Chapter 800: Xiao Xiyue: There really is something going on between you and Master!
Not long after, Xiao Xiyue and Lu Wangshu arrived at the Lu Family Mansion.
“Changshneg.”
When Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng, her heart melted like ice and snow, and she had many things to tell him.
But because it involved her Senior Sister and Master, and they were in public, she temporarily held back, softly calling out, like the pure and holy Fairy Chang’e.
Seeing her mother like this, Lu Wangshu’s chin lifted slightly, and she looked at her Father with a touch of arrogance, then indifferently called out “Father.”
“Xiyue, Wangshu.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind, he stepped forward with a deep and natural expression, took Xiao Xiyue’s hand, and gently caressed his daughter’s beautiful hair.
“Father, you’ve messed up my hair again!” Lu Wangshu said coquettishly, preparing to ignore her Father for a while.
“Sister!”
Lu Linghe and Lu Wangshu were very close, always calling her “Sister.” Upon seeing her, Lu Linghe immediately went up to her affectionately, sharing her gains and experiences from these past few days.
Lu Wangshu ignored her Father and went to talk with Lu Linghe and Lu Baixi, then looked at the Golden Winged Roc with some surprise, wondering if this was another younger brother.
At this moment, Lu Miaohuan entered the main hall with her daughter, Lu Qingqi.
“Husband.”
When Lu Miaohuan saw Lu Changsheng, her longing and grievances surged out like a tide.
She wanted to know why he had been away for so long.
In these years, not only had her sister Lu Miaoge gone to the Yue Country front, but she had also heard a war report from Yue Country that her son Lu Qingshan had been ambushed by a Core Formation Great Cultivator and severely injured.
Facing all of this, she could do nothing, not even leave Bihu Mountain, and she felt very wronged in her heart.
Looking at his wronged and longing wife, Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly and stepped forward to comfort her.
Hearing her words, Lu Changsheng immediately said, “Miaohuan, don’t worry, Miaoge and Qingshan, Xiao Zhu’er won’t be in too much danger.”
After returning to Great Dream Immortal City and learning about the situation at Lu, he had divined the fortunes of his wife and children in the Liang Yue War.
Although the heavenly secrets were chaotic and hazy due to the war, as a Fourth-Order Diviner, he still calculated that his wife and children would not face great danger.
However, in such a war, danger was unavoidable, so he planned to make a trip to Yue Country after he finished his current tasks.
Seeing Xia Zhiyue, Lu Ping’an, and others arrive one after another, Lu Changsheng greeted each of them with concern.
“You must be Shou Zheng, right?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on catching up with his wife, planning to express his longing later. He looked at the young man beside Lu Ping’an and spoke.
The young man was about ten years old, dressed in a blue and white narrow-sleeved combat suit. He was very handsome, with a high nose bridge and eyes like cold stars, inheriting the looks of Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi. A three-inch wooden sword hung at his waist, its hilt wrapped with an ice-blue sword tassel.
“Are you my Father?”
The young man raised his head, his cold star-like eyes looking at the handsome and ethereal young man in a loose green robe. His voice was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
“Hmm!?”
As soon as the young man spoke, everyone in the hall looked at him.
Even Lu Ping’an was a little surprised, not expecting Lu Shouzheng to speak like that, and immediately wanted to speak up for him.
However, Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said with a smile, “That’s right, I am your Father, the Master of Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng.”
The young man nodded and said, “My mother told me.”
Then he cupped his hands and bowed, saying, “This child, Lu Shouzheng, greets Father.”
However, he was neither humble nor arrogant, his expression calm and devoid of respect, as if facing a stranger.
Lu Changsheng looked at the handsome, young boy before him and sighed softly in his heart.
He had long been mentally prepared for such a situation.
He hadn’t known when Chu Qingyi became pregnant.
He wasn’t present when Chu Qingyi gave birth, and only learned about it through the System notification.
He had been absent throughout this child’s early years, and it had been nine years before their first meeting as Father and son.
