Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 179 Intentional?

In the year of Wushen, it is the Lesser Heat.

It’s the 22nd day since my aunt started building her foundation.

On the official road outside Songshan County, a breeze blew in with heat waves, and the chirping of crickets echoed deep in the lush locust trees.

From time to time, a horse-drawn carriage passed by here, and the wooden shaft rolled over the earth and rocks, making a creaking sound.

……

The scorching afternoon sun light drifted down gently and softly, sprinkling on the locust trees on both sides of the official road, leaving patches of golden spots.

The clatter of horse hooves came from far away, stirring up a slight cloud of dust.

Zhao Qing and his family traveled on horseback from Lin'an County and finally arrived in Songshan County.

Although they were fully capable of controlling the wind with the help of talismans and it would take them less than a day to reach this place... they had no worries in their hearts and felt very comfortable as they walked and stopped.

Because my aunt has been building her foundation for a thousand days.

Along the way, Zhao Qing and his aunt rode on one horse, while Shuyue and Qinghuan leaned on another horse and played around.

At this moment, Zhao Qing placed his hands lightly on the hips of the woman in front of him, and could clearly feel Xiaoyi's tight and slightly lean waist.

Completely different from Shuyue Qinghuan.

Shuyue has a slightly delicate figure, and her waist is as tight as a bow but not thick enough to be held in one hand.

Qinghuan has been practicing dancing for many years, and her slender waist is as soft as a little white snake.

Having said that, Qinghuan has a beautiful face, a goose-like neck like jade, towering and tall breasts, and long and slender legs... Although she has a plump figure, she is the lightest among the three.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is a beauty on earth.

……

A crisp, sweet scent lingered around my nose. My aunt leaned over slightly, looked back, and said, "Next year during the Jingzhe Festival, let's go back to Changshengfang to see the peach blossoms. There will also be spiritual peaches and Qinghe fish to eat."

Zhao Qing nodded with a smile.

The Lingtao and Qinghe fish in Changshengfang can only be eaten in spring. Although they are not of much help to their practice, people still have to travel and explore in their lifetime.

You know, the magical peaches from Changshengfang are extremely sought-after treasures in the cultivation world of Chu State.

It has a significant beneficial effect on the meridians of the cultivator, and can even slightly clear away the poison in the body.

Shuyue leaned over and buried her pretty face between Qinghuan's clothes. She said in a crisp voice, "Then we can come back to Lanxian Town to have a look next year."

Let’s go back to Lanxian Town and take a look…

Zhao Qing's mind was slightly moved. He wanted to go back to Changshengfang and Lanxian Town...

Right now, Qing Huan and I have become Blood Robe disciples and are in the State of Chu... We must go back to Danxia Sect to visit Cheng Yue.

We haven’t been to the Duke’s Mansion either…and Tianshui County, the whole family wants to go there for a few days.

The other is Li Yan’s disciple from Qianyuan Palace, close to Chu Xin.

This Nascent Soul cultivator has an appointment with Si He, but there is no rush... they can talk about it later.

Liu Zijing also wanted to take himself and Qinghuan outside the State of Chu to listen to his senior brother Xueyi teach him the way of cultivating qi and blood.

There's also a tea party in the bamboo forest behind the Changsheng Sword Sect...

Hong Ning from Tianxiang and Kong Yang from Cuiyuan both said they would come to Songshan to visit me...but there has been no news yet.

"call……"

Zhao Qing sniffed the fragrance in front of him, twisted Xiaoyi's cold face with his big hand, and looked at the woman in front of him, gradually revealing a teasing look.

A few years ago, he could never have imagined it.

This cold and beautiful woman who used to be very frugal with words will one day put herself in a bun and let herself be bumped into.

Zhou Xiaoyi twisted her waist slightly and said teasingly, "Dad has been enjoying himself immensely these past few days."

"Shi Xiaoyi also stepped on the medicinal herbs, drank the nectar in the Jade Purity Bottle, and Chunfengdu even took more than ten bottles. Even the use of Foxtail Powder was at the discretion of Father."

Qinghuan was riding on another horse. When she heard Xiaoyi mention the jade bottle, her phoenix eyes fluttered gently and her face turned red.

Shuyue looked calm, as if she had heard nothing.

Zhao Qing's mind was in turmoil, and the Yin Hua belonging to Si He in his mind also began to ripple.

He looked into Xiaoyi's playful eyes and said softly, "How do you want to plan for the next few days?"

"snort!"

The woman snorted softly, her eyes swept across the endless official road, then she raised the reins in her hand and gently lifted her man's chin.

"No rush... After a thousand days of foundation building, Xiaoyi can slowly comprehend it."

Her beautiful eyes were full of sarcasm, her voice came from her nasal cavity, and her words were extremely provocative.

"For the next three days, I want you and Shuyue to serve me together. Is that okay?"

Zhao Qing was silent for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "What about Qing Huan?"

Zhou Xiaoyi squinted her eyes and smiled, "Qing Huan is naturally watching from the side."

hum!

