Chapter 695 Mechanical Interstellar (14)
“I don’t want a child to distract you, and pregnancy and childbirth are really tiring. I can’t bear to do that,” Xie Yuchen said earnestly.
"Alright then, actually I don't really want to have a baby either. I always feel that it wouldn't be good if I did. Since you two have agreed, then I'm not worried anymore," Wangyou said with a smile.
Wangyou always felt that she couldn't have children. If she had a child now, it would cause irreversible damage to her and might even delay something important.
Although I don't know what major event it is.
……
Gradually, the interstellar world became better and better, and the technology developed even more rapidly. What used to be a vast expanse of technology is still there now, but with a touch of classical charm.
Natural plants are gradually becoming less of a rarity, and as land productivity recovers, patches of green begin to appear on the surfaces of various planets.
In addition, the ocean has also undergone tremendous changes. The water quality has gradually returned to normal. After a hundred years, people no longer need to test whether seafood products contain toxins.
At this time, interstellar technology had entered another dimension, but because human superpowers were preserved, the abilities of plants and animals were also preserved to some extent.
This may be a kind of balance, a kind of fairness, and a kind of ecological cycle.
When Wangyou was eighty years old, he took over as clan leader. Then, the clan members changed from hoping that the young master would have an heir to hoping that the clan leader would have an heir.
Wangyou had been urging Xie Junnian and the others to get married for a long time. She was also looking forward to a suitable successor. Since both sides were looking forward to it, and given their long lifespans, Wangyou didn't believe she wouldn't be able to find a suitable successor.
Coincidentally, the other tribespeople thought the same thing.
……
"Why are you awake so early?"
"I had a dream."
"Nightmare?"
"No, I have a solution. Perhaps the next clan leader will be born."
"Then sleep a little longer."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to do some divination and maybe even get a blessing so I can retire sooner," Wangyou said cheerfully.
Zhang Qilin couldn't resist kissing her; how could she be so adorable?
After breakfast, Wangyou called Xie Junnian and the others, along with their wives, to come over.
"Chieftain."
"Get up!"
Wangyou circled around the six pregnant women, then closed her eyes and softly murmured something. Soon, everyone saw the silver dragon pendant around Wangyou's neck glowing, and this light enveloped Wangyou and the six pregnant women.
Fifteen minutes later, the light faded, and the blessing was complete.
"Chieftain, what's going on?"
"A blessing will be bestowed upon you, and perhaps a member of the Xie family with the Dragon Token will be born among you."
"Really, Chieftain?"
"Not necessarily, everyone's aptitude is different, but I hope to have it. I really don't want to be the clan leader anymore."
"Um, clan leader, we'll head back now, so we won't bother you any longer." Xie Junnian and the others pretended not to hear Wangyou's words and made their way off with practiced ease.
"Linlin, they're not fun at all." Wangyou hugged Zhang Qilin and acted coquettishly, hanging directly on him.
Zhang Qilin skillfully hung the person up and even changed to a more comfortable position. "Don't you listen to what you're saying? You've only been the clan leader for less than forty years. The old clan leader was the clan leader for three hundred years."
"So what? Can't I retire early? There are more and more things to do in the clan now, but fortunately, most of the clan members are now monogamous, otherwise there would be a lot more trouble."
Did the blessing just now harm you?
"No, don't worry. I hope the six of them will live up to my expectations. Whether I can retire early depends on them." Wangyou still hadn't given up on the idea of retiring early.
Zhang Qilin rubbed her head helplessly, then led his men to handle matters in the study.
When Xie Yuchen returned from his work, he saw this scene: Zhang Qilin was dealing with something, while Wangyou was fast asleep in Zhang Qilin's arms.
Xie Yuchen smiled and accepted Wangyou's hand. He hadn't seen her for many days and missed his wife very much, feeling a bit jealous.
Time flies, and before they knew it, Xie Junnian and his family had several children.
Surprisingly, three of the six children had the Dragon card, and the remaining three had the Flood Dragon card. The three Dragon cards were a girl with the Azure Dragon card, a girl with the Pink Dragon card, and a boy with the Blue Dragon card.
Whether others were happy or not, Wangyou was absolutely ecstatic. She had thought one would be good enough, but now there were three at once, which was incredibly exciting.
As for who will be the next clan leader, let them choose for themselves. In Wangyou's opinion, the position of clan leader is really not a coveted one.
However, Wangyou did not keep the children by her side to raise them, just as the old clan chief raised her. After all, she herself needed to be taken care of, so who would be willing to take care of a few children who could only cry?
So, several parents spent several days mentally preparing themselves, ready to forget their worries and take their children away, only to find that the other family had no such intention at all.
While some parents were happy, others were also somewhat disappointed.
At the first birthday banquet, Wangyou asked them to bring the child over, pricked their fingers, and dripped blood onto the wooden plaque.
"Alright, take them back. After they turn three, they can decide their own future direction. Just don't interfere then."
"Yes, clan chief."
After everyone left, Wangyou initiated a grand blessing ceremony centered around their Xie family ancestral hall. Everyone in the Xie family benefited from this blessing, and what kind of children they would have in the future depended on their fate.
Later, many more children from the Xie family appeared with dragon pendants, and the Xie family once again ushered in their glorious era.
Another century has passed, and the interstellar world has been completely revitalized. The interstellar territory has expanded once again, and it has even connected with neighboring star systems, establishing friendly communication channels. Wangyou has also stepped down from the position of clan leader.
At the age of five hundred, Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin reached the end of their lives, and Wangyou also had no intention of continuing to live. When the steward found them the next day, the three of them had already stopped breathing. Then, a burst of starlight flashed, and the three bodies disappeared.
Although the bodies were no longer there, the Xie family still held a grand funeral for the three of them.
……
The three returned to their natal space of forgetfulness, looked at each other and smiled, becoming even closer.
Then, turning around, Wangyou saw an incredible figure.
"Brother, what brings you here? Have you fully recovered your original power?"
"No, I just wanted to come see you and, by the way, see who you've found," Pangu said with a light cough.
"You're not feeling well, why are you running around like that? Can't you look at me anytime?" Wangyou said irritably, then quickly went over to check Pangu's body.
Then, it glared fiercely at Pangu, and the original hydraulic pressure had not recovered much.
Pangu guiltily turned his gaze away and looked at Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin.
