Since he had already told his story, Tao Yao simply told the story that he had kept hidden for a thousand years.
"When I was still unable to transform, I was in an opera theater and heard the line 'The peach tree is young and luxuriant, its flowers are radiant'. So I gave myself this name..."
He whispered.
The Liyuan was not an opera garden at first, but a peach orchard. It was only later that a businessman took a fancy to it and bought it to open a theater. The wealthy families of that dynasty all liked to raise their own opera troupes.
Normally, the opera troupe can perform for guests on their own. When there is a happy event in the host's home, they will invite the troupe to perform at the house.
Tao Yao was hiding in her original body. She heard the words "Tao Zhi Yao Yao" in an opera and thought it suited her very well, so she secretly gave herself this name.
By listening to opera performances every day, Taoyao also learned a lot of opera scripts.
Sometimes when everyone in the opera house was out, he would sing quietly.
Later, a girl in the opera garden had a child out of wedlock and always played under the peach tree. The child also liked to sing opera and sometimes hummed a few lines.
His mother was an opera singer herself, but she didn't want to hear her son sing and always beat him.
The child felt very aggrieved, and after all the adults in the opera garden had left, the child sang secretly under the peach tree.
Once, Taoyao couldn't help herself and sang a duet with the child.
The child was also very brave. When he heard someone singing with him, he was not afraid but very happy. So, every time when everyone in the opera garden went out, they would learn to sing together. It was a secret between the two of them.
"Then the child grew up to be 8 years old." Tao Yao smiled bitterly, "He was taken home by his biological father, who happened to be the owner of the opera house."
It turned out that the master's son saw that the child's mother was pretty, so he secretly took his mother's body.
At that time, it was normal for actors to get pregnant before marriage, and no one was surprised. But it was rare for an actor to take his child home after he lost his fertility.
After the child returned to his father's home, he was raised as an heir. That family did not allow him to contact his mother and only told others that he was a legitimate child.
"I hadn't seen him for six years, and the next time we met, his mother had passed away."
Taoyao sighed.
At that time, the child hugged the tree and cried very sadly. But because he was no longer his biological mother's child, he could only leave after crying.
It was on that day that Taoyao felt particularly sorry for the growing child.
Then it transformed.
After changing his form, he lied that he was a wandering refugee who was adopted by the opera troupe and became the leading actress. The young man would come to the opera house to listen to operas, and when he heard that his voice was the same as Taoshu's, he recognized his identity.
After they met, because the young man began to take charge of the family business and had the ability to move freely, he would always come to the Liyuan to meet him when he was free.
Later one day, the boy said that his family was arranging a marriage for him.
"I just felt uncomfortable at the time." Tao Yao lowered her eyes, "But it is normal for humans to marry and have children. I didn't take it to heart and even told him to be nicer to girls."
"He is very angry..."
The boy refused to meet the girl and she only showed him many storybooks.
At that time, people were open-minded and some people wrote stories about the affairs between men. After reading the storybook, he understood his feelings for the boy, but was frightened by the different paths of the human and the demon in the storybook and dared not stay with the boy.
"In fact, the gender of monsters can change at will." Tao Yao's smile became more bitter. "In order to make him give up, I specially found a senior brother from the opera troupe to pretend to be on good terms with me. It really pissed him off."
From that day on, the young man stopped joining the opera troupe and devoted himself to business. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he became very wealthy. The daughter of the local governor took a fancy to him and insisted on marrying him into the family.
At first the young man didn't know that the prefect's daughter liked him. He just thought that by getting on board the official's boat he could do better business.
My master also said the same thing, saying that having good relations with the authorities would be convenient in many ways.
The young man in the Taoyao story must have thought the same.
Although her mind was distracted, Yaya continued to listen to the story.
Later, the young man was invited to a banquet and was drugged by another suitor of the prefect's daughter.
Having said that, Tao Yao suddenly stopped and looked at Yaya.
Yaya didn't know why he stopped, she just tilted her head and looked at him, and then her ears were covered by Ying Wugui.
Lu Xingbai was slow to cover his ears, but thinking that Ying Wugui would definitely cover his ears better than him, he signaled Tao Yao to continue.
Taoyao nodded and talked about what happened next.
Even though the boy was drugged, he insisted on not having sex with any woman. Instead, he forced himself to get away and came to the Liyuan to find him.
Seeing that the young man was really miserable, he cast peach blossom miasma on him and had sex with him.

The boy tasted the sweetness and pursued him more fiercely, just to be with him.
"The prefect's daughter found out about this and let it go." Tao Yao smiled sweetly, "I spent a happy time with him..."
Yaya's ears were loosened by Ying Wugui.
She looked at Ying Wu Gou a little depressed, said nothing, and continued to listen to the story quietly.
"Then one day, the Huns attacked." Tao Yao's face turned ugly. "They set fire to the theater and killed my husband."
Taoyao was a monster. She was not dead, but was seriously injured in the fire.
He was particularly sad when he knew that his boy had died. The boy's father was sending his son to his grave, so he sent a dream to the boy's father, asking them to dig up the peach tree that the boy loved and bury it with the boy's grave.
Fortunately, the boy's soul had not left at that time.
Tao Yao asked the boy if he was willing to stay with him forever, and the boy agreed. Then he tampered with the coffin and turned the boy into a zombie.
"It's just that his talent is too poor." Tao Yao still felt a little sad when talking about this matter. "Because his body turned into a zombie, his soul couldn't become a ghost cultivator anymore. Instead, he was in a daze."
As she was speaking, Tao Yao suddenly knelt down in front of Ya Ya.
"If you hadn't come, he would have definitely forgotten who I am, and we wouldn't have been able to stay together." Tao Yao kowtowed to Yaya to express her gratitude, "I will never forget your kindness."
Yaya was busy listening to the story and was slow to react, so Taoyao kowtowed to her.
She said embarrassedly: "Your persistence has paid off. You have cultivated into a monster and he has become a zombie, but he has never harmed anyone and has saved many poor people who were in danger in the mountains."
If Taoyao had not insisted on not letting the boy transform into a zombie to harm others, the boy's zombie level would have evolved long ago.
After all, flesh and blood are the best food for zombies.
"But I'm afraid there will be times when I can't keep an eye on him," Tao Yao said. "It's not fair to keep him trapped in the tomb."
This is exactly why Taoyao doesn't want to be a member of the Supernatural Management Bureau.
After hearing Taoyao's words, Yaya looked at Ying Wugui. With that hopeful expression on her face, anyone could tell that the little milk ball was asking for something.
