Lanhuadis 18
The battle ended with both sides bruised and battered.
After the fight, the two brothers showed amazing tacit understanding. They ignored each other and kept silent, as if they would feel so disgusted if they looked at each other for even one more moment that they couldn't eat.
Wendoline didn't care whether they could eat it or not.
The Herberts were an ancient family with a long and storied history. It was said that the Herberts existed before the Lanhuadis race. It was only later that they developed into a large family.
Lanhuadis has a long history. If future generations want to know, they can go to the clan land where their ancestors are buried to learn more.
Since it is an ancient family, there are naturally many things passed down.
Since my father, the king, and my mother, the queen, were no longer around, the two most honorable seats in the front of the dining table were naturally left empty. No one was allowed to sit there, and they had to be cleaned every day.
The rest of the brothers and sisters in the family sat opposite each other in the order of their birth.
No matter what the conflict is, go out and resolve it. As long as you sit at the same table to eat, you must keep a smile on your face.
Wen Duolin made the two of them fight outside the house, which meant that once they entered the house, no matter what conflicts they had, they were not allowed to show them.
This is the rule that existed when my parents were alive.
She led her brothers and sisters to sit on both sides of the dining table.
Xiaoqi was still young, so she put him on the table and let him play under her nose.
Butler Nimansen received the news in advance that everyone in the family except the Sixth Prince would be back today.
He seemed more well-behaved than usual, serving meals on time. Everyone had different preferences, and the food was different.
Ning Ren had just eaten his fourth brother's heart blood and was not hungry yet, so Nimansen just prepared a little bit of eggshell powder for him and put it in a small spoon, letting the cub hold it and lick it for fun.
Breakfast (and dinner) took place in such a strange and silent atmosphere.
Wendoline ate in silence, while Dorothea glanced furtively at her brothers.
Carlos and Xilting completely lost the aura of the military commander and the boss of Kongchan outside, and tried hard to control their facial expressions so that they would not appear to be grinning so much while eating.
The servants on both sides lowered their heads deeply, afraid that they would laugh out loud.
The cub licking the spoon intuitively felt his sister's position in the family, and squatted obediently in front of his sister's plate. He was very well-behaved, with his ears erect, listening to the movements around him.
Wendolyn's eyes remained on the cub in front of her plate.
This was the first time she saw this little brother who had been hatched in the eggshell for six years. He was smaller than...even smaller than she had imagined.
For a moment, the only sound in the restaurant was the slight clatter of cutlery.
Wendoline's expression became increasingly serious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly strange and quiet.
Just when Dorothea, Carlos and the other two thought Wendoline was in a bad mood—
The eldest sister with black hair and golden eyes stared at the cub holding a spoon on the table, as if she was studying some important military problem, and suddenly said, "How cute."
Dorothea: "...Pfft."
Wendoline looked up a little puzzled: "Huh?"
Dorothea: "Oh, it's okay, sis. I think Xiaoqi is cute too."
The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed.
Carlos glanced at Xilting inconspicuously. The other party was eating with his head down, occasionally glancing at Xiaoqi on the table.
Ning Ren, who was praised as cute, paused while eating, then puffed out his chest happily.
Of course he is cute.
No matter which body it is, it's cute!
After the meal, the plates were cleared away and Wendoline got down to business.
"The most important reason I called you back this time is to help Xiaoqi digest the eggshell, accumulate energy, and complete the process of spreading his wings."
"It will last for twenty-one days. The remaining nine days are Xiao Qi's observation period. We will accompany him throughout." Wen Duolin glanced at the time on the pendulum clock. "If you still have unfinished work, you will be given half a day to deal with it. After half a day, Xiao Qi's wings-spreading process will officially begin."
This matter is very important, and it can be said to be the most important thing for their family at the moment.
Carlos said seriously: "I have no problem, but the military district."
Wendoline: "I will transfer half of the guards I brought with me to the Third Army. I'll ask your adjutant to take care of the rest."
Carlos: “Yeah.”
"Old Four, what about you?"
Xilting: "That's fine with me, elder sister."
Dorothea raised her hand. "The research progress isn't as important as Xiao Qi! I'm totally fine with it!"
"Okay, then you should go back to your rooms and rest for half a day to get yourself into the best condition possible."
When Wen Duolin said this, she deliberately glanced at her two brothers who had bruised faces and noses. "Also, during this period, don't cause any conflict."
Carlos: “Yeah.”
Xilting: “Heh.”
That's considered as agreeing.
So Wendoline got up and left, picking up the little kid who was biting the spoon on the table, and went back to her room.
Carlos suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up abruptly: "Sister, be careful not to let Xiaoqi touch the mechanism in your room, otherwise it will be very dangerous!"
Wen Duolin glanced at him and said, "I know there is no mechanism in my room."
Wendolyn's room was on the far left of the third floor. After she entered the room, she turned on the small light on her left, and the whole bedroom changed instantly.
system:"……"
We agreed that there would be no mechanism.
The transformed bedroom is completely different from its previous cold and dark style. The colors of the bed and carpet are warm, and the cabinets on both sides are filled with various dolls.
These dolls are her biggest secret.
Before this, only my father and mother knew about it.
