The Law of Food Raising - 6

Chapter 6 - Oya Royal Family

On this day, Samus took Hua Duo out of the confined yard and brought her to the flower hall.

"Duoduo," Samus put his hands on her shoulders and asked cautiously, "Are you willing to be my adopted daughter?"

Adopted daughter? Hua Duo's eyes widened. She's already a thousand years old. She's old enough to be a foster mother several times!

"What? Don't you want to?" Samus touched his chin and looked at her quietly.

Hua Duo shook his head.

"When you shake your head, do you mean you are 'unwilling' to be my adopted daughter, or are you 'not unwilling' to be my adopted daughter?"

Hua Duo: "..." Such awkward language... Should she shake her head or nod?

"If you have no objection, then I will treat you as agreeing." Samus held her in his arms. "You know, I may not live for long. If I die, Kavos may not be able to protect you. But, if you become my adopted daughter, the Oya family in the royal city will be your backing."

The Oya family? Hua Duo looked confused.

Samus explained: "The Oya family is the descendant of King Se and has a history of thousands of years. This is why Wangcheng dare not k*ll me easily. They schemed against me before, and I'm afraid they paid a heavy price. Although our family is gradually declining, but we can't be easily messed with.”

Hua Duo was confused when she heard this.

"So, Duoduo, for your safety, will you be my adopted daughter?"

Hua Duo thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. As Samus said, without strong protection, she would have difficulty in this world. As a rabbit spirit, she has no other means of self-protection except using a few simple spells.

Samus smiled with satisfaction, lowered his head and kissed Hua Duo's eyes.

He probably didn't expect at this moment that he would regret this decision soon. Adopting Hua Duo as his adopted daughter was simply the most terrible decision in his life!

A few days later, the transplanted grapes had grown tender strips, leaning on the bracket like a newborn.

Different from the original dark purple, the grapevines that have been cultivated are emerald green, crystal clear, and exude a charming luster. Samus couldn't help but stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it, but was stopped by a small hand.

Hua Duo pointed at Samus' nails and looked at him disapprovingly. Doesn't this man know that his nails are as cold as weapons? What if the delicate vines are cut off?

She ran back to the room, but after a while she ran back again, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and motioned for Samus to sit down.

Samus sat on the stone bench, while Hua Duo sat casually beside his legs, grabbed his big hand, and began to trim his nails.

Samus stared at the little girl's focused profile, his expression softening unconsciously. After a while, Hua Duo suddenly raised her head and looked at him eagerly.

"What's wrong?" Samus touched her head.

Hua Duo raised one of his fingers and tried her best, but could not even cut off half of his nail.

"Pfft." Samus tilted his head, his broad shoulders shaking slightly.

Don’t think that I don’t know you are smiling just because you turn your face away! Hua Duo glared at Samus fiercely.

"Hahaha..." Samus held Hua Duo on his lap and comforted her with a smile, "Go back and ask Wei Chen to prepare a nail clipper for you. That one will save you effort."

Snort!

"Come." Samus' big hand wrapped Hua Duo's hand completely, pulling her to cut his nails together.

Samus' hands are thick and strong, while Hua Duo's hands are slender and white. The two hands overlap, forming a strong contrast. Samus played with Hua Duo's fingers in fascination and couldn't put it down.

Hua Duo felt itchy under his touch and quickly retracted her hand, trying to get off his lap.

Samus held her waist and refused to let her leave. His eyes accidentally caught sight of the temporary ID card around her neck. He took off the card and pressed it with his finger, and Hua Duo's basic information was immediately displayed on it.

Name: "Wei" Duoduo? Samus raised his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably unhappy. She should be called "Duoduo Oya".

Age: 12. It was indeed so small, he sighed secretly.

In fact, when Wei Chen asked about her age, Hua Duo made an "eighteen" gesture. As a result, Butler Wei preconceived that it was "twelve". Why do they think Hua Duo is so young? She doesn't look like she is eighteen years old. In fact, the average lifespan of a Thuronian is 300 years old, and they are considered adults at the age of 45. Even if it is really written as 18, she's still gonna be considered as a minor.

The average height of adult men is 185 centimeters (6 feet), and the average height of women is 172 centimeters (5 feet and 6 inches). Hua Duo's height of 164 centimeters (around 5 feet and 3 inches) is comparable to that of an average twelve-year-old boy. Obviously, Hua Duo is not only the only bunny spirit in the world, but also the shortest adult in the world.

Samus is 217 centimeters tall (7 feet and 1 inch). Poor Hua Duo can only look up at him. No wonder people hug her all the time.

"You are too thin, weighing less than 50kg." Samus gently squeezed Hua Duo's arm.

Her height and weight are very standard on Earth! The fact is that you people from Thuran are too far ahead! It's completely unscientific to grow so huge even though the nutritional value of food is so low, isn't it?

"Are you only drinking water lately?" Samus rubbed Hua Duo's belly and asked, "Is that enough?"

