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

Tonight, Maomao, the daughter, will sleep with Fengying again. However, Chu Mingkong was surprised to find that Shangguan Rong was also there!

Chu Mingkong looked at her in surprise and asked:

"Am I seeing things? Rong'er, you actually came here to sleep with Fengying?"

This makes it sound like she and Feng Ying are estranged... Well, Shangguan Rong herself has to admit that they aren't very familiar with each other. After all, they lack common topics and don't interact much.

It was still quite awkward to say such things in front of the Kazekage.

"The Wind Maiden isn't like some people who always like to sleep with other girls. I've never tried sleeping in the same bed with the Wind Maiden before, but tonight the Cat just shrank, so I came to check on her."

After hearing Rong'er's response, Chu Mingkong couldn't help but admire her sharp mind. Her idea of ​​using a change of concept to defuse the awkward situation was truly remarkable!

Chu Mingkong laughed at her for not being close to Feng Ying or having anything to talk about usually, but tonight she actually came to spend the night with her because of the cat. Shangguan Rong, on the other hand, shifted the deeper awkwardness of "not being familiar with each other" to the insignificant superficiality of "never having shared a bed with a girl before".

He also made a sarcastic remark about Chu Mingkong, who always finds a girl to sleep with whenever he spends the night.

Chu Mingkong, shameless as ever, pretended not to hear the sarcasm and feigned ignorance, saying, "Indeed, I've been saying the same thing about my master. Why does he always want to hug Daoist Yun when he sleeps? He's really a worry for us all, sigh..."

"..."

Shangguan Rong was impressed by his shamelessness.

Fengying stepped in to help change the subject, smiling and saying, "Go and reprimand Qiuchi when it's light. Don't just fire empty threats here; Qiuchi can't hear you, and you'll only wake up the cat."

Chu Mingkong then looked at the little girl sleeping between Feng Ying and Shangguan Rong. Perhaps because the cat had lived in that time gap for too long, her sleeping posture was a bit like a baby in amniotic fluid, with her limbs curled up and lying on her side.

She basically curls up into a little ball of flesh, and you can't even see her if you're not paying attention.

He touched the kitten's little face, but after she frowned, Shangguan Rong quickly slapped his hand away. Afraid that he would wake the little girl up, Shangguan Rong stared at Chu Mingkong with a stern face and wide eyes, telling him to leave quickly and not disturb the little girl's sleep.

Chu Mingkong felt both helpless and somewhat relieved.

This joy comes from my daughter, Maomao, and also from Rong'er.

If the cat only befriends Feng Ying in Xiling, it's actually quite troublesome. If Feng Ying has something to do one day, the cat won't have anyone to be close to. Having someone to accompany you and having a close person to accompany you are two different things.

Later, although Shangguan Rong had a good relationship with Yongzhen and Jinyu under Chu Mingkong's care, those two girls had their own mothers to be close to. If they went to accompany their mothers, Shangguan Rong would have no one to talk to, and she was not the kind of girl who would take the initiative to socialize.

It was based on this that Chu Mingkong was so surprised when he saw her as soon as he entered Fengying's place.

Now that he has discovered the arrival of the little cat girl, it's like breaking the ice and connecting Rong'er together, which makes Chu Mingkong quite happy.

"If you won't let me touch the cat, then let me hug you, Rong'er, okay? I'll run away after I hug you."

Faced with Chu Mingkong's gaze, Shangguan Rong hesitated. She didn't mind when they were alone, but now that Feng Ying was watching, she felt a little embarrassed.

Before she could respond, Chu Mingkong had already given her a bear hug. Shangguan Rong's delicate body stiffened slightly, and her ears turned red and hot in just a moment. Chu Mingkong's cheek was pressed against her small ear, and he could feel the heat.

After hugging Shangguan Rong, Chu Mingkong went to hug Feng Ying. Feng Ying was much more generous and took the initiative to stretch out and hug him before letting go.

She said with feigned disgust, "I'm done hugging you, hurry up and go, don't wake the cat up."

Chu Mingkong touched his daughter's face again before leaving.

The tent quieted down, and Shangguan Rong lay back in bed. She was a little worried that Feng Ying might be unhappy because she saw Chu Mingkong hug her first, but when she found that Feng Ying was just resting quietly with his eyes closed and did not show any other reaction, Shangguan Rong's uneasy heart calmed down a little.

......

Chu Mingkong walked out of the tent. Just as he entered, he was still thinking about whether to give the cat a sense of maternal love. He took out the Moon Eclipse Heavy Sword that he had brought from the Divine Kingdom and let the cat hug him to feel the mother's presence.

