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

As a member of the Sword Emperor Dynasty, Zuo Qiuchi knew better than anyone how far this distance was!

Even if he could see the Sword Emperor Dynasty's soaring sword domain just by looking out the window now, the actual journey would still take several months. How could he have run all that way in the time it takes to take a walk?!

Xiao Yunhan explained for her younger brother:

"This was indeed an accidental discovery. If you go there now, you should be able to do the same. There's nothing special about it. Mingkong and I just happened to be taking a walk when we came across a fight and then we rescued the people."

"Ok!"

Chu Mingkong nodded in agreement, and then, in a muddled manner, offered his own explanation, bringing up what Bai Niang had previously told him about the Abyss.

"...That's what Bai Niang told me before, but I can't explain the details and principles to you."

The women could only sigh, with no way to investigate further.

Fengying asked one more question:

"Bai Niang, what exactly is that Abyss, and why is it so special? How can the distance between two Abysses be reduced to such a small space, shortening a journey that would have taken months to just a few minutes!"

Bai Niang continued to use Chu Mingkong's black python to manifest human form, preferring to stay close to him in her true form.

A stunningly beautiful woman in a black dress appeared in the room. Her serene and peaceful face was adorned with gentle, maternal eyes. Her mature and elegant demeanor exuded a transcendent air of indifference to worldly matters, and her gaze would occasionally fall on Chu Mingkong.

Aside from her special fondness for the male offspring, Bai Niang also showed considerable interest in the female offspring. She explained:

"If you want a definite answer, I can hardly give one, but if you want my guess, I think the Abyss is a lost world."

Only some remnants of unknown age remain there; there's no need to delve into them, nor to become overly fascinated by them or attempt to explore them.

Zuo Qiuchi moved her small stool behind Feng Ying, rested her chin on Feng Ying's shoulder, and said:

"What are Mingkong's plans after this? The Sword Dynasty might assume Donglu died in the Abyss, or they might find another way to come after her."

Chu Mingkong looked at his beloved master, who was sitting slouching, and complained irritably:

"This is your stronghold, why are you acting like an outsider?"

"I can't expect you to follow my lead. If it were me, I would wait here until things inside are settled, and the Sword Domain collapses before I worry about it."

This decision-making style is truly Zen-like; even Bodhisattva Liu would have to consult you for advice.

Chu Mingkong stopped rambling with Zuo Qiuchi and began to ponder...

The other party to this engagement was brought over by him in a daze, and Aunt Donglu even became a nun because of her grandfather's passing.

Becoming a monk or nun means severing ties with worldly karma and escaping the mundane world.

The matter of Chu Mingkong traveling thousands of miles to fulfill the marriage agreement is actually not that important. We can't expect Dong Lu to return to secular life before continuing the engagement, can we?

It is said that the Sword Dynasty does not pay much attention to this old matter. Who was it that sent the jade slip to the capital back then, urging Zuo Qiuchi to take him back?

Moreover, at this juncture, Chu Mingkong really doesn't want to get involved in so much trouble.

I just decided to properly handle my wedding arrangements and give the girls an explanation!

Chu Mingkong made up his mind:

"Then let's do as Master said and wait and see. I also have some important things to take care of!"

Chapter Fifteen Yunhan: Master, I'm getting married.

The location needs to be carefully chosen, but for Chu Mingkong, there weren't many options.

The biggest advantage of holding a wedding ceremony with red candles in a foreign land is that you have no relatives, and the biggest disadvantage is also that you have no relatives.

With fewer people coming to deliver gifts and blessings, the atmosphere felt relatively quiet, but Aunt Gu and her family didn't have to worry about the opinions of their elders and relatives, which was a rare advantage!

Otherwise, dragging Aunt Gu and the others into it would be like going to jail.

After much thought, it seems the only option is to directly requisition Qingse's Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Since he was staying under someone else's roof, Chu Mingkong was still very polite and went to Qingse's room.

After waiting a short while for her to finish instructing the maid, Chu Mingkong stepped forward.

"Your Highness, what's going on again? You've found your aunt, why don't you spend some quality time with her?" Qingse said sarcastically.

However, this was not malicious; it was just a joke that he managed to win back his fiancée by going out for a stroll.

Very mysterious and wonderful!

"I'll keep you company for a while. There's something important I need to tell you. I've requisitioned your Immortal Treasure Pavilion. We'll be getting married in a few days, and I might need you to help with the arrangements."

"..."

Qingse's face fell. She could let go of business matters in the past, but why did she have to handle even the wedding night?

"Alright, so who's going to be the bride? I mean... we need a few sets of phoenix coronet and wedding gown, you definitely don't have any, right?"

Chu Mingkong thought that he actually had this, and he could just ask the system to make a few sets, but Qingse still needed to know about the seating arrangements.

