I have the best bloodline

"I was wondering why I couldn't see any children. Turns out there are programs here that are not suitable for children, and kids shouldn't watch them."

Su Yan was no stranger to slaughter. Yesterday, he witnessed thousands of cavalrymen being massacred by the Red Jade Hairpin Sword. Further away, the number of casualties on the battlefield was in the tens of thousands. However, those were mostly quick and decisive kills, unlike now, where several large fat pigs were tied up by their hind legs, hung up, and had their throats slit, then slowly bled to death.

Su Yan felt a strange chill run down her spine as she listened to the shrill screams.

"Brother Su, why are you standing there motionless?"

Zhou You, who had already drunk two jin of liquor early in the morning, saw Su Yan stop what he was doing, let out a burp, and asked him something that seemed a little strange.

"It's nothing serious, I was just thinking about some things related to animal husbandry."

Su Yan shook his head and sighed, "Before we knew it, it was time for the livestock to suffer again."

"Ok?"

Zhou You made a nasal sound, looking at Su Yan with a completely bewildered expression.

Looking at the pigs hanging upside down, Su Yan could clearly see their bellies and bells. Unlike foxes, pigs' tails are not used to cover their vital parts.

Su Yan could clearly observe that the pigs being slaughtered had all been castrated, or rather, that all the livestock except for the males needed to be castrated by a castrator in order to receive the benefits of free food and lodging.

Castration reduces male aggression, makes them easier to manage, and improves meat quality, eliminating the gamey or fishy smell that is often unpalatable to most people.

"Brother Zhou, do you think that if Shan Huan were castrated, his foul language would turn into gentle words?"

Su Yan offered a suggestion, and Zhou You, still tipsy, replied without hesitation, "I understand. After the spring outing, let's go find Brother Wen together. Actually, I've wanted to castrate his pet Shan Huan for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to do it yet."

"As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, let's give it a try!"

"Brother Zhou's suggestion is brilliant," Su Yan retorted.

.....................

As the sun rose, the flower people who had previously fled to the Red King's territory or other places in the mountains and forests gradually returned to Flower City. They changed into their corresponding festival clothes to participate in the Spring Festival worship in response to the sound of the drumbeats.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have a female companion?"

Since Su Yan and Zhou You weren't interested in browsing the jewelry and clothing stalls, they chose to sit down and drink tea at a hastily opened teahouse near the altar.

Su Yan went out very casually this time and did not bring any protected animals from the Crimson King's Territory.

After the fox's protection was gone, and after Princess Luanming, Feng Shiqi, and Qingya gradually left, Zhou You and Su Yan, who were sitting properly in the teahouse, were followed.

The girls found Su Yan more and more adorable. Finally, one of them couldn't resist any longer and ran up to Su Yan to ask if he had a female companion. If not, she suggested he consider her.

The girl with long black hair had a very distinctive outfit: a sleeveless, unbuttoned white jacket that was wide open, revealing only a bra-like garment underneath. Her loose-fitting long trousers and bare feet with shoes on further misled the eye.

Su Yan glanced to the side and saw the feeding device that the girl had almost hit on his cheek. He immediately turned his head away with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Su Yan is not yet of legal age to tie his hair up."

"Don't worry, my family is in the business of traveling merchants, we would never lie to our families and ask them to come home to do farm work."

Seeing that Su Yan refused, the girl with long black hair spoke again about her family background, trying to lure the young man sitting in the teahouse to her home for a wedding ceremony:

"Not to mention great wealth and status, at least there will be six maids to take care of the young master's daily life."

Su Yan shook his head again, refusing the girl in front of him.

Disappointment immediately appeared on the girl's face. Without saying anything, she turned and left, returning to the crowd to playfully wrestle with the other girls who had come for the blind date.

Besides the worship of living beings, the Spring Festival is most lively for its activities of singing and expressing emotions.

When men and women meet someone they like, they will first communicate privately. If they hit it off, they will participate in a song-and-dance event to express their feelings and show their affection in public.

I'm not saying you should actually chase after the flower girls like a rutting dog.

"If she can't make it, she can come and see me."

Although the black-haired girl had just left, because she had set a precedent, the other flower girls no longer cared about being shy or having any concerns. If they were a step too slow, such a beautiful and promising match might slip away from them.

A tall, slender girl with long hair styled in a bun and a confident expression approached Su Yan. She raised her hand and patted the chest of her white jacket, saying:

"We flower growers don't exaggerate. Someone like me could easily vomit three or four!"

Flower shoppers are very honest when it comes to matchmaking. The girls will change into white, open-chested, sleeveless jackets to ensure that their future husbands won't be deceived because of the clothing.

Similar to the traditional Chinese jacket, long trousers also make it very easy to see the length of the legs.

Men with floral motifs also have special costumes, which they wear to show off their physiques during the Spring Festival.

In situations where neither party knows the other, blind dates that don't consider appearance are simply dishonest.

"I don't go on blind dates. I just like young men. If you like my figure, let me see yours too."

As the girl with her hair tied up spoke, she gestured for Su Yan to share some valuable information with her.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Feng Shiqi pushed through the crowd, her figure directly blocking Su Yan and the girl with her hair tied up. Their chests collided, but Feng Shiqi maintained a polite smile, straightened her back, and forced the bold girl with the floral hairstyle to take a step back, saying:

"It seems you're not as amazing as you say."

