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

But the faster the travel speed, the more difficult it is for Wanhua!

As he sped along, Chu Mingkong had to make big moves to dodge the ferocious beasts from the abyss that attacked him from time to time. Each time he made a big move, it was as if he had rushed from the exit of Peach Blossom Spring into the end of the stream in one breath.

Her mind was thrown into disarray during the dodging.

The ease and enjoyment she had shown on horseback were completely gone. She was so disheveled that she couldn't hold onto Chu Mingkong. Her hands barely touched his shoulders, and her body was practically hanging on Chu Mingkong's manhood.

Chu Mingkong knew this would happen. At that time, Zhi'er had already fainted and was only maintaining the Extreme Yang Shield by her body's subconscious instincts. Wan Hua's willpower seemed to be much stronger than Zhi'er's.

The result was that she was dizzy but couldn't get over it. While awake, she had to endure the constant mental onslaught, and it was she who suffered the most.

Fortunately, the maintenance of the Extreme Yang Shield was not affected. In the state of Chu Mingkong's cultivation, it could also help control the Extreme Yang Shield to a certain extent.

Finally, Chu Mingkong arrived at the depths of the Abyss at top speed, but unfortunately...

A confused, trembling moan of endurance suddenly emanated from within the Extreme Yang Shield, followed by the sound of someone spilling water.

A continuous flow, yet also a gentle drizzle...

It's like a release after a long period of forbearance.

In the midst of silence, a gentle, fragrant aroma of wildflowers wafted through the air.

The Dust-Free Talisman can conceal a person's shadow, but it cannot hide the traces of water being spilled.

Wan Hua finally gave up and fell into a coma, unwilling to face the heavy reality of her death.

Chu Mingkong: "..."

Qingning looked bewildered and horrified.

Σ(⊙▽⊙" ？！

Although Pei Mi and Madam Zhen were not directly involved, they could already sense the despair and dared not utter a sound.

Chapter 267 This Extreme Yang Shield Will Scream!

When Pei Mi first heard about Xiao Zhi's "tragic" experience, even though she didn't say a single word of mockery to Nuo Yu, she must have laughed at her in her heart. After all, that was how things were back then, and it's only natural that one can't be a saint in everything.

Even now, despite being gloated over by Wan Hua's horse-riding incident, Pei Mi couldn't muster any sarcastic thoughts; instead, she felt a sense of dread, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.

Wanhua has been exposed!

Even though Chu Mingkong had made extensive preparations to cover for her, Wan Hua still couldn't hold on to her willpower and let out a sound...

Although Wan Hua and Qing Ning had no relation whatsoever, due to Chu Mingkong's connections, Wan Hua was treated as an elder, like an aunt or mother, when Qing Ning occasionally visited Qingxin Mansion.

Even disregarding the familial connection brought by Chu Mingkong, Qing Ning had always treated these imperial concubines, empresses, and empress dowagers with the same respect when she was a member of the Nightblade Guard. And now, she was being treated with such deference in front of her...

Such an embarrassing side of him!

Madam Zhen and Pei Mi could hardly imagine what their future held. They never imagined that Xiao Zhi, despite having similar experiences, would be the one who fared the best!

Even if Wei Qingning couldn't immediately discern the exact sound of the water, he could still sense something from the scent.

"Brother, that sound of water just now...did the gourd containing wine spill?" Qingning asked tactfully, her gaze secretly fixed on the unseen direction—

That was the spot where Consort Wan was hung and fixed in place. Although the dust-free talisman prevented her from seeing her true face, the sound of water was just too clear...

It's still flowing now.

Even if you can't see them, can't you see the "drink" you spew out?

Chu Mingkong took a deep breath, wondering what Wan Hua Bao Bao would think after waking up; he'd probably crack open.

Now, there seems to be no need to hide it anymore; it would be too self-deceptive. Even though Chu Mingkong felt he had calculated everything perfectly, he was still one step off, and Qing Ning discovered him at the edge of the Abyss.