A buzzing sound echoed in my mind, and wisps of Yin Hua rippled down.

A panel appeared before my eyes.

【Sihe】

[Respect each other like guests]

[Gained lifespan: five days]

Zhao Qing: ...

What's wrong with the director recently?

Did he learn bad things?

He pondered, "When a beauty asks for something, a husband should satisfy her... But please don't blame me for humiliating you in the future."

The woman in front of him chuckled and shook her head: "Is Xiaoyi really that ignorant of the fun of it?"

She tilted her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at Shuyue...

Wang Shuyue's pretty face blushed and her pink lips were slightly pursed.

After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Shuyue will follow your arrangements."

"only……"

Her eyes flashed, and she said angrily, "In the future, Shuyue will also need a thousand days to build her foundation. Husband, please remember this!"

Zhao Qing: ...

The three of them looked at Qinghuan at the same time.

The usually taciturn Second Madam shook her head indifferently and said softly, "Qinghuan is building her foundation every day, so she doesn't need such pleasure... As long as she can see the master, she is content."

Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows. Did Qing Huan really not want to try to turn things around? Why did her words sound so teasing?

……

Not long after, the group of four arrived at a dilapidated manor outside Songshanfang.

It is located between Songshanfang and Lingxi County, only three miles away from Songshanfang, and the official road is not far from the gate...

The entire manor is shaded by lush locust trees, making it extremely cool.

The ancient and vigorous lapis lazuli gate appeared to be rusted, and on the half-tilted plaque there were large gilded characters - Zhao.

Looking at the courtyard wall in front of him that was dozens of feet wide, Zhao Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath while holding the spiritually engraved jade slip given to him by Shen Mo... He thought it was a house.

I didn’t expect it to be a manor covering several acres!

Isn't this... a little too big?

Qinghuan and Shuyue were also surprised and felt it was unbelievable.

Only my aunt looked calm, but she also sighed softly, "It's a little more spacious than the Duke's Mansion."

Silently, a panel appeared in front of Zhao Qing's eyes.

【Zhou Xiaoyi】

[Bond: Sharing Weal and Woe]

Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and Xiaoyi's bond changed again, the same as Qinghuan... only one level was left to complete it.

I don’t know what rewards they will get then.

A gentle breeze blew, and he shook off all distracting thoughts from his mind.

The bond between the three of them didn't require any special effort to overcome, and they just let it flow, bit by bit, and accumulated to this level... which was quite good.

Zhao Qing is now calm and composed.

It doesn’t matter whether the bond is upgraded or not. It’s best if it is upgraded, but there is no need to worry if it is not upgraded.

It is enough as long as the family of four can stay together peacefully.

The woman in his arms continued, "The walls of the courtyard are much higher than those of the Duke's Mansion. All we need to do is repaint the gate with red lacquer and it will become a magnificent manor."

Zhao Qing smiled, grabbed her slender waist and got off the horse.

I can only listen to what my aunt says.

This place may be bigger than the Duke's Mansion... but it definitely doesn't have the grandeur of the Duke's Mansion.

The Zhou family currently has Jindan in charge and is also a tribute to the royal family.

The head of the family is the prime minister of a country. It is no exaggeration to say that... if my aunt were in the capital, she would also be a princess of a very high status.

This small mansion outside Lingxi County cannot be compared with the Duke's Mansion at all.

But it can be seen that my aunt is very satisfied with this place.

At this moment, Zhao Qing didn't hesitate at all and directly used his spiritual power to destroy the lock on the courtyard gate...

It doesn’t matter whose Zhuangzi this was before, it will be named Zhao from now on.

A group of four people walked in one after another, and were all deeply shocked by the scene before them.

Zhao Qing couldn't help but look back at the courtyard wall behind him, feeling helpless.

What appeared before my eyes was an extremely open grassland, more than ten feet wide and long, no different from the world outside the courtyard wall.

There are several houses dotted on both sides, which should be where the servants guarding the gate live.

There is a horse trough not far away, which is also very spacious...more than enough to raise more than ten mounts.

Zhao Qing unconsciously looked at the two horses beside him and fell into deep thought.

This is just something my aunt and Shuyue picked randomly at the horse market in Lin'an County... Should we get two good horses to raise in the future?

He casually tied the reins in his hand to a towering ancient locust tree, then sealed the courtyard door with his spiritual power, intending to explore his own home first...

Walking slowly along the open grassland, it didn't take long to reach the bluestone floor.

From here on... is the real Zhao family manor.

The group of four went up the green steps, and the terrain gradually became higher. On the flat ground behind them were the kitchen and toilet, but they were also quite far away.

After walking up thirteen relatively flat green steps, the scenery behind you can be seen in full view.

In front of you is a complete bluestone-carved martial arts field, covering a very large area.

There are guest rooms all around, which should be the residences of the younger generation in the family and ordinary guests.

Zhao Qing slowly walked to the south side of the martial arts arena, casually pulled out a spear from the weapon rack, and danced lightly...

quack!

