Where is the saber?
Where is my forty-meter great saber?
Shen Maomao, bring me my saber.
I’m going to kill Du Yaoyao, that babbling idiot—
Amidst Su Nanyin’s roar, Du Yaoyao, without even time to put on her shoes, jumped up barefoot and bolted out of the tent, covering a hundred meters. Then, she scrambled up a tree.
“Better to switch to twigs. Whipping her face will be the most satisfying.”
Li Qianfan also felt a bit awkward. He got up and said, “Sister Guanyin, please wait a moment. I’ll go catch her for you.”
He slipped on his shoes and also exited the tent.
“Hang Du Yaoyao up!”
Su Nanyin shouted outwards, then raised her hand and removed the strip of paper from her face.
After discarding the paper, she lazily propped her left cheek on her hand, reclining in front of the caterpillar. With her right hand, she casually picked a grape from the fruit platter, put it in her mouth, and asked, “What have you discovered?”
The caterpillars exchanged glances.
Shen Zui asked cautiously, “Mom, which aspect are you referring to?”
Su Nanyin raised an eyebrow. “You don’t think I’m planning to turn Li Qianfan into your stepfather, do you, like that silly child?”
The caterpillars—
Shen Yun thought for a moment and said, “Mom, Yaoyao has changed.”
Shen Zui then realized. “Right, right, right! Yaoyao has truly changed!”
Du Junlin had become increasingly normal, especially after she had formed the Bai Du Bird with Li Qianfan and traveled abroad.
Sigh.
Su Nanyin sighed softly and asked, “Do you like having the little brats around at our house?”
Without a second thought, the caterpillars nodded vigorously in unison.
Su Nanyin asked again, “Then can you tell if he likes being at our house?”
The caterpillars exchanged glances again and replied, “Too happy to think of home.”
That’s right.
Two days after Li Qianfan moved into the Shen household, he transformed from his initial cautiousness to being too happy to think of home.
The four beauties of the old residence were all naturally stunning.
With diverse personalities, they could play cards, compete in drinking, cook well, and dress fashionably.
Most importantly, they all enjoyed Li Qianfan’s lack of formality.
This made him feel completely at home, increasingly acting like a lord.
He was only a step away from sitting in a grand chair and calling for Sister Guanyin to massage his legs.
It was evident.
Li Qianfan’s rapid descent into the state of being “too happy to think of home” was all thanks to the environment meticulously created by the cunning Su Nanyin, silently and without him realizing it.
In fact.
It wasn't just Li Qianfan who had fallen into this state.
Even the caterpillars were no exception.
These two days were undoubtedly the happiest days for the caterpillars since they could remember.
After all, their father was not only busy with work but also traveled to far too many places!
Even if they multiplied to eight people, they might not be able to stay at the old residence all the time.
And yet.
The places Old Shen frequented were not suitable for normal people like Su Nanyin and the others to stay for long periods.
Now.
After Su Nanyin’s reminder, the intelligent caterpillars suddenly realized something.
They immediately became tense. “Mom, is something going to happen to our family?”
Upon hearing their question, a flicker of relief flashed in Su Nanyin’s eyes.
They were her daughters after all. Even when deeply immersed in a “gentle haven,” they could maintain their basic vigilance at any time.
“Yes.”
Su Nanyin picked up another grape and said softly, “The weather is about to change.”
Whose weather was about to change?
The Shen family (Su Nanyin’s branch) was about to change!!
The night Old Shen rushed to Sijiu, he called Su Nanyin.
This was also why Su Nanyin personally led Kui Shu to capture Lin Yifeng overnight and coldly eliminated Luo Chengfeng and his mother.
The Shen family’s sky would change due to the changes in Piaomiao Village.
Piaomiao Village—
It was a place as famous as Kunlun Blazing Valley. Even the Eight Hundred Emperors Valley where Li Nanfang lived in seclusion couldn't compare.
All the dragon veins in the world originated from Kunlun.
Kunlun was divided into two dragon veins.
One was the land dragon, and the other was the water dragon.
The land dragon was Blazing Valley, and the water dragon was Piaomiao Village.
Compared to the fiery Blazing Valley, Piaomiao Village, where the “dragon eye” of the water dragon was located, was predominantly gentle and feminine.
No matter how normal a woman was, after living in Piaomiao Village for a long time, her body would undergo changes.
Zhuang Chun, one of the experts on par with Yang Xiao, and Zhan Xiaobai, Old Shen’s most recognized girlfriend, were beautiful in their clothes but revealed their tails when undressed.
Simply put—
Living in Piaomiao Village for a long time would cause the tailbone to develop significantly, gradually growing a white tail!
Piaomiao Village was destined to be Shen Yue’s final resting place.
“The Piaomiao Village hides the Heavenly Pool, the eye of the water dragon. Its color has changed from seven-colored to azure blue.”
Su Nanyin didn't need to explain more of Piaomiao Village’s magical aspects to her daughters.
