Chapter 574 - 310: Liu Ying Ziyi: How Can You Be So Partial?

Shangguan Qingying was overjoyed, but also a little embarrassed to face the Zhao Wanyi sisters. After all, she had originally pinned her hopes on the twins, never imagining she would be the first to conceive.

When her daughter was born, it would be awkward for them to greet each other.

’Perhaps in the future, we’ll just have to interact on our own separate terms?’

"My love, when will you give us some good news too?"

Lying beside him, Song Qingyan pouted flirtatiously. Although they were newcomers, they also hoped to bear Ling Changqing’s child, which would increase their importance in his heart.

Ling Changqing was speechless. "This kind of thing depends on fate. You can’t force it. What can I do?"

"Then you should be more diligent, Husband! The right thing to do is spend more time with us! One day our wish will come true."

The naked Xue Yuqing crawled over on all fours, her voluptuous and enchanting body hugging him tightly.

"Alright, I’ll do my best!"

Ling Changqing said, gently stroking her large, round bottom.

「Three days and three nights later」

Ling Changqing finally got dressed and walked out of the inner chamber of his bed-palace, surrounded by a crowd of beauties.

To stabilize the situation in the territory and prevent the vassal forces from taking desperate measures, the Zhao Wanyi sisters would also stay behind this time and not leave with Ling Changqing.

This way, the Zhao Family would have Shangguan Qingying, a Divinity Transformation expert, and five Nascent Soul True Monarchs holding the fort. Coupled with the upgraded Protective Array of the family headquarters, ensuring their safety would not be a problem.

As for Jin Yuexi, Song Qingyan, and Xue Yuqing, the three women were determined to return to the Linsha Sea Region with Ling Changqing, leaving only fifty Golden Core Female Cultivators from Zuiyun Pavilion to help guard the Zhao Family’s territory.

However, after some thought, Shangguan Qingying still arranged for ten Female Cultivators from the Zhao Family to accompany Ling Changqing. They all had Golden Core Cultivation. Among them, Zhao Qinglu and Zhao Yinfrost were already in the Late stage Golden Core, not far from the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.

As long as Ling Changqing did not neglect them, the Zhao Family would gain two more Nascent Soul True Monarchs in a few years.

After they finished talking, Ling Changqing brought the crowd of beauties into the Era Star Palace Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. He then activated the Instant Teleportation Divine Techniques of the Bian Wujian Gate and vanished before the eyes of Shangguan Qingying and the other women.

When his vision returned to normal, he was surrounded by the familiar landscape of the Linsha Continent.

"...My love!"

Along with surprised cries that were seductive to the bone, several warm, delicate bodies rushed forward and crashed into his arms.

Ling Xueyu, Ling Bingyun, Song Xuelan, Li Hanyou, and Xiao Meiniang appeared one after another.

"So you finally decided to grace us with your presence!"

After a long, tender moment, the women reluctantly let go. Song Xuelan, his head Maid, spoke with a hint of resentment.

Ling Changqing smiled and placated them one by one. He had indeed been away for quite some time, so it was only natural to properly coax his wives at home.

Riding his Escape Light, he returned to the family headquarters with the women. Ling Qiyue, Ling Yulu, and Xue Qingtan had also received the news and came out to greet him.

In the luxurious Inner Garden Flower Hall, a crowd of beauties had gathered. All were dressed in their finest attire—hairpins and jewelry, vibrant skirts and blouses—a dazzling display of splendor that was almost overwhelming.

What surprised Ling Changqing somewhat was that the three big shots—Ziyunxi, Qin Mengxuan, and Liu Ying Ziyi—were also present.

They had all been at their respective sect’s headquarters, but as soon as they heard the news of Ling Changqing’s impending return, they immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed over.

"...Husband, you’re finally back. How long do you plan to stay home this time?"

The elegant, charming, and imposing Ling Qiyue asked with a smile.

Ling Changqing said gently, "It’ll have to be for a few years, right? We’ll see after you’ve advanced to Divinity Transformation, my dear."

