Cheng Guang felt a little toothache.
"You're already doing very well, you should be able to cultivate to the Heavenly Human Realm quite soon."
Cheng Guang was now comforting Ning Qianxue.
But Ning Qianxue just shook her head, looking a bit uncomfortable, crouched on the ground, and started drawing little circles.
"I'm not really worried about when I can cultivate to the Heavenly Human."
Cheng Guang's eyes widened slightly, thinking, "Isn't this exactly because I've demoralized you?"
"It's not because I ascended to the Heavenly Human?"
Cheng Guang didn't understand.
He just turned his gaze towards Ning Qianxue, to see what she would say next.
Ning Qianxue paused briefly and then continued speaking.
"It's just that my mother-in-law said that women with higher cultivation levels are more likely to be loved."
"I'm afraid if my cultivation isn't as high as yours, you won't love me anymore."
Ning Qianxue said this and sighed.
Despite her young age, she displayed a melancholy and sensitive demeanor.
This caught Cheng Guang off guard.
He couldn't help but laugh.
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I ever not want you?"
"No matter what, I still want you."
Ning Qianxue looked up at Cheng Guang, "Do you really mean that?"
"Then you said it, you can't go back on your word, I remember what you said…"
"Speaking of which, Princely Heir, how did you suddenly cultivate to the Heavenly Human?"
"Also, Qing Luan said that you've only been cultivating for a year, and now you've reached the Heavenly Human Realm, is that true…"
Cheng Guang, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, listened to Ning Qianxue's words.
To some extent.
Cheng Guang did like Ning Qianxue.
After all, Ning Qianxue was extremely beautiful and had a very pleasant personality. It was basically out of male instinct that Cheng Guang couldn't help but like Ning Qianxue.
However, this liking was not yet profound.
Cheng Guang didn't even understand himself.
It seemed that after coming to this world, his feelings for women, even if lustful, were never truly of genuine affection.
Was it all the curse of arranged marriages?
Cheng Guang shook his head, not knowing if it was because of that reason.
Regardless.
Cheng Guang was responsible for the women around him.
Even with arranged marriages, Cheng Guang did not suffer losses and could even be said to be quite fortunate.
After all, outside, both Ning Qianxue and Qin Yanqiu were women countless men could only dream of having.
Both of them being able to marry him, Cheng Guang had indeed gained quite an advantage.
For a rather straightforward guy like him, the benefits certainly outweighed the exploitation.
With these thoughts, Cheng Guang, listening to Ning Qianxue's chatter, took the tea just brewed by Qing Luan and slowly took a sip, leisurely chatting with Ning Qianxue and Qing Luan.
The aura of just having broken through to the Heavenly Human.
Also, during this time, quickly stabilized.
The aura of his cultivation became more solid.
...
Inside the Book Collection Pavilion of Duke Zhen's Mansion.
Elder Yan De had sensed the aura of the Heavenly Human emanating from Cheng Guang's body when it first appeared.
He stood in a gray robe at the top floor of the Book Collection Pavilion, hands behind his back, gazing in the direction of Cheng Guang.
"The Princely Heir has reached the Heavenly Human?"
"So quickly?"
"Has he already awakened? If he has awakened, then that truly exceeds the old master's expectations."
"It seems the old master's plans need to be moved up."
Elder Yan De murmured to himself.
His eyes, far from showing surprise or shock at Cheng Guang's ascension to the Heavenly Human, seemed as if it was all within his expectations.
After murmuring to himself, Elder Yan De couldn't help but slightly lift his gaze, casting his eyes towards the sky.
Looking at the sky.
Miles of cloudlessness, the radiant sun shone brightly.
Elder seemed to see through the scorching sun, glimpsing those stars hidden behind the daylight, invisible to the eye.
"The stars, they are in chaos again."
"It's even more chaotic than before, I initially couldn't see the Princely Heir clearly, and now, I can't even see the stars in the sky; I can't see clearly at all..."
Elder Yan De was somewhat frustrated.
In his aged eyes, occasionally a hint of helplessness and powerlessness was revealed.
...
A dim oil lamp flickered in the night.
Cheng Guang gently laid down the jade arm of Ning Qianxue, which had been resting on him, and tiptoed to the desk.
He spread out a piece of Xuan paper, recalling the system task prompt.
There were two points in the previous system task prompt.
First,
The Empress of Great Zhou held a very important role in the future world,
At least not inferior to the Great Tang Emperor.
After all,
If the Great Tang Emperor could easily deal with Empress Wu Ling of Great Zhou, he would have already controlled and divided the so-called fortunes of heaven and earth.
Yet the Great Tang Emperor had not taken action.
The reason for this was quite simple, as even the Great Tang Emperor himself and Great Tang behind him temporarily couldn't do anything about Wu Ling.
Even if they could,
The power and strength needed to deal with Wu Ling were not affordable for the Great Tang Emperor.
Just thinking about this,
Cheng Guang valued Wu Ling even more.
At present, Wu Ling had not yet fully come into the limelight.
After the battle of Great Yuan's invasion, Wu Ling's position in the court had evidently risen a lot and without any surprises, she would become the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was only because of Empress Wang and some ministers who supported other princes and princesses besides Wu Ling that she temporarily could not ascend to the throne.
Perhaps, it would take at most a month for Wu Ling to take control of the court affairs and ascend the throne to become the Empress.
During this time,
He also needed to establish his own dynasty.
Coincidentally, it would clash with Wu Ling's rise.
Once he established his own dynasty, he would undoubtedly be tearing his face off with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Guang had also considered whether to directly replace Wu Ling and take the Great Zhou Dynasty into his own hands.
This idea only appeared in Cheng Guang's mind for a moment before he discarded it because,
Taking the Great Zhou Dynasty into his own hands was simply unnecessary.
Even if the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was large at this time, once the future era became chaotic, the one who would determine the territory of the dynasty was not the dynasty itself,
But the Celestial Gods and the Western Buddhas.
Those behind the scenes in the world were the decisive existences.
At this time, even if Cheng Guang took the Great Zhou Dynasty into his hands, he would not gain much benefit. Instead, he might be exposed prematurely to the Celestial Gods and Western Buddhas.
If he were discovered by them and they targeted him, that would indeed be a joke.
For now, letting Wu Ling become the Empress of Great Zhou to share some of the burden was beneficial.
Now, although he needed to complete the system task,
He would keep it as vague as possible.
It was best to keep the actions low-key.
Of course, even with small actions, it wouldn't diminish too much.
At least within this small area of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could still stir a bit of trouble and waves.
Once he established his own dynasty, he would definitely separate from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This was not a minor matter.
Especially now, when the Duke of the State, from his own Duke Zhen's Mansion, was still defending the borders for the Great Zhou,
Setting up a small dynasty was something he might not discuss with Cheng Zhihai or even with Wu Ling but had to mention to Cheng Shiyuan.
But currently, Cheng Shiyuan was out of contact, and Cheng Guang had limited means to reach Cheng Shiyuan; he could only wait to ask Cheng Zhihai later.
For now, he could meet someone else.
As Cheng Guang thought this, he had a plan in mind.
Cheng Guang looked up at the window, noting that the time had reached around midnight.
Cheng Guang's body sat in front of the desk, his Primordial Spirit escaped, and a streak of golden light flashed.
Cheng Guang's silhouette as the Primordial Spirit appeared in the dark night sky.
Standing on the eave, amid the night, his eyes bright as lucent gems, he looked around, briefly scanning the environment and direction, then darted towards a distant place.
Cheng Guang headed toward the direction of the location of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
