Chapter 184 The Cape Family
Ye Qing received the order to accompany Sophie to participate in the family hunting, except for being surprised and troublesome, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Sophie ordered him to accompany her for a good reason: she needed a reliable cook.

This reason is very serious.

Although Ye Qing had just arrived in the Western Region, he had also heard about the internal strife among the heirs of the Cape family.

The Capet family is a marquis family, originally equal to Fasha.

It's just a pity that the Capet family did not have an SSS-level challenger, so as Fasha reached the top, the Capet family was weaker than the Abidal family.

In order to reverse the current disadvantage in the family competition, it has become the most important task for the Capet family to choose an outstanding, intelligent and marquis heir who can lead the family to grow.

The old Marquis Henry Capet has been the patriarch for more than 60 years, and it has been 30 years since he became an SS class.

After 30 years of no progress, even the most marginal members of the Capet family knew that it was impossible for the old patriarch to become an SSS-level challenger.

Sophie Capet is Henry Capet's biological granddaughter, so she is undoubtedly one of the legal heirs.

But unfortunately, the Marquess Henry had more than 10 sons, so his grandsons and granddaughters are naturally more than 50.

Marquis Henry has always been very dissatisfied with the fact that his son's fertility is generally not as good as his own.

As his sons were either disabled or killed in battle, Marquis Henry issued a patriarchal order a few years ago to select successors from the next generation, that is, grandchildren.

Sophie Capet is the fifth heir to the Capet family.

This ranking needs to follow strict Western traditions and inheritance laws and will not change due to Marquis Henry's personal likes and dislikes.

Otherwise, Sophie, who has the title of 'Shame of the Capet Family', will not be included in the successor list at all.

"My dear chef, do you know how many people in the family want me dead?"

"There are 52 members of the Capet family who are qualified to inherit the marquis, and I am the fifth in the list. This means that there are more than 5 bastards who dream of my death."

"My staple food, desserts, and drinks may all be poisoned, so all ingredients must pass through your hands before they can enter my mouth. Do you understand?"

Ye Qing didn't want to talk.

He really wanted to remind President Sophie that he was just a new cook, and it was entirely possible that he would be appointed or bought by her competitors.

So, Sophie really shouldn't trust herself so much. Could it be that this cunning woman doesn't have the word 'spy' in her mind?

The environment in the Western Region really surprised Ye Qing.

Maybe the Western Challengers are really leisurely, or they really know how to enjoy themselves.

They continued to renovate and expand the western region, within the scope allowed by the system, making the reincarnation space less and less like a virtual world.

For example, the existence of hunting grounds, Ye Qing finds it unbelievable.

Although Sophie explained that there are a large number of artist-like challengers in the western region, they are only obsessed with how to better display their artistic talents.

Libraries, art galleries, opera houses, these elements that hardly help customs clearance dungeons, but greatly improve the quality of life, have all appeared in the world of reincarnation in the western region.

So of course, things like racetracks and hunting grounds, which have been loved by Western nobles since ancient times, have also been successfully built by craftsman challengers.

"A family exclusive hunting ground can be sold for 600 million reincarnation points." Ye Qing was thinking in his mind.

No wonder, on the reincarnation battlefield back then, the western region obviously had the advantages of numbers and powerhouses, but the combat supplies were obviously lacking.

In particular, the assembly ratio of the stand-in dolls is far lower than that of the Eastern Region.

Compared with the hedonism of Westerners, Easterners have deep-rooted savings habits, not just currency, but also items worth storing and accumulating.

It was Guan Dingshan who stored a large number of stand-in dolls that gave [Qianlong] members the confidence to fear death.

In contrast, Ye Qing really doesn't know how to evaluate reincarnation points on music, art, horse racing and hunting.

Do Western challengers know how to enjoy life?
Or the upper-class nobles don't care about the life and death of the lower-class challengers, and regard them as cannon fodder on the battlefield of reincarnation, and don't bother to spend too much on them.

Ye Qing's two thoughts are not in conflict, it is completely possible to have both.

This reminded him of Sophie Capet. During the few days of his brief contact with her, he witnessed with his own eyes how this SS-rank snake girl created enhanced equipment for the members of the guild without exhaustion.

Among the members who received the equipment, there were many low-level challengers of C-level, E-level, and F-level.

A challenger of this level, even in Ye Qing's subconscious mind, he doesn't feel that they have much value for cultivation and expectation.

And Sophie Capet never deprived these people of their right to distribute equipment because their level was too low.

"The Virgin?"

A ridiculous word flashed through Ye Qing's mind.

impossible.

Where in the world is there such a Holy Mother?

Mouthing lies and killing enemies with frag grenades?

"Qingye, is my lunch ready?" Sophie asked suddenly.

The two were sitting in the carriage, and the air of a girl wafted in the narrow carriage, making Ye Qing a little embarrassed to take a deep breath.

He nodded.

"The lunch boxes are full, and the dishes are rich, don't worry, President." Ye Qing said.

"Very good." Sophie Capet nodded seriously. "In case the family members force me to eat the food they prepare, I will insist that you are one of my fanatical suitors. If I don't eat the food you made with your own hands, you will die!"

Ye Qing: "..."

No, I will not.

Capet family, hunting grounds.

Ye Qing got off the carriage first, then raised his hand and helped Sophie Cappe get out of the carriage.

This action is very gentlemanly, but Ye Qing doesn't want to do it at all.

It was just Sophie who insisted on the reason that he had to behave like a qualified suitor, otherwise the setting of 'if you don't eat his food, he will commit suicide' would not be sustainable.

There was still an hour before the hunt began, but Sophie was the last one to arrive.

The remaining 51 successors arrived early, and now they are surrounded by an old man with white beard and hair, wearing traditional aristocratic costumes.

The moment the old man met Sophie's eyes, Ye Qing noticed that Sophie's whole demeanor had changed.

She put away her seductive smile, and even carefully hid the wise and mischievous light in her eyes.

It was the first time that Snake Girl showed a calm look in front of Ye Qing, but now she couldn't see any expression on her face.

Sophie walked up to the old man and wanted to salute him.

"Go away, you are blocking the sun." Marquis Henry said suddenly and coldly.

He glared at Sophie with a hawk-like gaze. Ye Qing stood at least ten meters away from the two of them, but he could clearly see Sophie trembling slightly because of this gaze.

"Grandpa, I'm really happy that you are still in good health." Sophie said softly, and slowly stepped aside.

But as soon as she finished speaking, another person said coldly: "The four of us are not dead yet. Of course you hope that grandpa is in good health. But if we die..."
