Reversing Life

"I'll take this hat as your reward for this victory. You don't mind it, do you, little duke?"

The little guy squatted on the hat in a dignified sitting posture, stretched out a small furry paw, and patted the hand he stretched out. The crowd behind him laughed again.

Mu Yunxian stood at the end, watching them make a fuss, with a smile in his eyes, and did not go up to disturb them. The little guy has been receiving special training from Mu Yunxian at night for the past two days. He was tormented by Chongming. This time he can come out to bully others, which can be said to be a relaxation.

Someone came to him at some point. He looked gentle and elegant. He looked at the little guy and the guards over there with curiosity. After watching for a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Mu Yunxian beside him: "When did the little duke become so powerful?"

"Don't you know?" Mu Yunxian looked at him in surprise: "Maybe it was during the years when he left. He recognized his master on Earth and taught him well."

The middle-aged man with a gentle appearance couldn't help laughing. He said: "Did you recognize me?"

Mu Yunxian was not surprised that he said this. He replied in a gentle voice: "It's not just me who recognized you, duke."

In the time they were talking, looking back at the group of people who were making a fuss over there, many of them had already restrained themselves. Looking at the middle-aged man standing here, it was not right to continue making a fuss, nor was it right to stop making a fuss. It seemed that he had a headache.

Mu Yunxian's next move completely saved them. He used the etiquette he had learned in the past few days to give a very standard salute to the middle-aged man: "Hello, Duke."

"Please stand up too." The Duke said: "I don't think you need to be so polite..."

This scene was finally noticed by the little guy. When he saw this familiar yet unfamiliar person, he couldn't help but shrink a little in his expression and movements, and subconsciously took a step back. Mu Yunxian waved to him and said: "Xiao Cen, come here."

The furry little ball finally moved. He jumped down from the high platform and saluted his biological father whom he hadn't seen for a long time in animal form. The Duke looked down at him, stopped smiling, and said in a light voice: "You remember the etiquette well. I thought you thought you wouldn't come back, so you simply forgot everything."

The little guy lowered his head and didn't move.

Seeing this, the Duke stopped talking to him and chuckled to Mu Yunxian: "I have asked the housekeeper to prepare a banquet. We will have a good chat in the evening."

Mu Yunxian said: "Then it would be disrespectful to refuse."

The Duke nodded to Mu Yunxian again and then left with a group of people. After he finally left the training ground, the whole space seemed to be filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Although the little ball on the ground was still standing, it was obvious that he seemed to have escaped from death and was much more relaxed.

Mu Yunxian picked him up and smiled at him: "You are lucky."

The little guy raised his head and called him ignorantly: "Meow?"

Mu Yunxian curled his lips lightly, but did not continue this topic, just asked him: "Do you still want your spoils?"

The little guy then remembered the guard hat he had just snatched, struggled to get out of Mu Yunxian's arms, rushed to the hat, meowed twice, and a group of guards laughed. The person who took care of the little guy came forward and took him away with the hat.

.

The Duke returned to the mansion very suddenly without notifying anyone. After knowing that he had returned and went to the training ground, the Duchess was so angry that she smashed the cup in front of her.

"My hat is your reward for this victory. You don't mind it, do you, little Duke?"

The little guy squatted on the hat in a dignified sitting posture, stretched out a small furry paw, patted his outstretched hand, and the crowd behind laughed again.

Mu Yunxian stood at the end, watching them make a fuss, with a smile in his eyes, and did not go up to disturb them. In the past two days, the little guy has been receiving special training from Mu Yunxian at night, and was tormented by Chongming.

The little guy lowered his head and remained motionless.

Seeing this, the Duke stopped talking to him and chuckled at Mu Yunxian: "I have already asked the butler to hold a banquet. Let's have a good chat in the evening."

Mu Yun said leisurely: "That would be disrespectful."