Every time he sees Hua Duo staring at the food, he feels uncomfortable. Even adults with strong bodies cannot survive for more than a month on just water. Is Duoduo's ability to resist hunger a bit too strong? Maybe that's why she's so thin, because she's constantly hungry?

Hua Duo shook her head and said it was okay. As long as the grapes were ripe, she would not have to starve!

With the quality of the black grapes and her spiritual energy, the ripening time can be at least two or three times faster than usual, and the first crop can be harvested in about a month.

"My Lord, someone from the Oya family in Wangcheng is here." Wei Chen's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Samus let go of Hua Duo, and after giving some instructions, he followed Wei Chen to the front hall.

Oya is a royal family that has been inherited from King Se for thousands of years, but now it has declined. The title of "royal family" exists in name only and has become a historical glory.

Samus is a direct descendant of the Oya family and took over the position of Lord of Kavos when he became an adult. But this is not a good thing. Kavos is a borderland far away from the Royal City. It is surrounded by dense mutant plants on three sides. Once a vegetation outbreak occurs, Kavos will be the first to face the fate of being destroyed.

Once Kavos is destroyed, the entire Oya family will be implicated, so the interests of the Oya family are closely linked to Samus.

Samus strode into the hall. A tall and graceful woman in the hall heard the noise and turned around, revealing a gorgeous appearance.

"Cousin Della." Samus nodded towards the woman.

"Samus, you're still alive, that's great!" Della came over and opened her arms to give him a hug after a long absence.

Samus avoided her mercilessly and asked, "What's the news from the Royal City?"

"Still so indifferent." Della sat casually on the chair, one leg straddling the coffee table, not caring about being exposed.

Most of the women on Thuran are open-minded and like to show off their figures in front of men.

The figure of Hua Duo flashed through Samus' mind. Unlike women nowadays, she was gentle, well-behaved, charming, and occasionally a little introverted. Samus found that he preferred this type of woman.

"You intercepted a large amount of goods in the Royal City, and those people are angry." Della played with the ring on her finger and said casually, "They held a joint meeting and requested that you be removed from the position of lord."

"Remove? For what reason?" Samus sneered. He never leaves any evidence of his robberies. The group of worms who rely on the ability of the Thousand Miles Tree will leave the confines of the royal city and directly send troops to attack Kavos if they dare. Without the Thousand Miles Tree, they are nothing. There is no net planting, no psychic powers, no clairvoyance, and no teleportation. It is purely overestimating one's capabilities to face Kavos head-on with magic weapons.

Della looked at the vine pattern that had spread to his neck: "As long as you are dead, they will no longer need a reason."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them. I'm not going to die so soon." Samus eyes were cold, his face was ferocious, and he exuded murderous intent.

Della fell silent, and then said after a long while: "The chance of survival after being parasitized by a parasitic vine is...zero."

"Maybe I can create a miracle." The appearance of Thousand Miles Tree is a miracle.

Della felt that there seemed to be something in his words, so she sat up straight and asked, "Have you found a solution?"

Samus thought for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll take you to meet someone."

Della immediately jumped up and asked with interest: "Who is it?"

"My adopted daughter." Samus spit out three words.

"Oh, adopted daughter... adopted daughter?!" Della looked incredulous. This must not be true. How does Samus look like someone who can raise a daughter? He doesn't even want to get married!

"Wait." Seeing that Samus had walked out of the hall, Della hurried to catch up.

After asking all the way, Samus didn't say a word, which made Della extremely curious.

At this moment, Samus footsteps suddenly stopped, his body sank, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee, causing a crack in the ground. He lowered his head, his back arched, and the vine patterns on his skin squirmed like insects, as if they were trying to tear his body apart.

"Samus!" Della quickly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by him.

Della staggered a few steps and hit her back hard against the wall.

The coercion on Samus' body was released uncontrollably, making Della unable to move, her blood flowing rapidly, and her breathing difficult.

Della looked ugly and tried her best to resist.

"My Lord." Wei Chen and Guze rushed over. As soon as they got within three meters of Samus, they were forced back by a powerful force.

"The parasitic vine has become active again." Guze took out a syringe, "I must inject him with suppressive drugs as soon as possible. Find a way to restrain him."

Wei Chen immediately sent someone to call Chi Xiao. In the entire Kavos, he was the only one with a strength comparable to Samus.

Samus' eyes were red, his veins were bulging, and he looked very scary.

"No, we don't have time to wait for Chi Xiao." Guze strode forward, but before he could touch Samus, there was a bang and his three fingers were broken.

"Ah!" Guze covered his fingers and stepped back, and the syringe in his hand fell to the ground.

Della was horrified when she saw how Samus was driven crazy by the parasitic vine. Being able to break other people's fingers with just coercion, Samuel's strength is indeed extraordinary, but at this moment, his strength has become an obstacle to his treatment.

"My Lord!" Wei Chen did not expect that the parasitic vine would become so active this time. Perhaps it was because Hua Duo was there before and the parasitic vine had been dormant quietly without any movement, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Wait, Hua Duo!

Just as he was thinking about her, he suddenly saw a pretty figure approaching from far away, with long black hair drawing a beautiful line in the air.