In such circumstances, where would Father-son affection come from?
Especially since this child had been raised by Chu Qingyi from a young age, and four years ago, Chu Qingyi went to the Yue Country front, leading to the separation of mother and son, and the child was fostered at Bihu Mountain.
“You like swords very much?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the wooden sword at his waist and asked softly.
“My mother gave this to me. She practices the sword, so I naturally practice the sword.”
The young man said calmly.
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a little unpleasant. He said, “You haven’t cultivated any Sword Arts?”
He could tell that the young man was only cultivating a neutral Cultivation Technique.
“My mother did not pass down any Sword Arts to me.”
The young man said so.
Although Chu Qingyi possessed the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, she had not passed it on.
Although Lu Ping’an had asked him about this and wanted to pass on the Five Elements Stellar Annihilation Sword Classic, he chose to refuse, planning to wait for his mother to return before deciding. For now, he would Cultivate a neutral Cultivation Technique, which would make it easier to switch to other methods in the future.
“Your mother Cultivates the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture. If she didn’t pass it on to you, it means she wants me to teach you. In that case, I will teach you this Sword Art in a few days.”
Lu Changsheng wasn’t sure if this child was suitable for Sword Arts or other Cultivation Techniques.
But since the other party wanted to learn swords, he would satisfy him.
“Thank you, Father. If there’s nothing else, this child will take his leave.”
Lu Shouzheng cupped his hands in thanks, but his expression remained calm.
Then he bowed to everyone in the hall and prepared to return to his residence.
“Father, Shou Zheng’s personality is quite independent. I’ll go keep an eye on him.”
Seeing this, Lu Ping’an immediately said to his Father, going to watch over Lu Shouzheng.
“Perhaps it’s because you and Martial Aunt aren’t around, so Shou Zheng usually doesn’t like to interact with people. He’s either reading or cultivating…”
Lu Wangshu, who was nearby, saw this scene and also said to her Father.
After learning that Lu Shouzheng was the son of her Father and Martial Aunt Chu Qingyi, she was greatly shocked.
She had never expected that her Father would have a child with her mother’s Senior Sister, Immortal Master Qingyi.
With her mother’s instructions, she had previously thought about caring more for Lu Shouzheng.
But the other party was very self-sufficient and independent. After requesting a spiritual beast, he spent every day in the school, dining hall, library, and his residence.
During this period, when they greeted Lu Shouzheng, he would always bow respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, but he never wanted to integrate with them, living his own life.
“This is Father’s failure to fulfill his duty.”
Lu Changsheng said softly, always knowing that he couldn’t take care of every one of his children responsibly.
It was precisely for this reason that he tried his best to improve the Family’s welfare benefits, as compensation for his children.
“How are your preparations for Core Formation coming along?”
He saw that his daughter’s cultivation had already reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and she could attempt to Break through to Core Formation at any time.
But as he looked, he noticed something amiss. He said, “Where is your xuan yuan pearl?”
Years ago, he had given his daughter a rare treasure, the xuan yuan pearl, which acted like a Cultivator’s second Dantian, with the effect of storing and amplifying spiritual power.
But he could tell from the spiritual power in his daughter’s body that the xuan yuan pearl was likely no longer there.
“I’ve almost finished my preparations. I plan to attempt Core Formation in another year. As for the xuan yuan pearl, I don’t need it right now, so I gave it to Qingxuan.”
Lu Wangshu said so.
Having possessed the xuan yuan pearl for many years, she clearly understood the function of this rare treasure.
So when Lu Qingxuan and others went to the front lines of the war, she lent this rare treasure to them for use.
Of course, the two agreed that after Lu Qingxuan returned from the front, he would give her thirty percent of his gains.
“Good, Father also has something for you later.”
Lu Changsheng saw his daughter’s expression and knew that she was somewhat worried and saddened about Lu Qingxuan and the others going to the front lines.
