Papa Paladin

Chapter 23 introduces two friends

The old residence of the Zuo family in Linjiang welcomed a new resident.

Suddenly, there is a lot more vigor and vitality.

"Baby, this is the balcony, but you don't usually play here, because it's very high and a bit dangerous."

"Baby, this is the bathroom, will you go to the bathroom by yourself?"

"Really, that's amazing."

"This is your grandma's room, it's usually closed, don't go in."

"This is the kitchen, this is the living room..."

After settling down in Bao'er's room, Zuo Yi took her to familiarize herself with the whole house and ran from the third floor to the first floor.

Then Zuo Yi discovered that Su Wanqing, whom he had never met, had taught Baoer very well. Even though she was only four years old, she was able to go to the toilet, brush her teeth and wash her face, and even put on clothes.

It's amazing!

The key is that Bao'er is well-behaved, sensible, and obedient, not as arrogant and willful as those spoiled children.

This made Zuo Yi secretly feel grateful to Su Wanqing.

If there is a chance to find this "Aunt Qing" in Bao'er's mouth in the future, then he will definitely find a way to repay her.

As for Bao'er's biological mother, Zuo Yi didn't think about it for the time being.

He had a vague feeling that the truth would be revealed sooner or later.

For Zuo Yi, the most important thing right now is to take good care of Bao'er and accompany her to grow up happily.

At the same time make up for the regrets in your life.

"dad…"

After visiting her new home, Baoer suddenly asked: "Where is grandma? Doesn't she live at home?"

Zuo Yi smiled: "Your grandma has gone far, far away."

is the soul.

He added something in his mind, and then asked: "Do you want to see grandma?"

Boa nodded—she was curious.

Zuo Yi touched her little head, led her to the front of the closet, pointed to the picture frame on the wooden shelf and said, "Bao'er, this is your grandma."

In the mirror frame, Zuo Qingyun was gazing at the two of them tenderly.

Bao'er looked at her portrait, blinked and said softly, "Grandma."

Zuo Yi said silently in his heart: "Mom, have you seen it? This is my daughter, your granddaughter. Her name is Bao'er. She is very cute and sensible."

In the mirror frame, Zuo Qingyun still smiled.

Zuo Yi took a long breath and said, "Bao'er, let's put incense on grandma."

As he spoke, he picked up three sticks of incense sticks, and gently rubbed the tip of the incense sticks with his right thumb and forefinger, and a faint blue smoke came out immediately.

Zuo Yi asked Bao'er to hold the incense stick with both hands, and then bowed three times to Zuo Qingyun's portrait with her arms around her.

"Mom, may your spirit in heaven protect Bao'er to grow up healthily, be safe and auspicious."

After worshiping his mother, Zuo Yi put three burning incense sticks on the incense burner.

Bao'er pulled Zuo Yi by the corner of his clothes, raised his head and asked, "Daddy, can grandma hear you?"

"You see that smoke..."

Zuo Yi knelt down and hugged her, pointed to the green smoke rising from the incense stick and said, "It can convey our wishes to your grandma."

It’s not that Zuo Yi used sacrificial rituals to communicate with the souls in the endless river of Styx. The most powerful wizards can even summon ancient souls to communicate.

Zuo Yi is not a wizard, nor does he have such ability, but it is really possible to convey the voice of the living to the soul by burning incense and offering sacrifices.

It's just that there's no way of knowing whether it's successful or not.

Bao'er nodded half-understanding: "Oh."

Zuo Yi smiled and touched her head: "Good boy."

吱咕～

Suddenly he heard a strange sound, and the little girl shyly covered her belly immediately.

"Ah!"

Zuo Yi patted his head angrily: "Are you hungry? Dad will make you lunch!"

It's almost 12 o'clock now, so Bao'er must be hungry, he is really an amateur dad, I didn't even think of it just now!

Bao'er whispered, "Thank you, Dad."

Seeing her so cute, Zuo Yi couldn't help leaning over and kissing her tender cheek: "You're welcome, baby, shall we have steak for lunch?"

"Ah!"

Bao'er raised her hand to cover her face, and said, "Dad, Aunt Qing said that girls should not be kissed by boys."

