Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 934: A century-long agreement, a battle of wits!
Chapter 931: A Hundred-Year Agreement, A Battle!
“Furthermore, the heavenly order dictates that men and women marry; I, Lu, am a dignified man, and I do not have the habit of relying on others.”
Lu Changsheng’s expression was righteous as he continued.
The reason Old Ancestor Lu had reached this point today was through unremitting effort and unyielding perseverance.
If he were to take the crooked path of relying on a woman, how could he Face the persistence and effort of over a hundred years?
“The heavenly order dictates that men and women marry.”
Ao Long heard this and chuckled softly, seemingly understanding why Lu Changsheng was unwilling to go to the East Sea Cultivation World with her.
As a man, and a Reincarnation of a Great Cultivator, he was naturally extremely proud; how could he be willing to marry her as Husband?
She straightened up, her slightly disheveled blue-purple Dragon Scale dress slipping a little onto Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, and said in a clear, deep voice, full of magnetic charm: “So, Fellow Daoist minds this?”
“I have never heard of such a thing as men marrying women; I only know that strength is respected. Now that my strength surpasses Fellow Daoist Lu, isn’t it only natural for Fellow Daoist to marry me?”
“Moreover, my Azure Dragon Clan is the overlord of the East Sea, and there is a rule in our clan that direct descendants cannot marry outside, so only Fellow Daoist can marry me as Husband.”
“However, Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, as long as you marry me, I will treat you well. I will be the Dragon King, and you will be the Dragon Queen, ruling a sea with me, second only to one Demon, above all other Demons.”
As Ao Long spoke, a Dragon might subtly permeated the air, and the clear, cold brilliance of a deep-sea pearl surged from the clear blue, crystalline Dragon horns on her forehead, fully displaying her Heavenly might.
This was the innate pressure of the Azure Dragon Bloodline!
Ordinary Demon Kings and Sea Beasts, facing such pressure, would likely lose all resistance and prostrate themselves, trembling.
However, Lu Changsheng possessed a Chaos Body and a Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Soul, and was unaffected.
Through this Dragon might, Lu Changsheng felt that Ao Long’s strength had already surpassed Qingjiao King and even Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor.
Fourth-Order Late Stage?
Lu Changsheng was surprised in his heart, but also felt it wasn’t quite right.
If she were Fourth-Order Late Stage, with her Azure Dragon descendant Bloodline, he shouldn’t have been able to tackle her earlier.
“Fellow Daoist Ao’s good intentions are appreciated by Lu.”
Lu Changsheng met Ao Long’s eyes, which were like molten gold in the scorching sun, and said without changing his expression: “Lu has his own Dao path and no intention of going to the East Sea Cultivation World.”
“You—”
Ao Long didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to still refuse her after she showed such sincerity.
“The Nanhua Cultivation World has no Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein, no environment or conditions to break through to Soul Transformation, which means your Dao path is cut off. If you come with me to the East Sea Cultivation World, I can clear all your tribulations for you and help you safely Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.”
“Moreover, I even agree to let you bring your wives and concubines with you. What do you have to worry about? Don’t you understand my intentions?”
Ao Long said urgently, very perplexed, her voice even carrying a hint of annoyance and imperceptible grievance, feeling that Lu Changsheng completely misunderstood her intentions.
One must know, she was a direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan.
If she were to hold a marriage recruitment, in the East Sea Cultivation World, who knows how many Prodigies of the Yao Race and Human Race Cultivators would line up to come.
What’s more, her Bloodline had advanced further now; as long as she returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace, she would be valued by the Dragon Monarch, and Fifth-Order would be within reach.
Yet Lu Changsheng repeatedly refused.
Ao Long’s chest rose and fell with indignation, her proud peaks outlining a breathtakingly alluring curve.
Lu Changsheng looked at the stubbornness, fervor, and incomprehension in Ao Long’s molten gold eyes.
He knew that her feelings for him were true and not feigned.
