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

The two sisters stood beside their wardrobes, looking somewhat distracted. They would take turns picking out items, then put them back and choose something else.

His mind wasn't on the wardrobe at all.

Xiao Zhi found it increasingly strange:

"Wan Hua, do you think this is normal? Before, Ming Kong brought back a woman, but now he's brought back a snake..."

"What you're saying is ridiculous. Even though they are snakes, they are not the kind of snakes sold in the market that can be slaughtered at will. It's better to treat them like human beings. If Mingkong hears you saying this, be careful he might have something to say about it."

And you'd better get your perspective straight; that person was brought out of the Abyss by Mingkong, a true powerhouse. Be careful not to offend him!

Wan Hua reminded him, then sighed.

You said if Chu Mingkong brought back someone like Pei Mi, at least... she's still a human being.

The communication was relatively easy, but the main problem is that Bai Niang still can't transform into human form.

Xiao Zhi recalled everything, especially the intimate scene between Bai Niang and Chu Mingkong; that attitude couldn't be faked. She said:

"Wan Hua, did you see Ming Kong and Bai Niang being intimate? Something seems off!"

Wan Hua felt the same way, and she nodded.

"That's true to some extent. It's just a feeling. If Mingkong had brought back a person, it would have been fine, but this one is in the form of a snake, yet she's still so affectionate with her."

But I feel that if we just speculate like this, we might easily misunderstand. The White Snake is probably a good person... no, a good snake.

It seems that both Qingning and Yongzhen benefited from her care.

Xiao Zhi nodded upon hearing this.

In fact, when Wan Hua mentioned "Qing Ning and Yong Zhen", Xiao Zhi had already figured out what that strange feeling was!

Yes, it's Qingning and Yongzhen!

Normally speaking, Xiao Zhi is Ming Kong's mother, which is equivalent to Yong Zhen's mother-in-law!

But now, Bai Niang is treating Ming Kong like her own son, and she's so close to her daughters-in-law that it's as if she, Bai Niang, is Ming Kong's mother!

Even if Gu Jun Gui were to come, and Ming Kong treated Gu Jun Gui with such care and attention, she still wouldn't be able to give Xiao Zhi that strange pressure.

This is an attempt to usurp someone else's place!

"But... after all, it's a snake's body, and it can't transform into human form. Even if it's close, it can't be as intimate with Mingkong as we are, right?" Xiao Zhi felt that she still had a great advantage, but she lacked confidence.

Mingkong is truly capable of doing outrageous things. He really does whatever he wants, and he'll show off as long as he sets his sights on someone!

Wan Hua closed the wardrobe, bringing her thoughts back to reality. She took a breath and cleared her mind.

"Alright, that's enough. We've been thinking about this for a while now. It's time to go take a bath at Qinghua Pool."

Xiao Zhi sighed, composed herself, and nodded in agreement:

"Alright... If all else fails, just ask Mingkong directly what's going on. We're already in this kind of relationship, there's nothing we can't ask directly. As for the White Snake..."

Just treat him as someone like Sect Leader Shen.

The two men, carrying their robes, walked towards Qinghua Pond.

On their way to Qinghua Pool, they happened to run into Gu Jungui and her group. Xiao Zhi got along very well with Gu Jungui over the matter of "exchanging experiences as a pregnant woman".

Xiao Zhi greeted him, "Jun Gui, I've been waiting for that dawdling Wan Hua for far too long. Why are you so late too?"

Gu Jungui forced a smile, but he had more unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

Zhong Feihuang and Keqing chatted in her room for a while, and Gu Jungui didn't dare to change his clothes in front of them, otherwise he would expose his already "bloated" belly.

Besides using caring for her cats as an excuse to reduce outings and avoid meeting people, she also chooses dresses that are as form-fitting as possible in an attempt to maintain her previous figure.

The conversation that Keqing and the others were having was similar to that of Xiao Zhi and the others. Wasn't it about Bai Niang?

After all, he had brought back a snake expert who had not yet taken human form, which surprised the two wives from the capital. Although the capital was known as the most prosperous city in the former Tianji Empire, people from other races were really rare there.

Occasionally seeing cultivators with their personal spirit pets is one of the few ways they come into contact with other intelligent beings.

"Wasn't Jinyu with you?"

Xiao Zhi looked at Gu Jungui, while Gu Jungui looked at Pei Mi.

Pei Mi, who hadn't said much, shrugged her fair and smooth shoulders and said:

"Who knows? She left much earlier than me; she's probably already soaking in Qinghua Pool."

Madam Zhen nodded in affirmation:

“Yes, Yongzhen told me that she saw Jinyu leave early and went with her first.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere among the women was pleasant. Even those who didn't get along wouldn't cause any trouble. They could simply relax and enjoy their bath without disturbing the mood.

However, as they entered the inner hall, before they could even change their clothes, they heard commotion in the Qinghua Pond, and it seemed as if Jinyu was also crying out in anger and sorrow.

Although Pei Mi was often so angry at her daughter Jin Yu that she felt like she had a high blood pressure, she still cared about her a lot. She didn't even care that she had taken off half of her clothes and went out to see what was going on.

Then he saw Jin Yu being surrounded and teased by two Yong Zhen in a corner, and he immediately burst out laughing.

All worries vanished, and a smile blossomed on her dignified and elegant mature face.

Pei Mi rarely saw this lively girl being so agitated, so as her mother, she naturally came to her aid from all sides.

