Travel through the daily life of the dragon clan

Chapter 540: Hello, this is the Utsunomiya family

Su Enxi curled her lips, "How did it become like this?"

"I'm trapped by those things," Jiude Mai pointed to the ground beside her, where the battle records were just taken out of her body, "If it weren't for the ancient dragon serum that strengthened my body, I would have died. Once the locking agent is injected, the water pressure alone will be enough to kill me."

"I've already imagined it. Then how did you escape?"

"I didn't understand this before, but I understood it after seeing him." Jiude Mai didn't turn around, but Su Enxi's gaze stayed on Zhuo for a moment, and Jiude Mai continued: "The Trieste was brought back to about 3000 meters by the shock wave and stopped. The three people originally planned to rise to the surface by buoyancy, but the escaped corpse guards and ghost tooth vipers quickly caught up and the body was damaged again. Once the Trieste cracks, we will be finished. I can only stay there to attract them, but there are too many of them, and those things are very smart. Even with my strengthened body, I can't stop them. To be honest, I thought it was over. The Trieste was just a piece of eggshell left, and it was a leaking eggshell. Unexpectedly, under this circumstance, the Trieste began to rise again, and those corpse guards were only concerned with performing underwater ballet and didn't care about us."

"I didn't expect that I almost couldn't come back after being injected with the ancient dragon serum. Neon is indeed a hard mode battlefield. There are too many monsters here." Su Enxi said quietly.

Although she was talking to Jiude Mai, Su Enxi glanced at Zhuo.

Even so, as the person involved, Zhuo actually didn't have any idea. The result of vector operation + great sage was that no matter how shocking the things he did were, Zhuo would not feel any reality. To be more precise, Zhuo felt that he was more like a terminal controller, only responsible for pressing the switch. As for calculation and execution, they felt very distant to him.

Of course, Zhuo was still a little angry when he heard being called a monster. He stared at Su Enxi and said:
"From a biological point of view, I am the only normal person here. One of you just degenerated from a python, and one of you has blood that can cause that kind of degeneration. What qualifications do you have to call others monsters?"

Zhuo had dead fish eyes and a resentful look.

"Would a normal person stay in a hot spring pool and talk to two naked beauties without changing their expressions?"

"...Humph! Woman."

After hearing Su Enxi's ruthless words, Zhuo felt it was not convenient for him to stay here any longer. He turned around and left, leaving behind a sound of his unyielding indignation.

After Zhuo Zhen left, Jiude Mai first raised an eyebrow at Su Enxi, and his tone returned to the playful tone when they were alone.

"Stop pretending. You've already walked into the living room. I heard the curtain door being opened."

"This guy!" Su Enxi clenched her fists. "I thought he was a close friend or a good friend. Even if he had some dirty thoughts, he should have remembered how good I was to him. But men are just men."

"It's meant to comfort me, but I think it's because you were facing him. If I looked at him randomly, I'd definitely be caught by you."

The senses of the two were so sharp that even though Zhuo had tried his best to control his eyes and not do anything offensive, he would still linger uncontrollably when he encountered beautiful scenery while his vision was shaking. Even if it was only for a subconscious moment, it was enough for the two to notice.

Su Enxi certainly cared about her sudden exposure, no, it can no longer be called sudden exposure, it might be more appropriate to say that her spring light was exploding. Su Enxi certainly cared about those things, but compared to exposing her body in front of Zhuo, what made her more angry was that Zhuo kept his eyes fixed on her face when he looked at her, and always inadvertently passed over her long legs when he switched his eyes.

How abominable!

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Long Legs, did you find what the boss wanted?"

Su Enxi returned to the subject.

"I found it, but I didn't bring it with me. I hid it in a cave under the mountain before I lost consciousness. I can go get it back after I rest for a while." Jiude Mai nodded. "I found the wreckage of the Lenin at the bottom of the Abyss. The embryo is in the cabin, but it has been deformed. I can only dig out its core, and I'm not sure if it can form a new embryo."

