Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 284: Chapter 136: Yun Wanshang: Could Something Have Happened to Xi Yue?_3
But it revealed an unwavering determination.

With the clarity of her Dao Heart, she felt as if her realm had also loosened somewhat.

In the following days,

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue did not venture out, but continued their cultivation practice within the residence.

During these days, under the guidance of Lu Changsheng, Xiao Xiyue’s practice of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique improved rapidly.

She no longer closed her eyes and simply endured his verbal sparring, letting things happen,

but would now slightly shyly collaborate a little.

Although her proud chest still fluttered when caressed, it no longer caused the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique to lose its effect, and gradually she was able to control and restrain this surge of desire.

Pitifully, this made things difficult for Lu Changsheng.

Initially, Lu Changsheng thought he was merely helping a fairy with her practice,

As if helping the future mother of his child.

But once he truly assisted, this was not mere fairy cultivation,

It was also a cultivation for himself.

Thankfully he had his wives in the residence; otherwise, who could withstand it?

While Lu Changsheng was practicing with the fairy,

At Qingyun Sect, Caiyun Peak,

Within a magnificent palace, Yun Wanshang was seated, engaged in alchemy.

A green jade pill furnace, brimming with vitality and lush greenery, slowly rotated above her head.

As a Nascent Soul Immortal, she naturally knew some skills.

In terms of alchemy, although not extremely profound,

she was also a Second-Rank Alchemist.

“Coalesce!”

As she formed hand seals, she sent a Spiritual Art towards the pill furnace.

Elixir medicines flew out one by one from the pill furnace, landing in her hands.

Out of ten elixir medicines, half were dull and scorched, clearly failures.

“What’s wrong with me today? My mental spirit is somewhat restless during alchemy. Could it be that something has happened to Xi Yue?”

Yun Wanshang frowned slightly as she looked at the elixir medicines in her hand.

Her first thought was whether her disciple, Xiao Xiyue, had encountered trouble.

But through the soul guide on Xiao Xiyue’s body, she knew that Xiao Xiyue was not in mortal danger.

Immediately, a jade token appeared in her hand.

This was an information-transmitting jade token, divided into a pair of master and subordinate tokens.

Although it could not convey specific information,

during its creation, one could inscribe general information for simple communication.

Yun Wanshang used the master and subordinate communication tokens to reach out to Xiao Xiyue, inquiring about her situation.

Within the Lu Family residence,

In a room of a courtyard, the sound of ‘huala huala’ could be heard.

Xiao Xiyue sat in a bath bucket, her black hair lightly tied up.

She scooped up the hot water tinged with flower petals with her delicate hands, gently rubbing away the non-existent saliva mark on her snowy skin.

The clear serene beauty on her face was calm, but her eyes that were as bright as the full moon, trembled from time to time, clearly not as tranquil as she appeared.

She had thought that after so many days of cultivation, her mental state would have greatly improved, allowing her to control these emotions.

Yet, under Lu Changsheng’s child-like behavior, her Dao Heart was once again challenged.

But inside, she did not reject such behavior.

Or rather, she did not reject such behavior from Lu Changsheng.

She knew that Lu Changsheng was helping her with her cultivation.

And the effects of such cultivation methods also made her even more certain that Lu Changsheng was indeed the opportunity and key to her breakthrough.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, Xiao Xiyue’s mental spirit stirred slightly, and with a beckoning gesture,

she pulled out a jade token from the nearby storage bag.

Seeing the caring message from her master on the jade token warmed Xiao Xiyue’s heart, and a touch of softness appeared in her eyes.

She also knew that her master was worried about her discipleship and training outside the mountain,

and immediately replied through the jade token, indicating she was well and asked her master to be at ease, not to worry.

Although she had things she wanted to say to her own master, the jade token could only convey simple messages.

Meanwhile,

In Azure Phoenix Immortal City, within a Second-Order Cave Mansion,

“Caiyun True Immortal’s disciple Xiao Xiyue is out on a solo training expedition.”

A young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a Crimson Brocade Robe, with a somewhat sinister and cunning face, looked at the message in his hand.

“Back then, my cheap master went to ambush Yun Wanshang, only to never return.”

“Now they send a message, wanting me to go and ambush this disciple of Caiyun True Immortal, hehe.”

The corners of the young man’s mouth curled up in a cold smirk.

“However, for the sake of this Heavenly Pure Water, I might as well make a trip; after all, she’s just a little Qi Refinement girl.”

“Moreover, if this girl was taken as a disciple by Yun Wanshang, she must have an exceptional talent.”

