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

"My mother and Fengying's mother both looked for a father, which means we should look for a father like him."

Everyone understood that this was blind worship of their own mother, Empress Yueqi, and Fengying and the others, so even their choices of the opposite sex were included in the scope of worship and imitation.

"Ahem! You can't marry someone like your father..." Shangguan Rong still played the role of not giving Chu Mingkong any face.

"Why? Mother and Fengying Mother are looking for the same one, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Chu Mingkong didn't want the topic to continue to involve him, so he took out several more stacks of pastries to shut the cat up.

"Alright, alright, this topic has gone a bit too far. It's not unusual for a cat to change every month, so there's no need to make a fuss. I'll take the cat to Yuehe's place for a walk later."

Chapter 366 The couple both lacked romantic qualities.

And so, Chu Mingkong took his suddenly evolved eldest daughter to find her mother.

Chu Mingkong's impression of holding a girl's hand seemed to be limited to holding Jin Yu's hand, and the memories of his babies and their mothers. He didn't recall any more tender or affectionate examples...

It's not that there's none, but at least from Chu Mingkong's current perspective, familial affection is largely equivalent to romantic relationships, and his daughters aren't old enough to hold hands and take walks together.

Walking around with the big cat Yue Hexi like this now really gave Chu Mingkong a novel and unfamiliar experience.

This experience is roughly like that of an old father who, even while holding the other person's hand, is still worried that the other person might stumble and fall, getting bruised and battered.

To be honest, this kind of mentality is more suitable for a daughter who is around ten years old. After leaving the baby stage, it directly becomes the "older" aunt mode, which really makes Chu Mingkong's mood a little worn down and out of character.

Yue Hexi held Chu Mingkong's hand. Although she was closer to her female elders when her mother was with her, she still trusted and relied on Chu Mingkong more when they were together.

It was precisely this dependence in the eyes of the young woman that allowed Chu Mingkong to regain some sense of comfort from his daughter's mature appearance.

"Yuehe, I brought this month's kittens over for you to see. Seriously, they should at least show their faces sooner..." Chu Mingkong complained as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The woman with raven-black hair sat quietly in meditation under the corridor, the Moon Eclipse Greatsword lying across her knees, while a wooden cart with flowing water turned slowly in the distance.

Amidst the tinkling sound of flowing water, dappled bamboo shadows sway and fall sporadically onto Yuehe's face, softening the independence and spirit in her character.

"Mother..." Big Cat's voice was somewhat excited.

Yuehe opened her eyes and looked at the woman who resembled her in both appearance and figure. Even though she knew that the cat changed its clothes every month, she still looked confused.

Chu Mingkong led his eldest daughter to sit down next to Yuehe. He felt that Yuehe resonated with the Moon Eclipse Heavy Sword, making him feel more and more like the Moon Empress he had seen in the Divine Kingdom.

"Cat, this Yue has grown so big."

Even though Yuehe was usually quite mild-mannered, she always felt a little uncomfortable when her eldest daughter was being affectionate. However, she still took the initiative to pull her daughter to sit down beside her.

Yue Hexi was quite unceremonious. After sitting down, she immediately hugged her mother's arm, wanting to stick her whole body to her mother. This was much closer than with Chu Mingkong.

Judging by their appearance alone, someone who didn't know them might mistake them for a pair of mature sisters, one a strong and assertive older sister and the other a delicate and fragile younger sister.

However, the individual differences in body shape are still quite obvious. Big Cat perfectly inherited Yuehe's full and graceful figure and tall stature, which can be seen from the first time they met the young Cat.

However, Yuehe also possesses some traits that her daughter cannot inherit, such as her imposing muscles and commanding presence. She is either a valiant female warrior or a powerful female overlord who rules a region through force.

Even though she has lived a secluded life in this courtyard for so long, many of her qualities still cannot be erased from her.

"She has indeed grown quite a bit this month, but mentally she's still a little girl." Yuehe patted the big cat's head, pulled her onto his lap, and let his daughter rest her head on his pillow, feeling completely relaxed.

Really... If Chu Mingkong weren't one of the causes and effects of his parents' relationship, he would most likely have thought that this was some kind of female overlord getting close to his little favorite concubine.

Yuehe's tenderness towards his daughter is characterized by such a strong and resolute style, which is also related to the cat this month.