As the Patriarch of the Ling Family and his most favored Dao Companion, Ling Qiyue’s Cultivation was now at the Late stage Nascent Soul. Of course, her rapid advancement was also partly thanks to their daughter, Ling Shuanghua.

"That’s good to hear."

Hearing this, the women breathed a sigh of relief. Their Cultivation had stagnated for too long, and they were all waiting for Ling Changqing to return and help them.

"Husband must have worked very hard while you were away,"

the noble, elegant, and breathtakingly beautiful Ziyunxi said with a beaming smile. "Why don’t we start the banquet first? After we’ve eaten and drunk our fill, we can discuss the scriptures and the Dao?"

"An excellent idea."

Qin Mengxuan immediately agreed. She hadn’t seen him in several years and had truly missed the guy.

In the adjacent hall, a lavish banquet had already been prepared. Ling Changqing and his many beauties took their seats and began to exchange toasts and feast heartily.

During the meal, Ling Changqing briefly recounted his experiences outside. There was no need to hide these matters from them.

"Alright then, Husband, you’ll first drink three jars of wine as a forfeit. Tonight, we’ll discuss how you can make it up to us sisters!"

Liu Ying Ziyi said with a radiant smile.

Bai Qingyi silently pushed over three large, unopened wine jars that shimmered with Spiritual Light. They contained the potent Spirit Wine, Drunken Dragon Brew, from the Deep Sea Dragon Palace.

This stuff was certainly good, but if one drank too much, even the Physique of a Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn’t handle it.

Ling Changqing’s scalp tingled. "My dear wives, surely it hasn’t come to this?"

"And why not?"

Liu Ying Ziyi said through gritted teeth. They could overlook other things, but the fact that Shangguan Qingying also had good news was something they couldn’t get over.

They were all his Dao Companions, so how could he show such favoritism?

When Ling Qiyue gave birth to his first daughter, it had left the other beauties feeling conflicted and resentful for a long time. And now there was another one? How could they tolerate this?

"Fine, I’ll drink, alright?"

Ling Changqing said helplessly. He broke the Sealing Talisman on the wine jars and began to drink in large gulps.

The high-potency Spirit Wine went down his throat, and soon Ling Changqing’s mind grew hazy. He chatted with the women, speaking nonsensically.

By the end, he didn’t even know when the banquet had ended. He only remembered being helped into the bed-palace by the women, and then having his clothes stripped off.

The ensuing amorous scene is not for outsiders to know...

An unknown amount of time passed. When Ling Changqing’s mind cleared again, he found the stunningly beautiful Gong Ling, with her bright eyes and pearly teeth, sitting on top of him.

In his sea of consciousness, a message exuding a mysterious Dao Rhyme silently appeared:

After these years of arduous Cultivation, Ling Changqing’s Cultivation was still steadily improving, though he was still some distance from the Late stage Nascent Soul.

Especially after obtaining a large amount of Demon Beast Core resources, he now had enough Lifespan to raise all his major Art Skills, like Pill Talisman Array, to the Rank Four High Grade level.

’Now that my Lifespan is abundant, perhaps I can consider learning a few more practical Art Skills?’

Furthermore, Ling Changqing’s Primary Cultivation Technique, the Five Elements Origin Secret Manual, and his Sword Cultivation Technique Scriptures had both advanced by a floor. His other Cultivation Techniques had also seen various degrees of improvement, further enhancing his overall combat power.

"Master, there’s no hurry for that,"

Gong Ling said. "You can never have too much Lifespan. You can’t just squander it wantonly. You’ll need it for many things in the future!"

It was not uncommon in the Cultivation Realm to see High Rank Cultivators who were careless with their lives when they were young, wasting them as they pleased, only to find themselves with no hope of a Realm Breakthrough in their old age, forcing them to desperately gather Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to extend their lives.

"You’re right. Let’s leave it at that for now!"

Ling Changqing agreed. There was no harm in listening to her opinion on such matters.
