Ch'en turned her head and asked, "I feel like there's a hint of regret in your tone."

Wei Yanwu pursed his lips. "There are definitely regrets, but they will soon be gone. In ten years, I will still be strong and healthy."

Not having children is Wenyue's biggest regret, a sentiment Ch'en deeply understands, as she has been raised by Wenyue as her own daughter since childhood.

Regardless, Wei Yanwu was once the crown prince of Yan Country, but if True Dragon and Master Huang's plan succeeds, it means that the feudal system, which is mainly based on blood ties, will be completely destroyed.

At this point, because the system had changed, Wei Yanwu no longer needed to worry about his identity.

Fortunately, his Wenyue's bloodlines are strong enough that they will still be strong and healthy in another ten years or so.

"Alright, I'm going back to cooking. Chen, why don't you go down and talk to the aunties and older sisters? It'll broaden your horizons."

Ch'en nodded, then went downstairs and greeted the other women shyly.

Chapter 682 Nian: eldest sister, if you don't want to eat, then I'll eat first!

Before the meal, Old Chen, surrounded by his elders, truly felt a sense of oppression.

As the youngest person present, Ch'en's little dragon naturally became the focus of attention.

The second youngest is Wenyue.

But sometimes one's attitude towards life doesn't become more composed with age, at least that's the case for Theresia and Jie.

In Terra's land, being forever young is not just an exclamation.

Meanwhile, at the top of a tower.

Feeling melancholy, Nian chugs beer that has no alcohol content for her, and the more she drinks, the more bitter it becomes.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same; some are happy while others are sad.

Some people eat grass, some drink water, and some have neither grass to eat nor water to drink.

"My sister Mingming is back, and everything's fine at home, but why can't I be happy? I want to go in and eat too, and I want a seat."

Actually, Nian could indeed go in, but the banquet had already begun.

She still understood the rule of not bringing guests.

Although she didn't care about human formalities, there was actually some truth to this rule.

Going there would only cause trouble for the host family, and with both of her older sisters there, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to talk to Huang Cao.

"Can we watch another movie next time?"

When I opened my phone's chat history, the last time I chatted with my brother-in-law was half a month ago, and it was just a private comment without any other communication.

Sometimes there are only a few messages throughout the entire year.

Previously, the two communicated quite frequently, but as the bed in Master Huang's house expanded, their communication with Nian became more of a comfort.

She didn't want that kind of comfort; I want to sit at the table!

"Little sister, I noticed you seem particularly down. Is there anything eldest sister can do to help?"

Just then, Nian heard her eldest sister's gentle voice, which almost scared her so much that she jumped off the building.

"Eldest sister, where are you?"

"I don't even know where I am; I'm sending you a message from thousands of miles away."

"You must really have a lot of free time. The longest we've gone without contacting each other was decades. What brings you here today?"

Nian pouted. Her eldest sister always complained about not caring about her younger siblings, so generally speaking, the family didn't respect her much.

At least when Ling was taking a bath, her sisters dared to barge right in.

Ling, who was thousands of miles away, said with a smile, "While I was enjoying the freedom of the world, I suddenly sensed that Sister Nian was in a low mood. I remembered that the last time we met was a year ago, so I came to see what had happened."

Nian was a little angry because her older eldest sister was still teasing her, acting as a riddle solver. Since that's the case, she didn't need to pretend with her anymore.

They're all ancient dragons, why are you pretending to be a fox with me?

I've blown your account out!

Nian: "Don't even mention me. More than a year ago, I wasn't the only one who used to wrap Huang Cao around her tail under the table. I've touched Xi's tail many times, and I hugged Sister Shu's tail many times when I was little. It's not the same feeling at all."

"My tail is on my butt. Apart from Xi Mei and Shu Jie, you and I were the only ones with tails among those present. It couldn't possibly be Master Huang's tail, could it? Besides, we both used magic to make the sensation as close as possible to Xi and Shu."

