The trip to the deep valley gave Ma Xiaoyao a lot of surprises. First, he found the millet leaf grass that might help him detoxify. Second, he discovered a monster with terrifying strength, and this monster is likely to obey Ma Xiaoyao's orders.
…
So far, Ma Xiaoyao has not figured out the true origin of the monster. He has made up his mind that after leaving the deep valley, he will read ancient books to see if he can find records of the monster. If he does not figure out the origin of the monster, Ma Xiaoyao will
Xiaoyao always felt a little unhappy.
Although it is small (it is a descendant of the monster, because of its small size and cute appearance, so Ma Xiaoyao calls it "Little"), but it is very spiritual. It seems to know that Ma Xiaoyao has no ill intentions towards it, so it lies on the horse's side obediently.
Nothing happened in Xiaoyao's arms.
Originally, Ma Xiaoyao planned to find a rope to tie the little one up, but seeing how honest and obedient the little one was, Ma Xiaoyao gave up the idea.
"How do you plan to settle this little guy?" Ouyang Zilan asked.
Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said: "I plan to find a secret and safe place to keep it in captivity. After the monster helps me kill Han Mingguang, I will return this little guy to it."
"If you believe me, just leave the little guy to me. I promise to take good care of it and never let it run away or be discovered by others," Ouyang Zilan said.
Ma Xiaoyao only hesitated for a second, then nodded and agreed to Ouyang Zilan's proposal. He has a lot to do now and really doesn't have much time to take care of the little one.
The little one's eyes were rolling around, and he occasionally looked up at Ma Xiaoyao and Ouyang Zilan. He didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, in this world, many animals are spiritual and can communicate with humans in a series of ways. The little one is
one of a kind.
The two of them walked quickly and soon left the Youyou Valley, and then returned to White Tiger City.
On the way back, Ma Xiaoyao put on makeup and dressed up as an old man who was over sixty years old.
"Ma Xiaoyao, your disguise skills are so good. If I hadn't known your details in advance, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you." Ouyang Zilan admired.
"It's not that exaggerated. In fact, if you look carefully, you can still see the flaws." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"The flaw? Where is the flaw? Why can't I see it?"
"Although my appearance has changed, my demeanor and behavior are difficult to imitate. After all, I am a young man. It will be difficult for me to imitate an old man all at once."
"What you said makes sense, but...you are already pretending to be very similar. Anyway, I can't see the flaw in you. If anyone can really see the flaw in you, then this person must be a monster with great wisdom."
"Haha... there are definitely people with great wisdom, but people like them are very rare, and it is usually difficult for us to meet them."
"Do you have a place to stay?"
"White Tiger City is so big, you can sleep in any corner, you don't have to worry about me."
"I have a private house in the east of the city. How about you stay there for a few days? This way, it will be easier for us to keep in touch."
"...Let's forget it. My identity is very sensitive now. If someone discovers it, you will be implicated."
"I'm not afraid of getting involved..."
"You are not afraid, I am! Han Mingguang's people are looking for me everywhere. Once they find out that I live in your private house, they will bring you a lot of trouble! I am already very grateful to you for accompanying me to Youyou Valley this time.
, if I cause you to suffer again, my conscience will be very uneasy."
"Ma Xiaoyao, listen to me..."
"Stop trying to persuade me. I will never go to your private house."
"...Okay, since you don't want to go, I won't force you..."
"I'll leave it to you to find the time bomb, and I'll leave this little monster to you as well...I'll contact you every three days...Okay, I'm leaving." Waved to Ouyang Zilan,
Ma Xiaoyao turned around and strode away.
Ouyang Zilan held the little monster in her arms and looked at Ma Xiaoyao's retreating back, looking a little lonely: "This Ma Xiaoyao is just a piece of wood!"
…
Ouyang Zilan first went to the private house to settle the little monster, then took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes before returning to the Ouyang family's manor.
Most of the children of the Ouyang family buy private houses outside, but they still have to live in the manor. This is the family rule of the Ouyang family, which requires the children of the family to live together. The ancestors made this rule out of good intentions.
, is to let the children of the family get along day and night and have a deep relationship. As long as the family works together, we can ensure that the Ouyang family will continue to be glorious.
It has to be said that the ancestor of the Ouyang family really took great pains. Unfortunately... he can make rules, but he cannot control the thoughts of the family's children. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Almost all the clan members are busy fighting for power.
There is not much concept of family affection, and the Ouyang family has begun to decline now. If the ancestors were resurrected and saw everything in front of them, they would probably be pissed to death.
The ancients said: It is easy to create a foundation, but it is difficult to keep it!
In the final analysis, future generations will not live up to expectations.
