Chapter 1, Zuo Xiaoduo, Zuo Xiaonian

I have to infer whether I am about to be beaten based on what name I am called... I am having a really hard time

In this world, who is not someone else's toy

Zuo Xiaonian chuckled softly, and with that smile, she added a touch of youthful charm to herself, instantly becoming more lively. She rolled her eyes and said, "What can you do if I call you a dog? Woof! Little puppy! Haha..."

Zuo Changlu sternly said: "If I let you take it, then take it! What are you nagging about?! Is it your concern to worry about the money at home?"

One hundred percent is nothing but helplessness

Mother, you all take a rest, I will take care of everything!

However, in a slow and deliberate manner, it was stated in an undeniable tone: "Such words need not be spoken again in the future"

... ...

Zuo Xiaoduo roared angrily in the kitchen: "Do not call me a dog!"

Zuo Xiaoduo felt that his heart at that time was like the series of ellipses above

Mom! I have important matters to attend to! I truly have important matters!

No particular reason! Changing the name is simply not acceptable!

Money... you are the eternal grievance in my heart...

Is Xiao Nian not back yet

Zuo Xiaoduo also trembled all over, his eyes shining with excitement as he looked. Inside the box lay a pill, one side pure black, emitting a faint glow, and the other side pure white, radiating a soft white light; the pill remained still in the box, yet the contrasting black and white colors seemed to flow naturally, continuously rotating.

Not impressive at all

It should be particularly noted that Xiaoduo's father possesses a demeanor that is both cultured and refined, elegant and poised, as well as handsome and tall, resembling a strikingly attractive man in a chaotic world. Aside from being somewhat lazy, he has no flaws whatsoever

Wu Yuting squinted her eyes, enjoying her son's massage, and comfortably said: "Want money? There isn't any! I tell you, Zuo Xiaoduo, your pocket money for this month has already been spent in advance. If you want to make any plans with me, you might as well give up on that idea."

The conversation that night ends here

Hehe

Do not even think about asking your father for it

Zuo Changlu's indifferent expression was completely withdrawn

At that time, my father let out a hum, rolled his eyes, and said lightly: "Because of your birth, there is something slightly superfluous for me and your mother."

Zuo Xiaoduo was utterly despondent, feeling in that moment as if life held no appeal. He pleaded:

... ...

It is specifically used by Zuo Xiaonian to break through the boundary between Yin and Yang at this critical juncture of life and death. Generally, it is common for martial artists to exhaust themselves completely when attempting to break through the Yin-Yang boundary. With this pill, it is equivalent to having an additional life.

Her tall and slender figure, standing at about 1.7 meters, is slightly thin yet perfectly proportioned. With soft, flowing long hair and a serene face, her pair of beautiful eyes resemble two small, crystal-clear ponds. She embodies the purity of a water lily, untouched by the mundane world

Zuo Xiaoduo believes that this is largely due to his own big heart

... ...

It is indeed Zuo Xiaoduo's father, Zuo Changlu

Is there any way to trick my mom into giving me some money? No, I mean to coax her into giving me some money? I don't need much, just three thousand, no, two thousand would be fine, if that's not possible, then one thousand five... that would work too!

He felt that perhaps he was just too open-minded, as he did not take such a serious blow to heart and managed to get through it without a care. Moreover, the most astonishing thing was that even before that night had passed, he had already come to terms with it—no, to be precise, he had found peace even before that night was over

Wu Yuting walked out while wiping her hands, exclaiming in surprise: "Did you find it? How much did it cost?"

Still as youthful and radiant as ever

Moreover, that day...

The aroma of vegetables fills the living room

Zuo Xiaonian fell silent for a moment and said: "Father, if I can successfully break through to the Dan Yuan this time, I will be content and do not wish to pursue further... This path is truly exhausting! I feel like I cannot bear it... After this breakthrough, when Xiao Duo turns twenty, I wish to marry Xiao Duo then..."

Zuo Xiaoduo was ladling soup in the kitchen, listening intently, with her lips pouting: She bought a gift for her sister again, I wonder if there is one for me... If there is one for me, I will convert it into money...

Three hundred per month is simply not enough

Zuo Xiaoduo has lived under the shadow of his mother for seventeen years. He has now developed a reflexive response to stand at attention at the sound of his mother's explosive shouts

Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly bounced up from the bed with a fawning expression: "I heard it, I heard it. I was just about to go and help you with the work, mother... I'm coming, I'm coming..."

Whose family rejoices in the inheritance of bloodlines? Especially since I am still a male. Why do I become superfluous when it comes to the two of you?