However, the Yao Race’s concept of emotions was different from that of the Human Race; once she had made up her mind, she likely wouldn’t give up easily.
He sighed softly and said, “It’s hard to leave one’s homeland, just as Fellow Daoist Ao, upon recovering her physical state, immediately wanted to return to the East Sea.”
“Moreover, Fellow Daoist has her pride, and Lu also has his persistence. To make me abandon my present and go to the East Sea Cultivation World, relying on the Azure Dragon Clan’s whims, is not what I desire.”
Lu Changsheng looked at her frankly.
“With me here, why would you need to rely on anyone else’s whims?!”
Ao Long’s brows and eyes were filled with an inviolable, awe-inspiring dignity, and she said, “Fellow Daoist Lu still has reservations now, but if you come with me to the East Sea Dragon Palace, you will naturally understand my intentions!”
In her view, Lu Changsheng’s refusal was merely due to concerns about Face and insufficient understanding or trust in her and the Azure Dragon Clan.
Once they arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace and he witnessed the Azure Dragon Clan’s heritage, as well as her status and position within the Azure Dragon Clan, he would naturally be willing.
“…”
Lu Changsheng looked at Ao Long’s resolute gaze, as if she wouldn’t give up until she took him to the East Sea, and suddenly missed the soft and weak Ao Long from before.
He felt that women were still better when they were gentle and like virtuous wives and mothers.
Someone like Ao Long, to marry her and subdue her, to control her, was not a simple matter.
He sighed inwardly, feeling that if this matter wasn’t handled well, his桃花运 (romantic luck) could turn into a桃花劫 (romantic tribulation).
Lu Changsheng’s expression softened, and he reached out to grasp Ao Long’s hand, which was covered in light blue-purple Dragon scales, saying, “Fellow Daoist Ao’s intentions for me, I naturally understand and can feel.”
“Lu also has a good impression of Fellow Daoist Ao, but besides my family, Lu also has many other matters, so it’s truly inconvenient to go to the East Sea.”
“However, if two hearts are long-lasting, why cling to every morning and evening? Fellow Daoist Ao, you go back to the East Sea and attend to your matters first. Once I have finished with the matters of Nanhua, I will naturally go to the East Sea to pay my respects, and then we can discuss the matter of marriage.”
Although Ao Long’s current personality was not as suitable for being the mother of his children as before.
But in life, only feelings and the mother of one’s children should not be let down.
Since she had expressed her feelings so clearly, how could Lu Changsheng bear to refuse?
Moreover, Old Ancestor Lu’s principle of conduct since his Cultivation was to forge good relationships.
This relationship with Ao Long could not only make her the mother of his children, a future option for breaking through to Soul Transformation, but also a retreat for the Demonic Path Great Tribulation!
According to Qu Changge, it wouldn’t be long before Blood Sea Ancestor would stir up the Blood Sea Great Tribulation, aiming for Soul Transformation.
And other Demonic Path forces would also respond, forming a dark turmoil.
The specific situation of this great tribulation and turmoil, and how it would ultimately conclude, no one knew.
But it was better to be prepared.
If this great tribulation were to sweep from the Central Region to the Northern Region, then Lu Changsheng could consider Xingxiu Sea, or even the East Sea Cultivation World, as a retreat.
“If two hearts are long-lasting, why cling to every morning and evening?”
Ao Long frowned slightly, not understanding Lu Changsheng’s roundabout way of speaking.
She felt that since both parties were interested, why be so hesitant?
If there were any troublesome matters to deal with, he should just tell her directly.
With her and his strength, could they not solve it?
However, Lu Changsheng’s sincere and gentle eyes and warm hand seemed to be telling her: “I understand you, but I also hope you understand me.”
Looking at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and refined Face, Ao Long’s restless mood gradually calmed.
“Alright, I’ll give you a hundred years. Within a hundred years, you must finish your matters and come to the East Sea to find me.”