Ouyang Zilan is an anomaly in the family. She is obviously a girl, but she participates in the family's struggle for power. She usually behaves like a boy. Boys of the same age as her have basically been beaten by her.
Now when these people see Ouyang Zilan, they hide away and secretly call Ouyang Zilan "the black-haired witch".
Ouyang Zilan has been eccentric since she was a child. She has always been a loner and doesn't care about other people's opinions. The only people she cares about are her parents.
"Miss, you are finally back." A man who looked like a butler came up quickly and said, "The master and his wife have been looking for you for several days. If you don't come back, they will go crazy."
Ouyang Zilan nodded: "I understand, I will go to pay my respects to my parents later."
"Go quickly, don't keep the master and madam waiting too long." After warning, the housekeeper left.
Now that she knew her parents were looking for her, Ouyang Zilan temporarily gave up the idea of returning to her residence and turned around directly to walk towards the yard where her parents lived.
"Hey... isn't this Miss Ouyang? You haven't shown up for several days. I thought you were abducted..." A young man dressed as a young man walked over from the opposite side with a swagger in his hand.
Turn on the refractor and shake it while walking, it looks quite gentle.
"You were fucking trafficked!" Ouyang Zilan glared: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!" The young man opposite is named Ouyang Qingfeng, and he is Ouyang Zilan's cousin.
The two had never dealt with each other since childhood, and they quarreled endlessly when they met.
"Why are you scolding people..."
"I just scolded you, why?"
"...It's really unreasonable!"
"Unreasonable? Okay, today I will let you see what is unreasonable!" Ouyang Zilan rushed up quickly and gave the young master a big mouth.
The young master spun around in a circle. Half of his face was swollen at that time. He covered his face with his hands and glared at Ouyang Zilan angrily: "You...you still dare to do it...Ouyang Zilan, this matter is not over yet."
……me……"
"boom!"
Ouyang Zilan kicked out, and the young master instantly turned into a trapeze artist. A trace of disdain flashed in Ouyang Zilan's eyes: "What a misfortune for our family! Such a piece of garbage came out!" After Ouyang Zilan cursed, he raised his foot.
He left without even looking at the young master.
A few meters away, the young master was lying under a tree, his hair, face, and clothes were covered with mud. He struggled to get up from the ground and yelled at Ouyang Zilan in the background: "Smelly woman, what are you doing?"
I'm waiting, this matter is not over yet..."
"Whoosh!"
A stone flew from a distance and hit the young master's head squarely. The skin was broken and blood flowed. The young master's eyelids rolled up and he fainted immediately.
…
There is a quiet courtyard directly to the north of the manor. There are rockeries, a pool, and a three-story attic in the courtyard. This is the residence of Ouyang Zilan's parents.
Lobby.
Ouyang Lie sat on the chair, staring at his daughter whom he had not seen for a few days with wide eyes: "What have you been doing these days? Why have you heard nothing from her?"
"I went out to play." Ouyang Zilan said casually.
"Where did you go to play?" Ouyang Lie broke the casserole and asked.
"Went... to visit the imperial city..."
"Didn't you just come back from the Imperial City a few days ago? Why are you going again!"
"I didn't have enough fun last time."
"You went alone?"
"Ah, I'm not the only one."
"You didn't lie?"
"Dad, what do you mean? Where did I lie?" Ouyang Zilan frowned: "What happened to you today? You always have a straight face when we meet, asking this and that, just like torture a prisoner
…”
"Snapped!"
Ouyang Lie slapped the table, causing the teapot and teacup to shake: "What? As a father, I can't ask you anymore? I think your wings are stiff and you don't even dare to take me seriously.
"
"What, how can I..."
"Why didn't you? Look at how you look now, do you take me seriously?"
…
"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Yang Xianhui saw that the father and daughter were getting more and more quarrelsome, and hurriedly came out to break up the fight: "Can't you talk it over if you have something to say? You have to quarrel." At this point, Yang Xianhui
He glanced at the angry Ouyang Zilan and said, "Your father is also concerned about you and is worried about you getting involved with that Ma Xiaoyao."
"Ma Xiaoyao..." Ouyang Zilan was shocked: "What do you mean... What's wrong with Ma Xiaoyao? He is my boyfriend, the son-in-law you recognize..."
"Bullshit!" Ouyang Lie's face darkened: "Even Ma Xiaoyao, a wanted criminal, wants to be my son-in-law, let him dream!"
"Zi Lan, please wake up. Ma Xiaoyao is now a wanted criminal. General Han personally ordered Ma Xiaoyao to be wanted. It won't be long before Ma Xiaoyao is caught and beheaded. During this period, you should quickly cut off all contact with Ma Xiaoyao.
