30: Chapter 30: The Array Cultivator is Approaching, the Newlywed Wife First Stabilizes the Array Core

The Grand Elder clutched the secret letter, his old face as black as the bottom of a pot.

The Zhao family had spent a fortune to hire Chang Gui, a Formation Master from the Outer Town. It was obvious they felt that driving up the prices of Materials was too slow and were preparing to strike directly.

"Li Qingfeng, this Chang Gui has a Magical Artifact specifically for breaking armor and destroying Formations."

"If he sneaks into our Spiritual Plant fields or targets your New Courtyard, all our previous hard work will go down the drain."

The Grand Elder slammed his palm onto the table, making the teacups rattle.

Li Qingfeng's mind raced.

The Zhao family was getting desperate. Since buying up all the Materials couldn't drag the Li family to death, they wanted to directly destroy the fields and cut off the supply. Once the Spiritual Plant fields were destroyed, the Qingyun Sect assessment would immediately fall through. What's more, the pregnant Su Qingyue was in the New Courtyard.

"Grand Elder, increase the overt sentries at the Spiritual Plant fields. Send all the skilled people from the clan there and guard it with great fanfare."

"Switch to covert agents in the market to keep a close watch on the movements of outsiders."

"As for my New Courtyard, don't add any people to avoid alerting the enemy. I will set up a hidden Formation inside to cover us."

Li Qingfeng arranged everything methodically.

The Grand Elder nodded repeatedly.

After making the arrangements, Li Qingfeng hurried back to the New Courtyard.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the inner chamber, a warm scent of cosmetics drifted into his nose.

Today, Su Qingyue had changed into a bright red, silky camisole, with a translucent, thin robe draped casually over it.

In her late pregnancy, her figure was simply jaw-droppingly hot. That pair of already proud, ample breasts were now even heavier, almost bursting the straps of her camisole, with large patches of dazzling, snow-white soft flesh exposed to the air without reservation, trembling slightly with her breathing.

She was leaning on the couch, one long, slim, anime-like leg bent casually, while the other straight, long leg extended from the hem of her thin robe, shining with a dazzling whiteness.

Her firm, well-proportioned calves were plump and supple, and a few rounded, pink toes were swinging gently on the edge of the couch, exuding a natural, feminine charm.

Li Qingfeng silently complained to himself.

This isn't resting to protect the fetus; this is clearly testing a cadre's weak point!

If not for worrying about her big belly, he would definitely have hoisted these top-tier beautiful legs onto his shoulders to properly measure them.

He strode over, his broad palm directly caressing her smooth, slippery thigh, then sliding all the way to her now-plumper waist, unceremoniously pinching a handful of soft flesh.

"Aiya, pinch lighter. You only know how to take advantage of me all day long."

Su Qingyue coquettishly slapped the back of his hand, her watery peach-blossom eyes filled with an unmelting charm.

Li Qingfeng sat on the edge of the bed and immediately summoned the System panel in his mind.

[Detected that the host is facing a crisis of a Formation Master breaking the Formation, initiating a phased defense plan.]

[The resonance blueprint for the Low-Level Courtyard Protection Formation and the Fetal Protection Spirit Spring Well has been issued.]

[Functional description: This blueprint is critical. The host can completely connect the outer perimeter warning Formation, the middle-layer converging Formation, and the inner courtyard's Fetal Protection Spirit Spring Well.]

[Once the exterior is subjected to magical power bombardment, the three layers of Formations will form a water-wood attribute buffer membrane to dissipate the force layer by layer, dissolving the lethality into nothingness.]

[At the same time, the gentle Spiritual Qi generated by the operation of the Formations will all be fed back to the inner courtyard, forming an absolutely safe zone that defends the outside and nourishes the inside.]

This was exactly what was needed.

Li Qingfeng felt greatly relieved.