Ling: "Xiao Nian has really grown up. That's right, that tail back then was me, but I was just drunk and a little out of it, and I mistook Master Huang's leg for a pillar."

Nian chuckled, "You can fool your sister, but don't fool yourself. When you're drunk, look at Mr. Huang's eyes, so full of affection! You're bolder than me. If it weren't for Master Huang's strong fighting ability, you probably would have already started eating him."

"It really hurts me, as the older sister, to think that way. How could I possibly take something from my younger sister?"

"So you won't snatch it; you're just waiting for someone to obediently come to you and make a mistake. It's just a pity that Huang Cao was chosen by two older sisters and a younger sister for a reason. He even completely ignored you."

She already knew her eldest sister's playing style.

She couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart, but she could get Huang Cao to make a mistake on her own initiative. Unfortunately, she tried for many years without any success.

There were signs from the very beginning with the millet, and by dusk, having set a precedent, they gradually became bolder.

When Jie was resurrected, they didn't even bother with acting anymore.

What kind of telepathic communication is this? I bet you were already floating in the sky watching when Rhodes Island arrived at Lungmen.

"You're really lewd, eldest sister. You're even more outrageous than me. We know your power all too well."

How do you know I'm watching?

"I'm guessing, but I'm pretty sure."

He finished a can of beer in one go and confidently crumpled the metal can into a small iron ball.

After a long silence, he said, "Would you believe me if I said I was craving the wine from Utopia?"

Nian nodded. "Of course I believe you, but I think you're not only craving the wine from Utopia, you're also craving the only person who can brew it. After all, if you really crave the wine, you can just ask Jie to bring it to you. Huang Cao isn't that stingy."

"So tell me, when exactly did it start? I remember that Master Huang spent less time with you than with me. What made this ethereal eldest sister of mine fall for worldly desires?"

Nian heard a long sigh, as if it were a lingering regret, or perhaps a lament that this was a tragic fate.

"Okay... okay, this story goes back decades."

That is, when Master Huang first set foot on the land of Yan Country to meet Shu, before Shu confessed her feelings, Master Huang had a "romantic encounter".

After learning the full story of what happened that year, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

"When I heard from Yu Di that you were here to act as a bodyguard, I never expected so many things to happen. How confident are you in Master Huang that you think he won't make a mistake?"

"I thought I might make a mistake, that we were both drunk, but actually I was the only one who was drunk, while he was very well-behaved."

Ling was helpless; perhaps this was fate, and once it came, there was no stopping it.

I had already let go of the past and decided to give my happiness to my younger sister.

But Xi's arrival later was like opening Pandora's box; it turned out that her good sister Shu didn't mind at all.

But logically speaking, this is something that's hard to talk about, so Ling suddenly started arguing with herself.

Even though Ling has a carefree attitude, she still has basic principles; she doesn't just do whatever she wants. But now she's like a fairy who has fallen to earth, bound by worldly constraints.

Her younger sister and brother didn't quite understand her, but after that drunken night, she realized that Master Huang really understood her, so she began to understand this man as well.

Studying the history of Utopia and what it did on that land, one can easily become engrossed.

However, Ling was still stubbornly denying it, and even after Nian exposed her, she kept saying that she could control herself.

This made Nian scoff. "Like I said, there's no point in deceiving yourself."

"Although I don't dare to say much, I was much more frank than you just now. I never expected that our eldest and most straightforward eldest sister would become a woman who doesn't even dare to speak the truth. Perhaps this is what they mean by things turning around when they reach their extreme?"

Chapter 683 Ch'en: What did you send me?

The two remained silent in their mental world, able only to vent their inner torment and contemplation under the cover of night.

"Eldest sister, you can just stay here. I'm not willing to give up. If Xi Gua can win, why can't I? Jie Jie has already gone in, so why can't I? If she can bite, why can't I?"

