On the 11th and 19th of the month, it is auspicious to pray for blessings, but inauspicious to break ground.

At the beginning of Shen time.

Perhaps knowing that what was to come would involve not only the position of the main wife in the family, but also the position of an empress, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue became even more diligent in their daily cultivation.

Basically, aside from spending time with Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were either cultivating or fighting.

Just now, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had just finished their afternoon nap and rushed outside the city to fight before returning.

Beside the stone table.

Chu Qinghe rested his chin on one hand, while the other hand moved his fingers lightly, causing the white chess pieces to flip back and forth on his fingers.

On the opposite side of Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan's true energy was constantly circulating within her body. As Qu Feiyan's face turned pale and then red, expressions of fear and anger constantly shifted, and beads of sweat continuously slid down Qu Feiyan's cheeks.

Qu Feiyan, however, seemed completely oblivious to all of this, sitting blankly on the stone bench, fiddling with the chess pieces.

As Chu Qinghe continued to gently move his fingers, causing the white chess pieces to flip between his fingers, he sighed softly to himself.

"No, we still need to take it easy and do it in rotation."

Since he had shown the three women his strength on the first day by being audacious, even though he used acupuncture for a considerable period of time afterward, it still took him a long time to recover.

Moreover, Chu Qinghe himself is such a skilled physician that he naturally knows what it means to take things slowly and steadily, rather than to exhaust the resources of a resource-intensive endeavor.

A well-fed man may not know the hunger of a starving man, but how can a starving man know how much work a well-fed man has to do after he has eaten his fill?

Just like Chu Qinghe, whose appetite has increased significantly since Yaoyue returned.

It was purely because the few days after Yaoyue returned were too exhausting.

In the following days, Chu Qinghe was constantly in a bad mood during the day, and even after recovering at night, he had to continue to work hard.

It wasn't until Chu Qinghe made up his mind during this period that he recovered his spirits and decided not to let Dongfang Bubai and the other two women enjoy the fruits of others' labor every day.

However, at that moment, as if sensing something, Chu Qinghe suddenly glanced at Qu Feiyan.

When Chu Qinghe's gaze fell on Qu Feiyan's face and he took in her expression, he gently tossed the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard.

When the chess piece landed on the board, creating a halo and ripples, Qu Feiyan, who had been sitting blankly opposite, finally woke up and couldn't help but gasp for breath.

After a dozen or so breaths, as Qu Feiyan's emotions calmed down a little, she glanced at Chu Qinghe with a resentful look before walking unsteadily to the steps beside the courtyard and saying to Lin Shiyin, "Sister Lin, it's your turn."

Upon hearing the sound, a bitter expression also appeared on Lin Shiyin's face.

But she still got up and slowly walked towards Chu Qinghe.

Half an hour later.

After Lianxing had also gone through the Linglong Heart-Questioning three times, she returned to Qu Feiyan and Lin Shiyin with a pained expression. The three of them then sat pitifully on the steps by the courtyard to process their inner gloom.

Compared to the three women, Lianxing, Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai, and Shuimu Yinji all had their brows slightly furrowed as they closed their eyes and circulated their true energy.

Clearly, the three women were not in a very good mood after experiencing the previous Linglong Inquiry.

After a short while, as her emotions calmed down, Qu Feiyan looked at the jellyfish Yin Ji beside her and asked, "Sister Situ, what images came to mind when you faced the young master's inquisitive questions?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Shuimu Yinji sighed and said, "What I saw was the scene after I went mad in the Divine Water Palace."

After thinking for a moment, Qu Feiyan glanced at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue and whispered, "Do you know what kind of illusions Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang experienced?"

As for the others, that's another story.

Characters like Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai are both fearless.

Qu Feiyan believes it should not

It should create hallucinations.

However, both women were equally susceptible to Chu Qinghe's exquisite questioning, which aroused Qu Feiyan's curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji chuckled and said, "Eldest sister and second sister, after each of their 'Exquisite Heart-Questioning' experiences, they always run outside the city to have a fight. What do you think their illusions are?"

Listening to what the Water Mother Yin Ji said, Qu Feiyan seemed to understand, and a look of realization appeared on her face.

A moment later, Qu Feiyan turned to look at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, we've performed the Linglong Inquiry dozens of times in the past twenty days, why can't we break through this illusion?"

Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's question, Lianxing and the other girls also looked up at Chu Qinghe.

Meeting the gazes of the women, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Demons arise from the heart. All inner demons actually refer to the things that the human heart is most vulnerable to and that one is unwilling to relive or experience again. These are mostly tragedies, unbearable past events, and tragic experiences. The martial arts in the Jianghu that can lead people to the demonic path mostly use this method to stimulate the practitioner, so that the seven emotions and six desires are used as fuel to combine with memories to construct some illusions."

"Because it is so deeply ingrained in one's memory, this first kind of inner demon is the most difficult to overcome, but once overcome, it greatly enhances one's state of mind."

Qu Feiyan thought for a moment, then pointed at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue and said, "Then why do Sister Yue, Sister Dongfang, and even Sister Situ react so calmly after each Linglong Inquiry? Especially Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue, their mood calms down after a fight following the Linglong Inquiry?"

In response, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "What they are experiencing can't be considered a mental demon. At most, it's just that the Linglong Questioning creates some images of failure in their minds, causing them to lose their composure. Naturally, it's much milder than your reaction."
