(There is a picture in the upper right corner)
It smelled like home.
His " wife " was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Ding, ding, ding. The sounds of pots and pans could be heard.
The TV was on in the living room, and the latest entertainment variety show was playing.
Her " daughter " sat cross-legged, watching the boring TV while waiting for a sumptuous dinner.
And as a 'father'.
Shao Xuanlong naturally sat casually on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette.
This was the taste of home.
It wasn't that complicated.
It was casual and free.
The sounds of pots and pans, stir-fried vegetables, and television laughter could actually fuse together very well.
……
"Hello,"
Yang Duo 'er frowned, raised her little foot, and kicked Shao Xuanlong.
Shao Xuanlong glanced at her. On her small feet was a pair of pink socks that reached her ankles.
"Are you dirty?" Shao Xuanlong frowned and said in disdain.”
Yang Duo 'er glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and snorted coldly.""Don't worry, I'm cleaner than you."
"Hey, this child, how can you talk to Daddy like that?”
"Puff!"
Yang Duo 'er immediately broke through and laughed in anger. She scolded in a low voice,""Don't call me that again. You're not my father.”
"You're a little arrogant because there's no bomb, right?" Shao Xuanlong said.”
"Do you believe that I'll find a chance to tie a bomb to your ankle while you're asleep? When the time comes, even your socks will explode.”
"Humph!" Yang Duo 'er snorted and turned her head away without saying anything.
To be honest, she believed him.
This bastard was playing with Ying 'er. What couldn't he do?
Don't look at his harmless face.
If they really provoked him, they would definitely die without knowing how.
Du Shichao…
If Du Shichao hadn't gotten into a car accident himself, he would have died.
The murderer was still him.
He was directly dragged into the water and could only be slaughtered in the future.
Just thinking about it made him afraid.
Also, if it weren't for his identity, or if there were four seats in the car at that time, he would have been killed.
Then he would definitely have died with Du Shichao.
However, to be honest, this man treated her quite well.
Especially now that he was with his mother, he shouldn't treat her so badly, right?
She wasn't sure.
However, Yang Duo 'er's nature had a hidden rebellious and evil nature.
Therefore, she was still afraid.
However, she was more inclined to such a man. She felt that only such a man was a man.
Those who were indecisive and honest did not count at all.
Anyway, Yang Duo 'er was not interested at all.
……
"That…Hey, I'm talking to you.”
The two of them continued watching TV.
After a while, Yang Duo 'er suddenly stretched out her leg again and kicked Shao Xuanlong.
This time, Shao Xuanlong reacted quickly.
She caught him.
Then, he scratched the soles of his feet.
"Aiya, ha? Hahaha…Don't, don't mess around, don't…"
That time, he was no longer as cold and arrogant as usual.
She was so amused that she giggled.
He dodged back and forth.
Her nightgown, which was originally knee-length, was now unconsciously moving up…
A sea of fans!
It seemed to be a matching color with the socks.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare…"
"Call me daddy."
"Daddy, daddy, I was wrong."
In any case, he had shouted it before.
This time, it was even easier.
He didn't have much of a bottom line.
Shao Xuanlong was reluctant to part with her…Pfft, he let go of her in disgust.
Shao Xuanlong said seriously," Don't be so rude. It's already a big taboo to address your elders as 'hey.' Yet, you still used your stinky foot to kick them. You only touched me. If it was someone more ruthless, they would have chopped off their feet. Do you believe me?”
Yang Duo 'er laughed so hard that tears welled up in her eyes.
He rolled his eyes fiercely, retracted his legs, and said angrily,""How can there be so many lunatics? Do you think it's that butcher who doesn't bring an umbrella on a rainy night?”
"Eh?"
Shao Xuanlong was surprised.
Little girl, something's wrong!
"Besides, what smelly feet? It smells good, okay?"
"Heh." Shao Xuanlong snorted disdainfully.
"What's with your expression? If you believe me, smell it…"
Just as he reached out.
The kitchen door opened and a figure walked out.
At the same time, Lin Xiyue said,""Can you eat spicy food…Duo Er, what are you doing?”
She happened to see Yang Duo 'er stretching her leg as if she was going to kick Shao Xuanlong's head.
Lin Xiyue glared at him angrily.
"Ugh!"
Yang Duo 'er suddenly retracted her body and sat upright. She smiled awkwardly.
Shao Xuanlong did not go so far as to make things difficult for a little girl. He took the initiative to help her clarify.
"It's fine, it's fine. The child was just playing with me.”
"Joking? Was there such a joke? Yang Duo 'er, do you still have any manners? Is this how I usually teach you?" Lin Xiyue reprimanded.
