Chapter 481: What, Lu Changsheng and Yaoyao went out for fun?
The next day, Lu Changsheng took his daughter, Nangong Yaoyao, out to play.
“Nangong Yaoyao, where do you want to go play?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the girl in the purple dress and asked with a smile.
“Nangong Yaoyao doesn’t know either. Mother never let Nangong Yaoyao go far away before, or go out for training. Can Father take Nangong Yaoyao to see the outside world?”
Today, Nangong Yaoyao wore a simple and elegant purple silk dress, with exquisite embroidery on the skirt that resembled butterflies dancing on petals, vivid and lively.
Her cascading black hair was styled into two simple and playful large braids, and her entire being exuded a fresh, refined, and sunny Aura.
“Far away, training.”
Lu Changsheng touched his chin when he heard this, then nodded and said, “Alright!”
As his words fell, he raised his hand, swept up his daughter, and soared into the sky, entering the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer.
“Buzz!”
The Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Divine Light surged, like a layer of gauze wrapping around his daughter, flowing gently.
“Father, is this the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer?”
Nangong Yaoyao’s starry eyes sparkled, her nose was small and delicate, and a sweet, adorable smile always graced her lips. She held her father’s arm, her tender lips slightly parted, as she looked around and spoke with a look of novelty.
“Hmm, has your mother never brought you here?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the girl’s delicate, porcelain-like white face and said with a smile.
“Mother said it was too dangerous.”
The girl pouted her pink lips.
“Your mother isn’t wrong either.”
Lu Changsheng wouldn’t speak ill of Nangong Mili.
A Core Formation cultivator can roam the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer.
But if one brings another person, and encounters enemies or danger along the way, they would have to be distracted, which indeed carries considerable risk.
“But with Father here, it’s not a big problem.”
Lu Changsheng lightly patted his spiritual beast bag, and immediately a golden light filled the air, accompanied by a terrifying Aura.
“Caw!”
The Golden Winged Roc, entirely resplendent as if cast from gold, appeared.
In earlier years, even if Lu Changsheng was a Core Formation cultivator, taking his daughter on a long journey would have been troublesome.
But now with the Golden Winged Roc, going anywhere is countless times more convenient.
“Father!”
Nangong Yaoyao looked at the Golden Winged Roc before her and immediately felt an incredibly terrifying and dangerous Aura. She instinctively clutched Lu Changsheng’s arm tightly.
“Don’t be afraid, this is Father’s spiritual beast.”
Lu Changsheng patted her hand, signaling her not to be afraid.
Then he took Nangong Yaoyao to the back of the Golden Winged Roc.
“This is Father’s spiritual beast!?”
Although Nangong Yaoyao couldn’t discern the Golden Winged Roc’s strength, she knew from its appearance and Aura that this Golden Winged Roc’s strength far surpassed the Tier 3 Centipede of Feng Wu Shi.
She looked at Lu Changsheng, whose appearance was refined and handsome, and her heart was filled with incomparable surprise.
Just what was her father’s background?
Not only did he easily suppress Feng Wu Shi, give her a rare Gu worm like the Fragrant Gu, but he also possessed such an astonishing spiritual beast.
Although the father and daughter had been together for a month, this father in her eyes remained shrouded in mystery, becoming even more mysterious.
“Let’s go, Father will take you to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for training!”
Lu Changsheng announced.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range stretched endlessly, with branches extending into Jin Country.
So he thought of taking his daughter there to broaden her horizons and train, and also to see if there were any Tier 3 Demon Kings he could hunt.
“Whoosh—”
The Golden Winged Roc spread its wings and shot forth like a golden rainbow, tearing through the endless gang winds.
“Wah wah wah—”
Nangong Yaoyao saw this extreme speed, with the gang winds being torn apart by the Golden Winged Roc, and immediately exclaimed excitedly.
If it weren’t for the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Divine Light protecting her, she felt that this gang wind, at this speed, could tear her into pieces.
“Father, so fast!”
Her fair and delicate face was flushed with a faint pink blush, like a jade statue adorned with powder. Her starry eyes constantly looked in all directions, as excited as a bird released from its cage.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng found his daughter’s gaping expression somewhat amusing.
At this speed, she probably couldn’t see anything clearly.
He lightly flicked his finger, and a mirror appeared before them, displaying the chessboard-like scenery below.
“Nangong Yaoyao, if you want to go anywhere, just say so.”
Lu Changsheng said to his daughter.
“Thank you, Father.”
Nangong Yaoyao’s eyebrows curved, and a charming arc formed at the corner of her lips, displaying her innocent and lively nature.
