No taboos in the world

Chapter 374 Ma Xiaoling's helplessness and sudden disappearance
The clear, cloudless sky suddenly turned into a heavy rain.

Ma Xiaoling, who was shopping, was instantly drenched by the heavy rain.

But she didn't rush to run away, but looked up at the sky angrily.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

Immediately, the heavy rain stopped, the space changed, and Ma Xiaoling returned to the bed and sat up.

In mid-air, the plump Madonna sat cross-legged on a cloud, looking very uncomfortable.

"Stinky girl, what good things have happened to you recently?"

Ma Xiaoling rubbed her cheeks and asked instead of answering, "Aunt, what are you doing here again?"

"I came to see you! You don't know, I see you can smile so happily even when you sleep and dream recently. Tell me the truth, are you missing a man?"

Ma Xiaoling instantly became angry and grabbed the pillow and threw it at him: "You are talking nonsense!"

Madonna floated in the air and dodged sideways. "Oh, you're so angry, it must be that!"

"No way!" Ma Xiaoling retorted with her neck stiff, but she still couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Madonna's eyes widened. "How dare you lie with your eyes open? Are you no longer close to your aunt? Huh?"

Ma Xiaoling was helpless: "Of course not, but you can't say anything nonsense!"

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not. Let me remind you again that the Ma family is a clan of exorcists and dragons. It is our duty to uphold justice and ward off evil, and to eliminate demons and defend the way. How can we have a love affair with our children?"

"Ha!" Ma Xiaoling suddenly sneered, "Aunt, don't think that I don't remember anything because I'm young. I still clearly remember that you once called out a person's name when you were talking in your sleep beside me! The Taoist priest named Ling something, although I didn't hear it clearly, I'm sure it must be a man!"

After these words came out, even though Madonna was in spirit form, her cheeks still turned red.

She quickly moved away from Ma Xiaoling, floating in the air with her back turned, and said, "No!"

"Still pretending! Have you never thought about falling in love?"

"no!"

"Who would believe that, unless... you swear to the ancestors of the Ma family!"

Madonna turned around suddenly and said angrily, "You stinky girl, you actually forced me to do this?"

Ma Xiaoling curled her lips: "Who told you not to tell me the truth and keep lecturing me?"

"Didn't I learn this from my aunt? She often taught me the same thing back then."

"Aunt, tell me the truth, have you never thought about it?"

Madonna flew forward, her voice suddenly lowered, a smile on her face: "Xiaoling, you know we look very similar, and we are both rare beauties in the world, so there are a lot of people chasing after me. Sometimes... I will think about it." As she said that, she turned her head away shyly.

Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, but she immediately regained her seriousness and earnestness: "Then you have never felt unwilling in your heart?"

Madonna turned around and sighed deeply.

"How could it be possible? I also want to find a handsome guy to fall in love with, get married, have children, and grow old together like other girls." At this point, she glanced at Ma Xiaoling, with a lot of pity in her eyes, but she was still cruel: "But there is no way, who made us born to be the women of the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan? If we don't do some things, then no one will do it. Xiaoling, think about it, can you really put all your responsibilities aside and live peacefully with a man, regardless of the demons, ghosts, or zombies outside?"

Madonna flew to her side and said earnestly, "I know you, Ma Xiaoling, will never do this. Besides, when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? We are indeed suffering, but everything we do is for the whole world."

Ma Xiaoling asked unwillingly: "Will this world be destroyed without our Ma family? Why is there no one else to take this responsibility?"

"Others certainly have it, but they don't have the means that we have to exorcise the dragons. Our Ma family will always be an indispensable force on the side of justice. You should be proud of it."

Ma Xiaoling lowered her eyes and had a blank expression on her face.

After a while, she suddenly muttered, "I don't care!" She looked up at Madonna and said seriously, "I'm telling you, I'll retire when I've made enough money before I'm 30!"

"Retire so early?" Madonna was anxious. "You are the only one left in the Ma family. Who will catch the generals if you retire?"

Ma Xiaoling turned away and pouted, saying aggrievedly: "Then I can't do anything about it. If Jiang Chen never shows up, then will I never get married?"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of someone in her mind.

All the little moments of their past interactions came to her mind. Although it seemed as if they had been bickering with each other non-stop since the beginning, she could not ignore the fact that he often gave in to her and went along with his words and actions.

Even though he was indeed timid once and apologized later, it doesn't matter. As a normal person, it would be abnormal if he wasn't afraid. He had just moved to Jiajia Building and was not very familiar with other people.

