Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 78 - 68: Home with Twin Beauties_i

“Thankfully, the storage bag is still here!”

After gathering half of Luo Lie’s body and eliminating the key members of the Luo Family, Xu Mu slapped an escape talisman on his body and chased after the direction where Luo Lie’s upper half fled.

With his powerful spiritual perception, he finally caught up with Luo Lie’s fragment after chasing for hundreds of miles.

However, he was now reduced to a sloppy mess.

Several beasts were feasting at the side!

Obviously, with only half a body left and without his storage bag, he had no ability to fly. After the escape light disappeared, he just fell from the sky.

“What an unlucky guy!”

Xu Mu sighed and took out several dozen Soul Expelling Talismans.

This is a tier-three talisman specifically used to annihilate soul bodies.

As the talisman burned, an invisible wave of spirit spread rapidly in all directions.

“Ah! Bastard!

The soul of a one-horned blue serpent emerged from a large tree nearby, hissing ferociously with a human voice.

It stared at Xu Mu, its blue vertical pupils filled with resentment.

“Since I’ve acted, of course, I would have thoroughly investigated! Your Luo Family’s Lu Ling Jue greatly enhances soul bodies; even merging with your own lifebound beast’s soul would allow you to survive for a long time!”

Xu Mu once again took out several dozen Soul Expelling Talismans, lightly laughed and said, “I certainly wouldn’t leave such a hidden danger. If you want to blame something, blame your own greed for staying next to your own corpse and not wanting to leave!”

Of course, Luo Lie couldn’t be entirely blamed!

Now that he is only a soul, it is very difficult for him to exist for long without nourishing from a physical body.

He originally thought the other party wouldn’t chase him, but he didn’t expect the other party to be so cautious – not only did they chase him but also brought so many Soul Expelling Talismans.

They were clearly prepared!

“Who are you really? What grudge does my Luo Family bear to warrant such extermination?”

Luo Lie roared angrily.

“If you’re talking about grudges, it’s not a significant one; mainly it’s because your grandson’s henchman extorted ten Lower-grade Spirit Stones from me!”

That’s right, the whole thing started with ten Lower-grade Spirit Stones.

If it weren’t for Jia An who blackmailed him for ten Lower-grade Spirit Stones in the name of Luo Xu and aroused his killing intent, maybe nothing would have happened.

“Ten Lower-grade Spirit Stones?!”

Luo Lie received no response. Under the effect of the Soul Expelling Talisman, his soul body was melting away like the spring snow.

Without a body, the soul is just a floating rootless duckweed.

His animal soul had been shattered several times and was already extremely weak.

So his soul didn’t last long; filled with deep resentment and unwillingness, it completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

Xu Mu then burned Luo Lie’s body into ash, scattering it across the snowy sky.

[Achievement Acquired: Home of the Twin Beauties!]

[Home of the Twin Beauties: Increase Luck Value by 20 points every day!]

[Luck Value: It can be used to improve skill proficiency, but it cannot directly improve cultivation!]

While riding on a Flying Boat to Liyang City, Xu Mu suddenly heard the System’s voice in his mind.

“Ying Ying has given birth! It’s a girl!”

A smile appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t be with his wife.

“I must make it up to Ying Ying when I get back!”

With an excited heart, Xu Mu arrived in Liyang City two days later and hurried home without delay.

Outside, snow was falling heavily; inside, the room was warm and cozy.

A small charcoal stove was placed in the center of the room, and the aromatic rice in the sand pot was spreading its fragrance.

Ye Yingying’s black hair fell loosely; she leaned against the head of the bed, her round cheeks slightly pale.

“Ying Er, I’ve put you through a lot!”

Xu Mu touched his wife’s cheek, a hint of shame in his eyes.

His absence at the birth of his child was indeed an oversight.

“For my husband, Ying Er is willing to do anything. The only thing is—,” Ye Yingying revealed a trace of disappointment in her eyes: “I couldn’t give you a son!”

Xu Mu took Ye Yingying’s hand and laughed: “Why do you blame yourself? I was hoping you could give me a hundred daughters!”

“Humph! I don’t want to, I want to give you a son!” Ye Yingying coquettishly said.

