Chapter 347

Yu Dibei.

The last Long Wang in the history of the Yu family was named Yu Tiannan.

One is "Heaven," one is "Earth," one is "South," one is "North."

The name of the young man in front of her was completely opposite to Yu Tiannan's.

The person who gave the young man this name was definitely not negligent; it must have been done deliberately.

Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand, and Lin Shu You moved the golden mace away from the young man's body.

Although the confinement was lifted, clear vigilance still remained in the young man's eyes.

In the air, a vulture flew over, constantly descending in altitude; in its claws, there was a small yellow dog trembling with fear—it was exactly the one Yu Dibei had just sent out to warn the villagers.

However, when seeing this scene, Yu Dibei was not only not irritable or angry, but instead seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The vulture loosened its claws, and the small yellow dog was dropped, landing steadily into Yu Dibei's arms.

Immediately after, the vulture began to circle back and forth above everyone's heads, then spread its wings again and flew toward the village.

Yu Dibei, while stroking the small yellow dog's head, bowed his head to Li Zhuiyuan and the others, bowing halfway:

"Sorry, I was rude and offensive just now."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Who is the owner of that vulture just now?"

"It's Grandpa's.

Grandpa is the person who built this village with his own hands.

Grandpa thinks you are honored guests of the village; now, please follow me."

Yu Dibei made a "please" gesture.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he loosened his hand, and the small yellow dog, which had recovered from the high-altitude flight, landed steadily on its own.

Yu Dibei smiled a bit embarrassedly, facing Li Zhuiyuan and the others, and performed the Yu family door etiquette.

He should rarely use this etiquette, and it might even be the first time in his life he performed it for an outsider.

That's why he didn't react earlier, and his movements were very slow when performing it; although it didn't reach the point of stuttering, it couldn't be called smooth either.

In the Jianghu, it had been more than sixty years since a real Yu family member performed this etiquette to an outsider.

The current "Yu family," although still retaining these etiquettes and calling themselves Yu family members to the outside world, was nothing more than a monkey wearing a hat.

Chen Xiyuan turned to the side.

After Yu Dibei finished the etiquette, she was waiting for Li Zhuiyuan to return the etiquette.

No matter how small and down-and-out this village was, it was still the location of the Long Wang orthodoxy.

She assumed the teenager should be the first to return the etiquette, which could be considered an acknowledgment of the teenager's order ahead of her.

First, because the teenager had already saved her twice in this wave, and she had also promised to be utilized by him for the remainder of this wave;

Second, there is also an order among the Long Wang courts, although it wouldn't be done openly, and they wouldn't bow their heads to outsiders at all, but in their own hearts, there was actually a scale.

Even without mentioning the "noble" status of these two Long Wang courts, if the Qin and Liu families were taken out individually, their historical prestige and status were also above the Long Wang Chen family.

But Chen Xiyuan discovered that the teenager had no intention of returning the etiquette.

Moreover, just now when Yu Dibei performed the etiquette, the teenager didn't turn half his body to indicate he wouldn't accept the full etiquette.

Yu Dibei, after finishing the etiquette, was a bit embarrassed.

It wasn't embarrassment that no one returned the etiquette to him, but rather shame at his own unfamiliarity when performing the etiquette earlier.

The young man smiled and was about to wave his hand forward, signaling everyone to follow him to the village.

Chen Xiyuan took a step forward and performed the Chen family door etiquette to the young man.

Yu Dibei was a bit flustered, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

By the time Chen Xiyuan was halfway through the etiquette, he remembered what Grandpa had taught him before and immediately turned around.

Others turned to the side, but he turned his head and directly turned his back.

Immediately, he turned back again and readjusted the angle.

By the time Chen Xiyuan finished the etiquette, the young man revealed a thoughtful look, trying hard to recall.

When he first learned to remember things, Grandpa taught him some door etiquettes in the Jianghu, and the other Long Wang families were definitely on the list.