Shao Xuanlong protected her and said," Alright, alright. Hurry up and cook. This girl is actually quite obedient. She just likes to make a fuss. However, it's very normal for children of her age.”
Lin Xiyue said," If it wasn't for her speaking up for you, you'd see how I'd deal with you. Grandiose Dragon, don't be polite. If this girl continues to cause trouble, help me beat her up."”
"I know." Shao Xuanlong nodded.”
"By the way, can you eat spicy food?"
"I don't mind cold or hot." Shao Xuanlong revealed his true nature.
"Alright then." Lin Xiyue went back to the kitchen and closed the door to prevent the smoke.
Yang Duo 'er pouted and looked at Shao Xuanlong angrily. She snorted and said,""You're pretending. You're so hypocritical."
"Hey."
Shao Xuanlong could not help but laugh." I can beat you up now. Do you know what that means?" That's right. If I hit you now, even if your mother comes out and sees it, she will definitely think that you did something wrong.”
"And I'm just helping her educate her child.”
"No matter how you explain it, your mother will think that you're trying to quibble.”
Shao Xuanlong laughed coldly." As long as I don't really break you, your mother will stand on my side no matter what. Why are you still dancing with me?" Do you think you are qualified? By the way, who did you call a hypocrite just now? It can't be me, right?"
Yang Duo 'er also reacted.
It really made sense.
Yang Duo 'er's face changed a few times before she forced a smile.""I said a classmate of mine, not you.”
"It really wasn't me?"
"It really isn't."
"Then who am I to you?"
"You are…"
Yang Duo 'er was so angry that her liver hurt. She gritted her teeth, revealing a row of white teeth."You're daddy."
"Hey, that's good. Daddy will buy you a lollipop later.”
I'm so angry!
Actually, she wasn't afraid of her mother.
On the contrary, they were in awe of Shao Xuanlong.
It was also because of this respect that she had always been against Shao Xuanlong.
Doesn't it sound weird?
But this was the truth.
Students of this age all had the temperament of a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.
The more they were afraid of something, the more they wanted to try it.
He was unlike the older people who would hesitate and hesitate whenever there was a little fear or uncertainty. They would consider too many things and pros and cons.
"By the way, I wanted to ask you just now…"
"Who am I?" Shao Xuanlong interrupted and asked.
You're a bastard.
"Forget it, I won't ask anymore."
Yang Duo 'er turned her head and huffed.
Shao Xuanlong glanced at him and chuckled.
He subconsciously looked at her socks.
They were the same age, but the feeling was different.
Take Dong Xiaoxiao for example. She was a little delicate, like a doll.
As for her, perhaps because she practiced martial arts, she was a little more impetuous.
……
In the end, the little girl couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Daddy?" I have a question."
"You ask." Shao Xuanlong smiled.
Yang Duo 'er was fuming. She thought to herself,' I'll let you be happy now. When I find a way later, I'll make you call me mom. No, I'll make you call me grandaunt. Hmph!'
"Are you really with my mom?”Her confused eyes were filled with great suspicion.
"Is there any doubt?"
Shao Xuanlong tilted his head and looked at her. Tell me, is daddy powerful or not?"
Wei…Wei your head!
Yang Duo 'er looked angry.
"How did you do it?"
"You're just a child. Why are you asking about this? Besides, this is a secret."
"Tsk."
Yang Duo 'er rolled her eyes and said," Don't blame me for not telling you. My mother has many suitors. If they find out about this, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to escape death."”
"You used a pack of hyenas to threaten a lion?" Shao Xuanlong smiled.”
"You think you're a lion?" The little girl pouted.
Shao Xuanlong said," That's just a metaphor. Besides, I'm much more powerful than lions now. Killing one or two with my bare hands isn't too much of a problem."”
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Yang Duo 'er pouted. This guy was still young. How did he train?
It seemed that he had to practice more. He could not continue to be lazy. Otherwise, he would really be bullied to death.
However, Yang Duo 'er thought of a solution.
It was actually a threat just now, but it might not be a solution, right?
Mom licked so many…hyenas.
There were quite a few in the police station.
If he released the news, no matter how strong this guy was, he would be annoyed, right?
Anyway, as long as Shao Xuanlong was unhappy, Yang Duo 'er wanted to do it.
Shao Xuanlong noticed the little girl's expression.
A wicked smile hung on his lips.
His eyes flickered.
He must have some bad idea.
hey ~
This girl.
"Oh right, daughter."”
"What's wrong? Bah!"