"Aunt Qing is right!"

Zuo Yi clicked a thumbs up first, and then said: "But dad is an exception, except dad!"

Dad is so domineering!

Bao'er thought about it seriously for a moment, probably after going through some inner struggles, and finally nodded.

"Ok."

She decided to listen to her father.

Zuo Yi hehehe: "Okay, then you can play in the living room or in the yard outside, while Dad goes to the kitchen to cook."

Bo'er said, "Then I'll go play in the yard."

She feels very fresh about this old house, especially the big camphor tree in the yard, which looks very interesting. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"OK!"

Zuo Yi let her go outside to play, while he went to the kitchen to arrange lunch for the two of them.

Zuo Yi doesn't have much talent in cooking. He used to make fried rice with eggs and seaweed soup when he exhausted his skills. However, during those years in Sadya, he was full of grilling/frying skills.

So frying a steak couldn't be easier for him. A few days ago, he went to the supermarket to make a big purchase. The refrigerator was full of various ingredients, including quick-frozen steak, macaroni, eggs, lettuce, and seasonings.

Turn on the gas stove, set up a frying pan, pour olive oil on it, and take out the steak that has been thawed in the microwave, and soon the smell of frying and roasting beef diffuses in the kitchen.

Zuo Yi was frying the steak while cooking the macaroni in the soup pot.

Soon, a fried steak that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside was placed on a beautiful white porcelain plate by him.

Perfect!

Zuo Yi snapped his fingers triumphantly, cut off a few broccoli flowers, and prepared to put them in the soup pot to cook with the macaroni.

Then fry the eggs, and a steak meal is almost done.

"dad!" ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

At this moment, Bao'er suddenly ran in from the outside and hugged his thigh.

"what?"

Zuo Yi quickly put down the kitchen knife, knelt down and held her in his arms, and asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

He felt that the little girl was a little scared.

"dad…"

Bao'er whispered in his ear: "Outside, on the big tree outside, there are monsters."

Something strange?

Zuo Yi froze for a moment.

The next moment, he suddenly woke up!

In order to guard the house and protect the courtyard, Zuo Yi released a gargoyle, but it just squatted on the camphor tree!

It’s just that Zuo Yi is very puzzled. The gargoyle is very good at hiding, and has a certain amount of wisdom. The canopy is so dense. How did Bao’er discover its existence?

What a surprise!

But now is not the time to explore this question, the question is how Zuo Yi can dispel the little girl's fear.

Returning the Gargoyle to the Space Ring is an option.

However, there are young people coveting outside, and gargoyles can play an excellent role as a guard. If they are collected and released every day, it will be very troublesome, and the possibility of being discovered by Bao'er is even higher.

So it's better to let her accept it now, there is such a person in the family!

After thinking for a while, Zuo Yi turned the stove for cooking macaroni to the minimum, and then led Bao'er out of the kitchen to the living room.

He said to the little girl: "Baby, can Dad introduce you to two friends?"

Bao'er's attention was immediately diverted: "What friend?"

"Look carefully..."

Zuo Yi smiled mysteriously: "Father is going to cast magic!"

He took out the unicorn lotus oil lamp from the space ring, placed it on the table and pressed the four horns on the oil lamp with his fingers.

The wick in the middle of the oil lamp suddenly shines brightly.

Accompanied by bright flames rising up, the giant witch slave emerged from the flames.

It bowed to Zuo Yi in the air, and asked in a low voice: "Dear master, what are your orders?"

Bo'er opened her eyes wide, dumbstruck.

The scene that happened before her eyes was simply amazing!

Zuo Yi held her hand and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is our housekeeper. You can see that it cleans our house. It's very clean."

Zuo Yi didn't directly summon the gargoyle to show Bao'er first, because the gargoyle was ugly and he was afraid of scaring Bao'er.

Let her get to know the giant spirit witch slave first, which will undoubtedly allow her to better accept the mysterious and extraordinary things that exist at home.

Giant Witch Slave looks a lot like a Michelin tire. Although it is not as good as Zhan Wuzang, its appearance is much cuter than Gargoyle.

Bao'er had a cute face.