"That's enough. Just give it to the boss later. I have to go talk to that bastard. He dares to look down on me when he needs help from others!" Su Enxi said angrily.

And Jiude Mai showed a teasing expression and said:

"Then what do you want him to do? Rush down and pin you down on the bluestone slab and execute you right there?"

Su Enxi glanced at her with disdain:
"They say that you, a Scorpio, know nothing but seducing men and fighting."

"Hmm~" Jiude Mai puffed out her chest proudly instead of feeling ashamed.

"I don't want to talk about you!" Su Enxi turned her head away.

……

This is the world on the second day after Zhuo left, a rainy spring with colors gradually spreading.

Through the kitchen window, you can also see the trees outside that are stained gray and black.

Fallen leaves floated quietly on the puddles of water on the streets.

New buds grow, fall on the water surface, and sway with the waves. They gather together as if attracted to each other. They are still beautiful even if they have lost their lives.

"Oh my, I've told you many times, Ling-chan, just leave these things to me."

"It's okay. I want to find something to do, too."

The only possible woman competing with Zero for the right to wash the dishes after meals is Utsunomiya Sachiko, Shuu's mother.

Zero was walking into the kitchen carrying stacked dishes and a wooden tray, and his eyes met with Sachiko who was about to turn back to do the finishing work. It seemed that this had happened before. Sachiko's eyes were fixed on the busy figure of her new daughter, her cheek supported by her palm with a distressed expression.

Ling understood that Sa Chiko loved her almost as her own daughter and took good care of Ling whenever she had the chance.

"Rei-chan, don't you like Japanese food?"

When Zero heard "I don't like cooking very much", he immediately understood what Sachiko was worried about.

"No, Sa Chieko's breakfast was delicious. It's my fault. I haven't had a good appetite lately. I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Is that so? Do you need to see a doctor? Thanks to the bad weather, Mom doesn't have to work recently. Can you go with Ling-chan? Or should I let my son who doesn't understand a girl's mood come back?"

After Zero parted ways with Zhuo yesterday, he was unfortunately found to have a poor appetite - in fact, it was not a sudden thing, it might be that he was not used to the sudden free time. This is what Zero himself explained to Sa Chiko.

Maybe I mistakenly thought that she was feeling lonely because Zhuo didn't come back today?
Although it can't be considered a wrong answer, these things are indeed expected. Zero had already heard from Zhuo about "what was originally going to happen in Tokyo in the future" before agreeing to Zhuo's initiative to meet Potato Chips. Zero also had some corresponding psychological preparations for what was to come - not only the fact that he would not be able to see Zhuo for a period of time, but also the fact that he had to protect Sachinko and Shuichi, these were all the results of the two people's discussion.

Therefore, Ling's loss of appetite was not due to Zhuo's neglect of family.

Having said that, Zero was unable to explain it clearly to Sachiko, which probably led to this result.

When Ling was about to explain all this, his cell phone, which had been left idle in the living room so as not to affect his work, started to make a sound.

"It's really a headache. Ling-chan doesn't trust mom to do the dishes alone. Is it because mom is not reliable enough?"

"No, no... Sorry to trouble you."

It seems that Zero is still helpless against Sa Chiko's tricks.

This was also something that could not be helped. Sa Chiko was Zhuo's mother, and now she was also her mother. Zero really couldn't treat her with a cold attitude. This was also something that Zero realized again after being stunned for countless times and not knowing how to explain. Then Zero simply rinsed the dishes he was washing and put them in the sink, took off his apron and put it on the shelf while bowing, and chose to obey Sa Chiko and walked towards the mobile phone that had been pulling her mind.

beep - beep -

drop!
The call was connected, and the slightly cool metal exterior pressed against the side of my face.

"Hello, this is the Utsunomiya family."

"..."

"Hello, this is the Utsunomiya family."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After two greetings, there was no response, so Ling had to take away his phone to confirm again, even though he knew there would be no result.

Should we say that everything has its pros and cons? A mobile phone prepared for security purposes will most likely receive calls from a secure mobile phone, so there is no way to see the other party's call information.

