107: A scolding

This Dragon and Stubborn Ox had just arrived at a new place and were very curious, running everywhere.

They soon found themselves in a small village outside Linhai City.

As dusk approached, they were preparing to return to Lu Hao.

Suddenly, they encountered a woman on the road.

The woman, named Bu Yingsi, was a very ordinary Cultivator from a nearby village outside Linhai City.

However, her appearance was fresh and beautiful, and even her simple clothes could not hide the inherent beauty of her temperament.

Bu Yingsi was on her way home when she saw Lu Xiaolong on the road.

She then noticed that Lu Xiaolong had no adult with him, only a large, black, and strong old ox.

Her heart couldn't help but feel worried.

Is it dangerous for such a small child to be walking alone here?

So Bu Yingsi stepped forward and said to Lu Xiaolong:

“Little friend, what is your name? Why are you here alone? Don't your parents care about you?”

Bu Yingsi’s voice was very pleasant, giving a feeling like a spring breeze.

Lu Xiaolong saw a beautiful older sister talking to him, his face flushed, and he said in a childish voice:

“My name is Lu Xiaolong!”

“My father is drinking and eating meat in the tavern; he let us come out to play on our own. He said he would come find us when he had time.”

Bu Yingsi’s previously smiling face instantly showed a hint of surprise. What would happen with Lu Xiaolong’s words?

An image of a father reeking of alcohol, lazy, and not even caring for his child immediately appeared in Bu Yingsi’s mind.

Does such a person deserve to be a father?

This child in front of her is so well-behaved, so cute, with big eyes, rosy cheeks, and such a pleasant voice.

How could he end up with such a father!

Bu Yingsi’s heart immediately filled with pity. She felt that this child was being neglected by his unreliable father.

So she tentatively asked:

“Lu Xiaolong, where is your mother?”

Lu Xiaolong continued to answer:

“I don't have a mother; I've only had my father since I was born.”

Bu Yingsi’s heart began to ache. This little boy lost his mother at such a young age and was stuck with an alcoholic father. It was simply a Hellish start!

So she decided to take care of him first, waiting for his father to come find him, otherwise, it would be too unsafe for him to go home alone.

“Lu Xiaolong. My name is Bu Yingsi. Do you want to come to my house to play? I'll make you something delicious!”

Lu Xiaolong immediately became excited when he heard this, and said cheerfully:

“Yes, yes! I'll go, I'll go.”

The Stubborn Ox beside him also mooed twice in a low voice.

Lu Hao had given him an order: unless necessary, he was not to display his abilities in front of people, so he had always pretended to be a large black ox.

He would moo occasionally; as long as Lu Xiaolong and his master understood, that was enough.

At this moment, Bu Yingsi also noticed the large black ox and asked:

“Xiaolong, this big black ox is?”

“This is my father’s mount. My father usually loves to sit on it and enjoy the scenery.”

A mount?

No, what kind of normal person would use an ox as a mount?

Even low-level Cultivators outside wouldn't use an ox as a mount...

At this point, Lu Hao’s impression score in Bu Yingsi’s mind dropped even lower.

Using an ox as a mount means his cultivation must not be great, otherwise, why wouldn't he find a Yao Beast?

“Lu Xiaolong, let’s go. Let’s go to my house to play. When your father comes, I'm going to give him a good talking-to!”

“Come, sister will hug you!”

Lu Xiaolong saw a beautiful older sister wanting to hug him, so how could he refuse?

So Bu Yingsi hugged Lu Xiaolong, with the large black ox following beside them, and they went home.

Bu Yingsi’s home also had two elderly people, her parents.

Her father was still relatively healthy. Although his cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refining, he could barely make a living by fishing by the shore.

Her mother, however, was frail and sickly, bedridden year-round.

Bu Yingsi had just met Lu Xiaolong and them on her way back after buying groceries.

Lu Xiaolong saw how poor this older sister’s home was and thought that when his father arrived, he would ask him for help.

After dinner, Bu Yingsi also kept them for the night since it was so late.

So Bu Yingsi took Lu Xiaolong to sleep.

Lu Xiaolong slept soundly with the beautiful older sister.

He even blew a huge snot bubble.

The Stubborn Ox, on the other hand, was guarding outside. He didn't need to sleep for the time being, taking this opportunity to quickly consolidate his cultivation after his Breakthrough.

His master had told him that as long as his cultivation was full, he could help him Break through instantly, so he had to work hard!

The next day, Bu Yingsi got up to make breakfast for her mother. As for her father, he had already gone out to catch fish.

Lu Xiaolong naturally woke up too. Bu Yingsi carried him outside, and just as she was about to put him down, she saw a white-robed figure slowly walking over.

Lu Hao was stunned when he saw this scene.

No, you said you were going out to play, but how did you end up in someone else's arms?

Heavenly Eye of Unveiling!

[Bu Yingsi, fourth level of Qi Refining, no sect, currently in a Bottleneck period.]

As soon as Lu Xiaolong saw Lu Hao, he immediately shouted happily:

“Father! Father!”

It was better if he hadn't called out. Originally, when Bu Yingsi saw Lu Hao’s appearance, it had a great impact on her maiden heart.

He was so handsome, walked gracefully, and his white robe fluttering in the wind added a few touches of unrestrained elegance to Lu Hao.

Bu Yingsi had lived in this place for so long and had never seen anyone as handsome as Lu Hao.

For a moment, her heart skipped a beat.

But when she heard Lu Xiaolong call him father, all her illusions about Lu Hao shattered.

This was Lu Xiaolong’s father, who was addicted to alcohol?

He actually had such a good appearance!

It was a pity that he was not responsible at all on the inside, truly wasting such a good-looking exterior!

The more Bu Yingsi thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but step forward and say to Lu Hao:

“How can you be such a father?! Letting such a small child run around outside alone, it's very dangerous!”

“What if he gets abducted? What if he meets bad people on the road? What if he encounters a Yao Beast?”

“Have you thought about these consequences? Since you are a father, you must have a sense of responsibility as a father. How can you still drink heavily every day!”

“This child, Xiaolong, is so cute. I'm so angry. If he didn't have a father, I would even want to raise him myself.”

......

Lu Hao’s mouth twitched from being lectured.

No, what exactly happened? Wasn't Lu Xiaolong abducted by you?

“Miss Bu, it's not what you think...”

Bu Yingsi heard that Lu Hao still wanted to argue and immediately said:

“Then what is it? Xiaolong has told me everything. You don't need to argue. I'm not saying these things for any other purpose. I just want you to pay more attention to this child. He's still so young...”

Lu Hao was completely convinced after hearing this and didn't bother to argue anymore.

Whatever she said, it was whatever...

Anyway, he was leaving here in two days, so he wouldn't bother with it anymore.

As long as she didn't have any ill intentions, it was fine.

So Lu Hao planned to hug Lu Xiaolong back, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaolong to refuse!

“Father, I want to play here for a while. I feel like I've found my mother!”
