Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation-Chapter 190 - 154: Luo Qingyi: Turn the Raw Rice into Cooked Rice...
High above in the boundless, azure sky.
The magnificent Tianzhou Skyboat, its hull enveloped in a thick barrier of light, broke through the clouds and sped into the distance.
On the spacious foredeck, Ling Changqing stood leaning against the railing, a relaxed expression on his face as he admired the magnificent scenery where the sea met the sky.
On the surface of the boundless, ink-blue ocean, islands of various shapes and sizes were scattered like stars. Flocks of seabirds and flying beasts could be seen everywhere.
After spending so much time in the underwater Dragon Palace, Ling Changqing truly missed the sunshine of the outside world.
The Dragon Soul Valley Grotto Heaven Blessed Land was located on an unnamed island deep within the ocean, not too far from the Feiyu Sea Region.
Traveling from the Feiyu Sea Region on a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact Level Flying Ship, the journey would take about two months. However, the place was perennially hidden in mist, making it difficult for outsiders to find.
"...Darling,"
Luo Qingxuan’s voluptuous and slender body hugged him from behind. A warm, fragrant scent washed over him, her breath as sweet as an orchid.
"Shall we go to our room? There’s something I need to talk to you about!"
"Alright."
Ling Changqing nuzzled against her magnificent bosom, then turned and wrapped an arm around her smooth, firm waist as they headed toward the cabin. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Not far away, the lovely and radiant Luo Qingning, dressed in a beautiful sea-blue gown, watched Ling Changqing. She looked as though she wanted to come over and greet him but was hesitating.
After all, Luo Qingxuan had personally put her in her place not long ago, leaving her quite intimidated.
Luo Qingxuan naturally saw her sister as well. Her smile instantly faded, and she shot Luo Qingning a cold glare before leading Ling Changqing away.
"It looks like those other girls came along on the ship. My dear, you..." Ling Changqing began to say. These dragon princesses were relentless, insisting on pestering him endlessly, and it was honestly giving him a headache.
Luo Qingxuan’s beautiful face turned frosty. She snorted and said, "Ignore them. With me here, I’d like to see them try to start anything!"
’Besides, Supreme Elder Luo Cangli is here too. With him present to keep things in order, no hussy or fox spirit will even think about making a move on my darling.’
Ling Changqing nodded and said no more. As long as this didn’t affect his participation in the upcoming trial in Dragon Soul Valley, he didn’t mind.
Thanks to the Array Restrictions, the interior of the Skyboat was incredibly vast, filled with luxurious palaces and courtyards of every conceivable style.
Thanks to his status as the Prince Consort, Ling Changqing was assigned his own elegant courtyard and didn’t have to stay with the other elites and talented cultivators.
Upon entering the inner chamber, Luo Qingxuan held him in a tender embrace for a moment before getting down to business.
"This time, I’ve arranged for four personal bodyguards for you, my darling,"
Luo Qingxuan said softly, "After you enter the Secret Realm, they will obey your every command and ensure your safety."
"I don’t think that’s necessary. I can protect myself."
Ling Changqing mused. ’A larger group makes a bigger target and draws more attention. It would actually make certain things less convenient.’
Luo Qingxuan smiled. "Don’t worry about that. They won’t take any of your fortunate opportunities; their sole focus will be you."
Ling Changqing gave her a quizzical look. "My dear, you’re just worried about me, aren’t you?"
Luo Qingxuan nodded as if it were a matter of course. "Of course I am. With so many fox spirits out there eyeing you, what am I supposed to do if I don’t pay a little more attention and one of them bewitches you?"
Ling Changqing was speechless.
’This Princess was wonderful in every way,’ he thought, ’except... she was a little territorial, wasn’t she?’
"Come in!"
Luo Qingxuan called out past the beaded curtain. Following the sound of soft footsteps, four tall, slender Female Cultivators with bright eyes and pearly teeth entered gracefully.
Their upper bodies were all clad in form-fitting, Jade colored Body Armor that highlighted their stunning, alluring curves. Below, they wore snow-white long skirts through which the contours of their long, straight legs were faintly visible.
Ling Changqing glanced over and found them somewhat familiar. They were all Luo Qingxuan’s trusted Female Officials, each possessing a partial Dragon Race bloodline. Their Cultivation ranged from the Middle stage Foundation Establishment to the Peak of the stage.
"We greet the Prince Consort!"
The four Female Officials, as lovely as peach blossoms with skin whiter than snow, all bowed in unison, presenting a magnificent view of peaks and ranges.
Ling Changqing gave a slight nod. ’In any case, they’re four great beauties,’ he thought. ’It’s always good to have help in a fight. There’s no downside for me in this arrangement.’
Luo Qingxuan briefly introduced the four of them, then subtly gestured for Ling Changqing to go into the bedchamber and wait for her.
After Ling Changqing left, Luo Qingxuan’s expression changed instantly. Her golden eyes fixed on her four trusted Female Officials, her tone becoming unprecedentedly severe.
"Your mission is to protect the Prince Consort, at any cost! Beyond that, you are absolutely forbidden from trying anything else. Don’t even think about it!"
The four women exchanged glances. The one in the lead, a Female Official named Liu Qin, whispered, "Your Highness, rest assured. We understand!"
Luo Qingxuan’s gaze sharpened, and she gave a cold, thin smile. "If I find out that any of you dared to seduce the Prince Consort in there, don’t blame me for chopping off your little hooves!"
Liu Qin hesitated for a moment before asking timidly, "But what if... the Prince Consort has ideas about us? What if he wants us to serve him in bed?"
According to tradition, personal Female Officials were part of the Princess’s dowry, destined to accompany her in marriage.
This meant the Prince Consort was essentially their future husband, a man they were meant to serve for the rest of their lives.
"That’s not allowed either!"
Luo Qingxuan said through gritted teeth. ’I haven’t even had my fill yet,’ she fumed internally, ’so how could it possibly be the turn of these little hussies?’
"Y-Yes, of course!"
The Female Officials agreed in low voices, their expressions full of grievance.
They were the Princess’s personal attendants who had grown up with her; they never imagined she would be so wary of them, as if they were thieves.