As for the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, it would be difficult for Qingse to help with those. At most, she could only ask someone to find an embroiderer to rush the work, and she didn't know when it would be completed.

He said, "Except for the baby, I'll basically treat everything as a bride. As for the red makeup and other things, I'll handle those."

Hearing this, knowing that she didn't need to worry about the phoenix coronet and wedding gown, Qingse felt relieved, but also asked curiously:

"Your Highness, is your newly arrived aunt also going to serve?"

This stumped Chu Mingkong. "Why not just make a reservation first? If it doesn't work out, we can figure it out later, or if our relationship progresses in the future, we can have a wedding night together."

With Master's wife Shen Xuejun not around, Chu Mingkong will have to keep her under his thumb in the future. And Yuehe, he'll have to make up for it eventually!

"Let's count that for now, at most we'll let her sit at the same table as the baby."

......

Chu Mingkong and Qingse had finished their discussion, so he left to return to his room without disturbing her work.

On the way back to his room, Chu Mingkong saw Qingning supporting Yongzhen.

Qingning's delicate face was filled with tension as she looked worriedly at the pale-faced princess.

Chu Mingkong quickly ran over, also helping Yongzhen up, and bent down slightly to examine her complexion:

"Qingning, what's wrong with Yongzhen?!"

Qingning shook her head, looking confused:

"I don't know. When I came out just now, I saw Yongzhen leaning against the wall and gagging, so I quickly came over to support her."

Wearing a white palace dress, Yongzhen slowly sat up. Her thin lips were slightly pale, but her eyes were still bright. She comforted him, saying:

"Don't worry too much, I think... I might be pregnant?"

In the past few days, Yongzhen has also encountered similar situations, such as dry heaving and loss of appetite.

But she was an independent person. Since she had just arrived in Jiuxiang Town and things were still unstable, Yongzhen didn't rush to tell Chu Mingkong, so as not to distract him.

Now that we've been caught, there's nothing we can do.

Chu Mingkong was mostly pleasantly surprised:

"real?!"

Even Qingning, who never spoke the opposite of Chu Mingkong, couldn't help but retort:

"How could this be fake?"

He knew his words were a bit silly, but they came from genuine joy!

"Yes, yes, I'm bad with words, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

This left Chu Mingkong momentarily at a loss for what to do or say. He excitedly kissed Yongzhen's cheek, and seeing Qingning pursing her lips beside her, he kissed her as well.

Then, Chu Mingkong quickly helped Yongzhen back into the house to sit down.

Madam Zhen was not seen in the room, presumably she had gone to chat with Pei Mi; only Yongzhen's doll was present.

However, her physical body was unwell, and although her doll body did not win the lottery, she did not want to move much and quietly rested in bed.

"Does Madam Zhen know about this?" Chu Mingkong asked.

Yongzhen has taken the lead and secured the top spot among the younger generation.

"I didn't know, and I'm a little... embarrassed to tell her." Yongzhen rarely showed a bit of shyness, and touched her still flat stomach with embarrassment.

This feeling was quite peculiar; Yongzhen herself had initially thought it was an ordinary thing.

She had done this kind of thing quite a bit over the years, so it was only natural that Chu Mingkong wanted to have her baby, and she worked hard and was lucky enough to get pregnant.

She didn't show much emotional fluctuation a few days ago when she kept it a secret from everyone, and even wondered if it was just her imagination.

But now, seeing Chu Mingkong's ecstatic expression, the princess's pretty face, which was both delicate and somewhat proud, was filled with gentleness.

Unconsciously, she smiled along with Chu Mingkong.

"Congratulations, Yongzhen!" Qingning congratulated her, looking at Yongzhen with a hint of envy.

To make my brother so happy...

Because the two women who were pregnant before her had kept their good fortune a secret and didn't dare let others know, this was the first time Qingning had ever seen her brother so happy!

"Thank you, Qingning~" Yongzhen said with a smile.

It's truly rare to see this princess, who usually has a stern face, smile for so long, all year round.

"Yongzhen, you've really made my life even happier!" Chu Mingkong said sincerely.

Both Qingning and Yongzhen were somewhat confused, so Qingning asked on her behalf:

"Is this first piece of good news that Aunt Donglu has been rescued, or that another baby has been added to the family after Xiaogugu?"

"That's of course about the wedding night," Chu Mingkong thought to himself.

"You'll find out in a few days; I'm still preparing."

......

Meanwhile, Xiao Yunhan, the elder sister, was in the sect's jade slip, preparing the contents of the letter she would send back to her master.

The Sword Dynasty is also far from the Asking Love Pavilion, but the sect's jade slips can still ensure communication, although there will be some delays.

Xiao Yunhan said she was going to part ways with her younger brother and return to her sect to go into seclusion, but she had already mentioned this when she was in Xiling, and she is still staying by her brother's side now.
