470: The mother-in-law guards the door, and the brothers eavesdrop outside the door

Shi Jingqiong had repeatedly stated that she had no relationship with Gu Qing.

If there truly was a relationship, Shi Jingqiong would have probably announced it to the whole world, so why would she try to distance herself? And how would she dare to do so?

Therefore, Long Tianyu felt that this Qing Gongzi was most likely a hidden disciple of one of the Peerless Twins.

After all, the Peerless Twins were too mysterious, with unfathomable origins; they could even cultivate a disciple like Gu Qing into an unparalleled Divine King.

One can imagine how terrifying the strength of the Peerless Twins was.

It was perfectly normal for them to have several hidden Divine King disciples.

“My apologies, Your Majesty Tianyu, my daughter is currently discussing important matters with Qing Gongzi and cannot receive guests. Please forgive us.”

Shu Miaohua spoke with great confidence, yet it made the powerful figures of the Shi family hold their breath, their hearts feeling as if clutched by an invisible hand.

They feared that Long Tianyu, in a fit of rage, would reduce the entire Shi family to ashes.

“As expected of the proud little princess, she doesn’t show the slightest fear even when facing an Immortal King overlord,” Shi Minghui murmured to himself.

The Qingyang Dynasty was merely a Profound God force dynasty, which meant nothing to the Shi family.

However, Shu Miaohua was an extremely resourceful and arrogant woman; since marrying into the Shi family, she had never lowered her proud head.

When the patriarch was alive, she often chased him out of the house to kneel and repent, causing the Shi family to lose face repeatedly.

Shu Miaohua was a woman who would rather die than bow her head.

And it was the same now; she hadn’t changed at all.

Of course, the Shi family also knew that Shu Miaohua acted this way because she had backing.

Shu Miaohua’s backing was Qing Gongzi, who was in Shi Jingqiong’s room.

Yet, they still couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear and their scalps tingle, for an Immortal King could not be insulted.

“Oh!”

Long Tianyu smiled faintly, “In that case, it seems I was presumptuous.”

Being repeatedly rejected was certainly vexing for Long Tianyu, but these matters were not crucial.

On the contrary, Shu Miaohua’s fearlessness made him take her more seriously.

Shu Miaohua dared to disregard him so openly, which suggested that this Qing Gongzi was by no means an ordinary person.

Perhaps Qing Gongzi truly was a Divine King, which was why Shu Miaohua and her daughter were so fearless.

It’s just… Long Tianyu cast a strange glance at Chu Nan.

He naturally didn’t believe that a noble figure like Qing Gongzi would have anything important to discuss with an ant; it was more likely they were engaged in illicit activities.

If he remembered correctly, the last time Qing Gongzi visited, Shu Miaohua also stood guard while Chu Nan knelt to receive punishment.

What kind of hobby was this?

But then again, many of his generals also had this hobby: killing husbands and taking their wives and daughters.

This good-for-nothing Chu Nan was truly pitiful… A flicker of pity crossed Long Tianyu’s indifferent eyes.

However, his expression quickly stiffened, and his eyes instantly darkened.

“Your Majesty Tianyu, you exaggerate. Your Majesty Tianyu’s esteemed presence graces the Shi family with splendor.”

Shu Miaohua seemed not to notice Long Tianyu’s grim expression; a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, her lips closed, exuding elegance and nobility.

The greatness of a Divine King needed no further words.

Her daughter was the woman of a Divine King; a mere Long Tianyu was not worth putting in her eyes.

With her here, no one would be allowed to step half a pace through the door.

Long Tianyu’s face grew even uglier.

He realized that Shu Miaohua was just as the rumors said: arrogant and overbearing, not taking him, an Immortal King, seriously at all.

If he were to propose taking Shu Miaohua into his harem now, he would most likely be rejected, leading to an uncontrollable situation.

But if he didn’t leave, was he to stand here eavesdropping like Chu Nan?

If he left, who knew when Qing Gongzi would come to the Shi family next time?

Long Tianyu stood rooted to the spot, for a moment, unable to decide whether to leave or stay.

He and Chu Nan looked at each other, a pair of unfortunate brothers from a past life, staring wide-eyed, exchanging glances.

One day, two days, three days… On the seventh day, the door opened, and Qing Gongzi and Shi Jingqiong walked out of the room, chatting and laughing.

“Sister, you must come to the Boundless Divine Sect when you have time.”

“Mhm, I’ll definitely go when I have time.”

Sister?

Everyone’s minds went blank. A man and a woman alone in a room, could they really have just been chatting under the covers?

Also, what virtue or ability did Shi Jingqiong possess to make Qing Gongzi call her “sister”?

Was this Qing Gongzi’s hobby?

Everyone didn’t understand, yet they also expressed understanding.

