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

This sense of pride in the glory of one's ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation along with the ancestral tablets, and everyone has thought about restoring the glory of their ancestors.

Especially now that the tradition of witchcraft is declining, this sense of "rarity equals nobility" is more or less buried deep in the hearts of the people.

"People used to say that abandoning the main lineage of witchcraft was like cutting off one's own flesh, but as they cut off their own descendants, they've gone too far!"

Keeping these books is merely allowing that dying but not dead thought to continue its lingering existence. Our ancestors relinquished so much that only the Soul-Binding Technique remained; now, it seems...

They could either follow the example of the bride's family and return to a completely ordinary life, focusing on business, or they could abandon witchcraft altogether and settle down to study contemporary magic.

Ever since the old patriarch and his ilk began to scheme against their own descendants, the clan's traditions have become strange; they seem to have been completely tarnished and should never be touched again.

There are many elders in the Wei clan, and it's not something the two of them can decide on their own. However, after hearing what his old friend had to say, and looking at the ancestral traditions, Wei Satu felt somewhat weary.

"Alright, that brat Wei Zhong won't have a chance to speak anymore. We'll apologize to the clan's wife and Qing Ning in person when we have the chance later. Let's completely abolish the inheritance and gather everyone together to discuss it."

......

After Elder Jiu dealt with the unexpected situation, he said to Yun Nongyu:

"Xiaoyun, the Wei family of Xiaoqingning said they want to donate their entire collection of ancient books to the Daoist sect. They'll keep them if needed, and destroy them if not. What do you mean?"

Yun Nongyu looked up and sighed:

"At that time, the lineage of witchcraft was becoming increasingly rare, and the once prominent Wei family, after cutting off one of its own arms, has continued for so long, but in the end, it has decided to go into seclusion."

Elder Jiu understood Yun Nongyu's feelings. It was like a craft that had been passed down for a long time, but one day the tradition was cut off and it gradually disappeared without a trace, leaving no memory of the past.

"This might not be a bad thing for the Wei family~ Xiaoyun, you've just been looking at the stars in the sky too much, and every now and then a few familiar ones disappear, that's why you feel this way. You should be celebrating."

So many families with traditions of witchcraft in the past, after experiencing similar fates, all chose to disappear into obscurity. The Wei family should have done the same long ago.

"Don't make it sound like they deserved it. The Taoist sect can at least be considered a lineage of witchcraft."

......

Chu Mingkong felt somewhat saddened when he learned of the Wei family's decision.

The Wei family's current choice is to start living a simple life like Li Lu's maternal family. However, the young people with some talent will still cultivate, but they will no longer be so demanding or require every future member of the clan to know some cultivation methods.

This is a pretty good ending.

Chu Mingkong's attention returned to himself, and he murmured:

"I've accumulated quite a bit again recently, and I feel like the female bodhisattva is about to arrest me and send me to the Wuxiang Heaven. Should I go see my master's wife to detoxify myself...?"

Chu Mingkong examined his own heart. In the past few days, while observing the Wei family's attitude, he had spent a lot of time pondering the inheritance of the snake egg, just thinking about increasing his hand to deal with the Goddess Bodhisattva.

Solve it once and for all, don't play games with her. Why is she suddenly thinking about having her master's wife detox now?

Constantly troubling the master's wife to help resolve the issue is tantamount to avoiding the problem and being afraid to face the goddess/bodhisattva directly, isn't it?

Detox a few more times...that seems like a good idea!

With a sigh, Chu Mingkong started thinking about this and that again. He couldn't help it; Bai Niang and his master's wife kept popping into his head...

"How can Bai Niang transform into human form? It's urgent!"

Just as he was lost in thought, Chu Mingkong's thoughts were pulled back by the babies' babbling. It seemed that the little girls were complaining because he, the irresponsible father, had been frequently distracted and hadn't properly bathed them.

Chu Mingkong quickly responded:

"Alright, alright, stop spacing out. It's all your master's fault for getting you covered in milk. I'll wash you clean right away, especially the kitten."

"We're exchanging the goods tomorrow, so let's wash them thoroughly early. If they get too big all at once, they'll be too tough to use for 'clay pot rice.' Let's wash them until they're white and tender first."

