that night was over.
Hey, I am just a toy... a toy, just a toy...
In this world, who isn’t someone else’s toy
But, can we change the name
…
"Dog!"
A roar sounded at the door, and my mother pushed the door open angrily: "Didn't you hear me?! Are you deaf?"
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly jumped up from the bed, with a flattering face: "I heard it, I heard it, I was just about to go and help you with the work... I'm coming..."
At the door, there was a beautiful woman with a tall and slender figure and pretty face, who looked only 27 or 28 years old. She was Zuo Xiaoduo's mother.
Biological mother!
When most people see Zuo's mother for the first time, they can't help but admire her and have a lot of imagination. The beauty in front of them looks so gentle and virtuous. She must be the legendary good-tempered, outstanding wife and mother.
But only Zuo Xiaoduo herself knew how terrible and horrible this good wife and mother, who was gentle and virtuous in the eyes of outsiders, was when she treated her own son.
Zuo Xiaoduo has lived under the shadow of his mother for seventeen years. Now he has developed to the point where he stands at attention as a conditioned reflex when he hears his mother's roar.
Whenever that gentle, virtuous and beautiful face became serious, Zuo Xiaoduo would feel a burst of pain in his buttocks - because it was accompanied by a delicious meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.
His men will show no mercy.
Most families have a strict father and a kind mother; but in Zuo Xiaoduo's family, it's the opposite: a strict mother and a kind father.
A kind father... Actually, he is not that kind, or it would be more appropriate to say that he is heartless; but a strict mother, she is really strict!
Zuo Xiaoduo actually couldn't understand why so many years had passed and there wasn't even a trace left on his mother's face.
Still so youthful and beautiful.
Of course, my own father was the same, he looked to be about 26, 27, 28 or 29 years old; at least he didn't feel more than 30 years old. He was handsome and elegant, and people would like him at first sight, thinking he was a learned man of letters.
But in fact…
hehe.
…
"Help me with the work?" The mother's face was full of doubt: "Dad, are you so filial?"
Zuo Xiaoduo jumped up and massaged his mother's shoulders attentively: "Oh, mother, you are so tired every day. I feel sorry for you. Let me massage your shoulders..."
Wu Yuting squinted her eyes, enjoying her son's massage, and said comfortably: "You want money? No! I tell you, Zuo Xiaoduo, your pocket money for this month has been spent in advance, and it's over the limit."
Zuo Xiaoduo stopped immediately and cried, "You are really my biological mother... It's too much, I haven't even opened my mouth yet..."
Wu Yuting rolled her eyes, and actually had the feeling of a young girl. She pouted and said, "You came out of my belly, how could I not know what you are thinking?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was dejected.
"Don't even think about asking your dad for it!"
Zuo Xiaoduo felt like he had lost both his parents.
"Don't even think about asking your sister Xiao Nian for it! Three hundred star coins a month for pocket money, if converted to other people's families, it would be enough for a whole family for a month. But you, on the other hand, already paid this month's money in advance last month. Zuo Xiaoduo, tell me yourself, how much money has our family spent on your weird dream? How many times have we gone through it with you? Do you still want to continue to go through it?"
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly felt like he had no desire to live. He begged:
"Mom! I have something important to do! I really have something important to do!!"
Wu Yuting sneered: "As a person who can sleep fourteen hours a day... what kind of work can he do?"
Zuo Xiaoduo covered her heart with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I feel hurt..."
"It's good if you have a heart..."
Wu Yuting played on Zuo Xiao's forehead and turned around: "Hurry up to help me choose vegetables, your dad and your young sister are coming back ... Your dad has to sleep at noon after eating. You have to sit and practice after you eat it after eating.
Zuo Xiaoduo was silent as a cicada... and hurriedly followed with his tail between his legs.
"Mom, leave everything alone, I'll do it. I'll take care of it all!"
…
While picking vegetables, Zuo Xiaoduo sighed and rolled his eyes.
