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

That's right, that's very people-oriented!

Chu Mingkong began to miss the aloof and silent system of the past; this current system was as talkative as a mother hen...

"So, when will this limit be refreshed?"

[A cycle repeats every seven days.]

Weekly tasks, right?

System, you've given us weekly tasks, why not give us a daily task?

After he finished lecturing, the system seemed to run out of power and ignored him.

Chu Mingkong checked his system inventory and found a red gift that he hadn't touched.

The Album of Treasures from Another World

He took it out to study it, but he didn't know what it was for. It was like a blank book, full of blank pages. He couldn't figure it out for a long time.

He asked the system, but the system ignored him.

......

As the rooster crowed outside, signaling the dawn, Sister-in-law Keqing woke up from her bed.

Before Chu Mingkong could reply, her delicate body suddenly sat up, as if she had just woken up abruptly after remembering that she had forgotten something.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Chu Mingkong asked, wrapping her in the blanket.

Keqing stared blankly around. This wasn't her room, and the man's voice behind her told her that last night wasn't a dream.

"No, I'm afraid it really is just a dream... But even if it's a dream, I imagine it's a beautiful dream for me." After saying that, she gasped in pain, only now realizing that her body was hurting.

Last night, Chu Mingkong stretched and pressed my legs in all sorts of positions, and now my whole body aches and feels like it's falling apart.

In fact, Chu Mingkong had already given her a recovery pill, but in order to better absorb the effects of the pill, cultivation level was essential. Ke Qing currently had no cultivation level, so she couldn't absorb even 10% of the pill's power.

Now, Chu Mingkong guessed that she was probably feeling the same way a homebody would after suddenly engaging in strenuous exercise, with sore legs and a sore back.

He laughed and said, "I already said last night that even if it was a dream, I'll have plenty of dreams like this in the future. Do you want to relive it now?"

Keqing picked up the quilt and held it in front of her, her delicate and alluring white body curled up in the corner of the bed. She shook her head repeatedly and pursed her lips, saying:

"I do want to, but Mingkong, you should wait until your sister-in-law has recovered before reminiscing. She can't take it anymore..."

The experience was wonderful, but she was exhausted in the second half.

Seeing her like this, Chu Mingkong was also at a loss. By the time he truly got into the zone, Ke Qing was already exhausted. No wonder those who cultivate beyond the world rarely choose mortals as their spouses.

This is a torment for both male and female cultivators... but it's not necessarily true. I've heard that cultivators from reputable sects gradually lose their passions and desires.

A pure Platonic spiritual companion.

"Sister-in-law Keqing, you're in for a treat from now on."

"......ah?"

Ke Qing didn't understand and stared blankly at her handsome and strong brother-in-law, Chu Mingkong. Her unintentional "Ah" awakened Chu Mingkong's memories of last night, reminding him of her soft, melodious cries of pain.

The blanket covering Chu Mingkong suddenly bulged out.

(Qing Keqing shrinks into the corner in fear.jpg)

She soon came to understand firsthand what true culinary bliss meant.

After Keqing rinsed her mouth and moistened her dry throat, everything in the house returned to normal.

At least their attire is presentable now.

"Do you still want these paintings?" Chu Mingkong pointed to the paintings that exuded a strong sense of water and spirit.

Keqing nodded, pondering with a troubled expression, hesitating with difficulty.

Women raised in a secular society have many rules to follow, and not everyone dares to speak so boldly as Zhong Feihuang. Last night, I thought about it for a long time before finally deciding to come and ask for the painting to be hung. There was an element of impulsiveness in it. Now, in broad daylight, if I ask Keqing to talk about these "inappropriate" things again, she can't bear it.

But in the end, she faced her true feelings, covered her face with a handkerchief, and quietly nodded:

"And hang it back in my room in the East Mansion, which is usually uninhabited. From now on, when we consummate our marriage, let's go to that room together..."

Would you consider this a sex room?

Chu Mingkong put the painting into his storage ring. "I'll hang it up for you in a bit."

Keqing nodded, but very lightly, as if a heavier nod would reveal her inner longing, and be a shameful thing.

She changed the subject and looked at the paintings on the desk.

Qin Keqing knew a little about painting, but she could only roughly paint some flowers and plants, and mostly just appreciate them.

She had never seen anything like it before... a charcoal drawing, and the person in the drawing was still her.

Although there weren't many colors, only the gray-black of charcoal and the plain white of the paper, in Keqing's eyes, this was the most beautiful painting!

"This drawing is wonderful! I've never seen anyone draw with charcoal before! I think... I'll keep this drawing as a collectible."

"Take it if you want, but these charcoal drawings are not easy to preserve and are easily scratched. You'll have to have someone cover them with glass."

"Good~"

Keqing took the painting with delight, and was reluctant to even roll it up, for fear of damaging it.

