Chapter 1379 - 474: 3rd-Tier Spiritual Pets, Goodbye Meng Xiaochan!_3
He took out a Sensing Talisman from the Storage Ring and activated it.
“Hmm, not here…”
Lu Changsheng’s heart sank slightly.
The situation he was most worried about on this trip was that Meng Xiaochan was not at the Five Poisons Cult and had gone out on a mission.
If his daughter Nangong Yaoyao was at the Five Poisons Cult without Meng Xiaochan leading the way, it would be quite troublesome to see his daughter.
After all, such a Nascent Soul Level Power as the Five Poisons Cult, he couldn’t possibly sneak in.
This is also why he brought Nangong Mili along with him before.
“Hopefully Yaoyao is also not at the Five Poisons Cult.”
A Blood Tracking Talisman appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.
He then smeared his and Nangong Mili’s blood onto it.
A moment later, the Blood Tracking Talisman burned and transformed into a small blood-colored snake, slowly guiding them in another direction.
“Looks like my luck is good.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng showed a hint of smile and then followed the guidance and left.
…
Several days later.
“Immortal Spider Marketplace.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the name of the marketplace ahead and stopped his steps.
From this name, he roughly guessed that this marketplace belonged to the industry under Nangong Mili’s name, arranging for his daughter to undergo training here.
Immediately, he paid ten Spirit Stones and entered the marketplace.
Upon arriving at the marketplace, he did not go directly to find his daughter Nangong Yaoyao.
On one hand, seeing her soon, he didn’t know in what manner he should meet this daughter.
On the other hand, he was also somewhat preparing, wanting to understand a bit about his daughter’s situation.
Lu Changsheng visited a shop that sold intelligence information, inquiring whether there was any information related to Nangong Yaoyao.
“Nangong Yaoyao!?”
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper’s eyes and pupils shrank, showing a hint of fear.
Then, without showing any emotion, he asked Lu Changsheng to wait for a moment.
With Divine Sense comparable to Core Formation Peak, Lu Changsheng keenly sensed the shopkeeper entering a room and crushing a Transmission Talisman.
“Heh-heh.”
He held the tea, shaking his head with a light laugh.
He suspected this was standard procedure where purchasing information related to Nangong Yaoyao would notify the cultivators of the marketplace.
This scenario is considered conventional practice in the marketplace.
Just like buying intelligence information of forces like Bi Lake Mountain, Qingzhu Mountain, Hundred Birds Lake at Red Leaf Valley Market, would be recorded.
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind, continuing to drink tea as he waited peacefully.
After a short while, the shopkeeper brought a Jade Slip containing information about Nangong Yaoyao.
“Is this my daughter?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Jade Slip, seeing Nangong Yaoyao’s face partially covered by gauze but still not hiding her breathtaking beauty. He smiled and then began to read through the intelligence inside.
This intelligence had clearly been processed.
It only contained simple details about Nangong Yaoyao, without much detailed information.
Even her cultivation realm was recorded incorrectly.
“But Xiaochan is also in this marketplace?”
Lu Changsheng gained a useful piece of information from it.
Earlier, he was wondering whether Meng Xiaochan was here as well.
Now seeing the records in the Jade Slip of Nangong Yaoyao and Meng Xiaochan stationed together, he immediately tossed out a Middle Grade Spirit Stone, left the shop, and sat down in a restaurant, activating Meng Xiaochan’s Sensing Talisman.
Since Meng Xiaochan was here, it would be much easier for him to see his daughter.
He could also learn about his daughter’s situation and how her life had been all these years through her.
…
In a splendid palace at the Immortal Spider Marketplace.
An absolutely beautiful woman of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a purple skirt sat cross-legged, with a Five-Colored Spider coiled beside her.
In the four corners of the hall, there were respectively coiled a Spirit Snake, Jade Toad, Centipede, Poison Scorpion, all emitting threads of venom from their mouths.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, the woman opened her beautiful eyes, her pupils glistening with a purple sheen, adding an ethereal, dreamlike beauty to her delicate face.
A Brocade Box appeared in her hand, and she carefully opened it.
Inside were several Talismans.