Ao Long’s expression was cold, her eyes burning, like a Dragon Queen, carrying an undeniable majesty and dominance.
A hundred years, for her Azure Dragon Clan, or for Nascent Soul cultivators like Lu Changsheng, was neither long nor short.
After speaking, she leaned her head closer, her dark red lips exhaling a clear, icy glow like a secluded orchid, and said coldly: “If you don’t come within a hundred years, I…”
Her voice paused slightly, swallowing the words “I’ll tie you up and bring you back to the East Sea.”
Then it turned into a cold snort like a Dragon’s roar: “I will cross the boundless sea and come to Nanhua to see how important your many matters truly are!”
Lu Changsheng felt that in a hundred years, he should Breakthrough to Nascent Soul Late Stage and begin preparing for Soul Transformation matters.
By then, meeting Ao Long and suppressing her should not be a problem.
“Since that’s the case, it’s settled. Within a hundred years, I will definitely bring betrothal gifts to your door.”
Lu Changsheng’s lips curved into a gentle smile.
“Not betrothal gifts, but a dowry!”
Ao Long corrected his notion of men marrying women, believing that in matters of gender, strength was paramount.
“Whether it’s a betrothal or a dowry, we’ll discuss it then.” Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, not dwelling on it too much.
In the Cultivation World, strength was paramount.
Yao Race like Ao Long believed in this concept even more.
Therefore, arguing about marriage was meaningless; at that time, whoever was stronger would have the say.
If it weren’t for the fact that his current direct strength could not suppress Ao Long, Lu Changsheng would have had a good discussion with her right now!
Ao Long heard this and knew that Lu Changsheng was proud and still couldn’t let go of his Face.
She didn’t care about this at all.
Once she returned to the East Sea, she could rely on her Bloodline Power to gain the Dragon Monarch’s favor and enter the Dragon Transformation Pool again, her Cultivation and strength progressing rapidly, with Fifth-Order within reach.
Even if Lu Changsheng was the Reincarnation of a True Venerable Transformation God, he couldn’t compare to her.
Even if he possessed the legacy of his previous life, and his methods surpassed ordinary people, progressing rapidly and being close to her, she was an Azure Dragon descendant!
Except for True Spirit of pure Bloodline, among those of the same Realm, no one was a match for an Azure Dragon descendant like her!
Unless Lu Changsheng could Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, leading her by a large Realm.
But such a thing was simply impossible.
“But before that, I need to collect some interest first!”
Ao Long’s Azure Dragon Power surged, and she tackled Lu Changsheng, a cool breath washing over him as she kissed him deeply.
Lu Changsheng: “???”
Old Ancestor Lu, who had always respected women, never felt that such things were to his advantage.
Now, he was clearly the one being taken advantage of!
Although Old Ancestor Lu didn’t mind too much.
But how could True Monarch Changsheng be someone who passively accepted things?
“Boom!”
Lu Changsheng’s Qi and Blood surged like a breaking Heavenly River, madly rushing and flowing, his Fourth-Order Middle Stage physique beginning to revive.
Although his Body Refining was a side Cultivation, and the Vatican Devil True Saint Art had not been Cultivated much.
But relying on the terrifying amplification of the Chaos Body, he was already no weaker than a True Spirit-level Fourth-Order Demon King of the same rank!
Seeing Lu Changsheng wanting to turn the tables, Ao Long looked surprised.
She had known before that Lu Changsheng practiced both magic and Body Refining, and his Physical Body was extraordinary.
But she hadn’t expected that a Human Race Cultivator like him would possess such an astonishing physique.
One must know that Human Race Cultivators were known for their Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures.
In terms of Physical Body, they were far from comparable to the Yao Race, let alone a pure-blooded descendant like her!
“Interesting!”
At this moment, Ao Long became even more enamored with Lu Changsheng.
She felt that he was simply her perfect match; not only was he good-looking and possessed extraordinary Cultivation and strength, but he also had such a Physical Body.
