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

"Master's wife, hug me~!"

"..."

The woman had already figured out what scheme Chu Mingkong was planning; it could already be considered an open conspiracy.

But faced with the little guy's advances, she couldn't say anything, as she also felt a sense of familiarity with the kitten.

Helpless, she still picked up the cat and started listening to Chu Mingkong ramble on about random things, asking if there were any scenic spots in Tianyu.

As the sun set, Chu Mingkong added, "Little Gugu said..."

Xuejun interrupted expressionlessly, "Gugu can talk now?"

Chu Mingkong was a little embarrassed, but he still forced himself to say:

"Father and daughter are of one mind; I can sense what she's thinking!"

Chapter 291 The Babies' Hard Work

Xuechuan Shengcheng

Chu Mingkong had been traveling to and from this place for some time. After studying the various paths in the Abyss with Bai Niang for a while, he dug an entrance to the Abyss in Xuechuan Divine City.

Go through that opening, walk a few steps, and you'll reach the entrance of Jianmu.

Just like the Abyss over the Sword Emperor Dynasty, once you dive in, you'll reach the Town of Wine Fragrance.

On this day, after Chu Mingkong left, Yu Xin entered the Snow River Lord's room and was surprised to see a little girl sitting to the side eating the local specialty snacks.

She was slightly surprised. Yu Xin knew that this little girl was called "Maomao" and was Chu Mingkong's daughter.

He would bring his daughters over to visit from time to time. Not only the three Holy Venerable maids, but also some ordinary Holy Venerables and Saints below recognized the little girls.

"Palace Master, why is this cat girl still here? It seems that Lord Chu has already left, hasn't he? And why has the cat girl's body shrunk?"

As they were talking, the four-legged kitten had already crawled to Yu Xin's feet, looking curiously at the white lace stockings she was wearing on her jade-like legs, and then reaching out its little hands to stroke the patterns on them.

"This is the legitimate daughter of Empress Yueqi. Her physical body is blessed by a strange karmic force, and her age resets every month."

Lord Yukikawa offered an explanation to his attendant, but subtly skipped over the previous topic.

The reason why the cat stayed was naturally part of Chu Mingkong's plan.

A while ago, he ran out of reasons to visit other people's homes, so he started using new methods. He got the cat to say it wanted to stay for dinner and overnight, and then the next day he had a reason to "pick up his daughter" so he could come over and visit again.

As expected, lately, his little girls have been frequently "voluntarily" expressing their desire to stay overnight and play.

She couldn't refuse, even though her feelings were a little complicated, but the girls really didn't care.

Yu Xin vaguely guessed some of the reasons, but she didn't want to say anything openly, let alone express her opinion.

The cause and effect between Chu Mingkong and his own palace master originated from their acquaintance in the same region, so it is hard to say that Chu Mingkong deliberately harassed him.

The female cultivators below Xuechuan had previously said that Chu Mingkong was trying to climb the social ladder by marrying the Palace Master, especially during their first few encounters, their hostility had soared.

In their view, Chu Mingkong had taken advantage of the Palace Master's "amnesia" in the Underworld to build a good relationship and wanted to continue his influence in the Heavenly Realm.

Yet Chu Mingkong, a man whose cultivation was not even at the Saint Venerable level when he entered the Heavenly Realm, not only brought down the supreme being of Sword Tyrant Mountain from his altar, but also continued that incredible glory afterward.

Now no one dares to speak ill of him behind his back anymore.

"Palace Master, you've been staring out the window in a daze lately. Is something troubling you?"

The beautiful and perceptive maid asked.

At this moment, the Lord of Snow River was staring blankly at the scenery outside the window again. She often did this after the era when the supreme beings competed with each other had completely faded away.

He would sit alone in the chair for an entire day, only being "disturbed" by Chu Mingkong's arrival, forcing him to break free from this state.

"I don't have any worries, but suddenly I don't know what to do. It looks like I've won, but I don't feel any joy, and I don't have the motivation to continue to push my limits."

Lord of Snow River now understands, in particular, the feelings of the Sword Queen back then.

However, the Sword Queen was more decisive and ruthless, while she herself was confused and somewhat at a loss when faced with a victory that came without much preparation.

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Palace Master had been in a state of high tension for so many years.

She and the Flying Flower Fairy of Shengyang Flower Bridge both follow the path of exploring their own limits, rather than the plundering faction of the Heavenly Sword God and others.

Although she holds a very high position, she is under a lot of pressure, and over the years, no one has been able to share her burden.

If, during all these reshuffling processes, she ever gets stuck in a mental rut and can't break through her own limitations, then there's a big problem.

"Palace Master, perhaps you could try traveling around the Heavenly Realm and the Earthly Realm to clear your mind."

"The Snow River Divine City no longer needs the Palace Master's constant concern. Binglan, Qixue, and I have all taken care of the current affairs... I don't mean that the Palace Master is unimportant, but rather that the Palace Master can relax a bit."

