Chapter 62: daily

In the courtyard, a group of children were playing.

“Daddy!”

A little girl, dressed in a red cotton-padded jacket and fur, sitting on a swing and eating candied hawthorn, saw Lu Changsheng and called out sweetly.

Then she jumped off the swing, her short legs scampering to Lu Changsheng, and handed him the candied hawthorn, smiling, “Daddy, it’s so sweet.”

Lu Changsheng’s face unconsciously filled with smiles as he tasted a candied hawthorn.

It was indeed very sweet, sweet to the core.

Glancing at his sons, Lu Ping’an, who were frolicking with the Nine Nether Mastiff again, Lu Changsheng snorted in annoyance and picked up his daughter.

He held her slightly cool little hand and said gently, “Come on, it’s cold outside, let’s go play inside.”

As expected, his daughter was the most considerate.

Lu Changsheng carried his daughter, Lu Xile, into the main hall.

On both sides of the hall were several braziers with burning charcoal, dispelling the cold, and a group of wives and concubines were happily chatting together.

However, there were always a few toddlers who had just learned to walk, wandering around.

Not only did they look like they were about to fall at any moment, but they also liked to pick up anything and put it in their mouths, requiring constant supervision.

“Da da da!”

At this moment, Little Seven, Lu Xianzhi, riding a mechanical wooden horse, came to Lu Changsheng and told him to move aside.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng stood his ground and refused to move.

Then Lu Xianzhi used the mechanical wooden horse to bump into Lu Changsheng.

As a result, he and the mechanical wooden horse overturned, falling to the ground, and his little mouth puckered, about to cry.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile at this, and immediately used the Lesser Art of Controlling Object to control the mechanical wooden horse, making it move “da da da” around his son.

Lu Xianzhi, who was about to cry, stopped crying when he saw this scene.

He climbed back onto the mechanical wooden horse and, under Lu Changsheng’s control, began to run, playing happily.

Although this child had a Spiritual Root, there was no sign of early intelligence or sensibility; he was just like a normal child.

“Daddy, hug!”

Little Ten, who was playing nearby, saw Lu Changsheng and toddled over with her short legs, opening her chubby hands and saying.

Lu Changsheng held Lu Xile with one arm and picked up Little Ten with the other.

Seeing the white jade bun in her hand, he said, “Let Daddy have a bite.”

Little Ten thought for a moment and held up the bun in her hand to him.

“Daddy will show you how to eat a big bun in one bite!”

Lu Changsheng said, and with one bite, he ate the entire white jade bun in Little Ten’s hand, which was as big as an adult’s fist.

Lu Xile, Little Ten, and the other toddlers in his arms watched with wide eyes.

But the next moment, Little Ten looked down at her empty hand.

Huh? Where’s my bun?

Looking at Lu Changsheng’s chewing mouth, her wronged little mouth puckered, looking like she was about to cry.

It was as if she was saying, you ate such a big bun, you didn’t even leave me a bit.

“Husband, why do you always like to tease the children?”

Lu Miaoyun walked over with a pregnant belly, chiding.

Every time Lu Changsheng came, he would make the children cry and then coax them, which in her opinion was truly idleness.

As she spoke, she took a white jade bun from a nearby steamer and handed it to Little Ten, revealing a motherly smile and saying, “Come, Yu’er, be good, don’t cry.”

“Children, aren’t they just for teasing and playing with?”

Lu Changsheng said indifferently, also taking a white jade bun to eat.

This bun tasted very good; it was made from white jade spiritual wheat ground into flour.

Now that he had the means, in addition to daily meals, Lu Changsheng would also buy many spiritual ingredients and spiritual foods to keep at home, allowing Xiao Qing to make some desserts for his wives, concubines, and children.

Eating like this every day and living on Qingzhu Mountain made the bodies of his wives, concubines, and little ones better and better, and they were very healthy.

Setting aside everything else, children raised in this way would definitely be martial Dao prodigies if they practiced martial arts later.