For example, if she is now calling the puppy "Puppy Da" or "Dog Da," it indicates that she is in a good mood. Since she is happy, she is unlikely to get angry easily, so it does not matter if I do not agree with her.

The way one addresses their parents serves as a barometer for their own feelings and sentiments towards them

How is a mother trained? No matter how fast one is, as long as one passes by her, as long as she wants to twist one's ear, it has never missed!

What kind of name is this?

However, only Zuo Xiaoduo himself knows how terrifying and fearsome this seemingly gentle and virtuous wife and mother appears to outsiders is when it comes to her own biological son

"Don't even think about asking your sister Xiao Nian for it! I will remind them, who dares to give you money, just try it? Three hundred Star Yuan coins for pocket money each month, that could support an entire family for a month elsewhere. And you, last month you already advanced this month's allowance. Zuo Xiaoduo, you tell me, how much has our family spent for your strange dreams? How many times have we accompanied you in this? Do you still want to continue this?" Zuo Xiaoduo, you tell me, how much has our family spent for your strange dreams? How many times have we accompanied you in this? Do you still want to continue this?

Zuo Xiaonian's beautiful face revealed a hint of anxiety: "I really have confidence, there's no need for this."

When feeling down, especially when I have provoked them, little bastard, little scoundrel, little brat, little coward, little rascal, little debt collector, little heartless one... there is no shortage of such terms

At the entrance, this beautiful woman, who is tall and slender with an exquisite appearance, can be described as a stunning beauty and appears to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, is none other than Zuo Xiaoduo's mother

Moreover, the name is entirely dependent on the mood of the parents

"Go help me out?" My mother's face was filled with doubt: "Dog, are you really this filial?"

Moreover, it is referred to by various local dialects.

Dog!

Zuo Xiaoduo actually finds it somewhat incomprehensible that after all these years, there are not even a trace left on the face of his esteemed mother.

Zuo Xiaoduo fell silent like a cicada in winter ... He hurriedly tucked his tail and followed along

Father had a bit too much to drink and, feeling quite cheerful, Little Duo boldly asked: Why is my name Little Duo? Can I have a more pleasant name instead

"A meager amount of money." Zuo Changlu smiled and said, "You need not worry about it."

Zuo Xiaoduo was taken aback

Father looked at me with a sidelong glance, his expression filled with disdain, and said emphatically: "No!"

When in a neutral mood, calling Xiao Duo is generally quite serious

Do you all resent my birth for disrupting your world of two?

At that moment, Zuo Xiaoduo asked with tears in his eyes: "Do you all really despise me this much?"

Such movements and postures of the girl can only be seen at home; outsiders will never be able to witness them

But in reality

Zuo Xiaoduo immediately stopped, with a crying tone said: "You are truly my biological mother... so amazing, I haven't even opened my mouth yet..."

Wu Yuting scoffed: "As a seventeen-year-old who is still wandering as a junior martial artist, and has been wandering as a junior martial artist for five years... and as someone who can sleep fourteen hours a day while being a junior martial artist for five years... what serious matters could there possibly be?"

"What brings happiness?" A tranquil voice quietly emerged, followed by a soft sound at the door, as if someone was changing their slippers; soon after, a young girl dressed in a long blue dress walked in

I may not be able to come up with other money, but for my daughter's life, I will find a way to gather it no matter what

Of course, the old gentleman at home is the same; he looks to be around twenty-six, seven, eight, or nine; in any case, he is definitely not over thirty years old. With a graceful demeanor and refined elegance, he instantly evokes a sense of goodwill, leading one to assume he is some kind of cultured scholar or learned individual.

However, one's own name is...

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Zuo Xiaoduo tilted his head, his face contorted: "Mom! Your favoritism is too obvious! I am also your son! Your biological son!"

Did I really spend so many years in that world as a con artist ...? ... Uh, a fortune teller?

Mother is beside me, speaking with conviction: Isn't having a child just for fun? Just like the cat raised by Aunt Li and the dog raised by Aunt Wang; no matter what it is, one must raise something for enjoyment, right

... ...

... ...

When you were around eight or nine years old, your mother jokingly said that it would be wonderful for you to marry Xiao Duo and that the family would never be separated... That was just a momentary jest from your mother, yet you have held onto it until now

one million

For example, there is a classmate named Zhao Jianghu! How magnificent! There is also one named Li Changtian; it sounds impressive!

The family has lived comfortably for a lifetime... The old man just... spent...

When in a good mood, there are doggies, little puppies, little kittens, little meows, little eggs, little kisses... Just call out whatever comes to mind

With a simple reach, one can grasp and even turn it around in a circle

Central Plains, Phoenix City

The randomly given name of "Doggy" is somewhat acceptable. However, the problem is that Zuo Xiaoduo is also extremely dissatisfied with his current name.

