I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

She pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

But Yuanbao didn't know that her hesitant expression only made her look more pitiful.

"Yuanbao, aren't we family?"

Reaching out to pinch Yuanbao's chubby cheeks, Chen Yuze said softly, "Everyone doesn't necessarily want to dig out the secrets you're hiding in your heart; they just want to help you solve your problems."

"Chen Yuze is right," Ruyi chimed in. "As the saying goes, you can run from the first day of the month but not the fifteenth. Running away won't solve anything. Only by bravely facing him can..."

It can eliminate future problems once and for all.

"But I don't want to cause any more trouble for Brother Yuze and everyone else." Clenching her fists, Yuanbao said with a wry smile, "Isn't Brother Yuze the one who hates trouble the most?"

"Silly girl." Chen Yuze flicked Yuanbao's head lightly and then stretched out a big yawn: "I do hate trouble, that's true, but I hate people who lack responsibility and accountability even more."

"But if it weren't for me, Brother Yuze could continue living the life you like, right?"

"Because I'm the only man in this family."

Ruffled Yuanbao's hair and continued, "When you're happy, I'll laugh with you; when you're sad, I'll cry with you. When you encounter difficulties, I'll help you carry them together. Isn't that what family is all about? If you insist on carrying everything on your own, Yuanbao, then it only shows that you don't consider me and everyone else as your true family."

"No, that's not true!"

Rubbing his slightly sore eyes, Yuanbao knew that it would be a lie to say he dared not move.

Although she genuinely didn't want to drag everyone into her family's mess, given Chen Yuze and everyone else's resolute attitude, it was clear that the matter could no longer be kept secret.

"call……"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Only after he was mentally prepared to face everything together with everyone did Yuanbao open his eyes again.

At the same time, a pair of golden wings and a pair of black feathers also grew from her back.

"As you can see now, in addition to the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc, I also have the bloodline of the Three-Legged Golden Crow flowing through my veins."

At that moment, apart from Chen Yuze, almost all the girls present gasped in unison.

Although hybrid monsters are rare, they have seen them before.

Moreover, generally speaking, there are only two possible outcomes for hybrids of demons and beasts.

First, one bloodline completely overshadows the other. This is why some noble-blooded demon beasts refuse to intermarry with other races.

Second, the fusion of two bloodlines gives birth to entirely new hybrid monsters. Daji and Baosi are good examples.

But a special case like Yuanbao, who inherited the bloodline and characteristics of two kinds of demon beasts without them merging, is simply unheard of.

"Actually, I don't know why I have the bloodlines of both the Great Winged Golden Roc and the Three-Legged Golden Crow. Even my innate talents can be used together."

“You all know that I am the third leader of Lion Camel Ridge, but do you know why my eldest brother is a lion demon, my second brother is an elephant demon, and I am completely different from the two of them?”

"Isn't it because the three of you are sworn siblings?" The one who spoke was Chi Lian, but it represented the sentiments of the vast majority of people.

“We are siblings.” Shaking his head, Yuanbao explained with a bitter expression, “However, we are half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers.”

"Half-siblings?" Chi Lian's expression immediately turned strange.

At the same time, Bai Hua frowned, as if she had thought of something:

"I once heard my elders mention that the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan was once a powerful force in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, comparable to Qingqiu and Tushan. However, tens of thousands of years ago, the giant Fiery Tree where the Golden Crow clan lived was destroyed by a sudden bolt of lightning. In that catastrophe, less than one-tenth of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan remained. Even after recuperating for tens of thousands of years, they still did not amount to much..."

“That’s right.” Nodding, Yuanbao continued, following Bai Hua’s words:

"The Three-Legged Golden Crow clan is a matriarchal society. Although the male members possess the complete bloodline, they cannot pass it on. Only by having the female members drink the sap of the Burning Fire Tree can the clan's bloodline continue. However, in that natural disaster, the Burning Fire Tree was destroyed, and the remaining sap was extremely limited. In addition, more than 90% of the clan perished in that disaster, so the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan's lineage was severely damaged. Seven thousand years ago, the remaining sap was already almost gone."

"Then how were you, Yuanbao, born?" Dai Xi frowned. Although she had also heard about the history of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan, she did not know that there was such a secret involved.

"..."

After a long silence, until an autumn wind blew through the courtyard, Yuanbao finally gritted his teeth and said:

"It's a fake tree sap developed by our clan elders. Although this fake sap can allow the women of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan to give birth, it's extremely unstable. Only about 20% of the eggs will hatch into three-legged golden crows. And those children who aren't from the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan will be abandoned as infants. If my mother hadn't betrayed the clan and taken my two brothers and me to a distant land, we probably wouldn't be alive today..."

133. A foul mouth may feel good for a moment.

As Yuanbao slowly recounted her life story, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became heavy.

After all, no one would have imagined that the girl who always followed Chen Yuze around, calling him "giegie" so affectionately, had such a tragic background.

However, Chi Lian is an exception.

It's not that this girl is worldly-wise, nor that she's heartless.

She simply has the ability to think about a problem for a long time.

"So, Yuanbao, why did your face turn as red as when you saw this picture of the three-legged golden crow?"

"Like you've been kicked out of the house by the master? Since they've already abandoned you like a baby, that proves they have nothing to do with you anymore, right?"

"You're oversimplifying things." Yuanbao shook his head.

"It's not as simple as you saying you have nothing to do with them. In the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan, many people have become almost obsessed in order to continue their bloodline. Some even make their wives and daughters drink fake tree sap constantly, treating them as breeding machines. Back then, in order to capture my mother and bring her back to lay eggs, some people in the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan followed us. They only stopped after my mother passed away."