Chapter 364 My daughter has been replaced, can I return her?

After giving the babies a bath, Chu Mingkong didn't let them rest at Aunt Gugu and Fengying's place.

A few days ago, after the children were fed so much by the women in the mansion that they developed a slight psychological aversion to them, they are now at their least clingy with those elders. In other words, they are at their most clingy with him, Chu!

Why not take advantage of this time to get closer to my daughters?

Chu Mingkong led the babies to Master's darling.

After recently comprehending the method of snake transformation, Zuo Qiuchi did not spend too much time figuring out how to extend snake transformation to his combat power. Instead, he spent a lot of time figuring out how to sleep in the most comfortable position.

What are you doing here?

Upon seeing the traitorous disciple approaching with two infants, the large python on the bed stared at him with hostile eyes, a look of disdain that could be roughly summarized as follows:

Don't bother me while I'm sleeping!

"Why is it another giant python? Can't it just turn back into its original form...?"

Upon seeing that his daughter had no buttocks, Chu Mingkong's good mood instantly vanished by half. He could only relieve his slight sadness by taking a couple of puffs of his daughter's breath.

He had previously thought about seeing Zuo Qiuchi's forked tongue, wanting something exciting, but now Zuo Qiuchi knew how to deal with him. If he wanted to see the tongue, he wouldn't be able to see the buttocks; if he wanted to touch the buttocks, he shouldn't even think about the tongue.

"Tonight, Cat and Jiao'er are mine. I'll come over and sleep with them. If anything happens during the night, I'll have someone to help take care of them, so I won't be all overwhelmed."

"Aren't you going to find Cat's mother?" The Great White Python of the Left flicked its tongue as it spoke.

"Of course I can't ask them. No matter which of the cat's mothers I ask, if I ask them, the cat won't stick to me anymore. Wouldn't that be like the cat stealing the spotlight?"

"Aren't you afraid that the cats will get too close to me and ignore you?" Zuo Qiuchi looked at the two little girls, who were now reaching out to hug her.

Thanks to Bai Niang's presence, the two little children in the mansion are not afraid of snakes at all. Now that they see her like this, they immediately want to come over and play with her.

Chu Mingkong's visit to Zuo Qiuchi was naturally based on his own confidence. He shamelessly lay down on the bed, embracing his master, Python, as well, before saying:

"Of course she's not afraid. Now that you've turned back to your original form, the cat will be trying to avoid you. Why would she kiss you instead of me? She's terrified of you feeding her milk now."

Seeing his traitor's smug look, Zuo Qiuchi was truly furious.

If it weren't for the nursing incident, it's hard to say which cat the kitten would be closer to now!

Of course, the topic of who the baby kisses is assumed to exclude Jiao'er, as Jiao'er is indeed very close to Chu Mingkong.

The two babies landed and, as if clinging to a tree branch, wrapped their pink arms around Zuo Qiuchi's body, rubbing their little faces against her smooth snake scales.

Zuo Qiuchi suddenly transformed back into human form, leaving Maomao and Jiao'er stunned. They probably hadn't yet accepted the idea of ​​switching between human and snake forms. Upon seeing Zuo Qiuchi's appearance, Maomao's little face turned serious, and she crawled back into Chu Mingkong's arms for refuge, her round eyes secretly observing Zuo Qiuchi, wary of her breastfeeding behavior.

Seeing this, Chu Mingkong was extremely pleased with himself, his face practically contorted with a grin.

He happily hugged and kissed his girl repeatedly, saying, whether sincerely or with schadenfreude, it was unclear:

"Master, you are indeed my treasure. I can't live without you! If we are separated, the cat will probably be jealous and clingy to me."

Zuo Qiuchi didn't know what to say to him, so she simply put it aside, hugged her daughter to her arms, lay down, and lightly kicked the traitor.

She ordered him around without any politeness:

"Help me pull the covers up!"

Chu Mingkong smiled and grabbed the cat's little paw, gently tucking the blanket around Zuo Qiuchi, especially wrapping up the little darling.

However, he naturally left an opening so that he could also lie down inside.