But firstly, the memory was long ago, and secondly, he was just busy spinning around earlier and didn't see the other party's etiquette movements completely.

Chen Xiyuan took the initiative to speak: "Inheritor of the Long Wang Chen family, Chen Xiyuan."

Yu Dibei: "I am surnamed Yu, no, inheritor of the Long Wang Yu family, Yu Dibei."

Li Zhuiyuan still didn't move, like a wild man without door etiquette.

Yu Dibei: "I have made you all laugh; please follow me."

The young man led the way in front, and everyone followed behind.

In the farmland on both sides of the road, people were working.

A cow that was originally grazing there first raised its head to look this way, then took the initiative to touch the man working in the field next to it with its hoof.

This action was like one good friend patting another good friend on the shoulder, signaling him to watch the fun.

In the distance, a group of women sat along the river in two groups; one group held kitchen knives with wooden blocks in front of them, and the other group had a large basket of salt placed in front of them.

Fish in the river were constantly thrown out and landed on the shore; the women with kitchen knives killed the fish, cleaned them internally, and threw them back into the river.

After being washed clean of blood in the river, the fish were thrown out of the river again and landed in front of the other group of women, who began to apply salt for curing.

Helping to catch fish in the river was a group of animals in the water; several thick, long water ripples swayed in this area from time to time, like a water net, driving and controlling the fish school in the water—those were several crocodiles.

At the entrance of the village, there was a fruit forest, and a row of donkeys stood outside.

A group of squirrels were busy inside, each squirrel hanging a cloth bag; they first picked the ripe fruit and put it in the cloth bag, and after it was full, they ran out and poured it into the large baskets on the donkeys.

Whichever donkey's basket was filled first, that donkey would leave the team on its own and walk toward the village; if nothing went wrong, there should also be animals responsible for unloading the cargo there.

Walking into the village, although the houses on both sides were all wooden structures and even bricks and tiles were rare, the pursuit of aesthetics was not low at all; flying eaves and carvings, everything was available.

Through the windows that were not closed, one could see the situation inside.

On the bed, there were three children under one year old; one was sleeping, and the other two were playing and crawling.

The old-fashioned wooden bed was very high, and there was no guardrail on the edge, but a giant python was lying there.

When a child was about to crawl out of the bed's range and was about to fall, the python's tail reached out, gently wrapped around the child, and put him back in the innermost part.

The child thought it was very fun and crawled toward the edge of the bed again, as if just to experience this feeling of being lifted high again.

The environment here was very quiet and secluded, and the Peach Blossom Spring was nothing more than this, plus this scene of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals gave people the feeling of walking into a fairy tale.

Although the young man was not a tour guide, he could still give a simple introduction, but every time he wanted to speak, when he turned his head and saw Chen Xiyuan, he would be a bit constrained, and the words would always be stuck on the tip of his tongue and couldn't be spoken.

It was no longer a hostile state,

but Chen Xiyuan's lethality to the young man was even greater than when in a hostile state.

Everyone just continued walking very quietly like this.

Many people in the village raised their heads to look at the "guests," and many animals were also curiously sizing them up.

In the center of the village, there was an ancestral hall; this was the only building in the entire village with bricks and tiles.

Yu Dibei didn't take everyone to the ancestral hall, but walked into the three-story wooden building next to the ancestral hall.

That Grandpa should live here.

The first floor was a reception hall with many wooden benches; when the village held meetings to discuss matters on weekdays, it should be here.

The most eye-catching thing was the bamboo-green pattern on the walls of the first floor, with bright colors, as if having life, and very rich in aesthetic feeling.

But if one walked closer, one would find that these bamboo greens could also raise their heads and look at you; this was not paint, but small lizards clinging to them.

Going up to the second floor, the first thing that caught the eye was a leopard.

It was lying on a straw mat with a pillow under its head, lying on its side like a human.

The leopard was old, thin, and drawn, its skin sagging to the ground, its tail slowly swinging.

