Chapter 56: My Demon Path Big Uncle!_1
This day.
Lu Changsheng received a letter.
It was from Hong Yi, who wrote that someone he had sent out had learned of a piece of news in Zhoushan Mansion.
A strange man had appeared in the Qu Family courtyard.
According to his investigation, there was a high probability that this man was Qu Changge.
Because someone there recognized Qu Changge’s appearance.
And this strange man appeared within the Qu Family, asking people about what had happened there.
So putting all these circumstances together, it was almost certain that this man was Qu Changge.
But for some reason, whereas Qu Changge was once known for his refined and handsome scholar appearance,
he had now transformed into something demonic and ominous, his eyes an extremely blood-red, like a monster’s.
In the letter, Hong Yi said that after Qu Changge appeared, he disappeared without a trace, with no further news.
He suspected that Qu Changge had also started on the path of cultivation, but it was of the Demon Path, and warned Lu Changsheng to be careful.
“Demon Path.”
After finishing the letter, Lu Changsheng’s eyes slightly narrowed.
About what he knew, the Cultivation World of Jiang Country revered the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The major Immortal Sects, Immortal Cities, and cultivating clans, were all seemingly righteous forces on the surface.
Not one of them was from the Demonic Sects.
Thus in Jiang Country, there was no fertile ground for the existence of Demonic Path Cultivators.
On the rare occasion there were some Demon Cultivators, they were often Loose Cultivators who had obtained a demonic inheritance.
Lu Changsheng never expected that his newfound uncle would take up the Demon Path.
“I wonder if this big uncle will come looking for Qingzhu Mountain.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He certainly wasn’t worried about this big uncle of his finding Qingzhu Mountain.
After all, a clear conscience fears no midnight knocking.
Not only had he saved Qu Zhenzhen, but their affection for each other was mutual.
Could it be that this big uncle would come to cause him trouble?
Even if Qu Changge did not understand the true situation and came to bother him, he would still need the ability to find him.
In Lu Changsheng’s view, since Qu Zhenzhen had an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, even if her brother had a Spiritual Root, it likely wouldn’t be much better.
Moreover, in Jiang Country, Demon Cultivators were akin to rats crossing the street, despised and pursued by everyone.
Under these circumstances, how could he possibly come to Qingzhu Mountain to trouble him?
“Sigh, it seems my big uncle is also a tragic figure.”
“Entering the path of cultivation, yet choosing the Demon Path, only to come home and learn of his family’s destruction.”
Lu Changsheng heaved a sigh and shook his head.
He had a rather good impression of this big uncle of his, whom he had never met.
Because over the past year and more, Qu Zhenzhen had told him many things from their childhood.
Among these, she often mentioned this inexpensive big uncle.
According to Qu Zhenzhen, her brother, though always studying and not one to smile or speak much, preferring to preach lofty principles, was not a rigid person.
He was very affectionate towards his little sister and often helped her clean up her messes, even hiding them from their parents when she made mistakes.
“I won’t tell Zhenzhen about this for now, so she doesn’t worry.”
“If I have the capacity to help in the future, I might indeed lend a hand to this big uncle, of course, that is if he’s still alive.”
“As for now, forget about it.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and let it out long, not dwelling further on this matter.
At present, he was merely a weak Qi Refinement Third Level cultivator, barely surviving in Qingzhu Mountain.
This big uncle of his, he couldn’t really help at the moment, nor did he want to trouble himself with caring.
He then replied to Hong Yi with a letter, telling him not to inquire into Qu Changge’s whereabouts anymore.
Otherwise, if they got involved with a Demon Cultivator, it would be another hassle.
That night.
Afterwards.
Qu Zhenzhen’s cheeks were scarlet, her face flushed, her eyes dazed with enchantment as she slowly came back to her senses.
She punched Lu Changsheng with her small fist and scolded, “You’re terrible, forget about the three of us attending to you again, you only know how to bully people.”
Lu Miaoyun, on the other hand, was embarrassed like an ostrich tucking into its blanket, while Xiao Qing, though somewhat shy, was relatively more composed and continued to attend to Lu Changsheng.
“Heh, isn’t it rare though? Look, your Yun’er isn’t saying anything,” Lu Changsheng chuckled.
“Husband, please, no more, it’s so embarrassing!”
Lu Miaoyun buried her head in the blanket, her voice muffled and breathy.
Half a month later.
“Husband, I’ve completed drawing breath into the body and have become a Cultivator!”
This day, Qu Zhenzhen, with a gold hairpin and pendent on her head, and dressed in a pink and white skirt, approached Lu Changsheng with a face full of joy and excitement to report the good news.
After spending more than a year in Qingzhu Mountain, the baby fat on her face had faded, her na?ve charm had retreated, and her tender figure had become much more alluring.
On her pure and lovely face, a few traces of the charm of a wife and a mother have emerged.
