BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64: I Still Need to Cultivate_1
"Then... what should I call you?"
"If you truly want to follow me, call me husband."
"Eh? Is that okay?" Liu Yi felt uneasy. She thought being a maid to Qin Changqing would be enough, and that was already more than satisfying. She had heard her father recount Qin Changqing's accomplishments, whether it was defeating Tier 8 Foundation Establishment cultivators or being the head disciple of Xuanyi Peak, all of which were unattainable for her.
What could be unsatisfying about being a maid for someone like him?
Qin Changqing took her soft hand and chuckled, "I, Qin Changqing, only marry wives. I have no concubines."
Liu Yi felt extremely happy.
"Then... husband, let Liu'er serve you."
The candlelight cast their shadows on the wall.
Gazing at Liu Yi, Qin Changqing sighed once again.
To ordinary people, fairies were just those who were cautiously living in the cultivation world.
When the Loose Cultivator Fair came to an end, Qin Changqing took Liu Yi with him when he left.
Because Liu Yi's family was in Yinxu Prefecture. They were from a low-ranking cultivation family who originally came to Xianfeng Ridge to try their luck but never expected to run into Qin Changqing.
"Big brother is going to marry again... No, he's going to marry two."
Qin Lingshuang silently thought.
One, two, three, four... seven, eight, nine. That's nine.
What to do?
Sister Lingshuang suddenly felt at a loss.
If she were to marry Qin Changqing now, she could only be ranked tenth.
Sigh!
If she had known earlier, she might as well...
Let's watch and wait a little longer.
After leaving Xianfeng Ridge, Qin Changqing took the three people back to Tiankui Mountain Range, and began to wander around the safe area.
As they wandered, they let Treasure-seeking Qi search for treasures, which turned out to be quite effective in enjoying their fortune. Although there were many spirit herbs on Tiankui Mountain Range, it was extremely difficult to find those that were valuable and suitable for picking. Nevertheless, Treasure-seeking Qi was able to pull these precious spirit herbs out of the mountain's nooks and crannies.
After wandering around for more than half a month, Qin Lingshuang couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, aren't we going to look for demon cultivators?"
"No need, I already know pretty much everything."
Qin Changqing had no plans to look for them.
He was waiting, waiting for Si Hongyue's news.
He was more inclined to believe the information obtained from Si Hongyue than to contact other demon cultivators recklessly.
Moreover, the Huntian Sect was powerful, and he was just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator after all.
However, after waiting for more than a month, and almost digging up all the spirit grass in this area with Treasure-seeking Qi, Si Hongyue had yet to show up.
But as she didn't come out, Qin Changqing had no choice but to return to Yinxu Prefecture.
"Husband, I think I might be pregnant." Treasure-seeking Qi said early in the morning, touching her belly.
"Husband, I think I might be pregnant too." Liu Yi said as well.
Looking at the two soon-to-be pregnant brides who hadn't even gotten married yet, Qin Changqing immediately decided to go back to his mansion.
If they were to have a child out of wedlock, it would be troublesome. He didn't mind, but the etiquette of this world is such that if a woman gives birth before marriage, she would be subject to the condemnation of the public.
When the Golden Shuttle Boat flew to Yinxu Prefecture and Qin Changqing took the three women back to Qin Mansion, he immediately left to find Uncle Liu.
Upon hearing that Qin Changqing and Liu Siqi were planning a wedding, Liu Shuisheng was dumbfounded.
"I'm really stupid... really."
Under Liu Siqi's coquettish pleas, Liu Shuisheng reluctantly agreed to the marriage with a helpless expression.
What else could he do if he didn't agree?
There was already a life at stake.
After Liu Shuisheng agreed, Qin Changqing started to make arrangements for the wedding in Qin Mansion.He decided to hold separate weddings for Liu Siqi and Liu Yi.
It didn't really matter who went first, as Liu Yi was well-behaved and considerate, and let Liu Siqi go first.
Su Xiaoyue and others were quite used to welcoming new sisters into the Qin family.
But the people of Yinxu Prefecture were not accustomed to it.
Didn't Steward Qin just get married recently?
"Why is the head of the Qin family getting married again? Didn't he marry the daughter of the Muke Family just two years ago?"
"How shallow. What kind of person is Steward Qin? Who wouldn't want to marry him?"
"Do you want to?"
"If I were a woman, I would definitely want to."
"This time he's marrying Steward Liu's daughter. Although Steward Liu doesn't have a prominent family background, he has been operating in Yinxu Prefecture for many years and has extensive connections."
"Both stewards are joining forces, it seems that the Qin family will rise completely."
Among the four stewards in Yinxu Prefecture, Liu Shuisheng had the highest cultivation and had been operating there the longest.
With him as the go-between, the Qin family's development would only become smoother.
In time, the businesses and industries opened through the channels of the Murong family would gradually form stable interest chains.
Of course, this would inevitably touch on the existing interests of other families, especially the Gongsun family, who stood by the City Lord's side, and would not give up without a fight.
However, Qin Changqing didn't care about this.
Of all things, getting married and having children was the most important.
If the Qin family's business couldn't grow, as long as his child-bearing progress could, it would be fine.
Red lanterns hung high throughout the night, and the Qin Mansion was bustling.
In the backyard, Qin Lingshuang was practicing swordplay.
Su Xiaoyue entered the yard and stood on the side, waiting for a moment.
Qin Lingshuang put away her sword and looked at her with puzzlement.
"What's up?"
"Sister Lingshuang." Su Xiaoyue approached Qin Lingshuang, looking somewhat helpless. "When you and your husband went out for such a long time, why did you bring back two wives for him?"
Qin Lingshuang shook her head: "I won't interfere with the matters decided by my Senior Brother."
"That's not what I meant." Su Xiaoyue was somewhat frustrated.
Upon saying this, she was actually the one who knew Qin Lingshuang best since they had met. Initially, she may not have been very clear, but after all these years, she knew Qin Lingshuang's intentions very well.
Who would waste their precious cultivation time here if they didn't actually like him? After all, for Qin Lingshuang, there was nothing more important than cultivation.
She had already reached Tier 8 Foundation Establishment, and her top priority should be to break through to the Golden Elixir Stage as soon as possible.
"I'm saying..." Su Xiaoyue sighed, "husband likes you, and you also like him. Why do you always hide your feelings from each other? If you continue like this, you might really miss out."
"I..." Qin Lingshuang's voice trailed off, and she looked away, "Senior Brother has so many beautiful women around him already, I... I still need to cultivate."
"Do you really want to cultivate?"
It must be said that although Su Xiaoyue was born into a merchant family and was the last to encounter cultivation, she had the clearest insight among all of Qin Changqing's wives.
"Sister Lingshuang, you're worried that once you really enter the Qin family, you'll become lax with your cultivation. You like husband and can't let go of both sides, but actually, you don't have to worry. Husband is cultivating with each of us every day."
As she said this, Su Xiaoyue blushed slightly.
"Look at me, my spiritual root is not outstanding, but I have reached Tier 5 Qi-cultivating, all thanks to my husband's help."
Qin Lingshuang asked in surprise, "How did Senior Brother manage to do that?"
"It's, it's, ah, it's dual cultivation."
"Dual... Cultivation?" Qin Lingshuang was dumbstruck, "Isn't that a demonic technique?"
"Who told me," Su Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, "look at Sister Xi'er and Sister Caini, they are both about to break through to the Establishing Foundation Stage. If they followed normal cultivation, they would have needed another ten years at least."
