Chapter 278: The choice of two women!
“Heaven-Ranked demonic beast, True Spirit-level demonic beast, Soul-Fusion Reversal Pill, Spirit Eye Spring.”
“This is definitely not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could obtain!”
“Even a Core Formation cultivator couldn’t possibly have such unparalleled good fortune!”
“Moreover, according to what Little Xu said, this person’s growth experience is truly legendary.”
“In the beginning, he was just a family’s live-in son-in-law with inferior spiritual roots!”
“Yet, in just over twenty years, he went from a mortal, a family’s live-in son-in-law, to breaking through to Foundation Establishment and establishing a family clan.”
“If it were just this, it would still be explainable. After all, the world of cultivation is never lacking in small figures who rise up after obtaining opportunities!”
“But this person’s various deeds combined with such unparalleled good fortune are completely beyond what a small figure rising up from obtaining opportunities could explain!”
“Especially the fact that this person is neither haughty nor humble in front of me, his words full of confidence. This kind of bearing is definitely not something an ordinary cultivator possesses.”
Hong Lian looked at the handsome face before her, the tall and slender figure, like a fragrant orchid and jade tree, the graceful Lu Changsheng, and remained silent, pondering in her heart.
Back at the Zheng family in Centipede Ridge, she had briefly observed and understood Lu Changsheng through Xu Ruyin, and had already determined that Lu Changsheng possessed great opportunities and great secrets.
But after seeing the Sumeru Tree King, she deeply suspected that Lu Changsheng was a reincarnation of a great power!
Because Lu Changsheng’s situation could not be explained by mere opportunities and fortuitous encounters.
Now, seeing the fourth-order medicinal pill ‘Soul-Fusion Reversal Pill,’ she was almost certain in her heart that Lu Changsheng was a great power reincarnated for a second cultivation!
Because besides this reason, she really couldn’t think of any other reason!
“This person is definitely a great power reincarnated for a second cultivation. I can even sense a terrifying aura within his body.”
“This aura might be the contingency plan left behind from his previous life, cultivation and magic power sealed within his body, which will be released once he encounters danger.”
Hong Lian thought of the faint, terrifying aura she had sensed from Lu Changsheng’s body.
She herself didn’t know how to describe this aura.
She only felt that it was incomparably profound and incomparably terrifying!
“However, his growth experience, giving birth to over a hundred children in just over twenty years, and even establishing a cultivation family… could it be that he truly possesses the legendary ‘Dragon Emperor Dao Body’ and wants to walk the path of that Zhongzhou Holy King back then!?”
“Legend has it that the Zhongzhou Holy King gave birth to countless descendants, creating a set of secular imperial hierarchy in the world of cultivation, concentrating power in one person and one clan, causing the fate of the world to gather in one person and one family!”
“But I have never heard of anyone who can reincarnate and still decide their own physique? And even this legendary Dao Body!”
“Could it be a Spirit-Seizing Reincarnation? But if it were a Spirit-Seizing Reincarnation, why would he have wasted so much time in his early years?”
Hong Lian murmured in her heart, constantly pondering, wanting to explain Lu Changsheng’s situation.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the Lu Changsheng before her was incomparably mysterious, unfathomable, and full of mist.
“However, if he really has the ‘Dragon Emperor Dao Body’…”
Hong Lian’s heart paused, thinking of the effects of the Dragon Emperor Dao Body.
Knowing that if it was really as she guessed, that Lu Changsheng possessed the legendary Dragon Emperor Dao Body, then following him would probably be equivalent to becoming his concubine, and she would have to bear children for him.
After all, for the legendary ‘Dragon Emperor Dao Body,’ this kind of thing is a matter of course, in line with his great path.
“Perhaps, it is precisely for this reason that he offered me an invitation…”
Hong Lian’s heart paused again, believing that Lu Changsheng was showing such sincerity precisely because of her guess.
“I want to reshape my body, return to my peak, unravel the doubts of the past, and avenge my hatred, but relying on Little Xu is a slim hope.”
“Moreover, Little Xu and I are now in this person’s hands, and we can’t even escape.”
