Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 407 - 239: Qin Mengxuan: I Want to Be the Matriarch. Who Agrees? Who Objects?

Then, she summoned a Top-Grade, Spirit-Treasure-level Tianzhou Skyboat, and the two of them walked inside hand in hand.

The Tianzhou Skyboat was a hundred zhang long and housed a large number of Mechanical Puppets. They stood guard in various locations, serving as servants, guards, and pilots.

After confirming their direction, Qin Mengxuan immediately ordered the Mechanical Puppets to accelerate the Tianzhou Skyboat. It soon vanished over the horizon.

「Half a month later.」

The Tianzhou Skyboat finally entered the Feiyu Sea Region.

"So that’s how it is... My sister Ziying and I passed through here several times, but we never noticed a thing. To think you were hiding here, husband?"

Inside the cabin, Qin Mengxuan chided him playfully. She was nestled in Ling Changqing’s arms, clad only in a sheer, bright-red bodice, her snowy skin dazzling.

Ling Changqing said, "If I hadn’t hidden so well, wouldn’t you all have captured me long ago?"

"But husband, haven’t I captured you now?"

Qin Mengxuan said in a sultry voice, her eyes full of seductive charm as she slowly untied her bodice.

The two of them played around for a long while, only getting up to dress and compose themselves when the Tianzhou Skyboat arrived over the Changqing Continent.

Having received the news, Ling Qiyue and the other women had already come out to greet them. Seeing Ling Changqing safe and sound, their worried hearts were finally put at ease.

However, when they saw Qin Mengxuan beside him, veiled and wrapped in a thick, gray robe, they still felt a lingering fear.

Ling Qiyue, her expression placid, invited her into the Women’s Embroidery Tower to talk. On the way, she used her Divine Thought to send a message:

"My dear husband, you truly have a devil’s nerve! How could you dare to provoke even someone like her?"

To them, the Grand Palace Master of Lu Hua Palace was no less than a great shark entering a fish pond; anyone who stood before her would be utterly crushed.

"I had no choice," Ling Changqing replied helplessly. "Even if I didn’t provoke her, do you think she wouldn’t have come looking for me?"

’All I can say is that my luck with women is quite deep,’ he thought. ’No matter where I go, stunning beauties are always thinking about me. You can’t blame me for that.’

"Heh, you rascal. You’re actually proud of it? There’ll come a day when you’ll be crying!"

Ling Qiyue shot him a glare and said no more.

After entering the main hall, the women all took their seats. Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiu Yao, Qin Yun, Xue Qingtan, Meng Feiyu, Fu Yin Xue, as well as Luo Qingxuan and Yu Ruoshuang, were all present. The room was a vibrant tapestry of fine silks and jeweled hairpins, a swirl of dazzling colors and fragrant perfume.

Before Ling Changqing could even speak, Qin Mengxuan announced with a charming smile:

"Since all the sisters are here, why don’t we clear the air today? From now on, I will be the head wife. Who agrees? Who objects?"

"..."

Ling Changqing stared at her, dumbfounded and at a loss for words.

’If I had known this would happen, I never should have brought this powerhouse into my home. It’s too late for regrets now.’

He looked at the other women’s reactions. Ling Qiyue’s fine brows were slightly furrowed, her face expressionless. Luo Qingxuan’s brows were raised in anger, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Yu Ruoshuang wore a reserved smile, remaining silent in contemplation. Xue Qingtan and Meng Feiyu, the two Reincarnated Great Powers, had unreadable, half-smiling expressions, looking on as if enjoying a show, not at all concerned about stirring up trouble.

As for Liu Qianlan, Qin Yun, and Yu Yalan, they had less seniority and couldn’t say much, but their faces had all turned sour. They were clearly repulsed by Qin Mengxuan’s tactic of arriving and immediately trying to assert her dominance.

"Sister Qin, your attitude... aren’t you making things a bit too difficult for everyone?"

The cold-faced Tang Qiu Yao was the first to speak. "No matter how illustrious our husband’s status is now, he is still, after all, from our Ling Family. That is a fact no one can deny.

The Patriarch was his benefactor, his guide on the path of cultivation, and also his first Dao Companion. Therefore, the position of the official wife rightfully belongs to her.

So many of us sisters are present. We all joined the family at different times, but none of us has ever disputed this. For you to make such a declaration, Sister Qin, is to break the rules of the household. Our husband would not be pleased to see you acting so wantonly."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Ling Changqing and said softly, "Husband, say something!"

"..."
