Nono closed his eyes and waited for the slap.
But that slap never came.
because--
"Woof!"
When the middle-aged man reached out, the puppy in her arms suddenly showed a fierce look, bared its teeth at him, and growled menacingly.
It didn't know that the middle-aged man in front of it was Nono's father.
All it knew was that it smelled fear from Nono.
The girl acted like a hedgehog, but in fact her body was trembling slightly.
"Shut up!"
After hearing the dog barking, Nono quickly covered its mouth to prevent it from baring its teeth.
The middle-aged man's expression became gloomy for a moment, but soon became clear again.
"Do you think I will hit you?"
He shook his head.
"I just want to touch your head and let you understand my father's love. It seems that it is not necessary now."
Saying this, he took back his hand and sighed.
"It seems that you have always misunderstood me, but it doesn't matter. You should listen to your mother. If your mother is sober, she will definitely want to see you marry a good family."
Hearing her mother's name, Nono's body trembled slightly.
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, how could I threaten you with your mother's life?"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
"I'm here to congratulate you! The family has never given up on the research of specific medicines. Now it has produced a lot of effective serums. Although the results are not yet completely completed, once completed, it is very likely that your mother will be brought back from a vegetative state.
Awakening can even directly give her the same bloodline as you, don't you want to see her congratulating you in person?"
Nono was silent.
According to modern medicine, her mother's symptoms are incurable and she can only live in a vegetative state.
But if dragon serum is involved, that's another matter. This man may not be lying.
"What conditions?"
She gritted her teeth.
"What conditions do you require before you are willing to save her?"
"Your words are too cold, as if I'm making a deal with you."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
"If I can save your mother, of course I won't do anything to stop you."
At this point, his voice changed.
"However, this serum project is a joint project between me and the Gattuso family. If we want to cooperate further..."
He didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was already obvious.
"..."
Nono closed her eyes.
After a while, he opened it again.
"I promise you."
Her voice was low, like a puppet's.
"Good boy."
The middle-aged man smiled happily.
"I knew you wouldn't let father down."
As he said this, he glanced at the grinning puppy with a deep look in his eyes.
"Since you are willing to obey, you are still my good daughter. However, your behavior just now hurt the family's heart too much. As a punishment and to confirm your sincerity, you need to complete a task for the family."
"Do I have a choice?"
Nono smiled sarcastically.
"Of course there are options. In fact, it's okay even if you don't want to agree to this. You still have family here. If possible, your brothers and sisters are willing to marry on your behalf. With them here, what else do you have to fear? What about?"
The middle-aged man spoke in a gentle tone.
When Nuonuo heard this, she laughed miserably. She understood what the other party meant - if you don't do it, others will.
She looked around and shuddered slightly.
All the brothers and sisters looked at her eagerly. Both men and women wanted to see Nono reject her father's mission and then go on her own.
All around are brothers and sisters.
But all she saw was a group of snakes that were eager to devour people, greedy and crazy.
And she lives in this nest of snakes, as dark and twisted as hell.
There are no brave men or princes here, and there is no hope or future. Just like the monkey in the Water Curtain Cave, he cannot wait for Tang Monk and can only twist into a monster in the darkness.
…
…
The next morning.
Underground, Nibelungen.
After providing the Dragon King with wake-up service and breakfast service, Xia Mi brought Su Mo back here, saying that the subsequent training would be conducted here.
And before proceeding to the next step of training.
"What did you bring here today? Why did you bring a special bag?"
Xia Mi looked at the backpack behind Su Mo curiously.
Fenrir also came over secretly.
Although he was probably beaten by Xia Mi last time, the child cared about eating rather than beating, and he had no intention of fearing his sister because of this.
"Don't think about it, it's not potato chips. Besides, you haven't finished the last one, right?"
Su Mo shook his head and stopped Fenrir's thoughts.
Then he took out the props he purchased from his backpack.
"Is this... pepper spray?"
After reading clearly the words written above, Xia Mi looked strange.
"Why did you buy this? Are you afraid of meeting a pervert?"
Isn't this thing for young girls? Although Su Mo is good-looking, there aren't any big thieves who pick up men's sex in this country, right?
"Perhaps it's used to protect against color dragons!"
Su Mo glanced at Xia Mi.
"Bah! You are the perverted dragon!"
Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him and snorted softly.
"Not to mention that I'm not the one, but even if I am, do you think something like this can stop me?"
The main component of anti-wolf spray is capsaicin, which is useful for her human body, but less effective for dragons.
Of course, it was meaningless to her, the Dragon King, even a sneeze would not suffice.
However, for dragon-blooded creatures with keen senses of smell and taste, although such irritating things cannot cause harm, they can still make people uncomfortable for a while.
"If you can't stop it, you can't stop it, but you have to show an attitude. If you want to refuse, but you want to welcome it, isn't there still another refusal?"
Su Mo complained, and then continued to take out the remaining items.
Strong flashlight, swing stick, scissors, nail clippers...
All are emergency self-defense supplies.
"What are you doing, selling women's self-defense products?"
Xia Mi played with the props curiously and tilted his head to look at Su Mo.
"Didn't you just kill a rich woman and no longer have to work? Why are you preparing these things?"
Hearing this, Su Mo was stunned.
"Didn't you ask me to prepare some self-defense weapons?"
"..."
Hearing this, Xia Mi fell silent.
She silently scanned the strange props in front of her, none of which had a blade longer than three centimeters. If Su Mo hadn't said it was a weapon, she would have thought these were some strange props.
"Do you have any misunderstandings about weapons?"
Xia Mi held his forehead and sighed softly.
"Do you have any misunderstanding about the knife control regulations?"
Su Mo asked quietly.
