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

Wei Qingning's emotions shifted quickly. She was very sensible. When she thought about her mother and the situation of her clan, she put her own affairs second and didn't think it was worth being too sentimental at the moment.

The longer she lingers in melancholy and turmoil, the longer her mother and the clan elders have to "wander" outside.

She immediately used a note to inquire about the whereabouts of her brother, Chu Mingkong, sometimes wanting to talk.

As expected, Chu Mingkong has recently become quite fond of the new girl. He is currently at the residence where the girl is being housed, but he makes no attempt to conceal it and directly asks her to come to the residence to see him.

Chu Mingkong received a message from his younger sister, Wei Qingning, and prepared some fruit platters to entertain her. At the same time, he secretly thought that his own rhythm was really messed up. He was so focused on properly handling his daughter's matter that everything else was out of order.

"Should I leave?" Yue Hexi's eyes sparkled like stars as she stared at the fruit platter, as if she wanted to "leave" the platter with her.

Chu Mingkong smiled, feeling that the girl was feeling stifled in that so-called time gap. Many things that he took for granted were viewed with a sense of novelty by her.

"No need, you can just sit here. The person who's coming later is like your older sister, a little older than you. Just eat as much fruit as you want, I can prepare more."

"If I get older after the full moon, will this older sister become my younger sister?" The cat girl had already started eating.

Chu Mingkong was stunned by her words. This was a blind spot in his thinking that he had overlooked; he had been so focused on considering the matter from his own perspective that he had been preoccupied with it...

He himself can only transform back into his childhood form or return to his current normal size, but Yuehexi can transform into a little girl or even a mature woman like her mother.

If she really becomes a mature woman by then, how will we account for this? How will we introduce her to the other women...?

Hello everyone, this is my daughter, who is about seven or eight years older than me.

"Let's take the day we officially met as our birthdate, how about that?"

"Okay~" The girl was talking when she was soured by the fruit and her face scrunched up. But after the sourness passed, she looked at the fruit on the plate with curiosity.

Looking at her little expressions and reactions, Chu Mingkong smiled but felt more heartache, as if watching a blind girl who had suddenly gained three days of sight and was now looking at all the ordinary things in the world with curiosity and enthusiasm.

After these thoughts, Chu Mingkong's eagerness to "lick" his daughter and become familiar with her calmed down considerably, and he began to want to know more about this girl:

"Kitty, what does the crack in time look like? Can you see the past and the future?"

The girl shook her head: "My mother warned me that if one day I suddenly found myself inside and could see things, I shouldn't look around. I tried to peek, but I couldn't see anything, it was all blurry, I was basically just sleeping."

That's quite the cultivation path; they seem to have no concept of time and just fell asleep...

"Now that we're out here, there aren't so many restrictions. You can go wherever you want to play from now on, and if you can't find me, you can come to me, Fengying's mother."

Chu Mingkong was like a strange uncle trying to trick a little girl into revealing information. He chatted with the cat for a short while before Wei Qingning came looking for him.

Wei Qingning is coquettish and very dependent on Chu Mingkong, but in daily life she is straightforward and decisive, with a bit of a heroic spirit.

She strode in and saw the girl next to Chu Mingkong, whose mouth was full of juice. She was on high alert and held her breath.

"Qingning, what's wrong with you? Why are you putting on airs like this when you meet a young girl?" Chu Mingkong walked over and pulled Wei Qingning to sit down next to him. "Let me introduce you. This girl's full name is Yue Hexi, and her nickname is Maomao, which I gave her. She's my daughter."

"Huh? My daughter?"

Wei Qingning had previously worked for the Nightblade Division, and had naturally witnessed some elderly high-ranking officials having a peculiar "affection" for young girls, feeling that the girls' youth could give them a share of their lifespan, and especially liking to address each other as father and daughter.

My brother has only been away for a month or two, where did such a big daughter come from? Could it be...?

Unsure, let's observe further!

Chu Mingkong could understand Qing Ning's surprise:

"Well, the situation is a bit special. She'll be officially introduced to you around tomorrow night, no, the day after tomorrow morning. She's not very old, but her body can change size... Let's not talk about her now, let's talk about your Wei family."

Although Wei Qingning was still completely confused and full of doubts, she took another look at the exceptionally beautiful and noble girl. The way she ate the fruit really did resemble a child holding a fruit and eating it, which was quite different from the impression she gave off.

...But why is her brother's daughter older than her? How can she be so chubby at such a young age? Did she secretly stuff a steamed bun into her belly?!

However, since Chu Mingkong had brought up the matter of her Wei family, Wei Qingning would no longer focus her attention on this young girl.