She only needed them to understand that when the Heavenly Pool’s color changed from seven-colored to azure blue, it would signify the great change for the Shen family (Su Nanyin’s branch).
This was because it represented Shen Yue having to reside in Piaomiao Village forever.
“Whether it’s the land dragon or the water dragon, these are Taoist concepts.”
“Taoism emphasizes that in times of peace, Buddhism prevails, and in times of chaos, Taoism reigns.”
“When the world is unstable, Buddhist temples close their doors.”
“When disaster strikes the world, the Taoist sect emerges.”
“Piaomiao Village is the same.”
“Currently, the Eastern Land is experiencing a period of peace, and it is also time for the Taoist sect to withdraw.”
“This is why the Heavenly Pool water of the water dragon, the seven colors converge into one.”
“Your father, since he could be with Xiao Zhuang, is the person chosen by the water dragon.”
“If, when the seven colors converge into one, he is still in the outside world.”
Su Nanyin paused and said softly, “There might be trouble.”
Shen Zui nervously asked, “Will this trouble affect our great fortune?”
Great fortune.
Also known as national fortune—
“Children, don’t ask so many questions.”
Su Nanyin did not explain further. “You only need to know that your father might not see you again in his lifetime.”
The caterpillars were stunned.
Su Nanyin also fell silent.
After an unknown period of time.
Su Nanyin asked, “Do you want to reside in Piaomiao Village forever?”
The caterpillars shook their heads in unison.
The outside world was so wonderful, and they were still so young. Who would want to live a life of seclusion?
“I don’t want to live that kind of life either,”
Su Nanyin said. “Therefore, when your father called last night to ask for my opinion, I didn’t consider it for too long before refusing. I still want to see my little Maomao, little Worm, and little Yaoyao enjoy the prosperous Eastern Land that their predecessors worked hard to achieve in this world after they are born.”
The caterpillars did not feel embarrassed and nodded in unison.
“A home without a man is not a complete home. Especially since Lin Yifeng, that ungrateful wretch, has ruined our family’s reputation.”
Su Nanyin’s eyes turned cold. “Therefore, we must ensure that while Yaoyao becomes the village head’s wife in Lijia Village, we must have a man in the family to support us and shield us from the wind and rain.”
This man was Li Qianfan.
But to keep Li Qianfan, mere wealth and beauty were not enough.
They had to create an environment for him where he would be too happy to think of home once he arrived.
With Su Nanyin’s skills, achieving this was not too difficult.
This was also why she increasingly indulged Li Qianfan’s lack of formality in front of her.
“As long as our family is well and happy, and we don’t do anything immoral, we don’t need to care what others say.”
Su Nanyin said with disdain. “If I had cared about this and that when I was young, then none of you would exist.”
“Mom.”
Shen Zui said with some worry, “What if that brat becomes more and more presumptuous?”
“You underestimate him.”
Su Nanyin smiled. “If he lacks the most basic principles, then he wouldn’t be worthy of being Li Wujiang’s only son.”
The caterpillars breathed a sigh of relief.
They still had great faith in Su Nanyin’s judgment of people.
Outside the tent.
Li Qianfan and Du Junlin were lying on the branches of a large tree, with their legs crossed, looking very relaxed as they gazed at the stars through the treetops.
“Li Qianfan.”
Du Junlin gently rocked her toes and whispered, “Have you thought about your home in Qingyun these past two days? About Su Ziyu?”
“No.”
Li Qianfan said, “Let alone me, any man, after being with the four of you, wouldn’t think of their original home.”
Joy quickly surfaced in Du Junlin’s eyes.
However, Li Qianfan changed the subject. “But by the day after tomorrow at the latest, I have to return to Tiandong.”
Du Junlin looked up. “You just said.”
“Yaoyao.”
Li Qianfan interrupted her. “Do you really think I can’t see that this is the family atmosphere Guanyin deliberately created to make me too happy to think of home?”
Du Junlin blinked and asked, “Too happy to think of home?”
Li Qianfan, however, answered the unasked question. “Is something going to happen to your family?”
“What could happen to our family!”
Du Junlin immediately sat up, her snow-white feet dangling back and forth on the branches.
“I don’t know the specifics.”
Li Qianfan also sat up, facing her. “But my intuition tells me that Guanyin’s change in attitude towards me, though traceless, is very abrupt.”
Du Junlin frowned.
Compared to the Maomao sisters, her perceptiveness in life was much weaker.
“Let’s make a bet.”
Li Qianfan said, “I’ll take you to Blackwater Forest with me. If you lose, you’ll obediently stay at home and cheer me on.”
He only had a year left to live, and his life and death had long been disregarded.
Du Junlin, however, could live a hundred years.
“No bet!”
Du Junlin shook her head without thinking and refused. “Without me, would Bai Du Bird still be called Bai Du Bird?”
That’s true.
After all, she was the “belly” of Bai Du Bird.
Du Junlin asked curiously, “What are you betting with me on?”
“I bet Guanyin—”
Li Qianfan looked towards the tent. “Tomorrow she will find an excuse to head north to Sijiu.”