Yang Duo 'er, who had regained her senses, subconsciously agreed. However, she quickly realized why she had agreed so easily.
Pui!
However, after he spat, he looked at Shao Xuanlong with a faint smile.
Yang Duo 'er quickly said," There's some fur in my mouth. Pui, pui, pui…Right, Daddy, what are you calling me for?"”
Shao Xuanlong was amused." I originally wanted to bring you to experience the martial world. Since you're so unwilling, then forget it."”
"No, no, no. I was wrong. I was wrong. Are you really taking me there?”
"Do you really want to go?"
"Yes, I must."
"Then don't kick me with your stinky feet in the future.”
"It's not smelly, okay…Okay, okay, okay. I won't kick you.”Yang Duo 'er said, but she snorted in her heart. I'll kick you to death. Just you wait.
Shao Xuanlong had a firm grasp on her rebellious personality.
As someone who was obsessed with legs, Shao Xuanlong couldn't possibly say,'Please kick me in the future,' right?
This was too much.
Therefore, he played hard to get.
"And no socks."
"Alright."
Only then did Shao Xuanlong nod his head and said in satisfaction,"Seeing that you're so obedient, I'll bring you there. I'll tell your mother and report to her.”
"No, no, I can't say it. My mom is very opposed to me going to play.”Yang Duo 'er said repeatedly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Your mother will agree."”
"No, this matter must be kept a secret.”Yang Duo 'er said, refusing to tell her mother.
Because she knew her mother too well.
When she was young, her mother would often tell stories about Jianghu. However, as she grew older, her mother basically stopped telling stories.
Later on, Yang Duo 'er took the initiative to ask, but her mother didn't say anything and would occasionally get angry.
It was obvious that her mother was against her getting involved in this circle.
Therefore, he absolutely could not say it.
Once he said that, it would be equivalent to alerting the enemy. His mother would definitely be on guard.
She did not believe that Shao Xuanlong could make her mother submit to him.
Therefore, he did not believe that his mother would let him go out to play just because of Shao Xuanlong.
"Alright, since you're so obedient, I'll keep it a secret for you. However, what should you do? Should you praise me?" Shao Xuanlong said helplessly.
“……”
Childish.
Yang Duo 'er ridiculed, but she smiled on the surface.""Daddy is the best."
'Ugh!
Just you wait.
…………
Lin Xiyue's cooking skills were really good.
It was hard to imagine that such a busy and skilled internal force expert would have such skills.
It seemed that she had seriously learned life skills for the sake of her child.
Lin Xiyue picked up some food for Shao Xuanlong. After receiving Shao Xuanlong's approval and praise, Lin Xiyue smiled happily.
But Yang Duo 'er was jealous.
Yang Duo 'er picked up the bowl and handed it to Lin Xiyue.""Mom, I want it too."
"Can't you pick it yourself? It's not like I don't have hands."
"How can this be?" Yang Duo 'er was stunned." I'm not your biological son, am I?" she shouted.”
“……”
You've revealed the secrets of heaven with one sentence, girl.
Helpless, Lin Xiyue also picked up a piece of braised pork for her.
During the meal, other than Yang Duo 'er who was a little jealous and occasionally used this small method to make her presence known, everything else was very warm.
Then, Lin Xiyue's phone rang.
A text message came.
The content of the text message: " Corpses have been confirmed at the marked places. There are two bodies in total. From the characteristics, they are a man and a woman. They have already become white bones. We have already taken a few pieces of broken bones and are waiting for testing."”
Lin Xiyue didn't go there herself. Instead, she asked her trusted aide to make a trip.
Lin Xiyue's expression changed slightly as she replied,""Remember the position, fill it up again, and don't move the corpse!”
Lin Xiyue didn't dig up the corpse, nor did she plan to cremate it.
Firstly, he was not sure if the two corpses were his sister and brother-in-law.
Secondly, he did not want to alert the enemy.
Even if it was confirmed that it was her sister and brother-in-law, Lin Xiyue would not be buried again.
If he did not take revenge, he would never be able to dig it out.
If she failed to take revenge, she would also ask someone to bury her there in the future.
Lin Xiyue had already prepared for the worst.
"Mom, did something happen?" Yang Duo 'er saw that her mother's expression was not right and asked.
"It's fine. Let's eat." Lin Xiyue smiled, but her smile was somewhat forced. She even glanced at Shao Xuanlong.
Shao Xuanlong roughly knew what had happened.
This was because Lin Xiyue did not deliberately hide the fact that she had arranged for people to go to the desolate mountains from Shao Xuanlong.
Calculating the time and distance, they should have confirmed the location of the corpse.
