My starting summon is a small skeleton

Quan City, Lu Wu's house.

Lu Wu had been home for less than half an hour and had already repeatedly confirmed the details of Lu Haikong and his party's honeymoon several times with Dudu.

He couldn't believe he had been left behind.

After all, he was past the prime age for being ditched. Moreover, such unreliable behavior, although typical of Lu Haikong, did not seem like something Li Ruyu would do.

Li Ruyu should have told him about it, not just leave for a vacation without a word.

But no matter how much Lu Wu confirmed, the result was the same.

They really hadn't left anything for Lu Wu nor briefed him about going on their honeymoon.

Where they had gone was unknown!

When they'd be back was unknown!

Lu Wu couldn't even get in touch with them.

This made Lu Wu somewhat anxious.

If they truly had gone on a honeymoon, then it was fine; he could handle a bit of unreliability. What Lu Wu really feared was that they had run into some trouble.

Their sudden departure had genuinely frightened him.

He was also quite worried about them.

Just as Lu Wu hesitated whether to contact Zhao Kai Ming to ask him for help in checking up on them, his phone rang.

It was Lu Haikong, sending a video call invitation.

Lu Wu, puzzled, immediately opened the video.

As the video opened, Lu Haikong, Li Ruyu, and their three-year-old sister all appeared on the screen.

From the background, it seemed they were in a hotel room; looking more closely, damn, there was even a seaside view outside.

Seeing this scene, Lu Wu didn't know what to say.

Had he been anxious for nothing, thinking something happened to them, and they actually just went on a honeymoon?

Meanwhile, an excited Lu Haikong on the other end of the video said, "Son, see how awesome this hotel is? Five-star hotel, presidential suite, more than ten thousand a night! If it weren't for you succeeding, your dad here could never afford such a nice hotel in his lifetime..."

The old man hadn't finished speaking when someone tugged at his ear.

"And you're still talking. Over ten thousand could buy pork ribs for a whole year, and here you are, wasting it!"

Lu Haikong had secretly booked this extravagant hotel, to Li Ruyu's distress; had it been cancellable, she would've done so already.

"Just this once, our son is capable now, isn't he? He wanted us to enjoy, so what's the harm in enjoying once!"

"How dare you talk back!"

...

After Li Ruyu had dealt with Lu Haikong, she took over the phone and started talking to Lu Wu.

It was only then that Lu Wu learned that the sudden honeymoon was orchestrated by Lu Haikong, who had booked the tickets and hotel without saying a word, and they couldn't be cancelled, so Li Ruyu had no choice but to go along.

Their phone had run out of battery at the beachside, so they hadn't received Lu Wu's calls.

"No worries, Mom. It's rare for you guys to go out, just have fun and enjoy yourselves; I'm fine here, don't worry about me!"

Although Lu Wu said this, Li Ruyu still handed the phone to Dudu to secretly brief her. The two of them chatted about something for half an hour before stopping.

Just as Lu Wu was about to hang up, Lu Haikong sneaked back over and whispered cheekily, "Son, remember to send the money!"

Lu Wu hung up the video call expressionlessly.

Although a bit speechless, his heart settled down at that moment, and right then, his stomach started to growl.

After all, he had been upset the entire day.

"I'll cook!"

Dudu saw this and quickly got up to make food for Lu Wu.

However, just as Dudu stood up, off to the side came an especially irate and particularly angry pig snort from Tuantuan.

At the same time, Dudu, who had just stood up, collapsed back down.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Wu's face changed, and he immediately helped Dudu to lie down flat on the sofa, but by then, Dudu had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Lu Wu became panicked and turned to look at the pig.

At this very moment, Dudu's family's pig was also in a special state.

Radiating a yellowish-brown light all over, Lu Wu checked its attributes and found the little fellow was undergoing an evolution triggered by a Bonds Skill.

Seeing this state, Lu Wu's initial nervousness transformed into ecstasy.

However, amidst the ecstasy, Lu Wu was somewhat perplexed.

Why had Dudu's Bonds Skill suddenly activated today? And what was with Tuantuan's angry snort just now?

Lu Wu immediately fixed his gaze on Little Skeleton next to Tuantuan, who looked utterly clueless.

"Did you do something bad?"

Little Skeleton frantically shook its head.

Little Skeleton's state became [Guilty].

No, Little Skeleton did not do any bad things!

Strictly speaking, what Little Skeleton did wasn't really bad, but neither was it humanly!

Wasn't this little guy bullied by Tuantuan all along?

Now that Little Skeleton had grown strong and even evolved, it naturally wanted to show off.

But Tuantuan wouldn't fight it, so Little Skeleton could only brag.

Things like Little Skeleton was very strong now, could beat lots of Tuantuans!

Like how Lu Wu treated Little Skeleton so well, buying Little Skeleton lots of cellphones!

