In the following week, Ma Long's big family added a new member - Momotani Tama from the island nation of Japan.
As a direct descendant of the largest onmyoji family in the island country, Ma Long admired her for being willing to stay in a Chinese family as a servant. Of course, this was also related to her total loss of mana, otherwise Ma Long would not be able to control her.
Momotaniyu's main task in this house is to do groceries. She lives in the same room as Lily, who was just promoted to housekeeper - in the former study. Although Lily bought a luxurious king-sized bed, the study cannot accommodate another bed.
Moreover, neither of them wanted to sleep in the same bed with anyone else, so Momoya took the initiative to build a tatami sleeping bunk underground. Anyway, she slept on the ground in the island country.
At first, all the cooking work in the kitchen was hers. But after she "carefully" prepared a weird dish for everyone every day, all the members unanimously voted not to allow Momoya Yu to step into the kitchen again, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
She goes to spoil the food again.
Because, after eating the "delicious" dishes made by Taoguyu three times, Shen Bingbing completely exploded - "Expelled, expelled, expelled!"
Of course, it was impossible to fire Taoguyu. Ma Long was the first to stand up and refused. Where can I find a servant like Taoguyu who is easy on the eyes and does not need to be paid? Although there is no need to count on her cooking.
However, Tao Guyu is still capable of cleaning the house, washing the dishes and washing the dishes after meals.
However, Ma Long found that no matter whether others criticized or praised Tao Guyu, her expression did not show any reaction. It was still the same as when he first saw her, as if she was wearing a mask.
Curious, Ma Long found an opportunity and asked Tao Guyu this question.
"When others scold you, your face is expressionless, which means you have a big belly." He asked puzzledly, "But when they praise you, you are still expressionless. At least you smile, right? From the first time
I haven’t seen you smile until now.”
"Laugh?" Tao Guyu looked at Ma Long, as if he had fallen into deep thought, and remained silent for a long time.
Ma Long asked: "Is there something unspeakable? It might feel better to say it."
Tao Guyu shook her head and expressed her gratitude to Ma Long for his concern. She said, "You were not born in the family I was in, so you won't understand."
"Isn't she the eldest daughter of a cultivator family?" Lily interjected, "Our Francis family is also very strict about cultivation. I have suffered a lot since I was a child, and I am not like you, with a sullen face all day long.
.Am I not living happily?"
Tao Guyu said: "So you won't understand. Let me briefly talk about my life experience, maybe you can understand something."
Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to Tao Guyu talking about her past life.
"I have been working with corpses for as long as I can remember," she said. "Can you imagine? What I see most every day is not my parents, but corpses."
Ma Long and others all showed surprised expressions. They have been dealing with corpses since they were young. This must be such a cruel thing.
"Onmyoji, as the name suggests, connects yin and yang and can control the dead. Every high-level onmyoji has to work with zombies. Even if they get married and have children, it is just to fulfill the responsibility of producing offspring. The whole family has no emotion at all.
, in my eyes, whether it is my parents or other people, they are actually no different from the zombies in my hands, they are all a group of emotionless animals."
Tao Guyu raised her head, "How can I smile after growing up in such a terrifying environment? Although I may not be able to go back to that home in the future, I feel relieved and feel a sense of relief.
I'm just a little confused about the future, but now that I'm with you, even though I can't laugh, I can feel the feeling of home that I've never felt before in my heart."
She stood up and bowed deeply to everyone. "Thank you everyone for allowing me to have this wonderful experience."
Ma Long and others were moved by Tao Guyu's words. They didn't expect that this girl who looked colder than Shen Bingbing would have such a cruel growth experience. Ma Long always thought that he was an orphan.
It's unfortunate enough, but I didn't expect that some people, even if they have families and parents, actually live even worse.
Yaoyao was moved by the scene, perhaps thinking of her sister again, and actually shed tears. After Shen Bingbing and others listened to Taoguyu's story, they no longer treated her with cold words, but regarded her as a member of the family.
.
The harmony of the family allowed Ma Long to have more time to practice.
Since the last time he took Taoguyu's antidote mixed with poison, and his cultivation level has been continuously improved by two levels, Ma Long's cultivation effects have been deteriorating. After all, he has reached a watershed in cultivation, and he is still two levels away from being able to be in the body.
When the golden elixir is gathered together, it will be a qualitative breakthrough.
Ma Long asked Tao Gu Yu if there was any medicine that could help with cultivation, but unfortunately there was only one bottle of Tao Gu Yu. And the family might not be able to produce one bottle a year. Ma Long could use one bottle at a time, which was enough.
Very precious.
Since there is no external assistance, Ma Long can only practice patiently step by step. Perhaps haste makes waste, for a week, Ma Long feels that the growth rate of his cultivation is as slow as a snail's crawl.
"Hey, I wonder when I can take the medicine of Tiancai Dibao again." Seeing that the practice had little effect, Ma Long simply lay down on the bed, planning to take a nap.
The next day is another weekend, and this is already the last weekend at the end of the month. The time is about to enter December. Unconsciously, half a year has passed. Ma Long hopes to end the elixir formation period and gather the golden elixir before the end of the year.
.by that time--
"Hey," Ma Long thought wildly, "As long as you pass the elixir-making stage, you don't have to guard your body like a jade!"
After getting up and finishing breakfast, Ma Long planned to go for a walk alone. It had been a long time since he had been to Nanhu Park. In the past, he often went to the park to practice. It was there that he met Yaoyao and some other people. That
There are many memories belonging to Malone in the park.
With this feeling of nostalgia, Ma Long entered the park alone and walked slowly. When he arrived near Xiaoyue Lake, he unexpectedly met an old friend.
Ma Long thought he was dazzled, but when he walked in and took a closer look, he couldn't be wrong.
"Xiao Ling..." He called out the person's name, thinking he was dreaming.