Now, they were just waiting for the test to confirm the identities of the two corpses.
Shao Xuanlong said," If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. However, remember to eat something on the way. It's not good for your health if you don't eat."”
Lin Xiyue's heart warmed and she nodded gratefully.""Then, then you guys eat first. Duo Er, listen to Uncle at home, okay?”
"Oh!" Yang Duo 'er pouted.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with calling him uncle.
Not to mention his previous life, even Shao Xuanlong himself was a round older than Yang Duo 'er.
It was just that Shao Xuanlong looked young.
Putting aside his temperament and aura, just his face alone was enough to say that he was around 20 years old.
Actually, it could be a little smaller, but there was no fur around the mouth, so it was naturally more mature. It could not act like a high school student.
It was the same for Lin Xiyue. It was also because of her training. She looked like she was 24 or 25, right? It couldn't get any bigger.
……
He waited for Lin Xiyue to leave.
"What is she busy with?" Yang Duo 'er couldn't help but ask curiously. You know that, right?"
Shao Xuanlong ate slowly and ignored her.
Yang Duo 'er's mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes.""Daddy!"
"Ai!"
Shao Xuanlong replied," Of course I know. However, you're just a child. Don't bother about adult matters. Hurry up and eat."”
Yang Duo 'er pouted unhappily and changed the topic.""Shall we go play tonight? Go to the martial world. You promised me."
Shao Xuanlong shook his head." I can't tonight. Xiaoxiao just came home. I have to go back and accompany her."”
"Scum!" Yang Duo 'er cursed fiercely.
Others didn't know about their relationship, but Yang Duo 'er knew it all too well.
Thinking of her poor old mother, Yang Duo 'er felt indignant.
He really wanted to tell his mother about this so that she would not be deceived by this bastard.
Yes!
If there was a chance, he would say it himself.
After all, it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one.
His mother hadn't been with him for long, so he believed that their relationship wasn't that deep.
Yang Duo 'er secretly made a decision.
Shao Xuanlong did not know what she was thinking.
"Besides, do you think the underworld is a nightclub?" Those hooligans? Then you are looking down on the martial world too much. The martial world is a small world. Do you know the ghost market?”
"Ghost market?" Yang Duo 'er was stunned.
"Yes, it only opens at night. There are only seven places in the country that have it, and it doesn't open every day. It opens at most twice a month, and the opening time is determined by the local ghost market.”
"It's not open yet, so even if I want to take you there, I can't.”Shao Xuanlong said.
"Then, then when will it open?" Yang Duo 'er was even more curious.
So it wasn't a nightclub or a hooligan?
He thought that as long as it was night, there would be all kinds of martial artists.
Unfortunately, Yang Duo 'er hadn't encountered it many times in the past few years. She thought that it was her bad luck.
He didn't expect that there was actually a ghost market.
Just hearing this name made him feel gloomy.
But Yang Duo 'er was even more excited.
"Wait for the notice. The time isn't fixed. There's a notice before the Ghost Market opens.”
"I think your mom will also receive an invitation. Pay attention to the mailbox downstairs for the next few days. If there's a registered letter, it should be an invitation letter. There's a black sword symbol on it, which is the symbol of the ghost market.”Shao Xuanlong said.
Hearing Shao Xuanlong's detailed explanation, Yang Duo 'er believed him.
Moreover, Shao Xuanlong had not lied to her.
However, the word 'ghost market' was not enough to describe that place.
Shao Xuanlong had never seen it with his own eyes. He was only familiar with it through the description of the plot.
He also wanted to see what the "Gold Consuming Cave" described in the plot looked like.
The market should be opening soon.
The Ghost Market's invitation method was through registered mail.
Each person with an invitation card could bring no more than three people into the ghost market.
If the person they brought was a martial artist, they could register in the local ghost market and become the so-called: Jiang Hu people.
Then in the future, when the ghost market sends out invitations, you will be included.
Therefore…although the threshold of the ghost market was not low, there were many people who went every time.
There were also high officials and some reputable wealthy businessmen. These were not martial artists, but because of their status, they were rich.
Therefore, he could go over to spend money.
The consumption there was indulgence.
Every local ghost market had the power of the local ancient martial arts family, and they could get dividends.
…………
Actually, Yang Duo 'er could still accept calling him' daddy'.
As he called out, he got used to it.
It was much better than calling her "Daddy" directly.
Shao Xuanlong didn't stay for long after eating.
He only stayed for half an hour.
She sat on the sofa and let Yang Duo 'er massage her shoulders. In exchange, Shao Xuanlong told her some things about the ghost market and the underworld.
