When Duoa first learned about this matter, he felt a chill down his spine.

At this moment, she secretly felt sad for Yiman, and at the same time she understood Natsume Laoji's plan.

Although, Natsume said that all this was for Butterfly Valley, for the home where they lived.

But actually?

Only she herself knows what she is thinking.

However, Duoa naturally would not tell these things to outsiders.

She just looked at Yiman silently, with a trace of compassion in her eyes.

The group came to the bamboo house where Natsume Laoji lived.

"That man is no ordinary person. You two, whether you become his slaves or servants, or even his concubines, you must stay with him closely! Do you understand?"

Natsume Laosi stared at Yiman and A-Cha, and gave instructions word by word.

Upon hearing this, Yiman and A-Cha looked at each other, both of them with confusion in their eyes.

After returning to his room, Natsume waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only the clan leader Duoa.

Seeing Duo'a's strange expression, she seemed to have guessed something, so she asked leisurely, "Do you think I'm unscrupulous in order to achieve my goals?"

"without……"

Duoa didn't expect Lao Si to suddenly ask such a question.

She was a little flustered for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

He opened his mouth but couldn't utter any complete words.

"I know what's in your mind."

Natsume Laoji's expression was as calm as water. "But, these don't matter to me."

Duoa lowered his head, not daring to look the other person in the eye.

Natsume Laosi sighed softly, walked to the window, and looked out at the Butterfly Valley shrouded in darkness. He slowly said, "Duoa, you know that Butterfly Valley is now at a critical moment of life and death. The outside forces are eyeing us covetously, and the resources in the valley are becoming increasingly scarce. If we don't find strong support, we will all die."

Duoa raised her head, her eyes full of doubt: "But if I let Yiman and A-Cha follow that person, will Butterfly Valley be safe?"

Natsume turned around, his eyes deep, "That man is definitely not an ordinary person. I see that he has an extraordinary bearing and his skills are unfathomable.

If Yiman and the others could gain his protection, perhaps they could repay Butterfly Valley in the future, besides…"

She paused, her voice becoming a little deeper, "Although the matter of Blood Lady was cruel, it was also a helpless move for Butterfly Valley to continue.

If Yiman can use that person's power to cultivate the Blood Lady and successfully control her, it will be of great benefit to the valley."

Duoa frowned, feeling mixed emotions. "But this is so unfair to Yiman. She should have lived a carefree life, but now she has to bear such a heavy fate."

Natsume Laosi walked up to Duoa and patted her shoulder: "This is her life, and the life of Butterfly Valley.

As people of the valley, we must consider the interests of our fellow tribesmen. As the tribe leader, you should understand this principle even more."

Duoa was silent.

However, she soon raised her head in shock.

"Actually... Yiman is my granddaughter!"

Natsume Laoji took a deep breath and slowly revealed a secret that had been buried for many years.

"what?!"

Duoa's eyes widened instantly, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"Didn't you say before that she was an orphan you adopted?"

A bitter smile appeared on Natsume Laoji's lips.

"That was all a lie to you, and it was also a lie to her."

"No wonder..."

Duoa murmured to herself, and the image of Natsume Laoji's daily meticulous care and attention to Yiman emerged in her mind.

It turns out that this kindness is not just because Yiman is the recipient of the Blood Lady.

"But……"

Duoa had so many questions in her mind that she couldn't even speak them out loud.

As if he could see through her thoughts, Natsume said, "You want to ask, since she is my own granddaughter, why did I choose her to be the recipient of the Blood Lady, right?"

"Yes." Duoa nodded.

"Do you know who the previous recipient of the Blood Lady was?"

Natsume didn't answer directly, but asked another question.

"who is it?"

"Yiman's mother."

Natsume Laosi spoke slowly, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Duo'a's heart hard, "She is also my biological daughter."

"This……"

Duoa couldn't believe her ears, she felt her mind was in a mess.

A hint of reminiscence flashed across Natsume Laoji's turbid eyes, as if he had returned to the past that he could not bear to look back on.

“Everything was about to succeed, but who could have imagined that an accident would happen.

That shameless rebellious girl actually had an affair with another wild man behind my back and even got pregnant!"

At this point, Natsume Laoji's tone was filled with anger and a strong hatred of being disappointed in his friends.

"I can't help it. I can't just watch the hard work of my family go to waste.

So, when she gave birth to Yiman, the blood from her body was transferred to Yiman."

Natsume Laoji sighed helplessly.

That sigh contained too much pain and helplessness.

Duoa listened quietly, but her heart was like a raging storm.

She knew that the Blood Lady was not an ordinary poisonous insect.

If it is not fully developed, it will be forcibly removed from the recipient's body.

The recipient will have all his blood and essence sucked out by the Blood Lady, and will eventually die a tragic death.

"If the Blood Lady is brought to maturity, Yiman can subdue her and use her for her own benefit. By then, even the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Miao Border will not be able to match her!"

As Natsume Laoji said this, his eyes were full of longing.

It was as if I had already seen the day when Yiman would become a legend in Miaojiang.

At this point, Duoa seemed to have just woken up from a dream and understood the deep meaning behind Natsume's plan.

"Old Si...is this all worth it?"

Duoa hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

Natsume was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Duoa to ask such a question.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily, her eyes revealing a firmness: "Worth it!"

“If we can cultivate a mature Blood Lady, it will not only fulfill our family’s long-cherished wish, but will also make our Butterfly Valley famous throughout the Miao ethnic group.

Whether it's the three major Miao villages in Lingnan or the poison den in Miaojiang, they will all look at our Butterfly Valley differently!"

Natsume became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen the day when he would be honored.

Duoa always thought that Natsume was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

All I want is to retire to the countryside and live a peaceful and happy life.

Unexpectedly, she had such great ambitions in her heart.

At this moment, Duoa felt as if he was meeting the other person for the first time.

His eyes were filled with intense surprise and disbelief.