"On the way here with the big cat, I was thinking, if the cat was this big when I brought you back from the East China Sea, would you still believe me?" Chu Mingkong joked.

"Most likely not."

Without hesitation, Yuehe gave a definite and affirmative answer:

“If my daughter had been this big when I first saw her, I would have been even more suspicious of this world, wondering if it was using illusions to fool me and trick me into staying. Especially since you later took out this Lunar Eclipse Greatsword, I would have been even more suspicious that the memories within it were illusions deduced from the Yin Time World.”

Chu Mingkong asked in surprise:

"Then it seems you know yourself very well. Maybe the cat randomly turning into a kitten was also part of your plan. You know you can't trust the cat in other states."

Yuehe is the kind of woman who doesn't know how to say sweet words, and this applies to her daughter as well; she doesn't know how to say nice things.

"Perhaps, but from the memories within this Lunar Eclipse Greatsword, I didn't see any deductions from Empress Yueqi in this regard. It might just be a lucky coincidence."

Chu Mingkong consistently maintained his stance of keeping the conversation light and relaxed.

"No, no, no, there aren't that many coincidences in this world. My obsession with blind boxes is actually manipulated. If I don't say a few nice things beforehand, I probably won't get anything good."

Therefore, I don't think everything we have now is due to luck, but rather the result of everyone's combined efforts and careful planning.

Perhaps the existence of her daughter had a softening effect on a tough, strong woman like Yuehe, as she unexpectedly jokingly brought up old grievances:

"When you say 'effort,' do you mean trying to get in and out of the wrong room, or are you trying to steal my clothes and prevent me from leaving freely?"

Hey!

Your daughter is still here, please don't say things like "went to the wrong house"...

And this isn't just my problem, is it? You were the one who forced yourself to sit down, and before the material was even properly prepared, you installed it incorrectly. I just couldn't resist my own "drive" to keep going!

However, what Yuehe said about stealing clothes was true. Her clothes were still with Chu Mingkong, and even the two pieces she wore close to her body, Chu Mingkong just asked the embroiderer to make the same style for a few days and then returned them to her.

The original flavor is still stored here with him.

"I think the idea of ​​stealing clothes and leaving you here is pretty romantic, isn't it? I should have told you that story before, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. In the Cowherd's story, as soon as the clothes were returned to the Weaver Girl, she immediately flew away."

"I think it's more like they kidnapped a bandit chieftain, forced her to have children, and then the chieftain's wife would find an opportunity to abandon the children and run away."

"..." Chu Mingkong.

It seems that when it comes to the lack of romantic qualities, Chu Mingkong finds that he and Yuehe are quite compatible as a couple.

Yuehe reached out and gently stroked her daughter Da Mao Mao's chin. In Chu Mingkong's memory, this gesture seemed more often used to pet hunting dogs...

“Let the cat stay with me for a while. I’ll teach her some skills so that she can take care of herself when I’m not here or you aren’t here either.”

"Don't say such things, that day will never come. But why this sudden urge?"

"It wasn't exactly a spur-of-the-moment decision. I still have to teach her what I need to teach her. Before, the kitten was too small to teach her. It's rare that she's a big girl this month... although this sudden burst of enthusiasm is a bit excessive."

Chapter 367 The Prank on My Daughter Is Still Indispensable

"Speaking of which, how long will it take for a kitten to grow up? I mean in all aspects. If we consider her current state of being sometimes big and sometimes small as unstable and still young, will she gradually be able to control herself more freely as she grows up?"

Chu Mingkong habitually wanted to pinch his daughter's paws, but looking at her well-proportioned, fair-skinned, and delicate hands, he felt he didn't have much fun pinching her paws anymore.

"What, do you want the cat to stay a little girl forever?"

"That's not true. Cat has always looked like a little girl, which I think is quite nice. But it's best to let nature take its course. If Cat stays this way, sometimes big and sometimes small, for the rest of her life, that would be a problem."

“Unfortunately, I can’t answer this question either. Empress Yueying didn’t leave any related knowledge in the sword, so it’s up to Maomao herself.” Yuehe shrugged. “But one thing should be certain: if Maomao can stay at a normal size for longer, her inner age will grow faster.”

If her mind matures too quickly, that's something Chu Mingkong doesn't want to see. If his daughter matures too quickly, how can they play together?

