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

Wan Hua was immediately stunned when a milky scent splashed onto her face...

This isn't something that only happens when you're pregnant, is it? How many months along must I be?!

"You... Zhi'er, you secretly fathered Mingkong's child behind my back?!" Wan Hua exclaimed in shock, his astonishment turning into anger.

This pheasant has really stooped to such a low level, engaging in malicious competition, hasn't it!

"What do you mean I kept it from you? Do I need your approval, Wan Hua, to cover for Mingkong? Humph!"

Xiao Zhi gave her signature "cold smile," but because she was so pleased with herself, the corners of her mouth turned up a little higher, showing a touch of playfulness.

"Wanhua, don't be angry. I'll have the baby call you godmother, so you'll be like half a mother to the baby~"

This infuriated Wan Hua. How could she be so rude and mocking? He grabbed Xiao Zhi's big white dumpling and smacked her face repeatedly.

When Chu Mingkong entered, he was greeted by a scene of beautiful mothers hurting each other.

Wan Hua snatched Xiao Zhi's heavy hand and launched a face-spitting attack. Xiao Zhi reclaimed her own little piece of land, moving around while simultaneously spitting Wan Hua's hand.

Xiao Zhi felt completely at ease, because her biggest concerns had all been resolved: the issue of being honest with her daughter, the issue of Pei Mi vying for favor, and the potential risks posed by the old King of Chu. She felt light-hearted.

Chu Mingkong looked like a child splashing milk... or having a water fight, which was quite absurd.

I've never seen anything like this before!

"My dear mothers, may I ask what you are doing?" Chu Mingkong walked over and pulled the two beautiful and elegant noblewomen aside to sit down, while also helping Zhi'er pull up her bellyband.

Wan Hua was so angry that he couldn't speak. For a woman to be able to produce "juice" was not something that could be done overnight; it would take several months!

This means that he was kept in the dark by Mingkong and Xiao Zhi for several months!

Seeing Wan Hua's mother's mood, Chu Mingkong first hugged her and comforted her.

"Just kidding~" Xiao Zhi temporarily toned down her boastful attitude, a situation she had only recently discovered today.

That's why he lost his composure and came directly to share his joy with Wan Hua.

"Mingkong, I heard from Jinyu that you often take her to Gu Jungui's place to supplement her nutrition, right? From now on, she can supplement her nutrition here with Mother Consort. Let's try it first!"

Wan Hua stopped him, saying, "Ming Kong has important business to discuss. Let him speak first!"

Chapter 257 Royal Ladies' Team Building

To be honest, Chu Mingkong came with a heavy heart and a cautious mindset, but after being tricked by Zhi'er, he is now unsure whether to be serious or laugh.

Reluctantly adjusting his complicated feelings, he ultimately followed his nature and showed a heartfelt smile to the two mothers and babies.

There's never too much time to laugh, especially when you're with family and friends. You can confide your troubles to them, but don't just vent your negative energy; try to be happy as much as possible.

"Let's put business aside for a few minutes. What's going on, Zhi'er baby?..." Chu Mingkong had only just learned about this matter, and wondered if it was a bit too early.

"I got some medicine from Master Yun a few days ago. She knows medicine, so I asked her if she knew of any medicine that could stimulate succulent production in cats. She gave me two doses. At first, there was no effect after two days, but today it suddenly worked!"

Looking for Yun Nongyu...

Yun Nongyu probably saw through her belly at a glance, but just pretended not to know and didn't say it. It's just unknown how long the baby will stay in this state.

“Speaking of which, it’s about time the kitten was ‘changed’, right? What if she becomes a big kitten? Then you, my little pheasant, will just have to keep growing every day. I’ve seen Aunt Gu sometimes say that she feels uncomfortable from the swelling.” Chu Mingkong suddenly remembered his daughter.

Sitting in his son's lap, Wan Hua tapped his nose in an annoyed tone:

"How can you be such a father? The kitten changed a few days ago, and this time it's grown bigger, but it's only a few months bigger, and it still needs to nurse for another month."

Chu Mingkong slapped his forehead, thinking that it was the right time. He had gone to pick up the "express packages" delivered from afar by Zhongtong, Yuantong, and Shentong, and had exploded their treasures. The round trip had taken a lot of time.

For a cultivator, if they close their eyes and meditate, several days can pass in the blink of an eye.

