Chapter 310: 173, 174. Daily Life at King Song’s Mansion, Surveying Westward, Medicine of Immortality (Please Subscribe)_2
Yue Beiqing naturally counted as a legendary figure in the Martial Arts World.
But even such a legendary figure was merely a maid and protector of Madam Tong, and her strength was at the Pseudo-Profound Realm.
The reason why this woman was willing to serve as a protector for Madam Tong wholeheartedly was for the blessing of "Emperor Monarch Xuanwu," to take another leap in the Qi Realm and step into the pseudo-profound.
If one could extend their lifespan by thirty years, anyone would lay down their dignity, bend their knees, and serve their master.
Moreover... Madam Tong was very kind to people.
At the moment she was blessed by Emperor Monarch Xuanwu, Yue Qingbei already understood the terrifying identity of this King Song, so... she was willing to change her name and bury her identity, coming to serve as a maid to the Emperor Monarch’s Lady.
It was not only because the name of the Emperor Monarch was not to be defied, but also because she wanted to see if she could remove the "pseudo" from "Pseudo-Profound Realm" while being closer to the Emperor.
Just now, Tong Jia asked her to search through Song An’s room to see if there were any dirty or family shaming items.
Yue Beiqing complied.
Searching a house, for a legendary palace master of the Martial Arts World, was definitely an overkill.
Yue Beiqing quickly opened a few hidden mechanisms with ease and took out the objects within.
At this moment, Qing came in front of Madam Tong, presenting the searched items respectfully, "Madam, these were found in the young master’s room."
Song An immediately panicked and, disregarding manners, abruptly rose to his feet, his hands moving with lightning speed, attempting to snatch the items back.
But Qing merely flickered in form, eluding Song An’s attempted grab, and then handed a small box to Tong Jia.
Tong Jia glared fiercely at Song An.
"Kneel down!"
Seeing he couldn’t get the items back, Song An yelled, "Mom, can’t I have any secrets of my own?"
"Secrets?" Madam Tong opened the box, only to see it filled with sachets.
Each sachet was stitched with gold and inlaid with jade, exquisitely crafted.
Upon opening them slightly, they revealed various tokens of affection.
Madam Tong read the names one by one.
Some names she recognized, some she did not.
But with Qing there, her queries were always promptly answered.
Having looked through them all, Madam Tong felt completely numb.
All these tokens of affection were from daughters of noble families within the Imperial City, even including those of the Ji Family and Yan Family, whose imperial standing had declined...
And in total, there were sixteen of them.
Madam Tong glanced at her son and said, "Song An, my my, collecting over a dozen oirans outside and talking about taking concubines; here we have sixteen young ladies with whom you’ve exchanged tokens, talking about marrying them all back home legitimately... "
She tilted her head back, inhaling deeply to calm her emotions, and said, "Indeed, the Song Family has become quite accomplished!"
Then she glared at Song An fiercely, "How come your dad never had such talents?"
Song An, seeing his mother not able to hide her anger, hurriedly said, "Mom, take a breather, it was all just for fun."
"Just for fun?"
Madam Tong grabbed a bamboo strip, raising her hand to strike.
Song An chuckled, "Mom, it’s no use... it won’t hurt even if you hit me."
He was handsome, and now he had grown tall and sturdy, with compelling strength. His muscles were compressed against his frame, displaying graceful lines and latent explosive power. At this moment, with a mischievous smile, he distinctly possessed a bit of the immutable charm of a youthful prodigy. With such a demeanor outside, as long as he smiled at any young girl and crooked his finger, that girl would probably start calling him "brother" incessantly.
Seeing her son like this, Madam Tong was nearly on the verge of fainting, and when she thought about how her son, who was only sixteen by the lunar calendar, had already been such a playboy, she almost went insane...
"Kneel!!"
"Alright, I’ll listen to you, Mom."
"You just wait!!"
Seeing she couldn’t subdue her son, Madam Tong left a stern word and then hurried out to find Song Cheng.
...
...
Song Cheng was playing with the "Seal."
Even after ten years, he was still stuck at the Profound Level B grade, simply because reaching Profound Level A required the "Four Evil" lands... this forced him to continue the Canal Project.
He felt very ironic.
Previously, the Saint Heavenly Buddha was involved with the "canal."
The "canal" wasn’t only about directing ghosts into the sea but also related to the "Four Evil" lands...
He would rather manually control them than let the "Four Evil" lands form on their own.
Now that he was in charge, he still needed the "Demon-subduing Arhat, now the Demon Subduing True Man," and "Yan Muyi, who had obtained the name of Liuyi True Man," to continue the project.
But the difference was, the Saint Heavenly Buddha desired turmoil for the world.
Yet, he wished for everything to be peaceful.
He secretly manipulated the Emperor, lowering taxes, valuing agriculture, and encouraging childbirth...
Now, the Drowning Ghost had thoroughly swallowed Ghost Hair, Burnt Ghost, Ghost Hand... but it still wasn’t enough...
It was unable to form a "Ghost of the Four Evil" capable of bearing "Four Evil" lands.
Therefore, Demon Subduing True Man and Liuyi True Man were carrying the Sun Nine-Patterned Golden Coffin around, catching ghosts to cobble together an opponent that could clash with the Drowning Ghost...
Manually controlled fusion couldn’t be too quick, because if it was, the whole thing would just fall into chaos.
Although Song Cheng didn’t agree with the notion of "disrupting Yin and Yang with a Chaotic World," he did know that "If the world wasn’t ready yet, the terrifying Ghost of the Four Evil should not be born prematurely."
Ghosts possess considerable "inertia"; they are only active during the Ghost Tide and sleep at other times. Even during the Ghost Tide, the larger the ghost, the more difficult it is to mobilize. It’s as if there’s a tendency... to take root in one place and not move.
In his study of ghosts, Song Cheng never stopped, yet he learned slightly.
And the "Seal" he toyed with in his hands, made of "Sun Nine-Pattern Gold," reputed to help people through the Reappear Calamity, seemed all the more mysterious.