Chu Mingkong took out a plate of salty and savory peanuts, placed it next to him, and deliberately ate them while avoiding the cat's gaze.

Of course, you can try to avoid it, but if you don't let the cat see it, then there's no point in "intentionally" doing it.

Hearing her father's relish as he secretly ate, the big cat frowned. If she were still a little kid, she would probably be crying right now.

But she just looked at Chu Mingkong with dissatisfaction, as if she knew his "deliberate" intentions, and her response was: I don't care about your plate of peanuts!

Chu Mingkong grabbed a small handful and personally brought it to Yuehe's lips. Although Yuehe wanted to refuse his childish nonsense, the peanuts were indeed fragrant, the kind of fragrance that could make your mouth water just by smelling them.

She opened her red lips and tasted a few peanuts. The remaining two peanuts rolled out of Chu Mingkong's hand and fell onto Yuehe's chest.

The amazing thing about these breasts is their tightness; even a tiny peanut couldn't fit inside. Chu Mingkong quickly picked it back up.

Perhaps it was a bit of a psychological effect, but the two peanuts actually tasted even better.

"Yuehe, what kind of wine did you drink before? Was it Dancer's Liquor or something?"

Ignoring his eldest daughter's increasingly resentful gaze, Chu Mingkong ate a large handful himself and then fed Yuehe a handful as well.

During this time, another peanut fell from the sky, and this one was flicked by Yuehe's plump breasts, ready to bounce to Big Cat. She was about to open her mouth to catch the peanut and see if it was really that delicious.

Chu Mingkong, quick as a flash, picked up the peanut in mid-air and ate it himself.

Yuehe, too lazy to pay attention to Chu Mingkong's childish behavior of teasing his daughter, thought for a moment and replied:

"The best wine in the land of the moon is naturally named after the moon. At that time, all the tribes had their own moon dew wine, but I personally feel that the moon dew wine from the snow mountain is much better."

It's called Snow Moon Wine.

Snow Moon Wine... Chu Mingkong murmured to himself.

Although I understand that the name of this wine is taken from "Snow Mountain Tribe" and "Moon Dew Wine" respectively, it still has a strangely romantic and poetic feel to it, which I suppose is just a coincidence.

Chu Mingkong quickly sought help from the system, and after a few kind words, he decisively exchanged a bottle of Snow Moon Wine for another one.

He poured a cup for Yuehe, then took a bite of the wine with a handful of peanuts.

"I just remembered there's such a wine. No wonder it sounded so familiar. It tastes really good this way!"

Yuehe looked at the Snow Moon Wine that he had taken out in a daze, smelled it, and found it to be exceptionally rich and authentic.

She was too lazy to investigate further. When she helped Qingning draw rune tattoos to relieve her discomfort, he had also suddenly pulled out a whole bunch of materials.

Yuehe also sipped his wine and ate a few peanuts, while his eldest daughter could only watch from the sidelines, feeling that neither of her parents cared for her.

If it were just peanuts, Cat Cat had eaten quite a few in the mansion before, but now that her mother also approves of Snow Moon Wine, Cat Cat's admiration is getting the better of her, and she is itching to try it too, but she doesn't want to ask this lousy father.

"I've been to the Snow Mountain Tribe before. I inquired there and learned that you started your rise to power in the Snow Mountain region. There's also a Snow Mountain Temple there that leads to your divine kingdom."

In a sense, the snow-capped mountains are Yuehe's second hometown. Hearing Chu Mingkong say this, she felt a sense of detachment and nostalgia, as if she were in another world.

"At that time, I didn't have the Snow Mountain Temple... Well, I can't say I didn't. At least that temple wasn't related to me. It was just a temple for worshipping the creatures of the snow mountain."

If you have time, you should go and see what the Crescent Moon Kingdom is like now. I wonder what it's like now.

Speaking of the current Crescent Kingdom, Chu Mingkong felt that he had also made a contribution. Although there was no major power that could unify the entire territory at the moment, it had entered a period of peace for quite some time.

"We definitely have to go and see. I'll go with you then." Chu Mingkong had already planned how to brag about himself.

As long as Yuehe doesn't bring up Empress Yueqi's achievements, Chu Mingkong feels that if he can bring peace to this chaotic land for several months, that would be a remarkable achievement!

Yuehe remained noncommittal, saying that he didn't know when he would go, and there was no point in looking ahead too much.