During the meal, Zuo Xiaoduo finally understood what true favoritism meant

He also does not dare to be angry

Zuo Xiaonian let out a sound of acknowledgment, took the box and opened it. Suddenly, she gasped in surprise, covering her small mouth, her eyes filled with incredulous shock: "The Life Essence Pill?! Father, this... this..."

Suddenly, I heard my father and mother simultaneously exclaim in a cold voice: "Nonsense!"

Ah, I am just a toy... a toy, just a toy

Left Xiaoduo could never understand his mother's technique of twisting ears

A kind father ... ! ... actually cannot be considered very kind, or rather, it is more appropriate to say he is indifferent and heartless; but a strict mother, that is truly strict!

You two have given birth to a toy

However, can we change the name

Zuo Xiaonian instinctively straightened her posture and respectfully said: "There should be no problem. When the time comes, I will break through in the Martial Academy's Star Power Room. The star power is abundant, and I have prepared quite a few spiritual herbs, as well as several spare inner cores of star beasts. Moreover, the place is heavily guarded, with the instructors of the martial school diligently protecting it, and my master and a few others will be there to safeguard me. There will be no issues."

Under the Dan Yuan period, a warrior who consumes one pill will instantly replenish all their life energy! Therefore, there has always been a saying: "One pill, one life"

When the vast majority of people see Zuo Mu for the first time, it is inevitable that they will feel admiration and their thoughts will wander. The beauty before them appears so gentle and virtuous, surely she is the legendary good-tempered, outstanding woman, the ideal wife and mother.

However, Zuo Xiaoduo's mood was quite unpleasant

Zuo Changlu routinely asked a question, but in his heart, he understood that his daughter returned home about fifteen minutes later than he did every day. Everyone had a particularly accurate sense of time, and there would generally be no mistakes. If this time was missed, she would basically not return for dinner

Tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, he is handsome and elegant, his black hair as dark as ink; his well-fitted attire further accentuates his graceful figure; polished black shoes and a composed, gentle expression complete his appearance

While picking vegetables, Zuo Xiaoduo sighed repeatedly, his eyes darting around restlessly

Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs: Money?!

Zuo Xiaoduo rushed out holding a rice spoon, only to be grabbed by Wu Yuting who twisted his ear: "Are you trying to rebel!"

Wu Yuting rolled her eyes, surprisingly exuding a youthful girl vibe, and pouted, saying: "You came out of my belly, how could I not know what you want?"

Empire of Fiery Might

Isn't this still considered favoritism? ... Zuo Xiaoduo tilted his head, watching Zuo Xiaonian making a gesture of twisting her ear towards him, and then made a funny face

It is indeed Zuo Xiaoduo's sister, Zuo Xiaonian

Saying this, he sat down at the dining table with a smile and said: "Ting'er, I found that thing for Xiao Nian."

Zuo Xiaonian's eyes reddened, her delicate fingers grasping the Life Essence Pill, trembling slightly. After a long while, she spoke softly: "Yes. My daughter was wrong."

As her expression gradually calmed, Zuo Xiaonian held the box in her hand and softly asked, "This one Life Source Pill costs one million. Father, where did you get so much money? Moreover, even if one has the money, this item is still priceless in the market. It has already been speculated to five million in the black market, and a large number of people are waiting. How did you obtain it? If the cost is too high, we should not proceed."

... ...

At the door, a creaking sound was heard, and a voice said: "It smells so good! It seems I need to have a drink today." Immediately, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in.

Wu Yuting snorted coldly and turned to leave: "Come help me pick the vegetables quickly, your dad and your little sister Nian are coming back soon... After your dad finishes eating, he will take a nap, and your little sister Nian will meditate and cultivate, preparing to break through to the Yin-Yang realm... It is crucial to rest well at this juncture... Hurry up, if you dawdle any longer, I will break your dog legs!"

Why?

Zuo Xiaoduo, with tears in her eyes, clutched her heart and said: "Mom, I feel like I have been deeply hurt..."

Father has returned home early. Zuo Xiaonian's serene face warmed up as she peeked around, asking: "Is the dog not at home?"

