Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

But after the awkward situation just now, Chu Mingkong understood that this was the only thing to say in this situation. If you didn't say anything, it would mean acquiescence and resistance, showing no remorse whatsoever, and the situation would only worsen. This flimsy statement could at least ease the atmosphere, giving both sides a way out to temporarily step back from their current emotions and calm down.

"It seems that even the most seemingly foolish plot devices must have some deeper meaning and experiential insight if used frequently enough. But what can we do now..."

Inside the room, Gu Jungui sat on the bed, lost in thought, his mind filled with complicated emotions.

She wondered if she had thought too badly of Mingkong. He was so sensible... He had just said that he had been holding back his anger and couldn't control himself, which led to his outrageous behavior.

He used to be filial and law-abiding, and when he occasionally gave strange gifts, it was like a joke.

but,

Is the pent-up anger unable to dissipate?

Was Mingkong telling the truth, or was it just a temporary excuse?

Didn't he have Qin Keqing to relieve his lust? How come he still can't relieve it?

Oh! Could it be because Keqing's body is relatively weak, and Mingkong had to stop before he could ejaculate? He's not human, so he could only hold it in?

Gu Jungui felt that this was probably the case. She convinced herself to believe this guess, and this guess matched what Mingkong had said. He had also said that Keqing's body was too delicate.

She had her maid call Zhong Feihuang to her room.

Not long after, Zhong Feihuang returned. Zhong Feihuang thought that her sister-in-law was calling her back to comfort her because she was afraid that she was still sad. However, as soon as Zhong Feihuang entered the room, she realized that her sister-in-law was the one who was starting to worry.

"Sister-in-law, why did you call me back? Where did that brat Mingkong go?"

When it came to making Gu Jungui happy, Zhong Feihuang felt she had to invite Chu Mingkong over.

Gu Jungui pulled Zhong Feihuang to sit beside him, held her hand, and asked solemnly:

"Feihuang, I have some questions for you about cultivation."

"Ask away! I'll tell you anything I know."

"It's just..." Gu Jun Gui hesitated for a moment. She wanted to get to the bottom of things, but she didn't want to reveal what had just happened between her and Ming Kong. "If a man with cultivation has marital relations with a woman without cultivation, will the woman be unable to bear the man and cause him to become agitated and angry?"

Zhong Feihuang was puzzled. Why was she asking about such a thing? She thought she had encountered some kind of bottleneck in her cultivation technique.

"That's true, but it depends on the level of cultivation. If the man's cultivation is average, then it won't really have any impact."

Gu Jun Gui didn't know what level Chu Ming Kong's cultivation was.

"What about the cultivation level that allows one to kill important figures in the street?"

Zhong Feihuang knew who it was and said irritably:

"Just say the man is Mingkong and the woman is Keqing. Why beat around the bush? We're all family now."

"How did you know?"

"Is there any need to guess?" Zhong Feihuang thought about the dagger she had just touched, her heart pounding, and nodded, "Keqing probably really can't withstand Mingkong. Mingkong will most likely have to accommodate Keqing. If he were to let loose, he could kill half of Keqing's body. So it's possible that Mingkong is holding back his anger."

Gu Jungui breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost wrongly accused Mingkong. It seemed that Mingkong had only done something foolish because he had been aroused by Keqing and hadn't been able to vent his anger for a few days.

"What should we do? Will Mingkong go crazy from holding it in?"

Zhong Feihuang had no idea what to do, so she tentatively said:

"How about we have Mingkong go to a brothel or a music academy and find a clean, unlicensed girl to satisfy his lust?"

Chapter 89 Deep Blue, help me add points! (54/58)

Chu Mingkong should go back and stay put for now. This is a big problem, but he can't apologize now. Aunt Gu is probably still angry.

I'll apologize in a couple of days. If that doesn't work, I'll just hold off on visiting Aunt Gu for a while and see if I can get her to soften her heart when I'm about to leave Beijing.

