At the same time, Yu Yuanzhen was watching his simple-minded eldest son in the courtyard.
Over the past five years, he had spared no effort in trying to treat his eldest son's head, but it simply couldn't be cured.
For five whole years, he spent hundreds of thousands of gold spirit coins and sought out various folk remedies, but his eldest son not only didn't recover but seemed to become even dumber.
He would just smile foolishly all day. Yu Yuanzhen wanted his daughter-in-law to sleep with his eldest son, hoping they would quickly produce some grandchildren.
However, his eldest son, being simple-minded, had no idea what it meant to sleep together. Even when his eldest son and daughter-in-law were locked in the same room, with the daughter-in-law trying to guide him,
his eldest son didn't understand any of it and had no patience. As soon as he was confined to the room, he would bang violently on the doors and windows.
Once, when his daughter-in-law was trying to guide his eldest son into intimacy, the eldest son grew impatient and even struck her, almost making her return home. Yu Yuanzhen had to plead with her to stay.
This left Yu Yuanzhen feeling extremely anxious. He was filled with hatred now, wishing he could slaughter that scoundrel Zhao Ling.
But he knew it was impossible to kill Zhao Ling. He had heard that four years ago, Zhao Ling fought the Grand Priest of Spirit Hall, and the battle ended in a draw.
Yu Yuanzhen found this outrageous. What kind of power did the Grand Priest of Spirit Hall possess? He was a level 99 Limit Douluo, renowned as invincible in the sky.
And Zhao, who looked so young—though he was actually thirty-two or thirty-three at the time, he appeared to be around twenty—how could he have fought a Limit Douluo to a draw?
Although Yu Yuanzhen found this information hard to believe, he had to accept it because the fight had been witnessed by more than half of Spirit City. It couldn't be fake.
Because of this, even though Yu Yuanzhen and the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disliked Zhao Ling, they didn't dare to openly fall out with him.
They could only resort to some underhanded and despicable means to target him, such as the widely publicized incident five years ago in Heaven Dou Imperial City, where the Demon Suppressing Douluo allegedly plotted to harm Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. This was all orchestrated by their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After they successfully plotted that incident, which caused Zhao Ling to lose his position as a royal protector, they were initially pleased. After all, their plan was successful, and they managed to draw a clear line between Zhao Ling and the imperial family.
However, they soon found out that Zhao Ling himself had no interest in being a royal protector; the imperial family was simply overly enthusiastic. With their scheme, Zhao Ling used it as an excuse to resign from his position as royal protector.
For this, the imperial family even imprisoned over a dozen important officials whom their clan had contacted, and several families were even raided and wiped out by the imperial family.
If their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hadn't had such deep foundations, and if he, a Titled Douluo, hadn't been in charge, the imperial family would probably have come looking for trouble with their clan.
Later, Yu Yuanzhen didn't dare to easily offend Zhao Ling anymore. However, they did send people to secretly investigate the identities of the beautiful women in Zhao Ling's mansion.
But no matter how they investigated, they couldn't uncover the identities of those beautiful women, nor could they find any information about their families.
This gave Yu Yuanzhen a major headache; he couldn't figure out how to deal with the situation. Most importantly, his people didn't dare to openly abduct and interrogate them. They could only send people to subtly probe for information.
If they were to send people to abduct and interrogate them, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would likely face utter destruction.
"Tap, tap, tap..." The sound of footsteps grew from distant to near. Before long, a figure walked into the courtyard. Yu Yuanzhen looked up and saw it was his second younger brother, and he asked.
"Second Brother, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yu Loumian sighed heavily, his brows tightly furrowed: "It's all because of my illegitimate daughter. She seemed to have returned home a few days ago, left me a note, and then disappeared again. She's getting wilder and wilder."
"It's nothing, your niece is an adult now, what could happen? Don't worry," Yu Yuanzhen tried to comfort his second brother, but Yu Loumian shook his head.
"I'm not afraid of her encountering danger; I'm just afraid she'll be led astray by some wild men."
Yu Loumian was somewhat exasperated, thinking to himself that next time his daughter came home, he would definitely lock her up to prevent her from running around.
He looked up at his simple-minded eldest nephew, who was still smiling foolishly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's been over five years, and Big Long still hasn't recovered. I truly don't know how to cure him.
Most importantly, he hasn't been able to leave descendants for our clan. Otherwise, with that child's talent, the descendants he leaves behind would surely be excellent."
Yu Yuanzhen rolled his eyes in annoyance at his second brother's words. Can you please not bring this up? I'm already distraught, and you're still talking about these things. Are you trying to make me even more upset?
Yu Loumian, unaware that his elder brother was growing impatient, then asked.
"Otherwise... Elder Brother, why don't you let that child Xiaogang sleep with Big Long's wife... Although that child Xiaogang's talent isn't great, he is, after all, a direct descendant of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His bloodline is definitely not bad..."
I'll be damned... Yu Yuanzhen felt like hitting someone. Is my second brother crazy?
To suggest letting Xiaogang sleep with Big Long's wife? How could their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan do such a thing? Wouldn't they be laughed at?
Yu Loumian felt his elder brother's murderous gaze and quickly explained: "Elder Brother, I don't mean anything else. It's just that with Big Long's current condition, it seems there's no hope for him to recover.
For the future of our clan, we can only inconvenience Big Long. And I assume, Elder Brother, you wouldn't want your lineage to die out, would you?"
Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists tightly. Finally, he decided to let his daughter-in-law try to guide his foolish son into intimacy one more time.
If his foolish son was truly beyond saving, then he would simply let his second son and daughter-in-law become a couple. This would also save his daughter-in-law from living a lonely life.
Five years—how many five-year periods does a woman have in her life? Perhaps his second son could take on the responsibility of continuing the family's lineage?
So, Yu Yuanzhen went to work on his daughter-in-law's mind again. Having been beaten before, she initially refused vehemently, but eventually, pressured by Yu Yuanzhen, she reluctantly agreed.
Thus, she once again tentatively tried to guide her husband into intimacy, but this time, it failed as usual.
Her husband grew increasingly agitated, and although his face was full of foolish smiles, he slapped her repeatedly, driving her to the brink.
In a fit of anger, she decided to return to her maiden home. She simply couldn't take it anymore. Her husband used to be a paragon of men, but now he was a complete fool. Who could stand it?
