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

So what Shangguan Rong meant was that she had shamefully taken his "antidote," and Chu Mingkong also had to serve her, shamefully taking a portion of the "antidote" from her and eating it himself.

Seeing Chu Mingkong's stunned expression, Shangguan Rong guessed that he was definitely unconvinced, and suddenly felt a sense of relief. She then coldly "coerced" him:

"If you don't eat it, you can forget about getting my virginity, you lecher!"

eat!

Eat now!

Ugh, all the girls I know seem to like me making them lick my penis when I'm hard. It's so frustrating...

Outside, the atmosphere was festive, and inside, the feeling of spring was palpable.

Shangguan Rong's emotions rose and fell with her slender waist as she pinned the lecherous man who had taken advantage of her while she was unconscious down and taught him a lesson.

She suddenly felt that the joy in the house also belonged to her.

For the first time in so many days, it belonged to her.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Breaking Through the Barrier!

Shangguan Rong was so exhausted that she fell into a deep sleep, but this might also be because she hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep in the past few days.

The proud young lady who had initially been riding on Chu Mingkong's back quickly succumbed to the onslaught of the loud, rain-like strings, collapsing into Chu Mingkong's arms. She remained there until the dual cultivation ended, then nestled against him and fell into a deep sleep.

To be honest, even with the previous "medicine-feeding" encounter, Chu Mingkong never imagined that the girl he would have a relationship with would be his "ex-girlfriend".

It's somewhat unbelievable.

What she didn't expect was that when he said, "Come to my palace next time for the antidote, wear a skirt," his intention was to embarrass her and tell her not to keep coming to his palace to see him, as it would be considered inappropriate.

As it turned out, she really did come to take his antidote wearing a dress, and it was the red bridal dress she wore when she married the Crown Prince.

It was so outrageous that it completely exceeded Chu Mingkong's expectations!

"Should this count as the completion of dual cultivation?" Chu Mingkong muttered to himself, not saying it aloud for fear of waking Shangguan Rong.

She rarely gets a proper rest, and on top of that, he had just thoroughly exhausted her, to the point that she kept begging for mercy.

Chu Mingkong couldn't bear to disturb him.

He looked down at his heart, which was still in that same abyssal, dreadful state. Putting aside the danger to his life, he was still a somewhat quirky and handsome young man.

However, he noticed that the fine, purple blood vessels extending from around his heart had turned a pale gold color in one of them.

"This... this really left the power of extreme yang in my body?" Chu Mingkong said in surprise.

Shangguan Rong, nestled in his arms, let out a soft "hmm?" but did not wake up.

Thankfully, it didn't wake me up...

It's truly unbelievable that this sliver of extreme sunlight still managed to penetrate his most severely injured area—his heart—without causing any backlash!

Chu Mingkong communicated with the Silver Thief System in his mind: "Does this count as a successful dual cultivation?"

[Of course it's calculated; the golden blood streak at the heart is proof. But you've noticed that this golden streak is quite dim. In half a month, it will be swallowed up again by your Abyss Wound.]

"Huh? You can do that? What do we do then?"

This golden thread represents the extreme yang energy remaining in your body. However, Shangguan Rong's extreme yang technique has not yet reached its peak, so the extreme yang energy that can be fed back to you is relatively shallow.

You can strengthen your foundation by engaging in dual cultivation with her several times before the golden thread is devoured, or the effectiveness of dual cultivation can be enhanced if her cultivation progresses.

...So it's not true that you succeed if you only do dual cultivation once?

No wonder this "True Scripture" says that one should not damage one's primordial yin. It turns out that one must practice repeatedly, otherwise one cannot practice anymore!

He withdrew his hand from Shangguan Rong's chest and sat up to confirm her virginity mark.

The virginity mark can be seen as the best proof that the primordial yin energy still exists. At least before today, Chu Mingkong had never heard of a way to forge a real virginity mark.

However, the first thing that catches the eye is that striking red "virgin blood".

It was a bit abrupt, all in such a rush that I didn't even prepare a piece of white silk for Shangguan Rong...

(P.S.: This white silk cloth is not the kind used for hanging. In ancient times, wealthy families would place a white cloth on the wedding night of their daughters to collect their bloodstains as one of the proofs of their virginity.)

However, it seems that the preparations were useless, as she came up first and her collecting posture was incorrect.

Okay, let's put that aside for now. Chu Mingkong confirmed that her virginity mark was still there, but it was hiding a trace of extremely yin energy.

He gathered a wisp of spiritual energy in his palm and stroked it onto her virginity mark. The hidden, extremely yin energy was drawn out, and the true appearance of the virginity mark was revealed.

A dark purple dragon coils above the pattern of the virginity mark!

"This should mean that she also absorbed a wisp of extremely yin energy for her own use."

Chu Mingkong confirmed his master's condition; the green word "good" had turned orange-yellow and was even leaning towards red.

This must mean the condition is worsening, right?

Chu Mingkong wasn't the type to run away right after having sex with someone, but the current situation didn't allow him to delay or explain.

Finally, after spending some time wiping Shangguan Rong's body and putting on her bodice and underpants, Chu Mingkong quietly left the room.

As soon as he stepped outside, his gentle movements from Shangguan Rong's boudoir vanished, and his gait and expression revealed his deep anxiety.

