Chapter 166 - 166: Good News _1
Another reason for her to do so was that Su Xiaoyue could bear children, having already given birth to ten and expecting the eleventh soon. Li Ruoyu thought that if they were together, she might have a chance at pregnancy as well.
As Qin Changqing’s first wife, Su Xiaoyue had been with him the longest. As a young lady from a merchant family, she was the most dedicated to managing the Qin family’s business. Because of this, she was more adept at social dealings than the other immortal ladies.
She knew that her husband had been worried about the imparting process, and her intuition told her that it was not because he was lustful, but for another reason.
So after thinking about it for a while, even though she was a little shy, she agreed to Li Ruoyu’s proposal. What do they call the first wife?
This is it!
Putting the big picture first, get it?
Women of this era were familiar with rituals, understood virtues, were considerate, and always thinking about how to help their husbands and plan for the family.
Once Su Xiaoyue agreed, Li Ruoyu decided to go through with it.
When Qin Changqing heard that the impart could be possible, he was overjoyed.
That night, he went to Su Xiaoyue’s room. As soon as he entered, he saw her sitting in front of the dressing table, tending to her hair, apparently having just taken a bath. Her hair was loose, and she wore a light blue silk nightgown that outlined her enchanting figure.
Li Ruoyu was sitting at the tea table, reading a book and occasionally sipping tea, but it was obvious that her mind was not entirely focused on the book.
When Qin Changqing came in, Su Xiaoyue stood up to greet him with a slight smile on her face, appearing poised and elegant. On the other hand, Li Ruoyu stood up quickly with a stiff body, looking like a soldier standing at attention.
“My husband, you’ve finally arrived! Sister Ruoyu has been talking about you all the time,” said Su Xiaoyue with a light laugh.
“I, I haven’t… not really…” Li Ruoyu, who had seen a lot in her life, never thought she would face such a situation. Looking at Su Xiaoyue’s performance, she felt inferior and ashamed to be part of Danqing Pavilion.
So she calmed down and pretended to be natural, saying, “I just never thought about this kind of stuff. Xiaoyue, you were the one talking about having a football team with your husband and having eleven children. Don’t blame it on me.”
Su Xiaoyue smiled, “I want to have a football team for my husband. That’s what he told me back then, and I’ve always remembered it.”
Alright, Li Ruoyu realized that in this aspect, she wasn’t as open and composed as Su Xiaoyue. To have a football team and give birth to so many children required a level of confidence not many could possess.
Qin Changqing chuckled, “We’ll have them all, have them all. We’ve only just started our football team, Xiaoyue. The more you can give birth, the better.”
Su Xiaoyue had recently awakened her Extreme Pregnancy constitution and hadn’t had a chance to try it out yet. Additionally, Qin Changqing himself had one more awakening opportunity, and he was worried about which one to choose, but he didn’t have the motivation to think about it right now.
What could be more important than starting the impart?
Nothing!
Even if the heavens were to shatter, it wouldn’t stop him from starting the impart!
“Alright, I’ll do as you say, husband.” Su Xiaoyue smiled softly. Seeing that Li Ruoyu was still struggling with shame and indecision, she took the initiative to help Qin Changqing undress when the moment came so as not to disappoint her husband.
The night deepened, and the warm candlelight reflected on their bodies. As the atmosphere intensified, Li Ruoyu gradually became more comfortable and less shy.
She watched Qin Changqing and Su Xiaoyue, and slowly joined them, the three not choosing to dual-cultivate but rather explore the most suitable state under this ‘novel’ feeling.
Bang!
The door suddenly burst open, and Xi’er stood angrily at the door, complaining, “You guys are starting the impart without me!”
The trio: .
Half a month later, the Qin family received great news.
Su Xiaoyue and Li Ruoyu were both pregnant!
The ladies of the Qin Mansion were shocked.Su Xiaoyue’s pregnancy was as ordinary as a sow getting pregnant—nothing phenomenal. They didn’t even bat an eye.
