Chapter 73 Find a Stepfather In Zhou Ling's impression, her mother has always been a very strong person. She used her thin shoulders to provide her with a safe sky in these troubled times. It was the first time that she saw her mother slumped her shoulders and bent her back in front of her, as if she had never been a strong mother but an ordinary weak woman. My nose felt sore and I couldn't hold back my tears. Mother became strong because of her. Before she was born, mother was just a weak woman who only needed care. "Mom~" Zhou Ling didn't know how to comfort her mother since her father was cheating on her. All she could do was throw away the wood chips in her hand, squat beside her, half-lying on her legs, and accompany her silently. Although she couldn't understand it, shouldn't people go down to the underworld and queue up to be reincarnated after death? How come her own father had time to fall in love with someone while waiting in line? What's even more outrageous is that her mother somehow found out about it. Zhou Ling sighed, but then an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of a way to comfort his mother. "Mom! Actually, I don't mind having a stepfather. As long as he can treat you well and has good character, height, appearance and family background, I fully support you to remarry. Or if you don't get married, just develop a romantic relationship."
My mother came from a foreign country, so her thoughts are definitely not too conservative. But for so many years, she has been struggling to survive in this world with me, who is still young. It’s good enough that they can survive together. How can she have time to think about men? But the situation is different now. Since Dad has a new love down there, if Mom wants to find another one, it is also possible! "Really?" Zhou Li's voice was hoarse, and he looked up at his daughter while wiping his tears. "Really!" Zhou Ling nodded heavily. "Well, that's good. If you meet someone you like in the future, take him." Zhou Li was very pleased that the daughter he raised would consider her. Although the child had never seen her father, when he praised his daughter for her good looks, he would also mention her father's appearance, saying that half of the credit went to her father. As a result, the child had developed feelings for her father's tablet and often told the tablet about what happened in her daily life. Especially after she saw the child kneeling on the ground crying and picking up the debris after she stepped on the tablet, she suddenly realized that her behavior just now was indeed excessive. If this was an ignorant child, she would have started throwing tantrums and making a scene with her long ago. How could she comfort her after knowing the truth? Men are unreliable, and children are the most caring. With tears in his eyes, Zhou Li patted the back of his daughter's head. A strange conflict between the parents came to an abrupt end when Zhou Ling advised them to be well. At this time, Sheng Yuan, who was still sitting in the arena watching the game, suddenly turned his head and sneezed loudly! All the cultivators present who had reached the level of Divine Transformation and were able to see through his concealment skills were startled by his sneeze and turned their heads sharply, staring at him without blinking. Sheng Yuan was also very puzzled. He was only one step away from ascending to the fairyland. He had the body of a half-immortal, not a mortal. Why did he sneeze out of nowhere? "The wind is a little chilly today, so I told you to wear more clothes, but you refused to listen. Come, let me tie them on for you." That gentle and affectionate voice sounded in my ears again. Sheng Yuan frowned and turned his head, his eyes falling on the cloak. "Shengxia, didn't I give you any face just now?" Feeling Sheng Yuan's expression getting colder, Shengxia's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously shrank her neck. "Stay...stay." "Then take off this tattered cloak of yours." Sheng Yuan's tone was calm, but his slightly clenched fists proved that he had reached his limit of patience with this child.
"But Yuan, this cloak was made by me..." With a whoosh! Before Sheng Xia finished speaking, the cape on Sheng Yuan's shoulders suddenly caught fire! In the blink of an eye, not even ashes were left. The ashes were blown by the breeze and spread across the sky. "Go away." Sheng Yuan lowered his eyes and rubbed his brows. He was so annoyed that he didn't want to say another word to the child. They both have the surname Sheng, but this child is just a branch of a branch of a branch of the Sheng family. The bloodline of the Sheng family in their branch is not just thin, it is completely non-existent! But this young girl named Sheng Xia, for some unknown reason, was so outstanding that she was favored by the ancestor of the Sheng family and was taken in as his adopted daughter. She should have been her ancestor's age, but ever since she became the old ancestor's adopted daughter, she began to take the initiative to get close to him, calling him "A Yuan A Yuan" all day long, which made Sheng Yuan very upset. Even if the Sheng family bloodline in this child has already been diluted and there is no blood relationship with him, I am still her nominal ancestor! How dare she! How dare she openly show her affection to me like this! It's simply... no, it's shameless! Sheng Yuan originally didn't care about vain things like fame, but ever since this youngster named Sheng Xia openly pursued him, everyone in the sect started looking at him with something strange in their eyes. It was just the perspective of others. At first, he didn't care much, until the rumors became more and more numerous. Some arrogant juniors even dared to embarrass him in person when they saw that he looked easy to talk to. These include but are not limited to his own spiritual medicine fields being vandalized in the sect, the pills he was selling being maliciously underpriced, and him being deliberately harassed when doing things in the sect's deacon hall, etc. Sometimes Sheng Yuan really wants to look up and ask the sky. Oh my god! What is wrong with this world? All in all, the time he has lived in this world has exceeded the limit of the Spirit Transformation Stage. As an ancestor who participated in the war of destruction, so many people outside respect and adore him. But in the end, just because a weirdo like Shengxia appeared in his own sect, his identity as an ancestor could be trampled on at will? But they are all our own family. If you hit them lightly, they won't remember it, but if you hit them hard, they will hold a grudge. No matter how calm Sheng Yuan was, he was almost going to have a mental breakdown after being angered so many times. Fortunately, I stopped giving them face later on. When I saw something was not right, I would directly confront them, scolding them and beating them. And the situation became a little better. The group of ignorant youngsters in the sect were intimidated, but this guy named Shengxia, relying on the support of the ancestor, was still relentless and almost followed him wherever he went. As long as Sheng Yuan's itinerary is transparent, this woman will definitely appear nearby and act coquettishly. Sheng Yuan was so angry that he pointed at her nose and asked her several times, "Are you a follower that turned into a spirit?" Anyone with a bit of dignity would definitely stay away if they knew Sheng Yuan’s attitude. But Shengxia is different. She is as thick-skinned as a city wall. Relying on the favor and support of the ancestor, she pursues men wholeheartedly, to the point of being crazy and reckless. No matter how Sheng Yuan refused, she never showed any sign of giving up.
