Chapter 87: Beauty is like a wolf or a tiger, it can destroy people’s will!
“What strange hobbies could I possibly have?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were clear, and he spoke with a calm expression.
Looking at Lu Changsheng’s composed appearance, Lu Miaohuan glanced at him suspiciously, then withdrew her gaze and said nothing.
After all, she dressed up like this to be seen.
Although she usually glared at those who stared, as if saying, ‘What are you looking at? Look again, and I’ll dig your eyes out,’ or directly scolded them.
But at this moment, she didn’t show any disgust or aversion to Lu Changsheng’s gaze; instead, she felt a hint of secret joy.
She thought she was charming and that she was the most beautiful.
And so, the two walked side by side for a while.
“Alright, I’m almost at the East District Lu Family Courtyard, Second Miss, goodbye.”
Reaching an intersection, Lu Changsheng directly waved goodbye to Lu Miaohuan.
He didn’t have much to talk about with this Second Miss, and since he was home, he naturally wanted to go back and bathe.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng left after walking only a short distance, without offering to escort her or even asking if she wanted to visit and have a cup of tea, Lu Miaohuan pursed her lips and harrumphed softly, saying, “Goodbye.”
Then, like a proud and aloof peacock, she ‘clack-clack-clacked’ away on her high heels.
Night fell.
Baiyu Tower sent the four maids Lu Changsheng had purchased.
Because Lu Changsheng didn’t want to wait, the four maids he chose were all immediately available.
However, Xiao Yueru, who possessed a Spiritual Root, would have to wait for Baiyu Tower to notify him, and she would be delivered within a month.
Gao He next door was speechless when he saw Lu Changsheng buying maids again.
He didn’t often come to Lu Changsheng’s house, and instead invited Lu Changsheng to his own home for tea, because he felt that there were too many women in Lu Changsheng’s courtyard, and it wasn’t appropriate to visit often.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng buying maids again, he couldn’t help but think to himself that he should also be careful.
After all, he also had a daughter at home.
Although his daughter was still young, Lu Changsheng’s appearance, demeanor, and temperament were simply irresistible to all ages, causing him to feel a bit worried at this moment.
Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t know what Gao He was thinking.
After having four more maids, he discovered another problem.
That was that the courtyard was becoming too small.
If he continued like this, if he added a few more people, this courtyard would be too small, and they would have to live in cramped quarters.
“Sigh, it’s almost enough, I have to take it easy.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.
Although Lu Changsheng bought maids, the Lu Family, Lu Miaoyun, and the others wouldn’t say anything.
But it had only been a little over half a year since he came to Nine Dragon Market, and he already had ten more children outside, which was indeed a bit too fast.
Moreover, supporting such a group of maids in Nine Dragon Market was also a considerable expense.
Since these maids were carrying his children, he naturally couldn’t mistreat them.
What they ate and drank were all Spirit Rice and Spiritual Food.
They also needed to apply for long-term identity tokens for Nine Dragon Market to live in Nine Dragon Market.
These scattered living expenses added up to a considerable amount when there were many of them.
Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford it.
Lu Changsheng didn’t think much about it and had the newly arrived maids serve him in his bath.
The next afternoon, Lu Miaoge came to Lingfu Shop.
She came to thank Lu Changsheng for Lu Miaohuan’s matter.
Nine Dragon Market was neither big nor small, and the Lu Family and Zheng Family both had some influence in the market, so it was normal for such things to reach their ears.
Lu Changsheng naturally said it was a small matter and nothing to worry about.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
In Lu Changsheng’s daily life, other than the addition of refining the Black Dragon Magic Pearl, there were no other changes.
After more than half a month of refinement, he had refined almost one-fifth of the Black Dragon Magic Pearl.
And among the four maids he had purchased earlier, one had successfully become pregnant under his favor.
On this day, a servant came to Lingfu Shop to notify him on behalf of Fourth Elder.
He said that they would be returning to Qingzhu Mountain in ten days and asked if Lu Changsheng wanted to return with him.
