The Family Head of This Generation (Girls' Love) - Chapter 5

It was already late when Zhao Ziyan finally emerged from her beautiful mother’s room. After giving her sincere and strong assurances, her beautiful mother finally let the matter go, which made Zhao Ziyan breathe a sigh of relief. Her beautiful mother’s aura was very strong, no less than Elder Yao’s. Zhao Ziyan could talk calmly and fluently when facing Elder Yao, but when facing her beautiful mother, she could only submit and be completely suppressed. Zhao Ziyan secretly speculated that it was probably a psychological effect: she lacked motherly love too much in her previous life, so she desperately wanted to hold onto it in this life.

As she was about to reach her own room, she saw Hua Yuenü waiting anxiously at her door. Although Zhao Ziyan was touched, she still couldn’t help but speak carelessly. The memory of the former owner had a profound effect on Zhao Ziyan. If she were on Earth, Zhao Ziyan would definitely not do things like aggressively crashing a venue or flirting with women.

“Beauty Hua, are you waiting for the Head of the Family to return? The Head of the Family is deeply moved.”

“Head of the Family… why aren’t you calling me Xiao… Xiao Hua?” Hua Yuenü was a bit incredulous. Zhao Ziyan had been calling her Xiao Hua in a nasty way for a whole month. Why the change of heart today?

“The Head of the Family sees that you are quite attractive, so I’m specifically promoting you to be a bed-warming maid. What’s wrong, Beauty Hua, are you unwilling?” Zhao Ziyan spoke strangely and smiled even more strangely. Seeing Hua Yuenü, who usually only knew how to agree with her, turn pale, Zhao Ziyan fully satisfied her dark humor.

She had been anxious and frightened for the entire month and hadn’t really paid attention to the appearance of the people around her. But today, after venting the fear and cowardice in her heart, she realized that the four maids her mother had assigned to her were all first-rate beauties: Hong Fu was fiery, Lü Fu was cold and indifferent, Hua Yuenü was gentle and obedient, and Mo Han was elegant and mysterious. If they were in her previous life, they would probably attract countless crazy pursuits from rich second-generation heirs. Of course, this was all on the surface. Just like Lü Fu, she was outwardly indifferent, but internally she was an easily annoyed tsundere.

“But… Head of the Family, Madam will kill me! I’d rather remain Xiao Hua!” Hua Yuenü wanted to cry but had no tears. She knew Zhao Ziyan couldn’t change her ways. Was this a change from vulgarity to flirting?

“You hooligan.”

A cold voice drifted from behind Zhao Ziyan, startling her. When she turned around, she realized it was Lü Fu, who always had the same expression. Zhao Ziyan complained with a mournful look:

“Little Cui, where did you drift out from again? Aren’t you going to guard your Little Hong? Why are you coming here to disturb the Head of the Family and Beauty Hua’s romantic time under the moonlight?”

“Head of the Family, Madam asked me to inform you that you need to attend the clan meeting with her tomorrow.” Lü Fu continued to deliver Shang Luo’s message with a blank face, then drifted away. Forgive Zhao Ziyan for using the word ‘drift’ to describe Lü Fu, simply because Lü Fu was too fast, and what the human eye saw was just a flash of white shadow passing by.

“Beauty Hua, let’s continue our previous topic. Beauty Hua, let the Head of the Family kiss you. Beauty Hua, don’t hide! The Head of the Family has been coveting Beauty Hua for a long time.” Having been poisoned by the internet on Earth for a long time, Zhao Ziyan’s flirtatious words flowed easily.

“Head of the Family, stop…”

“Haha, I’ve got you!”

Hua Yuenü’s face was flushed with embarrassment. As a maiden, where had she ever experienced such a situation? Startled, she immediately closed her eyes when caught.

“Beauty Hua, it’s too late. The Head of the Family will spare you today~” Zhao Ziyan seemed to remember something and immediately let go of the hand that was hugging Hua Yuenü’s waist, startled.