She turned to look at another booklet on the desk, which was Chu Mingkong's "Illustrated Book of Treasures from Another World".

"The Record of the Illusion of the Great Void? What kind of book is this? I've never heard of it before." She opened the book and exclaimed, "Wow, the words are so densely packed..."

Chu Mingkong leaned over to take a look, but all he saw was a blank page. There wasn't a single word, not even a scribble.

Could it be that what I see is different from what others see?

"Sister-in-law Keqing, turn to the first few pages, what's written on them?"

If it's a cultivation technique, the first part usually teaches the basics of the body and spiritual meridians.

Ke Qing followed Chu Mingkong's instructions and carefully examined the words on it:

"Are the body's meridians and spiritual channels mentioned in medical books?"

Chu Mingkong nodded and then asked:

"Did it mention the five elements of spiritual energy, or extreme yang and yin?"

"Yes, it was mentioned that the extreme Yang energy and water elemental energy are present."

The Sun-Shaped Technique, Extreme Yang Kung Fu.

Perhaps he will have another layer of extremely yang golden silk protecting him before heading to Tianya City.

"Sister-in-law Keqing, this cultivation technique is destined for you. You are idle at home these days and do not need to deal with the funeral arrangements in the East Mansion. You should practice this technique well, so that your body can become stronger."

Ke Qing said softly, "I'm still a daughter-in-law of the East Mansion... how can I just stop doing chores? The old women will gossip..."

"If anyone dares to gossip, just tell me. If you care so much about the deceased clan chief and his son, I'll send them to their graves. Since you've given me Sister-in-law Keqing, you don't need to worry about your late husband's funeral anymore. Just show up on the day of the funeral."

Now everyone in the East Mansion, from top to bottom, is keeping vigil for the two deceased masters, including the maids, and Keqing is no exception.

Now, Chu Mingkong's words told her to disregard these rules, and this unreasonable domineering attitude was something Ke Qing quite liked.

[System Treasure has arrived, 2050 points of corrupted filial piety.]

This must be a gift of high quality, given with the kind words and filial piety shown earlier, right?

"But I've never cultivated before, I don't understand these things..."

"Aunt Gu understands; she can teach you. Oh, and I'll also give you a robe to help you with your spiritual practice, Sister-in-law Keqing."

Chu Mingkong mentally opened the filial piety blind box and used ordinary filial piety to draw several ten-pulls, all of which were blue sky and white clouds.

It's just that when you're down on your luck, even getting a low-quality gift is a struggle. After three rounds of ten-pulls, you still haven't gotten a single one of those transparent gauze robes that help with cultivation.

It wouldn't be right for Keqing and Aunt Gu to share the same piece of clothing, so they could take turns wearing it, wouldn't it?

As a result, Chu Mingkong spent nearly a thousand points of ordinary filial piety to obtain this cultivation robe.

Fortunately, this is a purple-quality erotic robe, which increases basic cultivation efficiency by 40%.

"Sister-in-law Keqing, please take this. This is a robe to help you with your spiritual practice!"

Feng Keqing lifted the gossamer-thin, almost weightless garment and held it up in front of her...

How am I supposed to wear this? It doesn't cover anything, and why are there two holes cut out on the left and right sides of the breast area?

"...Is this really for cultivation?"

Chu Mingkong's face was full of innocence and integrity.

"Absolutely true!"

"Then, then I will believe what you say, Mingkong." Sister-in-law Keqing's pretty face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

[System Treasure has arrived, 600 points of corrupted filial piety.]

A gift of purple quality is indeed a bit disappointing.

After sending Feng Keqing back to rest, Chu Mingkong pondered what to do now, realizing he needed to cherish his current free time.

After leaving the capital in a few days, it will be quite a while before I can return. Moreover, there are many things I need to prepare before leaving the capital.

"I need to find Madam Zhen. It's been a while since I've managed to get any filial piety from her. I need to hurry up and accumulate some, break through the system, and then use another elder's slot to bind with Feng Ying!"

P.S.: The two chapters have been merged. My old phone, which I use to store novels, broke and cracked... I was also thinking of rereading a novel about a teacher's wife, I think it was called something like "Like a Shadow," but I really forgot the title because it was a short story.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Intercepting the Spoils (35/43)

Yongzhen was very distressed, or rather, the Lady Zhen in her soul was extremely distressed.

Tonight she should return her body to her daughter. Once she does, meeting Chu Mingkong will become somewhat inconvenient and risky.

"I was thinking that he had just killed the Crown Prince and was confined to the study with nothing to do, so he would come over more often these days. But how did he end up injuring the Fifth Prince again?"

However, Jin Yu came to chat with her last night, so this matter cannot be blamed on Chu Mingkong. It was the Fifth Prince who was out of his mind and went to the court to cause trouble.

Suddenly, Yongzhen's face lit up with joy. She sensed Chu Mingkong's presence approaching the courtyard.