“You just mentioned the Wei family in the note. Coincidentally, I ran into Uncle Wei a few days ago when I went to the capital to ‘collect debts’.”

"What? You ran into my father in the palace?" Wei Qingning was startled, not expecting to suddenly hear news of her missing father.

"Yes, the situation is rather complicated..."

Chu Mingkong recounted to Wei Qingning the appearance of Uncle Wei and the conversation he had with Uncle Wei after dealing with the "resurrection" of the King of Xiling on the emperor's body.

Honestly, Chu Mingkong wasn't sure if Uncle Wei's words after he started associating with the King of Xiling would contain hypothetical traps or try to gain sympathy. However, what Uncle Wei said at the time didn't have a clear deceptive intent, so even if it was a lie, it didn't matter. Chu Mingkong hadn't suffered any loss, as he had originally planned to let him go this time.

His statement actually suited Chu Mingkong's wishes quite well. If Uncle Wei really was plotting something big with the King of Xiling, putting Chu Mingkong in danger... it would be Wei Qingning who would feel bad if the truth were revealed.

She was caught in the middle, neither able to move forward nor backward, and might even feel ashamed to stay by his side any longer.

"That's roughly the situation. My adoptive father, the King of Xiling, has completely turned against me. However, Uncle Wei only joined forces with the King of Xiling to pay the price for the use of power by our ancestors. But he didn't involve you or the Wei family."

He had no choice but to ask me to take good care of you and the Wei family, so Qingning, you don't need to worry too much. Let the Wei family move back to Xiling. I don't want to, and you don't want to see your mother and the Wei family wandering around aimlessly, do you?"

Wei Qingning received a lot of information at once, so she nodded for the time being:

“I told my mother about it using a note.”

“Alright, now that Emperor Tianji has just died, we don’t know how the situation outside will change. Even if your aunt has some hesitation, you should tell her: if she can’t make up her mind, she should go back to Xiling for the time being, observe and wait for the storm outside to pass before making a decision.”

"Um......"

Chu Mingkong held Qingning's delicate body in his arms. After she felt better, he took her to meet the cat and stroll around.

And night.

Feng Ying said he would come to take care of his adopted daughter, and told Chu Mingkong to go have fun and think about how to explain Yue Hexi's existence to the women.

Chu Mingkong was still wondering what this little girl had to explain when he received Jin Yu's note on his way back to Qingxin Mansion.

"Does Jinyu have some kind of intuition, knowing immediately that I'm available?"

Jin Yu: Chu Lang, come find me, let's play some games~

Chapter Four: Jin Yuyu

Since Jin Yu was being addressed so formally, Chu Mingkong was curious to see what tricks this girl was up to this time.

Back in the Crescent Kingdom, Jin Yu had given him a taste of his own medicine. He was indeed quite eloquent, and sometimes his words were so surprising that even Chu Mingkong might not be able to keep up.

Chu Mingkong really hoped that Jin Yu could allocate some of her verbal strength to actual combat.

After returning to Qingxin Mansion, Chu Mingkong still activated the Nirvana Domain, lest he encounter one of his daughters on the road who would ask him to deliver grain, leaving him in a difficult position and hard to explain.

It's quite difficult to get them together, because Jin Yu is basically tied to Pei Mi now, and Pei Mi wouldn't want any other girls involved.

Upon arriving at the courtyard of the Empress and her daughter, Chu Mingkong did not make a sound immediately. Instead, he quietly approached the door to listen and find out what game Jin Yu had prepared.

in the room.

Jin Yu turned around in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her palace dress with satisfaction. Thinking about meeting her lover soon, her pretty face beamed with a smile.

"Mother, do you think this dress is pretty? It was ordered a few days ago when the Princess of Chu accompanied me to the silk shop!"

In the past, their clothes would more or less feature royal symbols in places like belts and hems, integrated into the patterns and embellishments of the garments themselves. While those clothes were certainly beautiful, they are somewhat out of place now, and these days there has been a gradual "wardrobe update."

Pei Mi ignored her daughter's words. She knew exactly what Jin Yu was planning to do tonight, and as her mother, she was furious.

"Tonight, you and Mingkong should go somewhere else to play that game."

Jin Yu stopped twirling in front of the mirror and sat on the bed, linking arms with her mother. Her fair, snow-white arms wrapped around Pei Mi's arms, squeezing the plump breasts of the beautiful woman until they were deformed.

"How could a daughter mistreat her mother? Wouldn't that be treating her like an outsider?"

"I'm about to lose my mind because of you, girl. I can let what happened before go, but why are you planning to pull this stunt now?"

