Banshee Family Training Record

Well, that's good now. There's no reason for them to refuse now.

There's not much else we can do. Let's head to the Qin state next!

Exactly...

His thoughts drifted far away, inevitably wandering to a distant image of a girl who always wore pigtails and a bright red backless dance dress.

Caiyan is currently in the Qin Kingdom, so going there would provide some support.

As he thought this, at that moment, in the distance, Jiang Qingke, who hadn't gone far, stopped in his tracks in the darkness, turned around and looked back, as if he saw Yun Chuan again.

His face was filled with emotion at this moment.

Actually, he hadn't planned to act so hastily. He knew of Yun Chu'an's reputation, but he wasn't sure how much of it was genuine and how much was exaggerated.

Moreover, during the day, several outstanding young men from various vassal states went to test him, but they couldn't even force him to take action himself. One of his attendants resolved all the provocations.

This made Jiang Qingke even more uncertain about Yun Chu'an's true worth. He intended to work with him to destroy the core of Qin's heartland, but first he had to be sure that Yun Chu'an was truly capable of doing so.

His real purpose in coming here tonight was to test the waters, not to simply give the other party such a valuable amount of high-grade spirit stones for free.

But just now, he admitted that he might have acted impulsively, and in a moment of emotional turmoil, he gave everything away.

But he doesn't regret it.

The reason is simple: Yun Chu'an's strength far exceeded his expectations. His realm, willpower, and the spells he had mastered all surprised him greatly.

Combined with what he already knew about the weapon Yun Chu'an possessed, Jiang Qingke even had a bold guess in his mind.

This Yun Chuan might already be able to directly contend with a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage!

Jiang Qingke felt that he was already overestimating Wang Ji's strength, after all, Wang Ji had issued a gag order to save face, and not many people in the Central Plains even knew that the battle had taken place.

Therefore, he hadn't even guessed that Yun Chu'an already possessed the ability to confront a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on, or even...

We can even defeat them!

Even so, he still gave him all the resources he could, because Yun Chuan's performance had far exceeded his previous expectations.

The next hope is that he can achieve the results he desires in the inland rear of Qin.

Yun Chuan, don't let me down.

With this anticipation in mind, Jiang Qingke turned around and ran towards his residence.

He left, but Yun Chuan didn't linger. They discussed other matters, such as what the Zhou emperor needed from the various vassal states and how many spirit stones he was willing to offer.

Unfortunately, these tasks were either massive undertakings like moving mountains and filling seas, which they couldn't handle, or the returns were too low, so it was better to leave them to their subordinates rather than do them personally.

Therefore, the meeting ended hastily, and everyone went to rest and prepare for the next arrangements.

Over the next few days, Sheng Linglong continued her journey to the Great Zhou Royal Palace to meet with the Emperor and discuss important matters with the special envoys of various vassal states.

Yun Chu'an stayed in Luoyi for a few more days. The longer she stayed, the more she felt that the most important things had already been taken care of on the first day. The remaining trivial matters could be left to Sheng Linglong and her delegation. This was what their professional team should do.

Therefore, a few days later, he told Sheng Linglong about it. Sheng Linglong agreed that his time should not be wasted here, and he should carry out more important matters.

Given the current special circumstances in Jin, she didn't try to coax Yun Chuan into staying here with her for a few more days.

So in the end, Yun Chu'an sent a letter to each of his family members, bid them farewell on the morning of the seventh day, and embarked on his journey home, speeding back to Caozhou, his territory.

Upon his return, he eagerly sought out Zhu Yunqing in the palace, took her hand, and sat her down in the seat that had once belonged to the King of Youqiong Kingdom. He inquired about her economic situation during this time and whether the powerful families of Caozhou had taken the opportunity to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, the results of his questioning greatly disappointed him: the powerful families of Caozhou were surprisingly honest and made no move whatsoever, leaving him no chance to both occupy the moral high ground and quickly resolve this economic war.

By not giving them a chance, he could only continue to slowly whittle them down, gradually wearing them down.

Sigh, this long victory settlement time...

However, he didn't want to let things here waste his time. Fortunately, he had a backup plan.

