111 Preparing (1/2)
Chen Wentian began to immediately plan the rescue operation. There were several aspects that needed preparation. Jasmine wouldn't be under any immediate threat with Qu Shen and He Zicheng eyeing each other. He had some time although it was still a tight schedule.
He first asked Jasmine about the immortals that were previously under Zhuge Kang and where they might have ran to. He wanted to recruit them but Jasmine was skeptical about their loyalty. Would they even bother trying to rescue someone who caused their lord's death? It was a bit risky drawing them into the plan, even tangentially, but having some immortal firepower was still better than not having it. Jasmine conceded in the end and gave him some information about the three other immortals that should be alive.
The second part of the plan was to lure the two tigers out of the mountains. He needed a ploy to get Qu Shen and He Zicheng out of Beast God City for a period of time or the plan could not proceed. By a stroke of luck, Lion faction scouts recently discovered a half-step Spirit Lord comet lynx beast in the wilderness that was close to breaking through. It was an undeniable temptation for He Xinghan who needed feline beasts as cultivation resources. Qu Shen also knew about this out through his spies and was preparing an ambush to capture He Xinghan, perhaps to perform the oath transfer ritual. He Zicheng wasn't a useless father and he was also preparing to trap the ambusher.
The mass surveillance of both factions finally paid off at the key moment and Chen Wentian was very satisfied. The only unfortunate thing was that He Xingping, as the hunting elder, had to head out to assist He Xinghan in the comet lynx hunt. He was a little worried about what would happen if the two Spirit Kings fought for real in the wilderness. Mortal subordinates like He Xingping might not survive the collateral damage if they were unlucky...
The third issue was the three beast lords driving the monster invasion. From Beast God Sanctum historical records, the three included a monkey, a toad, and some sort of a preying mantis. They were all wisdom beasts at the Spirit King Realm and apparently the three had been fighting the three lords of Beast God Sanctum for the last five hundred years. A monster invasion every twenty years was the customary time where they sought to settle scores with each other.
He asked Jasmine what would cause the three beast lords to start the monster invasion five years early but she had no idea. He could only speculate that maybe Zhuge Kang's death was leaked to which caused them to spring into action.

Chen Wentian returned to his manor where Qiu Jingyi met him with a warm hug and a kiss. She looked visibly glowing with happiness. And also pregnancy... but he didn't want to tell her yet.
\”Mmm... welcome home, husband.\” Qiu Jingyi whispered as she buried her head in his warm embrace.
\”Thanks, Little Yi.\”
He took her hand and they went into the sitting room for tea. They had an hour before the servants finished preparing dinner. Although Qiu Jingyi could cook, she was still a noble woman and they had hired help for a reason.
She was the last issue in his rescue plan. The plan was evolving to require a lot of whole sale destruction and disregard for common life. He didn't want her to get caught up in the chaos. He had to convince her to leave the city, which might be troublesome.
They chatted about their day and had some tea. As he was thinking about what to do, he couldn't help but notice her face was a bit flushed and her heart rate rise. Was she thinking of something naughty? His own desires awakened and he scooted closer to her on the couch until he was right on top of her. He then her to the couch and began to trace butterfly kisses from her collarbone and up her neck.
\”Husband... stop...\” Qiu Jingyi whined weakly. \”Ohhh... stop...\”
Chen Wentian smirked and didn't let up his gentle assault. He knew what she wanted. He flipped her onto her stomach and lifted her dress. No panties. He could smell her arousal and her sex was already glistening with arousal.
\”Little Yi...\”
He muttered as he laid on top of her, feeling her squirm in complaint. He managed to free his bestial rod which was already roaring for action.
\”Omodate his girth, it was slightly painful but it also gave her a feral thrill. Chen Wentian gave her no pause as he bucked his hips against her ass, driving his cock deeper and crushing her cervix with a mix of pain and numbing pleasure.
\”Ahh!\”
