Dance Of The Dragons

Chapter 539: Chapter 539 : (Extra) Jiang Muchen’s Love Story (23)

Shi Qingyue sucked in a deep breath and shot both alphas a round of scorching glares.

"Perverted scums!" She jabbed a finger in Zhou Guiying’s direction at first, and then her finger slowly moved to the right.

"I am not a perverted scum!" Jiang Muchen cried out in horror. "I am here to... I just want to..."

Zhou Guiying craned his neck full of curiosity.

Shi Qingyue stared at Jiang Muchen, her brows furrowed in confusion.

"I just..."

Jiang Muchen swallowed hard. What was he, a five-year-old boy? He was thirty years old! Thirty! Alphas his age already sired three to five children! Why couldn’t he speak about this matter openly???

Seeing that Jiang Muchen was unable to finish even a single sentence, Zhou Guiying shook his head and sighed.

"Wife, you are too insensitive. Honorable alphas have things they need to talk about in private. Let me take him to Coral Reef Town... eh? What are you doing?"

Silently, Shi Qingyue pushed their children toward her husband one by one. The little merboys and mergirls happily clung to their fathers like starfishes clinging to coral reefs.

Shi Qingyue let out a breathy snort, her eyes gleaming with self-satisfaction.

"You know what, Zhou Guiying? You haven’t spent enough time with your grown children. Xiao Wu* had just been born. Kindly introduce her to her elder siblings."

"... Why me?"

They already split up the tasks between them.

Zhou Guiying’s job was to brood the eggs. After the eggs hatched, the merchildren would be handed over to Shi Qingyue to raise.

Naturally, with no eggs to brood, Zhou Guiying planned to enjoy his free days in full swing.

"Because I need to stretch my legs and accompany my old friend to the surface," Shi Qingyue happily announced.

"..... I also want..."

"If you refuse to take care of the children for one day, I am going to submit a complaint to Brother-in-law."

Zhou Guizheng was not only a good ruler but also a good father. He just recently passed a new law that required the merfathers to spend more time rearing their young than fooling around above the water’s surface.

"Shi Qingyue, you..."

Shi Qingyue did not forget to cuddle her newborn girl before pushing her back into Zhou Guiying’s arms and whisking Jiang Muchen away.

"Xiao Wu, Mommy loves you very much. Give Mommy a day to relax. Mommy will be back with you in an instant!"

The little newborn girl merely gurgled in response.

Just like every other heavenly creature that could not survive underwater, Shi Qingyue and Jiang Muchen had to utilize gigantic air bubbles to move between Qingyuan Palace and the water’s surface.

"Oh, this is SOOOO amazing," Shi Qingyue gushed. "I have been trapped down there for years! I can’t wait to go out and have fun again!"

Jiang Muchen was glad that his visit to Qingyuan Palace brought Shi Qingyue some moment of respite, but his own pressing issue also needed addressing.

"Hey, Shi Qingyue, actually, I really need to talk to your husband..." Jiang Muchen urgently said as they were floating toward the surface.

"Anything you need to ask him, you can ask me," Shi Qingyue snapped. "In fact, that fool is not as smart as you think. He might even lead you astray."

"Uh..."

Jiang Muchen swallowed hard. He would agree with Shi Qingyue in many, many occasions, but he knew for a fact that no one could beat Zhou Guiying in his knowledge about bedding omegas and escaping the ensuing responsibilities.

In short, if Zhou Guiying was the second most debauched alpha throughout the three realms, no one would dare call himself the first.

"What do you want to know anyway?" Shi Qingyue inquired, curiosity tickling at her heart.

"Uh... that is..."

Jiang Muchen scratched at the side of his head. After hesitating for a while, he decided to be an adult and say it out loud.

"I need to know the proper way to dual-cultivate with an omega without impregnating her."

He expected to receive a judgmental stare from Shi Qingyue, but the latter unexpectedly broke into a scoff. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"And you went to Zhou Guiying to get this piece of information? Fools. The first dual cultivation manual hails from Ling’an Palace."

Oh.

Jiang Muchen did not know that. Not that he specifically sought this information in the past.

They soon arrived at the water’s surface, upon which the gigantic air bubbles burst into a million tiny water droplets, releasing them from their confines.

"Sooo..."

Shi Qingyue waddled past the rushing water at her legs, heading toward dry land.

"Are we talking about a certain omega wolf, whom you took back to Shuiran Palace?"

Jiang Muchen let out a disdainful harrumph.

"How come you all heard about it? You haven’t been to the Golden Dragon Palace for years."

Shi Qingyue giggled.

"How come we heard about it? My brother-in-law goes in and out of Golden Dragon Palace every day and brings us a lot of news from heaven."

"..."

Jiang Muchen could understand if Zhou Guizheng shared important news with his clansmen, but why did he also share inconsequential gossips about him and Liu Chengjiu?

"You even went to the Heavenly Emperor, asking for an imperial decree to marry your omega. Why don’t you want him to get pregnant? And why dual cultivation? He doesn’t cultivate, does he?"

Jiang Muchen sighed.

Certainly, he needed to share several facts with Shi Qingyue in order for her to help him out.

They went to a famous tea house in the Coral Reef Town, and Shi Qingyue listened to Jiang Muchen attentively while munching on a piece of persimmon cake.

"You know what," she said after a while. "I know the right person who can help you -- our Ling’an Palace Master, Yang Jiali. In order to secure strong offsprings, Ling’an Palace Masters typically dual-cultivate with their wives for a long time before siring said offsprings. That would require them to not impregnate their wives before the time comes."