Beside it, an old man was sitting there drinking tea; his hair was half white and half gold, his face was like withered leaves, but in his eyes, a fierce light flowed.

When Li Zhuiyuan and the others came up from the stairs, he had been sizing up the newcomers all along.

Yu Dibei stood on tiptoe, looked at the leopard first, and whispered: "Leopard Grandpa is taking a nap."

The leopard opened its eyes a little, and its tail also swung a few times quickly as a gesture, then closed its eyes again.

The old man drinking tea beside it asked at this time: "Guests?"

"Mm, Lion Grandpa, they are Grandpa's guests; I'm taking them to see Grandpa."

Old man: "The guards must stay on the second floor."

Yu Dibei: "This..."

Old man: "This is the rule."

Yu Dibei: "Lion Grandpa, why didn't I know there was such a rule before?"

Old man: "Because there were no guests before."

Yu Dibei turned his head to look at Li Zhuiyuan and the others a bit embarrassedly.

Chen Xiyuan looked at Li Zhuiyuan, seeking his opinion.

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "I can understand."

Chen Xiyuan took the teenager's hand, signaling Yu Dibei to continue leading the way.

Yu Dibei walked up the stairs first, and Chen Xiyuan and the teenager followed side by side.

The old man drinking tea seemed hesitant, but neither the young woman nor the teenager looked like guards.

Moreover, there were already three people left on this floor.

After Brother Xiaoyuan and Chen Xiyuan went upstairs, Tan Wenbin walked to the window, took out a cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

While exhaling smoke rings, his eyes switched to snake pupils, and he began to size up the village.

The old man who was riding a rickshaw carrying three children earlier was so cautious outside.

At that time, Tan Wenbin imagined that their nest should be filled with a tense and murderous atmosphere.

But the facts were not like that.

Brother Xiaoyuan said when breaking the formation earlier that the formation under the bridge was very simple, equivalent to the gate being undefended, and this village inside was even more peaceful.

Rather than saying they were trembling under the deterrence and reconnaissance of the "Yu family," it was better to say that they were living a peaceful life here.

This was truly too much of a contrast.

Under a condescending scrutiny, Tan Wenbin really saw some things.

That was that this village was not based on family units.

To be more specific, it could even be said that in this village, there was no such combination as "husband and wife."

After finishing a cigarette, Tan Wenbin pulled out another cigarette and thought to himself:

Could it be that the continuation of this village relied on "borrowing seeds"?

Lin Shu You was very curious about that leopard, so he simply squatted down in front of the leopard.

The leopard's eyes opened again, and a fierce gaze shot directly at Lin Shu You, wanting to give this boy who disturbed its nap a little jungle lesson.

This bit of pressure didn't count for much to the current Lin Shu You, but it stimulated Lin Shu You's instinctive reaction, and his vertical pupils opened.

The leopard's body tightened directly at this moment, and the originally lazy sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Lin Shu You shook his head, his vertical pupils dissipated; seeing that he had accidentally scared the other party, he felt guilty, so he reached out and touched the leopard's head.

"You continue to sleep, continue to sleep."

The leopard's tail slowly curled up.

Lin Shu You smiled; this reminded him of Xiao Hei at home.

The Lion Grandpa drinking tea, because his back was to Lin Shu You, didn't see the vertical pupils; after noticing the abnormality of his old partner, he wanted to stand up to check.

As a result, Runsheng sat down in front of him: "I'm thirsty, want to ask for some water."

Lion Grandpa sneered, lifted the lid of his teapot, and immediately various crawling insects such as wet centipedes scurried out.

The color of the tea in the cup earlier was not caused by tea leaves.

Lion Grandpa flicked his fingertips back and forth, pushing all the poisonous insects that were trying to escape back, put the lid back on, pushed the teapot forward, and looked at Runsheng.

He originally thought Runsheng would wave his hand in fear, or even falling off the stool in a panic would be excusable.