If he were at Lu, he would have considered helping Lu Qingxuan Break through to Core Formation first, rather than letting him go to such a battlefield.
Thinking of his son Lu Qingxuan, his heart paused slightly. He pinched his fingers to divine, vaguely sensing that he would face a trial of fortune and misfortune.
If he passed through it, he could advance further. If he didn’t, there was a risk of falling.
Not just Lu Qingxuan.
The same was true for his daughter Lu Ruyi, his son Lu Chensha, and others.
The battlefield changes rapidly; there is no absolute danger, nor absolute safety or good fortune.
Due to the matter of his son Lu Shouzheng, and thinking of Lu Miaoge, Chu Qingyi, Lu Qingxuan, and others on the front lines, Lu Changsheng’s mood became heavy for a time. He simply chatted with his wives about daily life, recounting his experiences while away.
Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and others were very anxious to hear about Lu Changsheng’s experiences in Star Constellation Sea, where he contended with various Nascent Soul Cultivators and fell into the Sealed Demon Ground.
They never expected that their husband had endured so many hardships while away these past years.
They worried about bringing danger back home, even fearing to return home.
“Husband, you’ve worked hard these past years.”
Lu Miaoyun held Lu Changsheng’s hand, her eyes red as she spoke.
As Lu Changsheng’s wife from his early years, she knew that her husband always reported good news and kept his worries to himself, shouldering everything alone.
Having been away for so many years on this trip, the dangers were imaginable.
Especially since her husband had not yet Broken through to Nascent Soul, yet he contended with Nascent Soul Cultivators.
She remembered that during the Wilderness War, when Lu Changsheng fought with the Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse, his face was pale and weak afterward.
Not only Lu Miaoyun, but also Xiao Xiyue, Lu Wangshu, and others nearby were deeply moved, knowing that there must have been a reason why their husband and Father had been away for so many years.
During this process, Lu Changsheng also learned more about the Lu Family’s situation from Lu Miaoyun.
For example, his daughter-in-law Qin Yi attempted Core Formation on Biyun Peak last year and only reported back to Heaven Sword Sect half a year ago.
Also, in these years, facing pressure from Qingyun Sect and Heaven Sword Sect, the Lu Family had made some strategic adjustments.
For instance, the pace of Foundation Establishment Breakthroughs within the Family slowed down, and the requirements for attempting Foundation Establishment were raised.
“Since Yanjing has already reached the Foundation Establishment Ninth Level, and her Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art is almost complete, then give her this Ningjing Pill.”
Years ago, when Lu Changsheng went to Star Constellation Sea, he gave all five Ningjing Pills in his possession to Honglian.
One of them was for his son Lu Lingxiao, and one was given to his daughter Lu Wangshu as a Mystic Realm of Submerged Abyss reward.
Of the remaining three, one was given to Bai Ling for her Breakthrough, and one was given to Lu Miaoyun to manage.
However, as Ningjing Pills were precious, Lu Miaoyun still favored the Lu Family Bloodline.
For example, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Xingchen, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyu, and Lu Xuangan, Lu XuanChong, these Lu Family disciples who had the potential for Core Formation.
Although Wang Yanjing had the potential for Core Formation, she was still a bit reluctant, so she hadn’t given it out, planning to observe for a while longer.
However, Lu Changsheng was indifferent to this.
He had three jade marrow gold ganoderma in his possession, and he could start Alchemy at any time.
Moreover, while in Star Constellation Sea, he had acquired a Ningjing Pill from an auction, so he was not short of Ningjing Pills at the moment.
Since his daughter-in-law had the potential for Core Formation and had given birth to a talented grandson like Lu Xuangan for his Lu Family, he naturally wouldn’t be stingy.
Xia Zhiyue was startled when Lu Changsheng handed her such a Ningjing Pill, feeling surprised and bewildered. Then she cupped her hands and bowed, saying, “I thank you, Husband, on behalf of Xingchen and Yanjing.”
Although she had been promoted from concubine to wife by Lu Changsheng.