"Oh right, there's one more thing that needs your approval." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentence.)

Just as he sat on the throne of the former Youqiong Kingdom, pondering his plans for his next trip to the Qin Kingdom, Zhu Yunqing suddenly said, "The head of the Zhu family has come to see you many times these past few days. He intends to sell you several of their family's important resource production sites in a package."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "It's come to this point? Ah, then it seems this Zhu family head is a clever man. But how sincere is he?"

Zhu Yunqing's expression was subtle as he shook his head slightly: "Actually, I didn't sense much sincerity. However, he is, after all, the first prominent family in Caozhou City to show us goodwill..."

Yun Chu'an waved his hand: "Then there's no rush, let's play around with him."

After saying that, looking at Zhu Yunqing's expression, he reached out and put his arm around her waist: "Fourth Sister, now is not the time for us to be weak and have to play a game with other families on an equal footing to maintain a fragile balance."

“At least not here.” As he spoke, he reached out and gently hooked her delicate little nose with his finger. “They are the defeated nation, and we are the victors. It is already our mercy that we did not announce the confiscation of their ancestral property on the first day, but won in fair market competition.”

“If you still don’t know what’s good for you,” he said softly, “I’m not a soft-hearted guy. When that happens, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Zhu Yunqing took a deep breath, nodded silently, and tried to adjust his mindset, to treat the aristocratic families of Caozhou with a more iron-fisted approach rather than an equal bargaining mentality.

The principle of "forgive and forget" does not apply to the current situation.

"Alright." Just then, a sudden gust of wind came from outside. Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, then he lowered his head and gently kissed Zhu Yunqing's cheek: "I'll leave things here to my dear fourth sister. I have another more important matter to attend to now."

After saying that, he finally released her and stood up. Zhu Yunqing nodded gently, then looked up outside. Before she could even see who it was, she heard that familiar voice: "Hey, Chu'an, what's the matter that you called me over in such a hurry!"

It was Ye Jinglan's voice.

Prior to this, Yun Chuan sent out a letter, and now Ye Jinglan rode the gale to leave Huai Mountain, traveled thousands of miles, and arrived in Caozhou City.

Yun Chu'an looked up at the outside of the palace, a slight smile playing on her lips: "How about helping you break through to the late Golden Core stage, eldest sister? Do you like it?"

Before he could finish speaking, outside, that dashing figure had already ridden a gust of wind and sped all the way to his side.

Ye Jinglan wore a cheerful smile. She was as energetic as ever, with bright, sparkling eyes that seemed to never tire.

Upon seeing him, an excited smile spread across her face, a smile as bright and radiant as the sun: "That sounds nice, but I've only just broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm a few years ago. What methods do you have to help me break through to the late stage?"

Yun Chu'an went over, put his arm around her soft waist, and said with a smile, "Of course, it's through that..."

Beside them, Zhu Yunqing listened to their flirting, her face gradually flushing. She spat lightly and whispered, "Chu'an, be careful. We're still in the palace. Be careful, the walls may be listening..."

Yun Chu'an turned her face away, her expression full of innocence: "Ah? Is that so? But it doesn't matter if this is overheard, right? After all, what I was referring to was using the high-grade spirit stones I just got in the capital of the Great Zhou to help my eldest sister break through."

Chapter 723 Double flying is actually quite fun...

As he spoke, he put on a smug expression and stared at Zhu Yunqing: "Hey? Why does Fourth Sister think that we have to be careful about things like this being overheard? Could it be that Fourth Sister has misunderstood my words as some other, shameful thing?"

He deliberately teased Zhu Yunqing, making her cheeks blush even more. Finally, she reached out and pinched his waist, almost annoyed, saying, "What's wrong with you!"

Yun Chuan chuckled softly, and Ye Jinglan smiled beside her, unable to suppress her laughter: "Fourth Sister, after all these years, your personality is still the same, you can't stand being teased."

Before Yun Chuan arrived, she had already discovered the honest side of Zhu Yunqing's personality, so she always liked to tease and provoke her, and she would enjoy watching the spider demon's speechless or embarrassed expressions.

