Oh, heavens.
Shen Yunyun immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Tang Gao, the fifty-sixth generation descendant of the Tang family, along with his wife Liu and concubine Wu, pay respects to the ancestor."
Shen Yunyun thought to herself that this Tang Gao was quite something—not only had he lived a long life himself, but both his wife and concubine had also achieved longevity.
She nodded and pulled out three pills: "These are longevity-extending elixirs, with the effect of prolonging life. I hope you all stay healthy."
The phrase "live to a hundred" circled in her mind before she swallowed it back.
They were already centenarians; wishing them a hundred years of life would no longer be a blessing but a curse.
The three quickly thanked her and swallowed the pills on the spot.
Tang Gao, due to his advanced age, had lost his body's warmth and wore more clothes than the average person.
Once the pill entered his stomach, he felt a cozy warmth in his lower abdomen, and soon he began to feel hot.
He tried to take off his clothes, but his attendants quickly stopped him, yet he kept insisting he was hot.
Liu and Wu also felt hot and busied themselves unbuttoning their clothes.
"Tang Qi, the fifty-seventh generation descendant of the Tang family..."
Shen Yunyun looked at these fifty-seventh generation descendants, all elderly men and women in their eighties and nineties, eight in total, and handed out another eight longevity-extending elixirs.
After giving those away, she had none left, so she simply placed the small bottle on the side table.
Next came the fifty-eighth generation, and naturally, the group was larger, so Shen Yunyun directly gave out red envelopes.
She felt that giving the longevity elixirs to the elderly and only red envelopes to the younger ones seemed a bit lacking, so she took out the zombie crystals.
As long as she didn't mention that these shiny things were dug out of zombie heads, no one would know where they came from.
However, what she gave out were all white zombie crystals—those that hadn't evolved yet.
But even so, these things were still very beautiful, more dazzling than diamonds, brilliant and eye-catching.
Especially those that had been blasted by laser cannons—they were even more beautiful and pure.
Sure enough, everyone's eyes lit up at the sight of these shiny objects.
Clearly, they weren't glass beads.
What the ancestor bestowed must be something valuable.
By the time it came to Tang Yu's generation, the age range was vast, from those in their fifties down to children just a few years old.
No wonder people say the eldest branch's grandson is the youngest branch's grandfather—that's how generational differences come about.
After all the greetings were done, Shen Yunyun felt her face, as the ancestor, was nearly frozen from smiling.
Good heavens, she had skipped the whole process of becoming a mother without pain and directly became an ancestor.
"Great-aunt, what is this shiny thing?" Tang Yu asked quietly.
"Take it if I give it to you. It can be a family heirloom, passed down to your son, and then to your grandson."
"Then, Great-aunt, give me a few more. I want to have more children."
Shen Yunyun: "..."
Seeing his great-aunt at a loss for words, Tang Yu was in a great mood.
He stopped joking and lowered his voice to tell her, "There are still some people outside who couldn't make it back in time. When they return, I'll bring them to see you."
Shen Yunyun: "..."
There are more?
Aren't there already over six hundred people?
Thinking about it, it made sense. There were over six hundred here, but they had been passed down for over a thousand years, spanning more than sixty generations. Besides those who died in wars, by now, there should be tens of thousands of them.
At the thought of that scene, Shen Yunyun's scalp tingled.
"No need. Let them shine and contribute to society out there. I don't need anyone to protect me."
Tang Yu's face turned bright red.