However, there's nothing we can do if Rong'er is also inside. We can't just ask either Fengying or Rong'er to move aside to make room for the cat to carry the heavy sword, can we?

I'll take this weapon out and show it off to the little girl another day.

Temporarily withdrawing his thoughts from his daughter, Chu Mingkong took out the note and glanced at the message. As expected, it was a message from his two mothers.

Seeing how much fun he had with his daughter at night, the two women now wanted to play with his son too, and they specifically asked him to come and work for them in the invitation.

As soon as he entered Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua's tent, he sensed the presence of a soundproof barrier.

However, this soundproof barrier is a bit unique; it's double-layered!

Then, Wan Hua stepped out of the tent first, took his arm, and walked towards the empty tent next door, which was intended for Chu Mingkong.

"Mingkong, let's go. Your mother will sleep in your tent. After you've been intimate with your mother, when it's time to sleep, can you shrink down so I can hold you?"

"It's possible, but..." Chu Mingkong wanted to say that she wasn't afraid Xiao Zhi would get angry if she hijacked the deal like this, but she kept those words to herself and changed her words to, "I thought Mother Consort wanted me to shrink completely, so why do you only hug me when we sleep?"

Wan Hua paused, a strange look on his face, and said with some difficulty, "The reason for this is hard to say, it's weird."

The reason why it's "hard to say" is, of course, that the cat really did shrink to a tiny size today. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but after holding that real little girl tonight, and then suddenly being close to Mingkong after she shrunk, I feel uneasy and guilty.

That's why Wan Hua said that after finishing her business, she would let Chu Mingkong hold her while she slept.

This mentality will probably only ease up after the cat turns back into a young lady next month, after which she can then comfortably engage in some overly intimate behavior with Xiaomingkong.

Just as Wan Hua was leading Chu Mingkong into the tent, Xiao Zhi burst out, angrily grabbing Chu Mingkong's arm and pulling him toward her.

Xiao Zhi scolded, "Wan Hua, you actually secretly set up a heavy soundproof barrier to prevent me from noticing Ming Kong's arrival, trying to sneak him away! Tonight, Ming Kong has already shown interest in getting close to me, so next time!"

Chapter Ten: Applying What You've Learned Immediately to Safeguard Mother

When Chu Mingkong first realized that there were two layers of soundproof barrier, he had a premonition that something was wrong, and sure enough, he was right!

Even if these soundproof barriers are stacked, their effectiveness won't double. The fact that they're arranged this way shows that the intention is to keep out different people in this small area.

Xiao Zhi set up this barrier to block out the outside world, but Wan Hua's barrier was directly designed to target Xiao Zhi, intending to intercept her.

If they successfully brought Chu Mingkong to the empty tent next door, it wouldn't be as simple as a soundproof barrier; it would be a complete encirclement, prohibiting outsiders (especially Xiao Zhi) from entering and disturbing him. The barrier wouldn't be touched until dawn. At that time, Xiao Zhi would have to prepare herself for a romantic time with Chu Mingkong, only to be left helplessly watching the barrier, intercepted by her sister Wan Hua, who would keep her out.

Seeing the two of them, Chu Mingkong silently deployed an even stronger and more reliable soundproof barrier to prevent their cultivation from being insufficient and allowing their master and the others to hear through the barrier.

"Why is it me next time? I made an appointment with Mingkong on the note. Now that Mingkong has come to find me, what's the problem?" Wan Hua's delicate body was soft and boneless, pressed against Chu Mingkong. It seemed like she was just floating against him, but there was a feeling of being tightly wrapped by a beautiful snake.

Xiao Zhi knew her advantages over Wan Hua; her full, plump breasts sank into Chu Mingkong's arm as she scolded:

"Of course there's a problem. I invited Mingkong here."

Faced with the gazes of his two beautiful mothers, each with their own unique charm, Chu Mingkong took a deep breath.

“You all… sent me notices to come over.”

Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua locked eyes, their gazes sharp and intense, neither willing to back down, making it seem as if their previous sisterly harmony was a sham.

Xiao Zhi took a break from their staring contest and replied to her son, "I know, so Mingkong, who did you see first? I had already written you a note while Wan Hua was still wandering around there, so you must have seen mine first!"

Wan Hua retorted, "You saw me lounging around? By then it was too late for you to write a note to Ming Kong. I only started lounging around happily after I finished sending the note to Ming Kong!"

This kind of bickering... Chu Mingkong inexplicably sensed the fun in the arguments of elementary school students. It was during those verbal battles that one of them would say, "My dad dares to eat shit," and the other would say, "My dad dares to fuck a cactus."

