Because I am their eldest brother.
I was born to bear the responsibility of caring for them on behalf of my father!
To prevent them from killing each other over the future position of Dragon Lord, I, as the eldest brother, must firmly hold onto the title of heir.
Only in this way—
Will Cassi and the others stop their infighting, unite as one, deal with me first, and then consider who will be the Dragon Lord.
The above.
Is the sole reason Li Qianfan must be the Dragon Lord!!
"Don't worry, my wife."
Li Qianfan added, "I believe I have the ability to make my younger siblings a loving family. I will make them understand sooner or later that we are all grandchildren of Yang Xiao, and sons of Li Xiao! All our intelligence, various schemes, etc., can only be used against external enemies!"
"Okay, I believe you."
Su Ziyu pursed her lips, "Qianfan, I am proud to be able to marry you."
Brother.
I am also proud to have you.
Shen Chongchong looked at Li Qianfan, her eyes full of tenderness, and her graceful figure slowly became alluring again.
Beep.
The call ended.
Those who should be spanked continue to be spanked.
Those who are about to beg for Katerina—
Su Ziyu walked up to Yang Xiao, curtsied, and knelt gracefully on the ground.
Mo Hongti, who was by her side, knelt much more directly.
With a clang, her knees hit the ground heavily, making one's heart ache just hearing it.
Su Ziyu said softly, "Grandmother, please be merciful and spare Aunt Katerina."
Hundreds of people in the hall watched Yang Xiao in silence.
Yang Xiao, however, looked down at Su Ziyu, not moving for a long time.
"Grandmother."
Su Ziyu waited patiently for a long time before speaking again, "I firmly believe that Aunt Katerina and others will sincerely bless Qianfan and me to grow old together in the future."
Katerina nodded vigorously in panic.
Ye Wushuang and others bowed their heads in silence.
Ding Xiaolang suddenly knelt.
She placed her right hand on her chest, "Mom! Please forgive Katerina this time."
Whoosh.
Bai Hong, Julie, Shangguan Rourou, and others knelt one after another, "Mom, please forgive Katerina this time!"
Whoosh—
Ye Wushuang, Qin Yujie, Yu Minmin, Jing Ran, and others also slowly knelt, "Mom, please forgive Katerina this time!!"
"Empress Dowager."
Gray Ghost, Xue Zhantian, Li Xiusi, and others also knelt on one knee, placing their right hands on their chests, "Please forgive Katerina this time!"
Among the many people in the hall, besides Yang Xiao, only those more than a dozen Blood Kill members remained standing.
As for the Duke of Li Gong of the Dragon Ruins, he had already walked away with his hands behind his back, strolling casually, while Su Ziyu knelt in the dust on Katerina's behalf.
"Get up."
Yang Xiao said, raising her hand to wave lightly.
Those dozen or so Blood Kill members immediately withdrew from the hall quickly.
Katerina immediately understood that she had been forgiven.
She immediately prostrated herself, trembling all over, and thanked them in a low sob.
"I won't say any superfluous words."
Yang Xiao's gaze swept across the faces of Ye Wushuang and the others. As she turned towards the door, she said indifferently, "I only hope that in the future, you will think more about what Qianfan just said. I also support your healthy competition. But you must remember!"
She paused at the door, but did not turn her head, "Your children and Qianfan share the same blood!"
"Yes!"
Many women in the hall replied in unison, "We will definitely remember that Qianfan and the others share the same blood!"
Yang Xiao left.
The hall fell silent again.
Hoo!
Yang Ziye raised his head and got up, "Come, come, come! That was just a small interlude. Sister-in-law, I'll continue introducing you. Eunuch Factory (Li Xiusi), he's talking about you. Hurry over."
Ziye's role became apparent.
The hundreds of people kneeling on the ground all got up one after another.
Katerina wiped her eyes and quickly walked up to Su Ziyu, bowing deeply.
Cassie, however, knelt on one knee to Ziyu, bowing his head and placing his hand on his chest, "Big Sister-in-law, I, on behalf of my mother, thank you and Big Brother again."
"Get up, get up, what's all this about?"
Su Ziyu hurriedly bent down and helped Cassie up from the ground.
Ye Wushuang, Qin Yujie, and others exchanged glances seemingly casually, and then sighed softly in secret.
They knew—
Su Ziyu had firmly secured her position as the future Dragon Lord's wife of the Dragon Ruins!!
Night fell.
The stars twinkled.
This is the Eastern Land!
Old Man Su called his beloved son-in-law, asking if he wanted to come home for the night.
Mother Empress Lan had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for her beloved son-in-law, waiting for him to return.
As dusk settled, Li Qianfan, who had been cuddling with Shen Chongchong in the new dormitory, felt the truest family warmth upon receiving Old Su's call.
However—
Li Qianfan's answer made Old Su very sad, "You're not trying to trick me out of my pocket money while Ziyu is away."
