Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 474: Chapter 267: Qin Mengxuan: Since They’re Already Here...

「Zhao Family Territory.」

In the Inner Study, Ling Changqing put down his Talisman Pen and let out a slow breath. A hint of fatigue appeared on his handsome, jade-like face.

On the wide Azure Jade Table, several Jade Boxes were filled with completed Third Grade and Quasi Rank Four Talismans. There was no shortage of types, including attack, Defense, escape, and concealment.

"You’ve worked hard, Husband!"

Dressed in a snow-white gown, the bright and lovely Zhao Wanyi said with a beaming smile, handing him an Elixir with her delicate hand.

Ling Changqing took it and swallowed. The warm medicinal power dissolved, smoothly merging into his organs and bones as his depleted Essence, Qi, and Spirit rapidly recovered.

"What’s the situation with the war on the Saint Yu Immortal Dynasty’s side?"

Ling Changqing asked. He had been so busy making Talismans these past few days that he felt like he had been shutting out the world.

Behind him, Zhao Wanqing, who was massaging his shoulders, said softly:

"Things have quieted down for a while. It’s mainly because too many troublesome characters have snuck in. Both the Taiqing Divine Dynasty and the Saint Yu Immortal Dynasty have grown suspicious, so they’ve decided to halt all plans and observe the situation for now..."

Under Xia Qingying’s orders, the High Rank Cultivators of the Da Xia Divine Dynasty had been running rampant across Yuzhou for months as if they’d gone mad. Cultivators from other continents hadn’t been idle either.

This abnormal behavior immediately put all of Yuzhou’s native factions on high alert, and they all raised the security levels of their territories.

Due to the fruitless repeated searches and the constraining influence of various factions, the Da Xia Divine Dynasty’s cultivators eventually had to pull back, with most of them withdrawing from Yuzhou.

However, Xia Qingying would certainly not be content to return empty-handed. It was unknown if she would make another move.

Under these uncertain circumstances, the high command of the Taiqing Divine Dynasty in Yaozhou already felt it was necessary to re-evaluate their strategic plans. If the situation didn’t permit it, they wouldn’t rule out the possibility of ending the war early.

Losing a battle wasn’t so terrible. What was truly terrifying was having someone else reap the benefits without even realizing it.

Therefore, the upper echelons of the Saint Yu Immortal Dynasty, the Cui and Mu Families, and the Taiqing Divine Dynasty had been in secret contact these past few days.

"It seems like a full-blown war probably won’t break out then, right?"

Ling Changqing mused.

Zhao Wanyi shook her head. "Not necessarily. The Cui and Mu Families have paid such a heavy price, and the casualties for the Taiqing and Saint Yu Immortal Dynasties are not insignificant either. None of them have gotten what they wanted. How could it be so easy to stop?"

War is no child’s play. Tens of thousands of cultivators have died, vast fortunes in resources have been turned to nothing, and the casualties among mortals are even more staggering. Neither side can back down so easily.

Furthermore, the Cui and Mu Families, having completely sided with a foreign enemy, won’t be let off the hook by Yuzhou’s native factions. A reckoning is inevitable.

In any case, the Yuzhou Cultivation Realm was unlikely to see peace anytime soon.

"Oh well. None of this has anything to do with us. We don’t need to worry about it for now."

As Ling Changqing spoke, he leaned back gently, resting his head on Zhao Wanqing’s vast, magnificent bosom, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

The beauty chided him playfully, a blush rising on her lovely face as she gently hugged him to her.

Zhao Wanyi shot him a playful glare, then her voluptuous figure slipped under the table. With practiced ease, she unfastened the front of his grand robes, lowered her head, and began to massage his legs.

A few days later, Ling Qiyue sent a message saying that Liu Ying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan had visited again, asking Ling Changqing to make a trip back.

Ling Changqing was a little puzzled. Both women had ways to contact him directly, but instead of informing him, they had gone straight to Li Long Continent to wait. He had no idea what they were up to.

But considering the time, he had been away long enough. It was time to go home and see them. Tang Qiu Yao and the other women were all waiting to cultivate with him.

And so, after another passionate encounter with Shangguan Qingying, Ling Changqing left her resources worth thirty thousand top grade Spirit Stones and returned to the Chixue Sea Region with the two sisters.

「Li Long Continent, Family Headquarters.」

"...Husband, you’re in for a big surprise this time!"

In the Inner Garden Flower Hall, Tang Qiu Yao, dressed in a bright red palace gown that made her look elegant and bewitching, watched Ling Changqing walk in. She raised a slender, willow-leaf eyebrow and spoke with a teasing smile.

Ling Qiyue, Xue Qingtan, Meng Feiyu, Qin Yun, Ling Bingyun, and Mu Yunxiu were all present, and they all looked at him with somewhat complicated expressions.

At this moment, Bai Qingyi, Luo Qingxuan, Yu Yalan, Yu Ruoshuang, and the sisters Zhao Wanyi and Zhao Wanqing all followed him inside. A crowd of beauties surrounded him, their faint fragrances filling the air.

???

Ling Changqing turned his head in confusion and saw Liu Ying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan sitting to the side, smiling cheerfully.

In the spacious and extravagant flower hall was a group of unfamiliar women. Each was splendidly dressed and radiant, true nation-toppling beauties.

Pairs of sparkling, limpid eyes turned to the handsome, purple-robed young man who had just walked in, their gazes filled with unconcealed passion.

"Husband, you’ve made us search so hard for you..."

A graceful and beautiful woman in red, with a seductive and bewitching figure, stepped forward and said with a plaintive look.

"It’s you..."

Ling Changqing looked closely and realized she was Liu Ying Meng Luan. And the stunningly beautiful, aloof woman in white beside her, whose skin was fairer than snow, was undoubtedly Liu Ying Bingchan.

At this point, Ling Changqing finally understood why the atmosphere in the room was so strange.

So Qin Mengxuan and the other woman had acted first and reported later, secretly digging this pit for him to fall into.

"Husband, it’s like this..."

Liu Ying Ziying rose gracefully, looking rather embarrassed as she began to explain the whole story.