Just as Chu Mingkong was finding it amusing, both of his mothers turned their gazes to him, and he immediately stopped laughing, his expression gradually becoming serious.

According to these two people, they clearly want him to choose a priority, and then decisively put the other side aside. Saying who goes first or last will offend the other side, so it is absolutely not advisable to actually choose who goes first or last!

Moreover, judging from the serious attitude of Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua at this moment, it doesn't seem like a simple joke.

Could it be that they've been working together for so long that they've grown tired of each other?

As the saying goes, "things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes," and now they all want to seek some private time with their sons, rather than dragging their sisters along.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mingkong said:

"Ahem... Actually, when I sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations in the paper message, I was discussing serious matters with Daoist Yun and didn't check it immediately, so I can't tell who sent the message first."

The two were speechless for a while, but neither was willing to give up.

Xiao Zhi broke the silence first, her eyes flashing with the imposing aura of someone drawing a trump card, and said:

"Mingkong, you were just hinting that you wanted to come and keep me company tonight, weren't you? Otherwise, why would you have chosen this mansion?"

Wan Hua frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this mansion? It was just transferred to your name when the Xiao family left. The fact that it's registered under your name is an implication, isn't it?"

Xiao Zhi snorted: "Mingkong, tell her to make Wan Hua understand what you're thinking!"

Chu Mingkong chose this mansion not because of any implied meaning, but simply because the mansion has a large lake with a spacious lakeside area, suitable for a large group of people to camp there.

Now that he could no longer use Yun Nongyu as an excuse, Chu Mingkong took a deep breath.

Now, although the two mothers' quarrel over the child is not as explosive as when they first reconciled, it could still easily leave a rift and estrangement.

Even the best relationships can't withstand repeated reconciliations and arguments!

A silence fell between the mother and son. Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua were not impatient. Their beautiful eyes were fixed on Chu Mingkong, waiting for his response, and they did not mind his hesitation at this moment.

Chu Mingkong thought of the concept of "subtextuality" that Rong'er had just shown him, and thought to himself that he should learn to use it.

"My little pheasant, actually, I chose this mansion as the location for our camping gathering tonight without any hidden meaning. It's simply because the place is spacious and offers a clear view of the moon..."

"......What?"

Xiao Zhi was taken aback, not expecting Chu Mingkong to reply like that. Whether he had really implied something or not didn't matter. If he hadn't meant it from the beginning, and he was thinking of Xiao Zhi, he would have said that he had indeed implied something. The key point was that if he replied like this now, wouldn't it mean that he was going to challenge Wan Hua later?!

She couldn't accept it...

Before Wan Hua could even offer some words of comfort to her sister Xiao Zhi, Chu Mingkong interrupted with a heavily emphasized "but," cutting off the conversation.

"But—it's not that I didn't want to hint at it to Baby Zhi, it's just that I didn't dare to even have the thought of hinting. Do you know why?"

“…Mingkong, please speak.” Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, but still retained the patience to listen to the rest.

"Although I did reconcile with Zhi'er Baobao later and our relationship is better than before, it doesn't mean that the damage to your dignity that you were forced to 'exchange your body for medicine' on that night was fake!"

My dear, you may not care about that matter, but I can't be careless. What if you're just putting on a brave face and hiding your bitterness from back then? Speaking of hints, you might be thinking about the later reconciliation, but I'm still concerned about the blow that initial incident dealt you.

I want to cherish our relationship, so I absolutely wouldn't dare use this mansion as a hint!

The slight sternness and sadness that Xiao Zhi had just shown vanished. Although she accepted the fact that Ming Kong was indeed "not implying" something, she was even more satisfied and at ease with the truth that he "dared not imply"!

It turns out that Mingkong didn't use this place as a hint because he considered what happened back then a taboo, and because he valued it so much, he dared not act rashly. All he could think about was carefully protecting the relationship between my son and me...

When Chu Mingkong saw that Xiao Zhi's mother had calmed down and was no longer filled with the intense competitive spirit she had just displayed, the anxiety in his heart immediately subsided.

Although we've managed to appease Consort Xiao Zhi's mother, we still need to appease Consort Wan Hua's mother next!

Chapter Eleven: Contest

Neither of these women is easy to fool; it's extremely difficult to deceive them with ordinary sweet talk.

Unlike Xiao Zhi's side, Chu Mingkong and Wan Hua didn't have any discord. It could be said that the Fifth Prince was the one who pushed Wan Hua to side with Chu Mingkong. If we really want to dig up the past, we should see if he did anything wrong...