"Beloved son-in-law, you really see me through a crack in the door."
Old Su said resentfully, then lowered his voice, "I'm out of medicine, you need to make me some more."
Li Qianfan asked, "What medicine?"
Glancing towards the bathroom, Old Su said, "What do you think? Of course, it's the 'Half an Hour Tonight'."
"Half an Hour Tonight."
This was a health-strengthening medicine that Li Qianfan had specially concocted for Old Su, who originally only lasted three minutes, for that night.
After a full half-hour argument between father-in-law and son-in-law, the medicine was named "Half an Hour Tonight."
It was descriptive.
And elegant—
"I knew you wouldn't call me tonight just to care about me."
Li Qianfan said with contempt, "Alright, don't worry. I'll make you the medicine tomorrow. Use it with confidence, there will be no side effects. But you have to pay."
For the next three to four minutes.
After repeated haggling over the price, father-in-law and son-in-law finally reached a balance that both could barely accept.
"Alas, my private funds for the next month are gone."
Old Su ended the call, filled with heartache, and as he pondered where to find a new source of income, the bathroom door opened.
Mother Empress Lan came out in her slippers, drying her long hair, and said with emotion, "Old Su, tonight, we can have our time alone again."
"Yes, yes!"
Old Su's eyes immediately lit up, "After more than 20 years, we can finally have a time when there's no third person in the house."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Mother Empress Lan's cheeks flushed as she walked towards the master bedroom door.
But Old Su, walking quickly, embraced her from behind.
Purely out of instinct—
After the sudden surprise attack, Mother Empress Lan let out a soft cry and gave Old Su a major suplex.
With a swish, Old Su flew more than three meters in the air and landed heavily on the sofa.
"Ouch, my old back!"
Old Su immediately wailed, then reached under his waist and pulled out two items.
They were a pair of high heels.
These were a birthday gift that Old Su had been saving up from his meager private funds on his way home from work, thinking that his wife's birthday was in a few days.
Not expensive.
But Mother Empress Lan liked them very much.
Before bathing, she had tried them on and placed them on the sofa.
Who would have thought they would almost break Old Su's old back?
Mother Empress Lan then realized what had happened and quickly sat beside him, asking if he was alright.
"It's like hearing a sailor say, 'What's this little pain in the wind and rain?'"
Old Su, however, sang loudly, got up energetically, lifted his wife's feet, and put on the black high heels for her.
Mother Empress Lan was confused, "What are you acting crazy for? I'm not even wearing clothes. What's the point of just wearing shoes?"
"This is romantic."
Old Su, drooling, looked at his wife affectionately and whispered in her ear, "In the living room."
You old rascal!
Mother Empress Lan finally understood what was going on and blushed deeply.
But she couldn't resist Old Su's pestering, so she could only go along with him reluctantly.
Having time alone is truly wonderful—
Shen Chongchong also felt this deeply.
Su Ziyu and Mo Hongti went to the Dragon Ruins.
Dai Paipai left Qingyun for some reason.
Li Qianfan didn't want to go home, nor did he want to go to Victoria, so he made Shen Chongchong's dormitory his home.
Shen Chongchong, full of happiness, accompanied him for drinks and conversations.
The key was that she would agree to his rather absurd requests.
Young people, you see.
They love to play games that children simply don't understand.
It was precisely with her companionship that Li Qianfan was able to quickly recover from the sadness of Dai Paipai's departure from Qingyun.
According to Li Qianfan's speculation, Dai Paipai had already been taken away by the dark web.
He hoped that when he saw Dai Paipai again, she would still maintain her kind heart.
Even in Li Qianfan's subconscious—
He would rather Dai Paipai become an evil frog-person than turn to dust in just a few months.
Otherwise, he would have already sent Dai Paipai to the Flaming Valley to await her death.
Li Qianfan only wished that those he cared about, and everyone who cared about him, would live well!
It was precisely because he truly felt his inner thoughts.
Shen Chongchong cast aside all her reserve and desperately pulled him into the gentle haven.
A woman's tenderness is the most potent weapon to dissolve grief.
However—
When the green Chongchong, exhausted, fell asleep, Dai Paipai's image stubbornly floated in Li Qianfan's mind.
He covered Chongchong with the quilt, casually put on one of Chongchong's windbreakers, and quietly walked out of the dormitory.
He leaned on the railing of the corridor, looked up at the starry sky, and remained motionless for a long time.
The wind blew.
It lifted the hem of the windbreaker.
The wind was cold, but Li Qianfan couldn't feel it.
As the 209 became more active, the temperature's effect on Li Qianfan would become smaller and smaller.
He suddenly took out his phone.
He decided to tell his online friends about Dai Paipai.
"Hey friends, are you there?"
Li Qianfan sent a message.
Ding!
Su Nanyin, who was applying ice to her foot, picked up her phone.

Five chapters today. My condition isn't great. I don't have a sore throat or a fever, but I just lack energy, which is strange.
