"But …" Zuo Xiaonian's eyes were filled with tears. "I'm really tired. This road is too difficult … "
Zuo Zhanglu looked at her and said, "Xiao Nian, look into my eyes and tell me, are you really tired? Is this path really that difficult for you? "
Zuo Xiaonian's eyes were red. She turned her head to the side and bit her lip. "Why do you have to chase me out? Isn't it good for us to be together as a family? I know you can't bear to part with me, but I can't bear to part with you even more. "
Her tears finally fell drop by drop.
Zuo Changlu was expressionless. "Zuo Xiaonian, you told me you're tired and can't take it. Hehe, you're nineteen this year. You awakened your Astral Souls at the age of three, built your martial arts foundation at the age of six, became a martial arts disciple at the age of seven, a martial arts master at the age of nine, and entered the Innate Realm at the age of eleven. You completed the Thorny Road at the age of thirteen and entered the Embryonic Breathing Realm. You crossed the boundary between immortals and mortals at the age of sixteen, and you're about to cross the Yin Yang Path and enter the Inner Elixir Realm at the age of nineteen! Your aptitude is not only the best in Phoenix City, but also the best in the Central Plains. Even in the entire Yanwu Country, you're definitely one of the top three geniuses. You said you're tired and can't take it. How can others live? "
What Zuo Changlu said was completely true!
Zuo Xiaonian's aptitude had been proven long ago. Opening all the Hundred Meridians of the Xiantian realm. Such talent was rarely seen in the world. The title of "Phoenix City's Number One Genius Girl" was firmly on her head when she leaped into the Innate Realm at the age of eleven, and no one could shake it.
Zuo Xiaonian was the pride of Phoenix City where she lived. She was also second to none in the Central Plains. If it weren't for the fact that this girl was really homesick and unwilling to leave, she would have been taken to various sects to practice in secret places.
"You've almost never encountered any bottlenecks along the way, and you're telling me you're tired?"
Zuo Changlu snorted and said coldly, "Zuo Xiaonian, put away your ridiculous idea of repaying a debt of gratitude. Although your mother and I are ordinary people with mediocre qualifications, we would never do such a despicable thing as using family affection to keep a genius girl as our daughter-in-law!"
"If you still acknowledge us as your parents, then continue to move forward and carve out your own life for us! If you don't recognize us as your parents, then leave! Now that your wings have hardened, you are an Inner Core expert, a grandmaster of your generation. You can go anywhere in the world! We'll pretend that we never raised you. It's not like my son can't find a wife. He doesn't need your pity! "
"Wow …"
Zuo Xiaonian burst into tears and threw herself into Wu Yuting's arms. She sobbed and trembled. "Mom … Dad scolded me …"
Wu Yuting hugged her daughter and looked at Zuo Changlu reproachfully. "It's okay if you don't like it. Why are you so fierce? Can't you say nice things nicely? That's what I don't like about you. Once you lose your temper, you're not you anymore. "
Zuo Changlu snorted and was still angry. "Then tell me, is this girl asking for a scolding?"
Then he turned to Zuo Xiaoduo. "Did you hear that?"
Zuo Xiaoduo shrunk his shoulders and lowered his head, laughing secretly. When he saw his sister being scolded, he couldn't help but gloat.
What's more, when his father said 'our aptitudes aren't that great', Zuo Xiao Duo was amused. Just as he was chuckling to himself, he was suddenly yelled at. He immediately raised his head, blinked his eyes, and said, "Ah."
"What ah! Let me tell you, your sister will not be on the same path as you in the future. Don't be delusional! " Zuo Changlu said sternly, "If I find out that you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I'll beat you to death. I can't beat your sister now, but I can beat a martial disciple like you!"
Zuo Xiaoduo shuddered. He shrunk his neck and said carefully, "Uh, I wouldn't dare …"
He thought, "This violent woman is only gentle in front of you and outsiders. I've been beaten by her for more than ten years. Isn't that enough? If I become her wife and can't beat her, won't I be beaten for life?
I've known about this since I was six years old. But when I was six years old, I rejected her after she beat me forty to fifty times.