“If I follow him and can live another life, unravel all the mysteries of the past, then what does it matter if I become his concubine.”
As a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Hong Lian was not too concerned about whether Lu Changsheng’s invitation was because he was attracted to her beauty.
Instead, she immediately weighed the gains and losses.
After all, her current situation doesn’t leave her with many choices.
Moreover, following Lu Changsheng is a very good choice.
Because through all these judgments, Lu Changsheng is not an ordinary great power reincarnated for a second cultivation!
At least he is a Transformation God True Venerable!
Perhaps even a realm above Transformation God!
If she follows Lu Changsheng, in the future, she might not only be able to revive, return to her peak, and avenge her hatred, but also hope to advance further!
Moreover, if it is really as she guessed, that Lu Changsheng will establish a family empire like that Zhongzhou Holy King in the future.
If she chooses to follow him now, seizing the opportunity, even if she doesn’t become the Holy Queen, she will at least be ranked among the Heavenly Consorts!
Not only Hong Lian, but Xu Ruyin’s heart was also struggling at this moment.
Although the Illusion Heart Talisman only lasted for a moment just now, it still had a significant impact on her mind.
Knowing that deep down, she was still unwilling to die like this, unwilling to die like this.
Moreover, she is now in Lu Changsheng’s hands, and she might not even be able to beg for death.
If it weren’t for Senior Hong Lian’s sake, the Lu Changsheng before her probably wouldn’t know how to humiliate her.
So she was also struggling, whether to obediently listen, choose to submit, and become a slave.
After all, only by living can there be a future!
Submitting to Lu Changsheng will not only allow her to live, but also allow her to leave this place in the future.
She might even be able to obtain a Heaven-Ranked demonic beast, seek justice for her father, and become the pride of her family!
As for the price, it is only to be humiliated by him and give birth to ten or eight children.
Xu Ruyin naturally found this kind of thing difficult to accept, unable to accept it.
But she clearly knew that this kind of thing was not up to her to choose.
Even if she didn’t accept it, with Lu Changsheng’s methods, if he really wanted to do this, she probably wouldn’t be able to do anything and could only passively accept it.
Since this is the case, it is better to turn passivity into initiative and humiliation into enjoyment.
However, the reasoning is this reasoning. Even if Xu Ruyin comforts herself in this way in her heart, her self-esteem and pride prevent her from doing this kind of thing.
After all, not long ago, she was still the direct daughter of the Yu Shui Xu family, the apple of their eye, possessing great opportunities, and with hope for Nascent Soul in the future!
But at this moment, she has to become a slave, the gap is really too big.
At this moment, a strong sense of regret arose in Xu Ruyin’s heart.
Regretting why she had to do such a thing, to steal spirit beasts at Bihu Mountain.
If she had listened to her grandfather’s arrangements, she would now be safely breaking through to Foundation Establishment at home.
After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, she could go to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range to train.
Or return to the clan.
Now that the ancestor of the Beast Taming Xu family has less than a hundred years of life left, the clan is vigorously cultivating Core Formation seeds!
If she is willing to return to the clan, she can completely stand out and make the road to Core Formation smooth.
But all of these have turned into illusory bubbles because of her pride and stubbornness.
“Senior, take your time to consider.”
“Once you have considered, you can freely let Sumeru notify me.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t slowly wait for Hong Lian to make a choice, nor did he let her make a decision immediately. He put away the Soul-Fusion Reversal Pill and spoke.
Then, he and Ling Zixiao walked towards the Longevity Hall.
“Thank you, Young Master Lu.”
Hong Lian looked at Lu Changsheng and bowed slightly.
Although she had made a decision in her heart to follow Lu Changsheng.
But she still had some things to say to Xu Ruyin.
After all, after so many years of getting along, she was very clear about Xu Ruyin’s character.
Knowing that the other party is stubborn and arrogant, it is impossible to obediently listen and submit to Lu Changsheng.
But she was also unwilling to watch Xu Ruyin being humiliated, or just disappear like this.
“Senior Hong Lian, I’m sorry.”
Xu Ruyin looked at the Senior Hong Lian before her and bit her lip lightly.
“Little girl.”