It's worth mentioning that a snake can't wear clothes, and a snake that transforms back into a human naturally won't have clothes either; this is the case with Zuo Qiuchi.

After Chu Mingkong crawled into bed, he placed the cat in the middle. The little girl's body was just a small ball, and she fell asleep in no time.

After confirming that his youngest daughter's breathing had stabilized and she was fast asleep, Chu Mingkong reached out and gently poked Zuo Qiuchi's soft, proud breasts.

"Master, has the medicine worn off yet? What if something else comes up in the middle of the night and gets all over the cat and Jiao'er..." he whispered.

The reason he took the cat and the girl to the bathhouse before was simply to proudly show off his recovered body and the girl, who was no longer bothered by the effects of the medicine.

Especially wanting to prove it to the babies, so that the two little ones wouldn't be so scared of her that they'd burp whenever they saw her...

The result was obvious: the effects of the medicine may have mostly disappeared, but that also meant that a small portion remained, which caused the cat, Jiao'erzi, to cry.

"Go away, don't touch it. If I pull your finger out and it really hurts, you'll be giving the cats a bath again!" Zuo Qiuchi warned softly.

Chu Mingkong didn't mind at all; watching the little girls take a bath was quite fun, and he found it amusing to see them swimming around.

His movements suddenly became larger, but he dared not make too much noise. He carefully propped himself up and leaned close to Zuo Qiuchi, burying his face in the fragrance of her heart.

"Let me check if there's anything left in my precious Master's possession!"

Zuo Qiuchi couldn't bring himself to scold him. These past few days, when prices were painfully high, this scoundrel had indeed been a major contributor. He decided to let him off the hook for now...

In the darkness, Zuo Qiuchi's thin lips were tightly pursed, as if she was enduring something, and her delicate eyebrows trembled slightly from time to time.

It's hard to say why, but when it comes to "feeding," Cat Girl and Chu Mingkong give completely different feelings.

When feeding the little girls, you can feel their eagerness for food. Special children like Maomao Jiao'er can sometimes make people feel slightly uncomfortable from chewing on them. But when you think about their tenderness, this discomfort turns into affection for the little ones.

Chu Mingkong's words, however, revealed more of a fervent desire than anything else; even the touch of his tongue felt like a playful caress, tickling and tingling to the core...

Ignoring the practical aspects of feeding babies, feeding them Chu Mingkong would actually be a much better experience...

"By the way, since the news from the capital about the Sword Dynasty came last time, has there been any other news coming in? Anything urging you to hurry up or anything?"

Chu Mingkong asked in between his busy moments, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately continued his rambling.

His attitude may seem a bit unserious, but his intentions are genuine; he wasn't just bringing up topics out of boredom.

After receiving the letter, Zuo Qiuchi did not send a reply.

"You're overthinking it. You can't measure it by worldly standards of time. It's only been a short time... If you want to chew on it, chew on it yourself. Don't offer it to me!"

When did I receive that letter? It was around the time those strange, supernatural beings started appearing. How long has it been? The cat has only been replaced twice already. They think a little seclusion isn't enough time to get into the right mindset.

After she finished speaking, Chu Mingkong did not respond immediately because the little ones had turned over, and Chu Mingkong was afraid that speaking now would wake the little ones.

The room was quiet for a while, with occasional sizzling sounds breaking the silence.

Zuo Qiuchi gently tugged at Chu Mingkong's ear, almost mouthing the words of reproach in a low voice:

"Don't make any noise!"

Chu Mingkong obediently slurped for most of the day, and finally it was over. He said confidently:

"Alright, all confirmed, there's no residue left!"

Zuo Qiuchi wanted to punch him, but Chu Mingkong, seeing this, pondered the matter seriously and said:

"Would it be convenient for me to bring my family over to the Sword Dynasty? I'm thinking of leaving Xiling. I've let go of most of what I needed to let go of. If I stay here, I'll just keep attracting hatred here."

But if we're really going to talk about it, Chu Mingkong also has a new reason to stay in Xiling—the depths of the Abyss.

In recent days, his understanding of the depths of the abyss has been constantly expanding, and he wants to explore it further.