I won't ask for trouble. "
Zuo Xiaonian hugged Zuo Changlu's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, I was wrong … But, you have to say these words in front of Doggy … It'll make him sad." She looked at Zuo Xiaoduo with pity.
Zuo Xiaoduo raised his eyebrows and roared, "Don't call me Doggy!"
Zuo Xiaonian smiled through her tears and made a face at him.
Zuo Changlu sighed and said, "Xiao Duo's talent is average. He has no hope in martial arts. In this world where the strong are respected, he's destined to not go far. It's better to live an ordinary life. Xiao Nian has a bright future. He's destined to be a person from two different worlds … If we don't make it clear now, no matter who has other thoughts, it will inevitably cause regret. Who will benefit? "
Wu Yuting also sighed softly. She hugged her daughter in her arms and said softly, "Xiao Nian, I know what you're thinking … But your dad is right. You have to listen to him … You said that your dad and I treat you like our own. We can't bear to ruin your future. Also, you have to understand that with your current achievements, if you really stay … it will only hurt your brother … If you really stay and marry him, I'm afraid … he won't live for more than a few days …"
Zuo Xiaonian was frightened when she heard that. She suddenly straightened up from her mother's arms. Her face darkened and she fell silent.
A pair of beautiful eyebrows slowly knitted together. There was a flash of fierceness.
After that, the family stopped talking and ate in silence.
Zuo Xiaoduo thought for a long time, but he didn't pay any attention to love. His focus was … the one million yuan. After a while, he finally gathered his courage and said, "Dad, you spent one million yuan to buy the elixirs for my sister?"
Zuo Changlu had also calmed down. He said lightly, "Why? Do you have a problem with that?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said with a face full of saliva, "Dad, my dear dad, it's reasonable that you buy the elixirs for my sister. There's nothing more suitable than that. But … I'm also your son. It's reasonable for me to covet the elixirs. I certainly wouldn't dare to ask for so much … How about ten thousand yuan …?"
Zuo Changlu frowned and slowly turned his head to look at him, "Hmm?"
"… How about eight thousand … Five thousand, five thousand is fine too!" Zuo Xiaoduo raised his hand weakly. Seeing that the old man was about to glare at him, he hurriedly changed his words, "Dad, hehe … Three thousand, three thousand it is …"
"Is it still that strange dream of yours? I don't have a single cent now! " Zuo Changlu slowly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed with relish, "I'll show you the way … Ask your mom for it."
Zuo Xiaoduo cried, "If my mom gave me the elixirs, I wouldn't need to ask you … You're too unfair … Give my sister one million yuan …"
"Well, I won't give it to you. What are you going to do about it?" Zuo Changlu answered casually.
"My position in the family …" Zuo Xiaoduo sighed.
"So you still want to have a position in this family?" Wu Yuting smiled and glanced at her son, "Tell me, what position do you want? You're still not satisfied with being the fourth in command? Why don't I raise someone else and you can be the fifth in command? "
"…"
"Hahaha …" Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but laugh, rocking back and forth.
"Image! Girl, image! Lady, lady! "Wu Yuting glared at her.
Zuo Xiaonian stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to eat. She became obedient.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed and didn't say anything. He was thinking, "Where can I get some money in the afternoon?" Although he was a teenager, he spent his whole life in the dream world. Although he died early in that life and didn't even know whether the experience in the dream world was real or not, his state of mind was incomparable to that of an ordinary seventeen-year-old teenager.
He started to dream when he was eleven and had the same dream continuously for six years. For six years, it hindered his cultivation, delayed his martial arts, and made him sleepy every day …
Otherwise, no matter how bad his aptitude was, he wouldn't be like this now!
The last scene of the dream, the huge explosion of the entire starry sky … seemed to be roaring in his mind.
Countless stars exploded in an instant, and a dazzling light rushed towards him … Then, he woke up from the dream.
Ever since the dream, the broken jade pendant that had suddenly appeared on his chest was a clear indication that all of this was definitely not just a dream.
Now, he only needed to buy the things he needed to test whether his adventure was real or not. Was it an illusion?
But how could he get money?
After so many years of being stingy, the pocket money he saved up was not enough …
Since his parents knew that he was spending money to test the dream world, they didn't give him any more money. Giving him a few thousand for a dream?
He was thinking too much.
