Chapter Two Hundred And Twelve: It's Not Simple
Chapter Two Hundred And Twelve: It's Not Simple
"Shuzi and Song Xi's identities are questionable!"
Looking back, with a clear train of thought, Chu Shen easily discovered the problem.
However, most of the concubines were a bit confused.
"They are female cultivators from a dual cultivation sect, right? Their identities have already been verified, so where is the problem coming from?" Zhao Chu, as a member of the noble family, always thought of verifying identities when encountering such matters.
The law enforcement disciples of Langhuan Heavenly Palace would not have overlooked such important information. Therefore, when searching for the two women, they had already gone to Hongxiu Inn to investigate and confirmed the fact that the two women came from an unknown dual cultivation sect.
In this regard, the two women did not deceive Chu Shen.
However, Chu Shen still said, "Perhaps their backgrounds are not the problem, but what they conspired with others after leaving the sect is uncertain."
"To conspire with others just to offer their first time and revel with their husband for a few days?" Li Lingyu, who seemed even more lazy after giving birth, didn't bother to think about whether it was appropriate or not, and stuck to being straightforward.
Unfortunately, her words hit Chu Shen's sore spot, "Maybe you're right!"
Normally, when seeking pleasure for the first time, one would feel shy and reserved. Even if Shuzi and Song Xi came from dual cultivation sects and had some understanding in this area, they would still approach it with some modesty when actually engaging in it.
However, upon closer thought, Chu Shen suddenly realized that the two women had gone to great lengths in this regard, as if they were born to be seductresses.
At that time, he thought the two women were applying what they had learned, but now, upon reflection, it was not normal.
What made him feel that something was wrong with the two women was the fact that their disappearance process was too calm. It didn't seem like they were kidnapped, but rather like someone was covering their retreat.
"As we all know, I have the opportunity for dual cultivation, and you have also experienced its benefits. It's hard to say whether these two women came to spend the night with me for this opportunity. Once they have gained something, they will take the benefits and leave."
When Chu Shen said this, he was quite frustrated. The days of humming and hawing with the two girls were enough for them to brush up on their spiritual charm and spiritual root evolution. If they really got what they wanted, they could withdraw, which was not impossible.
The concubines looked at each other.
"Husband, wouldn't it be better to follow you if you say so?" Dantai Liyue said somewhat puzzledly. "Don't they understand the difference between being full and being hungry every meal?"
Chu Shen sighed. "That's also something I can't figure out. What are they really doing? It's hard to say now. We can only find them to uncover the truth."
Not only did the law enforcement disciples continue to search under his pressure, but friends like Shen Yingzi and relatives like the Dantai family also promised to help him find people. He had done everything he could, and now there were no more means available, unless he could find some kind of treasure to find people the next time he achieved something with the concubines.
Hmm? This idea could work!
Thinking of this, he became spirited and brought up the main matter of gathering the concubines. "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Currently, the situation is unclear. Let's put it aside for now. Let me first talk about my plans after this incident."
The women quickly rallied their spirits. They knew that Chu Shen would not give up easily and would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to do something.
"The first matter is related to Jinrong." Chu Shen looked at a certain princess of the Tang Immortal Dynasty.
After giving birth, Li Jinrong had gained a little weight and looked very soft. Now she pointed to her own face, and a faint vortex appeared on her fair and tender fingers. "Me?"
Chu Shen nodded. "It hasn't been long since you were forced into a political marriage, but it's estimated that you won't be able to achieve the goal of advancing to the ninth level of Foundation Building and entering the inner palace as an official disciple..."
Li Jinrong pouted slightly, feeling unhappy. It was really difficult to make progress in cultivation. Even if she worked hard, time was simply not enough.
"But this disappearance case provides a different opportunity. I thought, why not take advantage of this opportunity to make our marriage real? If there is pressure from the Tang Immortal Dynasty, it would be necessary for the Xiaojia and the Heavenly Palace, which owe my family a favor in the Shenzi case and this disappearance case, to come forward and help."