Her status and position were still much lower than Lu Miaoyun and others.
“Ningjing Pills are precious, Husband, why don’t you personally give it to Yanjing?”
Xia Zhiyue said so, somewhat hesitant to accept such a rare Medicinal Pill.
“That works too. I’ll go see them later.”
Lu Changsheng nodded gently.
Since he had returned, he naturally wanted to check on the situation of his children at Lu.
After chatting for a long time, he walked with his wives through Bihu Mountain, inspecting the Family and visiting his children one by one.
“Greetings, Father!”
“Greetings, Grandfather!”
“Greetings, Mountain Master, greetings, Immortal Master!”
The Lu Family disciples and Cultivators on Bihu Mountain all bowed upon seeing Lu Changsheng, unaware that he had been away for many years.
Firstly, for a Core Formation True Person, being in seclusion for over ten years was quite normal.
And besides being the Master of Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng was also the Deputy City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, so it was very possible that he resided in Great Dream Immortal City for extended periods.
Secondly, Lu Miaoyun would use the Thousand-Faced Fox Puppet to transform into Lu Changsheng’s appearance and show up at Bihu Mountain, deceiving outsiders and stabilizing the Family’s situation.
“Father.”
Lu Xingchen, hearing that his Father had arrived, immediately came with his wife Wang Yanjing to pay respects.
Seeing that his son Lu Xingchen’s cultivation was still at Foundation Establishment Eighth Level, he couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “You should focus your mind and energy primarily on cultivation from now on.”
His son Lu Xingchen’s talent was not bad, with a Third-Grade Spiritual Root. This level of cultivation could only mean that too much time had been wasted on Alchemy or other miscellaneous matters.
“Yanjing, I heard from Zhiyue that you are preparing for Core Formation?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Wang Yanjing beside him and asked, noticing that her cultivation had long since reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment.
“Reporting to Father, my cultivation is at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Level, so Elder Brother passed the Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art to Yanjing. However, Yanjing currently has no plans for Core Formation.”
Wang Yanjing said respectfully.
Although her Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art had Broken through to the third layer, she had no absolute confidence in Core Formation.
Now that her Family was happy and complete, she was unwilling to attempt Core Formation.
After all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator attempting Core Formation was no joke.
Once a Breakthrough fails, at best, one’s Dao Foundation will be shattered, rendering them a cripple; at worst, one will die and their Dao will vanish.
“What layer of the Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art have you Cultivated to?”
Lu Changsheng asked softly.
“Three years ago, I just Broke through the third layer.” Wang Yanjing bowed and said, not knowing why Lu Changsheng asked this.
“Keep this Ningjing Pill. Once your Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art reaches Major Achievement at the third layer, you can attempt to Break through to Core Formation.”
Lu Changsheng said, believing that as long as she didn’t aim for a Supreme Golden Core, she actually had a very good chance of a Breakthrough.
However, after so many years, Wang Yanjing had gradually lost her ambition.
“Ningjing Pill!?”
Wang Yanjing stared at the Medicinal Pill in front of her, completely stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
She looked at the Ningjing Pill, then at Lu Changsheng, and then at her husband, completely unable to believe it.
After all, the Ningjing Pill was precious, and even though her talent was good, it shouldn’t fall into her hands, right?
What the hell was this?
Even though she knew that Lu Family had many secrets and unknown foundations, she was still shocked by this Ningjing Pill.
Not only her, but Lu Xingchen, who was beside them, was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Father to be willing to bestow a Ningjing Pill upon his wife.
“Father, this, this, this… this is too precious. It would be better to give it to Xingchen, or Xuanchan.”
Wang Yanjing said with a slight stutter.
Her son, Lu XuanChong, possessed the Five Elements Body, and his Cultivation progressed rapidly, already at Basement Establishment Ninth Level, with the potential to surpass his Father, Lu Xingchen.
With the various secret techniques and resources of Lu Family, she believed that her son would definitely be able to become a Core Formation True Person in the future and reclaim Five Elements Mountain.