However, he did not return to the Prince's Mansion. His own Prince's Mansion was practically deserted. Zuo Qiuchi was not there, Gu Jungui was in a fit of anger, and Keqing was at home "recovering from her injuries." Only a group of maids were moving around the mansion.

Although the maids were pretty and charming, Chu Mingkong wasn't very interested in them. If he were to touch the maids of the Cui family now, and they complained to the acting clan leader Gu Jungui, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire?

Moreover, these maids had no cultivation to rely on, and if they really aroused his lust, these girls' bodies wouldn't be enough to satisfy him.

He went to the academy's library to stay, where at least Shangguan Rong was with him, and even just spacing out felt more comfortable.

Shangguan Rong and Chu Mingkong sat on the ground, with white paper and ink spread on the table in front of them. She was practicing calligraphy, meticulously writing down famous classical poems.

Chu Mingkong had no proper sitting posture. He sat upright for a while but got tired and lay down on the ground, resting his chin on his elbow.

From his angle, he could see Shangguan Rong's kneeling back. Actually, watching the backs of those well-proportioned girls kneeling is quite a treat.

Because her legs are bent, her buttocks tighten, making their outline appear much larger than when she's relaxed, and Shangguan Rong's shape is exquisite. Furthermore, when the girl kneels, her delicate feet rest under her buttocks, allowing one to appreciate two stunningly beautiful aspects of her figure even from behind.

Shangguan Rong felt uneasy under Chu Mingkong's gaze.

She changed the subject to distract Chu Mingkong:

"Mingkong, have you thought about how to tell the royal family that you want to leave the capital? This is not as perfunctory as your confinement at the academy."

Chu Mingkong showed an "I see" expression:

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that I was in solitary confinement. I thought I came here specifically to see you."

Shangguan Rong's usually steady hand holding the pen trembled, and even the most basic character "一" (one) became uneven. She muttered listlessly:

"...Glib-tongued, lecherous man."

Chu Mingkong returned to what she had just mentioned. It was indeed an important matter, and he needed to discuss it with her beforehand. He was no longer joking.

"My current plan is to go directly to the imperial court on the day I leave Beijing, and then leave."

"Reckless!" Shangguan Rong criticized mercilessly: "This is not good. You have finally won this period of peace. If you act recklessly outside the court, you can still have a reason to believe that the other party provoked you first. But if you act recklessly in the court, there will be no peace."

Listening to Shangguan Rong's habitually reprimanding tone, Chu Mingkong felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He didn't know why, but he felt that he might be being manipulated by Shangguan Rong. This was a very serious issue. This girl was indeed a smart person; she had managed to subtly influence his thinking, gradually making him accept her harsh tone and even develop a sense of dependence on her.

It's terrifying, even arrogant enough to present her plump, round buttocks to him like that!

We need to let her recall the fear of being disturbed.

Okay, that's a joke, but Chu Mingkong does find Shangguan Rong's tone of voice when scolding people quite cute now, since she's thinking of him, and Chu Mingkong can tell the difference.

"Then I'll remember who has a bad opinion of me, and I'll kidnap all the women in their families."

"Nonsense! What if the women in his family refuse to leave!" Shangguan Rong said seriously.

This was no joke. She couldn't understand why either. Chu Mingkong had been arrogantly eyeing the princes' affairs lately, but the young ladies from noble families had a much better opinion of him, especially after hearing that he now wanted to have an heir. Several young ladies from noble families had already come to Shangguan Rong to ask for connections to meet Chu Mingkong!

"Then what am I supposed to do? Are you just going to let me slip away without a word?"

Since Shangguan Rong brought this up, she had naturally already come up with a temporary solution for him:

"You must go to court a few days in advance and say you are going. But you must be careful with your excuse. You can't say you're going to Tianya City. You have to say you're going to find medicine for the Emperor. There's a secret herbal medicine realm under the jurisdiction of Xiaoxiang Qin Academy that's about to open."