"How can there be such beasts in this world who don't even treat women as human beings?" Two bright red foxfires ignited in Moxi's eyes.

"It's rare that I've actually reached a consensus with you." On the other side, two frost flowers containing terrifying energy also condensed at Bai Hua's fingertips.

Although Qingqiu and Tushan have been ruled by empresses throughout history, no female fox has ever felt that she is inherently more noble than a male fox, nor has she ever regarded a male fox as a breeding machine.

Moreover, even setting aside gender, the practices of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan are indeed too distorted and extreme.

Anyone with a normal set of values ​​would not condone their behavior, and would even spit phlegm in their face before leaving.

"So, Yuanbao, you think that the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan somehow found out that you have the bloodline of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, so they want to forcibly take you back to their clan?" Connecting the whole story, Ruyi could roughly guess the reason.

"Ah."

With her gaze fixed on Chen Yuze's face, Yuanbao nodded with unwavering determination: "I don't want to lay eggs for anyone but Brother Yuze!"

"Although I'm very touched, please don't say these things so loudly, it's quite embarrassing."

Chen Yuze, both amused and exasperated, pressed down on Yuanbao's shoulder and made him sit in his rocking chair: "In short, Yuanbao, just do what you did in this courtyard before, and continue doing it the same way from now on."

As he spoke, Chen Yuze's eyes suddenly sharpened. Immediately afterward, an exceptionally strong killing intent rose from his body.

"Without my permission, let's see who has the ability to take you away from me."

"Brother Yuze..."

Having spent so much time with Chen Yuze, not only Yuanbao, but all the other girls had never seen him lose his temper before.

Don't let his usual carefree attitude fool you; if anyone crosses him, Chen Yuze might just retaliate by driving his dump truck and attacking that person's horse.

As the saying goes, "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will surely kill them."

See those two fingers I, Chen Yuze, am making a peace sign with? It doesn't mean I'm sandwiching cheese between two buns; it means you only have two more minutes to live.

"Don't worry, Yuanbao. Not only you, young master, but we will protect you too."

"Damn it, although I wish there were fewer women around the master, if anyone dares to take his women without his permission, I, Chi Lian, will be the first to fight them to the death!"

“That’s right. If anyone dares to take you to lay eggs, I, Ruyi, guarantee that for the next ten generations, no one will have a bell in their crotch.”

"Ahem... Although I'm only staying here temporarily, Young Master Chen not only didn't charge me a single penny, but also gave me so much good food and drink every day. Even for Young Master Chen's sake, I will never let the Golden Crow Clan touch a hair on your head. Anyway, the Golden Crow Clan is only half-dead right now. If they really want to be expelled from the Ten Thousand Mountains, I, Tu Shan, will definitely fight them to the end."

"Everyone……"

Moved by the sight of his family surrounding him, Yuanbao's eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down his face like pearls.

"Why is the wind so strong tonight? It's blowing sand into my eyes."

"Come on, cry if you want to, no one will laugh at you."

He patted Yuanbao on the back and glanced at the remaining mooncakes on the plate.

He gave it all to Wenwen, who had been covering her ears and hiding to the side, not daring to eavesdrop, and told her to fly slowly on her way home. Then, Chen Yuze took out two jars of osmanthus wine from his system space:

"Speaking of which, Yuanbao, are your eldest and second eldest brothers in Lion Camel Ridge alright?"

"It's alright. Although my eldest and second brothers are a bit dim-witted, their cultivation is much stronger than mine. In addition, there are countless lesser demons guarding Lion Camel Ridge, so the Golden Crow Clan wouldn't be foolish enough to target them. This letter is probably because they're worried about me traveling alone and want to remind me to be careful."

"So your eldest and second eldest brothers really dote on you."

I often hear Yuanbao complaining about her older brothers, but now it seems that this is also a sign of a good relationship between the siblings.

What good is it if my eldest and second eldest brothers dote on me?

Perhaps it was Chen Yuze and the others' words that gave Yuanbao a sense of security.

Sure enough, in just a short while, the girl reverted to her previous playful self:

"If you ask me, the one who loves me the most is still Yuze giegie~"

Don't give me that.

Looking at Yuanbao, who was no different from usual, Chen Yuze breathed a sigh of relief, but also thought of Yuanbao's family.

All the girls in this house are pitiful little orphans. It's rare that Yuanbao still has anyone at home.

Chen Yuze naturally needed to find an opportunity to get to know them better.

"It seems I should pick a good day, bring some good wine and meat, and visit your two older brothers."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing that Chen Yuze was going to Lion Camel Ridge, Yuanbao couldn't sit still any longer.

"Brother Yuze, are you... are you really going to see my eldest and second brothers?"

"I've already lured their little sister away, of course I have to go see her!" Chen Yuze said matter-of-factly, patting Yuanbao's pigtails.

"Besides, your two older brothers know you're staying with me, but they haven't come to ask you to come back. Doesn't that mean they've tacitly approved of you staying here? As the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated. If I don't go and see them, then it would really be unreasonable."

"But, but..."

fidgeted with his fingers, Yuanbao avoided Chen Yuze's gaze while explaining in a low voice:

"They're not even ready to bring Yuze home to meet their parents yet, and you're already thinking about proposing marriage? Isn't this moving a bit too fast?"

"Hey little brat, clean up the smell!"

Before Chen Yuze could speak, Chi Lian burst out laughing.

"Master only went to see your two brothers, and you think he went to propose marriage? Master even visited my cave dwelling before, does that mean you should think he and I have already consummated our marriage? You always wear those pigtails and flaunt them in front of Master, do you really think he'll one day use those two lousy whips of yours as horse reins? You even fantasize that Master will come to propose marriage? My opinion is—get lost!"

134. She never gives anyone special treatment.