The Duke nodded to Mu Yunxian again and left with a group of people. After he finally left the training ground, the entire space seemed to be filled with a relaxing atmosphere. Although the small group on the ground was still standing, it was obvious that he seemed to have escaped from death and was much more relaxed.

Mu Yunxian picked him up and smiled at him: "You are lucky."

The little guy raised his head and called out to him in confusion: "Meow?"

Mu Yunxian slightly raised the corners of his lips, but stopped continuing the topic. He just asked him: "Do you still want your trophy?"

The little guy then remembered the guard hat he had just snatched, struggled out of Mu Yunxian's arms, rushed to the hat, meowed twice, and a group of guards laughed, and the person who took care of the little guy walked up In front of him, he took his hat away with him.

.

The Duke's return to the palace was sudden, without informing anyone. After knowing that he was back and going to the training ground, the Duchess was so angry that she threw the cup in front of her.

"It's just a bloodline, why is it so important! It's just a disabled person who can't turn into a human form at the age of twelve or thirteen. Is it worthy of being treated like this? What does it mean to go and see it as soon as you come back? Are you guarding me?"

The maid with bloodstains on her arms stepped forward, squatted on the ground, picked up the broken pieces of the cup, and comforted her softly: "Madam, please calm down, the Duke must not have meant this."

"What does that mean..." She lost her anger and sat far away, but suddenly felt uneasy. If her husband has been paying attention to that little thing, then what she did a few days ago...

"No, it won't happen." The Duchess calmed down, tried hard to suppress her emotions, and said, "Get ready for me, I want to see the Duke."

"The Duke has arrived." Someone said outside the door.

She hurriedly adjusted her posture to make sure she looked dignified enough, and looked in the direction of the door. The Duke had already walked in at this time. He had changed his clothes and looked no different from usual. However, when he saw the Duchess, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's just... I'm just happy that Xiao Cen is back." The Duchess was comforted by her husband, and suddenly felt as if she could no longer hold back her grievances. Her nose became sore and she whispered: "You... you I also know that the child..."

"What did he do to you again?" The Duke sat on the edge and asked this question as if unintentionally.

"It's just like before..." the Duchess said: "He still refuses to take medicine, but how can he get better without taking medicine? He stopped taking medicine for several years, and he doesn't know what impact it will have on his patients, but he Not only did they reject me, they also hated Luli and refused to let her get close..."

The Duchess pulled her maid over and showed the scars on her arms: "After all, Luli has grown up watching him. He doesn't even respect Luli. This is too..."

Her tone was full of pure grievance and worry. If someone who didn't know the cause and effect listened to it, they would definitely feel that what she did as a mother was very wronged. After hearing her cry, the Duke hummed noncommittally. His voice paused for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Where are those medicines?"

"Yet... we haven't written a prescription yet..." The Duchess was stuck for two seconds, and then said stumblingly: "Lu Li and I only went to see him once that day. Seeing that he reacted too much, we didn't go again. We thought Waiting for your return..."

"Okay then." The Duke responded calmly: "I will host a banquet tonight and invite high-level warriors from the earth. You can come too. You are his mother. If you have any misunderstandings with him, you should make it clear. ”

The Duchess was very moved: "You have said so, he will definitely understand me..." She calmed down, and then asked: "What about what I told you last time, do you still remember? It is the use of genes The eggs of Curry's superior female Nebula Leopard regenerated into a new generation The matter of a child..." She forced a smile: "I was too ignorant some time ago, I should understand your difficulties... This is good for everyone. After all, Xiao Cen is still sick. If there is a strong His younger brothers and sisters will also be relied upon in the future.”

The Duke remained silent, listening to what she said intermittently, and finally said softly: "No hurry, let's talk later."

"Huh?" The duchess suddenly felt very uneasy. She comforted herself a few words in her heart, calmed herself down, and said reluctantly: "Okay."

On the other side of the mansion, Mu Yunxian took the little guy back to his room.

He seemed to react more to meeting his father than to meeting his abusive stepmother. The little guy wilted a lot. After Mu Yunxian took him back to the room, he lay on the trophy he had just obtained and softly called to Mu Yunxian.