Hong Lian sighed softly.
Then, her illusory figure dissipated, turning into countless tiny crimson light spots, returning to the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman.
In her current state, she cannot stay outside for a long time and must rely on the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman to maintain her soul form.
Moreover, now in the Sumeru Cave Heaven, it is not good for her to communicate with Xu Ruyin in this state.
After Hong Lian entered the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman, she caused the ancient talisman to return to Xu Ruyin’s sea of consciousness.
“Little girl, what are you going to do?”
Hong Lian’s voice sounded, ethereal and gentle.
“Senior Hong Lian, I… I don’t know.”
Xu Ruyin spoke, her whole person appearing very confused.
Although she was precocious, she had never experienced any major setbacks growing up.
Now that she encountered such a thing, she really didn’t know how to deal with it.
“Girl, tell this palace everything you know about Lu Changsheng.”
Hong Lian said so.
Although she planned to follow Lu Changsheng, she currently had almost no understanding of Lu Changsheng.
Some of the general information she knew was still told by Xu Ruyin before.
“Senior Hong Lian, I don’t know much about him either,” Xu Ruyin said softly.
Then, she told Hong Lian everything she knew about Lu Changsheng, all the relevant things she knew, one by one.
Inside the Longevity Hall.
“With Sumeru here, Zixiao, you can say whatever you want directly.”
Lu Changsheng saw Ling Zixiao’s hesitant look, knowing that she was worried that Hong Lian would hear what she said.
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to ask, what arrangements does Langjun have for that Miss Xu family and Senior Hong Lian?”
“This concubine sees that this Senior Hong Lian should have a lot of affection for Miss Xu. If Langjun wants to subdue this senior, I’m afraid this Miss Xu will be difficult to arrange.”
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Ling Zixiao said with a shallow smile.
She was by the side the whole time just now, so naturally she could see that Lu Changsheng wanted to subdue Hong Lian and Xu Ruyin.
Or rather, mainly subdue Hong Lian.
But if you want to subdue Hong Lian, you can’t let Xu Ruyin go now, which seems not very easy to arrange.
“Hehe, now that people are the fish and I am the knife, the initiative is naturally in our hands.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled and continued, “This Senior Hong Lian is at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch. If we can subdue her, it will be a good thing for us or the family.”
“As for Xu Ruyin, as Zixiao said before, she came to this cave heaven and knows about Sumeru, so it is impossible to let her leave.”
“It just so happens that this cave heaven really needs a maid. If this Xu Ruyin is willing to listen obediently, what I said before can naturally count.”
“If she is unwilling to listen, there is naturally no need to go along with her, and the same goes for that Senior Hong Lian.”
Lu Changsheng said indifferently.
Although his personality is casual, he doesn’t do things that force people.
But he is willing to give a chance for the two to come to Bihu Mountain to steal, which is already considered good.
If the two don’t appreciate it, he won’t be polite.
“In this concubine’s opinion, this Senior Hong Lian is probably already tempted and willing to follow Langjun.”
“It’s just because of that Miss Xu that she is unwilling to make a decision immediately and leave easily.”
“After all, the cultivation world values gratitude and grudges. This senior is in Xu Ruyin’s body and is willing to help her, presumably there is also a cause and effect entanglement.”
“So Langjun, for the sake of Senior Hong Lian, can also treat this Miss Xu a little more favorably.”
Ling Zixiao analyzed.
Although she is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator with limited knowledge.
But she also clearly knows that Lu Changsheng’s various situations, even Golden Core or even Nascent Soul cultivators would be surprised to see.
Especially that ‘Soul Fusion Reversal Pill’, which is helpful for resurrecting others.
In the cultivation world, everyone is fighting to cross the river of cultivation, just to live forever and freely, to live a wonderful and happy life.
For a Nascent Soul True Monarch who only has a divine soul left, I’m afraid there is nothing more tempting than resurrection.
Moreover, as Lu Changsheng said, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Following Lu Changsheng is obviously a hundred times better than Xu Ruyin!
“Gratitude and grudges? Okay, I understand.”
“Next, it depends on Miss Xu’s choice.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and smiled, understanding the truth, and then chatted with Ling Zixiao for a while.
