Chapter 153: I Really Don't Want to Become Your Stepfather, Qiancong

"However, as things stand now, it is quite obvious that a small accident has occurred."

Su Nian sighed with some helplessness and looked at Lan Yu Qiancong with an apologetic gaze as he spoke.

"Because my craftsmanship is not yet very proficient, when I was adapting that bunch of idiots, I set their goal to be loyal to me."

"But who would have known that their understanding of loyalty would be to offer up a pure maiden to make me happy?"

As he said this, Su Nian looked at Lan Yu Qiancong.

Lan Yu Qiancong was stunned for a moment, could not help but roll her eyes at Su Nian, and said speechlessly.

"What is the point of saying this now?"

Su Nian then spoke in a rather distressed tone.

"There is no help for it; I do not hold any expectations for the abilities of that bunch of idiots. If only they could be a bit smarter."

"But for guys who are idiots to begin with, even being controlled does not mean they can become much smarter. When they act like idiots, it only makes one even angrier."

"And you have nowhere to voice your complaints; you can only shoulder this burden yourself."

"That does seem to be the case..."

Lan Yu Qiancong looked at Su Nian with some sympathy; she was also well aware of just how unreliable that bunch of vegetarians were.

And just how different their thinking was from ordinary people.

Thinking about it carefully, Su Nian's life as the Fourth Progenitor is not easy either.

At this moment, Su Nian sighed with emotion from the side.

"If only there were someone sufficiently smart, steady, capable, and loyal to help me manage that bunch of idiots."

"Indeed, it should be like that to prevent such things from happening again."

Lan Yu Qiancong also sighed with emotion.

Compared to his own silly daughter, Lanyu Xianzai, who caught the subtext, suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Nian with surprise.

"Does the Emperor mean...?"

Look at that, how sensible; he is already calling him Emperor... Su Nian looked at Lanyu Xianzai with a hint of amusement.

"The position of Chief Minister of Itogami Island is still vacant. I wonder if Mayor Lanyu has any thoughts on it?"

He did, of course he did; he had far too many thoughts on it.

If he is the Chief Minister of Itogami Island now, then after the Flame Light Banquet, wouldn't he be the Prime Minister of the Night Empire?

This was too tempting for Lanyu Xianzai; he was well aware of the level of the other Three Great Empires of the Night in the world today.

In other words, it was the level of the two permanent members, possessing veto power over almost all affairs in this world.

And it is a well-known fact that the True Ancestors never manage affairs; they are the type of rulers who leave everything to others.

Which means this is truly standing at the absolute pinnacle of power.

A step to the heavens, truly a step to the heavens.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart... well, after weighing the pros, and finding there were simply no cons, Lanyu Xianzai looked at Su Nian calmly and said.

"I wonder what kind of Night Empire the Emperor desires?"

"Probably an empire where everyone follows the law, the political atmosphere is clean, labor is rewarded, and there is justice and rule of law."

Su Nian said indifferently, a society where everyone is equal beneath him, harmonious and peaceful.

"Of course, if anyone stands in the way, then just clean them up."

Su Nian waved his hand casually, then handed the authority to control those other high-level officials to Lanyu Xianzai, and incidentally allowed Lanyu Xianzai to use the power of the Blacklight Virus within his own body.

Although it was just something Su Nian had infected them with casually, it would not be difficult for Lanyu Xianzai and that group of Blacklight Monsters to exert Five-digit strength at this moment.

In a world where only the True Ancestors have touched the gatekeeper of Five-digit, that is indeed a very strong force.

The other three True Ancestors of this world are probably only at the level of White Snow Princess.

It is even possible for them to be overturned by a strong individual among the Six-digit if they get close; after all, Vampires are Summoning-types, and their combat power lies entirely in their Familiars.

"I understand. Please leave it to me with peace of mind."

Lanyu Xianzai said with his hands placed on his lap.

Having already mastered this level of power, if he still could not get it done, he might as well just die and be a quiet Blacklight Monster.

"Then the subsequent matters will be left to you, Minister Lanyu."

Su Nian said with a smile.

"Ah?"

Lan Yu Qiancong was stunned; was a matter like the Chief Minister decided so quickly?

Isn't that a bit too rash?

As for Su Nian, looking at Lan Yu Qiancong's bewildered expression, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

It seems Lan Yu Qiancong has not yet realized that she has already been sold out by her own father at this very moment?

Otherwise, where would Lanyu Xianzai get the qualifications to serve as Chief Minister, or even command that group of Blacklight Monsters? Did she really think he would be so kind as to give power to others for free?

For a position of this level, as long as Su Nian dared to open the door, the people lining up could stretch from Itogami Island all the way to the Island Country.

All of this is because of Lan Yu Qiancong's identity as the Priestess of Kain, and Lanyu Xianzai naturally understands this point as well.

It can also be considered a guarantee Su Nian is giving to Lanyu Xianzai.

The status and position of the Priestess of Kain are quite important to Su Nian; after all, to obtain the 【Saint Annihilation】, one must face Cain and the Priestess of Kain.