Who knew, Lion Grandpa saw that this tall and strong young man in front of him, far from being afraid, was instead swallowing his saliva with great anticipation.

"Thank you."

Runsheng picked up the teapot that had been pushed in front of him, didn't pour tea into the cup, directly opened the teapot lid, looked up and opened his mouth, and with a "glug glug," the tea and poisonous insects were all poured into Runsheng's mouth.

Next came the sounds of chewing and swallowing.

"Hoo..."

After drinking, Runsheng even held up the teapot and shook it, letting the two poisonous insects clinging to the inner wall fall into his mouth, without the slightest waste.

Putting down the teapot, Runsheng licked his tongue and said with lingering interest:

"Delicious."

Runsheng had known earlier that this tea was abnormal, because this tea fragrance could actually arouse his appetite.

When at home, Tan Wenbin would go to drink Grandma Liu's tea; Runsheng had never done so, he wasn't used to drinking tea, and no matter how good the tea was, it was bitter to him.

He liked to use a large tea mug, pick a few agastache leaves and put them in, or put a few pieces of dried orange peel, so that it was satisfying to drink.

Lion Grandpa's mouth twitched, and long whiskers stood up on his face.

This was the tea he brewed for himself; even he could only digest the tea water and couldn't eat the poisonous insects inside, but this person in front of him...

At this moment, Lion Grandpa realized that his approach of keeping the other party's guards on this floor had no meaning at all.

Because he and the leopard didn't have the ability to stop this group of people at all.

What difference did it make whether they were here or upstairs?

Lion Grandpa: "Are you... human?"

Runsheng: "Human."

Lion Grandpa: "This... is still human?"

After a pause, Runsheng stretched out his finger and pointed at Lion Grandpa: "I know, you are not human."

Lion Grandpa: "You saw it?"

Runsheng shook his head: "It was smelled out."

Lion Grandpa: "Smelled out? I'm not like that lazy leopard; I often take baths and even use soap."

Runsheng: "You are a lion, right? I met another lion, just like you, who looked very much like a human, but you are already old, and he was still young."

Lion Grandpa's expression immediately became grave, and he subconsciously asked: "Another lion that looks like a human?"

He subconsciously thought of that place; only in that place would it not be strange for any humanoid monster to be born.

Runsheng: "Mm."

Lion Grandpa: "Are you guys together?"

Runsheng: "No, he died."

Lion Grandpa didn't even realize himself that while speaking, his fingers were constantly scratching on the table, and a perfectly good coffee table surface was scratched with many dents by him.

Runsheng lowered his head, looked at Lion Grandpa's fingers, and said: "Don't be afraid."

Lion Grandpa withdrew his hand and shook his head: "I... am not afraid; how could I possibly be afraid."

Runsheng: "No need to be afraid, I've eaten it; lion meat doesn't taste good, it's sour and gets stuck in the teeth."

A "creak creak" sound came from Lion Grandpa's mouth; he was grinding his teeth—not grinding his teeth in anger, but really being scared.

Tan Wenbin withdrew his gaze and looked into the room.

A leopard was trembling with fear from being touched by A-You, and a lion was chattering its teeth in front of Runsheng.

The third floor was Grandpa; these two monsters being able to guard the second floor was likely the village's top combat power.

But even though A-You and Runsheng didn't take the initiative to release malice, they still shocked them.

How did such a weak village manage to keep going all this time?

No, why did I have this sense of disparity in my heart?

It was because of Yu Dibei.

Because when he first entered from the formation, he met Yu Dibei.

That young man could fight with Runsheng, and could try to struggle hard in Chen Xiyuan's domain.

Although Yu Dibei was quickly subdued, everyone was relying on numbers; his personal strength was actually very extraordinary.

In other words, excluding that Grandpa whom he hadn't seen yet, Yu Dibei should be the strongest one in this village.

Was it talent?

No wonder this kid could be given this name.