As Yu Xin spoke, she became nervous, worried that her words would be misunderstood.

"Alright, if you feel tired, you can go and rest. Just let me know."

"Take the cat to get a bath, and you can help look after her tonight."

"Yes."

Yu Xin, having received the order, picked up the little girl who was clinging to his leg and took her to bathe.

When Binglan and Qixue saw that their sister Yuxin had taken on such a task, they jokingly joined in to take care of the little princess.

The three of them, tending to this exquisitely beautiful little creature, couldn't help but sigh:

"If this little girl tells others about her background in the future, it will probably scare them to death. Her father is an unparalleled being who came out of the Abyss, and her mother is the Moonlit Empress who single-handedly killed several overlords."

"Luckily, this little guy isn't too shy around strangers, otherwise, if he started making a fuss, I wouldn't know how to soothe him..."

"Even an ordinary woman probably wouldn't dare to serve this young girl, for fear of accidentally committing some serious taboo."

After bathing, the three women rested with the cat.

However, the cat's little mouth just wouldn't stop, even though Chu Mingkong had asked Yongzhen to feed her enough food and prepare plenty of snacks in her little bracelet before he came over.

But she still wanted to find something to eat.

"what......"

The cat opened its mouth wide, begging for food from Yu Xin and the other two.

Actually, the cat doesn't like to interact with strangers, but Binglan and the other two aren't exactly unfamiliar faces; they've appeared in Moonlight Arakawa several times.

Cat had seen them before and had seen them interact with their father, but Binglan and the others hadn't had much contact with the little girl.

"The little girl wants food, what should we do?"

"How about... we find her a wet nurse?"

But the problem quickly returned to the previous concerns—because of her father's influence, not just anyone dared to serve this little girl.

After some discussion, the three women made a significant decision: to find a strange herbal decoction and, under its influence, temporarily act as the little girl's wet nurse.

Otherwise, such a trivial matter would cause the Palace Master to worry.

This won't do!

After much fuss, the cat finally got a hot drink and tried different flavors among the three of them before drifting off to sleep soundly.

......

"Chu Lang, why did you leave Maomao in Xuechuan Divine City? Maomao doesn't know many people there. What if she gets shy around strangers at night?"

Jin Yu was taken aback when she learned of this.

“Jinyu, I know you’re worried about Maomao, but Master’s wife is there. Maomao recognizes her. I had Yongzhen feed her well beforehand, and I stuffed a lot of food into her bracelet.”

Chu Mingkong explained repeatedly.

Jin Yu originally wanted to express her concerns, but whether the Lord of Xuechuan would acknowledge her as Shen Xuejun was another matter!

However, upon hearing that "Yongzhen fed the cats," Jinyu's pretty face couldn't help but turn stern.

It was very serious, very heavy, and I felt a sense of envy.

Counting the days, Yongzhen is about to give birth; it's only about two weeks away...

So annoying!

Chu Mingkong knew what the girl was thinking, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Alright, Jinyu, you don't need to worry anymore. I'll take you there tomorrow. We'll go check on the cat before dawn to see how it's resting. Is that alright?"

"While we're at it, we should also find a quiet and pleasant place to do some baby-making!"

Jin Yu emphasized, her little face extremely serious.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Chu Mingkong smiled wryly.

......

A few days later, Chu Mingkong continued to travel to and from Xuechuan Divine City under the pretext that "Baby wants to spend the night."

The permutation and combination usually involves leaving the cats and goofballs in turn so they can play with Xuejun.

For some reason, the babies seemed quite happy to stay there. As the eldest sister, the cat would always stay overnight, perhaps because she was afraid her younger sisters would be shy and alone.

In the Snow River Divine City, the night was pleasant, but the three holy maidens of the Snow River Lord had mixed feelings.

They looked at the crying, hungry babies, their feelings a mix of emotions.

"Yu Xin... Why did Your Excellency Chu leave the babies here?" Bing Lan sighed repeatedly as she held the little lamb.

Because of the little sheep's unique talent, Binglan really liked this baby and wished she could have one herself. However, after feeding it for several days in a row, her mood changed a bit.

Yu Xin wasn't idle either; she was also feeding the little one.

"Don't panic. Lord Chu left the baby here to find a suitable excuse to come and meet the Palace Master frequently. After several attempts, this time he left all his daughters here. This excuse won't work next time!"

After today, I doubt he'll be able to leave the babies here any longer.

Qi Xue gently stroked the kitten's face in her arms, and then squeezed her baby's little hand, whispering:

"You're always here, bringing your little sisters over to freeload! You're so enthusiastic!"

From now on, you'll have to make your father take the Palace Master seriously and come up with a way to break this deadlock as soon as possible. What kind of behavior is it to keep using you as an excuse?

Binglan then came over to chat with this little "big sister":

"Kitty, you don't have any girlfriends at home anymore, right? Next time, your dad won't have an excuse to let you stay here. What will you do if you miss us then?"
