Chapter 121: TuanTuan's Evolution
Chapter 121: TuanTuan's Evolution
In Quancheng, at the home of Lu Wu.
Lu Wu had been back for less than half an hour when he repeatedly confirmed with Doudou about Lu Haikong and Li Ruyu's honeymoon plans.
He couldn't believe he had been left behind so abruptly.
After all, he had passed the age when being abandoned was a common occurrence, and while such an unreliable situation seemed like something Lu Haikong would do, it was entirely out of character for Li Ruyu.
Li Ruyu should have at least informed him before leaving.
But no matter how many times Lu Wu confirmed, the result was always the same.
Indeed, they hadn't left any information for Lu Wu, nor had they explained where they were going for their honeymoon.
He had no idea where they were headed!
Nor did he know when they would return!
Lu Wu couldn't even get in touch with them.
This made Lu Wu a bit anxious.
If they were truly on their honeymoon, he could accept it, despite the unreliability. However, Lu Wu feared they might have encountered some trouble.
He was genuinely scared for them.
Just as Lu Wu was hesitating about whether to contact Zhao Kaoming and ask for his help, his phone rang.
It was Lu Haikong, sending a video call invitation.
Lu Wu was taken aback and immediately accepted the call.
When he opened the video, Lu Haikong, Li Ruyu, and their three-year-old daughter were all in the frame.
Judging by the background, they seemed to be in a hotel room, and upon closer inspection, there was even a sea view outside.
Seeing this, Lu Wu was at a loss for words.
He had been worried that something had happened to them, but they were genuinely on their honeymoon?
Lu Haikong, on the other side of the call, in fact, consume a lot of energy to be able to do this. He was so excited that he couldn't help but blurt out, "Son, look at this awesome hotel! It's a five-star hotel, and we're in the presidential suite. It costs more than ten thousand a night. If it weren't for your success, your old man here might never have been able to afford such a place..."
Before he could finish, his ear was tugged.
"And you dare say that! Spending over ten thousand on a hotel is like eating a whole pig's worth of meat in one go! You're wasting it!"
Lu Haikong had secretly booked such a luxurious hotel, causing Li Ruyu to feel heartbroken. If only she could get a refund, she would have canceled it immediately.
"It's just this once! Our son is so capable now, isn't he? He wants us to enjoy ourselves, and we're just doing as he wishes!"
"And you dare to argue with me!"
...
After giving Lu Haikong a piece of her mind, Li Ruyu took the phone and spoke to Lu Wu.
It was then that Lu Wu learned that Lu Haikong had suddenly arranged this honeymoon trip without saying a word. He had booked the flights and hotel, and since they couldn't be canceled, Li Ruyu had no choice but to go with him.
They had been at the beach earlier, and Li Ruyu's phone had run out of battery, which was why she hadn't answered Lu Wu's call.
"Don't worry, Mom. It's a rare opportunity to go out, so enjoy yourselves and have fun. I'm fine here, so don't worry about me!"
Lu Wu said this, but Li Ruyu still asked him to hand the phone to Doudou. They whispered to each other for half an hour before ending the call.
As Lu Wu took the phone back and was about to hang up, Lu Haikong sneaked up to the camera and whispered, "Son, remember to send money!"
Lu Wu ended the video call, his expression unreadable.
Despite his disbelief, his heart calmed down, and his stomach rumbled at that moment.
"I'll go make dinner!"
Doudou quickly got up to prepare a meal for Lu Wu.
However, just as Doudou stood up, a special and angry pig grunt came from TuanTuan.
At the same time, Doudou, who had just stood up, collapsed back onto the couch.
"What's going on?"
Lu Wu's expression changed, and he quickly helped Doudou up, laying her down on the sofa.
By this time, Doudou had already fallen asleep.
Lu Wu was a bit flustered and turned to look at TuanTuan.
At this very moment, Doudou's pig was in a peculiar state.
It emanated a yellowish-brown aura, and when Lu Wu checked its attributes, he discovered that the little fellow in a state of evolution triggered by a bonding skill.
Seeing this, Lu Wu's initial tension and unease transformed into sheer joy.
However, amidst his elation, Lu Wu had a lingering question.
Doudou's bonding skill had never been triggered before, so why did it activate today? And what was the meaning behind TuanTuan's angry grunt earlier?
Lu Wu immediately focused his attention on the small skeleton, who stood by TuanTuan, looking helpless.
"Did you do something wrong?"
The small skeleton shook its head vigorously.
The small skeleton's status changed to 'Nervous'.
The small skeleton hadn't done anything wrong!
Well, to be precise, what the small skeleton did wasn't exactly wrong, but it wasn't right either.