“Haha, keep it. Xingchen and Xuanchan will also need someone to protect their Dao in the future. After you Break through to Core Formation, just help me diligently supervise their Cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng already knew that Lu Xingchen listened to his daughter-in-law in Lu, and said with a light laugh.
After speaking, he waved his hand, not allowing her to refuse again: “If you need anything else, just tell Xingchen or Xia Zhiyue.”
Although his son, Lu Xingchen, was a second-order top-tier Alchemist, it would still take a long time for him to advance to a third-order Alchemist.
Moreover, the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation, whether Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or Talismans, all consumed a great deal of wealth.
But there was a shortcut for all of these.
As long as Lu Xingchen Broke through to Core Formation, his entire life would undergo a qualitative leap, and at that time, whether it was Cultivating spells, Alchemy, or Talismans, everything would improve by a level.
At that time, advancing to a third-order Alchemist would also be effortless.
After walking around Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng did not forget his eldest son, Lu Ping’an.
Seeing that his Body Refining had not improved much, and his Cultivation was at Core Formation second layer, Lu Changsheng asked him what he had been doing all these years.
“You care so much about the Family, why haven’t I seen you have a son or daughter?”
Lu Changsheng said somewhat speechlessly.
His son and Qin Yi had been married for eighteen years, yet there was still no sign of a child.
When he married into Qingzhu Mountain, he had over a hundred children in eighteen years.
However, upon hearing that he had comprehended the True Spirit Nine Transformations over the years, Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and said, “Go find Golden Peng later and get a bottle of his essence blood, then begin Cultivating.”
The True Spirit Nine Transformations requires the aid of True Spirit essence blood to Cultivate.
Currently, he possessed the Bloodlines of four great True Spirits: Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, Tihun Beast, Golden Winged Roc, and Xumi Tree King.
The Xumi Tree King, being a tree demon plant, was certainly not considered for Cultivation for now.
The remaining Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, Tihun Beast, and Golden Winged Roc were all excellent.
Considering that Lu Ping’an had balanced offense and defense but average speed, he could first Cultivate the Sky Peng Transformation to compensate for the lack of speed.
“Golden Peng?” Lu Ping’an knew that his Father had a Golden Peng Bird by his side, but he never expected that it possessed the legendary True Spirit Bloodline.
“Yes, you should have seen Quanzhen. Later, you can transmit the True Spirit Nine Transformations to him.”
Lu Changsheng continued to speak to his son.
The True Spirit Nine Transformations is a dual Cultivation Technique. Once mastered, one can not only Master the art of True Spirit transformation, transform into a True Spirit form, and Master some of its innate Divine Ability, but also receive a baptism of rebirth, a metamorphosis.
His son, Lu Quanzhen, had not only Broke through to Core Formation, but his Physical Body was even comparable to Lu Ping’an’s, naturally meeting the requirements for Cultivating this Cultivation Technique.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Ping’an had seen Lu Quanzhen in the hall earlier, but hadn’t looked closely, and nodded in response.
“How is Shou Zheng?”
Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Ping’an had been looking after Lu Shouzheng for most of these years.
Lu Ping’an hesitated for a moment, then said, “Father, Lu Shouzheng’s personality is probably quite strong, but his nature isn’t bad. It’s just that you and Immortal Master Qingyi weren’t around, which is why he’s like this.”
He had gone from Qingzhu Mountain to Ruyi County City in his early years, and later returned to Qingzhu Mountain, so he had some understanding of such matters.
Especially now that Tianfu Lu Family was growing larger and larger, Immortal seedlings from the secular world were often sent to Bihu Mountain.
These Lu Family disciples, when they first arrived at Bihu Mountain as children, all needed time to integrate.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded gently, and after thinking for a moment, still decided to meet this child.
Immediately, his Divine Sense extended, and he came to a side hall alone, seeing Lu Shouzheng who was flipping through books.
