The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

With a farewell, the old man named Zhang Lang quickly left on his horse.

Chu Qianqiu stood still, watching him leave, his hand supporting his chin, seemingly lost in thought for a long time.

"Cockroach? This name is a bit outrageous."

He pondered, speechless about this name for a while.

But after coming back to his senses, he realized that none of this mattered.

What he was more concerned about now was what that guy would say next.

When developing in the Rising Sun Empire, did he have to pay taxes to the empire?

However, due to the welfare policy, the empire allowed new members to be exempt from taxes for three years.

Chu Qianqiu was unhappy about this, which gave him an extremely evil idea.

He was thinking, could he expand the development of his family to a level that satisfied him within three years, to the point where he could be independent and not afraid of enemies?

If so, he could directly leave the jurisdiction of the Rising Sun Empire and develop independently with his family.

After all, in the future, the Chu family would definitely become more prosperous, with the number of people increasing several times, or even dozens of times.

And the empire's tax collection was based on the number of people, and the stronger ones would have to pay even more, which would be a threat to his life.

"Damn it, I hate the feeling of working for others. It's impossible for me to work, I will never work in this lifetime."

"Unless in the future, I can gain great benefits in this empire, otherwise it's better to earn enough and run away early."

With this decision in mind, Chu Qianqiu felt more and more awesome.

He even dared to defy the empire. If this idea were known by others, his head would probably be chopped off in minutes.

...

At this time, the Chu family's descendants had already moved into the courtyard and began to clean up in a lively manner.

Following everyone's footsteps, Chu Qianqiu carefully observed and found that the various houses in this courtyard were exquisite and made of high-quality materials, worth the amount of low-grade spirit stones he spent to purchase them.

This courtyard was of a large scale, not much different from his old courtyard in Clear Pond Town, or even better by three points.

Except that the flower-viewing area in the backyard and some open spaces were slightly smaller, there was nothing to pick on in other places.

And not far outside the courtyard was another building he had bought.

Compared to the landmarks in the city center, the scale of this building was almost the same, very luxurious.

Chu Qianqiu even felt that this building was a bit too ostentatious and didn't fit his low-key style.

"This building will be used as a medicine shop in the future. I will send some descendants to manage the shop on weekdays, so that everyone has something to do."

"The remaining people can go to the city to learn other skills, expand their talents, and firmly establish themselves in Moon Phoenix City."

"As for the newborns in the family with cultivation potential, they will be well cultivated at home. During the day, they will have private tutors to learn literacy, practice body tempering at noon, and practice breathing exercises at night."

Thinking in his mind, Chu Qianqiu made his preliminary plan.

He had the whole family move to Moon Phoenix City for the resources here.

Now, he not only wanted to dominate the pharmaceutical industry here, but also wanted the people of the family to learn other skills and do everything.

In this way, the corresponding system would appear and reward him.

Speaking of which, the system had been quiet for quite a while.

Now that the relocation was complete and everything had stabilized, the family should enter a phase of rapid development. He hoped that the day when the system would be awakened again would come soon.

Also, he should consider continuing to have children...

"Speaking of the last time I shared a room with Xue'er, I wonder if she got pregnant."

"If my beloved wife is pregnant again, it's been more than half a month... She should have some signs of pregnancy."

Thinking in his mind, Chu Qianqiu felt a little uneasy.

He had two thoughts now.

The first concern is about Xue'er's health.

Because of the system, I always want Xue'er to prepare for pregnancy. Is this not good?

After all, Xue'er has just given birth to Xiaoyuehan not long ago. If she gets pregnant again in less than two years, wouldn't I be treating her as a baby-making machine?

The second concern is that he has the support of the system, and as long as he makes babies, there will be rewards. It would be a waste not to take advantage of this advantage, right?

If he doesn't use it, what's the point of pretending to be a righteous gentleman? He might as well give the system to someone else.

"Could it be... that I can only do that? Uh."

After a slight cough, Chu Qianqiu's heart raced, knowing that it was time to take that step.

Since he doesn't want Xue'er to be pregnant all the time and be a burden to his beloved wife, he can only find another way and continue to marry and take concubines.

Having one more wife would mean that he could share the workload with one more person, right?

After all, in this world, taking concubines is a normal thing.

The path of cultivation is long and lonely, and the lifespan is beyond that of ordinary people. It is inevitable to feel lonely and isolated.

And this is a place where the strong are respected. As long as you are strong, everything can be yours, including women.

There is no monogamy here, no such thing as restrictions.

As long as there is mutual affection, as long as someone is willing to follow you.

Male cultivators can marry countless wives in this world.

Female cultivators can also find countless husbands in this world.

Of course, it is rare for female cultivators to do such things. They are afraid that their own sects cannot accommodate so many monkeys from Huaguo Mountain.

In most cases, it is a male cultivator who has several women.

As long as the body can handle it, as long as you are handsome, or as long as you are incredibly strong, everything will naturally fall into place.

Once upon a time, their Chu family's Gold Core Ancestor had more than twenty Dao companions, which led to the development of the family as it is now.

The Ancestor was a typical strong cultivator, with many women around him, each competing to bear his children. He embraced them during the day and exerted his dominance at night.

Unfortunately, most of the women around the Ancestor were ordinary people, just more beautiful. The offspring they gave birth to rarely possessed immortal qualities.

It's strange to say that almost all of the Ancestor's offspring were daughters. After these daughters married mortals and formed families, their bloodline further weakened, completely becoming ordinary.

It was also for this reason that the Chu family gradually declined and became a small, insignificant family, hiding in Clear Pond Town.

"So, we must not forget the Ancestor's lesson. We must have more sons... oh no, we must marry and take concubines!"

"If we don't marry, don't take concubines, don't have children, and become eunuchs, how can our Chu family restore its former glory?"

Chu Qianqiu hypnotized himself like this, trying to encourage himself psychologically.

To be honest, if he really married another wife, his parents would definitely support him.

This does not mean that he would fall in love with someone else and stop loving Xue'er.

On the contrary, it would only prove that he has the ability to protect more people, a sign of the prosperity of the family, a symbol of strength.

Yes, this is the value system of this world. It is considered normal for a man to have many Dao companions.

It's just that Chu Qianqiu himself is conflicted. He cannot overcome the obstacle in his heart.

After all, he is not from this world, but from the Blue Star, a place with a monogamous system.

The education he received since childhood was that couples should stay together, grow old together, love each other, and only love one person in their lifetime.

This deeply ingrained concept constantly interferes with him when he has the idea of taking concubines, making him hesitate and feel a sense of guilt towards Xue'er, which oppresses him.

Isn't this a representation of his love for Xue'er?

Because of the depth of love, he feels distressed.

"Ah... so annoying, these old-world doctrines."

"I'll go out for a walk. I'll come back when I've figured it out!"

With a wave of his hand, Chu Qianqiu temporarily put down his affairs and didn't join the busy Chu family members. Instead, he went out alone to clear his mind.
