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

"Your business skills are really well trained~ Have you ever thought about expanding your business to Tianyu? It's easy to handle the relationships, it just depends on whether you're willing to work on it again."

"Huh? Is this something urgent?" Qingse was a little confused.

"No rush, I'm just worried that you'll be bored. My Sword Emperor grandmother and Asuluo are so idle, they're even bored to the point of wanting to fall asleep. So I'm afraid you'll have similar thoughts, so I'm planning something for you to do in advance."

"If you want to try your luck in Tianyu, you can do it anytime. Don't worry about regional prejudice or anything like that."

Hearing this, Qingse smiled gently. Although Chu Mingkong spoke casually, she could still feel his concern.

"I'll probably be so bored in the future that I'll want to find something to do, but for now, I'd like to take a break. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness~"

"Besides this matter, there is something else I would like to ask you to prepare."

"So something did happen after all!"

Qingse shrugged helplessly, straightened her posture slightly, took out paper and pen, and prepared to write it down.

This serious attitude is truly pleasing to the eye and inspires trust.

"I'm planning my second wedding. It doesn't need to be too grand, but I can prepare a little more than last time."

Chu Mingkong made a Korean gesture to indicate the level of preparation, and then gave a more detailed explanation.

This wedding was naturally prepared for the elders, to make up for the previous regrets.

The original intention was to do it as perfectly as possible, but if it were too grand compared to the first time of the younger generation, it would be a bit unreasonable in comparison.

Chu Mingkong had considered having Jin Yu and the others attend the second wedding together, so there would be no favoritism. However, the elders seemed to object, feeling that the younger generation would have two wedding banquets already.

In conclusion, the final decision was to return to the Immortal Pavilion in Wine Town and hold a simple wedding banquet.

Just do it the same way as last time; the elders are quite considerate of the younger generation's feelings.

"This is a minor issue. If we want to make it a little more elaborate, we can use better materials for the floral decorations. We'll try not to overshadow the last wedding in a blatant way."

Qingse cast a confirming glance at Chu Mingkong, receiving his affirmation.

"So many weddings for our elders all at once, Your Highness, you're quite the beast... You seem to have it all figured out! Haha!"

Qingse's sigh almost revealed her true feelings.

"And what about you, Qingse? Has your family mentioned anything about your marriage?" Chu Mingkong asked in return.

"What are you saying? Do you old fogies even deserve it?"

Qingse revealed a disdainful expression, but this disdain was directed at the old men in her family.

"Your Highness, you have no idea. When I went back, those old Bi Dengs tried to use their seniority to suppress me. They even wanted to use me for marriage alliances to curry favor with other families and show off their power. They didn't even know who they were."

"You stood your ground and retorted?"

Judging from her tone, Chu Mingkong could already imagine the situation. Some clans were indeed quite strange, with an excessive emphasis on seniority and a considerable number of people who relied on their age to act superior.

Even though Qingse is currently using his name, some old-timers still feel that they have a lot of say in the clan.

"Of course, did they give the old guys too much face?"

Judging from Qingse's tone, she must have been holding back for a long time. She had finally made a name for herself outside and was able to return home and vent her frustrations.

Chu Mingkong listened to her description of how she went back to confront the clan elders for a long time, and then said:

"It would have been so much better if you had asked me to come with you back then. I would have stood up for you."

"That's actually not quite right. What I want to say is to refute those old guys. If Your Highness goes there, will they dare to say a word?"

"That's true, but it's not really a good idea for you to do it this way. Why don't you add another set when you're preparing the wedding supplies, and prepare your own set as well? It's better for both of you to be considerate and make do with each other."

Qingse hadn't encountered a situation that made her mind go blank for countless years.

He stood there in a daze for a while, his gaze darting away, and he awkwardly curled his hair.

"...Okay, but that's really going too far. I'll have to prepare all the details of my own wedding banquet."

"Let me help you!"

......

After Chu Mingkong left, Qingse was still somewhat incredulous.

She sat alone in the room for a long time, then took a deep breath to calm herself. She frantically pulled out a piece of paper, her hand trembling as she wrote.

[Qingse: His Highness just told me that he might be expanding business in the Heavenly Realm in the future, which puts a lot of pressure on him!]

[Qingse: Nida, I'm sorry, from now on I'll be different from you. I won't be playing with fakes anymore. In a while, I can try out what His Highness's thing, still warm with flesh and blood, tastes like~]

[Qingse: Business in Tianyu is complicated just thinking about it, but for now, rest is the priority. Once we're rested enough, we'll get our spirits up and go to the Tianyu market to fight our way through and see if these goods can sell!]

[Qingse: But I don't think it should be a big problem, because a while ago, a female cultivator from the Heavenly Realm came to me to buy something. She bought a 'Great Weapon of the Abyss Overlord' to take back and experience its baptism. The potential market should be very broad!]

Nida is the married businesswoman from the Crescent Moon Kingdom, who has a penchant for the unusual and enjoys collecting "sculptures" of all kinds of living creatures.

After meeting Chu Mingkong, she collected a complete set of jade toys of various attributes from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and even set up a separate room to display them.

After Qingse followed Chu Mingkong to the Sword Dynasty, she handed over most of her business in the New Moon Kingdom and the old Tianji Empire to Nida to copy.

Chu Mingkong's relationship with them, coupled with their close business collaboration, made their bond unparalleled. They also had various intimate conversations about their best friend relationship.