A reliable and dignified elder sister cannot play with dolls anytime and anywhere.
Wenduolin inspected the dolls very seriously, and finally picked one, took the doll out of the cupboard, took off the doll's clothes, and put them on Ning Ren.
The cub covered his face in shame and anger, but still could not escape the clutches of his elder sister.
Ning Ren: “…”
He was wearing a very exquisite black dress. The doll was the same size as him and fit him perfectly. The red silk blindfold made him look like a noble little prince playing hide-and-seek at night.
Wen Duolin looked at the little guy with a rosy face and touched his head: "Before sister came, Xiao Qi didn't even have tailor-made clothes, poor little thing."
She smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. From now on, I'll take care of changing clothes."
[Hahahaha, what a pitiful little thing! It's just my sister's real-life dress-up game!]
[So cute! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that the clothes he wore before were all made from cotton balls he pulled off the bed. Hahahaha, what a poor little thing!]
[Pfft! I guess because the cubs were too young, they didn't realize they had to prepare enough clothes for them. Now, changing into ten or eight sets of clothes a day is no problem.]
[Eldest sister: I will make you my personal doll (?)]
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter, as if they had forgotten the pain of being backstabbed, and shifted their attention to the new cub.
The system silently peeked at the screen, with a plan in mind. He had already thought of a new title for this live broadcast room.
It can definitely bring back a wave of previously lost viewers.
But we have to wait for the right opportunity.
-
Half a day of adjustment time passed in a flash.
Ning Ren couldn't resist the sleepiness and slept soundly in Wen Duolin's palm.
Following Wendolyn's instructions, the three of them went to the top of the castle together. There was a large flat open space with a hexagram array drawn in the middle.
In the middle of the formation was placed an eggshell that Ning Ren had eaten half of.
Dorothea immediately noticed the baby in her sister's palm, who was properly dressed. She screamed and her eyes shone brightly.
Wendoline moved aside to avoid Dorothea's pounce, shook her head, and said, "One person, one corner, sit cross-legged."
Carlos and the other two did as they were told.
Wen Duolin placed Ning Ren in the center of the eggshell and moved to a corner of the hexagram formation.
"For the next twenty-one days, all of us will slowly channel our spiritual energy into the eggshell along the formation's pathways, slowly nourishing Xiao Qi's body."
"Grind the eggshells into powder and increase the amount daily based on Xiaoqi's appetite. Most importantly, the four of us take turns taking three drops of heart blood every day to bathe Xiaoqi. This needs to be supervised by someone to prevent him from being tempted to drink up the bath water."
Xilting looked serious.
He remembered what Dr. Jian Yang had said to him.
After Xiaoqi finishes eating the eggshells, he will enter a dangerous period that comes at irregular intervals. The eldest sister's action is obviously to improve Xiaoqi's physical fitness to the highest extent possible and maximize the chances of survival and successful spread of wings.
The hexagram array is a typical offering array.
With the full support of their adult relatives, Xiaoqi's chances of survival will be greatly increased.
Wen Duolin: "There are still two corners missing. I will donate one more corner, and the remaining corner..."
Carlos: "I'll do it."
Wen Duolin paused and said, "Your hidden injury hasn't healed yet. There's another full moon in the twenty-first day. Don't force yourself. Xierting, you come and fill in the final corner."
"……Um."
Xilting glanced at Carlos, whose expression had not changed much, and frowned slightly.
Hidden injury?
It’s been so long and it’s still not healed.
After the distribution was completed, the hexagram formation was officially activated.
Ning Ren stretched out his limbs, as if soaking in a pool of warm spring water.
He had a dream that he returned to the time when he first arrived in the City of Chaos. He was circled by his stinky father's tail and they were taking a bath in the hot spring together.
He was very happy, and his limbs were swinging around in the water randomly.
At this time, he was not very familiar with the stinky dad. The stinky dad was cold to him and his movements of wiping his face with a handkerchief were also very awkward.
Ning Ren wanted to reach out and hug his father, but he couldn't move, so he could only let his father wipe his face.
He could only open his mouth and speak: "Dad, don't worry, A Ren will be back soon. I am in Lanhuadis now. I have brothers and sisters who treat me very well."
"I didn't find Little Red Bear's brothers and sisters, nor did I see Uncle Barre. Maybe they came earlier than me, so they went back early."
"Dad, don't be anxious. After Ah Ren learns to fly and says goodbye to my eldest sister, second brother, fourth brother, and fifth sister, I'll pack my little bag and go home to find you. You just wait for Ah Ren at home and don't run around."
He suppressed his longing and sobs, and spoke the instructions word by word, fearing that Asulin would miss anything.
This was the first time he dreamed of his father since he came to Lanhuadis.
The expression of his father who was wiping his face gradually changed and began to become gentle. His father still didn't say anything, but just shook his head at him.
Ning Ren: "Dad?"
Asulin's figure slowly disappeared. Ning Ren blinked again and saw his father smiling and waving goodbye to him.
He was a little anxious and tried hard to catch up, but still couldn't catch up.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier between him and Asulin, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never cross it.
He could only stop, wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shout loudly:
"Damn dad, wait for Ren to come home!"
