When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman appeared outside the door, leading a mischievous child who was carrying a large bag of food, and accompanied by a simple-minded dog. The woman coldly watched the "father and son" who were about to start fighting again in the ruins.

Su Ming didn't need to see who was coming; just looking at the incredibly sharp kitchen knife on the ground in front of him, he knew that the next battle was over.

He immediately retracted the black, serrated dagger into his tattered sleeve, fitting it snugly against his arm bone, without the slightest hesitation or wariness.

His gaze fell on the dog at his feet, which was making strange "woof woof woof" sounds, as if it were explaining something.

Suddenly, the honest and simple-minded dog appeared beside him, circling around him with its shifty little eyes seemingly scrutinizing him to see if any parts were missing.

The dog's honest and simple face was full of grievance and self-blame, clearly knowing that it had failed in its mission to protect Su Ming, resulting in Su Ming suffering such serious injuries.

There was no other way; Su Ming's situation was extremely dire. Under normal circumstances, if it were an ordinary person, they should be sent to the emergency room first, then the morgue, then the funeral home, and finally the crematorium.

However, judging from his current appearance, he was energetic and jumping around like a dying man, making it impossible to determine his true condition.

Unable to assess the situation, the dog could only stand in front of Su Ming, acting as a natural barrier that served both as an obstacle and a protector.

If the terrifying monster in front of it hadn't been its master's "father," it probably would have gone to mess with him this morning.

Looking at the silly dog ​​standing in front of me like a guard,

A strange expression also appeared on Su Ming's face, and his eyes rippled as he reached out his dirty right hand to rub the dog's head.

He knew very well that the silly dog ​​was the weakest member of the family.

Even without Mom's help, a mischievous kid can handle it.

Transferring it away would be an extremely simple matter.

At this moment, the fact that the silly dog ​​dared to stand in front of him and face the terrifying monster directly proved its loyalty.

Without a doubt, if Stupid Dog had been there during the battle just now, he would most likely have jumped out to fight alongside Su Ming without the slightest hesitation.

no way,

It's just a stupid dog.

The only person it saw was Su Ming.

The terrifying monster silently watched its wife and youngest son approach, then glanced at the dog that was subtly blocking Su Ming's path. The gloom and anger on its face gradually dissipated.

The grotesque monster's body shrank rapidly, making crackling sounds, and compressed back into its original shape, donning a fake human skin and reverting to its middle-aged appearance.

As the battle came to an end with the return of other family members, the viewers in China watching the live stream breathed a sigh of relief.

The sight of the terrifying monster coming back to life and putting its head back on had terrified them.

This ability is so damn cheating!

Like an unkillable undead creature.

Under these circumstances, how could Su Ming possibly defeat his opponent!

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the mother returned with the mischievous child and stopped everything in time.

The high-ranking officials of other countries watched this scene with regret. In their eyes, Su Ming's existence was far too important to the Dragon Kingdom; he was its hope for rise.

It can even influence the changing landscape of the world.

In this situation, most countries are unwilling to see the rise of the Dragon Kingdom and would prefer to see Su Ming fall, thus interrupting this upward trend.

The presence of a bald eagle overhead was already becoming unbearable for them.

If there were another, even more powerful dragon nation, that would be terrible.

However, it now seems that such hope is about to be dashed!

Su Ming is not going to die.

The world of ghost stories.

Ignoring her silent husband, "Mom" looked at her miserable "eldest son" with her dark, unsettling eyes, a hint of heartache rising deep within them.

She was naturally aware of her husband's actions, but out of some selfish considerations, she did not refuse; otherwise, she would not have been so easily sent away.

In her mind, when they returned, they would see a "happy" family, where everyone could be together forever.

However, the result was not only somewhat disappointing, but it also made her feel heartbroken.

The two men in the house, who were the only two in the family, actually fought to this extent. They not only destroyed their home, but also fought downstairs. They were both incredibly stubborn, and neither of them was willing to back down.

The husband's situation seems to have been just a minor setback, but Su Ming's situation is much worse; he looks like he's about to die.

If we had been any later, one of us might have died.

The younger brother, looking at the scene before him, couldn't help but swallow hard. His gaze towards Su Ming was complex, with a hint of admiration mixed in.

After a moment of silent staring, "Mom" suddenly looked at "Dad" behind her, whose face was grim, and said in a hoarse voice:

"The child is old enough to make his own choices."

"Dad" gave a cold snort, looking like he was in a bad mood, but he didn't refute it.

Ignoring her husband behind her, "Mom" looked at Su Ming in front of her, and her hoarse, strange voice softened, as if she had returned to normal.

"The moment I saw you, I knew you didn't belong here. You were too out of place in this world. With your personality, you wouldn't easily stay in one place. This place was destined not to be your final destination. Perhaps in your eyes, we are just passersby, but we consider you family."

We meant no harm, we just hoped you could stay, but that's obviously impossible.

Su Ming fell silent.

He could feel the sincerity in his "mother".

Of all her family members, she was the most insightful, yet also the most hesitant.

Ultimately, she was just a mother who hoped her family could be reunited and not separated.

However, at the last moment, this hesitation turned into relief.

A notification tone suddenly sounded in his ear.

Family love is both selfish and selfless. They want to keep you by their side, like a cage holding a fledgling bird about to soar, so the family can stay together forever. But seeing your perseverance, they silently choose to let go, watching you leave, leave this long-confined cage, and experience a wider sky.