These were the Talismans gifted to her early on by Lu Changsheng.
Except for some she used at that time, the remaining Talismans were carefully preserved once she returned to Jin Kingdom.
“This is Lu Lang’s Sensing Talisman. Lu Lang is at the Immortal Spider Marketplace…”
Meng Xiaochan saw the Sensing Talisman flashing red and immediately showed a face full of surprise, astonishment, excitement, joy, looking outside.
She seemed to see a youth of elegant appearance and handsomely poised stature smiling at her.
“Why would Lu Lang come to the Immortal Spider Marketplace? Could it be that Master has brought Lu Lang…”
However, at the next moment, her heart skipped a beat, suspecting that Master had captured Lu Changsheng while visiting Jiang Country.
Otherwise, why would Lu Changsheng appear at the Immortal Spider Marketplace out of nowhere.
Biting her lip lightly, without thinking much, she hurriedly adjusted her attire, checked her appearance in the mirror, then quickly exited the hall, heading towards the location of the Sensing Talisman.
“Salute to the Honorable Marketplace Lord!”
“Salute to Senior Sister Meng! Salute to Uncle Master!”
On the way, cultivators who saw Meng Xiaochan promptly greeted her with respect.
Compared to the righteous path, the Demon Path was even stricter in hierarchy.
Low Rank cultivators meeting High Rank cultivators, and even among sect members, etiquette was greatly emphasized.
Moreover, after all these years, Meng Xiaochan, as a disciple of Nangong Mili, the Heavenly Spider Envoy of the Five Poisons Cult, had a fearsome reputation.
“Hmm.”
At this moment, Meng Xiaochan had no time to pay attention to these people, only quickly heading to the location of the Sensing Talisman.
As she got closer, her heart beat faster and faster, feeling tense, excited, and agitated.
Moments later, following the Sensing Talisman she arrived at a restaurant, seeing a handsome middle-aged man in a dark brocade robe.
Though he didn’t look like Lu Changsheng, the mysterious bond formed by the Lockheart Gu made her clearly aware that this was Lu Changsheng!
“Xiaochan.”
Seeing this woman whose features and aura had changed quite a bit since before, Lu Changsheng stood up and called out to her softly.
“Lu Lang!”
Upon hearing the gentle call, Meng Xiaochan could no longer suppress the longing in her heart.
Years of yearning and affection surged like a tide, she directly burst into tears of joy and embraced Lu Changsheng.
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
Nearby cultivators who knew Meng Xiaochan watched this scene as if seeing a ghost, gasping in shock, wishing to know who Lu Changsheng was.
To make Meng Xiaochan show such an expression.
After all, they all knew that this Marketplace Lord, not only stunningly beautiful but also the disciple of Nangong Mili, the Heavenly Spider Envoy of the Five Poisons Cult, had a fearsome reputation.
Yet now, she was calling a man ‘Lu Lang’, and her voice was filled with unspeakable longing and tender affection.
However, seeing the embrace of the two, these people dared not make any noise, even signaling others to remain silent, so as not to provoke Meng Xiaochan.
“Xiaochan, long time no see.”
Lu Changsheng hugged Meng Xiaochan, feeling her longing for him, his heart filled with some guilt.
He had actually little feeling for Meng Xiaochan.
Yet she had been deeply affected by the Lockheart Gu, loving him to her core, constantly thinking of him.
Although it was self-inflicted with the Lockheart Gu back then.
But so many years had passed, Lu Changsheng had long let go of this matter.
You could say, a man would have a soft spot for a woman who has constantly been fond of him.
And Lu Ancestor, although fond of beauty, disdained using methods such as the Lockheart Gu.
“Lu Lang, why have you come to the Immortal Spider Marketplace?”
After a moment, Meng Xiaochan woke from her joy, her cheeks flushed red, like a girl in love, gently asked Lu Changsheng.
“Let’s find a place to continue our talk.”
Lu Changsheng said, looking at the many people nearby.
“Mhm-mhm.”
Meng Xiaochan hurriedly nodded in agreement, her beautiful eyes unwilling to let Lu Changsheng out of her sight, leading him away.
