Chapter 118: Keeping The Wealth Within Family!

Lu Miaohuan had just hugged Lu Changsheng for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.

She suddenly remembered that she was in Lu Changsheng’s home.

There were still so many people watching around her.

And these people were all Lu Changsheng’s wives.

She had actually initiated a hug in front of Lu Changsheng’s wives.

Even though Lu Miaohuan was usually bold and reckless, not caring about others’ opinions, her face still turned bright red at this moment, and she directly covered her face and ran away.

“Uh”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaohuan, who had hastily departed, and couldn’t help but pause.

He then slightly shook his head, smiled, and understood what had happened in his heart.

It should be that when he had gone to divert the calamity, it made this Second Miss think that he was in grave danger.

When she heard that he was alive and had returned, she saw him and became so excited.

“Sister Miaoge, I’ve worried you.”

At this time, Lu Changsheng looked towards a white-clad, slender, and elegant young lady not far away and smiled.

Since Lu Miaoge had followed Lu Miaohuan here, she must have known about the calamity and was worried about him.

“You’re fine, that’s all that matters.”

Lu Miaoge saw that Lu Changsheng was unharmed and was overjoyed in her heart.

However, even though she was delighted, she wouldn’t behave like her younger sister Lu Miaohuan, directly throwing herself at Lu Changsheng.

She only revealed a smiling face and spoke softly.

Her face, untainted by makeup, was like a morning dew-kissed flower, extremely beautiful.

Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, along with the other women, saw Lu Miaohuan hug her husband, cover her face, and leave.

Their husband then smiled and conversed with the young lady.

One was warm and gentle, like a spring breeze.

The other was elegant and refined, like a fairy.

It made them feel a sense of unspoken harmony.

“Since you’re fine, I’ll feel relieved. I’ll go take a look at Huanhuan.”

Lu Miaoge didn’t linger.

In this situation, with Lu Changsheng’s many wives present, it made her feel somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Especially in front of Lu Miaoyun, she had a sense of guilt and shame.

She usually didn’t dare to see Lu Miaoyun, and today was only because she was worried about Lu Changsheng, so she had taken the initiative to come.

“I’ll send you off, Sister Miaoge,”

Lu Changsheng said, quickly walking up to her.

Lu Miaoge initially wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but seeing Lu Changsheng already approaching, she lightly pursed her lips and didn’t speak.

“Sister Miaoge, have you recovered from your injury?” Lu Changsheng asked naturally.

Back then, under his treatment, Lu Miaoge’s life was stabilized, but her injuries were not light, and she still needed to recuperate. She had returned to rest and recover.

“I’ve almost fully recovered,” Lu Miaoge replied softly.

“That’s good,” Lu Changsheng nodded.

The two fell silent.

After walking out of the backyard and into the front yard, Lu Changsheng grasped Lu Miaoge’s hand, saying, “Sister Miaoge, I’ve missed you so much.”

Lu Miaoge’s hand was held by Lu Changsheng, and upon hearing these words, her body stiffened, and her heart trembled. She was also a bit shy, fearing that someone would see this scene.

“Sister Miaoge, did you miss me?”

Lu Changsheng asked, looking at Lu Miaoge’s ear roots, which had turned slightly red.

Lu Miaoge’s face turned bright red, and she hesitated for a moment before softly saying, “I also missed you.”

“I’ll go take a look at Huanhuan.”

She then struggled free from Lu Changsheng’s grasp and quickly departed, her expression somewhat flustered.

Looking at Lu Miaoge’s retreating figure, Lu Changsheng slightly shook his head, chuckled, and returned to the backyard.

As soon as he returned to the backyard, he saw Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other wives, all looking at him with curious and gossiping expressions.

“I encountered a small incident on my way back from Julong Market, which made the Second Miss think I was in trouble, so she was so excited when she found out I was back,”

Lu Changsheng explained to his wives, clearing his throat a few times.

“Oh, so that’s what happened,”

Qu Zhenzhen said, revealing a look of sudden understanding, but with a hint of playful laughter, clearly indicating she didn’t believe him.

“It’s okay, husband. Since we already have so many sisters at home, why not take Sister Miaoge and Sister Miaohuan as your wives too?”

Lu Miaoyun suggested, smiling lightly.

As the main wife, she had already become open-minded about Lu Changsheng taking in concubines.

Thinking about Lu Changsheng bringing women back home every day, it was better to take Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan as his wives.

It can be considered as keeping the wealth within the family.

Moreover, she knew that her husband wanted to have several Spirit Root children.

Both Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan were medium-grade Spirit Roots.

If they were to give birth to children, there was a high probability that they would give birth to medium-grade Spirit Root children in the future.

“What are you talking about?”

Although Lu Changsheng had this intention in his heart, he definitely couldn’t agree to it at this time.

“Husband, we’re telling the truth,”

Lu Miaoyun said with a playful tone.

“Yes, sister is right. Every time I see you with Sister Miaoge, I feel that you’re very compatible,”

Qu Zhenzhen chimed in.

“Great, you’re teasing your husband. It seems like you haven’t been punished by the family rules for a long time.”

