In her early years, she was free from concerns.
But ever since her daughter, Nangong Yaoyao, was born, she finally understood the meaning of attachment, the bond of bloodlines.
Therefore, she would never allow anyone to hurt her daughter.
Originally, she hesitated about whether to use the Love Gu on Lu Changsheng.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng trying to fight her for their daughter, her heart made a firm decision: she absolutely wouldnât let him influence or take away her daughter!
âThis is our daughter. Do you really want her to grow up without a father?â
Lu Changshengâs divine light flowed over his body, transcendent and ethereal, and he continued speaking.
âWu wu wu
Nangong Mili said nothing, her face icy, fully focused on playing the âSky Spider Melody,â causing the phantom of the Purple Sky Spider to grow more solid and immense.
She then slapped her Spiritual Pet Bag, summoning a purple sky spider into existence.
However, this spider was only at the middle stage of the Second Rank, with limited combat effectiveness. It still couldnât breach Lu Changshengâs Formless Treasure Wheel and Protective Divine Light.
âMili, this secret realm has already begun collapsing. If you continue to stall, it will be dangerous for you to leave later. Whatever you need to address, we can talk about it after we leave.â
Lu Changsheng noticed that the subject of their daughter was a deep taboo for Nangong Mili, so he calmly attempted to soothe her.
Such feelings seemed reasonable.
The other party had voluntarily chosen to give birth to Nangong Yaoyao years ago, clearly showing how much she cared for this daughter.
Now, decades later, her childâs father showing upâit was natural for her to react strongly.
Nonetheless, Nangong Mili remained silent, continuing to attack Lu Changsheng, sending out Spirit Snakes and Gu Insects one after the other. nĂžvel.com
But Lu Changsheng could only shake his head.
Inwardly, he thought Nangong Mili, this Devil Path True Person, truly had mediocre combat strength.
Even with her mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level, the spiritual beasts and Gu insects at her disposal were only at the Second Rank.
âWhoosh!â
At that moment, Nangong Mili suddenly summoned an item resembling a purple jade butterfly hairpin.
The hairpin appeared like a dream-like butterfly spreading its wings, beautiful and enchanting, then collided with Lu Changshengâs Protective Divine Light, causing slight damage.
âSizzle
A red Gu insect flew toward Lu Changsheng, radiating a crimson glow and breaking through his Protective Divine Light.
âHmm!?â
Lu Changshengâs heart subtly trembled, and the Peach Blossom Gu in his browâs Sea of Consciousness suddenly roared excitedly.
It seemed to signal to Lu Changsheng that if this Gu insect came closer, it could suppress it entirely.
âThis is... a Love Gu!â
Back in the day, Lu Changsheng had prepared for the possibility of Nangong Mili trying to use tricks of this nature. Hence, he had spent some time studying them.
But now, with his current strength, having awakened the Taiyi Divine Soul and wielding the Formless Treasure Wheel, this Gu insect would find it incredibly difficult to get close to him.
âWhoosh!â
Lu Changshengâs palm surged with Yin Yang energies as he suddenly grasped forward, suppressing the Gu insect and holding it in his hand.
Then, with deep, serene eyes and a tranquil expression, he regarded Nangong Miliâs exquisite and alluring face, speaking: âMili, itâs time to stop this nonsense.â
âGiven the circumstances, I donât have the luxury of indulging you further.â
Lu Changsheng held the Love Gu, his voice cold and indifferent.
He felt a sense of guilt toward Nangong Mili and her daughter, willing to tolerate her unruly behavior and allow her some emotional release.
But his tolerance had its limits;
he couldnât perpetually indulge her folly.
âFolly!?â
Upon realizing her strength couldnât suppress Lu Changsheng, Nangong Mili was already somewhat irritated.
Now, hearing these condescending and callous words from Lu Changsheng, a mix of anger and humiliation surged in her heart.
She had fought him with all her might, yet in his eyes, it amounted to nothing more than... folly.
Yet, for some inexplicable reason, as she observed Lu Changshengâs imposing and commanding demeanor, an indescribable feeling stirred deep within her.
âSuch Love Guâdonât use it again in the future. You might end up hurting yourself.â
Lu Changsheng said coldly, tossing the Love Gu back to Nangong Mili.
Now that the Peach Blossom Gu had advanced to the Third Rank, it no longer required the Love Gu to bite him. It could directly overpower and take control instead.
Yet Nangong Mili was already the mother of his child, so he disdained using such tactics just to make her submit to him.
After all, the true essence and charm of Nangong Mili lay in her untamed spirit.
If she were forced to submit through the effect of a Love Guâwould that still be the real Nangong Mili?
âYou...â
Nangong Mili caught the Love Gu, her coldly captivating yet seductive features displaying anger, frustration, and a trace of complex emotions.
Moments ago, the Love Gu had conveyed a message, revealing that within Lu Changshengâs body lay an immensely powerful Gu insectâs aura.
If it bit him, it could trigger the insectâs backlash.
As a Core Formation cultivator from the Five Poisons Cult, she naturally understood what this meant.
Realizing her disciple Meng Xiaochan might have encountered such backlash years ago, thus falling victim to the Lockheart Gu.
Yet Lu Changsheng clearly wielded the means to suppress her, and still, he chose to let her go...
Nangong Mili gazed at the flawlessly graceful, transcendent Lu Changsheng before her. She thought of how, in earlier years, he had been merely a Foundation Establishment cultivatorâsomeone she once dismissed without a second thought. And now, within just a few decades, he had risen to such incredible heights, filling her with frustration and unyielding bitterness...
âEnough. Letâs head back. Whatever needs to be addressed, weâll do so after we leave.â
Lu Changsheng glanced at the cracks spreading across the Sky Dome, softly addressing Nangong Mili, his tone slightly gentler.
Nangong Miliâs face flickered with indecision before she abruptly turned into a Divine Rainbow and shot out.
She knew full well she was not a match for Lu Changsheng and couldnât suppress him.
But to submit to Lu Changsheng right nowâshe absolutely refused!
âHmm!?â
Lu Changshengâs brows furrowed slightly, his eyes revealing traces of cold irritation.
This woman truly refused to listen to reason.
If thatâs the case...
âYin Yang Qi Grasp!â
The Formless Treasure Wheel behind Lu Changshengâs head shone brilliantly, spinning furiously. His Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone surged with power, causing his cultivation base aura to soar, and his mana roared as forceful as a raging river.
In an instant, an exquisitely profound energy of Yin Yang Qi erupted like a dragon unleashed, sweeping toward Nangong Mili.
