"This is a scorching sunflower, which blooms all year round, and when it blooms, it is like a burning fire. The fourth explained.

"It's beautiful...... Can I take it off?" Yu Qianniao, who was squatting in front of the flower, looked back at Lao Sidao.

"This ......" Lao Si scratched his head: "Mother doesn't like others to touch these things she planted." ”

"Okay. Yu Qianniao looked at the beautiful and gorgeous flowers, and suddenly realized something.

"Your mother planted it with her own hands?"

"Of course, all the plants in this garden were planted by my mother. The fourth replied.

"The whole garden??" Yu Qianniao thought of the garden that he couldn't finish walking for a long time.

"Are you sure it's the whole?"

"Of course, this is my mother's hobby, and we didn't understand it at first, and we really wanted to eat these things, but my mother wouldn't let us eat them. ”

"How long does it take for your mother to plant so many plants??"

"Mother should have been planted for hundreds of years, at the beginning we were still cows, did not evolve into minotaurs, after my mother took us here, the first contact with the merchants, I don't remember what it was, but then we began to settle here, the eldest brother and the mother specially built a wooden house, said that this is in order to have better contact with humans, and it was then that we began to plant flowers and grass. ”

"What about this big castle, which you built too?"

"No, my mother hired someone to design and build it after she made money, and at that time, the minotaur who could already transform into a cow had to become a cow, and we were all in a panic. The fourth child smiled: "Speaking of which, my mother has changed a lot, my mother is becoming more and more like a human being, and she has learned the written language of many countries, including living habits, dressing tastes, and let us also learn, but what has not changed, is the hobby of planting flowers and grass, which has never changed." ”

"Well, that's a special guy. Yu Qianniao remembered the appearance of Ao Fuling, who was one meter eight tall, and even taller if the horns on her head were counted, but if she removed the two horns, Ao Fuling did look like a nobleman.

"Also, I remember that there is still edible fruit in front of me, would you like to try it?"

Yu Qianniao hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I ate too much just now, and you have too many fruits, so let's do it next time, I'll try to pick all the ones I haven't eaten and taste them all." ”

"Haha. The fourth laughed, and then threw the fruit in his hand into his mouth.

Seeing this, Yu Qianniao felt that the tall minotaur was also quite cute: "By the way, do you know the profession of beast master?"

"Beastmaster?" the fourth shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"The beast master is a profession that specializes in domesticating wild beasts, if they know you, they will definitely go crazy, wild beasts that can speak human words, unheard of existence. ”

"Domesticate us?" the fourth shook his head: "We don't want to be domesticated by humans, and we will always follow our mother." ”

Yu Qianniao thought about it, is Ao Fuling a desolate beast or a human now?

I don't know how the beast master will define her if he knows, strictly speaking, even if she transforms, the body is still a wild beast, since it is a wild beast, it can be domesticated, but obviously it is impossible for Ao Fuling to be domesticated, she has completely integrated into the habits of human life.

Uh, it's hard to get results, forget it, don't think about it.

Unconsciously, the warm afternoon sun gradually withdrew from the earth, leaving a red sunset on the eve of leaving.

evening

A room on the third floor.

Ofling's wounds had been treated, and although they still looked awkward, there was not a single place on her skin that wasn't covered in blood.

"Mother, I have already taken your clothes to be washed. The fifth brother stood respectfully beside Ao Fuling and said.

Offrey didn't answer, but looked at herself in the mirror, with reddish eyes.

"Wuwa, let's find out if there is any medicine to heal the wound quickly. ”

"Mother, I've searched for it eight times, and it's really gone. ”

Ao Fuling looked at the mirror in a daze, and said, "Am I going to be ugly like this?"

"......" Lao Wu didn't know how to answer.

"No...... I can't let Ziyan see me like this. Ao Fuling frowned: "But it's dinner time, old five, what should I do?"

Lao Wu looked in the mirror: "You can use a trick to cover your eyes"

"Yes, I can use a blindfold to erase my scars!" Ao Ling said happily, "You are so smart, then I will go to Ziyan." ”

Lao Wu looked at his mother's elated appearance and sighed: "That's your signature ability, how could you forget ......"

Ao Fling came to the balcony on the third floor, there was another staircase, the port was on the balcony of each floor, and Zi Yan's room should be his own room, far away from the balcony, and should not be discovered.

Going down to the first floor, Offling straightened up to try to look more dignified, and then went up the main staircase from the hall, halfway through, Offling saw that in the stairwell, there was a dark golden scale lying down.

This should be Zi Yan's, Ao Furling thought so, picked up the scales and continued to walk, and came to his room, only to see Zi Yan meditating, Ao Furling cast a trick to cover his eyes, so that Zi Yan could not see the scars on his body.

"Ziyan, are you hungry?" asked Ofling with a smile.

Ziyan opened his eyes and was slightly surprised when he saw Ao Fuling, and then regained his expression.

"What's wrong, why are you so surprised to see me?" Offling smiled and sat down beside Ziyan.