Seeing him approach, Lu Shouzheng put down the book, stood up, and cupped his hands in a bow, saying, “Greetings, Father.”
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded gently, not thinking of reforming his son after just a few meetings.
The Father and son were like two strangers, asking and answering, very polite.
After a long while, Lu Changsheng directly transmitted the first volume of the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture to him, wanting to see his Comprehension Ability.
Under normal circumstances, someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root would not have poor Comprehension Ability.
However, after Lu Shouzheng received the Cultivation Technique, he did not immediately Cultivate it. He strictly adhered to his daily schedule: when to read, when to eat, when to Cultivate, not willing to disrupt it in the slightest.
Even Lu Changsheng, seeing his son’s situation, couldn’t help but praise him. At such a young age, he possessed such self-discipline and self-planning.
Leaving aside other things, just this personality alone meant his future prospects would not be bad.
“Good. If you have any problems during your Cultivation, you can send me a message and ask.”
Lu Changsheng tossed a communication Talisman to his son, saying with a faint smile, finding this son quite interesting, then strode away.
“Father…”
Lu Shouzheng looked at Lu Changsheng, whose figure had disappeared, and then at the communication Talisman in his hand, his expression calm. He found this Father quite interesting, different from what he had imagined.
In his early years, his image of his Father was very grand.
But after coming to Bihu Mountain, and realizing that his Father was the Lord of this Bihu Mountain, he felt that he didn’t match the person his Mother had described at all.
He even felt it was unfair to his Mother after learning that Lu Changsheng had a multitude of wives, concubines, sons, and daughters.
However, his Mother had named him “Shou Zheng” (meaning ‘upholding righteousness’), hoping that he would Cultivate himself and uphold the Righteous Path, so he naturally wouldn’t defy his parents.
And he himself had always adhered to his Mother’s words: “Upholding oneself is paramount, with a righteous heart and sincere intentions.”
After visiting Lu Shouzheng, Lu Changsheng spent time with his wives, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and other women.
As for Xiao Xiyue.
The latter had a rather cold temperament, so she naturally wouldn’t share a bed with him in such a manner.
Lu Changsheng also wouldn’t force her on this matter.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng arrived at Xumi Grotto-heaven, preparing to meet Xiao Xiyue.
But just then, he suddenly remembered something he had always forgotten and came to a side hall.
This side hall was spacious and simple, with only a crystal coffin.
It was the crystal coffin where Bing’er slept.
From the moment she was brought home, Bing’er, aside from clinging to Lu Changsheng and playing games, would usually lie in the ice coffin.
But Bai Ling told Lu Changsheng that in the fourth year after he left, Bing’er suddenly slept for over a year.
She thought something had happened to Bing’er and went to check.
But the latter only said she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Just like that, Bing’er had been sleeping until now.
Unless she opened the ice coffin and actively called Bing’er, the latter would almost never wake up on her own.
Lu Changsheng quietly looked at the ice coffin in front of him, unable to discern anything amiss.
The only issue, if any, was that in earlier years, as soon as he approached Bing’er, she would rise from the coffin.
After gazing at the ice coffin for a moment, Lu Changsheng let out a soft breath and walked out of the side hall, planning to check again later.
“Xiao Xiyue.”
Upon arriving at Xiao Xiyue’s Immortal Cave, Lu Changsheng, without waiting for her to say more, strode forward with a face full of affection and embraced the Fairy’s jade body.
These past few days, Xiao Xiyue had been waiting for Lu Changsheng to return, so much so that even she, a Guanghan Fairy who was not easily troubled by emotions, felt somewhat anxious and annoyed.
And Lu Changsheng knew this, so he planned to nurture their feelings first before discussing matters.
Afterward!
Afterward!
Afterward!
Fairy Xiyue, who was usually cool, pure, and like the Nine Heavens bright moon, was now sprawled on the bed, soft as a silkworm.
Her exquisite face was flushed with a captivating rosy hue, and she breathed out fragrant air, her ethereal Fairy jade body, fair with a hint of red, was simply beyond words.