However, precisely because there are only a few people who know her cell phone number, Zero has strong expectations.

"Excuse me, please repeat it again."

The voice that finally came out was indeed the voice he was concerned about. After a brief thought, Zero figured out the reason and put the phone to his ear again.

"Hello, this is the Utsunomiya family."

"Hello, this is Mr. Utsunomiya. Is Mrs. Utsunomiya home?"

"Sa Chiko's mother is in the kitchen. Do you need me to call her?"

"...Hello, this is Mr. Utsunomiya. Is Mrs. Utsunomiya home?"

There was a long pause as if the connection was disconnected, and for some reason the other party repeated the previous words again. Zero didn't think that the other party was worried that she didn't hear it clearly, but this stubbornness still made her feel helpless.

Zero was silent for two seconds and then sighed helplessly.

"Yes, I am Mr. Utsunomiya's wife. May I ask what Mr. Utsunomiya wants to talk to her about?"

"Oh! Oh! So you are Mrs. Utsunomiya. Just by listening to your voice, you can tell you are a beauty!"

"wash……"

"Well, here's what happened. The beach incident has been resolved as expected. I also discussed with Ms. Enxi about helping Eri, and it went surprisingly smoothly. But should I say it's a coincidence or an accident? Going to Tokyo together is pretty much what we thought, but they seem to want to recruit "Jia no Mio". Since this is a matter between the two of us, I wanted to tell you about it."

"almost?"

"Hey, hey, even though I've seen Zero's unique angle and sensitivity countless times, is it really okay to this extent?"

"Zhuo, I'm happy that you trust me and always speak your mind without realizing it, but I'm a little worried that you can still do that over the phone."

Although he said this on the phone, his gentle expression and eyes in real life clearly did not reflect that.

"Eh??? No, that's not it..."

"Potato chips did something incredible?"

"Why, why not Miss Jude Mai?"

"…I'm sorry."

"Ah! I understand, I understand, no need to apologize, it's cool and right for Zero to keep his friends' privacy, so you don't need to pay at all."

Hearing this, Zero in reality sighed again.

Although it was just a few words, she knew Mai well enough, and knew Zhuo even better, so she had almost guessed what was going on.

"It seems like you already know. Because this is probably something more important than life to Mai, so...so what did Potato Chips do?"

For Ling, although she and Mai had many conflicts over the issue of Zhuo, Ling actually didn't believe that Mai would really get too close to Zhuo. Not only her, I believe Potato Chips also knows this. In summary, compared to Mai who only plays superficially, Potato Chips is the real problem child.

Maybe you could say old woman... This is not a criticism from Zero, but a self-proclaimed name of potato chips. When there are only three people or two of them, potato chips describe themselves in this way.

"Eh hey hey? Isn't the turn too sudden... Actually, it's not that serious. It should be called an emergency avoidance. Miss Jude Mai was in danger because she didn't get the lock injection for too long. Miss Enxi and I worked together to save her. This is probably the only difference."

The clever Ling naturally noticed the deliberately prolonged "Tai~" in Zhuo's mouth. The tacit understanding that did not need to be said had already made her understand roughly what had happened - perhaps Mai had been injecting the ancient dragon serum for a longer time than she and Zhuo had expected.

That’s pretty much what I mean.

While Ling was recalling the "future" that Zhuo had communicated to her, she was also revising the "possible future" based on the information on the phone - she was not very good at these things. In previous missions, she and Mai's roles had always been swords, and Potato Chips had always been in charge of the brain.

Even so, it doesn't mean she can't do it.

(Although it is indeed impossible to deduce the future based on existing information like potato chips.)
Ling breathed evenly and slowly sat down on the sofa. This did not take up too much of her time. In fact, she spoke again the moment she sat down.

"you saw it."

"...Wha, what? What did you see?"

This tone of lack of confidence was too familiar. Ling was also aware of this weakness. Zhuo was self-aware, but because he didn't want to really lie, he never thought about overcoming it.

——An overly obvious excuse is actually proof that one does not want to lie.

This is how Zero understood it.