There's really no way to deal with this watery situation...

"Ahem, Qingning, would you like to hear the truth?" Chu Mingkong's tone was subtle. He had just imagined what it would be like for Wan Hua to wake up in his mind, and he had been infected by that sense of despair.

What could Qingning say?

Her small face was filled with shock and confusion, and the paleness caused by the burden of the "price" made her look like she had discovered some earth-shattering secret and was afraid of being silenced.

"Brother, is it better for me to listen or not to listen...?"

See, this is how people show fear of being silenced.

Pei Mi couldn't stand it anymore. In order to be able to walk with her head held high in Qingxin Mansion in the future, she removed the Dust-Free Talisman herself, walked to Qing Ning's side, and looked at the girl with a serious and helpless expression.

"Qingning".

Qingning felt a little scared under Pei Mi's gaze, and she subconsciously addressed him:

"Your Majesty, what is it?"

"Let me explain the situation to you. You should know that ordinary cultivators cannot move around easily in the Abyss, right?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Qingning nodded quickly, her head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

"Therefore, you need the Extreme Yang Shield to protect you as you move through the Extreme Abyss, and even deep into its heart. It was in this state that Mingkong found you and wanted to escort you into the depths of the Extreme Abyss to find a solution to the 'price' you were paying."

"But we alone are not enough. In order to maintain the Extreme Yang Shield for longer, we must constantly maintain... our cultivation with your brother. You understand the meaning of 'cultivation,' right?"

Qingning naturally knew this. She asked Jinyu about it, and Jinyu readily admitted it was "cultivation." She also kept asking Chu Mingkong for milk, and after he rescued her in the capital, their relationship naturally improved.

Qingning once considered using cultivation as a starting point to bring about a qualitative change in their sibling relationship. Unfortunately, Chu Mingkong was currently focused on his heart injury, so even if she cultivated the Extreme Yang Technique, she felt she would be rejected.

"Yes, yes, I know..." Under the pressure of Empress Pei's imposing presence, Qingning leaned back slightly.

"So that's why we heard the sound of water just now. What do you call Wanhua?" Pei Mi suddenly asked.

"Call me Auntie."

"Your Aunt Wan fainted under these circumstances and even appeared in such an ugly state, but she still maintained this Extreme Yang Shield to protect you from harm in the Extreme Abyss. She made a great sacrifice."

Originally, this kind of thing should have been done by Jin Yu and the others, but their Yang power was too weak, so Ming Kong had no choice but to come to us, saying that he wanted to send you to the depths of the Abyss to try it out no matter what.

Therefore, this can be considered as a sacrifice made for you, Qingning. This matter should not be told to outsiders. After your Aunt Wan wakes up, you should not look at her with strange eyes.

In this abyss, her body endured considerable pressure!

After saying that, Pei Mi added in her mind: After waking up, she was also under a lot of psychological pressure.

She's speaking up for Wanhua now not out of pity for Wanhua's current situation, but more out of consideration for her own future.

Who could have predicted that they might also experience such a "drenched in rain" while losing consciousness?

Madam Zhen also came over and echoed:

"Yes, Aunt Wan has had a tough time, so please don't spread this around."

"Yes, yes, yes, Qingning definitely won't say anything nonsense!"

Pei Mi and the others couldn't be sure what Qing Ning was really thinking, but this was all they could do.

The problem now is that it's time to replace him...

Pei Mi and Madam Zhen looked at each other, debating who should be the second one.

Chu Mingkong didn't want to interfere, so he did what he could at the moment, such as taking out his own belongings and tidying them up for Wan Hua.

Qingning, who was standing to the side, was aware of her presence, which made the two elders, who were still conscious, very embarrassed and awkward. She could only turn her gaze toward her brother.

Then she saw her brother's magnificent member, as if it had broken free from some disguise and been swallowed up, or as if it had been drawn from an invisible scabbard, slowly revealing itself inch by inch, and bringing with it the delicate fragrance of a mature woman's flower buds.

