Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 484: Nangong Mili: This bastard only has his daughter in his eyes!
“I’m not entirely clear on this matter either.”
“I only know that in his early years, he killed the son of True Person Ghost Demon, which is why he was hunted by True Person Ghost Demon.”
Meng Xiaochán shook her head and said softly.
She knew about this because Nángōng Yāoyao wanted the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, which is why she paid attention.
“Then about a year ago, news suddenly spread that this person, while being hunted by True Person Ghost Demon’s disciple ‘Téng Lì’ and a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, not only successfully escaped but also killed Téng Lì, who was at Foundation Establishment Layer Nine, causing quite a stir.”
“True Person Ghost Demon was furious and offered several Core Formation spiritual items and a ‘Blood Ghost Condensing Fiend Pill’ as rewards for him.”
Meng Xiaochán continued.
Lu Chángshēng looked surprised.
He hadn’t expected his son to cause such a commotion in the State of Jin.
Not only had he been hunted by a Core Formation True Person for many years, but he had also been pursued by over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators at his peak!
At this moment, he roughly understood what was happening with his son’s lifespan.
He estimated that over the years, he was either fighting for his life or on the run.
Living such a life, how could his lifespan not be shortened?
However, his son’s achievements also greatly surprised him.
Being hunted by a Foundation Establishment Layer Nine cultivator leading over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, he not only successfully escaped but also killed one of them.
Although he didn’t know the strength of these people.
But this ‘Téng Lì’, as a disciple of a Core Formation True Person, must have had extraordinary strength and wasn’t some incompetent Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Lu-lang, this person is…”
Meng Xiaochán looked at the worry in Lu Chángshēng’s eyes and asked softly.
“He is my son.”
Lu Chángshēng exhaled a long breath and said in a deep voice.
“As expected.”
Meng Xiaochán felt somewhat fortunate that she hadn’t continued pursuing him at the time, she pursed her lips slightly, feeling a bit flustered and uneasy: “In my early years, I didn’t know his relationship with Lu-lang, so half a year ago, when he appeared near the Immortal Spider Market, I also made a move against him…”
“It’s alright, Xiaochán, do you know where he is now?”
Lu Chángshēng did not blame her.
If Meng Xiaochán had known that Lu Quánzhēn was his son, she definitely wouldn’t have attacked and might even have offered protection.
So, he couldn’t possibly blame her for this.
He just wanted to know where Lu Quánzhēn was and what his situation was.
The fact that the other party’s cultivation was rapidly breaking through while his lifespan was continuously decreasing indicated that his current situation was problematic.
He might have obtained some kind of opportunity, but he might also have encountered danger!
“I don’t know that either, I will send people to investigate right away.”
Meng Xiaochán immediately said.
“Okay, Xiaochán, I’m troubling you. If there is any news, tell me immediately.”
Lu Chángshēng nodded.
Seeing Meng Xiaochán walk out, he was still a bit uneasy. He took out a Blood Attracting Talisman and smeared his blood and Qu Zhēnzhēn’s blood on it.
But this Blood Attracting Talisman could only sense Nángōng Yāoyao’s location and could not sense other bloodlines, indicating that Lu Quánzhēn was either thousands of miles away or in some Cave Heaven or Secret Realm.
At the same time, in another great hall.
Nángōng Yāoyao, with a naive and innocent look, linked arms with her mother, asking about her trip to the State of Jiang.
However, when she mentioned her father, Nángōng Mílí’s face immediately turned cold, saying, “In the future, interact less with this person!”
“Why? I think Daddy is quite good…”
Nángōng Yāoyao became increasingly curious about her parents’ relationship and tried to speak well of her old father.
And she took out the Heavenly Fragrance Gu that Lu Chángshēng had given her, saying, “Mom, look, this is also a gift Daddy gave me…”
“You can just tell me what you want, Mom.”
Nángōng Mílí saw that her daughter had only known Lu Chángshēng for two months and was already speaking up for this scoundrel, and a hint of sourness and jealousy welled up in her heart.