“Please tell Fourth Elder that I will return with him then.”
Lu Changsheng replied immediately upon hearing this.
It had been almost four months since he had returned.
Now that Fourth Elder was returning, he would naturally go home along the way.
Six days later, it was the day for Lingfu Shop to replenish its stock and inspect the goods.
Lu Changsheng had also informed Gao He in advance.
Then, with Gao He’s help, the two of them completed the inspection of all the goods in two days.
“Brother Gao, thank you for this trip.”
Lu Changsheng took out twenty Spirit Stone.
This was the agreed-upon wage.
“Brother Lu, you’re too kind; I should be thanking you.”
Gao He wasn’t polite and happily accepted the Spirit Stone.
As a Middle-Grade Talisman Master, a wage of ten Spirit Stone a day was a pretty good side income.
After accepting the Spirit Stone, Gao He hesitated slightly and said, “Brother Lu, there are some things I don’t know whether to say or not.”
“Oh? Brother Gao, just say it; what’s there to say or not say?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and said casually.
“Well, I, Gao He, as the resident Talisman Master at Lingfu Shop, usually drink and chat with the Talisman Masters and shopkeepers of other Lingfu Shops, so I roughly know the situation of some Talisman Shops in this market and their good product rate.”
“With the reputation of your Lu Family’s shop, Brother Lu, this situation with defective goods is slightly unreasonable.”
“Especially like you, Brother Lu, canceling cooperation with several suppliers every few months; at this rate, I’m afraid you’ll have cooperated with all the Talisman Masters in the entire market.”
Gao He said, speaking like this.
Lu Changsheng immediately understood what Gao He meant upon hearing this.
He was indicating to him that there was a bit of a problem with the shop’s supply.
How could he not understand the reasoning behind it after being in the shop for so long?
The entire Lingfu Shop’s stocking, procurement, and cooperation matters were all handled by the shopkeeper, Zhang Shan, alone.
He wouldn’t believe that there wasn’t a single shady deal or a drop of kickback in it.
He himself had casually obtained the title of supplier and cooperated, so it was obviously not difficult for Zhang Shan to do the same.
However, Zhang Shan had been working at Lingfu Shop for over ten years, and he had performed well in the past six months, being able to do things and handle matters well.
So, taking a little kickback was understandable.
As long as it wasn’t too excessive, Lu Changsheng would turn a blind eye.
After all, water that is too clear has no fish.
“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Gao; I also understand and know the reasoning behind it.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“It seems I’ve said too much; well, yes, there’s really no big problem.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Shan also knew that his worries were unnecessary.
He had been in contact with Lu Changsheng for so long, and their relationship was not bad, so he was worried that Lu Changsheng was too young and being kept in the dark, which was why he spoke up to remind him.
“Brother Gao is willing to tell me this, which shows that he considers me, Lu Changsheng, a friend.”
Lu Changsheng waved his hand, knowing that Gao He’s reminder was well-intentioned.
He also knew Gao He’s character, otherwise he wouldn’t have invited him to help.
Immediately, the two went out with laughter and chatter and ate a meal at Jade Cuisine Pavilion.
Yu Maocheng, the owner of Jade Cuisine Pavilion, gave them an 80% discount when he saw them and even sent a plate of side dishes.
Three days later.
“Fourth Elder, Lu Miaoge.”
Lu Changsheng was taking a bath in the backyard.
Hearing the maid Bai He say that Fourth Elder and Young Miss had come to visit, he immediately went to the living room.
“Hehe, I originally wanted to have someone notify you to come directly to the East District Lu Family Courtyard to live, as we will be setting off to return to Qingzhu Mountain early tomorrow morning.”
“But I thought that you’ve moved out and lived on your own for so long, and I haven’t come to see you yet, so I came over to take a look. Am I disturbing you?”
In the hall, Fourth Elder, wearing a green robe and tall in stature, held a cup of tea and said with a smile.
Young Miss Lu Miaoge, dressed in white, sat gracefully to the side.