Tiannandibei (South and North).

Tan Wenbin walked to Runsheng's side and patted Runsheng's arm; Runsheng stepped back a few steps.

No longer needing to face Runsheng, Lion Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Wenbin: "How should I address you?"

Lion Grandpa: "People in the village all call me... Lion Grandpa."

Tan Wenbin smiled.

Lion Grandpa: "Address me however you like."

Tan Wenbin: "Lion Brother, can I ask you something?"

Lion Grandpa shook his head: "I cannot tell outsiders the secrets of the village."

Tan Wenbin: "We have already entered the village, so we are not outsiders, unless you want to push us out."

Lion Grandpa: "I didn't mean that..."

Tan Wenbin: "How do people here have children?"

Lion Grandpa: "I haven't mated for decades."

Tan Wenbin wanted to ask about humans, but Lion Grandpa should have substituted himself as a human too.

Anyway, it was the same, and he could ask about it.

Tan Wenbin: "Is it because you are old?"

Hearing this, Lion Grandpa's face turned red.

Obviously, not just men, as long as they are male, they will instinctively feel disgusted when facing this kind of questioning.

Lion Grandpa: "I'm not old yet. They have a nest here, but there is only me, this one lion, here; now you can't see other lions outside at all. I don't like the female lions raised in zoos.

Even if I mated with her, her constitution wouldn't be able to give birth to my offspring."

Tan Wenbin: "That's truly a pity, a hero with no place to use his martial arts."

Lion Grandpa nodded and sighed: "Yeah, it's really missing the past..."

Halfway through the sentence, Lion Grandpa got stuck.

That home, he could no longer go back to.

Tan Wenbin heard it; although the current Yu family had become a paradise for animals, there were still monsters loyal to the previous Yu family, just like the lion in front of him and the leopard lying down.

Monsters are not a whole; when the Yu family changed internally, there should have been monsters who resisted the rule of monsters.

But the resources and conditions of the Yu family were not possessed by the outside world; only in the Yu family could monsters achieve normal reproduction and development.

The lifespan of monsters is generally longer than that of ordinary people.

So in the past, the Yu family had the tradition that when the master died, his companion monster had to be buried with him.

Lion Grandpa said he wasn't old, which should be true.

Without the support of the abundant resources of the previous Yu family, he and that leopard should both have aged prematurely, and it seemed they had also developed reproductive isolation from the same species.

Tan Wenbin: "Yeah, the past was truly good; even in Henan, there were elephants in history; back then, it was easy for everyone to find a partner."

Lion Grandpa said sheepishly: "Yeah, that's right."

Tan Wenbin turned and asked again: "What about the people here? Do they get married?"

Lion Grandpa: "There will be pairs, but they won't get married, and they won't be allowed to have children."

Tan Wenbin: "Why?"

"It's a bit complicated, I don't understand." Lion Grandpa pointed upstairs, "Only Grandpa understands."

Tan Wenbin: "You also call him Grandpa?"

Lion Grandpa: "Because her name is Grandpa."

Yu Dibei stopped his steps halfway up the stairs, indicating that he could only send them here; he hadn't received Grandpa's summons and couldn't go up to the third floor.

And when Li Zhuiyuan and Chen Xiyuan went up to the third floor, what they saw was a young woman waiting at the top of the stairs.

Her age seemed to be the same as Chen Xiyuan's.

At first glance, one would think she was a villager taking care of Grandpa's daily life, but on the entire third floor, she was the only one.

Chen Xiyuan: "Are you Grandpa?"

The woman smiled and responded: "I don't dare to put on airs in front of honored guests; 'Grandpa' is my name, although people in the village also call me Grandpa."

Chen Xiyuan: "How do the villagers call it out?"

The woman raised her head, and then this action continued; only a "crack" sound was heard, her original head folded in, and a new head flipped up.

It was a very standard male elderly man's face, kind, generous, and benevolent.

