Chapter 243: Don’t Mess With the Xu Family 2
In fact, we have a history with them, one that could benefit us greatly."
One of the elders raised an eyebrow. "Are you suggesting we reach out to them? Form some kind of alliance?"
Chen Zemin nodded slowly. "Exactly. The head of the Xu family helped me before, right before the world changed.
He provided the items we use now, and from my conversations with him, I can tell that he's not unreasonable.
More importantly, he respects strength and loyalty. We can use this connection to open a line of communication and, perhaps, solidify an alliance."
There was a murmur of agreement among the elders, though some still looked hesitant.
Elder Chen Liang, always the cautious one, spoke up. "What makes you so sure they'll be open to an alliance?
The Xu family doesn't seem like they need anyone else. They could very well see us as expendable or irrelevant."
Chen Zemin's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint of determination flashing across his face. "The Xu family is powerful, but no one in this world is self-sufficient.
They may not need us in the traditional sense, but an alliance is about mutual benefit.
We control key trade routes in the Eastern Continent, and our network of alliances is vast. We can offer them something of value, just as they can offer something to us."
Elder Chen Mei leaned forward, nodding thoughtfully. "If we position ourselves as valuable partners, it could be a win-win situation.
The Xu family would gain influence in the Eastern Continent without lifting a finger, and we would gain their protection and backing."
Chen Zemin smiled faintly. "Exactly. But it's more than just business. I want this relationship to be based on loyalty and aimed at a long-term approach, which is what we need.
If we play this right, we can secure an alliance that will benefit us for generations."
The room was quiet as the elders digested his words. It was a bold move but one that could elevate the Chen family even higher in the ranks of power.
They could either be part of the new order or risk being left behind.
"We'll start by sending a delegation," Chen Zemin said, his tone decisive. It will be a message of goodwill highlighting our shared interests.
We'll offer our cooperation and make it clear that we stand with the Xu family, not against them."
An elder frowned slightly and asked, "And if they reject our offer?"
Chen Zemin's expression hardened. "Then we continue as we are, but we do not antagonize them. The Xu family is not an enemy we want to make." He stood up, signaling the end of the discussion.
"Whatever happens, remember this: Don't Mess With the Xu Family. Spread the word to every elder and disciple. We are not looking for trouble with them."
The elders nodded in agreement, the gravity of his words clear. The Chen family would pursue diplomacy and alliance, not conflict.
This scene was happening all over the world inside high- and top-level forces, while lower-level ones simply issued statements stating that no one was to antagonize the Xu family.
Meanwhile, in the Xu family subspace, Xu Qianghua, Liu Meiying, and Bai Linyun were in the dual cultivation room. All three of them were on the verge of a breakthrough, which had caused them to leave whatever they were doing and come here.
They had discussed this before, as their primary type of cultivation was dual cultivation, and their dual cultivation manual was particularly helpful for this too.
The dual cultivation manual made the process of breaking through much easier by using intercourse as the medium to help cultivators breakthrough, which was not something one would typically imagine.
Normally, a cultivator needs to focus on their body and make sure they are in peak condition when attempting to break through.
However, the dual cultivation manual skipped the usual process by using the act of intercourse as a method to assist in the breakthrough.
This method was particularly important for Xu Qianghua and Liu Meiying, as they were the only ones who actively needed to cultivate.
Bai Linyun, on the other hand, only needed to unlock her cultivation base over time gradually.
"So, Qiangqiang, are you ready?" Liu Meiying asked as she slowly crawled towards him on the bed.
Xu Qianghua smiled. "Ready as ever. I can't wait to get started."
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately. Liu Meiying wrapped her legs around him, feeling his hands slide up her shirt, cupping her breasts.
She moaned, rubbing herself against him, and while both of them were getting heated, Xu Qianghua used his spiritual Qi to remove their clothes as they were getting in the way.
And Bai Linyun, who saw this, pouted as she made towards them, and as she did, her clothes also started to disappear, revealing her naked figure.
Meanwhile, both Xu Qianghua and Liu Meiying were still kissing, her fingers traced down his chest, finding his rock-hard cock and gently stroking it.
Xu Qianghua groaned, and his eyes lit up. He pushed her down onto the bed and began kissing down her neck.
His lips continued to kiss and suck her, making her moan with pleasure, her skin flushing. She felt him knead her breasts with his hands before his mouth began sucking her nipples.
As she arched her back, he trailed kisses down her body, leaving a trail of wet kisses until his mouth was hovering between her legs.
And just as this was going on, Bai Linyun came up behind him and laid down on top of him, which caused him to be sandwiched between two voluptuous bodies making him feel like he was wrapped around in a fluffy and smooth cloud which made his dick throb even more.
