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

"Does Bai Niang mean that we can choose other inheritances before those inheritances that we cannot yet access 'degenerate'?"

But we've already transformed into snakes. Since you've brought this up, Bai Niang, do you mean there's another way to choose?

Bai Niang nodded, her rounded, long lower half of her snake body slowly wriggling, and continued to explain:

“Once you have finished learning the current inheritance, before the first molt of the snake arrives, those dark inheritances will be illuminated for you. However, if you choose to molt the snake, these choices will be completely dimmed.”

Chu Mingkong had already started to make connections. Did this mean that his master and the others could transform into other forms?

He wanted to ask Bai Niang what else was in these inheritances, but then he thought that Bai Niang had forgotten what kind of inheritance she belonged to, so how could she remember those that had "degenerated" in her?

he asked:

"Bai Niang, we all received our inheritance because of you. Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if we changed it at will?"

On this point, their understanding differed, as Bai Niang explained:

"No, all the inheritances you have come from me. The power is from the same source, but you have chosen different ways to express this power."

Just like within the Daoist sects of humanity, some children choose the Daoist sword, while others choose alchemy. Can we say they aren't disciples of the Daoist sect simply because they choose different paths?

In short, the inheritance that Bai Niang gave them was not the inheritance of her current snake form, but an inheritance that allowed them to freely choose from various forms of inheritance.

"However, as for what kind of inheritance there is, it is a forgotten past for me. You can decide for yourselves at that time."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingkong immediately patted his beloved master:

"Master, let's see if you can turn into a salted fish then."

"..." Zuo Qiuchi rolled her eyes at this rebellious disciple and slapped away the pig's trotter he offered. "Are you sick? If you really become a salted fish, it will be inconvenient for you to even turn over in your sleep."

Feng Ying looked at Zuo Qiuchi in amazement and complained, "I thought you hated salted fish, but I didn't expect you to think that salted fish are uncomfortable to sleep on? But usually salted fish are hung up to dry, so there's no need to worry about them turning over."

Chu Mingkong chimed in at the opportune moment: "I like bondage~!"

Today's Bai Niang class ended amidst these jokes. Bai Niang didn't seem to mind Chu Mingkong interrupting and steer the topic in strange directions, since her explanations were quite free-flowing anyway.

Seeing that Bai Niang had no intention of continuing, Xiao Yunhan decided to start a different conversation with her younger brother. She pulled him to her side, and Chu Mingkong sensed something was amiss.

"Yunhan, what are you doing...?"

"Did you cultivate with Qingning? Does that mean you've mostly figured out your previous confusion and bewilderment?"

"..."

Faced with his sister's fixed gaze, Chu Mingkong suddenly remembered this matter: he couldn't let Yunhan know that he was cultivating.

But now that things have come to this, it seems we can't say it's impossible anymore. It's impossible that Qingning figured it out, but Xiao Yunhan is struggling with it again, right?

"Hmm, I think I've... figured it out. Let's set a time next time!"

My teacher's wife had already softened her stance a bit, but I'd still like to double-check.

Chapter 376 Desire to Leave

Chu Mingkong went to his master's wife's study. Last time, because of the desk change, his master's wife's study was temporarily moved to another place, but now it has been moved back.

The table was a brand new model, but the overall design remained the same, with ample space underneath.

Chu Mingkong only hoped that he would not have to use this small space to hide again... but he could still enjoy his master's wife's white silk feet.

"Master's wife, I've come to see you."

Chu Mingkong knocked on the door, then brought out a pot of freshly brewed flower tea. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the steam, he walked to the desk.

Unlike the previous times when she would retrieve and study books, this time Shen Xuejun did not sit in the study to read. Instead, she stood by the window, with her back to Chu Mingkong, gazing into the distance.

The view outside the carved window railings is nothing more than distant mountains and white clouds, blue sky and plains. Occasionally looking at it can broaden one's mind, but after looking at it for a long time, it's just the same old thing.

However, Chu Mingkong found his master's wife's silhouette, leaning against the railing with her hands behind her back gazing into the distance, quite captivating.

Bright light passed through the carved window, taking shape. These beautiful beams shone on the white-haired woman's hair, creating a slightly translucent and enchanting beauty. The light also passed through her graceful curves, each beam highlighting the cold and sexy allure of her ample breasts, slender waist, full hips, and beautiful legs.

Upon hearing Chu Mingkong's voice, Shen Xuejun returned to her chair and sat down. She looked at Chu Mingkong, about to greet him, but then paused and changed her words:

"come over."

Come here... Are you really going to shove me under the table and step on me again?

This time, Chu Mingkong had made preparations in advance, having Da Maomao take Jiao'er to keep Yun Han occupied, and having their aunt play with the little girls to prevent another sneak attack.

Therefore, there won't be as many surprises this time.

After Chu Mingkong walked over, Shen Xuejun sniffed his scent up close.

"What a fishy smell of snake! Has the white snake from the Abyss successfully transformed?" Shen Xuejun asked.

Chu Mingkong smelled himself and couldn't detect anything special. Also, does one's aura change before and after transformation?

Compared to all of this, Chu Mingkong vaguely sensed that his master's wife seemed to have a bit of a problem with Bai Niang...?

Although there was no direct evidence or interaction to corroborate Chu Mingkong's statement, he could sense something from his master's wife's consistently cold attitude.

"Uh...yes, Qingning and I put in a lot of effort, and Bai Niang can now transform into human form, but only half of it. Occasionally, she will still turn back into her snake form to move around."

"Master's wife, do you even know what clan Bai Niang came from?"

