Chapter 40: Can

For a moment, Dorothy almost blurted out, "I choose three," but in the end, she held back.

After all, although this choice seemed beautiful, not only could she get freedom, but she could also earn a white, rich, and beautiful angel wife for free. No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss, but thinking about it carefully, this seems to be a trap.

Although witches are indeed a magical race that can have children between women, even witch couples have to distinguish between attacker and receiver. All witch families have a distinction between the paternal mother and the maternal mother roles.

Simply put, whoever is pregnant and gives birth is the maternal mother, and the other who provides genes is the paternal mother.

Normal traditional witch families still value this kind of family status distinction. Generally speaking, the paternal mother is the main external one, is also the head of the family, is responsible for supporting the family, and has the decision-making power for major family matters. The maternal mother is the main internal one, responsible for family affairs, child education, and other work.

This positioning distribution will be decided before the two get married, and it won't be easily changed afterward.

However, such traditional witch families are no longer many these years. Many new-era witch couples play quite wildly. They think that the family concept inherited from the human gender relationship era is too old and rotten, so they feel that both husband and wife should be equal. Why divide it so clearly? So who is the paternal and who is the maternal should also be equal, and it can be taken in turns. This time you give birth, next time I give birth...

From a generally rational point of view, Dorothy completely agrees with these new-era witches' concept of equality, but in reality, the memories of her past life make it psychologically difficult for her to accept this way of playing. Her family concept tends more toward traditional witch families.

But these days, new-era witches are all very strong and autonomous, unwilling to submit to others. That kind of traditional virtuous wife and mother witch who is still willing to sacrifice herself to give birth to children and take care of the family is not easy to find.

Therefore, Dorothy had long been prepared to be alone in her heart. Getting married and having children had never been in her life plan.

She often mocks herself that she is her own wife, and her body is the soul's companion. This is a genuine harmony of heart and spirit, and unity of soul and desire.

In short, being single is cool for a while, and being single forever is always cool.

Therefore, even if the appearance of a pure white girl like Sophie Liya is completely dancing on Dorothy's xp, even if the angel witch's graceful and curvaceous good figure would make her accidentally greedy for someone's body, but...

I refuse.

What a joke, the most common way for witches to set family status is to look at the strength. After all, they are a war race. Whoever is strong has the reason, and whoever has a higher family status.

Unless it's that kind of love saint who can fool the other half into being loyal to you and willing to sacrifice herself for you.

But is Dorothy that kind of love saint? Is she worthy?

She is worthy of a few handles.

Given the strength gap between her and Sophie Liya, if the two really got married, could she suppress this other half who is only one step away from a Great Witch?

Suppress a fart. She is afraid that she will be killed and lose her armor, played in the palm of her hand, and the person who gives birth and looks after the house in a while will be herself.

In short, goodbye.

Even if Dorothy is poor to death, starved to death, or even reduced to being an armed cannon fodder on the front line, or caught home to inherit that damn family business, she will never be a receiver.

This sentence is about dignity, no "really fragrant," serious face.

And there is also, Sophie Liya, why are you just watching? Can you say something? Yufillia is just your teacher, not your biological mother? And even if it's a biological mother, you can't listen to everything she says? Where is your independence as a new-era witch? Life's major events should be decided by yourself...

Dorothy looked at the angel witch expectantly, hoping she would at least express her stance.

As a result, the pure white girl turned her head, stared at Dorothy seriously for a while, and then frowned, seeming a bit disgusted, but ultimately nodded.

"Teacher, although I feel that I probably don't get along with the Young Lady, if it's your order, then I have no opinion and am willing to obey."

Dorothy: "......"

At this moment, she was completely numb. This waste angel didn't have any independent thoughts at all. You couldn't possibly be that kind of traditional witch who is rarer than a giant panda.

Thus, she finally had to make a choice dejectedly.

"Two, I choose two."