The solid jujube wood spear shaft suddenly broke, completely unable to withstand his thrust.

"Just an ordinary soldier..."

He turned around and stood with Shuyue, looking back at the green steps together.

The lush grass covered the entire front yard, with horse troughs, kitchens, toilets, gatehouses... dotted around the eyes.

Standing here, you can clearly see the scenery above the official road.

If there are guests visiting outside, they can easily see the other party's situation from the martial arts field.

Starting from the north side of the martial arts field, there are winding stone steps that lead to the backyard through the rockery and clear pond.

My aunt didn't stop, she moved her long legs slowly and went to the backyard to check first.

Zhao Qing and the other two followed behind, already looking forward to a happy life in the future.

After walking up the winding stone steps and stepping onto the clear pond and flower fields, you will arrive at the real heart of Zhuangzi.

Another huge martial arts arena appeared before our eyes, with magnificent screen walls standing on both sides.

There is an extremely vigorous character "Meng" engraved on it.

Looking at the martial arts field in front of him, which was dozens of feet long and wide, the mirror-like bluestone reflected the setting sun, which looked extremely majestic.

"Meng..."

My aunt narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said with her red lips: "The Meng family in Songshan County..."

"It's truly a cultivation clan's manor, but the Meng family was destroyed by the prince long ago... We can just replace these two Meng family screen walls in the future."

She came from a clan, and now she explained to Shuyue and Qinghuan.

"The Meng family originally had a foundation-building master."

"The martial arts training ground in the back mountain should be used by the direct disciples, and the one we just passed is for the collateral disciples."

"As for the kitchen and toilet near the gate, they are also used by servants and disciples."

"The place where we are going to live should be even deeper."

……

The group of four continued walking and passed the winding stone steps. Walking here, they could already see the scenery below the mountain.

Nearby are rockery, clear ponds and flower fields, while in the distance you can have a panoramic view of the two martial arts arenas. Even the scenery outside the official road can be appreciated.

This time the stone steps seemed much narrower, barely enough for five people to walk side by side.

Finally, the four of them stopped at the end of the stone steps.

In front of me was a pavilion about two meters wide and long, with three forked roads.

There is a path leading to the back mountain of Zhuangzi, which is dotted with terraced fields, fruit trees, flowers and plants. A small stream runs through here and leads directly to the clear pond in the front yard.

The other two forks in the road happen to be opposite each other.

On one side is a slightly more refined open-air martial arts field, protected by a spiritual formation.

On the other side... is a threshold as high as the knees. This is where the head of the family lives.

Zhao Qing stepped over the threshold uncomfortably and took in the scene before him.

There is a main hall, four side rooms, and nothing else.

His mind was wavering... Is this the place where a cultivation clan comes from?

I'm afraid those small sects that occupy a few counties are no more than this.

Wang Shuyue's eyes had already turned from surprise to excitement...

Zhao Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Shuyue has always been a petty person. Even though she is now in charge of the family's spirit stones, she is always very careful with her calculations...

Suddenly giving her such a big farm really messed up the little beauty's thoughts.

The wife said crisply, "Let's live here from now on."

"We can plant some Linggu rice in the back mountain, raise some fish in the clear pond, and plant some lotus flowers."

Qing Huan shook his head slightly and said softly, "It's better to let Qing Huan grow some Dan grass. The spiritual valley still needs to be taken care of. It's better to buy it directly from the market."

The aunt's beautiful eyes fluttered as she looked at Zhao Qing and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

I?

Zhao Qing pondered and said, "It doesn't matter what I plant. I'm thinking of getting a couple of nice horses in the front yard to ride."

My aunt's eyes were frivolous, and she asked doubtfully, "Want to ride a horse?"

"Do you think Qing Huan isn't intense enough?"

After hearing this, Shuyue hurried to the main hall to check the layout and ignored them.

Zhao Qing's lips trembled slightly... I really want to ride a horse.

After all, I had never ridden this thing in my previous life. Now that conditions are better, wouldn’t it be nice to have two mounts?

Qinghuan's eyes trembled slightly, and she didn't care about Xiaoyi's teasing.

Smiling, she said, "The martial arts arena is very large. No matter how fierce a horse the master wants to ride, Qinghuan is willing to accompany him."

Zhao Qing: ...

He looked at the two people who were attacking crazily and felt a little overwhelmed.

Shuyue was indeed foresighted...she had already slipped away.

However, it can be seen that my aunt and Qinghuan are extremely relaxed at the moment. They are the only family living in such a spacious manor, and they have already let themselves go.

Before Zhao Qing could fight back, a female cultivator appeared within the range of his spiritual consciousness and headed straight towards the manor.

I have never seen such a level of cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage...

When the spiritual consciousness was touched, a light and ethereal sound condensed into music.

"Songshanfang Bloody Clothes Tower, Zeng Nianke."

"I heard that Zhao was stationed in Songshan, so I came to see him!"

Zhao Qing: ...

Why is she a female shopkeeper?

Did Liu Zijing do it on purpose?