I really forgot about the return date for the cat.

"I was worried that the cat would get smaller and smaller and eventually go back into Yuehe's belly. It's good that it has only grown a few months bigger now." Thinking about it this way, the cat really won't have to worry about food. It can also change its taste, and Aunt Gu and Baby Zhi'er won't have to worry about getting bloated.

Wan Hua still snorted somewhat dejectedly, his eyes fixed unfriendly on Xiao Zhi's increasingly plump breasts:

“Even if the kitten grows into a big cat, Mingkong doesn’t need to worry. Anyway, Zhi’er can nurse herself with just a slight droop of her neck. Let her grow slowly on her own. She can even skip several meals.”

Xiao Zhi wasn't angry at all; in fact, she almost laughed.

"That's true~ If you really can't finish it, you can share a couple of bites with Wanhua, don't be jealous~"

Chu Mingkong wondered if Jin Yu would come over to ask Xiao Zhi for something to eat later, and then go back to put pressure on Mi'er, stirring up conflict between mother and daughter.

Wan Hua bit her red lips with her silver teeth, still angry, and asked Ming Kong:

"Mingkong, when did Zhi'er get pregnant? Why did you keep it from me for so long?"

Chu Mingkong recalled that it was indeed a bit difficult. Zhi'er was a key person who frequently went to his establishment, and the frequency was quite high in any given time period. Sometimes it was like a light afternoon nap, while other times it was like a late-night revelry, emphasizing unrestrained enjoyment.

"If I had to say, it would be during the time we went to the East Sea that Zhi'er came to the Fairy Treasure Pavilion once."

Wan Hua also recalled that Xiao Zhi would often take a jade pendant around and test it after returning from the East Sea, which was probably an attempt to test the baby she was pregnant with!

“I remember now, it was during that time when Zhi’er secretly ran up to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, followed her to the East Sea, and then dumped the affairs of the City Lord’s Pavilion on me for about a month, right?” Wan Hua looked at Xiao Zhi with a forced smile.

Xiao Zhi felt a little guilty under the watchful gaze, but she didn't regret it. If she could do it all over again, she would definitely run away again.

"Mingkong, ignore her and come over to taste your mother's 'heart's intentions'. Stop just hugging Wanhua!"

Wan Hua gave a soft snort, and her words immediately pierced Xiao Zhi's heart:

"Zhi'er, once your belly gets big and you can't be so affectionate with Mingkong anymore, do you think I should drag Yunhan along to cultivate together? After each cultivation session, I'll share it with you~"

"You still want to seduce my daughter Yunhan, don't you? Let's see if Yunhan will even pay attention to you!"

In the past, Chu Mingkong thought that Yun Han might not have paid much attention to his mother, Wan Hua, even though Wan Hua was actually Xiao Zhi's sister, that is, Yun Han's aunt. Yun Han's attitude would not have changed much.

But now that Yunhan is watching over his cultivation every day, if Wanhua really suggests that the three of them cultivate together, Yunhan might not mind at all...

Then it will be Zhi'er's turn to be driven crazy by Wan Hua.

Chu Mingkong figured they'd had enough of chatting and that if they kept going, they'd start fighting. So he quickly pulled his two elegant and noble mothers into his arms and lay down with them on either side.

He interrupted, "Alright, alright, let me get down to business now, shall we?"

Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, the anxious atmosphere between the two mothers dissipated somewhat. Instead of letting their tempers run wild, they focused their attention on their son's problem.

Xiao Zhi's warm, soft hand grasped Chu Mingkong's large hand that was wrapped around her slender waist, guiding him to feel her heart, which was unusually moist and full today, and she asked seriously:

"Speak, what's the important matter?"

"Regarding the trip to the Abyss, do you still remember the first time I took you there, my little pheasant...?"

Wan Hua answered first, somewhat using her position for personal gain. Her pretty face rested on Chu Mingkong's shoulder as she looked at Xiao Zhi on the other side and teased:

"I know, it was that time when Zhi'er was jostled along on horseback all the way into the Abyss and Mingkong hung her around his waist, right?"

Xiao Zhi's face turned pale for a moment, but she decided not to argue with her for the time being and to listen to what her son had to say first:

"I remember, what does this have to do with your important business, Mingkong?"

"You can't say there's no connection..."

Chu Mingkong briefly mentioned Qing Ning's situation, as well as the necessity and predicament of leading her into the depths of the Abyss.

