Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, Xiao Wu did not show it. Instead, she smiled gently at Liu Erlong.
"I didn't expect that we have that kind of relationship, but since Wu Tong said that we have that kind of relationship, Xiao Wu will call you Erlong Mom from now on."
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Liu Erlong's face froze instantly. Oh my god, this girl Xiao Wu doesn't look any younger than me now.
I am only fifteen or sixteen years old now. If she calls me Erlong's mother all the time, it would be so embarrassing if others hear it.
"No, don't you see how old you are after you transform? You are definitely not younger than me, right? And you still call me Erlong mom? Don't I have any dignity?"
Liu Erlong had a fierce face and shook her head like a rattle. No matter whether Xiao Wu would really accept her as her stepmother, she felt that she could not be the godmother no matter what.
Xiao Wu raised her finger and pointed at Liu Erlong, and said to Tang Wutong gently: "Daughter, call your Erlong grandma a few more times, so that she can accept the reality."
Tang Wutong naturally listened to her mother very much, so she called Liu Erlong "Grandma Erlong" several times in a row, which made her so upset that she hid in Zhao Ling's arms.
"Wow, hubby, look, Xiao Wu and her daughter teamed up to bully me. Long Er is so pitiful..."
"Ahem..." Zhao Ling was immediately shocked by her pitiful look.
Something seems to be wrong with the character of this female Tyrannosaurus. Is this still the female Tyrannosaurus I remember?
Tang Wutong became more and more confused as she watched Erlong's grandmother hide in Zhao Ling's arms.
What's going on? She remembered her mother once told her that Erlong's grandmother seemed to like someone called Yu Gang. But now seeing how affectionate Erlong's grandmother and Zhao Ling were, how could she not be confused?
And the grandmother mentioned in the diary seemed to have always called the man named Zhao Ling husband. Could it be that her grandfather was the man in front of her?
It's impossible, absolutely impossible. If I were this man's granddaughter, my surname should not be Tang, but Zhao.
But no matter how confused she was, now that she could meet her mother, grandmother, and Erlong's grandmother, she felt like she was dreaming, so Tang Wutong decided to stay there with peace of mind.
That night, Zhao Ling went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and inquired about the purchase of the old house.
The current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was already worried about how to win over Zhao Ling. Now, when he heard that Zhao Ling wanted to buy his old house, he sold it to Zhao Ling at a discount and only received a few hundred thousand gold soul coins.
According to the location here and the area of the entire old house which is comparable to that of a royal palace, this old house would have to cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins to be sold.
After Zhao Ling bought the old house, he contacted a group of bricklayers through the relationship with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and began to renovate the entire old house.
Of course, it would take a lot of time to renovate this old house, and Zhao Ling also told Xue Ye that he would move out of the palace within three days, so Zhao Ling temporarily rented a mansion as his residence.
Although this mansion is not big, it is easy to accommodate their group of people.
However, when Zhao Ling and others moved out of the mansion, the hundred or so people in the palace cried, and none of them were willing to let Zhao Ling and others leave.
After all, this person had just moved into the mansion and he took out so much meat of low-level soul beasts for them to eat.
Moreover, without blinking an eye, he took out a thousand gold soul coins as pocket money for these servants. With such a generous master, these servants were of course reluctant to let them leave.
Even Butler Qian and some servants wanted to resign with Xue Ye and follow Zhao Ling and others to leave the palace.
Zhao Ling was naturally unhappy. Since he had said that he wanted to cut off all ties with the Tiandou royal family, he couldn't have any connection with them, so as to avoid the subjects of the Tiandou Empire gossiping about him again.
After being refused to follow, Steward Qian and others had no choice but to watch them leave.
After moving into the newly rented mansion, without the hundred or so servants in the palace, Zhao Ling and others felt a lot quieter. Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages, such as cooking and washing clothes that they had to do by themselves.
Zhao Ling felt sorry for his future daughters-in-law, so he posted a job announcement outside the house, specifically looking for female servants who could help with cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, etc.
Anyway, Zhao Ling has enough money now, so Zhao Ling directly raised the salary of those servants to 5 gold soul coins per month, and recruited a maximum of 20 people.
The requirement is naturally to work diligently and not to be lazy. If you are found to be lazy once, you will be fired directly.
The recruitment information of 5 gold soul coins per month quickly attracted many middle-aged women who were looking for jobs. After all, a monthly salary of 5 gold soul coins was considered very high even in Tiandou Imperial City.
Zhao Ling, A Yin and Liu Erlong spent a day strictly screening out 20 female servants, whose ages ranged from 18 to 30 years old, and whose looks were about 60-80%.
Originally, Zhao Ling had no requirements for the maids' appearance, only their gender.
After all, he now has five stunning beauties who are all famous in the original novel. He can't just watch a male servant enter the mansion and set a trap for himself.
However, A Yin and Liu Erlong have strict requirements on the appearance of the maids. They cannot be too ugly or too old.
If I were too old or too ugly, and my husband saw me, wouldn't he be turned off?
It can be said that the two of them strictly followed the regulations to select female servants, and it took them a whole day to select 20 female servants.
Zhao Ling found this outrageous. They were selecting a servant, not a concubine, so why were the requirements so strict?
With 20 servants, Zhao Ling and the other six people finally no longer had to cook and wash clothes by themselves. Their life was so comfortable and wonderful.
After recruiting these servants, Zhao Ling took Xiao Wu to the Sunset Forest, of course, in order to condense her soul ring.
The innate level 30 full soul power granted by the Transformation Pill is enough for her to condense three soul rings and directly become a Soul Master-level powerhouse, which makes Xiao Wu very excited.
The reason why he didn't condense the soul ring in that house was because he was afraid that a Titled Douluo might pass by nearby and feel something was wrong, so he took her deep into the Sunset Forest.
After arriving at the Sunset Forest, the two found a secluded place and began to condense their soul rings.
It took more than two hours for Xiao Wu to finally condense three spirit rings. Of course, the spirit skills attached to the three spirit rings are exactly the same as hers in the original book.
After the three soul rings were condensed, Xiao Wu's soul power soared directly from level 30 to level 37. With another three levels, she could condense the fourth soul ring.
However, Xiao Wu obtained a 10% improvement in her cultivation aptitude granted by the diary copy. When she was condensing her second soul ring, she actually condensed a purple soul ring that symbolized a thousand-year soul ring. This made Zhao Ling's eyes widen.
He didn't know that the diary copy actually increased Xiao Wu's cultivation aptitude by 10%. He just thought it was the effect of the transformation pill.