“How could it be? I, Changsheng, am more than happy to welcome you, Fourth Elder.”
Lu Changsheng said politely.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng chatted with Fourth Elder for a while and also took Fourth Elder and Lu Miaoge on a small tour of the courtyard.
During the process, Fourth Elder couldn’t help but shake his head secretly when he saw so many beautiful women in Lu Changsheng’s courtyard.
He thought that Lu Changsheng’s reputation for being fond of women was indeed well-deserved.
How long had it been since he came to Nine Dragon Market?
In just over half a year, he had taken so many concubines with superior appearances and figures.
When he saw that several of the concubines were pregnant, he couldn’t help but frown and take a few more glances.
As a result, he discovered that almost every woman in the courtyard was pregnant.
Fourth Elder couldn’t help but count.
One, two, three… eleven!
After counting the number of pregnant people, Fourth Elder was instantly dumbfounded.
He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to take concubines, buy so many maids, and then get them all pregnant.
Was the energy of young people so vigorous?
Didn’t he need to Cultivate, draw Talismans, work, or do other things?
Fourth Elder couldn’t help but look at Lu Changsheng and ask, “Changsheng, are these all your newly taken concubines? Carrying your children?”
Even though he knew he was asking nonsense, that these women were definitely Lu Changsheng’s concubines and carrying Lu Changsheng’s children, he still couldn’t help but confirm it again.
The main thing was that this matter was really a bit outrageous.
For Cultivator, matters between men and women would damage their original yang Qi and affect their Cultivate speed.
Even Dual Cultivation with Dao Companion was very restrained in this regard, only doing it occasionally, not day and night, being too addicted.
But Lu Changsheng’s kind, in just over half a year, directly getting eleven pregnant, was obviously going to die.
Lu Miaoge on the side pursed her lips and didn’t speak.
But in her beautiful eyes, she couldn’t help but reveal a hint of faint disappointment.
In her opinion, if Lu Changsheng was willing to Cultivate wholeheartedly and focus on the Dao of Talismans, he still had hope of fighting for a chance at Foundation Establishment after becoming a Second-Order Talisman Master.
She had also talked to Lu Changsheng about this aspect.
But seeing Lu Changsheng bring Guan Xin to Nine Dragon Market, and now having so many concubines, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Knowing that Lu Changsheng hadn’t listened to her words.
“Yes, Second Elder, these are all concubines that Lu Changsheng has recently taken in, and they are pregnant with my children.”
Lu Changsheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
He himself knew that in this world, as a Cultivator, creating eleven children in just over half a year was a bit much, relatively speaking.
Although he didn’t usually feel anything himself, nor did he feel embarrassed.
But when the Second Elder asked about it at this time, he still felt a little embarrassed.
After all, the latter was considered his Elder.
Especially since Lu Miaoge was also nearby.
“Sigh.”
The Second Elder couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh when he heard this.
At this moment, he had a deep understanding of Lu Changsheng’s reputation in Qingzhu Mountain for liking to marry wives, take concubines, and have children.
He coughed lightly twice, and then said to Lu Changsheng: “Chang Sheng, beauty is like a wolf or tiger, disintegrating one’s will. It’s natural to enjoy it occasionally and relax a little.”
“But don’t be too addicted to this aspect, you still have to put your time and energy into Cultivate and the Dao of Talismans.”
The Second Elder said earnestly.
Saying this kind of thing is outrageous, it is a bit outrageous.
But to say it’s too much, it’s not.
After all, it’s his private life, and he can’t interfere too much or say too much.
Thinking that after returning this time, he should still tell the Fourth Elder, and let the Fourth Elder persuade him.
Otherwise, in his opinion, if Lu Changsheng continues to create like this without restraint, he will really ruin himself.
If he is ruined, it would be a great loss for their Lu family.
“How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den!”
Lu Changsheng really wanted to say this, but he still responded with a serious and respectful face: “Second Elder is right, Lu Changsheng respectfully obeys your teachings.”