"Nothing, is it time to eat?"

"Hmm. Offling nodded, "By the way, did you drop anything?"

"Things?" Ziyan looked at himself: "No, I only had a saber with me." ”

"Huh, whose is this?" Ao Fling stretched out her hand, and there was a dark golden scale lying in her palm, and Ziyan recognized at a glance that it was the scale of the Earth Dragon Lizard, which should be the one that Qin Hua carried.

"This one is painted by Chin. ”

"What about her?" Offling didn't see the painting.

She said she had gone out to hunt wild beasts. ”

"Then you ......" Ao Fling looked at Ziyan: "Have you come out?"

"No, I've been meditating. ”

"But I didn't see her pass downstairs. ”

"She went out through the window. Ziyan replied, and at this time, Ziyan found that Ao Fuling looked at him a little wrong, and the two were silent for a while.

"So......" The light in Ofling's eyes dimmed, "You see?"

Zi Yan's body shook slightly, and Zi Yan, who was going to pretend not to know, didn't understand how Ao Fuling guessed:

"Sorry......"

Offling bowed her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ziyan thought for a while: "How did you guess?"

Ao Fuling was silent for a while: "You said you were meditating, but you knew that Qin Hua jumped out of the balcony, but this scale fell on the stairwell......"

“......”

The two fell silent again.

Ziyan secretly glanced at Ao Fuling: "Is Sidia strong?"

"It's fine. ”

"Why are you afraid of him?"

"I'm not afraid of him. ”

"Then why ......"

"But I'm afraid of the powerful. ”

Qin Hua looked at Ao Fu Ling in confusion, and Ao Fu Ling smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Before I took on a human form, I was actually quite free......"

Once I was a wild beast running in the woods, because of talent, I have few opponents, even if I meet someone stronger than me, I can easily slip away, at that time my range of activities was not limited to the territory of the dog and horse empire, I wandered in many places, but there is one place I dare not go, that is the Magic Valley, it is ridiculous to say, the Magic Valley is where I was born.

Mother told me that our ancestors were legendary beasts, so we were wild beasts with the blood of mythical beasts, and therefore, my mother could have a place in the Magic Valley with her strong strength.

Born in the Magic Valley, I grew up very quickly, as the top of the food chain, hunting is something I have been learning, but in the hunting, I met a wild cow, her bloodline is the Berserk Emperor Cow, of course, at the time I didn't know what her bloodline was, this is what I only later became known.

She was caught by me, but I was so full at the time that I didn't intend to eat her, I just practiced with her, so I let her go, and then she was caught by me again, and I went back and forth several times, and I wondered why she didn't stay away from my territory, so I followed her after letting her go, and only then did I know that she was out of the group.

For the wild cow, it is a terrible thing to be isolated in the Magic Valley, which is full of ferocious predators, and she only dares to wander in my territory, because the other predators are afraid of me and my mother, but in my territory, I am the only one who threatens.

But she's my food, it's not going to change, I can't let her go all the time because of this, I thought so, but I let it go again and again.

Until another predator appeared, and it was in my territory, and it caught her, and I happened to encounter her, which I could not have turned a blind eye to, because this is my territory, and I am only allowed to hunt for food.

After a fierce fight, I realized that I had been reckless, it was a fierce white tiger with blue eyes, it was even stronger than me, but it turned out that I won, because she, the berserk emperor bull that I had released many times, took the opportunity to sneak up on it, so I won.

"Excuse me, you were wise?"

"It's almost the same as you humans, and when you grow up, you will naturally have it. ”

Since then, I have one more follower, a berserk king bull.

Then one day, she met the herd of the Fighting Emperor Ox, and I saw her happily following the herd, and although I was a little sad, I was kind enough to let her go.

But I was pleasantly surprised that she came back the next day, but unfortunately we couldn't communicate, otherwise I really wanted to ask her why she didn't go with the herd.

Later, I found out that she was pregnant, so she gave birth to many babies in my territory, and they were all very cute, but guarding these babies took up a lot of my time, which made me a little helpless as a person who likes to run.

"Sounds great, why leave?"

"Soon you know. ”

In the Magic Valley, there is no eternal strong, even if it is as strong as my mother, not to mention me, my mother who was originally with me went out to hunt one day and never came back, I was very flustered at that time, but there is no way, I can't leave these babies, as the only remaining ruler of the territory, I have to keep warning other predators, at first it was okay, with her help I can win, but the scope of the territory can only continue to shrink, because I can't guard the vast territory, until finally, the wolves attacked us, she died in the melee, and I escaped with one of her cubs, I have no more power。

"So...... That cub is ......"

"That's right, it's the big baby. ”

Later, I became his mother and wandered around with him, I didn't dare to take him back to the Magic Valley, and he grew up very quickly after me.

When I first arrived in the human realm, I seemed to have come to the Holy Land, where no one could disobey me, human beings seemed to me to be weak, and after the human beings saw my strength, they all worshiped me and worshiped me, and some human beings dared to challenge me, but they were all solved by me.

