日本强伦姧人妻久久

Just as he thought about it, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the room.

“Husband, the loft in the backyard is really nice, can I live there?”

“Of course, as long as you like it…!”

Qin Changqing looked down at the ‘stolen goods’ in his hands, hurriedly stuffing it into his storage bag.

The next second, Murong Xue walked in.

“Husband, what were you saying just now?”

“No-nothing.” Qin Changqing forced a smile, “Just choose the room you like, there’s plenty of space here.”

“Mm.” Murong Xue smiled faintly, then suddenly noticed the bedding and mosquito net on the bed, looking a bit surprised, “Huh? Does someone live here?”

“It might be some homeless guy who borrowed the place.” Qin Changqing went over, rolled up the bedding and said, “But starting from today, this is our home, and we’ll not allow any uninvited outsiders.” “Where are you taking that stuff, husband?”

“Of course, I’m throwing it away.”

“Let me do it.”

Murong Xue picked up the bedding and walked out of the room with Qin Changqing.

Not long after they left the room,

A slender figure in black suddenly appeared outside the window.

Looking at the empty wooden shelf, her eyes were full of astonishment.

Qin Changqing stayed in Yinxu Prefecture for a month, making all the necessary arrangements and preparations for the Qin family’s relocation in advance.

Only after truly getting to know Yinxu Prefecture did he realize how deep the waters were here.

There were hundreds of Tier 9 Cultivation Families alone.

36 Tier 8 Cultivation Families.

And five Tier 7 ones.

Normally, a Cultivation Family with a Cultivating Qi late-stage cultivator would be considered a Tier 9 family.

However, there are differences within Tier 9, as one late-stage Cultivating Qi cultivator is completely different from three to five of them.

Tier 8 Cultivation Families require an Establishing Foundation Stage cultivator to be in charge.

And for Tier 7, naturally, it would be a Golden Elixir Cultivator.

The City Lord of Yinxu Prefecture is a Golden Elixir expert, with an unknown level of cultivation and rarely makes public appearances.

On ordinary days, the affairs of Yinxu Prefecture are overseen by the four Great

Commanders. Among these commanders, two of them come from Tier 7 Cultivation Families. Of the remaining three Tier 7 families, two are said to be Loose Cultivators, and one is a managing elder of the Lingxiao Sect.

Cultivation Families almost monopolize all the businesses in Yinxu Prefecture, big and small. The intricate and complex interests involved are intertwined, with some being quite hidden. Qin Changqing spent a month trying to figure it all out but failed to do so.

Some businesses seemed unremarkable on the surface, but with a little digging, it might be discovered that there were big shots hidden behind them.

Under these circumstances, it’s difficult for foreign forces to gain a foothold.

Having no choice, Qin Changqing had to go and have a good chat with the Murong Family. Since he had married their young lady, they should all be considered family, so there’s no need for formalities, right?

Yes, what’s yours is mine, your mine is mine, your business is mine, and mine is still mine.

After having a month-long friendly conversation with Murong Ba, Qin Changqing finally managed to lay the groundwork for the Qin family’s settling in.

As for future development, the Murong Family couldn’t be relied on. However, Qin Changqing had a grand idea, which was marriage alliances!

He couldn’t touch the Tier 7 families, but weren’t there still many Tier 8 and Tier 9 families?

In time, one would be married into each family, which would not only earn rewards but also strengthen the Qin family. It was a win-win situation.

There was just one problem.

Among these families, it’s unknown how many had secretly pledged allegiance to the Tier 7 families.

Qin Changqing had to be extremely careful about this, lest he end up riddling the Qin family with holes.

After making some basic plans, Qin Changqing had to return to Heiyu Town earlier than expected.

Because Murong Xue’s belly began to grow gradually.

“Husband, I think I’m pregnant.” This was Murong Xue’s first pregnancy, and she had no experience, but as a cultivator at the Establishing Foundation Stage, she could still detect subtle changes.

“Pregnant? So soon?” Qin Changqing’s face lit up.

“It’s not soon.”

Murong Xue thought to herself, “How could it be soon with what you do every night?”

It turned out that Murong Xue’s constitution was relatively easy to conceive, and based on the situation, she might have been pregnant back in Qin Mansion.For Bai Yan, Qin Changqing’s efforts with Murong Xue might equal ten times the effort with Bai Yan.

Unfortunately, different constitutions make a difference.

But they are both his wives, so it wouldn’t be fair to favor one over the other. Once one is pregnant, the other must be too.

So, the day after he found out that Murong Xue was pregnant, Qin Changqing planned to return to Heiyu Town as soon as possible to move the Qin Mansion. He intended to hold his wedding with Murong Xue in Yinxu Prefecture.

Qin Lingshuang was somewhat conflicted.

Murong Xue was pregnant, and her Senior Brother was going to have another child.

Moreover, he was getting married again, and she wasn’t the bride.

This made her feel depressed and conflicted.

After being away from the mountain for over a month, she seemed to gradually miss her time spent practicing with Qin Changqing on the mountain and the wonderful days when they discussed the Dao together.

But Qin Lingshuang knew that such times would now never come again.

Because Qin Changqing could not return to Xuanyi Peak.

Sigh!

So, what should she do?

Qin Lingshuang racked her brains but couldn’t come up with a good idea.

She thought, should she go back and ask her Master?

“Forget it, my Master hasn’t had a Taoist couple in his entire life, so I’d better not bother him. I’ll wait for a while and see.

For now, the most important thing was to protect her Senior Brother.

Fortunately, she had made rapid progress recently, and it was time for her to calm down and consolidate her foundation. Most importantly, she had to stabilize her state of mind and not try to advance too quickly.

Well, that settles it.

“There’s Jinxia Town up ahead. Let’s rest there.”

Qin Changqing controlled the Golden Shuttle Boat to land outside a small town.

Jinxia Town, an ordinary town under the jurisdiction of Yinxu Prefecture, was a bit smaller than Heiyu Town.

Upon taking on the role of steward, this area fell under Qin Changqing’s responsibility, so he passed by to check on the situation.

Being a steward had its benefits, like reaping the profits.

And the source of these profits mainly came from the efforts of those working under him.

The three of them arrived at the sect office.

Just like in Heiyu Town, this place was also managed by three secular disciples.

“Steward Qin.” One of them handed Jinxia Town’s account book to Qin Changqing. “The records for the past five years are in here. If you want to see the older records, I can fetch them too.

Qin Changqing laughed, “No need to be so nervous. We are all brothers in the same sect. Just continue doing your job as you did before. If you do well, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

“Yes.”

The three were relieved.

They had been worried about the new official setting new rules and causing trouble for them.

It seemed that Brother Qin was actually quite easy to talk to.

Qin Changqing briefly skimmed through the records.

Although Jinxia Town was smaller than Heiyu Town, the annual tribute was not less at all.

The reason was that the town was rich in spiritual herbs.

These spiritual herbs were not natural, but cultivated artificially.

Some of them belonged to ordinary medicinal materials, and some could be used for alchemy.

Qin Changqing said, “From now on, when you submit your tributes, maintain the total value, but reduce the other items. Focus mainly on spiritual herbs.”

The three agreed without hesitation.

They couldn’t have wished for anything better.

Jinxia Town had plenty of spiritual herbs, but the previous tributes included other items as well, so they had to find ways to exchange the spiritual herbs for money or elixirs, resulting in considerable losses.

After all, with the abundance of spiritual herbs, their local prices naturally wouldn’t be high.

On the other hand, the prices of other items were higher..