"Are you afraid?" Mu Yunxian lowered his eyes and asked him, "What are you afraid of?"

The little guy howled twice more. After listening to his words, Mu Yunxian said, "You're right."

After receiving Mu Yunxian's approval, the little guy seemed to be even more wilted. What he just said was that he felt that his father didn't care about him at all. In fact, this is indeed the case. In the past, the little guy was a sick child. In the orc world, this disease was almost impossible to cure, and it was no different from a disability.

People like the Duke would never set their sights on worthless things, including their own children. In his opinion, it was up to his wife to say and do what she wanted to do to this disabled child. If he wants to stop her, that means he has to be distracted by this matter. He is very busy and has no intention of caring about what is happening at home. It is easiest for him to let everything happen.

But this is a very sad story for the little guy. The only father who could protect him chose to turn a blind eye to his situation. In his opinion, it seemed that his father who could not see him at all frightened him more than his ferocious stepmother. Mu Yunxian, who had seen the little guy's memories, completely understood his mood. For this reason, Mu Yunxian lowered his eyes and asked him, "Do you want to change everything?"

The little guy nodded, then shook his head, as if hesitating.

"If I'm not wrong, this is your last chance." Mu Yunxian said: "Before you ran away from home, your disease was not cured after several years of treatment. Your father is willing to get you back, and It’s not that I just forgot about you. It was already an accident.” He lowered his eyes and said, “If you can’t let him see you again, he will never see you again.”

The little guy froze in action.

"You know very well, don't you? I didn't lie to you." Mu Yunxian said quietly: "You are a smart child. From the moment you decided to come back, you knew very well what you were facing, right? I'll leave it to you. Time is running out.”

Seeing his blue eyes full of fear, Mu Yunxian finally sighed softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mu Yunxian himself didn't know how useful Mu Yunxian's words were to the little guy. The root cause of the drastic change in the little guy's temperament in his previous life was that his adoptive father was killed. From then on, the little guy who lost his last support finally gained the consciousness of independent struggle and dared to face his unfair fate and his malicious father.

This time, with Mu Yunxian's help, he had more room to breathe, so he began to escape again. Mu Yunxian helped him deal with his stepmother, allowing him to take a breather, but when facing his father, Mu Yunxian clearly told him that he could no longer retreat. This made him feel very anxious.

In fact, Mu Yunxian knew that he had another chance to turn around, and that was what Mu Yunxian saw from his memory today. For the little guy, this was something that was enough to change his mind, but Mu Yunxian didn't say anything. The innocent and naughty little guy is cute, but he can't live without growing up.

At night, the housekeeper knocked on the door and took Mu Yunxian and the little guy out to the restaurant, where his father and stepmother were already waiting. But everyone knew that they were not here to eat.

His father saw his second son and the master he picked up from the earth coming over. He stood up and smiled lightly at Mu Yunxian: "Please sit down."

Mu Yun sat down leisurely. The little guy sat opposite Mu Yunxian, his whole body shrinking into a ball as if he was frightened.

"I originally planned to tell you this as soon as I saw you, but after thinking about it later, I thought it would be better to be more solemn." The Duke tapped his fingertips on the table and said, "Then I will tell you directly, your After your brother passed away, I decided to use the eggs left behind by your deceased mother to bring you back, mainly because I wanted to know the reason for your disability..."

Mu Yun was idle, and the Duke spoke unceremoniously: "I know you may be living a good life during this period, and it's my fault to disturb your life. You don't need to do anything to study the cause of your illness. I just need to draw some blood from you. After the study is over, just stay at home and I will compensate you."

"With all due respect..." Mu Yunxian interrupted him, then lengthened his tone and said in a meaningful tone: "The compensation you mentioned is to leave him at home and ignore him as before. , let your wife abuse you?”

