Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 672 - 79: Giving Birth to Many Children for the Rise of the Wang Family (Request for Monthly Tickets) _4

Bizarrely, their habitats are often located deep in caves, making their extermination extremely difficult. Moreover, if extermination is not thorough, it is highly likely to pose a danger to the people who migrate later.

Ping’an Town once had a group of Blood Bats, which troubled the Wang family for several decades.

During that time, Ping’an Town suffered many human and livestock losses every year. It was only after old ancestor Zhou Xuan expended a great deal of manpower and resources that the Blood Bats were gradually exterminated.

This matter is detailed in the "Wang’s Ancestral Inheritance Chronicles". Wang Shouzhe, who is well versed in the Chronicles, naturally has a deep impression of it.

After some thought, he said, "Since there is a group of Blood Bats, they must be cleared first. Coincidentally, the Autumn-Winter Hunt begins in two to three months. I’ll team up with Old Ancestor Longyan and we will thoroughly clean up some dangerous sites, including the Blood Bats’."

A look of delight came over Wang Zongchang’s face: "With Fourth Uncle and old ancestor in charge, those Blood Bats are as good as dead."

"We cannot be careless. I will also write a letter asking Luo Jing to come back and help if she can. Luo Jing is skilled in controlling spiritual insects, she may know some secret technique to exterminate the Blood Bats." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly.

"Adding on Fifth Aunt, that would be very safe." Wang Zongchang nodded, "Some dangerous places are better explored by spiritual insects."

The uncle and nephew were discussing the family’s affairs.

Suddenly!

A hawk’s cry echoed across the sky.

A small-winged, yet extremely agile hawk passed over the yard, then swiftly descended.

Wang Zongchang laughed, "This must be Zongcai’s monkey approaching. This Level One Spirit Hawk was a gift from his uncle. He cherishes it incredibly and never lets it out of his sight. His Spirit Hawk has earned many Merit Points during this exploration beyond the domain, he’s probably come to see Fourth Uncle to claim the rewards."

Just as expected.

From outside the yard of Wang Shouzhe, the voice of Wang Zongcai could be heard: "Fourth Uncle, Zongcai seeks an audience."

Wang Shouzhe smiled, "Come in, stop dawdling at my door."

No sooner had the words fell than a tall and handsome teenager breezed into the courtyard.

He was dressed in a sturdy Profound Martial outfit, with a sword at his waist and a hawk on his shoulder. He was indeed a spirited and valorous young man.

He is the son of Wang Shounuo, the third of the "Shou" generation. Only sixteen years old, the conditions of the Wang family started improving since he was born, so he has not suffered much.

His path to growth was greased by access to ample resources.

Thanks to the solid foundation laid since his childhood, his spirit was very full and his cultivation base had reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement. This put him half a chip above Wang Shouzhe at the same age.

Upon entering, seeing Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zongchang, Wang Zongcai hurriedly bowed and laughed: "Zongcai greets Fourth Uncle and Second Brother. It seems Second Brother has arrived earlier than me. Despite being freshly married to Second Sister-in-law, you don’t spend much time with her."

"Old Six, stop being disrespectful to me!" Wang Zongchang scolded with a smile, "Why are you here first thing in the morning clamoring for recognition, are you afraid I will embezzle your contributions outside the domain?"

"Absolutely not!" Wang Zongcai replied with a cheeky smile, "My small merit points are earned with Ling’er’s help, it is nowhere near Second Brother’s. With Second Brother’s stature, you wouldn’t be interested in this anyway."

When it came to "Ling’er", he affectionately stroked his Level One Spirit Hawk, his eyes filled with the warmth of seeing a lover.

"Stop wasting breath, sit down and talk while drinking tea." Wang Shouzhe scolded with a smile, "Looking at the joy on your face, I assume you have gained quite a lot from this exploration beyond the domain. While I am idle, I might as well listen to you brag. If you do well, there is a reward, if not, I will deduct your family contribution."

Wang Zongcai’s face crumbled. After half sitting down, he said: "Fourth Uncle, I’m not bragging."

Then, he began to "boast" incessantly.

He praised his "Ling’er" to the heavens, claiming that it was omnipotent. Knowledgeable ones knew that it was only a common Level One Spirit Hawk. Those who didn’t know might think it was the reincarnation of a godly hawk.

"So, your purpose is…" Wang Shouzhe interrupted him after listening to his bombast for the time it took to burn a stick of incense. He just couldn’t take it anymore.

"Fourth Uncle, I’ve accrued quite a lot of Merit Points this time, which can be exchanged for a lot of resources." Wang Zongcai pleaded, "But I have to cultivate myself, and also nurture Ling’er. Life is really tough these days. When will I be able to nurture Ling’er to Level Three?"

Before Wang Shouzhe could answer,

Liu Ruolan happened to bring over some fresh fruits. Having heard his words, she said with a laugh, "Sounds like nurturing a Spirit Hawk is quite difficult for Zongcai."

"Fourth Aunt." Wang Zongcai quickly stood to pay his respects.

He knew his Fourth Uncle was approachable, but the most powerful in the family was probably his Fourth Aunt. The saying goes ’Better to offend Fourth Uncle ten times than Fourth Aunt once.’.

On the other hand, Fourth Aunt often looks after the younger generation with no effort spared, often distributing rewards and subsidies.

Wang Zongcai himself had also received numerous subsidies from Fourth Aunt.

"Don’t be formal, sit, sit, sit, I’ll give you a suggestion." Liu Ruolan graciously entertained him while laughing, "Our Zongcai is handsome and heroic. I’ve heard that there are many girls in different families who have their eyes on you. So, why don’t you find a girl, get married early, and receive the family’s marriage reward?"

"Then you can have several children. Wouldn’t your family contribution skyrocket in one fell swoop?"

Wang Zongcai broke into a cold sweat. ’Thank you for your suggestion, Fourth Aunt,’ he thought. He shook his head vigorously, "No, no. I’m still young, only sixteen. I have ’Ling’er’. I don’t want to be like Second Brother and Fourth Uncle, stepping into the grave of marriage so early…"

Before he could finish his sentence,

An icy gaze landed on him.

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zongchang looked at each other, then at Wang Zongcai with respect.

This kid’s guts were truly big - a true young hero. Young and fearless.

Wang Zongcai felt a chill down his spine, as if he had plunged into an ice pit.

"Hehe~" Liu Ruolan withdrew her gaze and began to laugh delicately, "My dear, I’ve realized that our family education on family inheritance duties for our children is somewhat lacking."

"What do you suggest, wife?" Wang Shouzhe asked.

"It’s not just what I think." Liu Ruolan said seriously, "The ancestry of the family lies in the unbroken line of descendants. Populating the clan is the glorious duty of every family member. I suggest that we regularly hold social events for the young people of the family...

Furthermore, for young men like Zongcai who’d rather raise a bird than marry, it’s not enough to just stimulate their breeding effectiveness with rewards, we must duly punish them!"

"Fourth Aunt, I was wrong." Wang Zongcai was almost in tears. He looked at Wang Shouzhe and said, "Fourth Uncle, you can’t be too soft."

Soft?

Wang Shouzhe’s expression became serious, "Zongcai, continuing the family line is the duty of everyone in the clan. If neither you nor I have children, how will the family thrive? As for the social events, we’ll leave that to your aunt."

"My dear, I’ll take care of it." Liu Ruolan said.

"It’s over, it’s over." Wang Zongcai looked to be on the verge of tears. I just came to ask for some resources to promote my "Ling’er". How could I have ended up in this predicament in the blink of an eye?