But Li Jinrong frowned. "Is it reliable? If there's a first and second, there might be a third. I think that Yan Shu senior sister is unreliable."
This statement is correct. In fact, Chu Shen doesn't consider Yan Shu to be a reliable support anymore, but he still has some confidence in this matter.
"Of course, I can't rely on her, my senior sister... hehe, it sounds nice to say 'considering the overall situation', but it's actually 'lacking responsibility'. She has excellent talent, but she is quite scheming. She is someone who would compromise and betray someone like me who has no power or influence. How can I put my hope in her?"
Chu Shen mercilessly criticized a certain senior sister, revealing some personal emotions.
"Then why did you say that Tian Gong should provide some support?"
"Who said that Yan Shu is the only one who has a say in Langhuan Tian Gong? Since she can't help, don't blame me for seeking help from others. This is also the second thing I want to do." As he said this, he also looked at Gong Liusu.
"What do you want me to do?" Gong Liusu couldn't help but ask.
Chu Shen chuckled, "You are now my concubine, and I can be considered as a son-in-law of Lingjian Peak, right? So, when we encounter something, it's reasonable for the elders of Lingjian Peak to step forward, isn't it?"
Ah, this...
Gong Liusu thought for a moment and nodded, "Master loves me, and he will love you too."
This love means protection, not romantic love, but Chu Shen understood: "Yes, that's right. This is a force. With more forces like this, I will be in control. I want to see if Yan Shu dares to prioritize 'the overall situation'!"
Now, most of the concubines understood his meaning.
"Do you want to form an alliance?"
In Nanping City, officials and merchants often do this kind of thing, so Hu Chuanshan and others immediately understood.
In fact, after the incident at the Xiao family, Chu Shen planned to take in more concubines to strengthen his power and expand his influence. The concubines knew about his plan and did not object.
First, the attack on the Xiao family made them fully realize the necessity of Chu Shen's actions. His improvement in strength is their protection.
Second, most of them have children, who are also talented in cultivation. They have someone to rely on and do not need to worry about the future.
Third, after embarking on the path of cultivation, even the concubines who were originally mortals have experienced the difficulties of cultivation. It is impossible for them to be with Chu Shen day and night like mortal couples. Since Chu Shen has such opportunities and techniques, they do not want to hinder his cultivation with their relationships.
However, the incident involving the Xiao family had a significant impact and was entangled with various interests and forces. In order to avoid trouble, the Chu family had to remain silent in the Qunyu Palace for a year, only moving around the surrounding area, without giving Shen the opportunity to take in concubines on a large scale.
They couldn't really let him bring back a bunch of fox spirits, snake spirits, bird people from the Lingjue Peak, right?
These monsters and mountain creatures would probably be happy, as they wouldn't care about these details.
The concubines of the Chu family, on the other hand, adhere to the concept that humans are humans and monsters are monsters, and they resist more.
It's fine if they are half-human, but if Chu Shen were to have any contact with those non-human beings and then come back to befriend them, they would have a hard time accepting it psychologically.
Especially if fox spirits and others were to enter the Chu family, and in their excitement, couldn't help but reveal their true forms, what a horrifying scene it would be?
In any case, the concubines of the Chu family would be devastated at the thought of such a possibility happening in bed.
Unless they cultivate to the level of Shen Yingzi and undergo a transformation in their essence, no longer having to worry about reverting to their original forms.
But beings like Shen Yingzi have their own peculiarities. For example, in terms of sexual relationships, they are not like humans who can be aroused anytime, anywhere. At least, Chu Shen has been with her for over a year and has never seen her desire a man.
So at that time, Chu Shen had the desire to take in concubines to become stronger, but there were no suitable candidates.
Now things are different. As a prodigy who has proven himself through his fists, and with Gong Liusu as an example, he can try to pursue senior sisters and junior sisters from the various peaks.
This is for cultivation and strengthening his strength, not just for lust!
