Chapter 576 - 260: Cultivation Technique Deduction, Gaining Two More Children, The Elder Grows Old (Part 3)

"Ningning!"

Yu Qingru’s eyes carried a hint of warning.

Obviously.

She was still somewhat worried that Fu Changsheng might look down on Ningning for being dazzled by wealth.

Seeing this, Fu Changsheng smiled and reassured:

"Since Ningning has already passed the age of maturity, she is considered an adult. It’s just a Tier Two Spiritual Object, no need to be so tense."

"Exactly."

Ningning beamed with a smile.

She stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Fu Changsheng.

Playfully she said:

"Mom, elder brother, rest assured, I’m not foolish. The Water Spirit Pearl will certainly not be shown in front of others; I understand the simple logic of ’a treasured item invites trouble.’

"You little girl."

Yu Qingru indulged her with a smile, saying nothing more.

Fu Changsheng tapped on his storage bag, and with a flash of light, a box floated over to An’an:

"An’an, this Spirit Rhinoceros Armor is for you."

The Spirit Rhinoceros Armor is a Tier Two High-Grade Protective Spiritual Artifact, as valuable as the Water Spirit Pearl — such an expensive gift.

An’an instinctively glanced at Yu Qingru.

Yu Qingru nodded slightly.

Unlike Ningning, who stayed in the inner courtyard, An’an had to deal with various people in the territory. With this item, his safety would be much better assured.

As the next Patriarch of the territory.

He needed a few trump cards.

Seeing this, An’an first performed a respectful bow:

"Thank you, Father, for the gift."

He then received it with both hands.

Looking at An’an.

Fu Changsheng seemed to see the shadow of Brother Fan, mature from a young age, though An’an was still much more tender compared to Brother Fan.

At the family feast.

When Ningning served the charred Fire Cloud Chicken Noodles, her face was somewhat stiff despite the smile.

Yet she still moved her chopsticks symbolically:

"Hmm... Ningning’s cooking is not bad, at least the essence of the ingredients hasn’t been lost."

"Father, then eat more, there’s still several bowls in the pot."

Yu Qingru smiled, covering her mouth.

Seeing Fu Changsheng’s dilemma, she stood up and said:

"Your father and I have important matters to discuss, you eat by yourselves."

Hearing this, Fu Changsheng was instantly relieved, almost escaping with Yu Qingru from the dining table.

On the other side.

An’an also quickly rose from the table.

On the dining table.

Were five large plates of Fire Cloud Chicken Noodles.

One of them was naturally for the Wood Flying Squirrel.

Ningning saw the Wood Flying Squirrel’s aggrieved expression and cleared her throat: "Mumu, do you also think sister’s Fire Cloud Chicken Noodles are bad?"

"Squeak squeak squeak."

The Wood Flying Squirrel quickly shook its head.

Tearfully, it gulped down all the Fire Cloud Chicken Noodles from the table and those left in the pot.

...

On the other side.

Fu Changsheng and Yu Qingru reached the main room in the backyard. After not seeing each other for years, when the lights went out, it was like dry wood meeting a blazing fire.

Passion erupted.

By the time dawn broke.

Fu Changsheng finally let Yu Qingru be.

At the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

"Ding"

"After dual cultivation with Yu Qingru, she is once again pregnant with twins, earning 200 clan contribution points."

Soon after.

The clan contribution points on the panel instantly changed to 2,200.

Fu Changsheng instinctively looked at Yu Qingru’s belly — twins again; it was unexpected for him.

It’s said that the higher a cultivator’s cultivation is, the harder it becomes to have offspring in the future, yet it apparently also depends on personal constitution.

Leaning lazily against Fu Changsheng’s chest, Yu Qingru began to talk about their children:

"Changsheng, I’m not worried about An’an; he’s mature. But Ningning, this child, she seems cheerful around us but has disliked interacting with others since she was young. She hasn’t had a playmate since childhood. However, this child seems to have a natural affinity for spirit beasts."

"You see that Wood Flying Squirrel of hers was lured back by her without a Spirit Beast Contract, and yet the Wood Flying Squirrel refuses to leave her, loving to stick together."

"Our clan doesn’t have ancient books or secret techniques on Beast Taming."

"Changsheng, do you think you could conveniently take Ningning back with you this time so she can study Beast Taming Skills with her fourth aunt?"

Fu Changsheng, naturally, had no objection.

He was quite pleased.

Currently, it was only his fourth sister in the clan who had some talent in Beast Taming.

At this moment, a ray of sunrise fell on Yu Qingru’s face, making her look like a Saintess emerging from a bath, stirring Fu Changsheng’s heart:

"Qingru, you must be hungry..."

With that said.

He immediately closed in on her.

...

Several days later.

Upon learning that she had to leave Dragon Taming Mountain, Ningning reacted strongly, immediately locking herself in her room and refusing to come out.

As the elder brother.

An’an was also reluctant for his sister to leave.

After all, although they were fathered by the same parent, their mother had no formal status. When they arrived at the Fu Family, the clan members would probably criticize them.

His sister was also not good at dealing with people.

An’an hesitated and said:

"Mother, if sister doesn’t want to leave, perhaps we shouldn’t force her."

But Yu Qingru shook her head firmly.

Ningning only had Three Spiritual Roots, and her cultivation talent was low. Without skills to rely on, where would her cultivation resources come from in the future?

In the future, when An’an succeeded as Patriarch, he would marry and have children, and wouldn’t be able to take care of Ningning in every matter. Moreover, if Ningning wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, she’d certainly have to fend for herself:

"Ningning, open the door first."

Though anxious, Yu Qingru did not get angry, gently persuading her while turning to An’an:

"An’an, go accompany your father, and remember, don’t mention anything about your sister to him."

"Yes."

An’an worriedly glanced at his sister’s door, left the backyard, and accompanied Fu Changsheng in the Main Hall.

However.

He was somewhat absent-minded.