He stood up, walked to the center of the courtyard, and quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

The wood-attribute magical power of his Qi Refining Stage 7 surged out from his body, turning into several cyan-green rays of light that were precisely injected into the Formation eye at the base of the courtyard wall.

Immediately after, he forcefully pulled out the gentle water-attribute true essence from the Fetal Protection Spirit Spring Well.

The two Xuanhuan energies violently twisted together in mid-air, and a cyan-blue interlaced light shield immediately appeared above the entire New Courtyard, then quietly faded into the air.

Once the Formation was connected, the water and wood Spiritual Qi in the courtyard instantly became gentle and abundant.

Su Qingyue, sitting in the room, immediately noticed the change.

She took a deep breath, feeling extremely comfortable throughout her entire body.

She raised her fair, tender small hand and flicked her fingertips gently.

"Whoosh!"

A very thin, very stable thread of water-wood Spiritual Qi shot out from her fingertips, nimbly circled in mid-air, and steadily rolled the teacup on the table into her hand.

Not a single drop of water in the cup spilled.

Li Qingfeng's eyes lit up as he watched.

Ever since she had the postpartum nourishment and feedback from the System, Su Qingyue's Late Stage Qi Refining cultivation was truly formidable, and her Spiritual Qi control was even more precise than the veterans in the clan.

Su Qingyue put down the teacup, held Li Qingfeng's hand, and spoke very seriously.

"Qingfeng, my cultivation is stable now, and my body is much better."

"You don't have to carry everything by yourself."

"I don't want to just be protected behind you. If there is trouble outside, I can also help you share the burden."

Li Qingfeng felt a wave of warmth in his heart as he heard this.

This woman was not only alluring but also willing to wholeheartedly fight alongside him.

He lowered his head and kissed her plump, rosy cupid's bow hard, tasting that sweet and cloying flavor.

"It's enough that you have this heart, my wife."

"But for now, your most important task is to steadily deliver the cargo in your belly."

Li Qingfeng laughed and ruffled her hair.

Just as the two of them were being affectionate, there was a rapid knocking on the door outside the courtyard.

The steward of the External Affairs Hall stood outside the door, reporting loudly through the wall, his tone full of anger:

"Young Master Qingfeng! Those grandsons from the Zhao family are too shameless!"

"They hired Loose Cultivators to spread rumors everywhere in the market, saying that our Li family's Spiritual Plants grow fast only because we used shady, evil methods!"

The steward paused, his voice lowering even more:

"They... they are also smearing Madame Qingyue, saying that what is being carried in this New Courtyard is not a proper Fetal Breath, but borrowed evil Qi..."

The smile on Li Qingfeng's face instantly vanished, and his eyes became terrifying.

The Zhao family had completely lost their bottom line. Since they couldn't destroy the industry, they started ruining the Li family's reputation, and even wanted to destroy the Luck of the unborn child.

He strode to the courtyard gate and ordered sternly:

"Tell the Grand Elder, if the Zhao family dares to jump around openly, break the legs of those lackeys spreading rumors and throw them out!"

"I am guarding the New Courtyard, no one is allowed to come within half a step!"

Late at night.

Li Qingfeng had just combed through the Spiritual Qi of the New Courtyard and taken off his outer garment, preparing to go to bed.

Suddenly, Su Qingyue grabbed his arm fiercely, her nails digging deep into his flesh.

"Qingfeng..."

Su Qingyue was gasping for air, her ample chest heaving violently, a layer of fine sweat instantly breaking out on her forehead, and her face turning deathly pale.

"My belly... my belly hurts so much, it's sinking downwards in waves!"

Li Qingfeng's heart jumped violently. He grabbed her wrist and probed with a strand of magical power.

Before he could find out clearly, a red System alert popped up in his mind.

[Warning! The mother is affected by external Qi traction and emotional fluctuations, and labor has begun prematurely!]

Li Qingfeng's mind buzzed.

The Formation Master Chang Gui outside hadn't even shown his face yet, and this little ancestor actually chose this moment to come out!