"You said abuse? Are you exaggerating?" The Duke said calmly: "How could something like this happen in the Duke's palace? The child attacks the mother and the stepmother abuses the child. This is a scandal. Even if it occurs, it will not appear here."

"Did you hear that?" Mu Yunxian smiled softly and said to the little guy, "Your father is finally giving up on you completely."

The Duke frowned slightly when he heard Mu Yunxian's words. The little guy suddenly jumped up on the table, looked directly at him, bared his teeth and screamed.

"What are you doing? What do you mean?" the Duchess exclaimed, covering her lips and angrily scolding him. Although there was fear in the Duchess's voice, she was actually very gloating.

"Shut up." The Duke stopped her directly: "Don't make a sound." He looked directly at the child he had never seen directly, and said in a longer voice: "You mean you want to challenge me? "

The little guy screamed again.

"Since he is your child, why not give him such a chance?" Mu Yunxian shrugged and said warmly: "As a father, of course he has the obligation to guide his children to contact him. Isn't this a scandal?"

The Duke suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked at Mu Yunxian: "Did you teach him to do this?"

"Actually, not really." Mu Yunxian said, "I am surprised and pleased that he had the courage to do such a thing today."

The Duke's expression didn't look angry at all, so Mu Yunxian continued: "He has always been a lazy child. To me, I am his master. You may not understand that on earth, The relationship between master and disciple is not much different from that between father and son. "

"So you teach him to challenge his father?" The Duke said bluntly: "In the world of orcs, if a male challenges another male, he is seeking death, even if the cub is challenging his father..."

"But you can't see him." Mu Yun said leisurely: "Don't take it so seriously. It's just because you can't see him that the child is very sad. He wants to prove to his father that he can be excellent. Is this wrong?" After Mu Yunxian said this, he paused and continued: "If he can let you see him, then how about you do something a father should do?"

"Okay." The Duke suddenly laughed softly: "Come here, little guy."

The Duke took off his coat, and the reminder suddenly grew in size and turned into his own prototype. It was a leopard that was three meters long. He had blue eyes similar to the little guy's - the little guy's eye color should have been inherited from him, but these eyes, the way he looked at the little guy now, were not that... gentle.

The hairball, which was only a little big, looked as childish and cute as a toy in front of this giant beast. Mu Yun sat leisurely in the distance, looking at the father and son who were not picky and started fighting in the restaurant. The little guy took the lead in launching the attack. Mu Yunxian could conclude that this was his best performance in the recent period. If he could perform like this this morning, maybe within three moves, he could defeat that male. It's not necessarily possible that the lion orc's hat would be torn into pieces.

The target of the little guy's attack was the Duke's eyes. He moved so quickly that the human shell Mu Yunxian was wearing could only see an afterimage. However, in front of the adult Nebula Leopard, this speed is not enough. With a slight movement of the adult Nebula Leopard's big paw, the little guy flew out, as casually as if he was playing with a ball that flew out of nowhere. .

The little guy hit the pillar of the restaurant with a muffled sound. Diagonally opposite Mu Yunxian, the duchess let out a scream.

The little guy didn't give himself any room to heal the wound. He turned over and climbed up. As if provocative, he yelled at the Duke again. This time, everyone else in the restaurant had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

If just now, the little guy's roar at his father could barely be called a child's coquettishness towards his father - he wanted to practice with his father, this time, it was completely a male challenge to another male.

The Duke's blue eyes narrowed slightly. He stood there, moved his forelimbs, and stared calmly at the scarred child.

The little guy rushed over again. This time he seemed to have completely lost his sense of control and was about to fight to the death.

The adult Nebula Leopard jumped up and easily held down the little guy with its forelimbs. It pointed its sharp teeth at his throat and was about to bite him——

Many people were afraid to watch this scene.

"You win." However, a human word suddenly came out of the adult Nebula Leopard's throat: "At your age, I don't have the guts to challenge your grandfather."

The Duke turned back to a human and said to the little guy on the ground: "Think about it, what do you want?"
