Chapter 94 - 77: Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay?!_1
There’s a saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
That night, after successive intense battles, there was much tossing and turning.
The passion of the process, sweet and lingering, was not for others to know.
Due to this trip home, I’d only be staying for three days.
So, during these three days, Lu Changsheng didn’t do much cultivation or talisman making, instead spending all his time with his wives and children.
In the meantime, Lu Changsheng also mentioned to Lu Miaoyun that he’d bought a maid while at Nine Dragons Market.
There was nothing to hide about such matters; his wives would eventually find out once Shao Yuyao became pregnant.
Lu Miaoyun, knowing her husband’s temperament all too well, didn’t mind too much and didn’t make much of it.
After all, when she agreed to marry Lu Changsheng, she was already mentally prepared for this aspect.
She simply showed concern, asking with full attention how Lu Changsheng’s life had been at Nine Dragons Market, and whether he had been well.
Warmed by his little wife’s concern, Lu Changsheng expressed that aside from missing his family, everything else was fine.
Latter, Lu Changsheng also went to visit the Fourth Elder and received guidance on talisman making.
During this, the Fourth Elder also showed concern and inquired about his adaptation to life in Nine Dragons Market.
Lu Changsheng naturally said there were no problems.
Then on the way back, he stopped by the Fifth Elder’s place and bought a batch of Spiritual Wine.
Thus, the three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were ready to start their journey back to Nine Dragons Market.
His twenty-fifth child was about to be born in the coming days.
But Lu Changsheng didn’t wait at home for the birth of the child before leaving.
This situation would arise again in the future, and he couldn’t always be by their side.
Everything has its first time.
On the journey back to Nine Dragons Market, Lu Changsheng’s Iron Feather Eagle was joined by a maid named Xiaoqing.
Taking Xiaoqing to Nine Dragons Market was partly because Lu Miaoyun had mentioned it earlier, asking him to bring Xiaoqing over.
Moreover, having babies couldn’t be halted, and Shao Yuyao alone was not enough by his side.
If not for the inconvenience of the Iron Feather Eagle carrying too many people, Lu Changsheng would have also liked to bring Guan Xin to Nine Dragons Market.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry, as it would be the same if he brought her over the next month.
Because he brought Xiaoqing, the journey took half a day longer than before.
Also, as Xiaoqing wasn’t protected by a Magical Robe, she consumed three of Lu Changsheng’s Wind-avoiding Talismans while traveling through the clouds on the Iron Feather Eagle.
If Lu Changsheng didn’t have an abundance of talismans and didn’t mind the cost, just those three talismans would’ve cost six Spirit Stones, which was a significant expense.
Upon entering the city, Lu Changsheng also got a long-term identity card for Xiaoqing.
He couldn’t help thinking to himself that bringing people to live in the marketplace also entailed quite an expense.
When he brought Xiaoqing back to the Lu Family compound, Lu Changsheng encountered Lu Miaohuan.
The latter huffed with disdain and scorn written all over her face.
This made Lu Changsheng somewhat displeased.
Now and then your occasional snorts are fine.
But do you have to huff with disdain every time we meet?
Despite being the dream of untold numbers of fairies in the future, I’m still so unwelcome?
Moreover, at the initial arranged meeting, although I was at fault, it was your excessive demands of not allowing a husband to take other wives or concubines that led me to refuse.
If not for that, with your face, your figure, your legs, and your Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, if you were even half as good-natured as Lu Miaoyun, I feel I might have agreed.
“Second Miss, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your health? Every time I see you, you’re frowning and huffing. If something really is wrong, you should get it checked out soon, or it might get worse.”
Lu Changsheng glanced at the Second Miss and said with a touch of annoyance.
After speaking, he took Xiaoqing back to his own courtyard.
Lu Miaohuan didn’t expect that after so long, not only did Lu Changsheng not apologize to her, but he also made sarcastic remarks, which left her feeling upset.
She said coldly, “I’m in perfectly good health. I just dislike you. Is that a problem?”
Her voice was still clear and beautiful.
Hearing the Second Miss speak so frankly and righteously, Lu Changsheng was momentarily at a loss for words.
Looking at Lu Miaohuan’s icy, indignant, yet still exquisite face, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but respond, “Then don’t look.”
“I will look if I want to. Do you think you can stop me?”
Lu Miaohuan’s face puffed up with anger, her delicate chin lifted, a picture of cold and noble beauty.
“I can’t stop you. If you insist on making yourself miserable, then by all means, continue feeling upset.”
Lu Changsheng said, shaking his head as he walked away.
“Lu Changsheng, you stop right there!”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s stance, the expression on Lu Miaohuan’s delicate face inflated like a pufferfish.
“You’re the one who has an issue with me; why are you telling me to stop? Do you want to make yourself suffer?”
Lu Changsheng paused mid-step and looked sideways.
“What kind of attitude is that!?”
Lu Miaohuan’s face turned frosty as her chest heaved with indignation.
“Alright, alright, okay, I was wrong, I’m wrong, happy now?”
Lu Changsheng’s face was full of insincerity, uttering words that could infuriate anyone.
“What do you mean by ‘I was wrong, happy now’!? It was clearly your fault! Is this how you apologize!?”
Lu Miaohuan became increasingly agitated upon seeing Lu Changsheng’s demeanor.
An inexplicable fury surged within her, making her feel extremely annoyed.
As Lu Changsheng observed her posture and temperament, he was reminded that the Second Miss was spoiled with a temperamental nature. Concepts such as interpersonal relations and social graces were non-existent in her.
Not wanting to argue or fight with her, he turned around, bowed slightly, and earnestly said, “Alright, it’s my fault. I sincerely apologize to Second Miss. Please forgive me.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s earnest apology, Lu Miaohuan’s puffed cheeks deflated, her lips pursed, and with a huff, she walked away with high heels clicking, the epitome of a cold and noble beauty.
