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

At this moment, Master's wife Shen Xuejun said:

"Mingkong mentioned before that in the Moon Eclipse Kingdom, the Moon River Goddess mentioned that she received 'help' from a moon being when she was young."

I think that the being who is similar in status to Slaanesh, whom Mingkong just mentioned, is someone who has never lacked mysterious extraterrestrial visitors in this world.

After Yun Nongyu's brief encounter with that lecherous demon, what was her reaction?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunhan followed up on Shen Xuejun's words and asked, "Mingkong, you weren't affected by that being, were you?"

"No, no, it is I who am now being taken care of by the Abyss. Master Yun and I stayed in the Abyss for a while longer, hoping that the Yin energy would erase the remaining aura of that being."

"It went... alright, I guess."

Chu Mingkong originally wanted to see if his master's wife, Shen Xuejun, knew about that kind of existence, but when he found that she knew very little about it, he didn't let the topic continue.

If we continue this discussion, we might touch on what happens inside the cave!

The master's wife had already inquired about Yun Nongyu's condition, probably because she knew that any contact with Se Nie would have some impact, more or less.

Since she understands this, she will definitely delve deeper into the solution. Chu Mingkong is not sure if the power of extreme Yin is convincing enough as an explanation.

This is where the daughters come in.

Chu Mingkong slapped his forehead and said, "It's already this late, who was supposed to take you out to play today? Master's wife, I'll take the little girls out to find our elders first."

He quickly got up from the encirclement, picked up the girls, and prepared to leave.

Xiao Yunhan suddenly called out to him:

“Mingkong, I’ll go with you and we can discuss cultivation matters along the way.”

Chu Mingkong clearly sensed that when Yun Han mentioned the word "cultivation," his master's wife, Shen Xuejun, instantly fixed her gaze on him.

It was a feeling of being constantly on edge...

He swallowed hard.

what happened?

Why is Master's wife reacting so strongly to the word "cultivation"?

Could it be that I misunderstood, and she was actually unhappy that he took the two little girls away?

"Master's wife, shall I bring Maomao and Jiao'er over later?" Chu Mingkong asked tentatively.

"Yes, but don't interfere with the little girl's time with her elders."

Shen Xuejun responded calmly, her expression unreadable, but the invisible pressure Chu Mingkong felt did not lessen in the slightest.

Despite his confusion, Chu Mingkong braced himself and left the room with his sister, Xiao Yunhan.

Seeing her younger brother carrying two little babies, Xiao Yunhan thought it was too greedy and immediately took one of the cats from his arms and hugged it.

Chu Mingkong walked a few steps away before asking in a low voice:

"Yunhan, did you feel anything just now?"

"What? You mean that Slaanesh?" Xiao Yunhan replied, her eyes fixed on the kitten. She and the kitten stared at each other, as if they were competing to see who could hold their eyes the longest.

Chu Mingkong was speechless for a moment, then looked back in the direction of his master's wife with a puzzled expression.

So that means that the invisible pressure just now was only directed at him, and Yunhan didn't feel it at all.

"Yunhan, why did you just talk about our cultivation right here in the room? Aren't you afraid your master's wife will come after you?"

"Don't worry."

As they were talking, Xiao Yunhan outlasted the little cat. The girl couldn't hold back her blinking any longer, and only then did she turn her cold and reserved beautiful eyes to look at Chu Mingkong.

Although she still looked a bit cold, her gaze always carried a hint of gentleness when she looked at Chu Mingkong.

Such a calm expression gave Chu Mingkong a sense of peace.

Yunhan probably already knew how to explain it to his master's wife, right?

“Why shouldn’t you worry?” he asked.

“I have told Master everything about our joint cultivation.”

"...?"

Chu Mingkong felt a sudden sense of suffocation, the words were on his mind but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

He finally understood what that oppressive feeling was all about!

Master's wife, Shen Xuejun, actually had a strange possessiveness towards him. It seemed like she came to visit the little girl, but Chu Mingkong felt that she might also be there to check on his injuries... Thinking like that was a bit narcissistic.

Just now, Xiao Yunhan said "cultivation" in front of her, which is equivalent to saying to her face, "Mingkong, let's go discuss the matter of sex."

This is not good!

Xiao Yunhan explained, "That can't be hidden. I've activated my divine soul cultivation, so I can't hide it from my master's eyes. She'll know as soon as she sees it."

Besides, you're injured and suffering quite a bit from it; I'm determined to heal you no matter what."

A warm feeling flowed through Chu Mingkong's heart.

Yunhan, this older sister, is cold, but also warm.

As for his master's wife... Chu Mingkong sighed inwardly, hoping that turning into a child or something else might calm her down.

Hmm? My teacher's wife's emotional fluctuations...

A question flashed through Chu Mingkong's mind, and he secretly glanced at Yun Han out of the corner of his eye.