Lu Changsheng said, feeling a warmth in his heart, thinking that his little wives were indeed considerate and understanding.

Just as he was about to discipline his wives, the Fourth Elder arrived.

“Grandmother.”

“Grandmother.”

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun both slightly adjusted their clothes and came out to greet her.

Qu Zhenzhen and the other women also followed, bowing and calling out “Grandmother.”

“Changseng, as long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters,” the Fourth Elder said, also having heard that Lu Changsheng had returned and coming to take a look.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was unharmed, she also felt relieved.

Lu Miaoyun and the other women were all here, and she didn’t ask Lu Changsheng about how he had escaped the pursuit.

She simply chatted with him briefly and went to take a look at her great-grandson.

On a mountain peak a thousand miles away from Julong Market…

“What’s going on? It’s been two days, and they still haven’t arrived.”

“Could it be that they encountered an accident, and the Lu Family is hiding a powerful expert?”

A black-clad man wearing a mask, with a somewhat disordered breath, muttered to himself.

Thinking that his three companions were only chasing after a few Lu Family juniors, it was impossible that they wouldn’t have arrived at the designated location after two days unless they had encountered an accident.

He waited until nightfall, but still didn’t see his companions, and the masked man no longer continued to wait.

He took out a set of disguise clothes from his storage bag.

Transforming into a sturdy, purple-robed man with a country-bumpkin face, he rode a flying magical weapon towards Julong Market.

The next day.

Patriarch Lu Yuanding and the others called Lu Changsheng over to ask about the situation.

Regarding his narrow escape from death, Lu Changsheng had long thought of an explanation.

He claimed that he had obtained a protective treasure at the Rouge Cultivator Market.

It was precisely by relying on this treasure that he was able to use the Hundred-Mile Invisibility Talisman to escape.

After listening to Lu Changsheng’s explanation, Lu Yuanding and the others, although somewhat astonished, didn’t ask too many questions.

After all, there was no need to pry into the details of this matter.

Because regardless of whether it was true or false, Lu Changsheng’s actions were all for the benefit of the Lu Family, and were worthy of praise.

“Changseng, you’ve earned great merit this time, and the family will reward you with 1,000 family contributions,” Lu Yuanding said.

“However, you can’t be so reckless in the future.”

Lu Yuanding looked at Lu Changsheng with a gaze that also held a hint of admiration.

Originally, in his impression, Lu Changsheng had always been a cautious and steady person.

But this time, he had displayed a sense of courage and determination, with a heroic aura.

It made him reevaluate his impression of Lu Changsheng.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration, thinking that he had brought back a good seedling from the Blue Cloud Sect.

“Thank you, Patriarch,” Lu Changsheng said, slightly bowing.

1,000 contributions were equivalent to 1,000 spirit stones.

Moreover, the contribution points could be used to purchase items within the Lu Family at a 70-80% discount compared to the outside world.

So this reward was not small.

“Changseng, as you know the current situation of the family, we’ll need to rely on you to create more Talismans in the future,” Lu Yuanding continued.

“Don’t worry, during this period, the Talismans you create will have a 10% higher contribution rate than before.”

Lu Changsheng slightly bowed again.

For someone with a second-grade Talisman technique, who could create Talismans with a 100% success rate, creating more Talismans was not a big deal.

“Alright, is there anything else you want to ask?” Lu Yuanding asked.

“Patriarch, how long will we need to stay gathered here? Is it possible to minimize going out during this period?” Lu Changsheng asked.

It had been a year since he had sent his wives and children, including Lu Lanshu and Lu Ping’an, to the secular world.

He hadn’t gone to visit them even once.

So Lu Changsheng was also thinking of going to the secular world to visit his wives and children.

Moreover, he had recently received a letter from Hong Yi, stating that Xia Chaoyang had a four-grade Spirit Root.

He had passed the Blue Cloud Sect’s examination and had successfully joined the Blue Cloud Sect.

At the same time, the cultivator who had killed Qu Zhenzhen’s entire family had also been investigated.

It was a Qi Refining fifth-stage cultivator.

Hong Yi and Li Feiyu had led people to capture him and were holding him in the Marquis Ru Yi’s mansion, waiting for Lu Changsheng to deal with him.

So Lu Changsheng was also planning to take Qu Zhenzhen to the secular world for a trip.

“This period of time will be around two to three months, or maybe a year,” Lu Yuanding said after a moment of contemplation.

“As for going out, if there’s no urgent matter, you can temporarily stay in Qingzhu Mountain and not go out.”

Lu Changsheng slightly nodded: “There’s no big deal, I just want to go see my children whom I sent to the secular world.”

“Since it’s not an urgent matter, you can just stay in Qingzhu Mountain for now,” Lu Yuanding said.

“Yes, Patriarch,” Lu Changsheng nodded and didn’t ask further, bidding farewell and leaving.

He had a faint feeling that the Lu Family was gathering all its members back.

It wasn’t just because of the Chen Family’s attack.

It seemed like they were preparing for something big.

Otherwise, the ancestor of the Lu Family was about to die, so why did they call people back?