She walked over and touched the even plumper, softer dumplings from inside her clothes, joining forces with Yongzhen to surround Zijinyu.

Pei Mi's previous medication hadn't worn off yet when Jin Yu immediately gave her a "refill," and with Chu Mingkong, who loves to nibble, busy with Qing Ning's affairs, there was no one to relieve her stress, leaving her feeling very suffocated.

At that moment, all the sweet nectar that had been pent up in her chest was released onto Jinyu.

Jin Yu could barely open her eyes, crying out in agony, feeling both angry and helpless:

"Mi'er, you're kicking me when I'm down! Be careful, you won't have any good days ahead of you... Ah, there are too many to count."

With so many people around, Chu Mingkong dared not continue to tease Rong'er. He secretly walked out with Rong'er and maliciously reached out to play tricks on Rong'er's precious child.

"Sister Rong'er, we have no grudges against each other, why are you helping Yongzhen...!"

Shangguan Rong looked embarrassed and wanted to complain about Chu Mingkong's recklessness, but with more and more people gathering, she couldn't expose Mingkong and didn't know what his idea was.

She could only offer a weak explanation:

"No...no, it's because I didn't feed the babies today, and I got a little 'satisfied,' and just now it...I didn't mean to."

Chapter 342 Yongzhen, your tongue is shameless!

However, Jin Yu's appalling treatment did not last long. As the group, having undressed, gradually entered Qinghua Pond, it was no longer appropriate to continue.

It doesn't matter whether Jin Yu loses face or not, the key is that she herself is also a little embarrassed, especially Pei Mi. She can just tease her a few times to vent her anger, but she can't really get involved with this silly girl.

Having previously teamed up to deal with Jin Yu, Yong Zhen and Pei Mi had grown much closer. After ending their "torture" of Jin Yu, they went back to the pool to take a bath.

Although Jin Yu did not suffer much physical damage, she was severely traumatized.

Although she knew she was slightly in the wrong, since she had spoken first to Yongzhen a few days ago, she was definitely grumbling to herself, especially with four girls surrounding her and cornering her.

The more I think about it, the more humiliated I feel.

Jin Yu, who had been acting arrogantly for quite some time, couldn't bear this humiliation any longer. She bit her rosy lips:

"Where is Chu Lang? Didn't he come over earlier with the babies?"

She's looking for a man to back her up.

Although Shangguan Rong is a very intelligent girl, she is also very straightforward and not good at lying or hiding her true feelings. When she heard Jin Yu mention Chu Mingkong, her body stiffened slightly because she knew where Chu Mingkong was.

Jin Yu didn't ask Shangguan Rong or Jin Yu. The two of them entered Qinghua Pool together. Jin Yu herself didn't know, so how could they know?

Jin Yu took out the note, seeking comfort from her husband.

Jin Yu: Chu Lang, where are you? Yong Zhen has turned into a monster, and she's torturing and abusing me!

Chu Mingkong didn't have the note with him, but that didn't stop him from walking behind Jin Yu and craning his neck to peek at what Jin Yu had written on the note.

This girl is quite good at using eye drops!

Chu Mingkong almost burst out laughing just thinking about what had just happened.

At this point, the previously installed partition comes into play.

Chu Mingkong quickly slipped to the other side of the partition, pretending that he had been there the whole time.

He shouted:

"Jinyu, what do you want? What happened between you two? Did you have a fight? I was just resting with my eyes closed!"

Jin Yu was good at leveraging situations. Normally, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go directly to Chu Mingkong like this. Even if everyone acknowledged her relationship with Chu Mingkong and knew the truth, it would still seem a bit strange to just run over there like that.

But she had just suffered such an injustice; if it weren't for the fact that it was springtime, wouldn't it have been like a frost in June?

Regardless of whether she felt more anger or resentment, Jin Yu immediately put on a charming face and said with tears welling up in her eyes:

"Yongzhen conspired with my sister Mi'er to bully me..."

Complaining about one's grievances is not the goal, but merely a process and means. The real purpose is to legitimately go to his place.

Jin Yu was too lazy to even look for her bath towel. She hugged her plump, soft body to keep it from swinging around, and then ran quickly and hurriedly towards Chu Mingkong.

But Yongzhen didn't care about Jinyu's feelings at all. Jinyu was clearly trying to take advantage of Chu Mingkong and get back at him for the loss she suffered from her.

“I’ll go too.”

"What are you doing following along? What business is it of yours? Or are you worried that Mingkong will find out about your snake demon nature?" Jinyu didn't want Yongzhen to get involved.

"You said I bullied you, I'm going to go to Mingkong and explain."

"No need for explanation. The witnesses and evidence are all here, and your crime has been proven!" Jin Yu stared at her with her beautiful eyes.

She pointed to her face. Although Yongzhen's "face cream" was barely visible, unlike the thick and rich "face cream" that Mingkong sprayed on her, Yongzhen's scent was still there!

"It's alright. Mingkong definitely wants to know what happened. I'll go with you and reenact it."

"..." Jin Yu didn't want to talk to her anymore. Anyway, she couldn't stop her, so she ran over to Chu Mingkong first.

Shangguan Rong didn't want to get involved, but most of her peers had gone to Chu Mingkong's side, and the remaining group were mostly elders. She felt a little awkward being alone among them.

"I...I'll go and uphold justice." Shangguan Rong's insincerity was obvious as she quickly followed Jin Yu and the others.

However, in the short time she had gotten used to the burning heat Chu Mingkong left her, she was thinking about Jin Yu and the others and forgot about this matter.