At the same time, her arms and legs also began to shrink and twist one after another; the young woman's skin disappeared, replaced by wrinkles like skin wrapped around bones and age spots all over, and even her back hunched down.

Grandpa spoke: "This image is what I usually use to manage the village, but the two of you are honored guests, and I don't want to lose etiquette; please choose for yourselves what appearance I should use to meet you."

Chen Xiyuan: "The guest follows the host's convenience."

Grandpa: "Yes."

Grandpa's head flipped again, and her body also twisted and folded again; the young woman's image reappeared, only her skin was a bit flushed, there was some fine sweat on her face, and her chest heaved slightly.

Chen Xiyuan: "This image is truly good-looking."

Grandpa: "Compared to you, it's like a firefly compared to the bright moon."

This was originally a common self-deprecating remark, but Chen Xiyuan looked at Li Zhuiyuan beside her and pointed to her own face:

"Am I really that good-looking?"

Li Zhuiyuan didn't answer this question and walked directly behind a guest seat table and sat down.

The table and the hanging ornaments all around trembled twice, and soon returned to calm.

There were restrictions on the third floor, but these restrictions had already been broken by the teenager.

What the other party sent up was humility and respect, and what Li Zhuiyuan returned was a small warning.

From entering the village and meeting Yu Dibei, Chen Xiyuan had noticed the teenager's abnormality.

If it were their first meeting, she would think this was normal; a teenager from a Long Wang court having a bit of youthful spirit, or even being arrogant, was the most normal thing.

But she had seen the teenager and his partners' ability to restrain their aura, and had even seen the teenager's acting skills.

She knew that if he wanted to, he could definitely behave very appropriately; in this regard, he was far superior to her.

However, although she had doubts, Chen Xiyuan didn't ask, but walked to the other side and sat down behind the guest seat.

Grandpa: "Two guests, please take your seats."

Chen Xiyuan: "Just sit anywhere."

Grandpa: "Yes."

Grandpa didn't take the upper seat either, but chose a guest seat diagonally opposite and knelt down.

"I have already asked people to prepare a banquet; the conditions in the village are simple, please forgive me for the crime of poor hospitality."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's get straight to the point."

Grandpa: "I have been looking forward to the arrival of the two of you."

Chen Xiyuan: "Do you know us?"

Grandpa: "I don't know the two honored guests; what I pray for is for Heaven to open its eyes."

At this time, a shout came from downstairs outside: "Grandpa, the food is ready."

White silk threads were released from Grandpa's ten fingers, falling from the window, and then recovered; plates of delicacies landed steadily in front of Li Zhuiyuan and Chen Xiyuan.

Along with the bowls, chopsticks, and spoons, they also landed neatly, and the fruit wine in the cups didn't spill a drop.

Regarding this, Li Zhuiyuan and Chen Xiyuan were not surprised.

When she changed her image earlier, both of them had seen her true form.

Grandpa was not human, but a spider; she had many faces and many tentacles, which allowed her to achieve a perfect switch of images, and disguise was not the same concept.

After setting the wine and food, Grandpa continued:

"An orthodox Long Wang family actually ended up in such a state; I don't believe Heaven would really just let it go like this!"

Grandpa was very excited.

Moreover, her judgment was not wrong.

With her ability, she could only bring these real Yu family members to linger on here.

She couldn't do anything to the current Yu family; any direct resistance would be no different from throwing an egg against a rock.

But it couldn't be denied that the Yu family's operation of sealing the door for sixty years back then did successfully delay Heaven's reckoning of it.

Next was Grandpa's time to cry and complain; she had too much stuffiness, grievances, unwillingness, and anger in her heart that needed to be vented.

In the past, these emotions could not be expressed to the villagers; it would bring panic to the village, and she had been playing the role of a warm elder, bringing stability and hope to the villagers.

Chen Xiyuan picked up the fruit wine in front of her and smelled it; it was very fragrant, but she didn't drink it.