After all, the other party is an Elder, so he will honestly listen and respond when they mention this kind of thing.
As for what to do in the end, it depends on himself.
However, Lu Changsheng himself also plans to restrain himself a little in the next period of time and save some money.
Before, he was thinking about buying a magic robe and a beauty pill for his wives, concubines, and children.
But he spends money as soon as he has it, and the expenses increase, which leads to him not being able to save any money at all.
When he goes back this time, he doesn’t have any money to buy slightly more valuable gifts.
“Yes.”
Seeing this, the Second Elder didn’t continue to say anything more.
Saying too much of this kind of thing will only make people feel disgusted.
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng told Xiao Qing, and then went to East District Lu Family Courtyard with the Second Elder and Lu Miaoge to live.
Prepare to return to Qingzhu Mountain together early tomorrow morning.
Arriving at the East District Courtyard, the arrangement this time was still the small courtyard where they lived last time.
“Knock knock knock!”
Lu Changsheng was sitting in the room Cultivate when he heard a knock on the door.
He got up and opened the door.
“Cheng Ge?”
Standing outside the door was Lu Miaocheng.
“Changsheng, this is the Spirit Stone I borrowed from you before.”
When Lu Miaocheng saw Lu Changsheng, he directly took out twenty Spirit Stone and said.
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
He didn’t expect that Lu Miaocheng would take the initiative to return the money.
To be honest, he had already considered these twenty Spirit Stone as lost.
The other party’s behavior really surprised him.
“Cheng Ge is too polite, and it’s troublesome for you to make a special trip.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and took the Spirit Stone.
He could see that Lu Miaocheng’s spirit and complexion were much better now.
It is estimated that he has not read books and tasted tea for a while.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to save Spirit Stone.
“What’s the trouble, I’ve owed it for so long.”
Lu Miaocheng patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder and said enthusiastically: “Chang Sheng, Chunman House will have a new batch of tea next month, I’ll treat you then, let’s go together.”
The corners of Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly.
He thought that this Cheng Ge had quit, but it seems that he was thinking too much.
He couldn’t help but wave his hand and said with a righteous face: “Cheng Ge, I never go to this kind of place.”
“Chang Sheng, let me tell you, many of these new teas are unopened.”
Lu Miaocheng continued.
“No, no, I’m still not going.”
Lu Changsheng said firmly.
He has so many wives, concubines, and maids at home, why would he go to this kind of place?
It’s simply a waste of money and energy!
With the money, he can buy two maids for himself, buy some gifts for his wife and children, wouldn’t that be better?
“Okay then.”
Seeing this, Lu Miaocheng felt bored and stopped persuading him.
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaocheng’s back and thought to himself, does this Cheng Ge just have fun when he’s playing, and then recuperate and abstain for a while, and so on in a cycle?
Otherwise, why was he so weak before, but now he looks normal even though he hasn’t quit.
Early the next morning, the Second Elder took Lu Changsheng and several other members of the Lu family and walked out of the east gate of Nine Dragon Market.
Then, he took out a palm-sized earthy yellow flying boat.
Under the activation of mana, the flying boat immediately flew out of the palm of his hand and turned into a small boat that was a zhang long. Inside and outside the boat were painted Formation patterns.
“Get on.”
The Second Elder said.
Lu Changsheng walked onto the flying boat and found a seat to sit down.
There were a total of seven seats on the flying boat. Under the seats, you could see slots inlaid with Spirit Stone.
Knowing that this kind of flying boat can replace Cultivator’s mana to drive it by putting in Spirit Stone.
Otherwise, relying solely on the mana of Cultivators would not be able to achieve long-distance flight at all, and the consumption would be too great.
“Go!”
After everyone was seated, the Second Elder also stepped onto the flying boat, pinched a magic seal, and let a faint water curtain barrier rise from the edge of the flying boat, soaring into the air and shooting away like a stream of light.
“This speed is a bit faster than Iron Feather Eagle. If you squeeze it, you can seat a dozen people.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the speed of the flying boat and thought to himself.