However, when she saw the crystal clear, fragrant pink silkworm in her daughter’s hand, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, noticing something wasn’t right.
“This is…”
She held the ‘Heavenly Fragrance Gu’ in her hand and examined it carefully.
At the same time, the Gu worm in her body awakened, emitting a strange stirring aura.
“Heavenly Spirit Gu!?”
Nángōng Mílí’s stunning and enchanting face was full of surprise.
Although she was a Core Formation True Person, she still didn’t have a Heavenly Spirit Gu in her possession.
On the one hand, Heavenly Spirit Gu are precious and rare, very difficult to obtain.
On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to find a Heavenly Spirit Gu that is compatible with oneself.
If a Gu worm is not suitable for oneself, even if it is a Heavenly Spirit Gu, cultivating it will ultimately be a waste of time and effort.
She saw that this pink Gu worm exuded a strong fragrance that made people feel refreshed and happy, and instantly realized that this Gu worm was somewhat compatible with her daughter.
“This is what that scoundrel… your father gave you?”
She looked at Nángōng Yāoyao with a look of surprise and doubt.
One must know that Heavenly Spirit Gu are incredibly rare.
Not only did this scoundrel get a Heavenly Spirit Gu, but it was also compatible with her daughter’s physique, clearly showing that he had put in great effort, indicating that he truly cared about this daughter.
But the next moment, she thought about how he treated her with all sorts of disdain when they were together, giving her no gifts, yet being so attentive to their daughter…
“Hmph, this scoundrel’s eyes are indeed only on his own children!”
Nángōng Mílí thought about how Lu Chángshēng treated her with all sorts of disdain in the early years, but after knowing she was pregnant, his attitude immediately changed drastically, becoming full of tenderness and affection, and a wave of sourness and melancholy washed over her heart.
“Yes, Daddy said this Gu worm is called ‘Heavenly Fragrance Gu’, and its effect is similar to my Pure Heavenly Fragrance Body…”
Nángōng Yāoyao’s eyebrows curved into crescents, and with a sweet and adorable look, she introduced the effect of this Heavenly Fragrance Gu to her mother.
On the one hand, it was to speak well of her old father.
On the other hand, it was to ask her mother to identify the situation of this Gu worm.
“When the Heavenly Fragrance Gu reaches Four Revolutions, it needs divine fragrance and the incense of people’s faith to cultivate it… Could this be Heaven’s will?”
Nángōng Mílí murmured to herself upon hearing this.
Through her daughter’s words, she realized that this Gu worm was simply a perfect match for her daughter.
As long as this Heavenly Fragrance Gu was refined into her Natal Gu worm and properly cultivated, her daughter’s Pure Heavenly Fragrance Body effect would be able to reach an unprecedented level in the future.
Moreover, the effect of this Heavenly Fragrance Gu… is very similar to the inheritance of the Immortal Lotus Sect.
“Mom, what Heaven’s will?”
Nángōng Yāoyao heard her mother’s words, blinked her large eyes, a little confused.
“Mom came to find you because there is something I want to tell you.”
Nángōng Mílí took a deep breath and said seriously.
“Five days ago, the envoy of the Immortal Lotus Sect, True Lord White Lotus, came to the Five Poisons Sect.”
“This trip was partly for sect affairs, and partly to select a few people to go to the Immortal Lotus Sect to enhance the relationship between the two sects.”
Nángōng Mílí told her daughter about the Immortal Lotus Sect.
“Immortal Lotus Sect? Hmm, why does this name sound familiar?”
Nángōng Yāoyao heard this, tilted her head, and felt it sounded familiar.
The next moment, her star-like eyes lit up, her pink lips slightly parted, and she asked, “Mom, is it the Immortal Lotus Sect that is said to have the Immortal Lotus descend to save all beings?”
“That’s right.”
Nángōng Mílí nodded, her expression somewhat solemn as she said, “The mortal world is like a prison, all sentient beings suffer, reincarnation is endless, worries never cease, pity my worldly people, the Immortal Lotus descends from heaven, escaping the sea of suffering, enjoying eternal bliss, Saint Mother of the Lotus, True Empty Home…”
“The Immortal Lotus Sect is one of the top forces in the Southern Wilderness, with a Great True Lord in charge. During the war between the righteous and demonic factions, countless cultivators from both sides were guided into the True Empty Home by the Immortal Lotus Sect.”