"What's going on here? Daytime is daytime, and nighttime is nighttime. At night, when we're in bed, we're all family. It's tiring to keep up the airs from the daytime. This kind of intimate fun should be enjoyed as it comes, Mother. You don't need to take it so seriously~"

Chu Mingkong listened outside the room for a long time and heard Jin Yu and Pei Mi struggling over something, but Pei Mi refused to give in. After listening carefully for a while but not being able to make out what was going on, he simply went into the room.

He only released the Annihilation Domain after he reached Jin Yu and covered her eyes: "Guess who I am?"

Upon hearing Chu Mingkong's voice, Jin Yu couldn't help but smile. Only when she was about to answer did she lower the corners of her mouth and pretend not to know.

"I don't know, I need to check and confirm before I can answer who it is."

Chu Mingkong covered her eyes, and her slender hand reached out to Chu Mingkong's other parts, like a doctor taking a pulse, carefully examining him. However, while a skilled doctor would feel the pulse, Jin Yu was directly feeling his lifeline.

Jin Yu, with her eyes covered, said in a serious tone:

"Sir, you've accumulated too much heat, it's excessive and your internal heat is too strong, it's burning hot, and your meridians and blood vessels are bulging. I need to prescribe a formula to help you clear out this heat."

Pei Mi, who was standing to the side, was surprised to see Chu Mingkong appear. Actually, she was already used to it, as she had done so in the palace before. However, when she thought of the "game" that Jin Yu had mentioned, she was too ashamed to look at him. With nowhere to stay, she pulled up the quilt to cover her head and pretended that she knew nothing.

Chu Mingkong had been wondering why Pei Mi's reaction was so strong. Now, after joking around with Jin Yu for a while, he let go of her eyes, sat down by the bed, and embraced her delicate body.

As Jin Yu's soft, voluptuous body was embraced, one felt an overwhelming fragrance emanating from her. Gazing at her smooth, delicate skin and the exquisite collarbones on her plump mounds, one couldn't help but want to bury one's face in her and kiss her.

"Why did you rush to invite me over to play games in the note? What kind of games do you want to play? It's not the 'pulse taking' we just talked about, is it?"

"No, there's another explanation!" Jin Yu's small hands still wouldn't let go of Chu Mingkong's manhood, her stance determined to capture him and not let him escape tonight. As she spoke, her lips, like cherries, were red and full, yet delicate and beautiful, and her words carried a subtle fragrance.

However, while she was sizing up Chu Mingkong, Chu Mingkong was also watching her. He sensed that besides her long-lost excitement, Jin Yu was also harboring a hint of doubt and observation towards him. Unlike her usual attentive reactions, Jin Yu's observation carried a probing intent.

"Hmm, what's the story behind this game? Show it to me."

"How about I call Chu Lang 'Father' when we're intimate tonight?"

"..."

The room fell into a deathly silence in an instant. The silence was so profound that Chu Mingkong thought he had accidentally activated the Annihilation Domain. Meanwhile, Pei Mi, who was pretending to be asleep with her head covered by the blanket, buried her head even deeper into the silence.

Jin Yu seemed puzzled by Chu Mingkong's silence and blankness, and even stole a few glances at him to see his "true reaction".

After a long silence upon seeing her lover, the beautiful woman blinked her lovely eyes and softly asked, "Does my lover like you?"

This isn't a matter of liking or disliking; to be honest, Chu Mingkong's blood pressure just spiked.

Considering Pei Mi's reaction, he realized that she was determined to drag things out with Jin Yu for so long without giving in.

Although that emperor was indeed quite inhuman, in order to strengthen himself, he first tried to transplant the Golden Crow Phoenix Body into Jinyu, and later went down a dead end, even digging up the corpses of his own flesh and blood sons to use as clones.

But you know, their seven-day mourning period hasn't even passed yet...

Chu Mingkong was afraid that if Jin Yu kept shouting tonight, the emperor would come back from the underworld to haunt him and fight him to the death.

"Let's play..." Jin Yu's high, soft breasts were still proudly pressed against his chest, but her small mouth gradually pursed up, as if she was uneasily begging him to play.

Chu Mingkong wasn't so oblivious as to Jin Yu's inner turmoil; he tightened his embrace and asked with concern:

"What's wrong with Jinyu? Why are you suddenly like this? Just tell me what's troubling you. There's no need to hide it from me. Is it because of your father?"

When you keep your worries to yourself, you don't feel anything, but if someone asks you about them, the sadness and heartache are unstoppable, like a flood bursting its banks.
