Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 538: Chapter 214: Golden Core Charm, Departure!_2

Lu Changsheng was astonished by the terrifying strength of Nangong Mili.

One must know, her injuries have not yet fully healed, and her power is far from recovered.

If it were her heyday, she probably wouldn’t need to lift a finger.

Just the imposing aura of her Core Formation would have been enough to suppress him.

“The difference in strength between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation is even greater than that between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment.”

“No wonder the effect of the Profound Origin Bead is enough to make a peak Qi Refinement cultivator comparable to Foundation Establishment, but it only makes a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator comparable to a False Core.”

...
“There is an insurmountable chasm between a False Elixir and a True Elixir!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, ignored this aura, and returned to sit and chat with Ling Zixiao at one side.

Ling Zixiao and Meng Xiaochan were already used to the dynamic between Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili.

After all, the two had been bickering non-stop for some time.

However, Ling Zixiao still felt quite upset by the situation.

She thought, “My lord performs dual cultivation to heal you, and you still put on such an attitude.”

Nascent Soul Immortal is really so great, huh?!

But since Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything, she couldn’t say much either.

Besides, Nangong Mili would not seriously hurt Lu Changsheng, but the same might not apply to her.

…

Time ticked by bit by bit.

These days, Nangong Mili was becoming increasingly anxious in her heart.

She felt she might truly have fallen for Lu Changsheng.

It wasn’t just that Lu Changsheng was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

Deep down, she actually wanted to draw closer to him.

When close to him, she felt a sense of peace and comfort like never before.

She thought if she could keep this up, it would be quite nice.

These inexplicable thoughts spread through her mind, making Nangong Mili extremely panicked.

“What’s going on?”

Nangong Mili couldn’t help but wonder if she had been affected by some Bewitching Technique or her Mental Spirit was influenced.

Or if Lu Changsheng had used some technique on her during their dual cultivation.

Otherwise, why would she feel like this?

She was very clear about her own character.

She was definitely not someone who fell for others so easily!

Even if she were to take a fancy to someone, it couldn’t possibly be like this!

Night fell.

This day, after the dual cultivation ended, Nangong Mili’s mind was full of chaotic thoughts, and her restless heart couldn’t calm down.

She felt she had been deeply affected by Lu Changsheng.

“No, I can’t go on like this!”

Nangong Mili took a deep breath, suppressing the complexity and turmoil of her emotions.

She looked towards Meng Xiaochan at one side.

She decided to take Meng Xiaochan and leave.

She felt she could no longer be with Lu Changsheng.

The inexplicable fondness and heart palpitations she felt towards Lu Changsheng filled her with immense fear.

She, Nangong Mili, even if she were to like a man, wouldn’t be so sentimental and lose herself for him!

“Xiao Chan, let’s go.”

Nangong Mili transmitted her voice to Meng Xiaochan.

“Ah, Master, where to?”

Meng Xiaochan opened her eyes wide in surprise upon hearing this.

“Now that your master has recovered, we can prepare to leave,” Nangong Mili declared.

Today, Lu Changsheng used the Yin Yang Energies to nurture her True Elixir.

Which had allowed her strength to recover by about three or four tenths.

Though she had only regained three or four tenths of her strength,

as long as she didn’t encounter someone like Yun Jianfeng, a Golden Core True Person, she still had a chance to escape.

So much time had passed, and Yun Jianfeng couldn’t possibly have stayed outside indefinitely.

Once back at the border, people from the Five Poisons Cult would surely come to her aid.

“This…”

Upon hearing these words, Meng Xiaochan’s teeth nibbled on her lips, her delicate face showing struggle.

During this time, she had already made up her mind.

She planned to stay by Lu Changsheng’s side for the rest of her life.

Otherwise, there was no way she could repay the immense favor Lu Changsheng had done in curing her master.

But now, her master was planning to take her away.

“What’s wrong?”

Nangong Mili saw Meng Xiaochan looking troubled and furrowed her brows.

“Master, unable to repay the kindness Lu Lang has shown, Xiao Chan had made up her mind to stay by his side; please grant this wish,” Meng Xiaochan said with her lips lightly bitten.

“What!!!”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Mili, seeing the state of her disciple, was filled with a surge of shock and anger, and even a hint of horror!

There’s a saying that no one knows a daughter better than her mother.

Having spent so many years together in a relationship akin to mother and daughter,

Nangong Mili knew her disciple’s personality very well.

Normally whimsical,

but at her core, she had the heart of the Demon Path, showing disdain for men.

Yet now, when she was planning to take her back, her disciple was expressing a desire to accompany Lu Changsheng.

What did this mean?

Abandoning the Great Dao?!

It should be known that though this mission had ended in failure, no blame could be placed on her and her disciple.

The main issue lay with the defeat of the Five Poisons Cult and the Heavenly Corpse Sect at the hands of Li Duanxuan.

As such, on the return trip, according to their contributions and merits, she could apply for the Heart-Eating Gu for Meng Xiaochan.

With the Heart-Eating Gu, Meng Xiaochan’s Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart Technique could reach great success.

There was hope for her Core Formation in the future!

But at this moment, Meng Xiaochan was giving up going back, ready to stay by Lu Changsheng’s side.

This left Nangong Mili feeling incredibly angry and horrified.

Thinking about her own inexplicable emotions and affection for Lu Changsheng,

and now seeing her disciple’s feelings for Lu Changsheng even stronger than her own, as if bewitched!

At this moment, Nangong Mili was almost certain something was wrong with her!

Her narrow and captivating eyes turned towards Lu Changsheng, a trace of murderous intent flickering within.

She pondered whether to kill Lu Changsheng to eliminate future troubles.

Considering how she felt at the moment and Meng Xiaochan’s state, it was truly making her panic.

But as soon as the thought arose, her heart started racing uncontrollably, the inner turmoil caused a faint pain, signaling she couldn’t do it.

Unbidden, memories of the past days—Lu Changsheng’s tenderness, smiles, and affection—flooded her mind, dissipating her intent to kill.

But the more she felt this way, the more panicked and horrified Nangong Mili became, knowing that something was seriously wrong with her.
