Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 700: Xiao Xiyue Returns! Preparing to Propose Marriage! (3)

Yun Wanshang did not say much, her hands white as jade gently lifted, a piece of cloth with a cloud pattern appeared, transforming into a cluster of colorful nebula clouds.

She and Xiao Xiyue gently rose to their feet and settled upon the colorful nebula clouds, becoming a streak of flowing light, flying into the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.

“Xi Yue, how are things between you and Lu Changsheng now?”

Yun Wanshang sat cross-legged on the Cloud Veil, closed her beautiful eyes, and quietly inquired.

Although she was aware of her disciple’s affair with Lu Changsheng, she had not paid much attention to it.

On one hand, thinking about the matter between her disciple and Lu Changsheng, she felt troubled.

On the other hand, it was out of respect for her disciple, not wanting to meddle too much in matters of the heart.

But now, the situation her disciple was in made her, as a master, inevitably concerned and obliged to ask.

“Master…”
Xiao Xiyue, wearing a moon-white dress, with a cold and clear complexion like the moon, felt her heart tremble upon hearing her master’s words, lightly biting her lip.

She knew her actions today disappointed her master.

But faced with her master’s questions, she did not dare to conceal anything and revealed her feelings towards Lu Changsheng.

The issue about her daughter, Lu Wangshu, was still something she dared not mention truthfully.

…

A month later.

At Bi Lake Mountain, Changsheng Hall.

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue expressed their longing for each other.

Separated for many years, their longing flooded in like the tide, reversing into a river.

Afterward!

Afterward!

Afterward!

Lu Changsheng held Xiao Xiyue, whose body was as pale and beautiful as jade, as enchanting as the dawn, and as radiant as moonlight, and asked about her past two years.

“Caiyun True Immortal got injured?”

Lu Changsheng caressed Xiao Xiyue’s flat belly, which didn’t have an ounce of excess fat, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

He hadn’t expected this secret realm to be so dangerous.

Even with two Nascent Soul Cultivators stationed there, it still resulted in Caiyun True Immortal, a Nascent Soul Immortal, getting injured and needing to return to the Sect for recuperation.

However, if not for Caiyun True Immortal returning to the Sect to recover, he and Xiao Xiyue might still not have known when they could see each other again.

But hearing that Xiao Xiyue would soon return to the Luoyun Mountain Range with her senior sister Chu Qingyi to explore the secret realm, he couldn’t help but worry.

“Xi Yue, isn’t this secret realm too dangerous?”

Lu Changsheng asked warmly.

He had never visited a secret realm or explored any ancient ruins or cave mansions.

In his mind, whether it was a predecessor’s cave mansion or an ancient secret realm, they were synonymous with danger.

If it was possible, he preferred not to get involved.

Now, hearing that the secret realm had injured a Nascent Soul Immortal, he naturally was concerned about Xiao Xiyue’s well-being.

“There were many prohibitions and demon beasts on the outer periphery of the secret realm, which is why Master was accidentally injured.”

“Now that the preliminary exploration of the secret realm is complete, there should be no significant danger.”

Xiao Xiyue explained.

However, since the secret realm was a crucial secret of the Sect, she could not share too much information with Lu Changsheng.

Even so, Lu Changsheng remained concerned about Xiao Xiyue’s situation.

After a brief moment of tenderness, they got up from the bed.

Having been apart for more than two years, Lu Changsheng continued to express his longing for her through his actions, helping Xiao Xiyue dress and do her makeup.

The undergarment was as white as the moon, thin as cicada’s wings, and light as clouds.

A simple and elegant braided long robe and moon-white flowing cloud skirt.

Though it was just a plain moon-white dress, on Xiao Xiyue it supported her exquisite figure with an ethereal grace, adding a cool and otherworldly aspect to her transcendent beauty.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng had Xiao Xiyue sit in front of a bronze mirror to do her hair and brought out various perfumes, rouge, and eyebrow pencils to do her makeup.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. As a man with many wives, this basic skill was something he had mastered.

Moreover, Cultivators were naturally beautiful and fair-skinned, mostly requiring only minor touch-ups to highlight their features.

Having done all this and seeing Xiao Xiyue’s gentle, sparkling eyes, Lu Changsheng’s face was also filled with smiles.

The life Mr. Lu pursued was just that simple and unadorned.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng, handsome as jade, took Xiao Xiyue’s hand to meet their daughter, Lu Wangshu.

But the next moment, he noticed that Xiao Xiyue had yet to put on her shoes and socks.