Fight with the Chen Family to the death?

At this time, shouldn’t the clansmen go their separate ways outside, lie dormant, and maintain their bloodline?

Lu Changsheng didn’t think too much about it and walked out of the main hall.

“After this matter is over, I can also talk to Lu Changsheng about Huanhuan’s affairs,”

Lu Yuanding thought to himself, looking at Lu Changsheng’s departing figure.

“I don’t know if Lu Changsheng will agree this time.”

Lu Yuanding sighed, thinking about his daughter.

He had seen her listless and lovesick appearance in the past few days.

He knew that his daughter had already fallen deeply in love with Lu Changsheng and wouldn’t marry anyone else.

She didn’t even mind Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines.

As for marrying his daughter to Lu Changsheng, he didn’t object.

After all, in his opinion, apart from having too many wives and children, Lu Changsheng’s conditions were all top-notch.

Marrying Lu Miaohuan to Lu Changsheng was also a good choice.

But the problem now was that his daughter was willing, but Lu Changsheng had to agree as well.

He couldn’t just go and beg Lu Changsheng, could he?

“Ah.”

Thinking about this, Lu Yuanding couldn’t help but sigh.

He felt like an old father who was worried to death.

“Lu Changsheng!”

Lu Changsheng had just walked out of the manor, not far away, when he heard a pleasant and moving voice.

He turned his head to look.

Immediately, he saw Second Miss Lu Miaohuan waving at him, walking quickly towards him.

Today, Second Miss was wearing a dark black gold-embroidered dress with a tight-fitting corset that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her look elegant and alluring.

The hem of her dress revealed a pair of slender, straight legs that were wrapped in thin black silk stockings, exuding a sense of sensuality.

Her feet were clad in a pair of high-heeled black shoes with intricate gold patterns.

This outfit was similar to the one Lu Changsheng had seen her wear the first time they met, but relatively more conservative, without revealing her fair and round shoulders or delicate collarbone.

“Second Miss,” Lu Changsheng said, looking at Lu Miaohuan.

“Lu Changsheng, this is your Talisman, we didn’t use it earlier,”

Lu Miaohuan said, holding a stack of Talismans in her hand, taking small steps towards him, her high heels clicking on the ground with a ‘tap-tap-tap’ sound, which seemed lighter and more agile than before.

“I’m sorry to trouble you to send it here specially, Second Miss.”

Lu Changsheng took a look and smiled.

“It’s no trouble,”

Lu Miaohuan replied, her cheeks flushing slightly as she shook her head.

Then she said softly, “Thank you again for earlier.”

“What’s there to thank?”

Lu Changsheng asked, looking at the originally proud and aloof Second Miss, who now blushed easily, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

He still preferred her proud and aloof demeanor.

“It’s about what happened when we returned,”

Lu Miaohuan said.

“Lu Changsheng, why did you get off the flying boat? Didn’t you know it was dangerous, weren’t you afraid of dying?”

Lu Miaohuan asked.

“I knew, I was afraid,”

Lu Changsheng replied casually.

“Since you were afraid, why did you still do it? It was so dangerous,” Lu Miaohuan continued to ask.

Although Lu Changsheng was fine now, she still felt a lingering fear when thinking about the situation back then.

She didn’t know how Lu Changsheng had managed to escape alive.

“At that time, I had to distract someone, otherwise, we would all be in danger,” Lu Changsheng explained.

“I felt that I was the most suitable person to do so, so I stepped forward. If I didn’t, we would have been delayed, and what if Second Miss encountered danger?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Second Miss’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh.

Lu Miaohuan saw the teasing smile on his face and the playful tone in his voice, and she knew he was intentionally trying to provoke her.

But deep down, she felt that Lu Changsheng was using a playful tone to speak the truth.

“If the Second Miss feels grateful, you can give me a hug like yesterday to show your appreciation,”

Lu Changsheng said, looking at Lu Miaohuan with a hint of a smile.

“Hmph, you’re dreaming!”

Lu Miaohuan replied, thinking of her embarrassing behavior yesterday, and she turned to leave with a light huff.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and walked towards Lu Changsheng, giving him a hug.

“Is this enough?”

Lu Changsheng, who was about to say something, was taken aback and froze for a moment.

Because he saw Patriarch Lu Yuanding walking out just in time.

“Hmm?”

Lu Miaohuan asked, seeing Lu Changsheng not responding.

She also turned her head and immediately saw her father.

She felt a surge of embarrassment.

She didn’t expect her father to see her hugging Lu Changsheng, and she quickly let go, lowering her head in shame.

“It seems my previous worries were unnecessary,”

Lu Yuanding said, shaking his head slightly, pretending not to have seen anything, and turned back to leave.

He didn’t expect his daughter’s relationship with Lu Changsheng to have reached this point.

At the same time, he felt that Lu Changsheng wasn’t as simple as he seemed on the surface.

“It’s all your fault!”

Lu Miaohuan said, looking at her father’s pretentious expression, and scolded Lu Changsheng.

She didn’t dare to say anything more to Lu Changsheng and quickly returned home.
