Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1756: 447: Master and Disciple’s Journey, Lu Qingshan’s Combat Strength (Two - s Combined)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
A ten-day journey concluded.
Lu Changsheng, Nangong Mili, and their young son Lu Minghuang arrived at the gates of Great Dream Immortal City.
Through their recent travels, Nangong Mili had discovered that Lu Changsheng held the position of the newly appointed City Lord of this vast Immortal City.
While the news was unexpected, it failed to match the sheer shock of the events involving her own Sect Hierarch.
Inside the City Lord Mansion, Ling Zixiao greeted Lu Changsheng’s return with an elegant smile, saying, "My Lord, you are back."
Her gaze then shifted toward the disguised Nangong Mili and the boy, as she quietly observed, "Is this the Nangong True Man and Minghuang?"
Despite having secretly witnessed the intimate encounters between Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili in the past, she had never held a high opinion of this True Man from the Demonic Path.
She had even considered Meng Xiaochan to be somewhat unremarkable initially.
It was only after Meng Xiaochan moved to Great Dream Immortal City and they spent time together that Ling Zixiao’s perspective began to soften.
"Indeed, this is Mili, Little Chan’s Master. You encountered her once before," Lu Changsheng replied with a smile as he stepped forward, fully aware of Ling Zixiao’s lingering reservations regarding Nangong Mili.
In truth, Ling Zixiao possessed an innate pride. Given how haughtily Nangong Mili had carried herself during their first meeting, it was natural that there was no love lost between them.
Furthermore, Ling Zixiao felt a deep-seated aversion toward such Demonic Path Cultivators hailing from the Jin Kingdom.
"It so happens that Little Chan brought Meng’er back; they are currently within the Immortal City."
Regardless of her personal feelings, Ling Zixiao maintained her composed and dignified air, as her husband had brought these guests home and the woman was, after all, Meng Xiaochan’s Master.
"Very well."
Lu Changsheng wasted no time in summoning Meng Xiaochan.
"Lu Lang! Master!"
Upon seeing Nangong Mili standing beside Lu Changsheng, Meng Xiaochan was overcome with a wave of excitement and pure joy.
Outside of Lu Changsheng, Nangong Mili was the person she cherished most, serving as both a mentor and a maternal figure throughout her life.
"Little Chan."
The sight of Meng Xiaochan caused Nangong Mili’s usually cold expression to melt into a smile as she discarded her disguise.
Even though Ling Zixiao had seen her before, she was momentarily stunned by Nangong Mili’s true appearance, thinking to herself, "A real vixen!"
While Bai Ling possessed a certain captivating beauty, she seemed almost plain when compared to the natural, sultry allure that radiated from Nangong Mili.
"Is this child Minghuang?"
Meng Xiaochan observed the handsome young boy with a mixture of tenderness and concern.
"Minghuang, come greet your Aunt Little Chan."
Knowing that Nangong Mili still felt uncomfortable regarding the complicated generational ties with Meng Xiaochan, Lu Changsheng took the lead in the introduction.
"..."
Lu Minghuang was inexperienced and had only recently departed the Five Poisons Cult, but he was well-read thanks to Nangong Mili’s tutelage.
Since reuniting with his father, he felt as though he was meeting a new elder at every turn, which left him feeling quite dazed.
"Greetings, Aunt Little Chan."
Nevertheless, he remained polite and offered a respectful greeting.
Meng Xiaochan immediately felt a connection to the boy, who shared features with her husband, her master, and even Nangong Yaoyao. She quickly called for her own daughter, Lu Mengchan, to introduce the two children.
"Brother? Are you sure he isn't a sister?"
Lu Mengchan stared at the boy, whose features were as delicate as a young girl's, and spoke with hesitation.
While she had some younger siblings back at Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Changsheng had not fathered many children in recent years, meaning her social circle consisted mostly of older siblings. Seeing Lu Minghuang, she had hoped for a sister and felt a bit disappointed.
"..."
A heavy silence fell over the room.
Meng Xiaochan quickly corrected her daughter, explaining that this was her brother and that she, as the elder sister, was responsible for looking after him.
As Lu Mengchan led Lu Minghuang away to play, Lu Baixi watched the refined young boy with a fond expression.
For one, Lu Minghuang appeared to be roughly her own age.
Furthermore, his handsome appearance and soothing aura made her feel at ease, a sharp contrast to the energy of Lu Mengchan.
With the children occupied, Lu Changsheng engaged in light conversation with Ling Zixiao and the others, eventually presenting Meng Xiaochan with several Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he had taken from the Five Poisons Cult.
Before his departure, he had secured a massive haul of Poison Dao materials from the Cult’s stores.
While it might not be enough for Meng Xiaochan’s long-term needs, it was more than sufficient to support Lu Mengchan’s Cultivation until she reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment.
"This is so much!"
Peering into the Storage Bag, Meng Xiaochan gasped. She looked at Lu Changsheng with eyes brimming with devotion and deep admiration.
Her husband had already provided the "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture" to fix their daughter’s Spiritual Body complications.
Now, this single trip had secured the resources for her daughter’s early growth, meaning she would no longer need to make frequent, dangerous trips to Azure Phoenix Immortal City.
"Yes, I paid a visit to the Five Poisons Cult. You are free to return there whenever you wish, and we can perhaps utilize the Cult to gather more materials in the future," Lu Changsheng said, smiling warmly.
Acquiring poisonous spiritual herbs in Jiang Country was far more difficult than obtaining them through the Five Poisons Cult.
With the Cult acting as a resource hub, he was confident that his daughter would have everything she needed from Core Formation all the way to the Nascent Soul stage. They would only need to worry about finding an Infant Transformation Elixir and specific Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects when the time for her breakthrough arrived.
"Oh, Little Chan, I have this for you as well."
Lu Changsheng then produced her Soul Lamp and handed it over, causing her to catch her breath in surprise.
She knew well that a Soul Lamp was a vital sect token that could not be easily retrieved—not even her master, Nangong Mili, had the authority to take it.
"Hehe."
Seeing the overwhelming affection in Meng Xiaochan’s eyes, Lu Changsheng laughed softly and brushed his hand through her silky black hair.
Nearby, Ling Zixiao watched with a strange expression. She wondered if Lu Changsheng had struck some secret bargain with the Five Poisons Cult. He had not only returned with Nangong Mili but had also looted their treasures and recovered Meng Xiaochan’s Soul Lamp.
Could it be possible that...
Reflecting on her husband’s history with women, she suspected she knew exactly what had happened.
However, the Leader of the Five Poisons Cult was a powerful Nascent Soul True Lord.
Moreover, rumors suggested the Cult Leader had the appearance of a child of only seven or eight years old...
While her husband was rarely picky in his pursuits, this seemed a bit extreme, even for him...