"tsk"

The bold, hair-tied girl took a step back, glanced at her companion who had suddenly appeared, clicked her tongue in displeasure, clutched her chest, looked at Zhou You, then glanced at Feng Shiqi, observing her expression. Seeing that Feng Shiqi had only been protecting Su Yan the whole time, she walked towards Zhou You and said:

"The competition over there is too fierce. Are you free? If you are, let's find a guest room to talk."

"what?"

Zhou You, who was drinking and enjoying himself, was taken aback by the girl's sudden question.

"Uh, sorry, I..."

"Is he your man?"

No, it was me.

"Is he your man?"

"go!"

After being rebuffed several times, Zhou You really didn't know how to respond, and after a long pause, she managed to utter the word "leave".

"Young Master Su, you'd better be careful."

Watching the girl dragging Zhou You away, Feng Shiqi looked at Su Yi with a meaningful expression and said:

"In the land of Xia Yu, men, women, and demons all face the same danger of violent mate selection."

Chapter 191 Reconstruction of Flower City

Would you like some osmanthus honey wine?

Seeing that Feng Shiqi's fame had driven away his romantic luck, Su Yan smiled broadly, picked up a pot of warm osmanthus wine from the warm water, and gestured to the waiter to go next door to buy some honey.

"And really, there's no need to call me 'Young Master,' just call me Su Yan. We're all friends, so let's not be so formal."

Feng Shiqi can be considered Xia Yu's old friend. They have known each other for almost half a year. Su Yan has told her many times not to act like a "young master" all the time. He is not a member of the royal family or any noble family, so there is really no need to be so formal every time.

But Feng Shiqi just likes to call herself that, perhaps there's a girlish sentimentality in it?

"Master Su, alright, alright, Su Yan."

Feng Shiqi was about to speak when Su Yan glared at her, forcing her to change her mind. She sat down imposingly on a teahouse bench, surveyed the surrounding women with a fierce look that deterred any women with ill intentions, and then spoke:

"Aren't you going to check it out across the street? They're selling floral-themed clothing there, and even a rough guy like me couldn't resist buying a set to collect."

"I went there, but I was forced to leave with my butt being pinched."

Su Yan said with a strange expression, "There are too many people; the fox's butt can't handle such a big scene."

The Spring Festival has a matchmaking aspect, and the men and women who gather here are all looking to get married. Naturally, they use all sorts of little tricks that they can't do in ordinary times on the stage of the Spring Festival.

"what?"

Feng Shiqi stared at Su Yan in disbelief, then turned to look down at Su Yan's robes and discovered that his originally white clothes were indeed stained with a lot of rouge and powder, and there was also the color of finger dye near his waist.

"Is it really that outrageous?"

.....................

The Spring Festival activities continued as usual and were not affected by Su Yan and her group.

The three local deities of the Flower Region appeared as scheduled at noon during the Spring Festival. This time, the Crimson King, who had never attended the Spring Festival before, was also there. He announced with a smile that he would fund the reconstruction of the Flower People's homes, and that the government office would be conducting free medical clinics for a period of time.

Then came the laws of the Flower Region, which were formally and fully aligned with the laws of Yu the Great.

However, on this basis, some of the laws of the Red King's Palace and the Flower Region still need to be observed.

In addition, the Crimson King will allocate 30 million spirit stones to build official roads and private schools. In the future, all the children of the Flower People will be able to go to private schools to learn to read and write, as well as learn some basic breathing techniques.

The news that benefited the district and its people came out of the Red King's mouth, leaving the flower-loving people gathered at the Spring Festival astonished. For a moment, they didn't know if the Red King had taken the wrong elixir or if there was something wrong with their ears.

Is this still the same tyrannical Red King?

Such a beneficial policy for the region and its people... Could it be that the Crimson King has recently grown tired of eating spirit beast meat and is planning to fatten up the people of the Flower Region so they can eat three to five beasts at a time?

The people were shocked, but the Red King and the three Earth Immortals did not explain why.

The power struggle between the Flower District and the Crimson King's Palace came to an end when the Flower Clan relinquished some power and all tax revenue, and voluntarily dispatched clan soldiers to support the Crimson King's fiefdom unconditionally when it faced a crisis.

With the entire flower region under the control of the Red King, he naturally had to stop his harsh exploitation and promulgate regulations that were completely detrimental to the agricultural development of the flower-growing people.

The greater the output of the flower region, the more money the Red King would make without those clans acting as middlemen. Naturally, there was no need for him to resort to any underhanded means. The Red King even contacted the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion to purchase a large quantity of high-quality seeds, preparing to distribute them free of charge to the people of the flower region this year.

"So, in other words, my status as a Class-A protected animal in the Crimson King's Territory has been downgraded to a Class-A protected animal?"

The Red King spoke for a long time on the sacrificial altar. Su Yan didn't understand anything else, but the only thing he could understand was that the little fox in the Flower Region had been downgraded from a Class A protected animal to a Class B protected animal.

In the past, if a fox died in someone's house, the consequences ranged from confiscation of the property to the destruction of the family genealogy.

Now, if a fox dies in someone's home, the penalty is either a fine or, at worst, a fine plus a short period of imprisonment.

A slight look of frustration appeared on Su Yan's face. Although he couldn't use the Red King's Fox Privilege, there was a fundamental difference between whether he could use it and whether he had it at all.

"Huh? Where did Zhou You go?"

After Princess Luanming and Qingya finished browsing the rouge stalls and found the teahouse where Su Yan was, they saw Su Yan, in his fox form, lying on Feng Shiqi's lap stretching. They hadn't seen Zhou Youren at all, so they asked Zhou Youren and Feng Shiqi, looking completely bewildered.
