Chapter 47: Blind Date (Part 2)

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Lu Miaohuan’s coldness dissipated a bit as she nodded slightly to Lu Changsheng.

Just now, Lu Changsheng was observing her, and she was also scrutinizing Lu Changsheng.

Perhaps it was due to their different mindsets upon meeting today, but she felt that Lu Changsheng looked much more handsome than she remembered.

His facial features, when viewed individually, weren’t particularly refined, but put together, they created a harmonious and well-proportioned impression, elevating his overall appearance and making him look very pleasing and comfortable.

Coupled with Lu Changsheng’s gentle gaze and calm, composed demeanor, she felt as if she were bathed in a spring breeze.

As someone who appreciated good looks, Lu Miaohuan, who was initially somewhat repulsed by the idea of marrying Lu Changsheng, felt at this moment that marrying him wasn’t entirely unacceptable.

Although Lu Changsheng’s talent was lacking, possessing only a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

He had an extraordinary talent for Talismans and was so handsome, making him both talented and attractive.

His only drawback, if one had to name one, was his excessive number of wives and concubines.

However, Lu Miaohuan was very confident in herself regarding this point.

It wasn’t just confidence in her status and family background, but also in her beauty and charm.

She had clearly caught Lu Changsheng’s gaze on her just now, and she felt a bit smug.

“I just arrived as well.”

Seeing that her attitude wasn’t as bad as he had imagined, Lu Changsheng felt that this blind date could continue.

He picked up the teapot and proactively poured Lu Miaohuan a cup of tea, saying, “I didn’t expect to meet Young Miss Miaohuan again in this manner.”

“Please allow me to apologize for my rudeness the last time I saw Young Miss Miaohuan.”

Lu Changsheng spoke, raising his teacup as if to toast.

“I didn’t expect you to still remember that.”

Hearing Lu Changsheng mention the previous incident, Lu Miaohuan’s delicate brows slightly arched.

After all, their first meeting hadn’t been very pleasant.

Mainly, Lu Changsheng’s behavior and reputation at the time had left her with a very poor impression.

“Of course I remember. How could I forget Young Miss Miaohuan’s peerless grace? That matter has always lingered in my heart, and every time I recall it, I find it hard to forgive my own rudeness.”

“Now, after nearly two years, I finally meet Young Miss Miaohuan again and can express my apology in person.”

Lu Changsheng’s face was filled with sincerity as he started spouting nonsense.

After all, Butler Lu had said.

This Second Miss is a bit spoiled, but she’s relatively innocent. Just say more nice things and flatter her a bit.

If it was just this, for the mother of a 6th Grade Spiritual Root child, Lu Changsheng was willing.

“I’ve long forgotten about that.”

“I wasn’t in a very good mood at the time, so my tone was a bit harsh.”

As the saying goes, one doesn’t strike a smiling face. Seeing Lu Changsheng’s sincere expression, Lu Miaohuan felt a bit embarrassed.

She lightly lifted her skirt, sat down gracefully, and took a small sip of tea.

With an opening, the two began to chat.

During their conversation, Lu Changsheng felt that Lu Miaohuan’s personality was much better than he had imagined.

Her personality wasn’t at all bad; she just had the demeanor of a Family Young Miss, a bit reserved, requiring others to take the initiative.

Also, she didn’t smile much.

This made her appear to always have a faint coldness on her face.

In reality, she wasn’t truly that cold or unapproachable.

Butler Lu, outside the Abode, used his Heavenly Ear Technique to secretly listen to their conversation, his old face creased with wrinkles like a chrysanthemum.

He thought to himself, it seems Lu Changsheng didn’t take so many wives for nothing; he still has some tricks up his sleeve.

He then stopped eavesdropping and waited patiently outside.

In his opinion, since Lu Miaohuan was willing to continue chatting with Lu Changsheng, the matter was halfway done.

Inside Bamboo Heart Abode.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan sat opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting.

“Indeed, there are many fun and interesting things in the mundane world, but I don’t know much about them.”

“If Young Miss Miaohuan is interested, Lu is willing to accompany Young Miss Miaohuan to take a stroll and see for herself.”

“As for women, how could one find someone like a fairy in the mundane world, like you?”

“Did Young Miss Miaohuan forget my stunned demeanor when I first saw you, as if you were a celestial being?”

Lu Changsheng continued to praise her, but his tone was unhurried, and his eyes were very clear.

In fact, most of the time, his gaze wasn’t even on Lu Miaohuan.

Lu Changsheng wanted to marry Lu Miaohuan and have her bear his children.

However, he wouldn’t act like a fawning sheep, forcing himself into a relationship.

Moreover, in his opinion, for a woman like Lu Miaohuan, being too fawning would be a negative point.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng maintained a very composed attitude.

Over the past four years in the Lu Family, Lu Changsheng felt his greatest improvement was in his mental state and mindset.

Time is beautiful in its inevitable flow: spring flowers, autumn moon, summer sun, winter snow.

If you bloom, the gentle breeze will come naturally. If your heart is calm, a gentle smile will bring peace.

The System, Immortal Appearance Art, Second-Order Talisman Master skills, and Nine Nether Mastiff — these things made Lu Changsheng feel like a blooming flower.

When the gentle breeze blew, bees and butterflies would naturally come and dance around him.

