Chapter 59: A Crafty Rabbit Has Three Burrows, Seeking a Way Out

Inside the Azure Cloud Manor, Liu Qinghui and Qin Changqing sat facing each other with a chessboard between them.

“Changqing, the situation is roughly like this. The current Ten Sects have reached an agreement with the Demonic Path, and we are also under the pressure of the Wan Yao Old Ancestor. However, this is more beneficial than harmful to both sides, but it will be hard on you again.”

Liu Qinghui gave a wry smile.

Qin Changqing picked up a black piece, gazing at the chessboard, and said with a smile, “Sect Leader is too polite. This won’t have much impact on me. However, Sect Leader still needs to be cautious, and don’t nurture a tiger to invite disaster!”

Giving birth to high-quality immortal seedlings for the Demonic Path is tantamount to increasing their strength. The righteous and demonic paths cannot be peaceful forever; the two sides are destined to turn against each other.

Liu Qinghui said, “We naturally understand this, so we only told them that we can only conceive heavenly spiritual roots at most. Today, I came to confirm with you whether you can control the aptitude of your descendants?”

But when you're under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head. Currently, he didn’t have much room for choice.

Liu Qinghui was immediately overjoyed: “This is not a problem. As long as you can control the aptitude of your descendants, it will be easy to handle. As for spirit stones, we will collect a million spirit stones for each woman sent by the Demonic Path, and all of these will be yours!”

Qin Changqing felt a little more comfortable in his heart. The original heavenly spiritual root required the consumption of ten thousand spirit stones, and now giving him a hundred times that amount was considered a very good compensation.

“Hahahaha, Changqing, you’ve lost!”

Liu Qinghui pointed at the chessboard and laughed.

Qin Changqing looked at the chessboard, smiled, and cupped his hands: “Sect Leader’s chess skills are indeed superb. This junior admits defeat!”

Liu Qinghui waved his hand, chuckled, and stood up: “You are also a master. You are the first person in the entire sect to push me to such a state. It’s most enjoyable to play chess with you. Elder Cao and the others are all lousy chess players. I won’t play anymore, I’m going back!”

Qin Changqing quickly stood up and said, “Respectfully seeing off Sect Leader!”

Watching Liu Qinghui leave through the air, Qin Changqing’s expression slowly returned to indifference. He looked at the chessboard, suddenly picked up a black piece and pressed it down on a certain position, then turned and left.

If Liu Qinghui were to come back and take a look at this moment, he would definitely be shocked to find that this black piece directly revived the inevitable losing situation and, in turn, forced the white pieces into a dead end…

Qin Changqing returned to his room, spread out paper on his desk, and began to think silently while grinding ink.

This was a habit he had developed over the years. Whenever he encountered something, he liked to write and draw, which could quickly allow his brain to enter a more sober state.

Now that the Four Great Demonic Sects have also joined the ranks of nurturing spiritual roots, this is also beneficial to the Jing Country cultivation world, and to him.

At least his children can develop stably for a period of time without him having to rescue them everywhere.

However, doing so always has huge hidden dangers. The Demonic Path are all ruthless and insidious people who can turn their faces at any time.

If the Four Great Demonic Sects were to find out in the future that the Ten Sects can also mass-produce children who surpass heavenly spiritual roots, then it would definitely enrage the Demonic Path, and it might once again set off a war between the righteous and demonic paths.

At that time, it might really call for the Wan Yao Old Ancestor to enter the arena, and it would be difficult to say what the situation would be like.

He had also heard Liu Qinghui talk about that terrifying Wan Yao Old Ancestor. He was an existence in the Fusion Realm, with overwhelming strength. He didn’t want to fall under the control of the Wan Yao Old Ancestor.

Although the righteous path is sometimes quite hypocritical, they will at least pretend and give Qin Changqing enough respect.

The Demonic Path mostly acts without any bottom line. If he fell into the hands of the Demonic Path, his life would definitely not be as comfortable and leisurely as it is now. At that time, he would most likely be forced by those demonic cultivators to have children, squeezing out all of his exploitable value!

Moreover, he didn’t want his future children to become demonic spawns.

“It seems that I must find a way out for myself…”

Qin Changqing dipped his brush in the ink in the inkstone and, after pondering for a moment, wrote a word on the paper.

Life!

This life refers to a way out, a way out for himself, and a way out for his children and their mothers.

Qin Changqing had already sensed the hidden dangers of the future, and he must find a way out for his women and children.

A crafty rabbit still has three burrows, but he currently doesn’t even have one.

Originally, he was quite satisfied with his current situation, but now that he thought about it, being content with the status quo would only lead to his own destruction. This is not the stable society of his previous life, but the cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak!

Once the righteous and demonic paths tear their faces and completely start a war, he himself can teleport away at will, but he has so many women and children, and there is not even a place to settle them.

If he were to disappear, these people, like dogs jumping over a wall in desperation, might take the lives of these children and women to threaten him. Faced with the temptation of nurturing spiritual roots, they can do anything, and the Ten Sects of the righteous path are the same!

“It seems that the arrangements I made for Qiling and the others before were still a bit hasty!”

Qin Changqing’s eyes flickered, and he sighed softly.

The situation in the Azure Origin Secret Realm last time had already given Qin Changqing a warning. He could only selectively teleport away some of the children randomly, but this was not safe for the children. Directly letting them go to an unfamiliar place to fend for themselves was somewhat cruel to the children.

As a father, if he can’t give his children a better sense of security and can’t help them, then what’s the use?

Staring at the word “Life” for a long time, Qin Changqing’s fingertips emitted spiritual fire, burning it to ashes.

At night, two figures were entwined to the death, tossing and turning for several hours before calming down.

Guan Zilan hugged Qin Changqing’s neck, drenched in fragrant sweat, with an undying tenderness in her eyes.

This woman had already been completely conquered by Qin Changqing. Usually, due to their identities, it was inconvenient to express it, but once they were alone, she immediately turned into a tender vine.

“Zilan, do you have any maps of this world?”

Qin Changqing’s hands wandered restlessly under the quilt, revealing his purpose.

Guan Zilan’s sandalwood mouth opened slightly, and she asked strangely with a red face: “What do you want this for?”

Qin Changqing smiled and said, “It’s nothing. You also know that I usually like to write some stories, but unfortunately, I am now unable to do what I want and can’t go anywhere, which limits my imagination, so I want to learn more about it.”

“Alas, you’ve suffered…”

Guan Zilan propped up her body halfway, a touch of heartache revealed in her eyes, and then she showed her white lotus-like jade arm. The storage ring flashed slightly, and a jade slip appeared in her hand: “This was exchanged from a down-and-out cultivator when I went out before, but this map is very rough, and many places only have brief annotations. If you need it, I will find a way to get it for you later!”

“Okay!” Qin Changqing smiled and kissed Guan Zilan on the forehead, then turned over and pressed her back on the couch, smiling and saying, “Tell me, how should I reward you?”

Guan Zilan’s eyes swirled, and she said娇嗔: “Aren’t you tired yet…”

“Don’t you know how powerful I am after so many years…”