At this moment, she looked at Lu Changsheng’s refined and handsome face and suddenly spoke, “Father, this isn’t your true appearance, is it?”
“Look at my memory.”
Lu Changsheng slapped his forehead, having forgotten that he had been wearing a disguise all this time.
Immediately, a chaotic airflow surged across his face.
His originally refined and handsome middle-aged appearance instantly transformed into a twenty-year-old young man with fair skin, handsome features, deep-set eyes, and an extraordinary temperament.
“Wow wow wow, Father is so handsome!”
The girl looked at her father’s incomparably handsome face, which seemed to glow with immortal radiance, and immediately cupped her small face in her hands, her beautiful eyes sparkling like a little fangirl.
She had always felt that she didn’t resemble her father.
Although her appearance was more like her mother’s, it was impossible not to inherit any of her father’s features, right?
Now seeing her father’s true appearance, she instantly understood.
She also probably understood why her mother would fall for her father.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng found his daughter’s exaggerated reaction somewhat amusing.
However, this kind of reaction truly maximized the emotional value.
He smiled and rubbed her head, saying, “Still, my Nangong Yaoyao is the most beautiful.”
These words were not false.
His daughter’s appearance was indeed impeccable, having completely inherited her mother Nangong Mili’s delicate features and natural beauty.
But compared to Nangong Mili, she wasn’t as charming or seductive; her features were perfectly balanced, giving her an indescribable beauty that was fresh and refined yet held a hint of subtle charm.
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to Father and Mother’s good genes.”
Nangong Yaoyao’s purple silk dress was covered in the clear and radiant Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Divine Light, hazy and beautiful, exuding an extraordinary charm.
“Eh, this seems to be Wuxin Ridge.”
At this moment, she saw a range of mountains below and spoke.
“Want to go see?”
Lu Changsheng wasn’t clear about Wuxin Ridge.
His understanding of Jin Country was limited to the major forces.
“No need, this is a spiritual land under the Five Poison Sect’s jurisdiction. Xiao Chan sister and I have been here before.”
Nangong Yaoyao said, introducing the situation to Lu Changsheng.
Just like that, the father and daughter chatted and laughed on the Golden Winged Roc.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng began to help his daughter refine the Fragrant Gu.
Refining a Heaven Spirit Gu like this was not simple; many ordinary Cultivators, even if they obtained one, would find it difficult to refine.
However, with Lu Changsheng’s help, it was naturally not a problem.
“Buzz!”
Seven days later, Nangong Yaoyao successfully refined the Fragrant Gu.
However, this Gu worm had not been cultivated in Lu Changsheng’s hands and was often left hungry.
So, after Nangong Yaoyao finished refining it, there was no obvious effect. It needed to be cultivated for a period of time before its effects would gradually become apparent.
“Hehehe, thank you, Father!”
Nangong Yaoyao was very happy with this Gu worm, vaguely feeling that the Fragrant Gu was enhancing the effects of her spiritual body.
At this moment, she looked at the endless mountain range ahead and said sweetly, “Father, is this the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?”
“Didn’t you say there are many Yao Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range? Why haven’t I seen a single one?”
It was very far from the Immortal Spider Bazaar to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range; even a Core Formation cultivator would take half a month, but the Golden Winged Roc arrived in just seven days.
Lu Changsheng sometimes didn’t know if this daughter was genuinely foolish or just pretending, and he chuckled, “Yao Beasts are very sensitive to Auras. With the Golden Peng’s Aura permeating, naturally no Yao Beasts dare to appear.”
“Besides, this is only the outer region of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and the number of Yao Beasts isn’t that many.”
The Golden Winged Roc’s Bloodline effect meant that entering the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was like being a king!
Before, when Lu Changsheng entered the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to hunt Demon Kings and seize Spiritual Veins, he still needed to put in some effort.
But now with the Golden Peng, through Bloodline suppression, a Tier 3 Demon King would inexplicably lose three points of its Aura.
“Oh, right.”
The girl suddenly looked enlightened, then giggled adorably, her large eyes constantly gazing at the mountain range before her, filled with endless curiosity and a desire for exploration.
“Father, can you catch a mount for me?”
She suddenly tugged at Lu Changsheng’s sleeve, her eyes full of hope.
“No problem.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and snapped his fingers.
The Golden Winged Roc immediately spread its wings in mid-air and swooped down towards the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, charging straight through and tearing the air apart.
“Tier 3 Demon King!”
“How can a Tier 3 Demon King appear here!”
From far away, the originally roaring and bellowing Yao Beasts were instantly terrified and trembled, unable to move.
And some Cultivators hunting Yao Beasts in the mountains also felt their hands and feet turn cold and dared not move.