Looking at the self-destructing jade slip in his hand, greed flickered in his eyes as he stepped out of the mansion.

…

Within the Lu Family residence.

“Zing Zing Zing!”

In a courtyard, Xiao Xiyue played the ancient zither in her white dress and skirt, her demeanor cool and ethereal.

The sound of the zither was lingering and extremely beautiful.

But to those proficient in rhythm, it was evident that the music was somewhat chaotic.

Clearly, the player’s heart was not at peace.

“Sigh!”

Xiao Xiyue stopped playing the zither, sighing deeply.

Her stunningly beautiful face momentarily lost in thought with a blush creeping up her cheeks.

Just recalling the events of the previous day caused desire to surge uncontrollably within her, and the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique began to circulate rapidly.

That day, during their cultivation, Lu Changsheng had lifted and slid off her moon-white dress and then…

Feelings of shyness, shame, panic, confusion, and palpitations tormented her, a sensation like gnawing bones and scorching hearts, making her tremble and unable to compose herself even now.

She felt as if she were ruined.

It was nothing like when she did it herself in the past.

As a result, she hadn’t been able to calm her emotions entirely.

And then yesterday…

Xiao Xiyue looked toward her jade foot wrapped in plain white silk stockings inside her moon-white embroidered shoes.

Her eyes, usually cool and indifferent like the bright moon, were now like a lake disturbed by falling drizzle, rippling slightly.

Just as Xiao Xiyue’s emotions were in turmoil and she was about to use the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique to calm herself,

“Knock Knock Knock—”

A series of knocks sounded at the door.

Xiao Xiyue knew it was Lu Changsheng.

This courtyard was only ever visited by Lu Changsheng.

“Is it time to start cultivating today?”

Xiao Xiyue felt a tinge of restlessness in her heart, mixed with faint anticipation.

“Xiao Daoist.”

Lu Changsheng looked toward Xiao Xiyue in front of the zither, who was clad in white, surpassing the snow, resembling the bright moon above or the Guanghan Fairy, and called out with a smile.

“Lu Daoist, you’ve arrived?”

Xiao Xiyue’s expression was cool, yet pleased as she looked toward the young man.

She didn’t know how Lu Changsheng would cultivate with her today.

“Xiao Daoist, I’ll be away for a while, as there are matters to attend to at Qingzhu Mountain, so I need to make a trip back.”

“Thus, for the upcoming period, it might be inconvenient to cultivate with you,” Lu Changsheng said upfront to the fairy before him.

His trip to Ruyi County City for the appointment had already been earlier than scheduled.

As it had been one or two months since he’d been outside,

he needed to return home briefly to inform his wives and concubines and to handle affairs at the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

Although the days spent cultivating with the fairy brought both pain and pleasure,

he couldn’t forget his home or neglect his duties.

Moreover, the cultivation with the fairy couldn’t be completed in a short time,

and he couldn’t stay with Xiao Xiyue here to cultivate at a leisurely pace.

“Going back.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded at his words.

She was aware that Lu Changsheng spent most of his time in the Cultivation World,

only occasionally visiting the secular realm.

That he had stayed for so long in the secular world this time was because of her cultivation matters.

“You’ve had a hard time these days, Lu Daoist,” Xiao Xiyue said softly.

“You’re too courteous, Xiao Daoist. When I return, probably next month, I should be able to come over,” Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

Though it was painful and joyful, he had also tasted its sweetness, which he found quite acceptable in his view.

“I’ll go with Lu Daoist. I remember that Red Leaf Valley Market is near Qingzhu Mountain,”

“That way it would be convenient for you to go back and forth, Lu Daoist, instead of the trouble of travelling to and fro.”

“Besides, during this time I’ve had some insights and want to go see the Cultivation World,” Xiao Xiyue spoke out.

She felt indebted for Lu Changsheng’s assistance.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s set off right now,” Lu Changsheng felt this would be better and much more convenient upon hearing her words.

After all, the trip from Qingzhu Mountain to Red Leaf Valley was only half a day’s journey.

Spending days in the secular world was not only troublesome with the traveling back and forth but without the Spirit Vein, it also hindered and affected his cultivation.

Xiao Xiyue, hearing Lu Changsheng mention setting off right away to handle proper matters,

Felt an inexplicable hint of slight loss in her heart upon not hearing anything about cultivating together.

However, she didn’t show this emotion and immediately smoothed over and erased these feelings.

She nodded lightly and said, “Alright.”

Immediately, Lu Changsheng informed his wives, concubines, and children and then set off with Xiao Xiyue, riding flying mounts and leaving Ruyi County City for Red Leaf Valley Market.
