Free Web NovelChapter 461: Chapter 262: Da Xia Goddess Empress: Something’s Not Right With You...
Liu Ying Ziyi stayed on the Li Long Continent for a full month, only reluctantly ending her visit when a trusted Elder from her family sent a message urging her to return and take charge of matters.
Naturally, the entire month was spent in continuous Cultivation with Ling Changqing, not a single moment wasted. It could be said that this stunningly beautiful woman had a very "fulfilling" time.
But the other women couldn’t possibly let her monopolize Ling Changqing, so later, Qin Mengxuan, Yu Ruoshuang, Ling Qiyue, and Zhao Wanyi joined in to Cultivate with them.
As a result, Ling Changqing hadn’t stepped out of the bedchambers for the entire month. While he experienced the utmost pleasure, he was also squeezed dry to the brink of utter exhaustion.
Fortunately, both Liu Ying Ziyi and Qin Mengxuan had foreseen this. They had long since prepared a host of Grade Four Elixirs and Spirit Wine ingredients to restore his Primordial Qi, ensuring Ling Changqing would not run out of steam.
By the time the flushed and radiant Liu Ying Ziyi had straightened her dress and was leaving the bedchambers on Ling Changqing’s arm, his steps were unsteady. He felt as if his very bones had lost several pounds.
He was exhausted, to be sure, but his romantic fortune was the kind that hundreds of millions of Cultivators dreamed of their entire lives yet could never obtain. There was no need to be dramatic about it.
"...Husband, you should focus on your Cultivation at home. In a year... no, I’ll find a chance to come back and keep you company in half a year!"
The deeply satisfied Liu Ying Ziyi spoke softly, her lustrous eyes practically overflowing with seductive charm.
"Mm, o-okay." freёwebnoѵel.com
Ling Changqing agreed weakly. If Qin Mengxuan and Liu Ying Ziyi weren’t supporting him on either side, he would have been too unsteady to walk.
Fortunately, as the Elixirs he had taken began to work, waves of heat surged from his abdomen into his organs and meridians, spreading through his limbs and restoring his body at a visible rate.
The Era Star Palace in his Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly, and streams of Essence of Spiritual Qi imbued with a mysterious, profound Dao Rhyme descended from the void, merging unimpeded into his Divine Soul Origin.
Thanks to this, after only a few dozen breaths, the handsome, purple-robed young man—with a face as fair as jade and eyes as dark as lacquer—was back to his full, vigorous self.
’...Huh? My husband is actually this vigorous?’
Seeing this, Liu Ying Ziyi, who had been feeling a bit guilty just a moment ago, suddenly looked flustered.
Earlier in the bedchambers, Qin Mengxuan had even pleaded on his behalf, saying they shouldn’t overwork their husband. After all, his current Cultivation was limited, so it was best to practice moderation.
’But now it seems that wasn’t the case at all, was it? As expected of the legendary Child of Destiny.’
’Since this guy is so capable, I’ll have to make him work hard from now on, right?’
Qin Mengxuan shot her a look, then turned away and said with a charming smile:
"The situation in the Yuzhou heartland is a bit complicated right now. Many Cultivators from other major continents have infiltrated the area. Husband, you mustn’t get involved rashly. Just stay home and relax!
If you need any special resources, just let us sisters know. Don’t go looking to buy things from those few commerce associations." freewebnσvel.cøm
"Mm, I know."
Ling Changqing replied. ’To avoid letting the three major commerce associations see through our family’s true strength, I really do need to be more careful about this in the future.’
’The Xingyun Sun Commerce Association is still manageable; after all, the local branch is run by Xue Qingtan, so I can trust them. But the Illusory Treasure Pavilion and the Gathering Sea Pavilion are a different story.’
’Once the Cultivators from those two factions notice something is amiss, it likely won’t be long before they start selling intelligence about the Ling Family through special channels.’
After chatting for a while longer, Liu Ying Ziyi and Qin Mengxuan boarded the Flying Ship together, rose into the sky, and flew off, soon disappearing over the horizon.
Ling Changqing returned to the Inner Study to find Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiu Yao, and the other women still at work. Of course, they were much less busy than before and no longer completely swamped.
All the family’s internal affairs were now on the right track, and with no new battles to fight, all they needed to do was manage and develop things step-by-step.
"You’ve all worked hard, my ladies!"
Ling Changqing walked over, put his arm around Ling Qiyue for a kiss, and casually sat down beside her.
Ling Qiyue huffed softly and tossed him several Jade Scrolls shimmering with Spiritual Light.
"This details the current state of the family’s resource reserves, the budget for upcoming expenses, and the new standards for resource allocation. Why don’t you take a look as well, Husband?"
"Alright."
Ling Changqing agreed, opening a Jade Scroll to examine its contents.
The family had newly acquired an entire, wealthy sea region, complete with countless valuable industries and trillions of mortal subjects. As a result, their financial income had increased explosively.
To say nothing of the other benefits, the value of the assets and resources left behind in the stockpiles of the former powers alone exceeded thirty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones.
This didn’t even include the numerous Cultivation Technique and Divine Technique Scriptures they left behind. Although Ling Changqing himself didn’t think much of them, they were perfect for nurturing the family’s low and mid-level disciples once they were sorted and stored in the Merit Reward Hall.
Back in the Feiyu Sea Region, the Ling Family’s entire annual income had been equivalent to a mere three thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, sixty percent of which came in the form of physical resources.
Of course, this didn’t include the side income Ling Changqing brought in himself. With his special abilities, the Deep Sea Ocean was practically his private garden; whenever he was short on funds, he could go and plunder its depths.
But now, the Ling Family’s annual income was equivalent to over twenty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones.
This was not surprising. After all, the Chixue Sea Region had been managed by those powers for hundreds, even thousands of years. Its prosperity far surpassed that of the Feiyu Sea Region, and with its many sources of Quasi-Rank Four and Rank-Four resources, its foundation was much stronger.