That's not right. Although Yunhan doesn't care about worldly opinions, she wouldn't bring it up in front of Shen Xuejun, who already knows the inside story of "cultivation."

Yunhan simply didn't care about so many opinions, but she wasn't without common sense. She wouldn't casually mention terms like "dual cultivation" in front of others, so why did she just...?

It seemed like he was deliberately mentioning it in front of Shen Xuejun, almost as if he were showing off.

Could it be that Yunhan knows something about his affair with his master's wife?!

This is bad.

This is just a hypothetical scenario, but if things really come to this point, he truly wouldn't know what to do.

Ahead, his younger sister Qingning's greeting interrupted his uneasy thoughts:

"Brother, Sister Yunhan! And Maomao and Jiao'er, where are you all planning to go?"

Chu Mingkong temporarily put that terrifying thought out of his mind, and a smile appeared on his face:

“Yunhan and her master have come to the manor. They’ve been sleeping with the cat and the girl for most of the day. Now let’s take them out for some fresh air and see who’s willing to accompany the little girls for a stroll.”

"I've come. There's nothing to do in the clan, so I've come to take them to visit the elders in the mansion for some fun."

Wei Qingning volunteered, so Chu Mingkong handed her the baby to hold first.

In recent days, Qingning and the Wei family have been of great help. The arrival of the Wei family has filled the manpower gaps in Xiling in various aspects.

It's certainly good to have sect disciples come to help, but these sect cultivators also come with the purpose of cultivation, so there's a high turnover rate. Ultimately, we need a more stable workforce.

Chu Mingkong said, "Qingning, don't be too busy with those things. Stay here and rest for now, play with Maomao and the others... I'll come and chat with you later."

Hearing Chu Mingkong say he would come to find her, the girl felt a sense of anticipation, and the joy in her heart turned into a smile on her lips.

Chapter 203 Yunhan Silver Bottle Water Spout

The immense pressure from his master's wife in the manor put Chu Mingkong under tremendous stress, making him hesitant to act or speak rashly. He chose to take Yunhan for a stroll in the suburbs.

They arrived at the place where Chu Mingkong and his mother, Consort Xiao Zhi, had looked at lanterns on the mountain path earlier. It was a secluded and deserted place with beautiful and unique scenery.

The transition from winter to spring on the Xiling land can be clearly seen from this high vantage point, offering a panoramic view of the scenery.

After visiting once with his mother, he brought his sister here again. There was no special reason for this; he simply had a deep impression of the place and, not knowing where else to go, he wandered over here with Xiao Yunhan.

Having traveled so far, Chu Mingkong hadn't forgotten his original intention in leaving the city. He asked:

"Yunhan, you just said in the room that you wanted to discuss cultivation with me... what was your idea?"

Bringing this up suddenly in the room felt like it carried some kind of provocative intent, and Chu Mingkong just wanted to clarify that.

Xiao Yunhan didn't have any particular reaction:

"What are you thinking... I've almost finished refining the demonic thoughts you gave me. If I don't cultivate, I'll stop progressing in a few days. That's why I'm discussing cultivation with you in advance."

"Mingkong, since you have time to wander around and waste, let's skip the hassle of discussing and scheduling a cultivation session. Let's cultivate together now."

What on earth is this all about...?

"Pfft~" Chu Mingkong laughed.

Xiao Yunhan frowned, a look of confusion appearing on her cool and elegant face: "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Mingkong looked into his sister Xiao Yunhan's beautiful eyes as if he were looking at a beautiful and captivating iceberg; her expression was calm, cold, and serious.

"I find this feeling strange. I remember when I was little, my master would take me to brothels to watch the dancers perform. You always warned me not to touch the women there and get too absorbed in it. Now you're urging me to do something similar to you."

“These are different,” Xiao Yunhan corrected.

"What's different?" Chu Mingkong asked in return.

"This is cultivation, but more importantly, it's to stabilize your injuries," the older sister said succinctly, as if emphasizing that this matter had nothing to do with romance.

Even though the method inevitably involves the union of male and female yin and yang, this is only the surface. The real purpose is to heal illnesses and injuries, as well as cultivate the spirit and soul.

To be honest, Chu Mingkong was quite unhappy with this statement, and he asked:

"Which purpose is more important, cultivation or healing?"

Xiao Yunhan answered this strange question calmly:

"When your soul was tormented by the extreme yang injury, healing you was the most important thing, cultivation was not important. Now that your injury has stabilized for the time being, cultivation is more important. If it relapses, then healing will become important again."

Well, this is something that can only be said in a calm state of mind, considering the actual situation, without much emotional influence.

Or rather, this is a typical straight woman's response.

But Chu Mingkong was clearly not satisfied with this; this relationship could not be limited to cultivation alone.