He said that there were still pills in his pill furnace being refined, and after a while, Little Wangshu should wake up, and he had to go over and watch.
“Okay, Langjun go, this concubine will watch here.”
Ling Zixiao heard this and thought that Lu Changsheng really loved Lu Wangshu.
Although Lu Changsheng is not bad to all the children in the family.
But she could see that he obviously favored some individual children more.
This made her think of herself involuntarily.
Having been with Lu Changsheng day and night for so many years, her feelings for Lu Changsheng were no longer the initial exchange of benefits. Lu Changsheng treated her, and she, as Lu Changsheng’s Dao companion, contributed to the construction of the family.
She had already developed feelings for him little by little over time.
Therefore, after seeing that Lu Changsheng sincerely liked children, she also considered whether to have children with Lu Changsheng.
After all, she also regarded Bihu Mountain as her home after so many years of construction, and she had a sense of belonging and wanted a child.
It’s just because of her physical condition that it is not convenient to get pregnant and have children now.
But now, under the treatment of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, she estimates that after another three to five years of recuperation, her body will be almost recovered.
At that time, she can consider having children with Lu Changsheng.
But seeing so many children, she sometimes wonders whether Lu Changsheng will love and favor her children in the future as much as he loves Lu Wangshu.
Although with her, this mother, her future children will definitely not suffer.
But she also hopes that Lu Changsheng, this father, will favor his own children more.
Lu Changsheng walked out of the Longevity Hall.
Xu Ruyin, who was imprisoned in the air, saw Lu Changsheng, and her beautiful eyes showed unspeakable complex emotions.
Then she pursed her lips lightly and called out to Lu Changsheng, “Senior Lu.”
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng heard this, looked at Xu Ruyin, and raised his eyebrows.
Did he think that the other party had figured it out?
The next moment.
“咻!”
An ancient talisman flew out from Xu Ruyin’s eyebrows, and then the ancient talisman was filled with colorful light, and countless crimson dots appeared, turning into the appearance of Hong Lian.
“Senior Hong Lian, have you considered it?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Hong Lian, who had a faint figure and peerless elegance, and showed a smile on his face like a spring breeze.
“Young Master Lu, if you don’t mind, Hong Lian is willing to follow you.”
Hong Lian had a slender body, clear and agile, and came to Lu Changsheng and gave a graceful salute.
Although Lu Changsheng only had a Foundation Establishment cultivation base, since she had made the decision to follow, she would correct her mentality.
After all, Lu Changsheng is the reincarnation of a great power.
If she still has a high-ranking attitude, she might incur displeasure.
“Senior Hong Lian…”
Xu Ruyin saw Hong Lian like this, and bit her lower lip tightly.
In her opinion, Hong Lian did this partly for her sake.
“Senior Hong Lian is too polite. Since senior is willing to follow me, Lu will naturally welcome you very much and be extremely honored.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile on his face, like a gentle gentleman, giving people a spring breeze.
“If Young Master Lu doesn’t mind, you can call me Hong Lian in the future. Senior is really inappropriate.”
Hong Lian continued to speak.
Although she is now several times older than Lu Changsheng, she naturally did not dare to be arrogant in front of Lu Changsheng.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng was surprised in his heart.
He didn’t expect that the great power divine soul, Nascent Soul senior, in front of him would be so easy to talk to?
The attitude is simply too good!
However, since Hong Lian said so, he would naturally not be polite.
After all, calling his future child’s mother ‘senior’ would indeed be weird.
Eh, but it’s also quite interesting.
“Okay, since that’s the case, I will call you Hong Lian from now on.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, and said, “Since Hong Lian, you are willing to follow me, then you can also put forward any conditions or requirements.”
He has always respected others one foot, and he respects others ten feet.
Since Hong Lian is so easy to talk to, he is naturally easy to talk to.
“Thank you, Young Master!”
Hong Lian was a little moved when she heard Lu Changsheng being so direct.
After all, although she chose to follow Lu Changsheng for benefits and conditions.
But she didn’t want to make a request immediately, which seemed too utilitarian.