“Yāoyao, you have the Pure Heavenly Fragrance Body, which is very compatible with the Immortal Lotus Sect’s inheritance. If you can join the Immortal Lotus Sect and obtain the sect’s core cultivation technique, the ‘Wonderful Lotus Method for Saving the World Sutra’, you will very likely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.”
Nángōng Mílí stroked her daughter’s dark hair, her beautiful phoenix eyes showing a hint of longing.
Although she was the Heavenly Spider Envoy of the Five Poisons Sect.
She didn’t have much confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
If her daughter could join the Immortal Lotus Sect, her future prospects would be far better than in the Five Poisons Sect, and she would very likely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!
If she was capable enough to become the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus Sect and receive strong cultivation from the sect, then reaching the Nascent Soul stage would be a certainty, and she might even have a chance to become a Great True Lord in the future!
Cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage are also called Great True Lords by the world!
Cultivation kingdoms like Jin, Jiang, and Yue have never had a Great True Lord in thousands of years, all stopping at the early Nascent Soul stage.
“Immortal Lotus Sect…”
Nángōng Yāoyao’s star-like eyes sparkled, feeling a bit tempted.
As one of the top forces in the Southern Wilderness, it would naturally be a great fortune for her to be able to join it.
But if she joined the Immortal Lotus Sect, she would have to be separated from her mother.
“Old Ghost Tan made a move against you before because of this matter, wanting to prevent you from participating in this selection and remove a strong rival for his grandson.”
Nángōng Mílí’s beautiful eyes shone with a cold light as she continued.
After knowing about the Immortal Lotus Sect’s arrival, she guessed why the Feng Wu Envoy would make a move against her daughter.
Others might not know about her daughter’s physique, but the Feng Wu Envoy, as one of the Core Formation True Persons of the Five Poisons Sect, had long known that Nángōng Yāoyao possessed some kind of spiritual body, a魅體 (Charming Body).
This physique is very compatible with the Immortal Lotus Sect’s inheritance.
If his grandson competed with Nángōng Yāoyao, he would very likely not be her match.
So he wanted to make a move against Nángōng Yāoyao to remove a strong rival for his grandson.
“Mom, this matter hasn’t been decided yet. If joining the Immortal Lotus Sect only means becoming an ordinary disciple, then it’s not worth going.”
Nángōng Yāoyao was not sentimental and said with a playful smile.
If there was a real opportunity and the conditions were good, she would naturally choose to join the Immortal Lotus Sect.
But if she were just an ordinary disciple, it would be meaningless.
“With my Yaoyao’s talent, how could she be an ordinary disciple?”
Nangong Mili’s beautiful phoenix eyes flowed with maternal affection, and she dotingly pinched her daughter’s fair cheek.
Most parents regard their children as their pride.
Nangong Mili was no exception.
And Nangong Yaoyao was indeed Nangong Mili’s pride. She placed high hopes on her, believing that her daughter had a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
“Hehe.”
The girl in the purple dress giggled in the beautiful woman’s arms, then continued, “Mother, you still haven’t told me what’s going on with Father. Is there some conflict?”
“Hmph, don’t mention that man!”
When Nangong Mili heard her daughter mention Lu Changsheng, her heart ached and she felt displeased.
After all, the daughter she had raised for so many years was speaking up for this scoundrel after only two months, making her feel like her little cotton coat had a hole in it.
Moreover, she could say before that she could satisfy whatever her daughter wanted.
As a result, this scoundrel was clearly prepared. After a barrage of sugar-coated words, she was completely no match for him.
“Mother doesn’t like it, so Yaoyao won’t mention it. Don’t be angry.”
Seeing her mother’s appearance, Nangong Yaoyao immediately hugged her and spoke in a spoiled tone.
