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

Chapter 701: Chapter 263: Xu Ruyin: Is This a Heaven Rank Demon Beast?!_2

Once, her goals were Foundation Establishment and family.

Now that she had achieved Foundation Establishment, her thoughts gradually focused on her family.

All she hoped for was a happy family and for Bi Lake Mountain and Qing Zhu Mountain to both prosper more and more.

…

Bi Lake Mountain.

“To have Miss Xu from the Xu Family stay at my Bi Lake Mountain for a few days?”

...
At the mountain gate, Lu Miaoyun looked at the Patriarch Zheng and Xu Ruyin before her, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Patriarch Zheng, Miss Xu, please wait a moment,” she said.

She passed the message on to Ling Zixiao.

If it had been an ordinary visit, she would have dared to make a decision.

But with the recent incident involving the Copper Bell Rogue Cultivator, she was unsure of what to do at the moment.

“To stay at our place for a few days?”

Ling Zixiao, upon hearing this, came to the mountain gate and appraised Xu Ruyin.

She had soft, shining, fiery red hair, a delicate and aloof face, a curvaceous figure, wearing a splendid dress interwoven with gold and red threads.

Her looks, figure, and temperament were all top-notch.

“My husband has been at home for all these years; it’s normal for him to attract a young lady on his rare outings,” Ling Zixiao remarked to herself as she observed Xu Ruyin.

Otherwise, why would a young woman come to their home seeking refuge from disaster?

And even if she did come to seek refuge, it wouldn’t be by herself, would it?

“Miaoyun, please arrange for Miss Xu to stay at Bi Lake Villa,” Ling Zixiao said with a slight smile.

Setting aside whether there was any relationship between Lu Changsheng and Xu Ruyin,

Given the relationship between the Lu and Zheng families, and considering the face of the Yu Shui Xu Family, it would be difficult to refuse such a request from the other party.

“Very well, Miss Xu, please follow me,” Lu Miaoyun said immediately after hearing this, leading Xu Ruyin to Bi Lake Villa.

Afterward, Ling Zixiao invited Patriarch Zheng into the mountain for tea, inquiring why he had only sent Miss Xu over.

“It was Miss Xu herself who insisted…” Patriarch Zheng explained with a wry smile.

He mentioned that his family originally planned to settle Xu Ruyin and several young family members in the Nine Dragons Market,

but Xu Ruyin expressed that Bi Lake Mountain was closer to Wugong Ridge, and she wished to stay there temporarily until her ancestors arrived.

“I truly apologize for bothering Senior Ling,” Patriarch Zheng said as he cupped his hands.

Had it not been for Xu Ruyin’s insistent request, he too would not have wanted to trouble Bi Lake Mountain.

After all, sending people to the Nine Dragons Market would also ensure their safety, and sending them to Bi Lake Mountain instead would mean owing a favor.

“You are too courteous, Patriarch Zheng,” Ling Zixiao replied on hearing this.

Almost convinced of her earlier guess, Ling Zixiao felt this young lady must have feelings for Lu Changsheng, or else she wouldn’t have taken such an initiative.

After a brief conversation, Patriarch Zheng did not stay for further discussion and took his leave.

…

Bi Lake Villa.

Lu Miaoyun settled Xu Ruyin in a tranquil attic.

She told her she’d be staying there and could seek her out for anything she needed.

“Thank you for your troubles, Mrs. Lu,” Xu Ruyin expressed her gratitude to Lu Miaoyun.

“Huh, so this is Bi Lake Mountain?”

“I wonder if Lu Changsheng’s Heaven Rank Demon Beast is on this Bi Lake Mountain?” Xu Ruyin looked out the window at the scenery, musing secretly to herself.

Since being at Zheng Family’s place, she had sensed the aura of a Heaven Rank Demon Beast from Lu Changsheng.

Therefore, she had been trying to find a way to get close to Lu Changsheng.

She wanted to see the state of Lu Changsheng’s Heaven Rank Demon Beast and whether there was a chance for her to obtain it.

After all, her cultivation level was already at the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement, and it wouldn’t take much longer before she could make a break for Foundation Establishment.

However, she didn’t want to achieve it just like that.

Her desire was to contract a Heaven Rank Demon Beast first and then form a “Beastly Dao Foundation.”

Only by doing so could she respond in kind at the family competition, exchanging tooth for tooth, blood for blood, returning all the hatred her father faced to those responsible!

The recent event with the rogue cultivator delivering the clock made her realize it was an opportunity.

So, she used it as a pretext to ask the Zheng family to send her to Bi Lake Mountain to see if she could detect the presence of a Heaven Rank Demon Beast.

“Senior Hong Lian, with you concealing my form and aura, is it possible to deceive the Great Formation of Bi Lake Mountain?” Xu Ruyin inquired in her mind.

“This Great Formation of Bi Lake Mountain is only of the Second Rank, and as long as it is not fully operational, it should not be a big problem,” a serene, clear, and gentle voice replied in Xu Ruyin’s mind.

“Hmm…”

Just then, the serene and clear voice paused.

“Hmm?” Xu Ruyin felt something at that moment, turning her gaze toward the sky outside the window.

“La la la~”

There she saw a young woman in a moon-white dress, flying towards Bi Shui Lake with a little girl of six or seven years old in a pink silk dress.

Xu Ruyin stared intently at the little girl’s seat – a plump, ice-blue turtle emitting a faint chill, looking utterly adorable.

“Is this… a Heaven Rank Demon Beast!?” Xu Ruyin was a bit bewildered.

She had been intending to use Senior Hong Lian’s power to conceal herself and investigate Bi Lake Mountain.

But unexpectedly, the Heaven Rank Demon Beast she had so longed for and thought about endlessly, she yearned for so greatly, appeared right before her eyes.

If not for the reaction of the Beast Technique, she would hardly believe that the turtle the little girl was riding was a Heaven Rank Bloodline Demon Beast.

“Senior Hong Lian…” Xu Ruyin reached out with her mind.

“Indeed, this is a Heaven Rank Bloodline Demon Beast,” the serene and clear voice spoke once again.

Not only was Xu Ruyin taken aback, but so was the voice in her head; both were astonished beyond belief.

It was hard to imagine that a Heaven Rank Demon Beast would be ridden and played with by a little girl.

…

Red Leaf Valley Market.

Since the Inverted Five Elements Formation that Ling Zixiao had set up was only a small formation, the required materials were not numerous.

Ling Zixiao had also taken into consideration the rarity of materials and listed all possible substitutes.

Therefore, it took Lu Changsheng just two days to gather all the materials needed for the formation in the Red Leaf Valley Market.

In those two days, Lu Changsheng also received feedback from the other three families regarding their stance on the rogue cultivator incident,

Which was to be vigilant, contact each other immediately if anything happened, and provide mutual assistance.
