SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Chat with Li Xinyue
Just then, Liu Meiying spoke.

“Congratulations, Qiangqiang, on reaching the Nascent Soul stage,” she said as she approached him to check the difference.

As for Bai Xueyan, she got off him when the second reward arrived because she did not want to disturb him while he was breaking through.

“Thank you, sister Meiying,” he said.

Then, all the others in the hall congratulated him, to which he responded with a smile.

“Now that this is over, what will we do?” Bai Lingyun asked.

“Well, I think we should just focus on our work and ensure everything is stable. We need to wait until the end of this week before all the clansmen we’ve summoned decide where they want to go,” Xu Qianghua said.

“After that, we will work on upgrading our forces and, simultaneously, help Huang Xinyi completely take over Jingzhong City before branching out and using all the empty land nearby,” he added.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, knowing they needed to settle down and develop stably without making any big moves.

They were the only high-level cultivators in the family, which isn’t conducive to healthy family dynamics.

Additionally, although they knew the city was theirs, the citizens didn’t care about this because, to them, they were just a family that had a member who became the new City Lord.

To solve this, the Xu family would need to bring in new products and facilities to make the citizens accept them, slowly making the citizens dependent on them, which would be when they truly had the city under their control.

Before that, everything was superficial, which is why Xu Qianghua wanted everyone to develop their forces and integrate with the people of Jingzhong City.

After this, the discussion ended, and the group separated as they all went to their forces to speed up their development.

Meanwhile, Xu Qianghua called Li Xinyue, and both of them went toward the main office/study room.

The room was located close to the main bedroom, explicitly designed for the family head.

As they approached, the door stood tall and imposing, made of dark wood with intricate carvings that seemed to pulse with a subtle energy.

These carvings weren’t just decorative; they were formations carefully designed to conceal the room from unwanted eyes and protect it from intruders.

The symbols etched into the wood held ancient power, ensuring that only those with permission could enter or even sense the room’s presence.

Inside, the room was a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The walls were lined with tall, polished bookshelves, each filled with books with everything a family head might need.

Most of the books were empty, as nothing needed the family head’s attention. Still, these books could automatically fill themselves with all the information the family head might need.

The books were bound in leather, their spines gleaming in the soft light that filtered through the large windows. Despite the room’s traditional feel, the organization of the books had a modern touch, making it easy to find what was needed.

In the center of the room was a large wooden desk, solid and well-crafted, with clean lines that gave it a timeless appeal.

The desk was clutter-free, with only a few essential items placed neatly on its surface—a calligraphy brush, an inkstone, and a stack of paper ready for use. The simplicity of the desk allowed for focus, with nothing to distract from the work at hand.

A deep, rich rug covered the floor, adding warmth to the space. Its patterns echoed the carvings on the door.

The chairs, upholstered in soft fabric, were both comfortable and elegant, inviting one to sit and stay for a while.

The room had a quiet dignity, a sense that important decisions were made here and that this was a place where the family’s past and future converged.

The windows allowed natural light to flood the room during the day, while at night, the soft glow of lanterns provided just the right amount of illumination.

The lanterns were crafted in a traditional style but used modern technology to give off a steady, warm light.

This blend of old and new created a calming and inspiring atmosphere, making it the perfect place for reflection and planning.

On one side of the room, there was a small alcove with a low table and cushions for more informal meetings or quiet moments of meditation.

The space was simple, with a few well-placed pieces of art that added to the room’s serene atmosphere.

The walls were adorned with scrolls bearing calligraphy, each a work of art conveying wisdom and strength.

The air in the room felt different, charged with the energy of the formations carved into the door.

These formations provided concealment and enhanced the flow of Spiritual Qi within the room, making it a place where the mind could work at its best.

The atmosphere was focused and clear, perfect for the head of the family to make decisions that would guide their future.

Xu Qianghua and Li Xinyue entered the room, the door closing softly behind them.

“What is wrong, master?” Li Xinyue asked as Xu Qianghua went to the main seat and sat down.

“Yue’er, we have known each other for a long period of time, right?” Xu Qianghua asked.

Li Xinyue was surprised at the nickname for a second as she did not expect herself to be given one so soon, but she wasn’t against it. Instead, she liked it when he called her that.

But after a few seconds, she responded to the question with a nod.

She had a confused look on her face as she didn’t know where he was going with this conversation.

“And I know all about you and how you behave, and since you got this body, I can see your hesitation when I am with the other ladies,” he said.

Hearing this, Li Xinyue quickly figured out where he was going and couldn’t help but blush. She didn’t expect this conversation to happen this soon.
