Chapter 175: Chapter 175

In the end, it was Sun who added salt to everyone’s noodles, and only then did the cold noodles become tasty.

As for the crabs, none of the adults dared to eat them; instead, it was the little ones, along with Yu Xiaolian, who ate them with great enjoyment.

Sun and Yu Changhe had no idea about Yu Xiaolian buying crabs in Bohai City. Yu Xiaolian had been too busy these days to remember to eat them, and had planned to bring them out today for everyone to taste. Unexpectedly, they were afraid of these things and didn’t dare to eat them.

In the end, only after Little Tiger’s strong persuasion, did Sun Fengshou give in and try a bite.

With just that one bite, Sun Fengshou fell in love with the taste of the crab.

Sun Fengshou handed one to Sun, "Sis, try this, it doesn’t taste bad at all; it’s really delicious."

Sun turned her head away, covering her nose, "Take it farther away, it smells too fishy to me."

Originally, she was struggling to swallow the sweet noodles, and now with the smell of crab, she felt even more nauseated and uncomfortable.

Yu Xiaolian quickly said, "Uncle, if my mother doesn’t eat, let it be; crabs are cold in nature, and it’s not good for pregnant women to eat."

Sun Fengshou then turned to Yu Changhe, "Brother-in-law, you try it, taste it; really, it’s good." Get full chapters from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Yu Changhe shook his head, thinking that except for the crab shell, there’s not much meat; how good could it possibly taste?

No matter how good it is, it can’t be as fragrant as braised pork. He would still prefer to eat braised pork, or braised pig intestines.

Old Lady Sun also refused to eat it; she found this oddly shaped thing too creepy.

With so many legs, how could anyone dare to eat it?

In the end, the sixteen crabs were completely devoured by Sun Fengshou and the four kids.

Su Jingyue licked his lips, clearly craving more. As expected, Sister Xiaolian was amazing, always able to conjure up things he had never eaten before.

He recalled hearing his elder brother mention Sister Xiaolian wanting to cling to someone powerful. Su Jingyue resolutely decided to study hard, achieve fame and success later, so that Sister Xiaolian could rely on him.

Little Tiger sighed in his heart, lamenting how such delicious crabs were only found in the sea, and they weren’t near the sea in Yu State.

Alas, there wouldn’t be another meal after this one.

Ever since the family opened a braised meat shop, there had been braised meat at almost every meal. To be honest, they had gotten tired of it, more than enough of it.

The cold noodles made by Yu Xiaolian didn’t have any leftovers, but that was definitely not because they were tasty. It was out of the idea to not waste food that everyone ate them with furrowed brows.

The dinner summary from her parents: In the future, don’t enter the kitchen anymore; just make more money and hire a cook for when you get married. If you can’t cook and have no money, it’ll be hard to get married.

The idea was simple for Yu Xiaolian, having a large supermarket’s worth of ingredients but only cooking one or two dishes for each meal, repeatedly making potato and meat stew, or cabbage and potato stew, and cabbage and meat stew.

It was all stewed dishes, she was tired of them.

If it weren’t for the many secrets in her family, she really wanted to hire a chef and have eight dishes every meal, full of color, aroma, and taste.

Alas, such good ingredients were wasted.

Her assessment of her own cold noodles: a delicious imagination, but an average reality.

Feeling a bit down, she returned to her room, planning to feed Miao Yingyao.

At that moment, Miao Yingyao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, seemingly adjusting her breath.

Seeing Yu Xiaolian enter, Miao Yingyao quickly stopped cultivating.

Eager to ask Yu Xiaolian if she could send a message out.

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "The whole of Luocheng is sealed now; not even a fly could get out."

Miao Yingyao immediately felt deflated.

What to do? A month ago, she had left the valley with Brother Yunfan, but after being separated from him for just half a day, she was captured.

The Great Elder and her father have always been ambitious, not accepting Uncle Qi’s control. She feared that with her disappearance, her father and the Great Elder would use the opportunity to stir up trouble.

The valley had been isolated and destitute for years, facing problems even with food and drink. Ban on marrying outsiders also led to declining descendants in the Witch Clan.

Fortunately, three years ago, Uncle Qi, against all opposition, sent some people out of the valley to do business, which gradually improved valley conditions.

It’s just getting better; there shouldn’t be any internal conflicts now.

Outsiders all think the Witch Clan is mysterious and terrifying, not knowing that the Witch Clan is about to ruin itself.

If it weren’t for the youth, most of whom are either dumb or slow-witted, the elders wouldn’t have agreed to let them out at all.

Actually, she also understood the Great Elder’s concern, wasn’t it his sister, Xi Sijin, who betrayed the clan and left him with a shadow?

After twenty years of cultivating a new Witch Clan Saintess, she ran away with all her skills, a plumed bird, and a wild man.

It’s said that the Great Elder was almost furious when he heard that Xi Sijin eloped, determined to have her captured and punished.

But later, the people sent out from the valley returned empty-handed every time, not because they couldn’t find Xi Sijin, but because Xi Sijin was too strong, no one could match her.

Eventually, Xi Sijin became a taboo topic in the Witch Clan; it’s forbidden to mention her, as if she never existed.

Miao Yingyao took a deep breath and continued, "After Xi Sijin ran away, the clan chose a new Saintess, who happened to be your biological mother, Leng Yuerong.

When you were in Yangcheng, you saw Leng Yuesheng, right? She’s actually your aunt.

Aside from Leng Yuesheng, you have another aunt, who is my mom, Leng Xuetong."

Yu Xiaolian raised her eyebrows; does this mean she saved her biological cousin?

And her cousin likes her own brother?

This complicated relationship seemed as if everyone in the valley was related by blood, and most were products of close kin marriages.

"Can you tell me the story of my biological parents?"

Originally not wanting to listen, but since she had already heard so much, might as well learn a bit more.

Miao Yingyao saw Yu Xiaolian’s interest and began to tell everything she knew.

Over twenty years ago, Yu Xiaolian’s biological father, Qi Haitian, was a notable figure in their clan, not only handsome but also exceptionally skilled in martial arts.

At that time, many, many girls in the clan liked Qi Haitian.

Leng Yuerong and Miao Qinya were among them.

Despite having many admirers, Qi Haitian uniquely favored Leng Yuerong.

To express his love for Leng Yuerong, Qi Haitian gladly allowed Leng Yuerong to implant the Unity Gu in him.

Thus, Qi Haitian and Leng Yuerong got married naturally.

Not long after marriage, they had their first son, Qi Yunfan.

Three years after the marriage, Qi Haitian outshined everyone at the arena, becoming the new leader of the Witch Clan.

One was the leader, the other the Saintess of the Witch Clan; a perfect match of talent and beauty, truly enviable!

Miao Qinya never got married; she disdained all suitors.

She believed Qi Haitian chose Leng Yuerong only because of Leng Yuerong’s cunning, placing the Unity Gu on him.

To Miao Qinya, Qi Haitian and Leng Yuerong weren’t truly in love; Qi Haitian had been forced.

Miao Qinya began to ignore food and sleep, immersing herself in researching the Longevity Gu.

The Longevity Gu — the king of all Gu.

Miao Qinya thought that as long as she could use the Longevity Gu to break the Unity Gu between Qi Haitian and Leng Yuerong, Qi Haitian would abandon Leng Yuerong and return to her side.
