Chapter 1384 - 476: _2
The two chatted and laughed like sisters.
“Sister Xiaochan, you must keep it a secret~”
After chatting for a while, Nangong Yaoyao winked at Meng Xiaochan and said.
“Okay.”
Meng Xiaochan lovingly patted the girl’s glossy and smooth hair.
…
That night.
“Lu Lang, Yaoyao has already confirmed your identity, but she’s not ready to acknowledge it yet. She probably wants to know more about you.”
Meng Xiaochan, dressed in a purple gown, nestled in Lu Changsheng’s embrace and whispered.
“Hmm, let her be.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly.
Since his daughter wants more interactions, he doesn’t mind. It’s just a chance to gain her favor earlier.
Anyway, calculating the time, Nangong Mili won’t return for another month or two, so there’s no rush.
“When Yaoyao was young, she often asked about her father, but her master remained tight-lipped, and so Yaoyao gradually stopped asking…”
Meng Xiaochan continued talking about Nangong Yaoyao’s childhood.
She was especially well-protected by Nangong Mili when she was young, truly innocent and naive.
However, Nangong Mili also understood that in a place like the Jin Kingdom’s Five Poisons Cult, being too innocent isn’t a good thing.
So, as Yaoyao grew older, she was gradually exposed to the world’s dangers.
“Hmm…”
Listening, Lu Changsheng not only understood Nangong Yaoyao better but also shifted his impressions of Nangong Mili.
This woman, though a Demonic Path Cultivator, is quite a competent mother.
Probably because of this, she chose to give birth to Yaoyao, and when she heard he was coming to see Yaoyao, she was so nervous.
…
In the ensuing days, Nangong Yaoyao often came to chat with Lu Changsheng.
Besides seeking advice on the “Six Desires Heart Demon Technique,” she sought guidance on cultivation and other related matters.
For all these inquiries, Lu Changsheng responded patiently.
He even showcased his skills in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Puppetry, Music Mastery, Spiritual Cooking, Wine Brewing, and so forth.
During this process, every time he exhibited a skill, Nangong Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Lu Changsheng with awe and reverence.
At these moments, Lu Changsheng felt a lack in his cultivation techniques and skills.
If only he knew Gu breeding, Gu refining, poison techniques, etc., he could showcase them well in front of his daughter.
“Lu Lang, when do you plan to reveal the truth to Yaoyao?”
That night, Meng Xiaochan softly asked Lu Changsheng.
She noticed that the father and daughter had been getting along quite well, and Nangong Yaoyao had a favorable impression of Lu Changsheng as her father.
“Yaoyao probably wants to know what happened between her mother and me years ago, and worries that acknowledging me would upset her mother.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head gently.
Through these days of interaction, he understood why Nangong Yaoyao was hesitant to reveal their relationship.
Compared to him as a father, she leaned more towards her mother.
That’s normal; after all, he had only known her for this short period, and how could his standing in her heart surpass Nangong Mili?
“Master went to the Jin Kingdom earlier and hasn’t returned yet…”
Meng Xiaochan said softly, looking worried.
She not only worried about her master’s well-being but also about her master’s encounter with Lu Changsheng.
“She should be back in about a month.”
Lu Changsheng said.
“Oh?”
Meng Xiaochan was stunned, looking at Lu Changsheng in surprise: “Lu Lang, how do you know that?”
“I met her earlier; initially, I wanted to come see Yaoyao with her, but she was unwilling, so I came first.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything from Meng Xiaochan and said directly.
“What? Lu Lang, you met Master?”
Meng Xiaochan was even more bewildered.
Lu Lang had already met Master and wanted to come with her to see Yaoyao.
But Master’s trip to Jiang Country wasn’t she supposed to confront Lu Lang?
Why didn’t anything happen, and Lu Lang arrived at the Immortal Spider Marketplace first?
She was utterly confused.
“Lu Lang, Master she…”
Meng Xiaochan spoke but hesitated, unsure what to say.
Despite her deep affection for Lu Changsheng and her sole focus on his well-being, she held profound feelings for her master Nangong Mili.
Thinking that nothing had happened, she hoped no further conflicts would arise between the two.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already broken through Core Formation, so there’s no need to worry about your master.”
Lu Changsheng naturally understood what she wanted to say and chuckled lightly.
“What, Lu Lang, you’ve broken through Core Formation already!?”
Meng Xiaochan was astonished, looking at Lu Changsheng.
Consider, she reached Foundation Establishment before Lu Changsheng.
Since arriving in the Jin Kingdom, she refined the “Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart Technique” using the Heart-Eating Gu to its peak and tapped into her Thousand Threads of Poison Body’s potential, progressing quickly in cultivation, having reached the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment!
But breaking through to Core Formation was still uncertain.
On one hand, she needed to solidify her foundation.
On the other, breaking Foundation Establishment into Core Formation required extensive preparation.
Even being a True Inheritor of the Five Poisons Cult with a Core Formation master, she had to accumulate enough contribution points and redeem the ‘Coagulation Crystal Elixir’ for a secure breakthrough to Core Formation.
Completing all these would take at least ten years, even two or three decades.
Yet Lu Changsheng had already broken through to Core Formation at this moment, his speed was astonishing!
“Indeed.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.
“No wonder you are Lu Lang, truly exceptional.”
Meng Xiaochan’s eyes were filled with admiration and pride.
Her beloved breaking through to Core Formation at such a young age brought her immense joy and pride.
“But Master’s cultivation level already broke through to Middle Stage Core Formation, so Lu Lang, you should still be cautious.”