When going out, anyone with a brain wouldn't drink wine or tea provided by others casually.

But Chen Xiyuan soon saw that the teenager sitting beside her picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The taste was quite good.

This was wine, but it didn't have the traditional taste of wine, only the enhancement of wine fragrance, making the fruit honey more mellow.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Zhuiyuan picked up his chopsticks and began to pick up food.

All the dishes in front of him were not complicated, and the cooking method was very simple, but the ingredients were all very fresh.

Chen Xiyuan: "Is it good?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Mm."

Chen Xiyuan was still hesitating; if the teenager was poisoned, with her here, the situation wouldn't collapse, but if both of them were poisoned, even if there were three people downstairs, it would be too late.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Drink it."

Chen Xiyuan drank it, then nodded happily and constantly: "It's really good; how was it brewed?"

She had always had a special fondness for eating; setting aside her identity as a Chen family woman, she was just a big gluttonous girl.

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and continued to eat.

Chen Xiyuan's question suddenly interrupted Grandpa's complaint, making Grandpa's emotions incoherent.

This time, the teenager didn't interrupt, but she interrupted herself.

Chen Xiyuan immediately realized it and apologized: "Sorry, you continue; I was rude."

Grandpa smiled: "It's okay; the two honored guests are willing to drink the wine here and eat the food here; I am very moved, really."

Immediately after, Grandpa clapped her hands, then took out an empty box and opened it.

Before long, a "buzzing" sound came from outside, and a group of bees flew in from outside the window, lined up collectively, and fell into the box.

Grandpa closed and locked the box, stood up, walked to Chen Xiyuan, and placed the box on the table.

"Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, open the box, make a mark, let them wake up, and after a month, you can follow the mark to find the wine pit they brewed themselves; leave them twenty percent, and the rest can all be taken away."

"Thank you."

Chen Xiyuan took the box.

Grandpa didn't sit back in her original position, but simply knelt down in the direction facing Li Zhuiyuan and Chen Xiyuan.

Next, she stopped venting her emotions and began to seriously recount her experiences.

When the change happened in the Yu family, she was still young, just a small spider monster in the nursery, that is, a nanny.

The giant python watching the children that Li Zhuiyuan saw when entering the village earlier was not an exception.

The Yu family had always had the tradition of letting monsters take care of their own children.

Firstly, it could let the Yu family members get used to getting along with monsters from a young age; secondly, suffering from monster aura erosion too early could also make the Yu family members' future cultivation path smoother, which could be considered laying the foundation from birth.

Of course, if ordinary people stayed with monsters for a long time, their bodies would undergo strange changes, either becoming seriously ill or mentally deranged; however, the Yu family had a method to solve this problem.

In short, a nanny couldn't possibly know the high-level truth of the Yu family's change back then; she could only provide her own perspective.

Before the change happened, the Yu family Long Wang returned.

Before the Long Wang left home earlier, he specifically left behind a legacy instruction.

This meant that the elderly Long Wang went to find a tomb for himself.

This was the romance belonging to the Long Wangs of all generations, letting himself, whose lifespan was about to end, exert the greatest value, and before dying, suppress a powerful evil spirit again.

The Yu family, at that time, had already accepted this reality; the era of their own Long Wang of this generation was about to move toward the curtain.

After all, it was a Long Wang court, and they had more experience with this kind of thing.

But when Yu Tiannan returned to the Yu family again, the entire clan was also plunged into a huge surprise.

After all, everyone hoped that their own Long Wang could last longer; although the Long Wang's ambition was not for private gain, the objective existence of the Long Wang could indeed bring protection and stability to the family, as well as the benefits of rain and dew being shared equally in the distribution of merit.

Grandpa: "However, no one knew at that time that this was the beginning of a nightmare..."

Zhao Yi, as the eldest young master of the Zhao family, his "betrayal" could trigger a huge earthquake in the entire Jiujiang Zhao, let alone the "contemporary Long Wang."

