"But you two were clearly enjoying it, too..."
Before Ling Changqing could finish, a sharp pain in his side made him suck in a breath of cold air.
"Alright, I’ll stop talking!"
Looking at his two indignant and embarrassed wives, Ling Changqing wisely conceded.
"You have to spend more time with me from now on," Flow Shadow Ice Cicada huffed, her face blushing as she whispered. "My accumulation is about to reach Great Perfection, and I’m just waiting to break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm!"
Of the twenty-eight beauties who had come this time, she was the only one who wasn’t a Nascent Soul True Monarch—though that was, of course, due to her youth.
"Mm, alright."
Ling Changqing agreed.
After cuddling for a while longer, the two women helped Ling Changqing get out of bed and took him to the hot spring bath next door for a quick rinse.
During that time, the two women took turns massaging Ling Changqing’s legs and shoulders, tending to him so attentively he was lost in bliss. It was a good while before their playful fussing finally quieted down.
After they had finished getting ready and dressed, they walked out of the bridal chamber. The maids waiting outside immediately arranged for an exquisite lunch to be served.
It was lunch because it was already noon.
Fortunately, all the other women knew Ling Changqing’s temperament and didn’t come to disturb them; otherwise, the two of them would have been too embarrassed to face anyone.
In the afternoon, Ling Changqing didn’t go anywhere else. He stayed in the Inner Study, chatting with the two women and trying all sorts of indescribable, private games.
It wasn’t until evening that Song Xuelan came over to invite Ling Changqing and the two women to the evening banquet.
After the banquet, the ones who came to attend to him in bed were Liu Ying Meng Luan and a beautiful young woman with a saintly bearing and long, jade-like legs. When she took off her fiery red wedding dress, her sinfully alluring curves made it nearly impossible for Ling Changqing to look away.
She was Zhao Qingzi, the first and most cherished disciple of Qin Mengxuan, as well as the First Saintess of Lu Hua Palace. She currently possessed a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivation.
Over the next half-month, all twenty-eight beauties had their wishes fulfilled, consummating their relationships with Ling Changqing.
However, the thirty new Immortal Seeds that Ling Qiyue had arranged for him could not be neglected either; he had to bestow his favor upon each of them in turn.
Thus, for that entire month, Ling Changqing was a new groom every night, enjoying the supreme treatment of an earthly emperor.
It was indeed exhilarating, but thinking about the days to come, Ling Changqing still felt a great deal of pressure. After all, he didn’t have three heads and six arms; even the most vigorous person has their limits.
Considering there were no longer any large-scale battles in the heartlands of Yuzhou, Ling Changqing stayed home, his mind at ease, to accompany the women and help them raise their Cultivation.
Upon learning that Su Qinglian was an Artifact Dao Grandmaster, Ling Changqing—who had never had the chance to study the Path of Artifact Refining—immediately made a request.
Su Qinglian naturally wouldn’t refuse to be his guide, and she immediately and dutifully took on the role of a teacher.
Su Qinglian was certainly delighted by the chance to spend more time with Ling Changqing and deepen their mutual affection.
「Several months later.」
Flow Shadow Ice Cicada’s accumulation reached Great Perfection. She entered seclusion and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
Next, the Cultivation of Tang Qiu Yao and Mu Yunxiu reached a bottleneck. Under Ling Changqing’s protection, they entered seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
After them came Qin Yun, Yu Youqin, and Fu Yin Xue. Under Ling Changqing’s protection, the three women also successfully fulfilled their wishes.
Based on their natural Spirit Root Talent, they would have had no chance of reaching this stage without hundreds of years of arduous cultivation; in fact, they might never have reached it in their entire lives.
However, the continuous nourishment from the Child of Destiny subtly transformed their innate talent, allowing them to defy fate and undergo a complete, bone-deep metamorphosis.
In just over a year, the Ling Family gained six new Nascent Soul True Monarchs in one fell swoop—Tang Qiu Yao, Qin Yun, Fu Yin Xue, Yu Youqin, Mu Yunxiu, and Flow Shadow Ice Cicada—and their strength soared.