Who knows why a Tier 3 Demon King would appear in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
“It seems like there’s someone on top of this Demon King!”
“Hiss, could this be a Core Formation True Person’s Spirit Pet Mount?!”
“To be so ostentatious in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, they are definitely not an ordinary Core Formation True Person!”
A Foundation Establishment demon hunting team looked at the Golden Winged Roc flying into the distance, their eyes filled with shock, envy, respect, and admiration.
“If only I could become a Core Formation True Person in this life.”
Someone said with a face full of emotion and longing.
“Core Formation True Person, you really dare to dream! If I could form a False Core, my ancestral grave would be smoking green.”
“Alas, my wish is much smaller. It would be great if I could earn enough Spirit Stones and settle down in Ming Sha City.”
“Ming Sha City? Your wish isn’t small either. A house in the city costs at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.”
This group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators chatted and sighed for a few moments, then continued to proceed cautiously.
“My Daddy is really strong and domineering.”
Although Nangong Yaoyao had never been to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, she still knew quite a bit about it.
Seeing her father travel so openly and unrestrainedly, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.
During this process, her beautiful eyes scanned her surroundings, looking for any good Yao Beast mounts.
Actually, she didn’t have many thoughts about mounts.
If she truly wanted one, her mother, Nangong Mili, would have prepared it for her long ago.
She simply thought that since she had come to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, she should find something to do.
Moreover, asking her father for help more often could give him a sense of being needed, thereby fostering their father-daughter relationship.
“Golden Peng, restrain your Aura a bit.”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng said to the Golden Winged Roc.
If he allowed the other party to emit Spiritual Pressure like this, no Yao Beast would dare to appear, except for Tier 3 Demon Kings.
Since he was accompanying his daughter on an experience trip to catch Yao Beasts, he naturally could only look for Tier 2 Yao Beasts.
Even if he suppressed a Tier 3 Demon King, his daughter wouldn’t be able to subdue it.
It would even be difficult to subdue a Tier 2 Yao Beast.
“Caw!”
The Golden Winged Roc let out a long cry, its body, which flowed with dazzling luster, dimmed considerably, and the Demonic Qi it emitted dropped from Tier 3 to Tier 2.
As a Tier 3 Demon King, disguising its Aura was naturally not a problem.
However, under this disguise, its strength and speed would be affected to some extent.
As the Golden Winged Roc’s Aura was restrained, some fierce avian Yao Beasts gradually appeared, roaring and snarling at Lu Changsheng, believing that he had invaded their territory.
The Bloodline grades of these Yao Beasts were not bad, and Lu Changsheng also began to capture and hunt Yao Beasts with his daughter.
When he saw a suitable Yao Beast, he would give his daughter a chance to practice, to see how strong she was.
A moment later, Lu Changsheng watched his daughter fight a bear Yao, and thought to himself, “The Five Poison Sect’s methods are not at all good at direct combat.”
Nangong Yaoyao’s methods were also primarily Gu poison, supplemented by charm.
Facing such a Yao Beast, she was even somewhat restrained.
It was not as simple, direct, and decisive as a Sword Cultivator or Talisman Cultivator.
However, since she had the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body, it was impossible for her to Cultivate other Cultivation Techniques, so he could only prepare more methods for her.
“Ah, Daddy, help!”
Nangong Yaoyao, seeing that the bear Yao was not getting poisoned and was constantly approaching her, immediately cried out for help.
“Poof!”
Lu Changsheng flicked his finger, instantly killing the bear Yao.
“Wow, Daddy is amazing!”
The young girl immediately looked at Lu Changsheng with a face full of admiration and eyes full of stars.
“That’s a bit exaggerated.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and flicked her smooth forehead.
“No, I’m clearly speaking from the heart!”
“Hehe.”
Just like that, Lu Changsheng took his daughter to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, hunting Yao Beasts and collecting Heaven And Earth Treasures as if sightseeing.
“Wow, Daddy is amazing!”
“Wuwuwu, this roasted meat is so delicious, how did Daddy make it?!”
“Daddy, another Spiritual Vein!”
During these days, Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Butchering, Spiritual Chef, and Dragon Seeking skills were all displayed, causing Nangong Yaoyao to exclaim throughout, her eyes shining with wonder.
Although his daughter’s expressions and demeanor contained some falsehood.
But he had to admit, having her along truly made things much more enjoyable, and he didn’t feel bored at all.
This day.
Outside the Immortal Spider Bazaar, a noble woman around thirty years old, with an exquisite and enchanting appearance, a breathtaking figure, and wearing a purple gauze dress, descended from high in the sky. Her expression was urgent, and she seemed to have traveled a long distance.
