Chapter 1336 Lorraine 24
Tan You chuckled: "To put it bluntly, the Free Territory is the territory of the gods, not my territory. I have the right to govern, but I don't own it."
"The Free Territory has many races, but as you've seen, it's not a good thing for humans to live among them. You will eventually marry and have children. If you can get along well with the races of the Free Territory, can you guarantee that your descendants will share your views?"
"It would be better to isolate them as soon as possible, learn their skills in freedom, and then go to Silent Hill to rebuild the family."
"Once the Freedom Territory is on the right track, I will step down as lord, and then I will live with you in Silent Hill."
Louis's panic subsided considerably, and he looked at Tan You earnestly and said, "I'm fine with living anywhere, as long as my elder sister is here."
Tan You: "Of course I will always be here. I will rebuild the Houston family with you, and the light of the moss flower will shine forever."
Tartarus knew that Tan You wouldn't last long as lord, so he wasn't disappointed. If Tan You was leaving the Free Territory, he would go with her. He also wanted to see how Tan You would rebuild the Houston family.
“I thought you would rebuild the Houston family in Liberty.”
Tan You chuckled: "I had this idea before coming to the Free Territory, but just now, I completely gave up on it."
"We have a saying in our area, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts,' and another saying, 'Distance makes things fragrant, closeness makes things foul.'"
"They are not of the same race, so there is no need to force them to merge together."
"Later on, the Houston family found themselves caught between two sides: the humans wouldn't accept them, and they couldn't fully integrate into the Free Territory."
"While I'm here, the Houston family is certainly living well in the Liberty, but there will come a day when I'm gone. What will they do then?"
"It would be better not to get too close in the first place, so as to preserve some of the kinship."
Tartarus tapped Tan You on the head: "With such a heavy heart, no wonder you're so sturdy. All your emotions are stored in your mind."
Tan You used to be very sensitive about people saying she was fat, but now she's more at ease with it.
But Louis wouldn't have it. In his eyes, his eldest sister was the best, and he wondered, "Where is my eldest sister fat?" He didn't dare to confront Tartarus directly, so he could only mutter under his breath, but his mutterings were loud enough for everyone to hear: "Where is my eldest sister fat?"
"Back when we lived in the capital, everyone said my eldest sister was the most beautiful woman in the capital. She was so beautiful."
Tartarus chuckled; he could naturally see Tan You through Lorraine's face.
"It is indeed very beautiful, elegant and dignified."
Some people, even if they are chubby, their beauty is undeniable.
Louis was finally satisfied. He clung to the chair and jumped up, asking, "Big sister, are we going to live in Silent Hill from now on?"
“Yes, we have the Moonstone. In the past, the profits from Silent Hill all benefited the Dubot family. Now it’s our turn to make it ourselves.”
Louis said with some worry, "But we don't have anyone, and I'm still young."
Tan You chuckled: "No rush, one must take things one step at a time. Once we've sorted things out in the Free Territory, we'll begin rebuilding the family."
"It's this person..."
She thought for a moment: "Aren't there many homeless children on the mainland? The family needs manpower, so let's recruit these children into the family and train them well. There will always be some who can be used." Louis nodded: "I understand, eldest sister wants to raise people again."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tan You patted his forehead: "I'm giving back to society. Have you forgotten what I said? The strong have social responsibilities, and we're not losing out either."
“They can’t survive, we need people, we complement each other and achieve mutual success.”
Louis frowned: "But those who can't survive are mostly girls. What would we do with so many girls?"
“I’m a girl too,” Tan You said calmly. “In this world, apart from physically demanding jobs, there’s no job that men can do but women can’t. We’re all the same. Some men are far inferior to women.”
“I plan to send this former head of the guard to Silent Hill to rebuild the Houston family. If he doesn’t do a good job, I’ll replace him.”
Louise asked with anticipation, "I've never been to Silent Hill, big sister, can we go and see it?"
“That will have to wait until things are on the right track in the Free Territory,” Tan You said in a low voice, tapping the table. “We can’t do things haphazardly. We don’t need to do everything ourselves. As leaders, we just need to keep an eye on the big picture.”
"Learning how to use people is the most important thing."
Louis recalled Tan You's actions since arriving in the Free Territory and a vague understanding dawned on him. Tan You looked at him, her eyes full of anticipation.
The burden of rebuilding the Houston family ultimately falls on this kid's shoulders. Given the original owner's hopeless romantic naiveté, she has no illusions about her; she'd better focus on developing her alternate account.
As for the original owner of this body, she was always able to suppress it.
To be honest, this little Louis has quite a heavy burden. He alone has to shoulder the responsibility of continuing the family line. We need to pay close attention to his health in the future.
In the past, the land of exile was filled with the aura of death during winter. But this winter is different. The casualty rate in the territory has dropped to a new low, and it seems that the shadow of death that has long shrouded the Free Territory has been dispelled.
Tan You and Tartarus sat facing each other, with a chessboard in front of them and a small stove next to them, on which persimmons, chestnuts, frozen pears, sweet potatoes and other foods were roasting, making the small room warm and cozy.
Louis was doing his homework at the small table next to him, while Tan Yousui, though busy, didn't neglect his studies. It was too cold to go out in the snow, so he decided to study at home.
Many children are unwilling to study, but Louis, who once lived under someone else's roof, was different. He had a greedy desire to learn and couldn't wait to finish his studies so he could go out and make a name for himself.
The silvery snowfield buries the scent of death, yet also nurtures new life. Beneath the thick snow, various crops are gathering energy for spring, and the hope of life is already visible.
Tartarus placed a piece: "Your crops are all very resilient, and none of them are found on the continent."
Tan You raised an eyebrow: "That's why I said you've hit the jackpot. These things of mine are much more valuable than money."
“Yes, I’ve really struck gold,” Tartarus poured Tan You a cup of tea. A god pouring tea for himself—Tan You accepted it without a shred of guilt. How many good things had this Lord of the Abyss taken from her?
He took samples of every single one of the mutated plants she collected in the previous world. These were plants she had painstakingly gathered!
However, considering that she had arrived in this world alone and helpless, and Tartarus had provided her with the greatest protection, allowing her to roam freely across the continent, their deal was fair, and she hadn't suffered any loss.