Furthermore, women obtained through lowering one’s stance, social climbing, or fawning would require a higher emotional investment and more time and energy in the future, also affecting the balance of the harem.

Lu Changsheng was destined not to spend most of his time and energy on one woman.

“At that time, I was with my older sister. You were stunned by me, but did you feel nothing when you saw my older sister?”

A hint of happiness appeared on Lu Miaohuan’s cool face as she crossed her long, high-heeled legs, asking Lu Changsheng, her posture quite alluring.

Lu Changsheng slightly rose, picked up the teapot, and refilled the tea.

At the same time, his gaze dropped, looking at her crossed beautiful legs, as if telling Lu Miaohuan why he was stunned by her.

This action did not displease Lu Miaohuan; instead, a hint of secret delight arose in her heart.

Ever since she was a child, her older sister, Lu Miaoge, had always surpassed her, and most of the elders in the Family praised Lu Miaoge.

Her daily attire and grooming would even be commented on.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s frank appreciative gaze made her feel a sense of validation.

“Young Miss Lu Miaoge is naturally like a fairy, stunningly beautiful and transcendent.”

“Before this, I was fortunate enough to meet Young Miss two or three times, but I never felt the same inner stirring as when I met Young Miss Miaohuan.”

“I recalled a line of poetry I once heard: ‘When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they surpass countless encounters in the human world.’ ”

“When I saw Young Miss Miaohuan, I had this very feeling; even if our encounter was just a fleeting glance, it made me feel it surpassed countless beautiful things.”

As Lu Changsheng spoke, a hint of sincerity appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lu Miaohuan.

“When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they surpass countless encounters in the human world.”

“This poem is truly beautiful. Did you hear it in the mundane world?”

Lu Miaohuan’s beautiful eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on her cool face, like a blooming ethereal lotus.

“Hm? This Second Miss actually likes poetry?”

Lu Changsheng felt a bit surprised.

However, he also recalled Butler Lu’s words: this Second Miss isn’t very serious about Cultivation, and she’s only around twenty years old, so liking such things is understandable.

“That’s right, I heard it in the mundane world before. The complete poem is: ‘Delicate clouds weave cunning, flying stars transmit sorrow…’ ”

“But I haven’t read much, and I don’t know what it means. I just felt it was very applicable and matched my state of mind at the time.”

“This poem also has a story. If Young Miss Miaohuan is interested, I’ll tell it.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Alright.”

Lu Miaohuan nodded her delicate chin.

After more than four years, Lu Changsheng, as a Transmigration, finally found a use for the bits of knowledge in his mind.

Just like that, the two chatted for over an hour.

During the process, Lu Miaohuan was very happy, and she developed a greater fondness for Lu Changsheng, internally willing to marry him.

However, with a woman’s reserve and inner pride, she pursed her lips and said, “Lu Changsheng, I had a very enjoyable chat with you today.”

“If you can agree to a few of my conditions, I will agree to marry you.”

“Please state them, Young Miss Miaohuan.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, gentle as jade.

“If I marry you, I must be the main wife, and after you marry me, you cannot take any more wives or concubines. As for having children, you cannot force me, and also…”

Lu Miaohuan suppressed the shyness in her heart, maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor as she listed her conditions one by one.

“GG!”

Hearing these conditions one by one, Lu Changsheng internally typed “GG.”

He immediately knew that this blind date was off.

Actually, Lu Changsheng felt that Lu Miaohuan’s conditions were fine, not overly excessive.

She was just a young girl with spiritual aspirations for love, and she didn’t mention much about material things.

If Lu Changsheng were just an ordinary person, an ordinary Cultivator, only wanting to live a stable life, these conditions would naturally not be a problem.

But with the Multi-Child Blessing System, Lu Changsheng was destined to be a man of great love, and it was impossible for him to abandon a forest for one tree.

Although he could agree first and then deal with it later, Lu Changsheng didn’t want to do that.

He also disdained to do such a thing as deceiving someone’s feelings.

Moreover, he was still under the thumb of the Lu Family, and if he truly agreed, he would have to genuinely fulfill it.

“Young Miss Miaohuan’s intentions, Lu understands.”

“However, Young Miss Miaohuan’s conditions, please allow me to consider them for a moment before giving a reply.”

Lu Changsheng said with an apologetic look.

“You still need to consider?”

Lu Miaohuan was stunned, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

During their recent conversation, Lu Changsheng had appeared to be very fond of her.

Moreover, she believed that since she was willing to marry Lu Changsheng, he should immediately show extreme joy and delight.

But now, Lu Changsheng actually said he needed to consider it?

What did this mean?

Was she begging to marry him?

How could her arrogant self endure such humiliation?

Immediately, Lu Miaohuan’s cool and stunning face turned utterly cold, like a millennium-old iceberg. She stood up directly, her footsteps making clicking sounds as she quickly left the Abode.

Lu Changsheng watched Lu Miaohuan’s graceful retreating figure and shook his head slightly.

Such a beauty, he was temporarily not blessed enough to enjoy.

“Second Miss, what’s wrong?”

Butler Lu, waiting outside the Abode, was surprised to see Lu Miaohuan walk out with a face full of frost and quickly depart.

Hadn’t they been chatting well just a moment ago?

He immediately hurried to follow her.