Her slender, fair feet were delicate and exquisite, shaped like lotus leaves, refined in every way, without a single flaw.

He then slipped the silk stockings and embroidered shoes onto these jade feet that he had often caressed and admired.

The two left Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven to find their daughter, Lu Wangshu.

“Daddy, Mommy.”

Lu Wangshu, seeing her mother, who had been absent for over two years, did not express overwhelming joy and happiness, displaying a bit of a sulking temperament instead.

Faced with this situation, of course, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue together coddled their daughter.

Moreover, it seemed that Xiao Xiyue had anticipated her daughter’s discontent and had even prepared a gift for her.

Lu Wangshu wasn’t truly angry.

It was simply that Xiao Xiyue had said she would visit often, but then took so long to return.

Now, seeing her mother’s face brimming with guilt and explanations, she immediately let go of her resentment.

Bi Shui Lake.

On a flat-bottomed boat.

Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a moon-white gown, sat and played the guqin like the Nine Heavens Bright Moon, full of immortal aura.

Lu Changsheng, in a green spiritual robe, held a bamboo flute to his lips, his demeanor relaxed and otherworldly.

The sound of the guqin and the melody of the flute rose and blended harmoniously, enchantingly beautiful, bringing to mind a scene under the moon and flowers, filled with endless love.

The lake breeze stirred ripples on the water’s surface, where fish swam idly, and a Green Jade Luan Bird in the sky performed a graceful dance.

Ever since achieving Third Rank in Music Mastery, Lu Changsheng had finally realized the purpose of this Green Jade Luan Bird.

It was to accompany his own music, adding a touch of charm to it.

Beside him, sitting on her own fishing boat, Lu Wangshu held a fishing rod in one hand and propped her radiant face with the other, quietly watching her parents play in harmony.

It had to be said that their music truly touched the soul and was utterly captivating.

It was just that the loving manner in which her parents played together made her feel as if her teeth were dissolving in the sweetness.

They had clearly agreed to accompany her for a day of fun, so how had she ended up feeling like an outsider?

“Hmph!”

Seeing a large fish approaching from a distance, she channeled her spiritual power with a motion, and slapped a mechanism nearby.

“Boom! Splish splash!”

Instantly, a small cannon on the boat fired a fierce bolt of lightning, the explosion rippling giant waves across the calm water and charring the large fish.

“Daddy, Mommy, look, I’ve caught another king of fish!”

Lu Wangshu shot out the fishing line and scooped up the large fish, looking obedient and adorable as she spoke.

“Lu Wangshu, are you allergic to elegance or what? Don’t you realize you’re totally spoiling the atmosphere?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, somewhat speechless.

As a father, he couldn’t help but understand that this crafty creature was doing it on purpose.

“But I really did see a king of fish, and I didn’t want it to get away.”

Lu Wangshu said with an innocent look on her face.

“Alright, alright~”

Xiao Xiyue looked at her daughter with affection and asked if she wanted to join them and continue learning to play the guqin.

“Yes, yes!”

Lu Wangshu immediately replied with a smile, making a mischievous face at her father, prompting Lu Changsheng to shake his head and lightly chuckle.

…

Like this, Xiao Xiyue stayed for seven days at Bi Lake Mountain.

During these seven days, as if making up for lost time, she mostly spent her time doting on her daughter, Lu Wangshu, indulging her every whim.

“Xi Yue, since the True Immortal knows about us, and now that he happens to be in the Sect, what do you think of us going to see him? If he agrees, it would be easier for you to come back to Bi Lake Mountain in the future.”

That day, as Xiao Xiyue was about to leave, Lu Changsheng, holding her fair jade hand, spoke earnestly.

He had previously mentioned to Xiao Xiyue the idea of asking for her hand in marriage at the Qingyun Sect.

However, at the time, the Caiyun True Immortal was not present in the Sect.

Now that he knew the Caiyun True Immortal had returned to the Sect, Lu Changsheng planned to make a trip to the Qingyun Sect to formally propose marriage.

After all, he had once promised Xiao Xiyue.

And when he had first brought up the subject to Xiao Xiyue, he had seen a flicker of hope and longing in her eyes.

There was also the matter of his daughter, Lu Wangshu.

Although she had never brought up this issue,

he knew that she must be questioning the nature of his relationship with Xiao Xiyue in her heart.

So now, with the opportunity presenting itself, he intended to go straightforwardly to the Sect to propose!

Regardless of the outcome, at the very least, he needed to show the proper attitude and take responsibility!
