42: Chapter 42: Signs of a Second Child Appear, New Regulations from Qingyun Suddenly Loom Over

Chapter 42: Signs of a Second Child, New Qingyun Sect Rules Suddenly Descend

After tossing and turning for most of the night, the red bed curtains in the room were only pulled back at dawn.

With the Zhao Family completely destroyed and the death trap hanging over their heads resolved, the entire Li Family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Qingfeng leaned against the headboard, his entire body radiating a sense of comfort. His cultivation at the Early Stage of Qi Refining Stage 8 was solid, and the Azure Wood True Essence within his Qi Sea surged powerfully, having fully withstood last night's frantic exertion.

Su Qingyue nestled in his arms, her fair and plump body pressing softly against him. She was only haphazardly wrapped in a bright red thin silk bodice, unable to contain the two heavy, frighteningly full mounds of white flesh, which spilled out from the sides, revealing a large expanse of snowy-white skin. A thin red cord was tied around her slender, willow-like waist, and her long, white, fleshy legs underneath were intertwined at the soft, plump thighs, radiating a charm that seeped into one's bones, simply enough to cost a man his life.

"Awake?" Li Qingfeng gave that plump, soft flesh a squeeze with his large hand, grinning broadly.

Su Qingyue shot him a coquettish glare, swatted away his mischievous hand, and rose to drape a loose silk robe over herself. Even with the loose clothing, as she walked, her round, peach-like buttocks still swayed in a lethal arc, and the sweet, cloying fragrance of a mature woman filled the entire room.

Li Qingfeng was in no rush to get out of bed; he opened the System interface directly in his mind. After the battle, he finally had time to properly check the details of his eldest son.

[Ding! Offspring interface fully expanded!]

[Name: Li Changqing (First Son)]

[Current Cultivation: None]

[Innate Talent: Superior Water-Wood Affinity.]

[Special Talent: Spiritual Plant Affinity, rudimentary Vitality Soothing.]

[System Detailed Explanation: This child is born with an affinity for the Spiritual Qi of plants and trees, possessing the inherent ability to organize the vitality of low-grade Spiritual Plants. The Vitality Soothing ability can greatly calm the restless emotions of surrounding living beings, and has a strong auxiliary accelerating effect on the cultivation of Spiritual Plant seedlings, the taming of Spirit Beast cubs, and even the maintenance of Meridians for the wounded.]

After reading the explanation, Li Qingfeng was overjoyed.

This ability was too Heaven-Defying!!! It meant that as long as he placed his eldest son by the spirit field, the Li Family's herb production would immediately jump up a notch. If they caught a few Spirit Beasts to raise in the future, this kid would be a natural beast tamer.

Just looking at the interface wasn't enough, so Li Qingfeng got dressed and brought in two pots of Green Vine Grass from outside the courtyard that had been severely scorched by the Zhao Family's fire evil aura.

He placed one pot in the corner and shoved the other directly next to Li Changqing's cradle.

It didn't take long for the results to appear.

The pot of Green Vine Grass near Li Changqing saw the black spots on its leaves fade extremely quickly, and before their eyes, it sprouted lush, green buds. The pot in the corner was still drooping, half-dead.

Just then, Great Elder Li Yuanheng and Second Elder Li Boshan came over early in the morning to visit. The two old men stared at the two pots of grass for a long time, their eyes wide with shock.

Li Yuanheng's beard trembled, and he slapped his thigh in excitement: "A gift from the Heavens! Truly a gift from the Heavens!!! Qingfeng, we must raise this child Changqing well! The value he can bring to the Family in the future will definitely be greater than a combat Genius who only knows how to fight!!!"

Li Boshan nodded repeatedly from the side, completely convinced. The Foundation for the Li Family's future herb cultivation and Alchemy all rested on this little guy.

The two Elders left happily, and Su Qingyue was not idle either.

She was now also a formidable female cultivator at the Early Stage of Qi Refining Stage 8. After this great battle, the Water-Wood spiritual power in her Qi Sea was incomparably steady, and her judgment of pharmacology and control of Formation had reached a much higher level.

Su Qingyue changed into a proper water-green dress. Although the neckline was pulled up a bit, those proud, massive mounds still stretched the bodice high. She stood in the courtyard, methodically taking over all the internal affairs of this branch.

"Send this batch of Spirit Recovery Powder directly to the wounded soldiers' camp in the Outer Town. The Formation of the Seedling Spirit Pond needs three Water-element Formation Stones replaced today; a few of you, go to the warehouse to pick them up." Su Qingyue's voice was crisp and decisive.