“Greetings, Heavenly Spider Envoy!”
“Greetings, Master!”
The Cultivators guarding the bazaar saw this enchanting and peerless woman and quickly bowed respectfully.
However, Nangong Mili didn’t even look at these people. After opening the bazaar’s Formation, she transformed into a rainbow light and flew in.
Flying was naturally prohibited in such a bazaar.
But for Nangong Mili, she was the rule here.
“Hmm!?”
After she arrived at Immortal Spider Peak, she saw that the communication talisman in her hand had no reaction, and an ominous premonition instantly surged in her heart. She then took out another communication talisman.
A moment later, Meng Xiaochun rushed over, and seeing Nangong Mili, she cried out in surprise, “Master, you’re back?!”
“Xiao Chan, where’s Nangong Yaoyao?”
Nangong Mili nodded slightly and asked.
On her way back, she had a sudden premonition, an ominous feeling.
So after crossing the border, she rushed back with all her might.
But now, seeing that her daughter, Nangong Yaoyao, was not in the bazaar, the ominous premonition grew stronger, and her whole mind became somewhat anxious.
Meng Xiaochun saw her Master’s travel-worn appearance and realized that something was wrong.
Having spent so many years together, she knew that her Master was very concerned about her appearance.
Even when facing a life-and-death crisis, or when disguising herself, she would maintain her appearance and clothing.
But now, her Master had rushed back so hastily, and as soon as she returned, she was anxiously concerned about Nangong Yaoyao’s situation, which was clearly problematic.
She said with some hesitation, “Master, Nangong Yaoyao is fine. She went out to play with Lu… Lu Changsheng a few days ago.”
“What!?”
Nangong Mili’s exquisite and enchanting face immediately changed drastically when she heard this.
She had previously guessed whether this ominous premonition came from Lu Changsheng.
She didn’t expect it to be true.
Lu Changsheng had already arrived at the Immortal Spider Bazaar and had even taken her daughter away!
“When did this scoundrel come, and why would Nangong Yaoyao go out to play with him?”
Nangong Mili immediately said, her hands clenched tightly, and a faint Core Formation-level magical Qi Aura permeated her body, making it difficult for Meng Xiaochun to even breathe.
“Lu Lang arrived almost two months ago.”
Meng Xiaochun quickly replied.
“How is that possible!?”
Nangong Mili was surprised, full of disbelief.
She had parted ways with him at the border. Even if his speed was slightly faster than hers, it shouldn’t be this fast, right?
Unless he didn’t delay at all at the border and rushed at full speed.
But there was a desolate land of absolute spiritual Qi along the way, which was very time-consuming, and he would have to rest.
“Oh right, Master, Lu Lang said that after you returned, you should be given this Jade Slip.”
Meng Xiaochun saw her Master’s appearance and knew that something must have happened between her and Lu Lang.
Perhaps her Master had rushed back so hastily because she was worried about what Lu Lang might do to Nangong Yaoyao.
“Could it be that Master suffered another setback at Lu Lang’s hands?”
Meng Xiaochun thought that her Master’s trip to Jiang Country was very likely to cause trouble for Lu Changsheng.
And since Feng Wu Shi had been suppressed by Lu Lang before, wouldn’t her Master seeking trouble be like an egg hitting a rock?
Nangong Mili took the Jade Slip.
“Mili, your Husband and Nangong Yaoyao are going out to play for a while. Don’t worry.”
In the Jade Slip, there was only a simple message from Lu Changsheng.
The gentle voice, however, in Nangong Mili’s ears, was full of smugness and teasing.
“Lu Changsheng!”
Nangong Mili immediately gnashed her teeth, and the Jade Slip in her hand shattered into dust with a “bang.”
“Master, you don’t have to worry. Lu Lang has no ill intentions towards Nangong Yaoyao. Earlier, Feng Wu Shi…”
Meng Xiaochun saw this and quickly spoke, recounting how Feng Wu Shi had attacked Nangong Yaoyao earlier.
“What? Old Tan actually attacked Nangong Yaoyao!”
Nangong Mili’s narrow, Phoenix-like beautiful eyes immediately filled with cold killing intent when she heard this.
However, knowing that Lu Changsheng had suppressed Feng Wu Shi, and that he had taken his daughter out to play to avoid trouble, her worries lessened a bit.
But thinking that Lu Changsheng was with her daughter, her heart was still in turmoil, uneasy.
“Xiao Chan, what has Lu Changsheng been doing in the bazaar these days?”
She asked Meng Xiaochun with a frosty face.
