Chapter 1072: Grandmaster in Public, Sisters in Private

Inside the golden chamber, Li Xiaoxiao withdrew her Divine Thought from Mo Junlan's body, unable to contain the joy on her face, her eyes filled with wild delight: "She's really pregnant, that kid indeed has something!"

Mo Junlan snorted inwardly.

It's not just 'something'—it's a whole lot of something!

"Since his capability has been confirmed, why not arrange it quickly? What are you looking for me for?"

Li Xiaoxiao picked up the teacup, gently blew on it, and brought it to her lips as she asked.

Xin Mengying stared at Li Xiaoxiao and said solemnly: "Elder Sister, have you ever considered that if you were to unite with Qin Changqing, you might give birth to the legendary Ancient Sacred Body!"

Pfft!

Li Xiaoxiao spat out the spirit tea she had just sipped, coughed twice, and asked with an incredulous expression: "What did you say?"

She doubted if she had heard correctly.

She had maintained her purity all her life, never had a Dao Companion, nor had she ever thought of such matters. What interested her were only Cultivating and fighting.

To her, men were dispensable, and she wasn't particularly interested in them.

Now, Xin Mengying had uttered such words, and right in front of Mo Junlan too, making her feel utterly embarrassed.

"Tell me honestly, was this terrible idea concocted by that scoundrel? Call him over here, and I'll break his legs!"

Li Xiaoxiao slammed the teacup onto the table, shattering it into dust.

Xin Mengying shook her head: "Elder Sister, you've misunderstood. This idea was mine. Of course, Li Sha has no objections either!"

"You!"

Li Xiaoxiao pointed angrily, then abruptly waved her sleeve: "Impossible!"

Xin Mengying frowned: "Since Grandmaster Fu Cai disappeared, even with you here, Elder Sister, our Qi Mi Sect's standing among the first-rate powers has been gradually declining, and our deterrence is far from what it used to be. As the Grandmaster of the Qi Mi Sect, you are the reliance of all Disciples. Some matters require you to lead by example, prioritizing the Sect's interests over personal emotions!"

"Are you lecturing me?"

Li Xiaoxiao's expression turned hostile, golden light flashing in her eyes.

"I wouldn't dare!"

Xin Mengying cupped her hands: "I'm merely stating a fact. Our Qi Mi Sect operates under a Sect system, unlike those Families. Our cohesion has never matched theirs. Now that Grandmaster Fu Cai is gone, finding Genius Disciples has become increasingly difficult. With such a tremendous Opportunity right before us, if you don't cherish it, it'll be too late for regrets once Qin Changqing leaves!"

Li Xiaoxiao's face remained dark.

Xin Mengying, as if oblivious, continued: "If Grandmaster Fu Cai were still here, I believe he would heed my advice. This is the Ancient Sacred Body we're talking about! Born at the World Realm, reaching the Eternal Realm as an ancient titan wouldn't be difficult, and it might even glimpse higher levels. Back then, Grandmaster Fu Cai risked entering unknown realms in pursuit of the Eternal Realm, which is why he vanished. Now, a better Opportunity has emerged, yet you're giving it up. If Grandmaster Fu Cai were here, he likely wouldn't agree!"

These words made Li Xiaoxiao's chest heave violently, her gaze flickering uncertainly.

Seeing her words taking effect, Xin Mengying gently persuaded, continuing to guide: "Elder Sister, your Aptitude is decent, but to speak bluntly, without special Opportunities, you'll likely only reach Grandmaster Fu Cai's former level at best. Breaking into the Eternal Realm is exceedingly difficult. But if you unite with Qin Changqing, the offspring could achieve it effortlessly. Why refuse?"

The Eternal Realm… the Eternal Realm!

Li Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. This Realm was what her Master had tirelessly pursued, and it was also the Realm she yearned for!

Thinking that her child could easily step into such a Realm, Li Xiaoxiao felt a stir of temptation.

A mother honored by her child—she would share in the glory then, and the entire Qi Mi Sect would undoubtedly rise to greater heights with this child's arrival!

And she herself would lose nothing!

Xin Mengying was right. If such a good thing were abandoned, if Grandmaster Fu Cai were here, he'd probably be furious enough to expel her from the Sect!

"Are you sure it can give birth to the Ancient Sacred Body?"

Li Xiaoxiao finally relented, asking somewhat uncomfortably.

Xin Mengying also breathed a sigh of relief. Her elder sister's stubborn and domineering nature would have been hard to persuade if not for invoking the revered Grandmaster Fu Cai she admired.

"Not certain!"

Xin Mengying spoke truthfully: "But based on the current situation, even if it doesn't yield the Ancient Sacred Body, producing a few Grandmist Saint Physiques would still be beneficial. The number of Innate Beings in our Sect isn't high. In half a month, Qin Changqing will be taken by the Corpse Clan. Elder Sister, time waits for no one!"

Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Mo Junlan beside her, hesitating to speak.

Xin Mengying naturally understood her thoughts and smiled: "Elder Sister, we are all Cultivators. You don't need to overcomplicate things. There's no need to dwell on this. Simply put, it's just an exchange of benefits with Qin Changqing. We provide him resources; he provides us offspring. It's a win-win. As long as you don't get infatuated with him, there's nothing to worry about! In the future, you and Junlan can have your own terms—Grandmaster in public, sisters in private. There's nothing wrong with that!"

What the hell with 'Grandmaster in public, sisters in private'—how can you even say that!

Li Xiaoxiao's expression twitched.

Mo Junlan had now come to terms with it. Though reluctant in her heart, she understood that someone like Qin Changqing was beyond her control. As long as Qin Changqing held her in his heart, that was enough!

She then nodded: "Grandmaster, don't overthink it. We're all doing this for the Sect's future. Previously, you asked me to contribute to the Sect. Now it's your turn. Are you unwilling?"

"How dare you!"

Li Xiaoxiao shouted, then suddenly narrowed her eyes, looking at Xin Mengying, a slow smile curling at the corner of her mouth: "Getting me to agree isn't impossible, but you must agree to one condition!"

"What condition?"

Xin Mengying asked: "I am also a Disciple of the Qi Mi Sect. If it's within my power, I won't refuse!"

Li Xiaoxiao's lips curved slightly as she sent a secret message to Xin Mengying, saying something.

Xin Mengying's expression froze abruptly, staring blankly at Li Xiaoxiao. After a long moment, she exclaimed in astonishment: "Elder Sister, I'm your sister-in-law. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it!"

Li Xiaoxiao snorted: "You said it yourself—we're both considering the Sect's interests, for the Sect's future. Besides, we're Cultivators. Certain世俗 things can be completely discarded. Why not?!"

"But…"

Xin Mengying's expression was conflicted, a faint blush rising on her cool face.

"No buts!"

Li Xiaoxiao waved her hand grandly: "If you don't agree, don't expect me to agree either!"