Wan Hua let out a small, mournful "Hmm~".

Upon hearing this voice, the young girl Wei Qingning blushed slightly, her breathing became erratic, and her heart fluttered as she recalled the scene of her efforts to help her brother lose his elixir.

Can such a fierce-looking thing really be stored away completely...?

Relying on his senses, Chu Mingkong helped Wan Hua straighten her clothes, but since he also needed to support her with one hand, the tidying wasn't very meticulous. To onlookers, the process looked like a silent monologue.

After Wan Hua removed the Dust-Free Talisman, her delicate body became as soft as mud after a spring rain, as if boneless, and she could no longer muster any strength to support herself.

Qingning volunteered, "Brother, I... I'll help support Aunt Wan."

That's fine. Chu Mingkong didn't say anything and temporarily entrusted Wan Hua to Qing Ning's care.

As for Pei Mi and Madam Zhen, they had probably already discussed it, and Pei Mi would go first.

It wasn't that I was impatient or anything; it was simply that my mindset had completely given up. I was thinking of passing out as soon as possible to get it over with, choosing to deceive myself instead of staying conscious and enduring the subtle emotions until the very end.

Looking at the voluptuous and sexy woman with an elegant and graceful demeanor, Qingning activated the Dustless Talisman with a slightly uneasy expression. Her beautiful figure immediately disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Then, Chu Mingkong seemed to be holding something in the air, his hands cradling something beautiful and succulent. His fingers were embedded in the soft disguise, some of them disappearing into the air. This unstable state actually indicated that the spiritual power of the Dustless Talisman was running low; otherwise, under normal circumstances, the Dustless Talisman's visual concealment and disguise would be perfect.

Immediately, Qingning saw his brother's domineering member again, which was gradually concealed by the invisible disguise until it was completely covered, and then he acted as if nothing had happened.

However, the surrounding extreme yang shield changed, becoming more condensed and dazzling with golden light, as if a golden flame had been ignited in the dark and boundless extreme abyss.

The shield is adorned with phoenixes gracefully in flight, and one can faintly hear their mournful cries echoing from the abyss...

"Ah... Chu Mingkong... Don't take it all at once... You, you come out a little... lift me up a bit...!"

Qingning can testify that it was indeed the voice of the phoenix inside the Extreme Yang Shield, because she didn't see anyone speaking at all; it could only be from the shield.

Chu Mingkong held the plump, juicy peach in both hands and said casually to Qing Ning and Madam Zhen beside him:

"Alright, let's go... Pei Mi, you should also be careful, the pressure you'll be under later will be much greater than it is now."

Pei Mi heard it, but was too ashamed to speak up.

It was at this moment that Chu Mingkong and the others, having lingered in the same spot for too long, were discovered by the passing Abyss Beasts.

The roar came from behind, and the heat of the flames spewed from the beast's mouth drew closer. Chu Mingkong had no time to carefully support Pei Mi. He grabbed Madam Zhen and Qing Ning with his left and right hands and strode into the edge of the deep abyss.

As Chu Mingkong ran and dodged, there were also smooth, slippery sounds.

The pressure of the Yin energy deep within the abyss collided with Chu Mingkong, stimulating Pei Mi's body and mind almost simultaneously. In order to endure it, she had to bite Chu Mingkong's collar, her toes curling up into a ball.

The Extreme Sun Shield was teetering on the brink of collapse, flickering incessantly, but fortunately it managed to hold on.

Turning back, the deformed abyssal beast that had just entered the depths of the abyss also burst into flames, but it could not withstand the extreme yin energy there and exploded.

The girl looked at Chu Mingkong, and then, as if she were looking at the hidden Empress, she asked:

"Brother, what should we do now?"

"Let's check your condition here first. Don't go too far into the depths of the abyss, or it'll be a laughing stock if you can't get out in time."