Is there any way to trick some money out of my mom? I don't need much, just three thousand. No, two thousand is also fine. If that doesn't work, fifteen thousand is also fine!
Plus my own private money...
Experiment to see if this strange dream of mine is real and whether that world really exists
Is this really a dream
Have I really been a charlatan in that world for so many years... er, a fortune teller
"Money... you are the eternal resentment in my heart..."
Three hundred a month is really not enough.
…
noon.
The living room was filled with the aroma of food.
The door creaked and a voice said, "What a nice smell! Looks like I need to drink something today." Then a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in.
He is tall, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, handsome and elegant, with black hair like ink. The fitted clothes make his figure look elegant and graceful. He is wearing shiny black leather shoes and has a calm and gentle face.
It was Zuo Xiaoduo’s father, Zuo Changlu.
The left long road is what I call the long road under my feet.
"Xiao Nian hasn't come back yet?"
Zuo Changlu asked as a matter of routine, but he knew that his daughter would come home about a quarter of an hour later than him every day. Everyone's sense of time was very accurate, and there would be no mistakes. If she missed this time, she would basically not come back to eat.
Then he sat down at the dining table and said with a smile, "Ting'er, I found that thing for Xiao Nian."
Wu Yuting came out wiping her hands and asked in surprise, "You found it? How much did it cost?"
"It's just a small amount of money." Zuo Changlu smiled: "Don't worry about it."
Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs: Money?!
"Oh." Wu Yuting smiled gently: "Okay, I'll be so happy when Xiaonian comes back."
Zuo Xiaoduo was serving soup in the kitchen, listening with his ears perked up, pouting: I wonder if there is a gift for me... If there is, I will convert it into money...
"What are you happy about?" A quiet voice came quietly. There was a slight sound at the door, as if someone was changing slippers; then, a girl in a blue dress walked in.
She had a slender body, about 1.7 meters tall, a little thin, but well-proportioned, with long, smooth hair, a peaceful face, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were like two small, clear pools of water... She was like a lotus in pure water, untainted by worldly dust.
Anyone who sees this girl at first glance will have this feeling: This girl is so clean and pure! And then they will suddenly be filled with amazement!
This girl seemed to be born with a certain temperament that made people who saw her feel calm and peaceful in their hearts. Faced with such a beautiful girl, they couldn't even think of profaning her, but could only admire her purely!
It was Zuo Xiaoduo’s sister, Zuo Xiaonian.
"Daddy is back early." Zuo Xiaonian's peaceful face warmed up. He looked around and asked, "Gou Da is not home?"
Zuo Xiaoduo roared angrily in the kitchen: "Don't call me a dog!"
Zuo Xiaonian chuckled, and this chuckle made her look even more charming and cute. She became lively and rolled her eyes. "What can you do if I call you a dog? Dog! Puppy! Haha..."
Zuo Xiaoduo rushed out holding a rice spoon, but Wu Yuting grabbed his ear and said, "Are you trying to rebel? You're using my rice spoon to hit someone!"
"It hurts, it hurts..." Zuo Xiaoduo tilted his head with a distorted face, "Mom! Your partiality is too obvious! I am also your son! Your own son!"
Zuo Xiaoduo could never understand why his mother twisted his ears.
How did my mother train herself? No matter how fast I was, as long as I passed by her and she wanted to twist my ears, she would never miss!
Just stretch out your hand, twist it and even turn it around!
"Biased? Humph, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about biased."
Wu Yuting snorted coldly.
Zuo Xiaoduo tilted his head and looked at Zuo Xiaonian, who was twisting his ears towards him, then made a face...
This kind of girl's movements can only be seen at home, and outsiders will never see it.
…
"Xiao Nian," Zuo Changlu said calmly while eating, "How are your chances of impacting the Yin-Yang Realm this time?"