When Nangong Mili saw her daughter’s appearance, her heart immediately softened, and she felt that it wasn’t a bad thing for her daughter to interact with Lu Changsheng.
Although she cursed that scoundrel all day long, after spending so much time together, she also knew Lu Changsheng’s character.
This person was very tolerant and accommodating towards his own people.
Even though she opposed him and cursed him every day, he didn’t do anything except make her suffer, and he even warmed her Golden Core for her.
As for how he treated his children, there was nothing to say.
If her daughter spent more time with this father, it would also be a good thing.
But when she thought of her precious daughter talking and laughing with Lu Changsheng, she felt very unhappy and worried that her daughter would be abducted by this scoundrel someday.
However, thinking of the matter of the Immortal Lotus Sect, Nangong Mili stroked her daughter’s head and said softly, “Go and say goodbye to him, and then come back to the sect with me.”
“Okay, okay.”
Nangong Yaoyao didn’t mention her father again and obediently agreed.
“Daddy~”
When Nangong Yaoyao saw Lu Changsheng, who was wearing a dark robe and had a tall and slender figure, outside the main hall, she immediately ran forward and called out sweetly.
“Yaoyao.”
When Lu Changsheng saw his precious daughter, he immediately turned around and called out with a smile.
Then he looked at Nangong Mili in the main hall, who was wearing a luxurious purple dress, was tall and slender, had her arms crossed, and had a proud, cold, and noble expression.
He thought to himself that this woman hadn’t told her daughter too much about the matters between the two of them.
Otherwise, if the other party really wanted her daughter to dislike him, she only needed to add fuel to the fire, and there would always be a gap between the father and daughter.
However, after spending so much time together, he also knew that Nangong Mili was an extremely arrogant woman who doted on her daughter very much and wouldn’t do such a thing.
Moreover, the other party belonged to the type who admired strength and was tsundere.
Under his conquest and heating, her cold heart had also melted a little, but due to her personality, she still maintained her facade.
“Daddy, did you do something to upset Mother? Why does Mother get angry whenever I mention you?”
Nangong Yaoyao said with a sweet smile, as if joking.
She had spent time with Lu Changsheng before and knew that her father had a gentle personality, and when they talked about her mother, he was very calm and natural.
“Uh…”
Lu Changsheng glanced at Nangong Mili not far away, smiled, and rubbed his daughter’s little head, saying gently, “Your mother and I have some small conflicts, but don’t worry, Daddy will resolve them.”
Naturally, he didn’t want the matters between him and Nangong Mili to affect his daughter and have a negative impact on her.
“Ah, Daddy, you really did something to upset Mother.”
Nangong Yaoyao’s rosy lips parted slightly, and she looked at her father with some surprise.
Then she wrinkled her delicate and exquisite nose and pouted, saying, “Hmph, who told you to be Daddy? Tell me, what is it? I’ll go and persuade Mother later.”
As she finished speaking, she lowered her voice, slightly stood on tiptoe, and leaned closer to Lu Changsheng, looking incredibly cute.
“Adult matters, don’t worry about them, little one.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled and lightly flicked her fair forehead.
“Hmph, bad Daddy, I’m trying to help out of kindness, and you even hit me. I’m not talking to you anymore.”
The girl puffed up her delicate little face, which was as tender as a budding flower, and her voice carried a hint of coquettish grievance.
“Okay, okay, Daddy was wrong.”
Even though Lu Changsheng knew his daughter was acting, seeing her charmingly wronged appearance made his heart soften.
As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
And Nangong Yaoyao’s personality naturally made her lovable.
“Yaoyao!”
Nangong Mili, who was not far away, saw her daughter talking and laughing with Lu Changsheng and even speaking in a spoiled tone, and immediately called out in displeasure.
Her daughter used to only act spoiled towards her, but now she was acting spoiled towards this scoundrel, making her feel as if her beloved possession had been snatched away.
“Daddy, Mother and I are going back to the sect for a while, so I can’t accompany you during this time.”
Nangong Yaoyao immediately stuck out her pink tongue and said with a cute expression.
“Is something going on?”