Several female relatives and maids of the Li Family stood below, listening obediently. This mistress of the New Courtyard had cultivation, capability, and such a superb figure; she truly grasped the demeanor of a head matriarch perfectly. Li Qingfeng watched his wife's capable appearance and felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

By nightfall, the courtyard was completely quiet.

[Ding! Detected that the environment for dual cultivation between husband and wife is extremely stable!]

[System Suggestion: The Host and Dao Companion may continue to circulate the Evergreen Spirit Transformation Art, combined with the Fetal Protection Spirit Spring Well for deep nourishment.]

Li Qingfeng pulled Su Qingyue to sit cross-legged beside the Fetal Protection Spirit Spring Well.

The two pressed their palms together, and Li Qingfeng channeled the Azure Wood True Essence in his Qi Sea, slowly transferring it into Su Qingyue's body through their palms. Su Qingyue's Water-element spiritual power immediately met it. The two streams of True Essence, one Water and one Wood, formed a perfect Great Circulation within their Meridians.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was guided by the Formation and gathered around them. Li Qingfeng felt as if his Meridians had been thoroughly cleansed, his True Essence becoming increasingly solid, and Su Qingyue's Qi Sea was also stabilized to the extreme.

Just as Li Qingfeng finished his cultivation and his fingers habitually rested on the pulse point of Su Qingyue's wrist, he was suddenly stunned.

Deep within these moist Meridians, he had actually detected a new yet familiar warmth of vitality!

The System in his mind instantly burst with golden light.

[Ding! Detected that new life energy is gathering!]

[System Confirmation: Signs of a second pregnancy have been officially established! Due to the significant increase in the Host and Dao Companion's cultivation and the excellent environment, the starting score of this fetus far exceeds that of the first fetus at the same stage!!!]

Li Qingfeng opened his eyes abruptly, staring fixedly at Su Qingyue's delicate and alluring face.

Su Qingyue felt uneasy under his gaze and shifted her long white legs uncomfortably, the soft flesh of her thighs rubbing together in an alluring arc: "What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Qingyue, we are going to have a second child." Li Qingfeng grinned and pulled her plump body straight into his arms.

Su Qingyue was stunned for a moment, touched her flat lower abdomen, and her face instantly flushed red. This time, the two of them were not panicked at all; they had survived the great battle, and now the Family had spirit fields and Formations, with a very solid Foundation.

The two huddled together, whispering and calculating how to acquire more Advanced Spirit Medicine to raise this second money-swallowing beast to be plump and healthy.

At noon the next day, the Wang Clan Head Wang Chongyue came to visit in person.

This old fox held a thick stack of account books in his hand and was directly invited into the hall of the New Courtyard.

After both sides sat down, they talked entirely about business involving real money and silver, without wasting a single word on nonsense.

"Qingfeng, the market left behind by the Zhao Family is too big. Your Li Family wants the spirit fields, and our Wang Family wants the storefronts. Our two families must take separate routes for transportation and back each other up." Wang Chongyue patted the account book, getting straight to the point in plain language.

Li Qingfeng took a sip of tea, his mind racing: "Uncle Wang, the transportation routes can be separated. But for the Medicinal Pill Materials our Li Family supplies to the Qingyun Sect, the shops under your Wang Family must give us the lowest discount price. In return, if any Loose Cultivator from the Outer Town tries to cause trouble on your territory, my Li Family's Penalty Hall will go over to help handle it at any time."

After this exchange, the boundaries were clearly drawn.

Both families were in this for the long haul in Qingshi Town, and what they discussed was purely the binding of interests; not a single word was mentioned regarding the marriage between Wang Qingluan and Li Qingfeng.

After the arrangements were settled, Wang Chongyue left, satisfied, with the account books. This old man knew very well that this kid, Li Qingfeng, was surprisingly steady; as long as the benefits were sufficient, the cooperation between the Li and Wang families would be as solid as a rock.

The night had completely deepened.

Li Qingfeng stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at his eldest son sleeping peacefully in the Seedling Spirit Pond, then turned back to look at Su Qingyue, who was organizing accounts in the room, and the second child just budding in her womb.

His gaze completely settled.

The death trap of the Zhao Family had been closed, and now Li Qingfeng held spirit fields, powerful offspring, and the System's double cheat. The next step was to forcefully push his branch to become the stabilizer of the entire Qingshi Town, one that even the Qingyun Sect could not bypass.

Just as he was racking his brain calculating how to expand his territory, the communication jade talisman at his waist suddenly emitted a rapid buzzing sound.

The jade talisman flashed, and the booming voice of the Outer Sect Steward Xu Wenshan came through, his tone revealing an irrepressible impatience.

"Kid Qingfeng, come to the Qingyun Branch immediately! The Inner Sect has issued new rules, and the Li Family's candidacy has run into trouble!!!"