At this time, her mindset was much more frank than Ling's; it was like adding peas to a spicy hot pot – she was completely engrossed in it.

Try to find an opportunity to build a relationship with Master Huang, or swallow your pride and ask your older or younger sister for help.

She definitely won't be a "loser"!

Let the eldest sister handle the "loser" type of thing!

After a simple meal at Wei Lao Er's house, the women declined Princess Wenyue's request to stay overnight; in reality, Wenyue was just being polite.

Despite being the Governor-General of Lungmen, Wei Yanwu's house was not very large; at least his bed was certainly not as big as the one in Master Huang's house.

There was enough room, but none of the women wanted to sleep separately from their husband, Ah Cao.

Ch'en felt a little regretful; the eldest sister's warm greetings had really made her feel like an embryo.

After Master Huang and his wife left, the dragon was left with many gifts.

While clearing away the dishes, Wenyue was the most moved. "Well, isn't that pink-haired lady the legendary Demon King Sarkaz who destroyed the world?"

The women in Master Huang's household were lively and cheerful, clearly well protected by their men.

But this liveliness and cheerfulness is not the ignorance one might imagine; rather, it is a unique charm hidden deep within.

Whether it was the Sui Beast or the Sarkaz King, Wenyue very clearly.

The women in Huang Cao's family are all formidable, and surprisingly united. They can expand their territory externally and create a warm and welcoming haven internally.

Utopia's current achievements are inseparable from the efforts of Huang Cao and her team, especially the renowned reputation of First Lady Warfarin.

During Utopia's expansion, Warfarin has almost been hailed by historians as Terra's best helper in history.

With everyone united in purpose, what family cannot prosper?

Indeed, this was the case. When Huang Cao was still impoverished, Warfarin took charge of almost half of the administrative affairs within the territory, and often offered very unique insights.

The little vampire lived much longer than Huang Cao and naturally had more experience. Although Yellow Grass surpassed her after learning through practice, Yellow Grass's efforts and contributions could not be denied.

After chatting with Aunt Wenyue at home for a while, Ch'en returned to the police station.

Soon, only the elderly couple remained in the large house.

Wenyue: "Hengo, are you going to talk to your younger brother tonight?"

Wei Yanwu suddenly wanted to take a puff of his cigarette, but Wenyue stopped him, shaking her head helplessly.

"It's time. Keeping this bottled up isn't going to work. We have to face what we have to face, whether it's life or death, we have to get through it first."

Wenyue's expression softened considerably. "If what Mr. Huang said is true, we'll soon be able to relax completely, and you can go back and see your brother."

"By then, we can finally have a child, and I can become a competent mother."

In the dead of night, Wei Yanwu looked at the online icon of True Dragon the chat software, suppressed his fear, clicked on the chat bar, and typed a message.

Wei Yanwu: "Your Majesty... it's been a long time."

About a minute later, the True Dragon replied.

True Dragon: "Long time no see, elder brother."

The word "elder brother" almost brought Wei Yanwu to tears on the spot, and he even felt a sense of regret.

How many years has it been since I felt any family affection? The royal family is truly heartless.

The True Dragon, thousands of miles away, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He hadn't shed a tear in decades; the last time he cried was when his father passed away.

The True Dragon continued, "Let me tell you about my sins."

Wei Yanwu quickly replied, "The True Dragon is innocent."

True Dragon: "If I hadn't seen the edict of self-reproach, I would have believed it. But what happened before was indeed my fault. I misjudged the consequences and also misjudged the ambition of that Sui Beast."

At this moment, the two brothers finally had the opportunity to express their past experiences over the years.

It took Wei Yanwu more than an hour to truly understand that what happened decades ago was actually an accident.

According to his younger brother's plan, if their father had not passed away at that time, everything would have been incredibly simple.

But then, the unexpected happened. He had run too fast and his younger brother didn't have time to explain anything.
