With a soft "pop" sound, Ye Taotao loosened the chopsticks in her hands, and the steamed dumplings fell into the oil dish in front of her, splattering two or three drops of oil.
"What's wrong? Are you burned?" Hearing the noise, his old father Bai Xin immediately lowered his head nervously to check if Ye Taotao had been burned.
Ye Taotao opened her mouth slightly blankly, stared at Bai Xin with a pair of round eyes, and slowly shook her head.
"Papa, do we really want to go to the upper world?" she asked in a low voice, looking at Bai Xin's face.
Xiao Yan glanced sideways at Bai Xin, with a teasing smile in his eyes: "You and Zaizai explain slowly."
In fact, both of them have long had the idea of going to the upper world.
Bai Xin wanted to take revenge because the enemy who destroyed his family was in the upper realm; while Xiao Yan came from the upper realm and could not hide in the lower realm for the rest of his life, unable to escape.
However, the two of them had originally planned to cultivate to a suitable level before going to the upper realm.
But last night, after contacting Xiao Yan about the situation of the monsters in the upper realm, they decided that it would be better to go to the upper realm earlier. After all, the cultivation resources in the upper realm seemed to be too much compared to Zhu Lijie.
They wanted to let the little monsters cultivate and grow up as soon as possible, so that they would at least have the strength to protect themselves.
But Zhu Lijie's spiritual energy is too thin, which is not enough for the little monster to grow healthily. If he delays, when someone from the upper realm comes down, and the level is crushed, the little monster will be unable to protect itself.
What's more, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. It is better to help the little monster hide its identity and go to the upper realm to practice, than to stay in the lower realm all the time, with no improvement in cultivation, and can only shrink and hide.
However, these words cannot be said in front of other people present, and there is no need to tell her everything at once.
Before the little monster grows up, the two of them will protect the little monster together.
"Taotao doesn't want to go?" His mind was running like lightning. Bai Xin suppressed the surging thoughts, squatted in front of Ye Taotao, took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil splashed on her clothes, and asked.
Ye Taotao pursed her lips and thought carefully for a moment before whispering: "I don't want to be separated from Daddy. If Daddy wants to go, Taotao will go with her."
"Taotao is so kind," Bai Xin rubbed the little monster's head and said warmly, "Papa will not be willing to leave Taotao alone."
Ye Taotao nodded heavily.
Seeing this scene of "a loving father and a filial daughter," the young master on the side couldn't help but shake his fan and said: "I didn't expect that this Taoist friend would have such a big daughter at such a young age."
Judging from Bai Xin's appearance, she is only sixteen or fifteen years old, but Ye Taotao looks about three or four years old.
Is he really that "young and promising"?
While he was talking, the young master gradually looked at Bai Xin and something seemed wrong.
Bai Xin's face darkened and he responded coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
He and the little monster were not biological father and daughter in the first place, but this man refused to open any pot, which was really annoying.
It was just a casual joke, and he didn't expect that he would be offended. The young master suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Yan spoke at the right time and said: "Master Yun, I am the same as him, only Zaizai is such a sweetheart, so it is better not to tease Zaizai less."
These words contained several warnings, saying not to tease Ye Taotao, but the actual meaning was to warn him that since he had agreed to cooperate, he should not think of any tricks from Ye Taotao.
How could the young master not hear this? He immediately smiled and cupped his hands with a kind look: "I have learned a lesson."
But he couldn't help but glance at the string of red string bells on Ye Taotao's wrist, muttering to himself: Since it is so important to see, why do you still keep this string of red string bells?
If others can't recognize it, it's not like he can't recognize it.
This red string bell is a unique token of the Qiu family. Every Qiu family member who has never married will have this tied on their wrist. If they meet someone they want to stay with for a lifetime, they will give the red string bell to them.
other side.
This time, the Qiu family and I were assigned to this lower realm for training. It seemed to be the illegitimate daughter of the Qiu family. What was her name?
He couldn't remember...forget it, it wasn't that important.
"In this case, Yun will leave first." The young master greeted a few people and was about to leave. "In five days, we will discuss going to the secret realm."
After watching the young master leave, Ye Taotao asked: "Are we all going to go with him?"
"Don't worry about leaving you alone." Xiao Yan said.
"But we are all gone, what will happen to the big fish?" Ye Taotao felt a little unhappy when she thought about the shark who was still injured and had not healed yet.
Bai Xin said: "I know Zai Zai that you like that shark, so we will ask someone to take good care of him when we leave."
Ye Taotao was still a little worried. After all, brother Xiao Yan had just said before that even the tears of the shark could be used as medicine. What if someone took advantage of the time when they were no longer around to bully the shark and force him to cry?
His eyes can no longer see.
Really unable to think of a better way, Ye Taotao didn't even have any appetite for breakfast. She only stuffed a bun, drank some milk soup, and ran to the edge of the shark's pond.
"Big fish, big fish." She waved her fat arm towards the shark who was leaning on the other side of the pool with his eyes closed, and called him in a serious voice.
The shark slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly in her direction, as if he was thinking about what she was doing.
Seeing him open his eyes, Ye Taotao stopped and sat down by the pool.
"Come here." The little monster urged with a serious look.
This cub is calling her over. Does she have anything to say to herself?
After staying there quietly for a moment, the shark couldn't hold back Zaizai's expectations. The shark swung its tail and swam over.
He knew that Ye Taotao was a monster early on, but he didn't know why she was living with the human race despite being so good. However, she was still a newborn baby, and she would gradually learn in the future that the human race was despicable and not worth it.
Spend time together.
While the shark was thinking, he had already moved closer to Ye Taotao, and following the wishes of the monster cub, he lay down on the shore.
I couldn't help but reach out and touch the shark's fin lovingly. The slave mark on it was still so clear.
"Daddy said that you want to take me away with you for a while, so that no one can take care of you." Ye Taotao whispered, "You should recover quickly and get better, so you don't have to worry about being bullied again."
The shark's unfocused eyes looked at her.
"Linyi..." He opened his mouth and slowly spit out two words.
"Linyi?" Ye Taotao also chanted in a low voice, and suddenly his eyes widened. He slapped the ground with his chubby hand and suddenly realized, "This is your name!"