However, when Li Ruoyu became pregnant, it was truly a shock to everyone.
“Turns out Sister Ruoyu can also conceive. I thought she would be like Senior Sister Lingshuang and couldn’t…” Bai Yan, who was speaking, suddenly looked around and quietly sighed in relief when she noticed that Qin Lingshuang wasn’t present.
“At least she’s pregnant now; otherwise, Sister Ruoyu would’ve been so worried.”
“Now it’s Senior Sister Lingshuang’s turn to be worried to death.”
“No big deal, Senior Sister Lingshuang is still in closed-door training, and she doesn’t know about this.”
“Should I go to her room and tell her the good news?”
“Xi’er, you’ll get a beating if you do that.”
Everyone else had become pregnant, including the newcomers to the Qin Mansion, except for Qin Lingshuang. If anyone dared to mention it now, swish swish swish, they’d be cut in half by her Selfless Sword Intent.
So, everyone wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.
Li Ruoyu was delighted by her pregnancy. After learning of it, she immediately took out a pile of elixirs and gave them to Su Xiaoyue. Although it seemed unrelated to Su Xiaoyue, cultivators believed in fate. There was an unknown force in this world, and the elixirs turned out to be effective.
“After the child is born, I’ll find Sister Xiaoyue for help again,” thought Li Ruoyu secretly.
In any case, with their examples, or rather, with Lingtong as a pioneer, the Qin Mansion fully embarked upon the era of imparting knowledge.
As a consequence, Qin Changqing became increasingly busy from morning to dusk.
As for Ye MO no longer caring about Qin Changqing’s delay in alchemy, it didn’t matter as long as Qin Changqing was making progress. However, Ye MO felt that Qin Changqing was being a little dishonest, always hiding something from everyone. After teaching him alchemy for so long, he was still that useless. It was clear that Qin Changqing had made progress but didn’t want to reveal it.
Ye MO even guessed that Qin Changqing’s actual alchemy level might be higher than Tier 4 Mid-level, otherwise, his alchemy success rate wouldn’t be so high.
As for this, Qin Changqing could only scream “injustice” in his heart. He wasn’t hiding anything, he really couldn’t learn any faster.
But this matter was difficult to explain. How could he tell Ye MO that he had a system?
Anyway, he would refine a Tier 4 top-level elixir in a few years and make Elder Ye happy.
Sigh, he’s really getting difficult to deal with nowadays.
“What should I choose?”
In his room, Qin Changqing stared at the system panel, pondering the options for this awakening.
He had always chosen physical fitness before, but this time he wanted to try something different.
Under normal circumstances, Fortune and Spiritual Root would be given as options along with physical fitness, so their effects shouldn’t be too bad.
Due to the uncertainty of the upper and lower limits of physical fitness, it couldn’t provide stable benefits. Qin Changqing guessed that the benefits of Fortune and Spiritual Root might be equivalent to the average effect of physical fitness, focusing on stability.
His Spiritual Root was currently at the Seventh Order Superior, which honestly wasn’t that impressive compared to those geniuses in Tianchuan State, let alone the North Region or the Tianxuan Realm.
The better the Spiritual Root, the better the effects of the cultivation rewards could be.
As for Fortune, he noticed that after the awakening of Emperor’s Saint Body, everything went quite smoothly in recent years. He comprehended the Overlord Sword effortlessly, which might be the so-called ‘Heaven’s Blessing’ effect in the outside world.
“Fortune is really useful. I’m just in the Qin family now, but those protagonists pick up divine artifacts and beautiful women in every adventure. They would’ve kicked the bucket long ago without their heaven-defying Fortune,” thought Qin Changqing, recalling the events on Tianti Road.
After much thought, he decided to place this awakening’s bonus on Fortune.
Anyway, he wanted to try all three, and there shouldn’t be any significant changes to his Spiritual Root, so why not give Fortune a try?