And even in the original work, Lan Yu Qiancong's role is indispensable; her hacking skills often produce miraculous effects at critical moments.

Even without mentioning her identity as the Priestess of Cain, Lan Yu Qiancong is a rare talent.

No matter how you look at it, Su Nian is absolutely not losing out.

"However, Qiancong, do you have any requests?"

After arranging matters for Lanyu Xianzai, Su Nian raised his head and looked at Lan Yu Qiancong as he spoke.

"To express my apology for the psychological trauma caused to you because my mistake led to them involving you."

"So you can name one thing within my power; as long as it is something I can do, it is fine."

In an instant, surprise appeared in Lan Yu Qiancong's eyes; she had originally been wondering how to get Su Nian to help her.

She hadn't expected Su Nian to be so sensible, delivering the reason to offer help right into her mouth.

This was a bit unexpected; at this moment, Su Nian was being so considerate that he didn't seem like the Su Nian she knew.

While suppressing the excitement in her heart, Lan Yu Qiancong feigned generosity and said.

"This is what you said, you cannot go back on it."

Once she went back, she would just send all the evidence she had investigated that wasn't convenient to publish to her father; that could be considered not letting Su Nian suffer a loss, right?

At most, she could also assist in the investigation, the kind that didn't require a salary.

Thinking this, Lan Yu Qiancong looked at Su Nian with anticipation, waiting for his response.

Su Nian naturally said very tactfully.

"The Fourth Progenitor does not easily revoke his promises."

Hearing this, Lan Yu Qiancong suppressed her excitement and asked tentatively.

"Then if I want you to turn my mother into a Vampire?"

Once these words were spoken, Lanyu Xianzai was dumbfounded, and even Su Nian was stunned.

Su Nian and Lanyu Xianzai exchanged a glance, and even Nangong Nayue couldn't help but look at Lanyu Xianzai.

Su Nian and Nangong Nayue seemed to have already seen the green hat on Lanyu Xianzai's head.

Coincidentally, Lanyu Xianzai was thinking the same thing.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward to the extreme.

When the scene became awkward, Lan Yu Qiancong seemed to read the wrong atmosphere and asked with some hesitation.

"Is it really not possible?"

"I don't want to become your stepfather, Qiancong."

Su Nian said with a wry smile; although it was absurd, it was the truth.

Vampires in this world need a special impulse to want to drink blood.

Su Nian admitted that he might have some thoughts about Lan Yu Qiancong, but he didn't have any thoughts about Lan Yu Qiancong's mother.

He wasn't someone who inherited the legacy of Chancellor Cao.

Lan Yu Qiancong was completely stunned; she also realized that she seemed to have made a particularly stupid request.

To actually ask the Fourth Progenitor to drink her own mother's blood...

"Umm."

Lan Yu Qiancong blushed, lowered her head, looked at the empty plate in front of her, and didn't dare to say a word.

But thinking of her mother lying on the hospital bed looking weak, Lan Yu Qiancong's expression gradually became firm, and she looked at Su Nian and said firmly.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go back on your word? I will do the ideological work on my mother. You just need to turn her into a Vampire."

"Can't there be any other way?"

Su Nian speechlessly flicked Lan Yu Qiancong's forehead, intending to make this foolish person wake up.

Lanyu Xianzai also realized something; it seemed that the power Su Nian bestowed upon him was enough to treat his wife.

They didn't need to be so pessimistic at all.

"The power Minister Lanyu currently possesses is enough to save your mother."

Afterwards, Su Nian patted Lanyu Xianzai on the shoulder and bestowed upon him the qualification to infect others; of course, this time it was possible to preserve the consciousness of the infected.

"Thank you."

Lanyu Xianzai said with his head lowered and in a muffled voice; at this moment, he didn't dare to raise his head at all, let alone make a sound.

He was afraid that if he made a sound again, his ugly state would be exposed in front of his daughter.

The dignity of a father would not be maintained.

"Alright, Nayue-chan, have you all finished eating? It's about time for us to go."

Su Nian looked at Nangong Nayue, who was wiping her mouth, and Agulora, who was struggling with her ice cream, and asked with a smile.

"Finished a long time ago."

Nangong Nayue rolled her eyes at Su Nian; if Su Nian hadn't been dragging things out with Lan Yu Qiancong, she would have gone back to rest long ago.

"Then let's go."

Afterwards, Su Nian left the space to this pair of father and daughter.

Lan Yu Qiancong looked at Lanyu Xianzai, not knowing what to say, but Lanyu Xianzai's attitude of not daring to look up at her ultimately stirred up her rebellion again.

"Minister Lanyu, are you that afraid to look up at your daughter?"

Lanyu Xianzai remained silent, keeping his head down without responding.

It wasn't until Lan Yu Qiancong left her seat that soft sobbing sounds could be heard.

Lan Yu Qiancong's pace faltered, but in the end, she did not turn back, which could be considered giving Lanyu Xianzai his dignity as a father.
