Complex Family

"Big brother, the quality of your planet is very good! If developed properly, it's not impossible for it to evolve into a level seven life planet. Plus, there are rich Fire Ant Mine resources underground. The assessed value might not be lower than a level six life planet!"

"Uh... really?" Xi Ye responded somewhat blankly, watching the little loli playing with the planet data instrument.

His younger sister was called Neeko Aierdia, and she looked younger than he had imagined, like a child of only about two hundred years old. She looked very different from him. He inherited more of their mother, the Night Demon's, features, while she was more like their father: azure skin, a round, petite apple face, and a pair of deep blue eyes unique to the Thunder Clan, with thunder patterns at the bottom, looking like two beautiful Diamond Stars!

But it wasn't good for her to become a glasses-wearer at such a young age, and with such thick lenses, she must be a bookworm. Should he send her a set of "Ten Years of College Entrance Exams, a Century of Simulations"?

"Brother, I feel like you've been scammed. With the quality of your planet and such high-quality energy mines, you could get a loan of 10 billion at a 4% interest rate from a regular bank."

Xi Ye: "..."

I knew it!!

"Hey, that's not right. Why are you so familiar with loans?" Xi Ye asked curiously.

"I was curious when I was flipping through Dad's bills. By the way, how come you two fell for the same woman? Is that woman very beautiful?"

What kind of stuff has Dad been teaching all day? What does being scammed have to do with whether the other party is beautiful or not?

Xi Ye prepared to correct his little sister's values, so he said in a deep voice, "Don't always focus on superficial things. The teacher is a Celestial who has lived for tens of thousands of epochs, unfathomable. The reason she can get money from us is because of her unparalleled skills and experience!"

Neeko: "..."

"Ahem..." Dad coughed, "Your sister is still young, don't drive recklessly!"

Xi Ye: "I didn't!!"

"Brother..." Little Neeko didn't seem to hear their words. She picked up the data instrument and observed it carefully for a long time. "Although the development value of your planet is high, it shouldn't be able to give birth to intelligent life so quickly due to its location, unless there's artificial intervention. How did you cultivate Green Titans so quickly?"

"Well..." Xi Ye was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. If he honestly said he had abducted them, it would seem a bit wretched. He couldn't let his little sister have that kind of impression on their first meeting!

Seeing that her brother didn't speak, Little Neeko turned to look at the players chattering beside her.

The players couldn't understand Xi Ye's language, so they started discussing the appearance of the NPCs out of boredom.

"Wow, this lord's sister's model is so cute! Guess what the lord looks like?"

"Who knows? He wears such a thick helmet all day, isn't he afraid of getting prickly heat?"

"Do you think he'll be as mighty as his old man?"

"I think he might be a simpleton..."

"That's not true!"

Suddenly, a cute voice interrupted the players' discussion. The players were stunned for a moment, turned their heads, and saw the little loli's round face approaching, and they immediately became excited: "Wow, the NPC is talking to us, and speaking in Federation language! The plot is here, the plot is here! Who's going to talk to her?"

"I'll go, I'll go!" Grandpa Lu jumped over vigorously, deliberately putting on airs, "Respected... um... Princess, may I ask what service you require?"

"My brother is very good-looking!" Little Neeko retorted.

Xi Ye stared blankly at the little girl. He hadn't passed the language database to her, but she could actually communicate with those guys normally?

The language system of that planet was quite complex, especially the language of the Huaxia region, which was somewhat similar to the main language of their universe Federation. Both were difficult languages to learn and master. Back then, the AI had spent more than half a month analyzing that language. Even if an ordinary person was given the analyzed language database, they would have to digest it for several days.

In Xi Ye's understanding, only the Ancient Elf's 'Listening' and the arcane 'Word Comprehension Spell' could instantly analyze the other party's language!

The Ancient Elf bloodline was a high-end bloodline second only to the Celestial Race, and it wasn't sold on the market at all. Little sister must be using the second method, but... isn't Word Comprehension Spell a level four arcane spell?

This girl can use level four arcane spells before even converting her arcane bloodline?

This talent... truly worthy of being from the same source as this lord!

He secretly vowed in his heart that he must find her a good arcane gene, and must not let her waste her talent in vain!

While Xi Ye was secretly thinking about the little girl's future, Neeko, sulking at the incredulous looks of the players, continued, "My brother is really good-looking. This helmet was personally customized for him by his teacher at the Celestial Group Academy because he was too handsome and might affect other people's studies!"

Everyone was immediately shocked!

"Wow, this is the first time in my life I've heard of someone being so handsome that it could affect other people's studies? I must see it today!" Grandpa Lu was the first to express his opinion.

"I don't believe it! Neither I nor my athlete's foot believe it!" Little Fairy with Athlete's Foot quickly chimed in.

"Not studying well is the fault of the person studying. Affecting studies is just an excuse for slackers!" Yu Nv Wu Gua, the academic genius, pushed up her glasses and said seriously, "Didn't I still become the top science student in the province while simping over Zhongji oppa?"