…
After dinner.
Zuo Xiaonian went back to her room. Before she left, she winked at Zuo Xiaoduo.
Zuo Changlu also went back to the shop. "I'll go buy some goods in the afternoon. There are no more Astral Souls Stones … This time, I have to buy some high-quality ones to make up for the deficit."
The father and daughter both left.
Wu Yuting sighed and looked at Zuo Xiaoduo. "Xiao Duo, don't be disappointed. This … This is a world of martial arts … Your aptitude … and your Sister Nian are destined to be in two different worlds … "
"I understand. I really understand," Zuo Xiaoduo said calmly.
When his mother called Xiao Duo, even if it was a serious conversation, Zuo Xiaoduo didn't dare to be playful.
In fact, after living a homeless life in the dream world, Zuo Xiaoduo was satisfied with his current family. He was so satisfied that he couldn't be more satisfied.
She couldn't wait to spend her life peacefully and peacefully.
What could be more important than family happiness, peace, and joy?
He was willing to guard this peace and warmth forever and live like this.
Of course, on this foundation, it would be better if he could have great power.
However, he still thought to himself, I knew this was my wife when I was six … Now that I'm seventeen, you told me not to think about it and told me not to be disappointed … You really are my mother.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to do this in the first place … Humph!
…
Wu Yuting sighed deeply.
She looked at her son lovingly.
She felt that her son had a tough life.
In the Astral Souls Continent, martial arts were respected.
The continent had gone through several eras, from the primeval era to the Immortal era, to the Emperor era, and then to the Final Martial Era. Then, it went to the Technological Era, the Starfall Era, the Doomsday Era, the Recovery Era, and finally to the Star Warrior Era.
It wasn't easy for ordinary people to survive in this world.
In any era in the Astral Souls Continent, there was one thing that was the same: ordinary people with no aptitude or poor aptitude always made up the majority. And his son was one of these millions of ordinary people ….
In this life, in this era of martial arts, it was destined that it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself!
Zuo Xiaonian's Astral Souls Awakened when she was three years old. The Astral Souls soared into the sky and filled the sky. From head to toe, her star veins were as dense as an inescapable net, almost condensing into a whole body!
It was the extremely rare Body of the Nine-Nine Astral Souls. She was only one step away from the complete body of the Innate Astral Souls.
As for her son, Zuo Xiaoduo … he only awakened his Astral Souls at the age of eight. The Astral Souls in his dantian were just a weak little flame, weak and powerless.
It was better not to have them at all.
If he didn't have them at all, he wouldn't have any hope of becoming an expert in his life and would just be an ordinary person with peace of mind. However, with the Astral Souls in his body, it meant that he could become a martial artist. And to become a martial artist, he would have to bear the responsibilities of a martial artist.
The responsibilities of a martial artist were equivalent to life and death.
Above Martial Disciple was Martial Warrior, above Martial Warrior was Martial Master, above Martial Master was Innate, above Innate was Embryonic Breathing, above Embryonic Breathing, above Embryonic Breathing was Inner Core …
The Inner Core Realm could already be called Grandmaster.
As for the higher realms, there was no need to talk about them.
However, Zuo Xiaonian was about to break through to the Inner Core Realm. With her son's aptitude, he probably wouldn't be able to climb up even after three hundred years … right?
"Walking the martial arts … it's really impossible for you." Wu Yuting looked at her son and sighed, "Xiao Duo, actually, being an ordinary person would be more stable."
Zuo Xiaoduo squinted his eyes and laughed, "Mother, even if I can't walk the normal path, it doesn't mean that I have to despair. I can still walk the unorthodox path."
Wu Yuting snorted and glared at her son, "What are you talking about? If you dare to walk the unorthodox path, not only will the law not tolerate it, but I will also not let you go. Believe it or not, I will beat you to a pulp! "
Zuo Xiaoduo shrunk his neck and kept quiet out of fear. He disagreed in his heart, "In such a glorious era, how can I live a mediocre life?"
"Mother, I just lack some money …" Zuo Xiaoduo made one last effort.
"Get lost! I don't have it! "
Wu Yuting was fuming with anger.
She had just spent one million on elixirs. Although she didn't know where her husband got it from, Wu Yuting knew that although her family was not bad, she still couldn't take out one million.