Zuo Xiaonian subconsciously straightened up and said respectfully, "It should be fine. I will break through in the Star Power Room of the Martial Academy. I have sufficient Star Power, and I have prepared a lot of spiritual medicines. I have also prepared a few Star Beast Inner Pills as backup. Also, the place is heavily guarded, the instructors of the Martial Academy are guarding diligently, and my master and several others are protecting us, so nothing will happen."
Zuo Changlu hummed and said, "Just keep it in mind." Then he took out a small exquisite box from his pocket, put it on the table, pushed it forward, and said, "Here, don't be stingy if you can use it, and keep it if you can't."
Zuo Xiaonian hummed, took the box and opened it, then suddenly cried out in surprise, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with incredible shock: "Life Yuan Dan?! Father, this... this..."
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Zuo Xiaoduo was also shocked, and looked at it with shining eyes. He saw a pill in the box, one side was pure black, emitting a faint light, and the other side was pure white, emitting a bright white light; the pill was placed in the box quietly, but the black and white colors seemed to be flowing naturally, constantly rotating.
It is the holy medicine for warriors, the Life Yuan Pill!
For warriors below the Dan Yuan stage, taking one pill can instantly replenish all their life energy! Therefore, there has always been a saying that "one pill equals one life".
It was just right for Zuo Xiaonian to use it to charge into the Yin-Yang Realm, a critical juncture of life and death. It was normal for ordinary warriors to exhaust their energy when charging into the Yin-Yang Realm. Why was it called the Yin-Yang Realm? If you charged through it, you would live.
If you can’t get through, you will die.
That’s why it’s called the Yin-Yang Realm.
And for Zuo Xiaonian, having this pill is like having an extra life.
Zuo Changlu smiled faintly: "Take it!"
"This..." Zuo Xiaonian's expression gradually calmed down. He held the box in his hand and asked softly, "This Life Yuan Pill costs one million. Dad, where did you get so much money? Besides... this thing, even if you have money, is not in demand. It has already been sold for five million on the black market. A lot of people are waiting. How did you get it? If the price is too high, we don't want it."
one million.
Zuo Xiaoduo was startled.
Zuo Xiaonian's beautiful face showed a trace of anxiety: "I am really sure that I don't need this."
Zuo Changlu frowned and said, "If I tell you to take it, just take it! You don't need to worry about the money at home."
The voice sounded a little serious.
Zuo Xiaonian's eyes turned red, and his slender fingers grasped the Life Yuan Pill. He trembled slightly, and after a long moment, he whispered, "Yes."
Zuo Changlu slowed down his voice: "That's right! Xiao Nian, you have a bright future ahead of you. After the Yin-Yang Realm, you will enter the Dan Yuan Stage, and then the various realms... Your mother and I can't help you too much, but you are my daughter after all. We will help you as far as we can. When there is really nothing we can do, you can go on your own. Before that, don't worry too much. Do you understand?"
"This is the life and death barrier of Yin Yang Road. This pill is your life. I may not be able to pay for other things, but this is the money to buy my daughter's life. No matter what, I have to pay for it."
Zuo Xiaonian was silent for a moment, and said: "Dad, if I can successfully break through Dan Yuan this time, I will be satisfied and don't want to go any further... This road is really tiring! I feel that I can't stand it. After I break through this time, I will wait until Xiaoduo is 20 years old. I think, at that time, I will marry Xiaoduo..."
Zuo Xiaoduo widened his eyes in shock.
Then I heard my father and mother shout at the same time: "Nonsense!"
"Shut up!"
Zuo Xiaonian was about to cry and said, "Dad!"
Zuo Changlu's indifferent expression completely disappeared.
He put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "You, Zuo Xiaonian, are my daughter, although not my biological daughter; but your mother and I have raised you since you were in your cradle, so you are no different from a biological daughter."
"You are our daughter, not our child bride!"
"When you were eight or nine years old, your mother jokingly said that it would be great if you could marry Xiaoduo so that your family would never be separated... It was just a joke from your mother, but I didn't expect that you would remember it until now."
“But…” Zuo Changlu sighed and said, “Don’t say such things anymore!”