"Actually, I don't believe it either!" Little Neeko suddenly changed her tune, giggling, "There are no photos at home, it's all what my mom said, and she also said that his helmet cost several million!"

This broken helmet cost Dad several million? Xi Ye's eyes twitched. He suddenly felt that his family's bankruptcy had no necessary connection with which school he went to. Why did Grandpa choose Dad, this spendthrift, as the family head in the first place?

"Brother, can you take off your helmet and let us see?" Neeko shook Xi Ye's arm and coquettishly pleaded.

Being fawned over for the first time, Xi Ye felt his heart melting into water. He couldn't muster a serious tone anymore and could only forcibly hold back from speaking.

The last time he didn't hold back and took off his helmet, something extremely terrible happened because he was too good-looking. He still has some lingering trauma from it, which is why he still wears a helmet even when he sleeps!

The old man on the side sighed and picked up Neeko, "Don't be naughty, your brother's appearance really can't be revealed..." At this point, he hesitated, as if thinking of something terrible, and shook his head, "I'll tell you about this later."

Neeko had no choice but to say dejectedly, "Okay..."

Really? The players were stunned. Although they didn't understand what the big man was saying, his tone made it sound like the guy wearing the helmet could cause a disaster just by taking it off.

Pull the other one, right?

At the same time, somewhere on the Federation's Ziyao Star, a tall Thunder Warrior received news from his subordinates about Xi Ye's return while strolling in the park.

This Thunder Clan's big man looked very heroic, with features seven or eight parts similar to Xi Ye's father, but even more majestic. Compared to Xi Ye, who was a half-baked, he looked more like a high-ranking lord!

Ziyao Star is one of the top ten administrative stars in the eastern Federation. It is the birthplace of the Ancient Elves. The planet's energy level is extremely high, and the buildings throughout the planet are constructed from the planet's unique Purple Dragon Crystal, resulting in expensive land prices that consistently rank among the top ten of the Federation's total planets!

Those who can be stationed on this planet are all old families with more than an era of heritage. The Eldia Family only managed to move in after he became a Star Marshal!

That's right, he is the old ancestor of the Eldia Family of this generation: Aierdia Longjue!

Longjue can be said to be the Thunder Warrior with the highest achievements in the history of the Eldia Family. He was almost one step away from bringing the family into the threshold of the upper aristocracy, but unfortunately, he failed to cross that step and enter the Dragon-level life!

In fact, he still had a 30% chance in the end, but he didn't dare to take the risk. Once the evolution failed and he died, his purified genes would not be left behind, and all these years of effort would be wasted!

This is also the sorrow of a family leader. He can't just go all-in, he must consider the issue of inheritance, so in the end, he didn't take the risk and chose to condense his efforts and extract the genes.

Once the genes are extracted, it means that his evolutionary journey has come to an end!

Now, he has been a leisurely old man for tens of thousands of years, and he probably has less than tens of thousands of years left before his death...

The days he can take care of this family are getting fewer and fewer...

But fortunately, this generation of descendants is still quite promising. A Thunder Warrior with qualifications no weaker than his own has emerged. In fact, there is also a Celestial with even better qualifications, but it's a pity that it would be better if they didn't fight each other...

Longjue sighed softly. As an old monster who had lived for so many years, and who had even managed to become a Star Marshal under a high-end lord, how could he not see through the tricks his eldest son was using to scheme against his youngest son?

However, he also had his own selfish motives at the time. Mainly, he was hoping that a Celestial Lord could emerge from the family. After all, if that happened, the family would instantly rise to a new level. Perhaps his eldest son had seen this point, which was why he dared to blatantly scheme against his younger brother, right?

Now, he had gotten his wish. The second son's family had been miserably schemed against. Not only was the position of clan leader schemed away, but their money was also schemed away. He even schemed away the genes of the old couple. He really went all out to screw over his own brother. If he hadn't been around, who knows what excessive things he would have done!

Thinking of this, he felt even more helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Now, the eldest son's son, Raine, was the mainstay of the family's next generation. At a young age, he had already evolved to level twelve, even more outstanding than he had been in his own day. This forced him to tacitly approve of some of the things the eldest son had done.

It was also his fault. He hadn't expected that his own thick family fortune couldn't withstand the drain. He had indeed underestimated the Celestial Group Academy's ability to swindle money!

After the second son's child graduated, the family could only provide him with a level eight planet at most, and the possibility of further venture capital was extremely low. On the contrary, the eldest son's son, Raine, was in the golden stage of rapid evolution. At that time, he could only choose to concentrate resources on a more secure point, and tacitly agreed to let the second son's child go on an interstellar journey on his own!

However, what he never expected was that the second son's child hadn't died outside, and had even luckily found a level eight life planet, and the planet even had a level two energy mine!

This was originally a pleasant surprise, and he should have been gratified, but at this time, a sense of worry inexplicably rose in his heart.

The eldest and second sons' families were already at odds with each other. If one family was dominant, it would be fine, but he didn't expect the second son's child to be so promising...

This might not be a good thing after all. The decline of a family sometimes doesn't come from the outside, but from internal strife!