He felt that this thing was very good.
If he had one, it would be much more convenient to bring his wives and concubines back and forth to Nine Dragon Market in the future.
However, the price of such a flying boat is at least thousands of Spirit Stone.
Moreover, flying boats are relatively conspicuous. Without a bit of strength, it is easy to be targeted on the road.
A day and a half later.
The flying boat landed in front of Qingzhu Mountain.
Everyone walked down the flying boat and entered Qingzhu Mountain. Lu Changsheng bid farewell and went straight home.
“Husband~”
“Husband is back!”
“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”
As soon as Lu Changsheng walked into the courtyard, his wives and concubines and several children who were in the courtyard saw him and shouted happily, rushing towards him and hugging him.
This scene made Lu Changsheng smile, full of warmth, and he picked up the two children who ran over.
But facing so many children, he could only put them down immediately and hug all the children in turn.
At the same time, he hugged several wives and concubines.
Although there are so many concubines in Nine Dragon Market.
But he lacks the warm feeling of wives and children here.
The wives and children here have been together for so many years, and there is a lot of affection between them.
After a while, Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen and other women also came to see Lu Changsheng with their children in their arms, their eyes full of tenderness and love.
Lu Changsheng saw the little guys in their arms, who seemed to be a bit bigger and very cute.
Afterwards, he also looked at Shui’er and Jiu’er’s children.
The hair of the two little dolls is like their mothers’.
One is red and the other is blue.
But the pupils of their eyes are black.
Seeing his two somewhat non-mainstream children, Lu Changsheng also thought they were quite cute.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng teased the children and chatted with his wives and concubines, listening to them talk about things and saying a few things himself.
At the same time.
In Qingzhu Valley, in another manor.
“Second Brother, are you saying that after Changsheng moved out to live in Nine Dragon Market, he indulged in women all day long, not only taking in a bunch of concubines, but also all of them are pregnant? More than a dozen?”
The Fourth Elder was very surprised when she heard the Second Elder’s words and couldn’t believe it.
She is different from the Second Elder.
After being in contact with Lu Changsheng for so long, she knows that Lu Changsheng likes to have children.
But she didn’t imagine that he was so addicted to women.
He is usually very diligent and serious in Cultivate and Talismans.
But when she heard the Second Elder’s words at this time, she didn’t know what to say for a while.
Because this behavior, in her opinion, is indeed a bit outrageous.
In the beginning, the Lu family recruited sons-in-law, and they only asked for fifty children in twenty years.
As a result, Lu Changsheng made eleven pregnant in just over half a year.
If he continues to give birth like this, will he still Cultivate, will he still practice Talisman?
“Am I the kind of person who likes to joke?”
Seeing that the Fourth Elder didn’t quite believe it, the Second Elder immediately said: “Miaoge was also there at the time and saw it too. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Miaoge then.”
“I can’t say anything about this kind of thing, but as an Elder, you should be closer to him on weekdays. You can talk to Lu Changsheng then and let Miao Yun watch him too.”
“Otherwise, if this continues, I’m really afraid that he will be wasted on women’s bellies.”
The Second Elder sighed.
What he cares about is not that Lu Changsheng takes in concubines.
After all, it is very normal for men to be lustful.
It’s just that Lu Changsheng’s behavior, in his opinion, is really a bit too much.
Beauty is like a wolf or tiger, disintegrating one’s will!
And Lu Changsheng is young and his will is not firm enough, so he may not be able to control himself in this regard.
If he continues like this, a good Talisman Genius may fall here.
“Okay, I’ll go see him tomorrow and ask Changsheng what’s going on.”
The Fourth Elder also showed a bit of solemnity on her face and nodded.
She has a very good impression of Lu Changsheng, this grandson-in-law, in her heart.
She still doesn’t believe that Lu Changsheng will be completely addicted to women and abandon Cultivate and Talismans.
She plans to go and see tomorrow and ask what’s going on.
By the way, she will check Lu Changsheng’s Talisman skills, and then she will know the truth.