Now that she had such a huge burden, her son was still so insensible and wanted to spend money recklessly! He wanted to spend a few thousand just to have a dream!
How preposterous!
He deserved to be beaten!
Not to mention that she didn't have it, even if she did, she wouldn't give it to him!
She really couldn't understand. This kid was so young, but he had such a deep obsession and desire for money from a young age?! After so many years of giving him pocket money and New Year's money, he didn't spend a single cent …
He was a living example of a miser who was greedy for money to a certain extent …
He really wasn't as open-minded as her husband …
Not only was he greedy for money, but he was also shameless …
"Did I really give birth to this?"
Wu Yuting thought about Zuo Xiaoduo's character and sighed. She looked down at her stomach and couldn't understand.
"You didn't inherit any of your father's and my good character genes, but you didn't let go of any of our shortcomings and accepted them all …"
…
Wu Yuting also went out.
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed and was about to go back to his room to think of a solution when his vision suddenly turned black. He only felt a familiar dizziness and couldn't see anything. His body was floating in the air and moving rapidly …
Zuo Xiaoduo screamed and yelled, "Zuo Xiaonian!!"
Ever since Zuo Xiaonian had a breakthrough and gained the ability to control objects, she would capture Zuo Xiaoduo every day. As long as his parents weren't at home, Zuo Xiaoduo would often be captured and floated in the air.
It was unbearable.
Who would have such an elder sister?
She still wants me to marry her?! This was simply … Haha.
Didn't they say that you should beat your younger brother early?
Zuo Xiaoduo felt that Zuo Xiaonian didn't need to beat him early at all … because she could keep hitting him …
With a whoosh, his eyes lit up.
He saw Zuo Xiaonian's smiling face appear in front of him. She said proudly, "Does it feel good?"
"…" Zuo Xiaoduo was still feeling dizzy. He stood on the ground and swayed back and forth. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just you wait. If my cultivation exceeds yours …"
"Surpass me? What do you want to do?!" Zuo Xiaonian took a step forward, puffed out her chest, and asked arrogantly.
"… I, I don't want to do anything." Zuo Xiaoduo shamefully cowered.
Zuo Xiaonian had already moved forward. She reached out and pinched Zuo Xiaoduo's cheek. She asked fiercely, "Tell me, what do you want money for?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch …" Zuo Xiaoduo couldn't resist Zuo Xiaonian's grip. He sucked in cold air and said angrily, "Let go! I want money … Of course I need money! "
Zuo Xiaonian moved closer to him and carefully observed him for a long time. They were so close that Zuo Xiaoduo could even feel the temperature of Zuo Xiaonian's breath and the sweetness in her mouth.
He couldn't help but feel dizzy. He said angrily, "You told me not to think about it. Don't mess with me."
"Hmph … Who cares." After a long time, Zuo Xiaonian released him. She turned her hand and a red pill appeared. She snorted and said, "Eat this and I'll give you money."
"Sigh … I told you it's useless …" Zuo Xiaoduo took it and threw it into his mouth without looking.
It was a low-quality Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Ever since Zuo Xiaonian made a name for herself, she was beautiful and talented. She had so many suitors that they could circle around Phoenix City three times. It was even more common for her to get all kinds of low-quality pills.
However, everyone knew that Zuo Xiaonian was only interested in pills that could improve the abilities of Astral Souls. She didn't care about anything else.
Although they didn't know why, her suitors all catered to her interests. Especially pills like these, they were cheap.
They didn't know that all the pills that Zuo Xiaonian got were fed into Zuo Xiaoduo's stomach.
Zuo Xiaoduo had eaten no less than twenty of these Marrow Cleansing Pills …
"Did you pick them up again this time?" Zuo Xiaoduo asked as he swallowed.
"Of course." Zuo Xiaonian blinked and showed a playful expression. "Someone walked in front of me and dropped a bottle of pills. I couldn't call him back no matter how hard I tried … So I had to take them back."
"…" Zuo Xiaoduo was speechless.
"Sister, you're so lucky." Zuo Xiaoduo rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Poor me. I haven't even picked up a coin since I was young. You can pick up anything. I'm impressed."