Lu Wu even bathed Little Skeleton!

Little Skeleton was so capable, that's why Lu Wu liked Little Skeleton.

Tuantuan was so weak; surely Lu Wu didn't like Tuantuan!

Who knows how these two Summoned Beasts communicated, but anyway, Little Skeleton conveyed all these sentiments precisely to Tuantuan.

It even picked up the pig like a ball and tossed it from one hand to the other!

Then the pig got angry.

Next, the pig evolved.

After figuring out the situation through Golden Finger, Lu Wu felt quite conflicted.

He didn't know whether he should scold Little Skeleton or hug it.

Although the little guy did something outrageous, it wasn't human to begin with, and after being bullied by Tuantuan for so long, it was normal for it to seek revenge.

Moreover, without the stimulus from Little Skeleton, who knows when the pig would have evolved or when his wife would regain her peak beauty.

Thinking this, Lu Wu forgave Little Skeleton.

"But come to think of it, is evolving that easy?

Just a little stimulus and it evolves, and looking at it, the improvement after evolution must be significant.

I guess it's not much different from Little Skeleton's evolution."

Once again comparing to others' pig, Lu Wu found it time to resent Little Skeleton again.

After all, he had spent a lot of money to raise Little Skeleton to this point, and the final evolution cost Lu Wu nearly a thousand points.

And that's just the beginning, as Little Skeleton's quality improvement and evolution would all cost money.

This little guy is just a money pit, then look at Tuantuan, how worry-free and simple it is.

Just eat, sleep, level up when need be, and evolve when it's time.

"Look at others, then look at you, what's the use of having you!"

Lu Wu pointed at Little Skeleton's head and complained, then went back to Dudu's side.

Although he was happy that Dudu's Bonds Skill had activated, he was also worried that Tuantuan's evolution would draw too much energy, and Dudu wouldn't be able to handle it.

After all, it seemed she hadn't eaten anything nutritious in the past few months, just ordinary food, and Lu Wu worried she might not be able to withstand it.

"I'll keep a close watch, and if really necessary to ensure Dudu's safety, I may just have to interrupt Tuantuan's evolution."

Between the pig and Dudu, Lu Wu certainly knew which was the right choice.

However, the situation was a bit different from what Lu Wu had anticipated.

He thought Dudu wouldn't be able to handle it, but surprisingly, Dudu's chubby body seemed to have a lot of energy.

Tuantuan had been evolving for half an hour, and Lu Wu hadn't noticed any significant weight loss in Dudu.

This situation made Lu Wu feel even more conflicted.

He couldn't tell whether to feel relieved or worried.

At this rate, if Tuantuan finished evolving and Dudu's weight hadn't reduced at all, Lu Wu wasn't sure whether to cry or laugh.

Fortunately, things didn't go in that direction.

Although Dudu's weight hadn't decreased in the first half hour of Tuantuan's evolution, it started to decrease after half an hour.

Lu Wu watched as Dudu glowed and her figure gradually shrank.

In half an hour, Dudu had slimmed down considerably.

And Dudu's beauty skyrocketed as her figure shrank.

Dudu also started transitioning from cute chubby to sexy.

A few hours later, when Tuantuan completed its evolution and Dudu's weight had shrunk to around 100 pounds,

Tears streamed down Lu Wu's cheeks.

At a height of five feet seven inches, a perfect figure ratio, and a face so striking no one had surpassed it so far.

Add to that the clothes that were several sizes too large and the unconscious state that left her vulnerable.

Lucky for her that the upright and faithful good man, Lu Wu was by her side, otherwise who knows what others might have done.

Of course, Lu Wu didn't do anything. The fact that Tuantuan had just completed its evolution, immediately went Giant form and sat on Little Skeleton played a not-so-small part.

This seriously forced Lu Wu to pull his gaze away from Dudu and focus on the newly evolved Tuantuan.

Description: What else can you do? Facing a pig that's on a cheat mode, what else do you expect from me?

…

Hmm, this kind of cheating, Lu Wu couldn't stand to watch.

He shook his head, pulled his gaze away from the pig and Little Skeleton, and had no intention to save Little Skeleton. Trouble it caused, the beating it had to endure, cry as it might.

Compared to them, Lu Wu was more concerned about what to do with his wife.

Should he carry her into the house, or should he carry her into the house?

However, just as Lu Wu hesitated, an old father pushed open the unlocked door of Lu Wu's house and barged in.

"Mr. Lu, where's my daughter? It's already 12 o'clock, why are you still..."

Before he could finish, the old father froze, looking at Dudu lying on the sofa and then at Lu Wu, who was ready to pick Dudu up.

Dudu's dad's eyes immediately reddened, and he grabbed a nearby broom and charged over.

"You already have Dudu and dare to cheat? And to bring her to your home? I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