The married merchant, far away in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, suddenly sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations of the paper slip.

She knew this must be a message from Qingse, because Nida would only carry Qingse's notes with her.

She glanced at it a few times and, upon seeing Qingse's first words, assumed that Qingse wanted to discuss business in the chat domain.

Upon seeing the second sentence, he even staggered.

[Nida: You wretched woman, you pretended to be negotiating business but you just came to show off? Really?! Let me experience what it's like during the wedding night festivities, and you'll have to put in a good word for me with His Highness, okay? Here's the deal: name your price!]

--------

P.S.: In this final stage, the plan is to give each female lead a chapter or two of screen time to build up her relationships. But this review only makes the sheer number of female leads seem even more apparent...

(Looks up at the sky and covers face)

Chapter 300 Cheers, Pili Pili

All the arrangements were entrusted to Qingse, who was indispensable in this process.

She was in charge of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, so it was easier for her to handle things. However, Chu Mingkong didn't intend for her to do everything alone; he would definitely make an appearance himself.

As night fell, Chu Mingkong watched the little ones fall asleep in the arms of their elders, while he wandered alone in the courtyard of the Kunlun Dao Sect.

But I mainly walked along the corridors of the "dormitory," bathing in the quiet moonlight alone.

At times like these, you don't need to think about anything; just slowly empty your mind.

After walking for a while, Chu Mingkong unknowingly arrived at Ke Qing's room, where the lights were on and some voices could be heard.

He took a closer look and saw that Wanxiangyu and Keqing were chatting, and it seemed that they were still talking about cultivation techniques.

What kind of cultivation technique will Tuberose practice right now? Naturally, it will be the cultivation technique of the Jinghuan lineage.

This is also something Chu Mingkong is currently researching!

Well, they've actually been secretly practicing their skills here behind everyone's back.

Chu Mingkong knocked gently on the door, entered the room, took off his shoes, crawled onto the bed, and sat down beside the two people.

"Mingkong, didn't you play with the babies?" Keqing asked softly.

As night falls, she lowers her voice as the darkness deepens, as if afraid of disturbing others.

"I had a good time. It was so hard to keep the babies awake. I even let them ride me like a horse. I almost got through it myself first."

"No wonder, when Wanxiangyu, Feihuang, and I passed by the bathhouse, we heard the little ones giggling. We thought you were tickling their toes!"

Ke Qing gently covered her mouth and smiled, already imagining Chu Mingkong carrying his daughters around everywhere.

Who would have thought that the once supreme overlord who dominated the world would let his daughters ride on his back at home, completely losing his dignity?

Tuberose hadn't changed much; she still had the same fairy-like image of a flower-bearing beauty, exactly the same as when they first met. However, her relationship with Chu Mingkong had improved considerably.

This change in favorability was all due to his many trips to the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace to help her sisters transform into human form.

Regardless of whether his feelings for her changed, Chu Mingkong continued to play with her delicate petals (referring to the flower held in the tuberose's mouth), the only difference being the degree of cooperation.

The tuberose of the past: bearing humiliation and hardship, with bright eyes and angry expression.

The modern tuberose: bearing humiliation and hardship, repaying kindness with her life.

When Chu Mingkong hugged her, Wan Xiangyu didn't resist much, but she still looked grief-stricken, as if she was sacrificing herself to repay her sisters' kindness.

Afterwards, they won't bring out fruit again to make strange jokes like, "This is the fruit you pollinated for me; you ate your own offspring."

"What are you doing here?" Wan Xiangyu asked warily.

"We're waiting for someone to repay our kindness!" Chu Mingkong said solemnly, opening his arms wide.

Tuberose, clutching her beautiful and soft pomegranate skirt, slowly moved to Chu Mingkong's side, bent down beneath him, and prepared to envelop him with her flower core and play a tune on her jade flute for him.

Chu Mingkong stopped her for the time being, helped her sit up, and then took the pink-edged, white-based flower from her mouth to play with it, saying:

"I came here to talk about something serious. I was just joking with you earlier. Can I borrow this to touch it?"

Keqing watched as Ming Teng teased her hundreds-of-years-old sister, but there was nothing she could do. He was just teasing Wanxiangyu because of her personality.

"Mingkong, is there anything important that we can help with?"

"Is this the cultivation technique of the Goddess of Illusion that you were just discussing? It uses that unique dream world to bring forth all sorts of wondrous creations. I wonder how far you have progressed in cultivating this technique, Wanxiangyu?"

As Chu Mingkong spoke, he kept playing with the flower. The flower was of extremely high quality, needless to say, and it complemented the tuberose's beauty perfectly.

The flower stem was about the length of her throat. Although the stem was slender, it had been there for many years and she had gotten used to it. No wonder the tuberose was not afraid of Chu Mingkong touching her mouth from the beginning.

As his fingertips traced the edges of the delicate pink petals and slowly touched the stamen, Chu Mingkong had never paid attention to the flowers and plants by the roadside before. At most, he would accompany the artistic young women in his family who wanted to admire the flowers and recite a few lines of ancient poems about appreciating flowers.

However, the tuberose flower is really interesting, especially its stamen. If you touch it lightly, the tuberose will bite its cherry lips, as if it is enduring something.

This flower is a unique sensory organ of the tuberose, and it's quite sensitive.

"Don't pinch there... I said..."

Tuberose spoke as if she had been subjected to severe torture to extract a confession.