Li Zhuiyuan knew that the one who returned to the Yu family was not Yu Tiannan, but the old dog beside Yu Tiannan.

No one would have thought that the Long Wang, who was regarded by the whole clan as the supreme existence, would actually take action against the Yu family members.

This was almost an unsolvable situation.

Although he didn't know how much of Yu Tiannan's strength during his lifetime that old dog could exert, that was after all a Long Wang body, and it wasn't like the one Zhao Wuyang had been suppressing for many years after being divided; Yu Tiannan at that time had just died, and in secular terms, his body was not yet cold.

Therefore, in terms of absolute strength, even if it was not as good as the real Long Wang, it must have been quite terrifying.

Combined with the fact that he held the highest authority in the family, whether it was the family managers, clan elders, or elders, they all had to unconditionally bow their heads in front of him.

It was too simple for him to want to cause trouble and destruction.

What was even more ridiculous was that if the Yu family was not an orthodox Long Wang family, but "dirty" like the Jiujiang Zhao back then, it would have been more likely to stop this disaster; at the very least, it could have greatly reduced the impact of the disaster.

For example, those old immortals under the ancestral house of the Jiujiang Zhao family were afraid of death at that time and all shrank inside, unwilling to sacrifice themselves to come out; but if they were willing to contribute to the family, and were really the kind of people who would wake up to protect the family in the future crisis, then the ones who should have died at that time were Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi.

But the Yu family didn't have this kind of "dirty stuff"; the Yu family elders were truly elders in the traditional sense, living a bit longer, having a higher seniority, and also being a bit stronger in ability.

That kind of thing that wanted to survive in a special way might have been cleaned up by Yu Tiannan himself as soon as he achieved Long Wang.

In short, at that time, the Yu family simply didn't exist, and there was no power that could stop Yu Tiannan.

Grandpa: "The occurrence of the disaster had signs; first, those terrifying existences suppressed by the Long Wangs of all generations suddenly rioted collectively...

Under the command of the Long Wang, the Yu family paid a heavy price and re-suppressed this strange chaotic situation.

For this, many people were killed and injured; I was transferred from the nursery to treat the wounded at that time.

But at that time, I discovered a strange thing, which was that the seriously injured and dead were basically Yu family members, while their companion monsters were at most lightly injured.

This was not in line with common sense.

The Yu family monsters signed contracts with Yu family members from a young age; as Yu family monsters, protecting their masters with their lives in danger was seen as a matter of course, was our responsibility, and even more so our mission.

Occasional accidents, failing to protect in time, could still be understood, but how could there be a large number of masters dead or disabled while the monsters were almost unharmed?

Moreover, when the master died, his companion monster had to be buried with him.

At that time, the funeral and burial were already being prepared according to the ancestral system.

The Long Wang summoned the remaining family backbones in the clan to go to a forbidden area to discuss matters on the grounds that the previous turmoil might rise again; as a result, the people who went in never came out in the end.

That night, the real disaster happened.

I had completed my previous duties and returned to the nursery, and suddenly saw the fire rising outside and the sounds of screaming and killing.

I once thought I had auditory hallucinations, or was dreaming while asleep.

As a Long Wang court, and also with the contemporary Long Wang sitting in town, how could it encounter an enemy attack?

When I ran out of the nursery, I saw... a large number of monsters slaughtering Yu family members."

Recalling the scene from sixty years ago, tears still flowed on Grandpa's face.

Li Zhuiyuan finished eating and put down his chopsticks.

Chen Xiyuan picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining fruit wine.

Grandpa waved her hand, and the wine pot was wrapped in white silk and flew over to pour wine for Chen Xiyuan.

When the wine pot moved and wanted to pour a little more for the teenager, the teenager covered the wine glass with his hand.

"I'm still young and can't drink too much."

Tasting it was enough; there was no wine taste, but this was wine after all.

Grandpa: "There is pure fruit drink; would you like to taste it?"
