Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1742: 442: Father and Son Reunited, Nangong Mili’s Shock

A period of more than half a month passed.

Lu Changsheng and the Five Poisons Cult Leader finally made their return to the Sect.

Due to the influence of the Seven Absolute Love Gu and the extensive time they had spent traveling together, Lu Changsheng felt no hesitation. He walked through the mountain gates alongside Ayoudo with total composure.

"So, this is the Five Poisons Cult?"

Lu Changsheng surveyed his surroundings. The environment wasn't as grim or treacherous as the outside world rumored it to be. Only a handful of mountain peaks were buried under layers of toxic miasma.

The Five Poisons Cult Leader began explaining the Sect's layout to Lu Changsheng. She gestured toward a summit shaped like a massive arachnid, noting that Nangong Mili lived upon that Heavenly Spider Peak.

"Very well."

With a slight nod, Lu Changsheng advised the Five Poisons Cult Leader to get some rest. He then set off toward Heavenly Spider Peak to reunite with Nangong Mili and his son, Lu Minghuang.

"You’ve returned?"

A short while later, Nangong Mili descended from the mountain heights atop a purple Divine Rainbow. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a blend of shock and joy as she looked at Lu Changsheng. Dressed in a Mystic Robe, he looked both elegant and heroic.

She followed up by asking, "Did you reconcile with the Cult Leader?"

While Lu Changsheng and the Five Poisons Cult Leader were away at the Myriad Demon Abyss, she had been consumed by anxiety and dread.

Seeing him stand safely within the Five Poisons Cult now, she immediately deduced that the grudge between him and the Cult Leader had been settled.

"Yes, the matter has been resolved," Lu Changsheng answered with a soft smile. He reached out and took her delicate hand in his.

"Let’s go see Minghuang."

He didn't waste any more words. Together with Nangong Mili, he walked up Heavenly Spider Peak in an affectionate manner.

"Greetings, Heavenly Spider Envoy!"

"Greetings, Peak Master!"

As they climbed, the Cultivators of the Five Poisons Cult and Heavenly Spider Peak were stunned. Seeing Nangong Mili walking so intimately with a man made them feel as if they were seeing a ghost. They bowed quickly, not daring to linger or stare, terrified that a single disrespectful glance would invite disaster.

Before long, the pair reached a courtyard situated on the peak.

In the rear garden, a young boy was focused on his spear practice. He wore a purple outfit and possessed a delicate, tender face that was almost demonically handsome. His eyes sparkled with a distinct golden light.

"Is this Minghuang?"

The moment he saw him, Lu Changsheng knew through their bloodline bond that this was his son, Lu Minghuang.

Had he not known the boy's identity, the delicate features and youthful attire might have led him to mistake the child for a girl.

His face was perfectly sculpted with smooth, refined skin. While he had inherited Lu Changsheng’s good looks, his appearance was more androgynous. The shape of his eyes mirrored those of his mother, Nangong Mili, possessing a hint of captivating charm.

With a bit of makeup, those upturned eyes would have been the image of Nangong Mili—frigid yet alluring. Fortunately, his slightly arched eyebrows and the golden glow of his pupils provided a heroic edge, preventing his fox-like beauty from becoming too feminine.

Lu Changsheng had previously heard that the boy inherited traits of his Chaos Body, so he had expected someone as imposing as Lu Lingxiao. He hadn't expected this...

"Mother."

Noticing his mother's arrival, Nangong Minghuang stopped his training immediately. He wiped away his perspiration and bowed before shifting his attention to Lu Changsheng.

Because his Cultivation was still at a low level, he couldn't instinctively feel the bloodline pull coming from Lu Changsheng. However, based on what his mother had told him in the past and the current intimacy between the two, he had a strong suspicion.

Before Nangong Mili could say anything, Lu Changsheng walked forward. He stared into the boy's golden eyes and said, "Minghuang, your father has come to see you."

"Father..."

Despite his suspicions, Nangong Minghuang was stunned to hear the words. He stood there dazed, looking back and forth between Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili.

"No need to doubt."

The corners of Lu Changsheng’s mouth turned up. He stopped suppressing his Qi Mechanism and let it flow. As the Chaos Body Qi Mechanism was released, golden runes manifested within his pupils. His eyes turned golden, creating a powerful resonance with Lu Minghuang’s own bloodline.

"Father..."

Nangong Minghuang’s frame shook. His mouth hung open slightly as he stared at Lu Changsheng, feeling a profound sense of familiarity rising from the depths of his soul.

While mortal children separated from parents might rarely feel such a connection, Cultivators were different. This was especially true for Lu Changsheng and Lu Minghuang; the son had not only inherited the bloodline but also the effects of the father's spiritual body, bonding them in bone and spirit.

This was the reason why the Great Families of the Cultivation world valued bloodlines so highly. Between Cultivators, the resonance of the bloodline is a tangible bond that pierces the soul.

"I had matters to attend to in your early years and couldn't be here to watch you grow. Do not worry; from this day forward, I will do everything I can to make it up to you."

Lu Changsheng stepped closer and gently reached out.

Years ago, it had taken much effort to convince Nangong Mili to have a second child. Yet, he had departed shortly after she conceived, and more than a decade had passed since he had seen his son.

"Father..."

Feeling the bloodline resonance, Nangong Minghuang instinctively reached out his own hand, though he first glanced at his mother for permission. Nangong Mili had raised him with much more discipline than she had shown Nangong Yaoyao.

"Minghuang, this is indeed your father..."

Nangong Mili spoke softly as she stepped forward. She took her son's hand and placed it firmly into Lu Changsheng’s palm.

The hands of the father and son finally met!

"Hahaha! Good son, come tell your father everything about your life these past years."

Lu Changsheng let out a boisterous laugh. With Nangong Mili and Lu Minghuang by his side, he walked confidently into the main hall.

Very quickly, the hall—which many usually feared to enter—was filled with a rare, warm atmosphere.

After they had talked for some time, Lu Changsheng asked about the boy's White Jade Cicada. Nangong Mili often kept the creature sealed because she found its noise irritating.

"It doesn't just have the Dragon Roar Physique and the evil-cleansing properties of the White Snake bloodline. It also carries a portion of my Yin Yang Magic Power Qi Mechanism, allowing it to balance Yin and Yang to strengthen the body."

Lu Changsheng immediately identified the true utility of the White Jade Cicada.