At that time, I met another legendary beast, it was a jackal, it was much stronger than me at that time, and there were many powerful little brothers, fortunately it had no ill will towards me, we were not as cruel as the beasts in the Magic Valley, we didn't have to kill each other, this comfortable life lasted until an army came.

It was the Iron Rider of the Dog and Horse Empire, I remember it clearly, but at that time we were not in the Dog and Horse Empire, but wandering among some indigenous tribes in the south, which worshipped me and those jackals, and we didn't want anyone to hurt these tribes.

Having reached a consensus, we joined forces to attack the iron horsemen, the iron horsemen in the mountains and forests are not strong, but we are like the masters, wantonly playing these iron horses in the forest, and then killing them one by one.

"It doesn't look like you're going to lose. ”

"Yes, it seems. ”

The strength of the legendary beast is not something that can be defeated by a team of hundreds of iron horsemen, not to mention that in addition to that legendary jackal, there are also his followers and I and the big baby.

But we seem to have angered some magnate, and then after a month of comfort, we welcomed an army of tens of thousands.

Mighty crossbowmen, crossbowmen made of fine iron, and arrows of fine iron with magical power shoot at us, and there are hundreds of crossbowmen, all of whom are king-rank powerhouses.

Of course, the crossbowmen couldn't catch up with us, so the other men they brought with them had already set up ambushes and surrounded us, and they wanted to kill us outright or tame us.

Of course, we couldn't be caught, under the leadership of the legendary jackal, we rushed to the iron horse, but the army of thousands of king-level powerhouses and tens of thousands of human-level soldiers swallowed us, the jackal refused to admit defeat, fought hard, and died, while I was scarred and lying on the ground panting, I felt that I could not survive, and gave up the struggle.

The difference between giving up resistance and trying my best is that I was cured by the pharmacists, I never knew that there were these miraculous drugs that could completely heal my serious injuries, how terrible human beings are, I was locked in a cage, and I was domesticated by a beast master with a few jackals.

But I know he's doing it in vain, their contracts or lashes mean nothing to us, we can't be tamed, but we all pretend to be obedient, because the Legendary Jackal can die, and it's crushed with zero win.

Finally we had the opportunity to go out, even though we were shackled with our collars and legs.

On the way to an unknown place, I attacked the soldiers who were escorting us while they were letting their guard down, and the jackals and the big baby immediately cooperated with me, and we escaped without any problems, and then I don't know where the jackals went, so I took the big baby and started wandering.

Later, I began to metamorphose and transform into a human form, and the eldest baby was also affected by my metamorphosis and became a minotaur, and most of the cattle that I adopted later evolved into minotaurs because of me.

But it's not like it's smooth sailing by being a human, I started out as a child, and once the magnates knew about our existence, they would go crazy to arrest us, so we had to hide, wander all the time, go through many countries, and finally someone here accepted us and made deals with us,

Dealing with people a lot, I will also learn to be cunning, but everyone's attitude towards me is different, but in the Inuma Empire, we maintain an attitude of recognition of our existence, but in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, we still try to contact as few people as possible and hide our identity.

But you know, some people are greedy, they know about us, they want to be our new masters, and even if we can find employers who approve of us, over time, they're going to die or leave, and we've got to find new ones, and we've had a lot of conflicts along the way, but we're not like.

Because the strength of the army of the Inuma Empire is too strong, and it is also because of a conflict that I learned that the army that captured us at the beginning was from the Inuma Empire.

"So, you're being hunted again?"

"That's what I thought at the time, but I was reluctant to leave the place. ”

I was caught, disheartened, and I was escorted to some of the magnates, but surprisingly, a magnate heard about it, found me, and released me on bail, who was also my first human friend, and he gave the condition that he could not harm humanity, not harm the interests of the Empire, and that he must contribute to the Empire without interruption.

In exchange, I have the right to stay in the Inuma Empire as a slightly lower than a citizen to serve it, and since then, in addition to my employer, I have directly added a ruler, and the ruler has changed a lot, among which there are officials, powerful people, and my current ruler is Lord Sidia.

"Lord Sidia was a down-and-out lord before he became my ruler, and he made his fortune by oppressing me. Offrey said with her head down.

"Then I probably know. ”

"Ziyan. Ao Fuling suddenly turned her head to look at Ziyan: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ziyan shook his head: "I don't think so." ”

"Oh, they all call me stupid, and most of the rulers say so, trying to trample me under my feet, saying that I daydream every day and want to be the powerful of the human race. Ao Fling looked at Ziyan's mouth: "But ah, he gave me this hope, he made me a part of the empire, I worked so hard for these guys, but unfortunately he is old, before he died, he smiled and said to me, I hope I can live well." ”

Ao Fuling's voice was a little choked: "I also want to, I have worked hard for hundreds of years, you see me, I also built a castle, I am my own queen, but there are always so many people who want to provoke me, I endure it for the sake of my dreams, I let them ride on my shoulders, but, my second son has been with me for hundreds of years, and I hate it when he says he is dead." ”