In most families, there is typically a strict father and a kind mother; however, in the family of Zuo Xiaoduo, the roles are exactly reversed: a strict mother and a kind father

Dad said slowly: "At first, I was quite disdainful, but later your mother discovered that ever since you came along, she actually had an entertaining toy... She found that having a child is quite fun, so as time went on... gradually, I also became less disdainful..."

was so shocked that I could not speak

Yes, that's right, the one who is calling out is my own mother. How dare she get angry

Because the name 'Little Dog Da' is what he is called. Anyone referred to as Little Dog Da would probably not feel pleased

Am I really that superfluous

This young girl seems to possess an innate aura that brings a sense of calm and tranquility to all who behold her. In the presence of such extraordinary beauty, one cannot even entertain thoughts of disrespect, but can only appreciate her purity and grace

Fengwu Jiayuan Community

The road known as Zuo Chang Road, which claims to stretch long beneath one's feet

Zuo Xiaoduo jumped up eagerly, attentively massaging his mother's shoulders: "Oh dear, Mother works so hard every day, it pains my heart to see it. Let me give you a massage..."

Upon hearing these two words, Zuo Xiaoduo was struck hard, leading him to fall into a state of self-isolation

Shut up

The voice is exceedingly stern

Anyone who catches a glimpse of this young girl will inevitably feel a sense of: this girl is so clean, so pure! Only then will they be suddenly filled with astonishment in their hearts

... ...

Biological mother

He does not know how many names he has already possessed

A little excess = a little more

one million Star Coins

That gentle and virtuous beautiful face, once it becomes stern, makes Zuo Xiaoduo feel a sharp pain in his backside—because accompanying it is undoubtedly a delicious stir-fry of bamboo shoots and meat

Zuo Xiaoduo lay on the bed, silently sighing

Woof! A crisp sound.

Wu Yuting let out a cold snort

Xiao Nian, Zuo Changlu said lightly while eating: "How is the grasp on this impact on the Yin-Yang realm?"

Mother let out a heavy sigh: "Two!"

... ...

Why is it called Xiaoduo, can it always speak?

To truly experiment, to see for oneself whether this strange dream is real, and whether that world truly exists

Do you still have a heart

Zuo Xiaonian, with tears in her eyes, said: "Dad!"

Qingshui District

The subordinates show no mercy whatsoever

Dad took a sip of wine, leisurely...

Is this really a dream

But now, Zuo Xiaoduo cannot be angry

The sound of the little dog came again, pulling out a long tone, and it was somewhat cheerful, indicating that the owner of the sound was very pleased at that moment

... ...

Toys

Zuo Xiaoduo appeared as if he had lost his parents

It is indeed the sacred medicine of warriors, the Life Essence Pill

He set down his chopsticks, straightened his body, and said solemnly: "You, Zuo Xiaonian, are my daughter. Although you are not my biological child, your mother and I have raised you since you were in swaddling clothes, and there is no difference from a biological child."

A loud roar erupted at the door as my mother forcefully pushed it open: "Did you not hear me?! Are you deaf?"

Zuo Changlu made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "As long as you are aware in your heart, that is enough." As he spoke, he took out a small, exquisite box from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it forward, saying, "Take it. If you can use it, do not be stingy; if you cannot use it, just keep it for yourself."

Zuo Xiaoduo is sometimes quite strange; his parents are so knowledgeable, being well-versed in dialects from the south to the north and from the east to the west, and they specifically use this knowledge to scold him

Eccentricity? Hmph, you must have some misunderstanding about eccentricity

Noon

I am left speechless

Zuo Xiaoduo was downcast.

The voice of Zuo Changlu gradually slowed down: "This is right! Xiao Nian, your future is bright and promising. After the Yin-Yang realm, you will enter the Dan Yuan stage, followed by various major realms... I and your mother cannot help you too much, but after all, you are my daughter. We will assist you to the extent of our ability. When we truly cannot help anymore, you must walk your own path. Until then, do not worry too much. Do you understand?"... I and your mother cannot help you too much, but after all, you are my daughter. We will assist you to the extent of our ability. When we truly cannot help anymore, you must walk your own path. Until then, do not worry too much. Do you understand?"

Since the time I can remember, from the mouths of my mother and father, I have known my name to be as numerous as the sands of the vast Yangtze River and the stars in the endless galaxy

... ...

Little Duo

What you said makes a lot of sense

Star Soul Continent

You are our daughter! You are not a child bride of our family!

Zuo Xiaoduo stared in shock with wide eyes

Zuo Xiaoduo felt that he no longer had any interest in pursuing anything else, and with a heart deeply wounded, he returned to his room

Zuo Changlu smiled faintly and said: "Take it!"

"Alright." Wu Yuting smiled gently, "That works, I don't know how happy Xiao Nian will be when she returns."

... ...

Zuo Xiaoduo, with a dazed expression as he recalled the dream, slowly focused his scattered gaze, and then, feeling dejected, covered his head with the blanket
