Chapter 25 Im the only good kid at home.
Madam Yuan recalled Yuan Su's sinister and ruthless appearance, and she shivered in fear, quickly saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't watch the child properly and caused you displeasure.From now on, I will definitely not indulge him anymore.
I will properly teach Yuan Xu how to conduct himself and strive to make him as excellent as his parents and second uncle, becoming a talent who contributes to the country!
Let's not trouble our respective commanders with such a small matter; they are all busy dealing with the beast tide.
"Yan Zhao smiled nonchalantly, "Madam Yuan, if you hadn't said something in the child's ear, this little fellow wouldn't have targeted my Darling for no reason.I know what you're scheming, even if others don't.Do you want to suppress the Eighth Legion's commander's wife and continue to show off your superiority?
Unfortunately, I also happen to have this intention: to use you to establish my Darling's prestige!
Let everyone see that although Wu Yan has retreated to become the Eighth Legion's commander, and I am no longer the Interstellar Sanctuary's Saint, and Shang Qi of the Interstellar Federation's Shang Family is still unconscious.However, Qiu Ling is not someone anyone can come up and bully.Whoever makes her unhappy is going against the forces behind us.
This is a matter of Face, and no one dares to challenge us, right?
We're taking the little fellow. Later, have your commander come pick him up personally!
"After speaking, he threw Yuan Xu into his attendant's arms and disdainfully wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
He then saw that Qiu Ling's clothes were a bit wrinkled and wanted to smooth them, but considering they were outside, the veins on his forehead throbbed due to his fastidious nature.Qiu Ling smiled and quickly raised her hand, casting a Dust Clearing Art on herself, making herself feel fresh and her clothes smooth and spotless.Only then did Yan Zhao look pleased.
He took her hand and motioned for the attendant to follow.He looked slender and refined, without the aggressive aura of a drawn sword that military men possessed, yet his calm, undeniable suppressive manner made people obey faster than their minds could process.The attendant, holding Yuan Xu, followed behind them, continuing to shop.Yuan Xu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Quan Feng, am I particularly annoying?
Do very few people genuinely like me? Is it only because I am the Yuan Family's only direct descendant?
"The attendant smiled, "Young Master is smart and handsome, who wouldn't like.
.." Seeing Yuan Xu puff out his cheeks, he sighed slightly, "Actually, Young Master is usually quite good; he just becomes a bit mischievous when he hears Madam Yuan's complaints.
"Yuan Xu fell silent, just like this time.He greatly admired General Wu.
Hearing Madam Yuan say that Qiu Ling was just pretty and lucky, completely unworthy of General Wu, and seeing her just arrive and already charming other men while leaving General Wu at home.
.. he wanted to stand up for General Wu, which was why he went to bully Qiu Ling.
"Here, your throat must be dry from crying for so long, right?
Have some juice," Qiu Ling handed him a cup of freshly squeezed juice, biting her straw and smiling.Yuan Xu awkwardly took it, just about to say thank you, when he heard her say, "Remember to keep crying when you see your second uncle later.
The harder you cry, the more he will take your education seriously.
""I, I won't cry," he fiercely sucked on the juice.
"Haven't you heard that the squeaky wheel gets the grease?
He's your second uncle, your closest relative.
Crying only works in front of him. Who cares about your precious tears?
""But Second Aunt said Second Uncle doesn't like men crying.
..""So your second uncle sees you smiling and thinks your second aunt treats you well, tsk.
Children are so easy to trick, Darling, why don't we abduct this little fellow home and let him be your plaything?
" Yan Zhao said with a smile, but there was a hint of desolation in his smile.Qiu Ling's eyes shifted.
From the Original Owner's memories and what she learned online, S-Level and above Warriors had only a three percent chance of having offspring due to overly strengthened genes, almost akin to being cut off from descendants.Since ancient times, people have been particularly obsessed with progeny.
The more powerful a man, the more he hopes his hard-earned family fortune can benefit his descendants.S-Level and above Warriors, unable to have offspring, also constantly faced being pulled into arranged marriages by the System, raising other men's children for their wives.
This kind of humiliation could drive a person mad.Actually, in the Cultivation World, the higher a Cultivator's cultivation, the more difficult it was to have offspring, but the degree of difficulty was insignificant compared to that of Interstellar Warriors.She glanced at the wary Yuan Xu and pouted, "No, just me as the only Darling at home is enough!
"Yan Zhao hugged her and chuckled, the trace of annoyance in his heart long gone.After walking half a street, Qiu Ling was full, and they returned home.When they returned to the flying shuttle, Wu Yan was drinking tea and talking with a dark-faced, burly man, both looking impatient.
"Second Uncle," Yuan Xu saw the man and called out.
His raised voice caused a dull pain in his stomach, and all his grievances could no longer be held back.
He burst into wails.Yuan Su stood up and walked to the attendant, somewhat at a loss as he looked at the toddler reaching out for a hug.
He stiffly pulled him into his arms, patted his back, and nodded apologetically to Yan Zhao and Qiu Ling, "I've already heard about what happened in the market.
It's my fault for not managing my Family Members well and causing trouble for Little Sister-in-law and Mr. Yan.
"Qiu Ling looked at Wu Yan's indifferent expression and smiled, "commander Yuan, let's skip the pleasantries.If it weren't for your indulgence, your commander's wife wouldn't have deliberately provoked me.Who doesn't know that when my General Wu was the commander, you loved to stick your neck out and oppose him, thinking you were more capable and that your soldiers were better, saying things like a general outside the camp doesn't have to obey all orders?
You didn't do a few foolish things, turning good victories into Pyrrhic ones, with merits and demerits canceling each other out.Now that my General Wu is on par with you, and even the Quartermaster commander you despise the most for hiding in the rear, you must have your eyes even higher, right?
Don't say you're busy and can't look after your family; the confidence of the Family Members is all given by you.Without your tacit approval, are they tired of the heavy burden on their heads and deliberately seeking a guillotine?
"Wu Yan stared blankly at the Little Girl at the door, a faint smile suddenly appearing on his lips.Yuan Su's dark Face was even a bit red from her words.
He stammered, "I didn't. I just thought that as a commander on the battlefield, I could make better judgments based on the specific situation.
""commander Yuan, sometimes, people shouldn't think too highly of themselves.All I know is that the disputes under your nose haven't been resolved, and the Yuan Family's only sprout has been twisted by your good commander's wife.She must have done many things under the guise of 'for her nephew's good' to benefit her own children, right?
Children are young and can be taught slowly, but once some dark things are planted, tsk, your Yuan Family will have no successors, paving the way for her children!
"Qiu Ling shrugged and smiled, not taking it too seriously, just digging a pit for Madam Yuan on one side and a ditch on the other.Yuan Xu had experienced too much that evening.
Once he accepted Qiu Ling's words, placing Madam Yuan in a position of'smothering with kindness,' many things he recalled would take on a different meaning.He was a six-year-old child.
No matter how much Madam Yuan led him astray, children from Great Families/Aristocratic Houses experienced a lot, and he had been without parents since childhood, making him more mature than children from ordinary families, though it usually didn't show.He wailed, tugging at Yuan Su's collar with a pouting mouth, "Second Uncle, I don't want to become a hateful person and have my head chopped off!
Everyone likes the older brother and sister Second Aunt gave birth to, but they don't like me.
But I'm very well-behaved; I do everything Second Aunt says.
Why am I still disliked?"Qiu Ling raised an eyebrow.
This fickle young grass turned quickly; the pit-digging power was immense! The little fellow has some tricks.