No matter how excellent a daughter is, she eventually has to get married. Only a boy can inherit the family business and make the family prosper.

Leng Yuening, who was standing at the door, watched the couple’s sweet exchanges and couldn’t help but feel a hint of jealousy in her clear eyes.

“I wonder if I will have a boy or a girl?”

She gently touched her swollen belly, musing silently to herself.

Lan Shijin had initially been staunchly against her falling pregnant, fearing it would interfere with her cultivation.

Cultivators progress fastest when they are young, and after a certain age, advancement becomes increasingly difficult.

Leng Yuening was only in her twenties – the golden period for improving cultivation. Having a child would not only delay her cultivation, but also deplete her vitality.

One wrong step can lead to a series of mistakes, potentially burying her hopes of establishing her foundation.

But Leng Yuening was adamant, and Lan Shijin was helpless.

Fortunately, Xu Mu was never stingy with his own wife. He always provided various pills and treasures to her, buying the best and most delicious things available.

Leng Yuening’s cultivation not only did not decline as expected, but instead improved significantly. She would probably break through the fifth layer of Qi cultivation soon, faster than Lan Shijin had anticipated.

This increased her fondness for Xu Mu, setting the precedent for their future teachings. To satisfy him and keep him from going to the Fireworks Land, she even allowed Xu Mu to have his way, despite the pain it caused her.

At that moment, Lan Shijin was sitting at the foot of the bed, cradling a newborn baby in her arms.

Looking at the couple, she felt a complex mix of envy and admiration.

Perhaps next time I could stay inside!

No, I can’t!

I can’t let Ning’er know, I can’t make another mistake!

Lan Shijin hastily quelled her absurd thought.

Let it remain a secret between the two of us forever!

“Aunt Lan, let me hold my sister!”

Little Ling’er, barefooted, stood on the white wolf’s head, clutching Lan Shijin’s arm and pleading with a pouting face.

“No!

Lan Shijin was firm.

“The baby is too small, what if you accidentally hurt her?”

“I will be very, very careful!”

Little Ling’er was not willing to give up and shook Lan Shijin’s arm vigorously.

On the other hand, Ye Yingying asked, “My husband, I’ve named our daughter Xu Yin. Is that okay?”

Ye Yingying was a little embarrassed.

She probably felt that she had overstepped by naming their daughter without consulting Xu Mu.

“Xu Yin? Xu Ling? Bell sound! Good! Good name!” Xu Mu laughed, “Ying Er, you’re so clever! I thought of many names, but none of them sound as pleasant as yours!”

He had thought of names like Xu Zhizui/Zhizui, Xu Shangqi/Qi, which can be used for both boys and girls, and although they sound pleasant, they are not as simple and catchy as this name.

It’s better to keep names simple!

Seeing Xu Mu wasn’t angry, Ye Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “As long as you like it! I was afraid you might not be satisfied!”

“Satisfied, how could I not be? As long as you’ve chosen the name, I’m satisfied!” Xu Mu laughed.

“No, I’m not happy!”

Little Ling’er shouted like a small tiger.

“You little girl, what’s not to satisfy?”

Xu Mu turned to Little Ling’er.

“My sister’s name sounds better than mine. I want to be called Xu Yin and let her be called Xu Ling!” Little Ling’er protested loudly.

“No, you were born first, so you’ll have to be called Xu Ling!”

Xu Mu teased her on purpose.

Little Ling’er rolled her big eyes and put on an unhappy face, pretending to be angry, “Even if I agreed to be called Xu Ling, you have to let me hold my sister for a while!”

Several people in the room could not help but laugh.

The way this little girl is scheming, she’s almost rivaling the urban politicians.

Time flew by and Xu Mu enjoyed several days of family bliss.

Early morning!

“Ning’er, it’s getting close!”

Xu Mu took a deep breath, but Leng Yuening didn’t want to raise her head.

Seeing Leng Yuening like this, he could only release her helplessly.

After resting for a while and letting Leng Yuening sleep, Xu Mu slapped two Purification Charms on his body, put on his robes, and went to the attic.

Outside the window was a thin fog, and the world was still in a dim state.

Xu Mu took out all the storage bags he had obtained from his trip to Cuiling, and began to inspect them one by one..