As she thought about it, she suddenly thought that she would most likely have to pretend to be firm and ruthless in rejecting him in the future for the sake of the Ma family's responsibility. At that time, he would turn away sadly and disappear forever. Until one day in the future when she was completely unprepared, she would suddenly receive a wedding invitation from him, and then she would sit in the audience and watch him and someone else exchange rings and kiss each other at the wedding...

"Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling!!!"

Ma Xiaoling came back to her senses, and suddenly felt a mist in front of her eyes. She was immediately shocked and quickly raised her head to open her eyes wide, while taking a deep breath to calm herself down. Madonna was also silently accompanying her at the same time, too nervous to say a word.

Only when the mist in Ma Xiaoling's eyes dissipated did she let out a deep sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying in fear: "Oh, you girl, you almost scared me to death again!"

Ma Xiaoling slowly lowered her head, her face showing even more sadness.

Although what I just thought was a bit jumpy, when I think about it carefully, it is not completely impossible.

If that time really came, she really didn't know if she could control herself from shedding tears.

"Aunt, if one day I really shed tears for a man, what should I do then?" she said without raising her head.

Madonna looked into her eyes seriously and said slowly, "What else can I do? You will be free then."

"But...what about the general?"

"Haha, then we'll have to leave it to other people. I'm your great aunt, and I don't want to force you. If one day it really happens as you said, I can breathe a sigh of relief, after all, you'll be able to live like a normal girl in the future."

Ma Xiaoling turned her head in surprise and looked at the kindness on Madonna's face. Her heart felt warmer, but also more painful.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Madonna quickly changed the subject: "By the way, when are you going to ask your man to come over and show him to me? You've never been in a relationship before, so don't be fooled by bad people."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoling's face panicked and she instinctively said, "Where do I have a man? Aunt, you are talking nonsense again."

"Hahaha, you still want to hide it from me now? I'm an experienced person, how can I not know what you are thinking? Tell me quickly, or don't blame me for investigating it myself."

"Okay!" Ma Xiaoling looked at her helplessly, "Don't follow me. I don't want to be monitored. Um... Actually, I didn't say anything to him at all."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course it's true! Although I often say harsh words, I also remember the important mission of being the heir of the Ma family!"

"So what happened to you just now?"

"…I didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything either, but I'm not stupid, can't I see what he's thinking?"

Madonna smiled when she heard this. "Great, how old is he? How tall is he? How much does he weigh? What does he do? When can you bring him to me so I can take a look at him?"

"Aunt! How can you ask that? Besides, he has come here three times, but you were not there every time."

Ma Xiaoling looked at her clothes and the cup of water on the bed, and thought: "If I remember correctly, he was the one who sent me home when I was drunk last night."

"what?"

Madonna was shocked, "You got drunk with him? And you asked him to take you home?"

"No, everyone at Jiajia Building went there last night, and I was with Zhenzhen!"

"Oh~" Madonna seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she said with a strange look on her face, "So, he should be a gentleman."

"why?"

"He actually sent you home instead of sending you to a hotel. Isn't that a gentleman?"

Looking at Madonna's mischievous smile, Ma Xiaoling's face immediately turned red all the way to her neck. She simply lay back, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, I want to sleep, go and rest by yourself!!"

"Okay, okay, I won't be going out to play recently, so remember to bring him back." Madonna chuckled a few times and turned to dive into the painting.

“Why is this second half so difficult?”

Hong Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the bright midday sunshine outside the window, frowning and thinking deeply.

He originally thought that he had already understood and successfully practiced the first half of "Swordsmanship", so he should be able to quickly master the rest of the content as well.

I never thought that all the quiet contemplation during this period of time had not even touched the surface.

For a moment, Hong Chen didn't know whether he should doubt his qualifications.

"I have nothing to do recently, why not take a break?"

Thinking of this, Hong Chen waved his hand to call for the mobile phone on the bedside table, ready to use the excuse of business trip again.

Unexpectedly, when his cell phone lit up, the many missed calls really scared him.

"Why did Tianyou make so many phone calls? Could it be that he couldn't help but do something last night, and was caught in the act by Ouyang Jiajia on the bed this morning?"

With doubt in his mind, he called back.

The call was connected, and before he could open his mouth to tease, he heard Tianyou hurriedly say, "Achen! Zhenzhen and Fusheng are missing. The phone can't be reached, and there are no witnesses!"
