Zuo Xiaonian was bewildered and uncertain. "There clearly wasn't anyone's presence in your room just now. What's going on..."
Zuo Xiaoduo was puzzled too. "That's right, there wasn't anyone just now..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are your mother and I not people?!"
Zuo Changlu's face darkened, and he immediately blasted back, "I think getting engaged has gone to your heads! Your mother and I were clearly in the room, yet you claim there wasn't anyone? Zuo Xiaonian! Zuo Xiaoduo! You two, hmm?! You don't even consider your parents people anymore?"
Startled by Zuo Changlu's sternness, Zuo Xiaonian instinctively wilted and hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't look carefully enough."
Chapter 431: Like glue and lacquer
Zuo Changlu snorted, then turned his gaze on Zuo Xiaoduo.
At least he had cowed one of them!
Zuo Xiaoduo instinctively sensed that his father was all bluster, clearly intending to cow them both at once before changing the subject and taking control of the conversation. But Zuo Xiaonian had already backed down, so Zuo Xiaoduo, who always followed his wife's lead, could only back down along with her. "I was wrong, Dad."
"Hmm."
"Have you two finished cultivating?"
Zuo Changlu snorted, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Mm-hmm."
"What realm have you reached now? Have you made any progress?"
"Dad, I'm at mid-stage Cloud Transformation now, and I'm about to advance toward the high stage." Zuo Xiaonian lowered her eyes with a faint smile, her smile like a flower.
"Dad, I'm at Core Origin..."
Before Zuo Xiaoduo could finish, a sense of pointlessness welled up within him.
In an instant, he felt as though he had screwed a dog.
Nian Nian Cat had just said she was at mid-stage Cloud Transformation, and was even about to enter the high stage.