“My Zhenzhen has broken through to Qi Refinement First Level!?”
Upon hearing this news, Lu Changsheng was very happy.
Since his wives possessed Spiritual Roots, he naturally hoped that they would all embark on the path of cultivation and accompany him for a bit longer.
Leaving aside the future possibilities of becoming his supporters, at the very least, cultivation would benefit their health in many ways.
The reason Qu Zhenzhen had only now broken through to the first level of Qi Refinement was that pregnancy, nurturing, and body recovery had delayed her cultivation.
Otherwise, in Qingzhu Valley, with access to a Second Grade Spiritual Vein and even without cultivation resources, she would have already achieved this breakthrough long ago.
Looking at the little wife in front of him, whose every frown and smile was captivating, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but pull her into his arms and said, “To celebrate my Zhenzhen becoming a cultivator, let your husband reward you handsomely.”
Even though she was already a mother, Qu Zhenzhen’s shy nature had not changed.
Upon hearing these words, she immediately blushed deeply, her heart filled with embarrassment.
Before she could say anything, she felt a warm kiss on her lips, followed by her body growing a bit weak.
After a while, Qu Zhenzhen’s voice became urgent, and she gasped, “Husband, let’s… let’s return to the bedroom….”
“It’s fine, we’re at home, and there’s no one around.”
Lu Changsheng spoke softly.
Soon after, accompanied by Qu Zhenzhen’s coquettish ‘stammering’ and ‘rustling’ sounds, the small courtyard in the midst of autumn gained a touch of spring.
In the following days, Lu Changsheng devoted most of his energy to Qu Zhenzhen.
Since Qu Zhenzhen had made a breakthrough to the first level of Qi Refinement, and given that it had been six months since her last delivery, he naturally needed to take good care of her and start working towards the second child.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month arrived.
Every month’s end was the day the Fourth Elder would hold a lecture on Talisman Making.
That day, after getting up and finishing his breakfast, Lu Changsheng went to the Fourth Elder’s residence.
Since he had visited once before, he didn’t need someone to guide the way.
Lu Changsheng confidently made his way through the corridors to reach a quiet courtyard.
The courtyard walls were lined with green and jade-like Qing Ling bamboo.
In the center was a small pavilion with five tables and chairs placed nearby.
Currently, next to the pavilion, a stunning figure stood tall and straight.
Her face was lovely, her eyes clear as water, dressed in a white skirt simple and elegant.
Her lustrous black hair cascaded down her back, hanging softly to the waist of her snowy dress, in a striking contrast of black and white.
Adorning only the simple white dress and shoes, her graceful figure and elegant bearing exuded a unique allure, carrying a breath of ethereal otherworldliness.
The gentle breeze blew, and strands of sunlight fell upon her, illuminating her white dress.
It bathed her in a layer of sacred golden radiance, making her appear all the more divine and noble.
Seeing Lu Miaoge standing as if she had stepped out from a painting, Lu Changsheng could not help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Perhaps it was because since the awakening of his memories, the first ‘fairy’ he encountered in the cultivation realm was Lu Miaoge, giving him a special sentiment towards her in his heart.
Previously, upon seeing Lu Miaoge, due to the disparity in their statuses, Lu Changsheng harbored thoughts but didn’t feel much.
Now, with the confidence given by the system and the rise in status of the Lu Family, Lu Miaoge no longer seemed unattainable to him.
Thus, every time he saw Lu Miaoge, he couldn’t help but nurture thoughts he hadn’t entertained before.
Thoughts of conquering the celestial beauty, who seemed pure and unworldly, under his body to taste at will.
“Sigh, no wonder many people, once they have money and power, become morally corrupt.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head internally.
He had just recently married Lu Miaoyun, and now he was already harboring inappropriate thoughts toward his wife’s cousin.
“Eldest Miss.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on such thoughts. He greeted Lu Miaoge with a smile.
As a Talisman Master of the Lu Family, Lu Miaoge would come to study Talisman Making with the Fourth Elder on this day every month.
As for the other Lu Family disciples who were learning Talisman Making, because they were apprentices, the Fourth Elder divided the lessons into two groups.
The morning was for Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng, and the afternoon was for the other Lu Family disciples.
“Lu Changsheng.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge greeted him with a light smile.
Her smile was faint, as delicate as a snow lotus blooming on the mountain, quickly concealing her mirth to return to her previous serene and ethereal demeanor.
This made Lu Changsheng silently think to himself that the two sisters were quite similar in this respect.
Neither of them liked to smile much, but when they did, it was very beautiful.
He didn’t go over to chat or anything; even if he harbored thoughts about Lu Miaoge, it wasn’t as if he could just go up and pursue her.
One reason was that his current status was not suitable for pursuing her, and besides, one doesn’t chase after a girl, one attracts her.
Lu Changsheng sat down at a table and chair on the side, waiting for the Fourth Elder to arrive.
