Only after Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao had both broken through safely did Chu Qinghe retract his attention.
As Chu Qinghe slowly absorbed the remaining annihilation intent from the wooden carving with one hand and used it to nourish his own annihilation sword intent, he used his other hand to pick up the wooden carving that sealed Meng Chixing's power and absorb the energy into his body.
However, he was multitasking, cultivating his sword intent while simultaneously refining these abilities to enhance his own power.
........
In the afternoon, after his meridians began to feel a slight swelling and pain, Chu Qinghe, who had been cultivating continuously, finally stopped absorbing the power from the wooden carving and refining it.
Feeling the current state of his body, and considering the residual power within the wooden carving, Chu Qinghe estimated that he should have no problem advancing his cultivation to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm before the Lantern Festival.
Although it is unclear how many undercurrents are still swirling in the world.
However, given the current situation, once Chu Qinghe enters the early stage of the Celestial Realm, his strength will leap forward again, giving him the confidence to deal with even the unseen undercurrents.
Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe propped his face up with one hand, sipped the warm wine on the table, and turned his gaze to the women in the courtyard.
Gradually, I let my thoughts drift away.
And so, as dusk settled, the other women in the courtyard were each absorbed in their cultivation, while Chu Qinghe sat at the stone table, sometimes drinking wine, sometimes glancing at the women, and sometimes focusing his gaze on the swirling snow in the air.
A gentle breeze occasionally swept by, and because of the stoves placed around, the wind that should have been bitingly cold became somewhat warm when it reached Chu Qinghe's face, making him inexplicably lazy.
Just like the little guy on Chu Qinghe's shoulder right now.
As the warm breeze filtered by the stove blew around them, the little guy couldn't help but yawn and then fell asleep on Chu Qinghe's shoulder.
A life full of ups and downs may be enjoyable, but it is always only temporary.
Peaceful days are what truly bring lasting happiness.
With cats, wine, and beautiful women, meals are casual and life is carefree; this is the most beautiful time in the world.
By evening, the pond in the backyard was already eight-tenths full.
Amidst the swirling mist, the mist, which should have been transparent, turned slightly reddish due to the wine poured into the pool.
After splashing herself into the pool, Qu Feiyan emerged from the water and swung her limbs to get closer to the edge of the pool.
As she rested her head on the edge of the pool, her face bare, she felt the slightly cool touch of melting snowflakes on her face. The little girl's eyes narrowed in comfort.
Beside Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin also rested their heads on the edge of the pool, their faces bare, feeling the medicinal power enter their bodies and turn into a warm current flowing through their meridians. Both women had expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
Perhaps it's just a habit that's formed over time.
Or perhaps it's the unique atmosphere and charm of the courtyard itself.
Only when they returned to this courtyard could the women feel the leisure and peace of life.
This feeling is especially pronounced and captivating after a long day of travel.
At this moment, as if remembering something, Qu Feiyan spoke up: "Eh? Where is Sister Lianxing?"
Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's voice, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin, who were standing nearby, also noticed that something was wrong.
Xiao Zhao asked blankly, "I saw Sister Lianxing and Sister Situ walking towards the backyard together earlier! Could it be that something urgent happened at Yihua Palace that they had to deal with?"
However, just as Xiao Zhao finished speaking, a voice clearly filled with excitement and pride suddenly rang out from the other side of the pool.
"Don't think about it, I'm with my brother-in-law."
The familiar voice startled the three women, Qu Feiyan and the others, who were in the pool.
Beside her, looking at Lianxing, whose face was beaming with smugness and pride, Shuimu Yinji couldn't help but smile inwardly.
After all, when she first got to take a bath at Chu Qinghe's place, her feelings were similar to Lianxing's now.
There was an urge to announce this good news to the world.
Perhaps the news was too shocking, because even after they finished bathing, Qu Feiyan and the other two women kept staring at Lianxing.
After a long while, Qu Feiyan glanced at Chu Qinghe, who was playing chess with Shuimu Yinji, and said quietly as her true energy spread, "No wonder you were always arm in arm with Sister Situ a while ago. I thought you were plotting something. It turns out you were secretly plotting against Young Master's drinking yesterday. You were deliberately provoking me, weren't you?"
When asked by Qu Feiyan, Lianxing replied without hesitation, "That's right, what happened last night was something that Sister Situ and I came up with together."
Seeing that Lianxing had admitted it, Lin Shiyin did not find it strange.
As a woman herself, Lin Shiyin naturally understood Chu Qinghe's charm.
Even a brief encounter can unconsciously draw you in.
Not to mention that after spending a long time together, one might unknowingly become deeply entangled and unable to extricate oneself.
Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, looked at Lianxing's appearance and curled her lips, saying, "I don't know what kind of bewitching potion you gave Sister Situ, that made her willing to help you."
Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lianxing couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Clearly, from Qu Feiyan's words, Lianxing knew that Qu Feiyan was still unaware of Shuimu Yinji's schemes.
But that makes sense.
If it weren't for Jellyfish Yin Ji revealing it herself, even Lian Xing might not know that Jellyfish Yin Ji's scheme was so grand.