Now, seeing her being teased by Yun Chu'an, he was even more overjoyed.

After a while of playful banter, Yun Chu'an finally let Zhu Yunqing go. He then took Ye Jinglan's hand and slowly headed towards the inner palace.

Ye Jinglan also took his hand and couldn't help but say, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. I really only broke through not long ago and still need to consolidate my strength. If I force a breakthrough now, the energy consumption will probably be quite high, and it will most likely be counterproductive..."

She said this, showing that she was neither greedy nor in a hurry.

Yun Chu'an shook his head slightly, turned around, wrapped his arms around her small waist, and said softly, "But I need you. All the places under the family need your strength..." (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Ye Jinglan looked puzzled: "Is something big about to happen?"

Yun Chu'an nodded slightly, and then he told her in detail that he had accepted Jiang Qingke's commission and was about to go to the rear of Qin State to sabotage their arsenal.

Finally, he said, "But now, whether it's Caozhou or the border between Huaishan and Qin, we need powerful people to guard it. Huaishan can be left to my mother-in-law and Senior Consort Rong, but here, I can only rely on you."

Ye Jinglan hesitated, "Is that so..."

Yun Chu'an nodded slightly. He had his reasons for making this arrangement: Huai Mountain was, after all, a border area with complex terrain, which was conducive to hiding all sorts of shady dealings.

So there, You Wensi and Rong Jieyu, two former cultivators of the Corpse-Driving Sect, were able to secretly refine zombies to assist their actions while killing enemies, thus maximizing their advantages.

However, in that case, Ye Jinglan would have no choice but to leave that place and come to Caozhou to take charge of the overall situation here.

Ye Jinglan had no objection to this, but her face flushed slightly as she recalled what had happened, and her tone became somewhat unnatural: "Qi Qiao was right, now, I'm going to live in your harem..."

She was still burying her head in the sand, as if she wasn't Yun Chu'an's partner and hadn't done those things to betray Qi Qiao unless she moved into the harem.

Yun Chu'an chuckled softly and led her into his bedroom. The antique-style bedroom featured a magnificent bed. He lowered his head and gently kissed her cheek: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Ye Jinglan's eyelids drooped slightly, her long eyelashes seemingly shimmering. A blush spread across her fair face, but she didn't resist. She raised her head and gently kissed him.

Yun Chu'an gently kissed her rosy lips, his hands reaching behind her back, preparing to take things further. However, his expression suddenly shifted, and he abruptly turned his head to look at the bed: "Who's there?"

There, from beneath the large quilt, a small head slowly emerged: "Me."

It was none other than Qi Qiao.

Immediately, Yun Chu'an looked surprised: "Qiao'er? What are you doing here...?"

His voice was hesitant, and beside him, Ye Jinglan was like a startled fawn, almost leaping up. Her face was flushed red, and she hid behind Yun Chu'an, turning her face away, her eyes darting around, not daring to look Qi Qiao in the eye.

Her heart pounded wildly. She dared not think about whether her youngest sister had seen her hugging and kissing Yun Chu'an, or even standing on tiptoe and tilting her head back to kiss him!

This is her husband!

The more Ye Jinglan thought about it, the more ashamed she felt.

Qi Qiao smiled and lay in bed, looking at the two of them: "I've been waiting for you, for you, and for my older sister."

As she spoke, her eyes darted back and forth between him and Ye Jinglan. Suddenly, this zombie girl awakened her mischievous side: "Chu An, didn't you want to help Big Sister break through quickly? Come on, perfect timing, I also want to lend her a hand..."

She did it on purpose, of course. When Yun Chuan wrote to her that he needed Ye Jinglan to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm as soon as possible and that he also wanted her to come to the palace, Qi Qiao had already guessed that her husband would definitely want to cultivate with her elder sister.

Therefore, she had this idea and planned to get involved as well, to lend a helping hand to her elder sister's breakthrough.

Of course, it was also because she thought that having a threesome was quite fun.

Ye Jinglan was completely unaware of this, and upon hearing this, she blushed crimson and felt utterly ashamed.