“If Sister wants to go into secluded cultivation, then go to the Boundless World.”

“The Boundless World, opened by the Sect Master, can be called a blessed land of the Great Dao. It has a hundredfold time flow, clear Great Dao rules, and is filled with innate spiritual qi.”

“There is also a Profound Yellow Inner World, filled with profound yellow qi. I heard that an Innate Spirit Treasure of the Xuanhuang Great Dao is being nurtured within it.”

“The Sect Master also planted three innate spiritual roots and a thousand pan peach trees, which are acquired spiritual roots, in the Boundless World. I guarantee Sister won’t be disappointed.”

“Oh, that’s wonderful. Then, little brother, you must secure two spots for me. My mother and I will enter together to comprehend the Great Dao.”

“What are you saying, Sister? Are ten spots enough for you? You can cultivate inside for as long as you want, but you cannot take the Innate Spirit Treasure from the Profound Yellow Inner World.”

“Of course, divine objects have spirits. If the treasure automatically recognizes you as its master, Sister can take it. The Sect Master won’t mind.”

Gu Qing’s words were not bragging; the Profound Yellow Inner World truly nurtured an Innate Spirit Treasure, and a high-grade one at that.

It had absorbed a large amount of Chaotic Source Qi and had already evolved an innate indestructible spiritual light, but it was still being nurtured and had not yet fully formed.

“Hiss…”

Innate spiritual qi?

profound yellow qi?

innate spiritual roots?

Innate Spirit Treasures?

Was this really something they were allowed to hear?

Everyone was so shocked that their pupils trembled, including Long Tianyu.

Even the lowest-grade innate spiritual qi was of great use to him, capable of shaping an innate body.

As for profound yellow qi, it went without saying; it was the root of all roots, with infinite wondrous uses.

And innate spiritual roots, Innate Spirit Treasures, these were existences that even Immortal Emperors would fight over.

Such supreme treasures, each one enough to drive an Immortal King mad with desire, how dared Qing Gongzi openly announce them?

Thinking of Gu Qing’s power and the mystery of the Peerless Twins, everyone felt relieved.

Indeed, all the Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm combined couldn’t defeat Gu Qing alone.

Even if Qing Gongzi announced it publicly, who would dare to come and snatch it?

Even if they went, they would just be delivering food to the Boundless Divine Sect.

“Whoosh!”

The Shi family members suddenly started breathing rapidly. If they hadn’t misheard, Qing Gongzi was giving Shi Jingqiong ten spots, and she could cultivate for as long as she wanted?

Was this true?

Quickly agree to him!!!

The powerful figures of the Shi family trembled with excitement, their eyes red as they looked at Shi Jingqiong.

If their Shi family obtained this immense fortune, they would surely rise, becoming even more prosperous than when their ancestor was alive.

If they were fortunate enough to have that Innate Spirit Treasure recognize them as its master, the Shi family might even become an Immortal Emperor family.

After all, Innate Spirit Treasures don’t choose just anyone as their master.

Long Tianyu’s eyes burned with eagerness; he was shamefully tempted by the idea of freeloading off this pair of stunning mother and daughter.

He was an Immortal King in the late stage, after all.

But the soft rice from this mother and daughter was simply too fragrant; that was an Innate Spirit Treasure, the foundation for achieving Immortal Emperorhood.

Chu Nan was stunned. Was the Boundless World really that heaven-defying?

He didn’t believe it.

After all, he knew that he couldn’t possibly create such a heaven-defying grotto-heaven world.

Could Qing Gongzi be trying to lure his mother-in-law and wife with this?

“Isn’t this inappropriate?” Shi Jingqiong pursed her red lips, feeling incredibly touched inside.

While Shi Jingqiong was delighted, she also felt a pang of sadness. She had vowed to be the one to support her little brother.

After finally getting her hands on the vibrant Divine King little brother, she couldn’t afford to support him.

“There’s nothing inappropriate. The Boundless World is originally a grotto-heaven for disciples to cultivate in. The innate spiritual qi and profound yellow qi inside are inexhaustible and inexhaustible.”

Gu Qing smiled indifferently.

“Alright… Thank you, little brother.”

As they spoke, the two arrived outside the door.

What greeted their eyes was a huge crowd, with Shu Miaohua and Long Tianyu seated opposite each other.

Chu Nan was kneeling on the ground, receiving punishment, while everyone watched.

Gu Qing calmly walked to his mother-in-law’s side, sat down, and took out four pan peach fruits.

He didn’t have many pan peach fruits left, only a hundred in stock. A portion was distributed to his disciples, and the rest all ended up in Xian’er’s stomach.

That little girl was a super glutton; no matter how much she had, it was never enough for her, and she particularly loved to eat, eating everything delicious.
