Hu Li was a girl who loved cleanliness and had a slight obsession with cleanliness.
Therefore, she could not tolerate any kind of filth or impurity.
Under Hu Li's patient washing, the rust on the little puppet's body was quickly removed, revealing the true appearance of the little puppet under the rust.
Upon closer inspection, the puppet really did look like a boiled egg.
If placed horizontally on the ground, it would be about one meter tall. If it was placed upright, it would be about one and a half meters tall.
Two pieces of eggshell wrapped around the body of the egg, and below it were three extremely heavy metal balls. When combined together, they formed the little puppet.
Upon closer inspection, the eggshell and body of the egg were metallic in color, and there were no patterns on the surface.
Upon closer inspection, the metallic eggshell and body of the egg were actually densely packed with hair-like patterns. They were so fine that even Chu Xingyun could not help but gasp in amazement when he saw them.
It was obvious that although the little puppet was not very useful, it was definitely refined by an almighty person from the Primordial Era.
No matter what, an ordinary cultivator would not be able to refine such an intricate puppet.
Rumble …
After washing, the little puppet did not pay any attention to Hu Li. Instead, it followed behind Chu Xingyun and rolled around like a little shadow.
Seeing this scene, Hu Li was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. However, the little puppet did not pay any attention to her. This made Hu Li feel very defeated, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing Hu Li's defeated look, Chu Xingyun could not help but chuckle.
After watching Hu Li turn around and leave, Chu Xingyun chuckled. He gently grabbed a handful of spirit bones and casually threw them to the little puppet …
Seeing Chu Xingyun throw a handful of spirit bones, the little puppet's eyes lit up. The two pieces of eggshell suddenly opened and swallowed the spirit bones in one gulp, chewing them happily.
Obviously, the little puppet was not very intelligent. It was like a three-year-old child.
It did not care who bathed it.
He would treat anyone who gave him good food.
To put it simply, the one with milk is the mother!
Although Hu Li had sacrificed a lot and was very patient with the little puppet, it was a pity that the little puppet didn't care about it the most.
Chu Xingyun gently extended his hand and stroked the delicate and smooth eggshell of the little puppet. "What's your name? How should I address you?"
Beep beep … beep beep …
In the face of Chu Xingyun's question, the little puppet shook its head blankly. Clearly … it didn't have a name, and no one had given it a name.
Looking at the little puppet's blank expression, Chu Xingyun tilted his head and said, "Since you don't have a name, let me give you one."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the little puppet was taken aback at first, but then it nodded cheerfully with a look of joy on its face.
Chu Xingyun tilted his head when he saw the little puppet's excited expression. "You look like an egg cast from pig iron. Since that's the case … I'll call you Bruiser!"
Bruiser!
The little puppet was stunned when it heard Chu Xingyun's words. Its eyes were filled with disbelief.
Clatter … Clatter …
With a soft sound, the three iron balls under the little puppet rolled away. The little puppet's egg-shaped body fell to the ground with a clatter, and two pieces of eggshell fell to the ground.
It was obvious that the little puppet hadn't really died. It was just using its body language to express its shock and dissatisfaction.
Chu Xingyun scratched his head when he saw the little puppet's exaggerated expression. "Just say it if you don't like it. It's not like I have to call you Bruiser. How about …"
Chu Xingyun tilted his head and looked at the little puppet scattered on the ground. "If you don't like being called Bruiser, how about being called Steel Egg? That's much sturdier! "
The little puppet twitched slightly when it heard Chu Xingyun's words. However, it continued to scatter on the ground, completely ignoring Chu Xingyun.
The smile on Chu Xingyun's face became even wider as he said, "You're still not satisfied with this? Call it Silver Egg then. This is very expensive. Although it can't be compared to Golden Egg, you aren't golden either. "
Rumble …
When it heard Chu Xingyun's words, the little puppet's body rolled towards the door.
At the same time, the two pieces of eggshell and the three iron balls also rolled away silently, as if they were planning to sneak away.
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but roar with laughter when he saw this.
Chu Xingyun had been living a very stifling life for the past three years. He had lived a mechanical life every day, and his entire body had been numb.
When he finally managed to relax, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but tease the cute little puppet.
When he saw that the little puppet was about to sneak out, Chu Xingyun finally said, "If you don't want to be called an egg, then you can be called a pearl. A pearl is also round."
After a pause, Chu Xingyun continued, "Zhu 'er, Zhu' zhu, Ling Zhu …"
Whoosh …
When it heard Chu Xingyun's words, the little puppet scattered all over the ground trembled violently and quickly gathered together.
It rolled in front of Chu Xingyun and used its round body to rub against Chu Xingyun's trousers. It was very clear … that one of the three names just now had caught its eye.
Chu Xingyun looked at the little puppet hesitantly and said, "Which of the three names do you like? Is it Zhu 'er?"
In response to Chu Xingyun's question, the little puppet shook its head vigorously. It was obvious that … it didn't want to be called that name.
Chu Xingyun frowned and continued, "Is it Zhu 'zhu?"
When Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the little puppet shook its head again. It was obvious that … it didn't like that name either.
Chu Xingyun nodded in understanding and said, "In that case, you still like the name Ling Zhu!"
Ka ba ka ba …
When Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the little puppet immediately nodded happily. It was obvious that … it wanted to be called that name.
Chu Xingyun nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, since you like this name, I won't force you."
Chu Xingyun rubbed the little puppet's head lovingly and said, "From now on, your name is Ling Zhu!"
Beep beep beep beep …
When it heard Chu Xingyun's words, the little puppet let out a cheerful cry and revolved around Chu Xingyun happily. It was simply overjoyed.
Chu Xingyun was also full of smiles when he saw the little puppet's joyful appearance.
In the next moment, Chu Xingyun's smile suddenly disappeared and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, since you are so satisfied, it's settled. Your name will be Ling Zhu and your nickname will be Tie Dan. It's settled then!"
Beep beep …
It suddenly let out two cries. It was obvious that … Chu Xingyun's sudden words had stunned the little puppet.
Damn Tie Dan. It really didn't want to be called that at all.
In fact, it was indeed Tie Dan. It was an egg made of iron, not just in name but in reality.
However, being called Tie Dan was too lame and unsophisticated. It didn't want to be called that.
Clack clack clack clack …