This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about him being unable to bear it.
In an instant, Ao Long’s Azure Dragon Power surged throughout her body. Her blue-purple Dragon Scale dress and the scales covering her arms and slender, beautiful legs all glowed brightly, as if a layer of blue-purple mist溢出 (overflowed), shimmering with power.
Lu Changsheng, who wanted to turn the tables, was instantly suppressed by Ao Long.
Lu Changsheng was not to be outdone; his Physical Body crackled, Qi and Blood, Magic Power, and techniques were all employed, and he unleashed the Physical Body Divine Ability [Chaos Manifestation].
“Boom boom boom—”
For a moment, on the dark blue sea marrow jade couch, their bodies tangled together, creating bursts of intense movement and fluctuations.
If not for the Formation Restrictions covering the deepest part of this palace, it would likely be unable to withstand it.
Their intense movements surprised and puzzled Qingjiao King and Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor, who were waiting outside.
They wondered why the two were making such a fuss while healing their injuries.
“Little Sister!”
“Master!”
They immediately asked with concern.
“Fully activate the Restrictions!”
Ao Long’s voice was like a Dragon’s roar, clear, deep, majestic, and soaring, her tall, graceful, and proud body suppressing Lu Changsheng, her eyes, like molten gold in the scorching sun, filled with fervor and a hazy allure.
Her blue-purple Dragon Scale dress had slipped, revealing her soft skin adorned with tiny Dragon scales and her proud curves.
Her skin was not only fair and translucent but also radiated an inexpressible vitality, vigor, and strength.
“Hiss…” Lu Changsheng looked at the trembling, exquisitely crafted jade body before him and couldn’t help but gasp.
He thought to himself, as expected of the Yao Race.
This proportion, this size, was simply inhuman!
If there was a problem, the only flaw in this body was that her arms, hands, and beautiful legs and feet were all covered with a layer of translucent Dragon scales, making it impossible to savor and caress them in detail.
“Hmph!” Ao Long, like a Queen, felt Lu Changsheng’s fervent gaze and let out a very proud snort.
Although such a gaze was presumptuous and rude.
This was precisely the manifestation of her charm!
However, wasn’t this a bit too fast?
Just now, she had only intended to collect some interest.
And then transfer some Dragon Essence to Lu Changsheng as compensation, forming a “Azure Dragon Mark.”
But as she wrestled with Lu Changsheng, engaging in a battle of techniques, she somehow gradually lost control.
However, with the arrow already on the string, and having already decided that Lu Changsheng would be her future Husband, Ao Long no longer hesitated.
A soft groan, like a Dragon’s roar and a Phoenix’s cry, echoed.
Although the Formation Restrictions in the deepest part of the Green Dragon Island palace were fully activated.
These Formation Restrictions were actually connected to the boundless sea.
Through Spiritual Veins and Green Dragon Island, they utilized the power of the deep sea to form layers of Restrictions.
Therefore, during these days, the movements in the deepest part of the palace caused the surrounding waters of Green Dragon Island to surge and waves to roll.
“…”
Although Qingjiao King and Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor didn’t know the situation in the deepest part of the palace.
But through the waves of seemingly intense, yet not violent, movements and fluctuations, they vaguely guessed what was happening inside.
Although Qingjiao King had long known that his Lord had taken a fancy to Lu Changsheng, that pretty boy, a Human Race Cultivator.
But he never expected…
“As expected of the Lord, a Reincarnation of a Great Cultivator!” Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor was calm and content, filled with joy.
Previously, when he recognized Ao Long as having the Azure Dragon Bloodline, he had already conceived an idea.
For example, by helping her heal, he could establish a connection with the Azure Dragon Clan.
He never imagined that his own Lord would form such a close relationship with this Azure Dragon descendant!
With this connection, if they were to go to the East Sea Cultivation World in the future, they could leverage the power of the Azure Dragon Clan!