Shen Xuejun shook her head, snapped her fingers lightly, and an ice crystal chair appeared beside her. She gestured for Chu Mingkong to sit down before saying:

"I don't know. I can still explore the outer perimeter of the Abyss with some simple activities, but the depths of the Abyss are a place I can't stay for long."

Moreover, throughout the long history, there has been no report of any living beings active in the depths of the Abyss.

To be honest, before it was just you, but now there's Bai Niang, and the other beings she mentioned from the depths of the Abyss.

Chu Mingkong felt that, under normal circumstances, he should be a little surprised.

While Yuehe wasn't overwhelmed by the commotion in the depths of the abyss, her reaction was clearly one of confusion and astonishment.

"It seems like Master's wife and Bai Niang don't get along very well?" Chu Mingkong asked directly after hesitating.

"There are some."

At least explain why, don't just give such a simple answer...

Chu Mingkong could only continue asking questions. Even though he was the one asking the questions, he felt like he was being led around.

"Why don't they get along? Master's wife and Bai Niang shouldn't have any connection." Chu Mingkong asked somewhat nervously.

"People with an overly strong personal presence will often feel apprehensive and hostile when they sense other presences in their own territory."

This means that two tigers cannot share one mountain. If it were just a matter of fear in terms of aura, Chu Mingkong could breathe a sigh of relief.

Fear is at most just a sense of defensiveness; real trouble would be if there were any clear hostility, as neither of them are easy to deal with.

On one side is the master's wife, whose strength is unfathomable in the present world; on the other side is Bai Niang, who can roam freely in the depths of the Abyss.

Shen Xuejun seemed unwilling to delve deeper into this topic, preferring to leave it at that; she then said:

“Mingkong, you’ve come at the right time. I also have something to tell you. But you’ve come here for more than just to ask about the white snake, haven’t you? Tell me your purpose.”

Chu Mingkong reached out to the beautiful woman's jade-like feet, and after confirming that she did not have any aversion, he placed his master's wife's white silk-clad legs on his own thighs, respectfully and gently massaging and kneading them.

He gave an awkward laugh and revealed his true purpose:

"Yunhan obtained a small portion of the Minor Abyss from Bai Niang and wanted to cultivate with me to try it out. I felt that the atmosphere between my master's wife and Bai Niang wasn't particularly good, so I hesitated about Yunhan cultivating the opportunity given by Bai Niang..."

"Well, I came specifically to ask my master's wife if it's alright? If she feels it's inappropriate, I'll immediately refuse Yunhan!"

Chu Mingkong's words were a slight adjustment to the question of "whether or not I can cultivate with my sister," turning it into "whether or not I can cultivate Bai Niang's inheritance with Yun Han," which was a very subtle way of putting it.

Furthermore, he also indirectly informed his master's wife of the insights Yunhan had received from Bai Niang.

Shen Xuejun turned slightly, her plump, jade-like legs, encased in sheer white stockings, gently shifting their position so that Chu Mingkong could massage her other leg. Her icy blue eyes were fixed on Chu Mingkong.

"Oh? Then I'll call Yunhan over now, and you can tell her face to face that you're not going to cultivate?"

Chu Mingkong didn't dare to meet his master's wife's gaze. It was an embarrassing situation; if he called his sister over now, he would be in a very awkward position.

"This... I beg your forgiveness, Master's wife. I will explain this to Yunhan in a tactful manner later!"

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously. If Yunhan can find an opportunity, that's her own ability, I won't interfere."

Chu Mingkong really wanted to ask, "Really?", but he was afraid that his master's wife would immediately reply, "That was just a joke," and then Chu Mingkong wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.

"Alright, then this is what I wanted to say to my master's wife. She just said she had something to tell me. May I ask what it is?"

"I promised to handle the Buddhist affairs back then, and now it's almost done. Only the goddess and bodhisattva are left to finish things up."

"In a few days, my master's wife will be leaving to return to the sect. It's not a good thing that Yunhan and I have been away from the sect for too long."

Chu Mingkong was taken aback, only then remembering that his master's wife was indeed here because of his request.

He was about to leave suddenly. Although he could finally stop worrying about Yunhan's cultivation, he still felt a little reluctant to part with his master's wife.

"But... it doesn't seem easy for the goddess to finish things up?"

Chapter 377 Can I lick my master's wife?

Based on Chu Mingkong's understanding of his master's wife, she should have helped him deal with the Goddess Bodhisattva, instead of letting him be trapped in the Wuxiangtian forever.

Or perhaps you could teach him the ability to perceive the Bodhisattva's seal, and then let him practice self-guidance to keep the seal in a state of depletion.

This seems to have prevented the goddess from taking the initiative, but it looks very strange. It has really become a regular detox.

“Dealing with that goddess Bodhisattva is indeed not an easy task.” Shen Xuejun affirmed Chu Mingkong’s words, but then added, “But it’s not entirely like that. You can also put her in a difficult situation.”

"Turn around and put her in a difficult situation?" Chu Mingkong recalled the idea that Sister Yuehe had given him. Could it be similar to his master's wife's method?

"Exactly, the most troublesome thing about this Bodhisattva is not that he is difficult to deal with, but that he is impossible to deal with completely."

There are many Bodhisattvas, but some of them are able to transform sentient beings by virtue of the large number of believers and their own substantial accumulation of wealth.

If you remove the goddess bodhisattva that the courtesan is in the present moment, she will manifest in other forms in the future. However, if you can pollute the goddess bodhisattva in the present moment and confine her to the realm of non-thought, you can also confine her to the realm of non-thought.

You can raise it as a tool for studying Buddhist teachings.

"ah......?"

Chu Mingkong was a little confused. Did his master's wife mean to plant a demon in that goddess bodhisattva and then use her as a flesh toy for cultivation... a bodhisattva doll?
