157: Chapter 157 How come his wife is so good?

"It is good that you are unharmed, but have your clansmen given you any trouble?"

Feng Yange looked at Long Ze's weary face, her eyes filled with worry. "A-Ze, if there is anything you need help with, just ask. I will do my best to assist you."

Long Ze smiled slightly, the tenderness in his eyes threatening to overflow.

"Mistress, I am fine. They did not give me any trouble. They have simply been searching for me all these years. That day, when I was suddenly summoned, it was using the Dragon Clan's unique Dragon-Seeking Method, intended to allow members of the Dragon Clan who could not return home to find their way back."

Long Ze also told Feng Yange that after he returned, he was questioned by the elders of the Dragon Clan, which was why he could not reply to her messages in time. Furthermore, the Dragon Clan's signal transmission was slow.

"A-Ze, do your clansmen know that you have formed a contract with me? Did they blame you for choosing me, a human, as your Mistress?" Feng Yange asked, voicing the doubts in her heart. Long Ze shook his head. "No. They were surprised when they learned my Mistress was a human. I told them what happened between us, and they were relieved. They said that as long as you treat me well, that is enough."

Feng Yange was very surprised. Was the Dragon Clan actually this easy to talk to?

Long Ze's gaze was very gentle. "Mistress, once I have properly settled the affairs of the Dragon Clan, I will bring you to meet my clansmen. They need to make some preparations."

Feng Yange sighed in relief. "A-Ze, do your clansmen need any shape-shifting pills? I can send them some as a gift, or if there are any other Medicinal Pills they want, I can concoct them."

"Mistress, just concocting some water-avoiding pills will suffice. They want to meet you."

Long Ze took out a fiery red bead and waved it in front of Feng Yange as if presenting a treasure. "Mistress, I found the fire spirit bead. The Dragon Clan has one fire spirit bead, and I heard there is also a water spirit bead, though I do not know whose hands it is in."

Feng Yange felt happy for a fleeting moment upon seeing the fire spirit bead, but then her mood sank. "A-Ze, from now on, just be yourself, just like you were at the very beginning in the eggshell. I do not need you to change."

Long Ze's eyes flickered with surprise. The Mistress had actually noticed.

"You are my first husband. I do not need you to pretend to be profound just to take care of others. Just be yourself and be with me." She had not seen Long Ze truly happy for a long time. He was working hard to maintain this home, trying to become steady and mature, but she did not need any of that.

"Mistress..."

Long Ze's eyes became moist, but he smiled. "Why are you so good?"

He had thought that the Mistress would not notice the changes in him. After all, other first husbands were expected to be magnanimous and steady, and he had been trying hard to learn that, yet the Mistress had seen his changes.

"I will always treat you well, A-Ze. We must always be as we were before, happy and well." She truly liked Long Ze; she liked his haughty and spoiled appearance when he was in the eggshell. He could have his little temper; he did not need to change for anyone.

Long Ze agreed, tears swirling in his eyes. "Mistress, wait for me to come and fetch you."

Feng Yange agreed and cut the connection, only to discover the seven of them standing behind her. Seeing Feng Yange turn around, they quickly composed their expressions.

"You all heard it?"

Feng Yange walked up to them, and seeing them nod, she smiled slightly. "Then I do not need to repeat it. What I said to A-Ze is what I also want to say to you. As my partners, there is no need to deliberately change yourselves. Be yourselves, grow stronger together, and do not betray one another. We are a family forever."

"We came to call you for dinner."

Yue Lan spoke up. Seeing them all so incredibly moved, he just wanted to eat dinner quickly; he was afraid that if they were late, that dog would snatch his food.

"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat."

Cang Yan glared at Yue Lan with displeasure. "When the Mistress is speaking, you must listen."

Yue Lan lowered his eyes. After being reprimanded, he did not say a word, but his mood was not affected at all; he still wanted to eat.

"He is not my husband yet, so be polite to him." Feng Yange's tone was uncharacteristically gentle as she looked at the mist in their eyes. "Let's go. If we are late, Zhushou will eat everything."

"That silly dog is named Zhushou?" Yue Lan looked shocked. Seeing Feng Yange nod, she smiled and introduced them to him one by one. Yue Lan's icy blue eyes were full of surprise, and his Prodigy-like face was filled with curiosity. No matter what Feng Yange said, he found it extremely novel.

"It can actually be like this? You are too clever."

After hearing the logic behind Feng Yange's naming, it was as if a new world had opened up for Yue Lan. He followed by Feng Yange's side like a curious baby, directly pushing the others aside. The few who couldn't get a word in looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

"We agreed not to compete for favor, yet his mouth just keeps flapping." Bai Jiuxiao did not like it at all; he didn't even have a chance to act spoiled and ask for a hug from the Mistress.

Ling Feng and Xuan Li exchanged a glance and tacitly went to help set the table. Especially Xuan Li—he was now the second husband. With Long Ze away, he could no longer be as willful as before; he had to look like a second husband.

Mo Yuan and Jun Chen just focused on eating. To them, no matter how many men the Mistress married, they were all family. As long as they didn't hold her back, had good character, were liked by the Mistress, weren't ugly, and were powerful, they had no objections.

Li Mingye accompanied them as always. He was the only human among them and would tell them how humans should eat and discuss other private matters. These past few days, Mo Yuan had been constantly pulling him into meetings, and with those books, it could be considered a successful brainwashing.

"Master, can I still eat sea beasts tomorrow?"

Dengdeng's voice was soft and sweet. Especially now, wearing a little green dress, she acted spoiled towards Feng Yange in a soft and cute way. Before Feng Yange could speak, Yue Lan snatched the answer. "Of course you can. Whatever you want to eat, just ask. I will get it all for you. Eat as much as you want."

"Thank you, pretty brother." Dengdeng thanked him sweetly. The Sword and Zhushou exchanged a glance. Zhushou quickly went to rub against Yue Lan. "Pretty brother, I want to eat a lot, too. Master can make so many, many flavors."

"Pretty brother, can you get some big things we haven't eaten before?"

The Sword joined Dengdeng, acting cute and spoiled. Yue Lan was overjoyed by their calling him that and agreed to everything one by one. The Sword Spirit Seniors revealed a smile, but Yue Lan quickly stopped them. "You all don't need to."

He dared not imagine the scene of over a hundred old men acting spoiled towards him. Just seeing their current expressions made his eyes ache.

Feng Yange really couldn't bear to watch. What kind of creatures had she raised? For the sake of food, they would truly do anything.

However, seeing them so happy, Feng Yange specially exchanged various seasonings from the System Mall, intending to let them taste new flavors.

"Mistress, can I speak with you alone?" Cang Yan knocked on Feng Yange's door, looking at the house with curiosity in his eyes.

Feng Yange set the large iron pot aside. "What do you want to say? Do you want a room in this house? You and I already have a marriage contract; there is a room here for you. If you don't understand something, just ask them."

"It is not that, but rather..."