“Husband, your aura, have you had a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Middle Stage!?”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Changsheng, her face showing some surprise as she spoke.

Living with Lu Changsheng for a long time, she naturally noticed the change in Lu Changsheng’s spiritual power aura; it was much thicker than usual.

“That’s right, after grinding for so long, I finally broke through this hurdle.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded.

“Congratulations, Husband, on your Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Middle Stage~”

Lu Miaoyun’s face showed a smile, and she hugged Lu Changsheng’s arm, shaking it, her bright eyes showing admiration as she said.

“Congratulations, Husband!”

“Congratulations, Husband, on your Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Middle Stage!”

“Congratulations, Husband, on advancing further in the Immortal Dao!”

A group of wives and concubines all congratulated Lu Changsheng.

“Wow! Daddy is amazing!”

“Congratulations, Daddy!”

“Congratulations, Daddy!”

Seeing their mothers like this, several children also gathered around Lu Changsheng, jumping and shouting.

Lu Changsheng burst into laughter.

Then, with a smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, “It’s just a Lianqi Fourth Layer.”

I have to say, this feeling of being liked, admired, and looked up to by his wives, concubines, and children was very good.

It greatly satisfied his male chauvinistic psychology.

Every time, a sense of pride, happiness, and satisfaction would arise in his heart.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng teased the children while chatting with his wives and concubines.

This was his daily relaxation during his leisure time.

Otherwise, staying at home every day, with nothing but Cultivating and making babies, and no other entertainment, would be boring. It might be fine for a short time, but it would indeed be grueling over a long period.

The next day, Lu Changsheng rubbed his lower back.

Yesterday, his wives and concubines, to celebrate his Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Middle Stage, shyly and timidly fulfilled some of his requests for service.

This made him barely stop or rest all night.

“The body is the capital of revolution,” Lu Changsheng sighed softly.

Then he went out and came to the Fourth Elder’s residence.

Today was not the end of the month, the day the Fourth Elder taught Talismans and Cultivation.

Instead, the Fourth Elder had told him before to inform her once he had a Breakthrough to the Lianqi Fourth Layer.

Although he didn’t know what it was about, since his grandmother had instructed him, Lu Changsheng naturally came over.

After all, there was nothing to hide about such things.

“Son-in-law, the Old Madam is making Talismans; you might have to wait a moment.”

The Fourth Elder’s butler saw Lu Changsheng arrive and respectfully offered him tea.

“Grandma Zizhu, I’m not in a hurry, you go attend to your duties.”

Lu Changsheng took the tea and said to the butler.

Approximately half an hour passed.

The Fourth Elder came to the main hall.

She was dressed differently today than usual, wearing a lotus crown on her head and a blue-brown flowing cloud Daoist robe, like a female Daoist.

She looked less elegant and noble, and more ethereal and refined.

Lu Changsheng knew that although his grandmother was a First-Order Top-Grade Talisman Master, her success rate in drawing First-Order Top-Grade Talismans was not high.

Normally, if she wanted to draw Top-Grade Talismans, she would choose a auspicious day and time.

Then she would perform rituals such as cleansing her body, face, and hands to adjust her state and improve the success rate of Talismans.

This female Daoist attire was also part of her Talismans ritual.

Lu Changsheng stood up and bowed, “Grandma.”

“Changsheng, why have you come to see Grandma?”

The Fourth Elder looked at Lu Changsheng, a kind smile on her face.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun had been married for over half a year.

In the past six months, she had seen all of Lu Changsheng’s performance.

His diligence, lack of arrogance, and outstanding talent in Talismans.

This made her increasingly satisfied with this grandson-in-law.

She believed that her decision to marry Lu Miaoyun to Lu Changsheng was absolutely correct.

She even stopped caring much about Lu Changsheng having a multitude of wives and concubines.

Because she also discovered that Lu Changsheng was not as she had known him to be, indulging in women all day long.

In the past six months, he not only hadn’t neglected his Talismans, but his performance had also improved.