That secret realm is called Stone Bamboo Ridge, a realm even the Hundred Herbs Valley of the Medicine Master Sect envies. However, you'll need to find a way to get the people from Xiaoxiang Qin Academy to testify that you entered the secret realm.

That's easy!

Chu Mingkong thought of the elder tokens that the elders of Xiaoxiang Qin Academy had inexplicably given him. He figured he could ask them for help when the time came, and there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Putting everything else aside, the female elder who was very satisfied with his jade dildo started again, sending him ordinary filial piety messages at a high frequency with all three of them at the same time.

Although it was a bit noisy, it was the elders' good intentions. They might have been a little nagging, but it was still very heartwarming!

"I have a solution to this. It's the same principle as having someone else sign in for you in class."

"?"

"It's alright, please continue."

"You went to court early to see if anyone would stop you from leaving the capital. There will definitely be people who don't want you to go to Tianya City. Even though you are a hostage now and everyone thinks you have no chance to go back, most people will have a backup plan and take precautions in advance to avoid delaying your trip to Tianya City."

"Then, using the pretext of finding medicine for the Emperor, anyone who tries to stop you can go and cause them trouble."

Chu Mingkong agreed wholeheartedly, thinking it was a great idea.

The princes have all been behaving themselves lately, making Chu Mingkong too embarrassed to seek out anyone to practice with.

"Rong'er, who do you think is most likely to stop me?"

Shangguan Rong pondered for a moment and said:

“I think the Xiao family is more likely. The Xiao family has the lineage of the Chu Princess Consort, which is considered the legitimate line of the Xiling King. They have a good chance. In addition, there is the royal family. Although the Xiao family is dependent on the royal family, the royal family definitely feels that it is more appropriate for Xiling to be in the hands of their own people.”

The royal family's territory is quite vast; the princes and nobles of the neighboring fiefdoms of Xiling are also members of the royal family.

“Rong’er, you overlooked something. The Xiao family can also be considered part of the royal family, and the Fifth Prince has Xiao family blood. Moreover, the Xiao family is planning to save the Fifth Prince. This is not appropriate. We must remove their royal family status. I still have to kill the Fifth Prince so that the royal family will keep an eye on the Xiao family!”

"The Xiao family plans to save the Fifth Prince?" Shangguan Rong was unaware of this.

Chu Mingkong heard this information from Consort Wan.

"Ah."

"Then you really need to get rid of the Fifth Prince and let the Xiao family share some of the royal family's attention. As for attending court, you'd better choose one of these two days."

"Row."

After finishing their business, Chu Ming, feeling bored, took out the cultivation manuals he had obtained from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

When I, Chu Mingkong, comprehend the mental cultivation method, have I ever encountered any difficulties? It is easier to bring a weapon to the realm of immortality than to ride my master. This little dual cultivation mental cultivation method is just a piece of cake.

—Filial Piety System, I want to spend money!

Chapter 90 You've Gone Mad from Practicing Kung Fu

Chu Mingkong spent five thousand of his ordinary filial piety gifts to buy a [Dual Cultivation Comprehension Talent]. He didn't feel anything else, but he was more amazed that he could now spend his filial piety gifts so lavishly!

Now, his distorted filial piety is easier to obtain than ordinary filial piety, seemingly because he's tied to an elder as a partner; what he gets are mostly distorted filial piety. If it weren't for the money he earned from those few encounters, he might not be able to afford this talent now.

After feeling sorry for him for three seconds, Chu Mingkong spent two rounds of ten-pulls on the corrupted filial piety card, hoping to get a few more "cows" (a type of in-game currency) to sell to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion so that Qingse could resell them to earn more filial piety points.

Unfortunately, it's true that you can't always get what you want. The previous streak of getting ten bulls in a row didn't repeat itself; I only got one white-quality bull.

"Rong'er, do you have any female elders in your family who need to use a jade dildo, like the horn dildo? I know a friend who specializes in selling these."

Click!

Shangguan Rong snapped the pen in her hand, and she looked at Chu Mingkong warily.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on my family!"