Zuo Qiuchi's condition changed too quickly. He had been in "good" condition for a long time, but in the blink of an eye when he went out, he was "minorly injured"!

What's going on? How could she be pushed to this point so quickly?!

He rushed out of the city and keenly noticed that there were more patrol teams in the capital, the city gates were heavily guarded, and a squad of Nightblade Guards was heading towards his palace.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

"Are there enough people for three teams at the East Gate? If not, call more people immediately!"

"Boss, what are we patrolling?"

"Don't ask, just stop anyone trying to leave the city. The order is that there are fugitives trying to escape, so the city will be sealed off for the time it takes for six incense sticks to burn."

“My master just got into trouble, and the city has been heavily fortified. They’re probably here to intercept me.”

Knowing full well that I couldn't step out of the barrier, they still stubbornly tried to keep me in the capital and not let me leave. Quite ruthless.

Six incense sticks' worth of time is roughly three hours. Are they confident they can defeat my master in that time?!

Unfortunately, these people couldn't track him down—just as Chu Mingkong was thinking this, a divine sense swept across his body.

"Huh? They've come to intercept me? How can someone sense my presence?"

Chu Mingkong went back to conduct a counter-surveillance, his senses spreading out and taking in the surrounding situation. He immediately spotted Wei Qingning, the female Nightblade Guard on the city wall.

The girl looked in Chu Mingkong's direction, neither following nor stopping him.

Her gaze met Chu Mingkong's, and she took out a witchcraft dagger and stabbed it in his direction.

Witchcraft is good at cursing, but Chu Mingkong was very confident in his Abyss Injury, and no curse could harm his life, so he was unprepared.

The curse entered his body, and he discovered that it was actually a curse that amplified his speed!

What does this girl mean? Is she here to help me?

There wasn't time to ask clearly.

The barrier was already in front of him. He didn't know if he could get through it smoothly, but he had to do it even if he couldn't!

Chu Mingkong took out a long halberd, and flames clung to it, leaving a trail of black flames in the sky. He then leaped up and smashed it down towards the barrier.

The expected obstacle did not appear. He could feel that the barrier was still there, but this time he passed right through it!

Because of the extra wisp of extreme yang power within his body, the barrier failed to stop him!

Perhaps it was because he had developed some mysterious connection with Shangguan Rong after the dual cultivation, but he suddenly felt a sense of palpitation.

This feeling came from the direction of Shangguan Mansion.

Chu Mingkong tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve, bit his finger and wrote a few words on it. Then he took out the giant bow, drew the bowstring, and shot the cloth-covered book towards the direction of the Shangguan Mansion.

He took one last deep look at that place, then left without lingering and headed towards the ancient Buddhist temple.

End-of-month reflections, Happy Lunar New Year's Eve

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, everyone!

Unfortunately, there won't be an extra update today. (Relatives came to visit, and the kids were watching, so I was too embarrassed to write. You know what I mean.)

The book will be available on the 5th of next month, so I need to save 2 words of manuscript, but I'm still far from that.

The pace slowed down again in the chapters following Shangguan Rong, lasting about two or three chapters. I usually added extra chapters during these times.

However, I'm currently short on drafts, so I'm giving you all a heads-up that the plot will be relatively light these next couple of days.

Choosing to release it on the 5th was simply a sign of my youth and recklessness.

Because my book's release date clashed with many big names, it didn't get a major recommendation; it only received a small, lackluster recommendation in a corner.

Therefore, on the day of the release, only those of you currently available will be with me, and there may even be fewer.

Whether there will be another chance to get a major recommendation depends on the first month's subscription data next month. So I hope that those of you who are able will support me and give me your support. I will also give you the rules for extra chapters at that time. I can only grit my teeth and give it my all.

I can only rely on everyone else. If the data isn't good, I doubt this book will ever get a recommendation again.

Upon reflection, I think the book's shortcomings lie primarily in its failure to grasp the current popular styles on websites.

During the winter campaign, the books that performed relatively well all had the following settings: (protagonist is the villain + rebirth + the female lead knows the script but doesn't follow it and pursues the villainous male lead).

And—the first two chapters will definitely feature a scene with a female lead, or every female lead's entrance will inevitably begin with her being sexually assaulted.

I really didn't expect this, because if I wrote the opening like this when I published my book before, I wouldn't even get approved for the new book release. I don't know why it's okay to do this now.

You might not believe it, but in previous chapters I was criticized with comments like, "Here we go again, just skirting the line, another male lead with epilepsy, I'm disgusted."

I was puzzled at the time, thinking, "This is only borderline?" Then I glanced at the top-performing books on the new release charts—"How can it start like this???"

Thus, the style of this book completely changed from the part about Jinyu. Not long after Jinyu appeared, Xiaoju was forcibly taken, and Rong'er's ex-girlfriend ate the male lead's mushroom. After that, she also had to bloom along with Jinyu.

...And then more people will suffer. Given the circumstances, what can I do? I'm giving up. I'm not going to pretend anymore.

Secondly, my writing style and the female protagonist's style tend to be more mature (the matureness of a mature woman). (My mature woman fetish was exposed a bit too early; it should have been kept hidden for a while.)