Since she was thirteen or fifteen years old, Zuo Xiaonian had picked up this kind of pill countless times. Astral Souls Pill, Star Transformation Pill, Spirit Awakening Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill …
They were all pills that laid the foundation, awakened the Astral Souls, strengthened the Astral Souls, and assisted the Astral Souls …
"Your suitors must have deliberately thrown them on the ground … Wouldn't you owe them a favor if you took them?" Zuo Xiaoduo sighed.
"What favor?"
Zuo Xiaonian widened her eyes. "I picked them up by luck."
Zuo Xiaoduo was speechless. "If they didn't want to pursue you, why would they deliberately throw them in front of you and let you pick them up? Who doesn't know that you want them? "
She wrinkled her nose and snorted. "They dared to throw them away, so I dared to pick them up. What does this have to do with pursuing me? Do you think that I should accept someone's pursuit just because I picked up his pills? What kind of ridiculous logic is this? "
Zuo Xiao Duo looked at the beautiful woman whose face was as thick as a city wall and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If her suitors knew that their goddess, who was perfect, gentle, and virtuous in their eyes, was so shameless, wouldn't their worldview be destroyed?
"Then why didn't you pick up the other pills? The other pills are more expensive. "
"Why would I pick them up if they're useless to you?" Zuo Xiaonian said righteously.
Zuo Xiaoduo was speechless.
You're beautiful, so you have the final say!
I'm speechless, okay?
After a long time, he felt that the medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill had dissolved in his body. It only warmed up slightly and disappeared as usual. Zuo Xiaoduo sighed. "Don't pick them up anymore. I've eaten a whole car full of the pills you picked up these past few years. They're really useless. Don't … "
Before she could finish, Zuo Xiaonian sneered. "Aiya, you've really grown up. You're trying to control your sister now?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was defeated instantly.
He had no choice. His status in the family was too low, and his strength was too weak. No matter who it was, they could beat him. Especially Zuo Xiaonian. Now, Zuo Xiaonian could beat a master like him like a child …
Last time, he annoyed her. She threw him a hundred meters high and threw him seven or eight times. He was almost scared out of his wits … Violent woman!
Chewing the pill given by Zuo Xiaonian in his mouth, Zuo Xiaoduo felt a little complicated.
Over the years, his parents had become more and more affectionate to him. They were more lenient towards Zuo Xiaonian. Regarding this, Zuo Xiaoduo always said that they were biased, but he knew in his heart.
In fact, his parents were biased towards him.
As the book said, the most important thing for a family was to be comfortable and casual. The more casual they were with each other, the more family they were. There was a saying that said, "Good temper is given to outsiders, bad temper is given to family members."
Why? It wasn't because he was dissatisfied with his family. It was because his family could really tolerate his bad temper.
People had to vent their negative emotions, but who else could let him vent?
Zuo Xiaonian had also been worried sick about him all these years. In order to let him cultivate and change his aptitude, Zuo Xiaonian had put in a lot of effort.
Zuo Xiaoduo had always known.
But he didn't say it.
He didn't need to say it to his family.
However, if something happened to his sister, Zuo Xiaoduo was sure that he would definitely be the one who risked his life to save her!
"How much do you want?"
Hearing Zuo Xiaonian's words, Zuo Xiaoduo's spirit was lifted. "I don't want a lot …"
"Is ten thousand enough?" Zuo Xiaonian touched her white jade ring, and a thick stack of cash appeared.
"Enough! Enough! "Zuo Xiaoduo was overjoyed. His eyes instantly shone with a bright light.
Money!
With this money, he could smoothly …
"Hmph … This is my entire year's salary and bonus …" Zuo Xiaonian rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she put the cash behind her back and puffed out her chest.
Zuo Xiaoduo, who was about to take the money, almost pressed his paw on Zuo Xiaonian. He quickly withdrew his hand and growled, "Zuo Xiaonian! What are you doing!! "
Zuo Xiaonian smiled, tilted her head and asked, "Am I pretty?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said angrily, "Pretty! Pretty! Is that enough? "
In the room, Zuo Xiaonian's laughter was heard. Then, a big bundle of cash was thrown out. "Take it! Hmph! "
"Also, don't let my parents know about this money."