Seeing the beauty in her arms close her eyes, the beauty was like jade under the moonlight. Her tightly closed eyes, Zhao Ziyan could even see the beauty’s eyelashes gently trembling. Her red lips were slightly pursed, as if refusing, yet also seeming to invite, making Zhao Ziyan almost succumb to the temptation and kiss her directly. But then she thought, “Haha, the moon is so beautiful. The Head of the Family is absolutely not gay.”

Zhao Ziyan absolutely refused to admit that she was fleeing in disarray. She just couldn’t bear to hurt Beauty Hua. She was being kind. She absolutely didn’t fancy Hua Yuenü’s beauty and wanted to kiss her. Absolutely not.

But after fleeing, Zhao Ziyan immediately regretted it. Such a great beauty, and she let her go. What a loser, destined to be alone forever. Besides, shouldn’t her beautiful mother be the one worrying about her sexual orientation? Why was she worrying about it? Next time a beauty offers herself, she must adhere to the principle of “better to kill the wrong one than to let the right one go”…

Sleepless all night, Zhao Ziyan, with red eyes, prepared to find her beautiful mother. It was absolutely impossible not to be conflicted about her sexual orientation. A person who had been straight for over twenty years suddenly became gay without any warning. No one could ignore this. To give a simple analogy: it’s like a child who has called you “Dad” for twenty years, but a paternity test reveals that the child’s father is the next-door neighbor, Old Wang. A person with a strong psychological constitution might write up divorce papers, while a person with a weak psychological constitution might grab a knife and die with Old Wang. Similarly, being straight for over twenty years and then suddenly turning gay—a person with a strong psychological constitution will accept it calmly, while a person with a weak psychological constitution might slit their own throat and pretend to be melancholic.

“Ziyan, come in. Why do you look like this after not seeing you for one night?”

Since it was still early, Shang Luo was still lazily lying in bed. Recalling the clan meeting in the morning, Shang Luo gave up the idea of sleeping for a little longer. Then she discovered Zhao Ziyan had arrived at her courtyard. With her Martial King cultivation, no sound or movement in the Zhao mansion could escape her divine sense. Seeing Zhao Ziyan pacing back and forth in front of her door, Shang Luo finally couldn’t help but call her in. As a result, she saw the little rascal who was usually full of energy and eager to cause trouble everywhere now looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, wilted.

“Mother, you might be in trouble, and it’s big trouble.”

Zhao Ziyan swallowed hard, trying to move her gaze away from the patch of whiteness on her beautiful mother’s chest. She hadn’t expected her beautiful mother to not have gotten up yet, just lazily leaning on the mattress. The thin clothing was loosely draped over her body, completely failing to conceal the fullness of her chest. That patch of whiteness brazenly tempted Zhao Ziyan’s gaze. Her straight legs were also extended outside the quilt. Her delicate and small jade feet were like perfectly carved jade, flawless, making anyone who saw them want to grab and play with them. Seeing this enticing scene, Zhao Ziyan’s old face instantly turned crimson. She had just confirmed her sexual orientation last night, and today she encountered such a beautiful temptation. Was heaven trying to bend her into a circle so she could never be straight again?

“…”

Shang Luo glanced at Zhao Ziyan indifferently. Zhao Ziyan had probably gotten her into trouble again. Since childhood, how many messes had she cleaned up for Zhao Ziyan? She already had a profound understanding of Zhao Ziyan’s ability to cause trouble.

“Mother, I want to break off the engagement with Second Cousin. I don’t like him,” Zhao Ziyan said directly, withdrawing her wolfish gaze.

“No, the engagement was set by your father.”

Shang Luo rejected it immediately without thinking. It wasn’t the first time Zhao Ziyan had come to her to make trouble; she was used to it.

“But my father has passed away. Besides, Father never expected Second Cousin to grow up so ugly. I believe if Father were alive, he would never let me suffer by marrying Second Cousin.” Zhao Ziyan tried to persuade her beautiful mother. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to fall out with her beautiful mother.

“No. Your father would not judge people by their looks,” Shang Luo said coldly.

