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

But in her dream, it wasn't her husband who appeared, but her father-in-law...

This was a nightmare for her. Every time the clan leader's face appeared, Keqing would wake up in a cold sweat.

She often wondered if having such dreams meant she had truly fallen into depravity and was content with this state of being.

Keqing was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. Sometimes her husband would scold her when he saw her coming down from Tianxiang Tower, but he never stood up for her.

When Chu Mingkong first visited the Cui family, he was already "notorious," and all sorts of words related to cowardice were used to describe him.

But Keqing didn't think anything of it. She knew that in the past, hostages had always been in the same situation. It was just that Chu Mingkong was more unfortunate than any of the previous hostages. As for her, her reputation might be even worse than Chu Mingkong's someday. What was there to laugh at?

Because of Gu Jun Gui's sister-in-law connection, Ke Qing and Chu Ming Kong also became uncle and sister-in-law, although their relationship wasn't very close...

Yet this prince's brother-in-law, who was barely able to protect himself, found out the reason for her "nightmares" in her boudoir and gave her a precious hairpin.

Later, Chu Mingkong became the ideal man in Ke Qing's heart; perhaps a man should be like him.

Outside, although he was domineering and committed many evil deeds, first killing the Nightblade Guards and then killing the Crown Prince.

However, he was always gentle and docile towards the female elders, able to reserve his tenderness for them, unlike the men of the Cui family, who were incompetent and only dared to act fiercely and domineeringly towards women.

Keqing always considered herself a law-abiding person. She had persisted for so long under the clan leader's intimidation and threats, and nothing could shake her resolve.

Having witnessed the clan chief's ability to tamper with things like paintings, Ke Qing knew that one day she might inexplicably lose her innocence, but it would definitely be due to those strange methods, not her own will...

However, after Gu Jun Gui's sister-in-law suggested that she submit to Chu Ming Kong, Ke Qing discovered that she felt no aversion whatsoever.

Mingkong is the younger brother-in-law, and she is the sister-in-law, even if their relationship isn't very close...

But that won't work either...

It's clearly unacceptable; it's a violation of fundamental principles and taboos!

But the desire deep in her heart... had become so strong that she could no longer deceive herself!

Ke Qing, have you heard that Chu Mingkong saved Princess Jinyu from the jaws of a ferocious beast?

That night, after a long period of peaceful sleep, she had another dream.

This time, the room was free of those gloomy paintings, and there was no excuse for her to shirk responsibility...

She had a bizarre dream that defied traditional womanly virtues; the man in her dream was Chu Mingkong, and she didn't want to wake up...

I hope the dream is real.

I hope the dream continues.

When she awoke at dawn, all that remained for her was deep regret and the disheveled state of her underwear...

This is what you think about during the day and dream about at night...

------------

Chu Mingkong looked at his stunning sister-in-law in front of him, whose every move exuded charm and passion. Such an exquisite beauty felt inferior because of his hesitation.

He felt somewhat guilty.

Does this make me look like that scoundrel Choi Gap-jin, forcing her to offer herself to him?

That's right. He's not good at planning; he just does what he wants to do.

Taking advantage of this impulse, he bound all the women he immediately thought of to the system's "elderly partners" in one go.

Regret is left for your wiser self later on.

Right now, he's only driven by impulse; all he wants is to rush through the tunnel!

Chu Mingkong pulled Ke Qing into his arms and held her close, his hand on her lower back suddenly reaching down.

"Sister-in-law Keqing, I think I should have caught you sooner, at least I shouldn't have let you suffer this anxiety!"

Ke Qing's pretty face was flushed, alluring and charming, her beautiful eyes filled with a dreamy and intoxicated look. She stared at Chu Mingkong with a dazed expression, her legs already feeling numb and weak.

"In front of Mingkong, I'm probably just a shameless, promiscuous slut... I want to know how beautiful this dream can be... Good man, just give it to me!"

Chu Mingkong picked up Ke Qing and the curtains fell.

The curtains cast graceful silhouettes of figures, sometimes raising their legs high, sometimes contorting into various awkward shapes.

In Chu Mingkong's mind, the distorted filial piety increased rhythmically amidst the fusion and collision of spirit and flesh.

Each collision increases the score by nearly ten points.

"Qing, would you like to rest?"

Keqing struggled to suppress the urge to nod.

"I want to rest... but I'm afraid that when I wake up, the dream will be over."

"I'll have many more dreams like this in the future."

--------

P.S.: That's all for today's three updates. I'll organize the plot for the rest of the story, and then... review some older books by predecessors for inspiration.

Chapter Sixty-Four: This is a proper cultivation robe (34/43)

Chu Mingkong was physically strong and had an extremely strong recovery ability. Although he worked until midnight, he only dozed off for a short while before waking up.