Hadn't TuanTuan been bullying this little fellow all along? Now that the small skeleton had grown stronger and evolved, it was only natural for it to seek a fight.
But TuanTuan wouldn't fight it, so the small skeleton could only show off.
It boasted about its newfound strength, claiming it could defeat multiple TuanTuans.
It bragged about how Lu Wu had treated it well, buying it many things.
It even mentioned how Lu Wu had helped it bathe, and how it was capable and hardworking.
It emphasized TuanTuan's weakness, implying that Lu Wu wouldn't like it.
It was unclear how the two summon beasts communicated, but the small skeleton accurately conveyed these thoughts to TuanTuan.
It even picked up the pig and tossed it from one hand to the other, and back again.
And that's when the pig became angry.
Then, the pig evolved.
After figuring out the situation through the Golden Finger, Lu Wu's feelings were complicated.
He didn't know whether to scold the Mini Skeleton or kiss it.
Although this little guy was acting up, it wasn't human to begin with. Besides, after being bullied by TuanTuan for so long, it was normal for it to retaliate.
Furthermore, without the stimulation from the little skeleton, Lu Wu didn't know when the pig would evolve, and his wife's appearance might never return to its peak.
Thinking about this, Lu Wu forgave the little skeleton.
"But speaking of evolution, is it really that simple? It evolved with just a little stimulation, and judging by its appearance, the post-evolution boost won't be insignificant."
Comparing it to TuanTuan's pig, Lu Wu once again felt disdain for the little skeleton.
After all, he had spent a lot of money to get the little skeleton to this point, and the final evolution cost him nearly 169 points.
This was just the beginning; later, the little skeleton's quality enhancement, evolution, and other aspects would require more money.
This little guy was like a bottomless pit, and compared to TuanTuan, how much simpler and more carefree life could be.
It ate when it was supposed to eat, evolved when it was supposed to evolve, and evolved when it wanted to.
"Look at TuanTuan, then look at you. What's the point of having you around?" Lu Wu complained, tapping the little skeleton's head.
Although Lu Wu was happy that Doudou's bonding skill had activated, he was also concerned. He worried that TuanTuan's evolution might drain too much energy and that Doudou might not be able to handle it.
After all, she hadn't seemed to eat anything nutritious in the past few months, only ordinary food, and Lu Wu was concerned that her body might not be able to withstand it.
"I'll keep a close eye, and if it's not working, I'll have to stop TuanTuan's evolution to ensure Doudou's safety."
Between the pig and Doudou, Lu Wu knew which choice was the right one.
However, the situation differed from what Lu Wu had anticipated.
He thought Doudou might not be able to handle it, but Doudou's plump body seemed to be holding up well.
Half an hour into TuanTuan's evolution, Lu Wu didn't notice any significant weight loss in Doudou.
This situation made Lu Wu's feelings even more complicated.
He couldn't tell if he should be relieved or worried.
If TuanTuan evolved and Doudou's weight didn't decrease, Lu Wu wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Fortunately, the situation didn't go that way.
Although Doudou's weight didn't decrease in the first half-hour of TuanTuan's evolution, it started to drop after that.
Lu Wu witnessed it; Doudou's body glowed, and her figure gradually shrank.
In half an hour, Doudou's body became visibly slimmer.
As Doudou's figure shrank, her beauty skyrocketed.
Doudou's appearance transformed from a cute, chubby girl to a more sensual and attractive one.
After a few hours, when TuanTuan's evolution was complete, Doudou's weight had reduced to around 100 kilograms.
Lu Wu was so moved that tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Standing at 1.7 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned figure and a face that no one could surpass, especially when it came to fighting, Lu Wu was grateful.
Fortunately, Lu Wu, a virtuous and devoted man, was by her side. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.
Lu Wu didn't do anything, and as soon as TuanTuan finished evolving, it immediately sat on the little skeleton's back, which was not a minor factor.
This made it difficult for Lu Wu to shift his gaze from Doudou to the evolved TuanTuan.

Lu Wu couldn't bear to watch; he shook his head and averted his gaze from the pig and the little skeleton. He had no intention of saving the little skeleton; it had provoked the pig, and it deserved the beating.
Compared to them, Lu Wu was more concerned about his wife.
Should he carry her into the house or...
Just then, an elderly father pushed open Lu Wu's door, which was left ajar, and rushed in.
"Mr. Lu, where's my daughter? It's already past 12, and you're still..."
Before he could finish, the old father froze, staring at Doudou lying on the couch and Lu Wu, who was about to lift Doudou.
Doudou's father's eyes instantly reddened, and he grabbed the broom nearby and charged forward.
"You dare to steal my Doudou, and even bring her to your home? I'll beat you to a pulp, you scoundrel!"