"So, I wanted to use the experience from when Zhi'er was there to build up a more durable extreme yang shield and bring Qingning in to 'purify' her."

To be honest, I came in hoping to see if baby pheasant could come with me again...

"Mingkong, you're getting addicted to this, aren't you... I've already experienced this twice." Xiao Zhi didn't want to recall these two experiences.

What's even harder for her to accept is that this shameful and heartbreaking experience has gradually become something she's "indifferent to"!

This doesn't mean I don't mind anymore, or that I've fallen in love with it. Initially, I felt that even if no one saw it, just thinking about it in my mind was unbearable. But now I feel that since no one sees it anyway, it doesn't matter if I do it again.

Just like her coquettish tone at that moment, it didn't really mean she was refusing. If Chu Mingkong really wanted to do it, Xiao Zhi wouldn't actually refuse; at most...

It's just a symbolic tug, to make it seem like you're forced into it, helpless, forced into it, or have no other choice.

Wan Hua changed his previous teasing attitude towards Xiao Zhi and Nuo Yu, and said seriously:

"Although Zhi'er only managed to produce some juice by borrowing a prescription, she should focus on rest and recuperation during this period. It would be better if she didn't run around like that."

Chu Mingkong nodded: "That's right, that's what I was thinking too. Before I came in, I was thinking about Qingning's condition. But when I saw the two mothers playing around with each other, I realized that we really can't let Zhi'er's mother run around anymore."

Xiao Zhi stopped joking around; it was serious business after all. She considered it and said:

"Then, how about letting Wan Hua go? She's been practicing those extreme yang techniques a lot lately, and she's made quite a bit of progress, no worse than when I was... hanging there."

“If Mingkong really needs this, I don’t mind.” Wan Hua nodded, agreeing in advance.

The relationship between these two babies' mothers has really changed like turning the pages of a book.

Chu Mingkong couldn't quite tell whether they were seriously discussing something or secretly stirring things up, waiting to mock each other later.

"If Consort Wanhua is willing, that would be wonderful. However, the place I need to go to right now is the depths of the Abyss, not the outer areas, which makes things a bit difficult..."

Wan Hua was quick-witted. At first, she didn't quite understand Chu Mingkong's words, but after thinking about it for a while, she understood his implied meaning.

Bringing people into the depths of the Abyss is extremely difficult. Even if Zhi'er wasn't pregnant, it would still be very difficult for her to get in. Mingkong came here to bring both of them in so they could take turns and reduce the pressure, but now there's one person missing.

Xiao Zhi blinked, taking a moment to understand what was going on. It turned out that it required two people, or even more than two.

This predicament is hardly a predicament. There are many women in Qingxin Mansion with extreme Yang cultivation. Those women helped him heal the extreme abyss injury to his heart back then, so he can just call them over now.

In fact, a considerable number of the maids and servants in Qingxin Mansion also possessed extremely high yang cultivation, were beautiful and well-proportioned, and were all virgins. It's just that Chu Mingkong never touched those women much.

"Mingkong, since we're not here, why don't you try inviting Pei Mi and Madam Zhen along? It would be a good opportunity for those of them from royal families to network..."

Chu Mingkong felt bitter. This kind of communication was truly unheard of, purely embarrassing for each other. Could Pei Mi and Madam Zhen, with their thin skin, handle such a situation?

Perhaps calling her Yongzhen, Jinyu, or Rong'er would be more appropriate? But that's not a good solution either.

Jin Yu is mostly fine, but Yong Zhen and Rong Er are both strong-willed girls.

Ideally, if you're going to bring one of the elders from a group, it's best to bring only the elders. Most of them currently wouldn't accept doing that kind of thing with younger people.

Wan Hua also thought Xiao Zhi's idea was good:

“Pei Mi and Madam Zhen are indeed more suitable. They both have the constitution of the Golden Crow Phoenix and have cultivated suitable extreme yang techniques. Ming Kong cannot take so many people with him at once. Being greedy will only hinder the operation. It is better to start with the optimal plan.”

"...In that case, I think I'll go ask Pei Mi first."

Xiao Zhi advised her son, "First, let Jin Yu go and convey a message to see what Pei Mi thinks. As a woman myself, I know that if Ming Kong speaks to her face, she will be in a difficult position. Let Pei Mi think about it privately!"