Although considering the emotional aspect of humans, Dorothy didn't like the cold equivalent exchange concept of this biological mother, but as long as she used rationality to suppress that sensibility, she was surprised to find that this concept was unexpectedly very much to her taste.

A large part of the discomfort when people get along with each other stems from the inequality of the relationship between the two sides. As the saying goes, those who eat people have short mouths, and those who take people have short hands. Once this debt relationship appears between the two sides, it is difficult to communicate equally.

The difficulty of human feelings often lies here. On the contrary, the transaction thinking of direct equivalent exchange makes people more comfortable. Many people would rather deal with customers than with their own relatives, which stems from this.

When people interact with those close to them, they often don't like such direct transactions, which will appear heartless, indifferent, and not close enough, and thus there is the saying of human feelings.

But debts are easy to repay, human feelings are hard to repay.

Considering from the perspective of human feelings, Yufillia, as a mother, undoubtedly has grace for Dorothy. This is the grace of birth. She gave Dorothy life and let her be born into this world. Such great human feelings are fundamentally impossible to repay.

After all, could Dorothy learn from Nezha and cut flesh to repay her mother and remove bones to repay her father?

And Yufillia didn't think about harming Dorothy. She just wanted a successor. Being able to inherit the family business of the Dragon Witch is a good thing that many people can't ask for. How can this be called harm?

The path Yufillia arranged for her can be said to be a successful path recognized by the hearts of most witches, and she can walk to the peak of life all the way.

It's just that people have their own aspirations.

The saying that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's sons know how to dig holes often goes wrong. In reality, examples of tiger fathers raising dog sons are not rare. Therefore, dragons can also give birth to salted fish. Yufillia, a strong woman, gave birth to Dorothy, such a salted fish.

Parents think it's good, but children don't agree. The origin of family conflicts is mostly this kind of conflict of concepts between two generations.

Dorothy wants to dominate her own life, but before that, how should she repay her mother's grace of birth?

Perhaps some people think that parents giving birth to children is a matter of course, that they wanted to give birth themselves, and children don't owe anyone, but Dorothy finds it difficult to agree with this concept.

She previously thought that her mother had actively abandoned her, so she could naturally pretend she didn't have a mother, but now the misunderstanding has been cleared up, so Yufillia's opinion is something she fundamentally cannot ignore.

A life without the blessing of parents is very difficult to be truly happy. Even if she doesn't say it, she will ultimately have some regrets in her heart.

Dorothy herself actually doesn't know how to handle this messy thing. She can't make a choice by herself. This kind of thing is like parents urging marriage. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong. Everyone has reasons, but now Yufillia gave her a choice herself, letting her have a step down.

Is it said that equivalent exchange is her life motto, but is it really just like this?

Raising her head to look at Yufillia, who was pretending to be cold and majestic in front of her, Dorothy had complex emotions. She thought for a moment, and ultimately didn't expose her mother's mask.

"Two, I choose two. Fifty years is fifty years. Mom, I won't let you down."

Dorothy said this sentence willingly.

On the contrary, the Dragon Witch started to feel uncomfortable all over.

"Hehe, you have courage. With your lazy appearance, wanting to resist me fifty years later is fundamentally impossible. You wait and see, you will obediently go home with me sooner or later. I'll just treat it as giving you a 50-year vacation."

For that change of address from her daughter, Yufillia widened her eyes, and a feeling she had never felt before surged into her heart. This made the Peak Witch's state of mind feel at a loss for a while, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but want to curl up. She was just a little bit away from really not being able to hold it anymore.

Fortunately, the unparalleled martial arts she had honed for many years gave her absolute control over her body. She ultimately kept a straight face and acted it out according to her usual style.

Tsk, but I always feel like I've been seen through by this daughter.

How is this possible? This child is only 16 years old. I've eaten more salt than she has eaten bread. How could she see through me? Illusion, it's all an illusion.

The Dragon Witch comforted herself like this. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