Her straight and slender beautiful legs trembled slightly for some reason, especially her two delicate and beautiful feet, which curled gently, making her incredibly alluring.
“How do you plan to handle the matter between Senior Sister and Shou Zheng?”
After a long while, Xiao Xiyue recovered from the afterglow and spoke to Lu Changsheng.
Her beautiful eyes carried a hint of resentment and anger in her tone.
But at this moment, the blush on her face had not faded, and her voice was charming, as if she was shyly flirting with Lu Changsheng, breathtakingly beautiful.
“Xiao Xiyue, you should know about the matter between Senior Sister and me. Earlier, Senior Sister encountered Jiaolong Shengzi on the front line and was severely injured. How could I not help? Who knew she would become pregnant…”
Lu Changsheng had long guessed that his wife would ask about these things, and immediately said with a bitter smile.
Seeing Xiao Xiyue’s beautiful eyes staring directly at him, he continued, “Now that the matter is done, when Senior Sister returns, I will go to Qingyun Sect to propose marriage.”
However, upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but softly pinch Lu Changsheng’s waist, feeling that this man was simply too thick-skinned.
Even though Lu Changsheng had a fourth-order physique and such a pinch couldn’t cause any pain, he still made a gesture of begging for mercy, indicating that the deed was done and he could only try to compensate.
“Hmph.”
Xiao Xiyue looked at him with a resentful expression, snorted softly, and continued, “Besides Senior Sister, is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Facing Xiao Xiyue’s gaze, Lu Changsheng felt incredibly guilty, thinking that honesty was the best policy, but he didn’t know how to begin.
Thinking that Yun Wanchang was already pregnant and Xiao Xiyue most likely knew, it was meaningless to keep hiding, so Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, “Actually, between me and Immortal Master Caiyun, it was also fate playing tricks.”
“Goodness, you really have something going on with Master!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue immediately said coquettishly, pinching Lu Changsheng hard.
Even though her feelings for Lu Changsheng were incredibly deep, at this moment, she couldn’t suppress her emotions.
This man and Senior Sister was one thing.
But even with Master…
For a moment, Xiao Xiyue didn’t know what to say. She just stared straight at Lu Changsheng, wanting to see how he would explain!
Lu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this.
Xiao Xiyue didn’t know?
However, he had no intention of hiding this matter from Xiao Xiyue anymore, and softly said, “This is a long story.”
“Then take your time, we have all the time in the world!”
Xiao Xiyue snorted coldly.
“???”
Lu Changsheng really wanted to ask, where was the Xiao Xiyue who was usually gentle and considerate only to him?
But meeting Xiao Xiyue’s gaze, he didn’t dare to be playful. He held her jade hand and sighed, saying, “Xiao Xiyue, you should remember when I married into Qingzhu Mountain, and later managed a shop in Nine Dragon Market under Qingyun Sect, right?”
“Hmm.”
Xiao Xiyue nodded lightly, knowing Lu Changsheng’s general experiences in his early years.
“In my first year after going to Nine Dragon Market, there was a time when I returned to Qingzhu Mountain…”
Lu Changsheng placed Xiao Xiyue’s jade hand on his chest, his eyes met hers, and his thoughts drifted back to over a hundred years ago.
Not to mention the extraordinary memory of a Nascent Soul-level Taiyi Divine Soul, this incident alone was deeply etched in Lu Changsheng’s memory, unforgettable.
“On my way back, I encountered two rogue Cultivators… Although I dealt with them using Talismans, my mount, the Iron Feather Eagle, was startled, so I could only spend the night in the mountains…”
“Late at night, I suddenly heard a terrifying sound of mountains collapsing and earth splitting. I could only hide in a cave, not daring to go out. However, after waiting for a long time, and the sound disappeared, a woman dressed in colorful and luxurious robes suddenly appeared before me…”
Lu Changsheng slowly recounted.