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
He and Nangong Yaoyao had just returned, and the other party was going back to the Five Poisons Sect with Nangong Mili, which was obviously a bit of a coincidence.
“Mother said that an envoy from the Immortal Lotus Sect is coming and she needs to go over.”
Nangong Yaoyao said.
“Immortal Lotus Sect!?”
Lu Changsheng’s expression slightly froze when he heard this name.
He had heard Ling Zixiao mention this name.
A thousand years ago, seven top demonic sects formed an alliance, launched a war, and swept across more than half of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World.
And among these seven demonic sects, there was the Immortal Lotus Sect.
Logically speaking, the Immortal Lotus Sect was very far from Jin Country, separated by several cultivation countries. How could they come to the Five Poisons Sect?
“Let’s go, Yaoyao.”
Nangong Mili’s expression was indifferent, and she stepped forward, calling for her daughter to leave.
“Goodbye, Daddy.”
Nangong Yaoyao seemed afraid that her mother would get angry, so she only secretly transmitted her voice, and then waved her fair and tender hand.
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng smiled in response, planning to ask Meng Xiaochang later about the Immortal Lotus Sect’s visit to the Five Poisons Sect.
A moment later, Meng Xiaochang returned and told Lu Changsheng that she had already sent people to investigate Lu Quanzhen’s whereabouts.
Not only through the channels of the Five Poisons Sect, but she also sent people to other markets to purchase information about Lu Quanzhen.
“Xiaochang, you’ve worked hard.”
Lu Changsheng held her fair jade hand and thanked her.
Then he continued to ask, “Xiaochang, do you know what the Immortal Lotus Sect is doing here at the Five Poisons Sect?”
“The Immortal Lotus Sect is here at the Five Poisons Sect!?”
Meng Xiaochang was stunned and didn’t know about this matter.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t ask any further questions.
He planned to ask Nangong Mili or his daughter Nangong Yaoyao later.
Three days later.
Lu Changsheng felt a dense surge of magic power appear out of thin air.
Through the system, he saw that his son, Lu Quanzhen, had broken through to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.
This speed was no longer astonishing, it was absolutely terrifying!
Looking at the system panel, where his son’s lifespan had decreased by another thirteen years, he realized that the other party’s situation was definitely problematic, a big problem!
At this time, Meng Xiaochang told Lu Changsheng a piece of news.
Lu Quanzhen appeared in a black market in Black Demon Mountain three months ago, then his identity was exposed, and he was attacked.
Furthermore, there were rumors that True Lord Ghost Demon had come out of seclusion and personally went to hunt down Lu Quanzhen.
“True Lord Ghost Demon personally took action?”
Lu Changsheng’s expression slightly froze, and he realized that his son’s current situation was very dangerous.
The other party’s desperate increase in cultivation might be related to True Lord Ghost Demon.
“Is there any information about True Lord Ghost Demon’s whereabouts?”
Lu Changsheng immediately asked.
If Lu Quanzhen continued to break through like this, there would definitely be a big problem!
“I have already sent people to investigate True Lord Ghost Demon’s whereabouts, but it will take some time.”
Meng Xiaochang bit her lip lightly, sensing Lu Changsheng’s worry.
“Where is the largest intelligence organization in Jin Country? I’ll go there directly.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said directly.
Given his son’s situation, he no longer had the patience to wait here for information to come and go.
“Lu Lang can go to Ancient Nether Immortal City and buy relevant intelligence information from the Shadow Tower. They were established by the Shadow Sect and mainly engage in assassinations and intelligence gathering. Their information is very well-informed.”
Meng Xiaochang immediately said, introducing the situation of this immortal city to Lu Changsheng.
The main reason was that Lu Quanzhen had appeared in Black Demon Mountain before, indicating that he might be near this area.
“Okay, I’ll go there now. If you have any news, immediately crush the jade talisman I gave you, and I will rush back as soon as possible!”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said in a deep voice.
Then he quickly left the Immortal Spider Market, released the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng, and looked at the map, rushing to Ancient Nether Immortal City at the fastest speed.