He lay on the bed, holding his sister-in-law Keqing in his arms. She was exhausted and fast asleep. Her slender body was as soft as mud, and she didn't even have the strength to turn over in her sleep.

Chu Mingkong gently turned her body over and could hear her soft moans of discomfort, as well as her subconscious shaking of her head in pleading.

"My dear ancestors, my dear husband... let me rest a bit, I'm about to be tormented..."

This sister-in-law was simply too alluring in bed, and coupled with her lack of cultivation, it was mainly because Chu Mingkong couldn't control himself.

Just as he had anticipated before he picked up Ke Qing,

He now,

Responsible for the frustration and regret in Sage Mode.

The first regret is naturally that I made the beauty overwork herself and her spirit.

In the cultivation world, there are many cases of scoundrels from the Hehuan Sect overdoing their dual cultivation practices and ending up with their lives. The Hehuan Sect is actually relatively rare, as it is a legitimate dual cultivation sect. Some wicked cultivators who have gone astray love to do this kind of thing.

There's clearly no need to take lives or silence witnesses, yet they're still not satisfied with just seeing lives taken.

Previously, Chu Mingkong's targets were all people with cultivation, such as Jin Yu and Shangguan Rong. Apart from Zhong Feihuang, most of the wives in the Cui family had no cultivation... Aunt Gu now has some cultivation, since she introduced her to the family before.

The second source of regret was that he had used up all the binding slots in the system. In a moment of impulsiveness, he bound all the women he could think of to the system!

Chu Mingkong was so regretful he turned pale!

Why didn't I bind it sooner?!

After a brief emotional exchange between the uncle and sister-in-law last night, Chu Mingkong suddenly gained 4000 points of corrupted filial piety overnight.

Just one night.

Not completing that temporary task is nothing to regret.

Where does this distorted filial piety come from... cough cough.

If you talk back to an elder, you get a reward, usually around 5 to 15 points. Your filial piety fluctuates depending on how the elder feels after being talked back to.

Although the amount given at once was small, Chu Mingkong's attack speed was too fast.

One of the reasons Chu Mingkong lost control mid-air last night was because he was focused on the system.

If it weren't for the fact that filial piety had reached its limit within this cycle, Chu Mingkong wouldn't have realized he should stop.

If he had tied himself to an elder's partner earlier, he could have earned a lot of filial piety when he used the Hehuan Dew to cure the poison. He could have earned filial piety from Jinyu and Rong'er.

People like Jinyu and Rong'er are a year or two older than him, so he can be considered as an older sister.

"Let me see who they're all linked to?"

Zuo Qiuchi, Gu Jungui, Jinyu, Shangguan Rong, Madam Zhen, Yongzhen, Feng Keqing, Zhong Feihuang, Consort Wan.

To be honest, Chu Mingkong remembered that he seemed to want to link Feng Ying, the Dog Empress, Xiao Yunhan, and Princess Xiao, who was also his nominal mother, to her.

But there are no spots left...

The women I had been in contact with recently immediately came to mind, so I immediately bound them to them.

"My mother could be said to have acted impulsively and out of her mind, but what was my mindset at the time that led me to try putting the dog empress inside...?"

Chu Mingkong, in a state of sage mode, tries to understand his own state of mind when he acts impulsively.

"Oh, I remember now. At the time, I was thinking of using this elder's location to keep track of her position at any time. As long as she wasn't in the central palace, I would kidnap her to vent my anger!"

That's incredibly impulsive; such thinking is truly brainless and doesn't consider the risks.

However, we can bind to Fengying and see where she is.

Chu Mingkong glanced at how much more filial piety he needed to break through to the next level... still a little over 3000 points short.

I really want to talk back to my elders again, ugh... to show them respect for one more night.

He quickly communicated with the system: "System, I've been trying to be filial to my elders these past two days. Could you please max out your level in one go? I prefer to be at the maximum level before I leave the mountain."

The system's ruthless voice echoed in my mind.

No! The limit has been reached for the amount of filial piety that can be gained through specific intimate methods in the short term!

Chu Mingkong loathed this approach, and his fist hardened instantly, startling Ke Qing, who was still asleep, into trembling.

"I could easily grind all the elders' levels to the maximum in one go, so why is there a cap!"

Filial piety is a consistent and long-term practice. It can be a heartfelt gesture to surprise elders, but it should not be a spur-of-the-moment act of showing respect.

You're trying to gain distorted filial piety in one fell swoop through this method—is that really filial piety? It's nothing but self-interest!

Chu Mingkong was speechless. What you said makes so much sense that I have no way to refute it!

The system continued its sermon:

Filial piety points are a reward for your filial piety. They can be a means for you to better fulfill your filial duties, but they should not be the purpose of fulfilling your filial duties.

It's about the process, not the result.

Your result should make your elders satisfied and happy with your filial piety.