She turned and headed outside, wanting to escape this place that made her scalp tingle: "This matter is not urgent, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

However, Yun Chu'an grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let her go. Seeing her anxious look, Yun Chu'an sighed softly, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "Qiao'er already knows."

These words struck Ye Jinglan like a thunderbolt.

Her face, which had just been flushed with embarrassment, suddenly turned deathly pale. Filled with disbelief, she stiffly turned her head towards Qi Qiao: "Wh...you...I...uh..."

For a moment, she felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

Seeing this, Yun Chu'an sighed softly, opened his arms and embraced her in his arms, while murmuring, "Just a few months ago, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan suddenly came to Huai Mountain and told Qiao'er everything about us."

“From that moment on, she already knew everything…”

On the bed, Qi Qiao, hidden under the covers, nodded gently, indicating that it was indeed true. That seemingly innocent gaze instantly pierced Ye Jinglan's heart like a steel knife, causing her to close her eyes in pain: "Qiao'er, I'm sorry..."

She didn't know what to say; she was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Seeing her pained expression, Qi Qiao knew this wasn't the time for jokes, so she could only say softly, "It's okay, big sister, I'm not really that bothered by it..."

She whispered that she had already forgiven her. Yun Chu'an also put his arm around Ye Jinglan's waist and, almost forcibly, pushed her to the edge of the bed so that the two sisters could talk face to face.

Ye Jinglan turned her head away, as if startled, not daring to look into her sister's eyes. At this moment, Qi Qiao became more proactive and bolder, reaching out to grasp her sister's cold little hand.

"It's alright, big sister," she said softly, gently comforting her. At this moment, this zombie girl didn't seem like a victim who had been cheated on by her sister; on the contrary, Ye Jinglan seemed more like the one who had been wronged and desperately needed comfort.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about what kind of people to choose for Chu’an’s harem for a long time,” she said softly. “But until recently, after the Holy Maiden of Hehuan told me about this, I finally realized that the perfect candidate was right around me.”

As she spoke, she gripped Ye Jinglan's hand tightly: "I don't blame you. On the contrary, if this makes you willing to come home and let us become dear family again, then..."

She slightly raised her head and whispered in Ye Jinglan's ear: "Even if we were to be subjected to a threesome together, sleeping in the same bed, it wouldn't be out of the question, you know~"

She said this in a tone that was almost like coaxing a child.

But what she said made Yun Chu'an blush slightly. He had a feeling that after that night of threesomes with You Wensi and Rong Jieyu, Qi Qiao's personality was undergoing some kind of subtle change.

Chapter 724 Eldest Sister's Breakthrough in Cultivation (A Long Chapter of 5,000 Words)

Although it's not usually noticeable, she is still the good younger sister to her older sisters, and the good "older sister" to Yan Yao and Sui Sui—Zhu Yunqing is the only one in Huai Mountain who makes the two little girls call her "Mom"—in short, she perfectly fulfills all the duties she should perform.

But once in bed, especially like now, when he might be about to have sex with other girls...

This zombie girl would then begin to tease and provoke his heartstrings with some bold and explicit words.

Although these words were not as obscene as the filth he wrote on You Wensi's body, this girl seemed to have a certain talent, always able to seize certain clever opportunities, so even though the words she used were not particularly explicit, they always made Yun Chuan's heart race.

That's exactly the case right now, for example.

And since he was already like this, Ye Jinglan couldn't stand this teasing even more. Hearing Qi Qiao's forgiveness, her slightly pale face gradually regained its color, but upon hearing the words "sleeping together under the same quilt" and "being double-flyed by him," her face quickly turned bright red again.

She felt like she was being teased, that Qi Qiao was deliberately playing a trick on her, just like she used to always tease Zhu Yunqing in this way or that.

Ye Jinglan tried her best to put on a stern face and assert her authority as the older sister, speaking fiercely, "What are you saying, Qiao'er? You can't just say things like that..."

She tried her best to maintain a dignified expression, but because of what had just happened, her cheeks were already flushed with embarrassment. How could she possibly maintain any semblance of dignity as the older sister?