There were also some legends about martial artists.
The little girl was easy to fool.
Shao Xuanlong had almost finished telling her about the Battle Granny Firmament. Anyway, it was just changing the settings.
Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, and the like were known as open force and hidden force.
Then, the Xiao family was casually called an ancient martial arts aristocratic family.
Finally, there were Dou Sheng, Saint Seiya, Dou Di, and Doupi…
The little girl was indeed easy to fool.
But not stupid.
As she listened, she felt that something was wrong.
I haven't reached the hidden force, but I'm not stupid.
Is it really okay for you to treat me like a fool?
She kicked her little pink feet around in exasperation.
Fortunately, Shao Xuanlong was not weak either. He directly sealed her and used his ultimate move, Scratching Her Feet.
The little girl laughed until her eyes were filled with tears. In the end, Shao Xuanlong laughed out loud and left.
He had tricked her into massaging him for more than twenty minutes.
Both body and mind are at peace.
"I won't let you off."
"I won't forgive you."
"Stinky father…Ptui! Stinky bastard."
The little girl's roar came from behind.
Changing her words was really a natural habit.
…………
Inside the car.
Shao Xuanlong became serious.
He held his laptop and looked at the detailed resumes.
Each of them was a girl.
It was like a talent show.
The content was very detailed, including their birthplace, when they went to the orphanage, what happened, and even what happened at home.
Was it an accidental death, or was it abandoned…
His height, weight, photos, daily life photos…
His estimated personality was also marked.
After the elimination, there were a total of sixty-eight people.
They were chosen from tens of thousands of orphans!
They all met Shao Xuanlong's requirements.
The first choice was to be…healthy.
He was about ten years old, neither too old nor too young. He could not be more than twelve years old, and the lowest was no less than eight years old.
The requirements had been changed a little. It was based on ancient martial arts.
"But 68…"
"Isn't that a little too much?"
Shao Xuanlong pondered.
At first, he thought that ten children would be enough.
He was also testing the waters.
Of course, the main reason was that it would cost a lot of medicinal herbs to raise them. The consumption of children was not as much as that of adults, but the cost of medicinal herbs alone would cost at least 600,000 yuan a month.
Ten children meant six million.
With good ingredients, he could eat, drink, and poop.
If they were unified, they would be able to squander 100 million a year.
To Shao Xuanlong, it didn't seem like much, right?
However, this was a long-term investment, and there was almost no return.
Ten was already not bad.
Now, there were sixty-eight of them…
According to the previous consumption, it was definitely an astronomical figure.
Just the medicinal herbs alone would be worth at least 500 million a year.
Moreover, as the number of medicinal herbs purchased increased, the medicinal herbs on the market would become more and more expensive, and the medicinal effects would even fluctuate.
However…
That was all in the past.
Now, Shao Xuanlong could draw expensive items that were much more effective than those in the pharmacy.
The cost would be minimized.
Moreover, there were top-grade medicinal pills like the Bone and Muscle Pill.
And on second thought.
Shao Xuanlong was going to establish a large faction in the future.
The kind that was not inferior to a small country.
Therefore, he didn't think that there were too many people now.
"68 then…"
"Third Bro, find a place in the suburbs and build a training camp. The first phase should be big enough to accommodate…at least three hundred people.”
"After you've found a good place, we'll go and talk directly.”
"Contract the surrounding area and seal it off. Don't allow outsiders to enter casually.”
"Time is tight. If we can find a small factory, we can rebuild it directly on the foundation of the factory.”
"Alright, Young Master. What about these little guys?" Third Brother asked.”
Shao Xuanlong thought for a moment and said," Let's talk about the place first. Then, we'll change it to a temporary dormitory. It's fine if it's a little smaller. When the time comes, we'll settle the formal procedures for them and bring them over as soon as possible."”
"Yes, sir!" No. 3 nodded.
…………
In the following days, Shao Xuanlong was very relaxed.
But things didn't delay.
All aspects were carried out according to his requirements, and the progress was very fast.
This day!
Mu Qing had also returned.
Third Brother was dumbfounded.
At the same time, the invitation to the Ghost Market arrived.
The moment Yang Duo 'er received it, she immediately called Shao Xuanlong.
…………
[PS: Yesterday, the flowers really exploded. It was a small 30,000 yuan. It directly broke through 200,000 yuan. It was too awesome, my dear brothers.]
Oh, and yesterday, I didn't see the news when I cut off the internet to write. I only found out that something big had happened after I posted the book.
I don't have much to say. While I remember, I also wish everyone peace, longevity, happiness, and health!