“But I…”

“Impossible. The Zhao family will not agree to break off the engagement.”

Shang Luo directly interrupted Zhao Ziyan’s words of resistance. The Lin family was kind to the Zhao family, and Zhao Ziyan and Lin Feng were betrothed before birth. Even if she wanted to break off the engagement as Zhao Ziyan wished, the Zhao family ancestors in the ancestral land would definitely object. Those long-lived Zhao family ancestors valued kindness the most. If they knew Zhao Ziyan wanted to break off the engagement based on looks, those elders would definitely take Zhao Ziyan away until Zhao Ziyan agreed to accept the engagement.

“You will pay the price for this, Shang Luo. I like women, just like this kind of liking.” Zhao Ziyan said angrily.

Seeing her beautiful mother speak so decisively, she knew that her beautiful mother would definitely not break off the engagement with that gorilla. Zhao Ziyan braced herself, lunged into her beautiful mother’s arms, and fiercely kissed her red lips. Her agile tongue rampaged in Shang Luo’s mouth. After kissing for a full ten seconds, Zhao Ziyan instantly flashed into the space before her beautiful mother could recover.

Hiding in the space, Zhao Ziyan immediately collapsed limply onto the ground. What did she just do? She actually wolf-kissed her beautiful mother! Heaven and Earth bear witness, she absolutely had no blasphemous thoughts towards her beautiful mother. But why did she kiss her? It must be that her beautiful mother was too beautiful. It wasn’t that she couldn’t resist the temptation. Thinking of her beautiful mother’s slightly swollen lips from her kiss, “I’m dead,” those three words constantly lingered in Zhao Ziyan’s mind.

Ignoring the cowardly Zhao Ziyan with a guilty mind, Shang Luo instantly woke up when Zhao Ziyan flashed into the space. Her face immediately darkened. She calmly dressed, elegantly ate breakfast, and unhurriedly discussed the candidates for the Haotian Space entry with the clan elders. If Zhao Ziyan were present, she would definitely know that this was the calm before the storm…

Shang Luo felt she was in trouble. Yes, not just ordinary trouble. Since childhood, she had been heaven’s favored one. After marriage, she had a loving husband. They were harmonious as a couple. Although her husband died young, the husband’s family was good to her and did not mistreat her and her orphaned child. Logically speaking, she should have continued to live smoothly until she went to the underworld to find her husband. But now, she felt she needed to discipline the last heir of the Zhao family properly. If she continued to spoil that rebellious daughter as she had for the past sixteen years, Shang Luo knew she would be angered to death sooner or later. If it were just being a wastrel, Shang Luo felt that under her influence, that heir would eventually mature and become a qualified Head of the Zhao family. But now, Shang Luo was unsure. Perhaps gradual influence had no effect on that heir. Otherwise, how could she commit such an outrage? (Author: Sure enough, after being kissed, you forgot Ziyan’s sexual orientation? Beautiful Mother, calm down! Ziyan is creating a diversion.)

Zhao Ziyan naturally didn’t know what awaited her when she emerged from the space. Currently, she was carefully examining this small space. Calling it a small space would insult this Immortal Artifact.

“The Immortal Artifact that Master obtained is truly amazing! This space must be thousands of miles large! If it weren’t for the absence of humans, I would almost think it was a real world, not an Immortal Artifact space.”

Zhao Ziyan praised the Immortal Artifact repeatedly, and at the same time, she felt that her master, Wuchenzi, died too unjustly. In the memory crystallization after Wuchenzi’s death, she saw that Wuchenzi had been trying to refine the Immortal Artifact since he obtained it, thus neglecting his cultivation. Three hundred years of refining day after day, yet he didn’t fully master the Immortal Artifact. Instead, he injured his vitality, causing his cultivation to drop from the Integration stage to the Nascent Soul stage. If Wuchenzi hadn’t neglected his cultivation, how could he, with the Star Sect’s powerful cultivation method, be compared to scum like the Soul Devouring Old Ancestor? As the old saying goes, “Every bite and every sip is predetermined by Heaven.”
