Chapter 1181: Chapter 412: Seven Candidates Prepared for Foundation Establishment!
Three months later.
Gazing down at the continuous mountain ranges shrouded in the Array Formation Spiritual Light, Lu Changsheng saw the emerald lake of Bihu Lake Mountain, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to return within a month.
However, he had taken some trouble to deal with two Demon Kings along the way, hence the delay.
"Hum!"
The radiant glow flowed around Lu Changsheng’s body, and his dignified face suddenly became more handsome and spirited, his tall and stalwart figure slightly more slender, making him look refined and elegant, like a noble pine amidst the breeze.
Then, Lu Changsheng looked towards Bing’er in his arms, gently lifted his palm, and with a flow of Yin and Yang energy, the disguise on Bing’er’s face dissolved, revealing her exceptionally beautiful face, as if taken from a perfect painting.
"Daddy."
Bing’er, looking up at Lu Changsheng’s handsome face, tilted her head affectionately and called out like a little kitten nuzzling against him.
"We’ll be home soon. Remember what Daddy taught you before?"
Lu Changsheng touched her cold little head and spoke with a gentle voice.
Previously, he had reverted to his true appearance and attempted to explain to Bing’er that he was not her father.
But once she heard this, she immediately burst into tears, insisting that Daddy was Daddy, and that she would behave well. Lu Changsheng really didn’t know what to say and just went along with it.
"Mhm mhm, home!"
Bing’er’s eyes were clear and bright, almost dreamlike, as she looked excitedly at Bihu Lake Mountain below.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng held the Token and silently entered Bihu Lake Mountain with Bing’er, arriving at Bi Yun Peak.
"Husband!"
"Husband, you’re back."
In the Lu Family Mansion, Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, Bai Ling, and a few others saw Lu Changsheng and immediately expressed delight.
However, they had a somewhat strange expression upon seeing Bing’er, who was closely clinging to Lu Changsheng’s arm.
Wasn’t their husband supposed to be hunting Demon Beasts in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range? Why did he bring back a woman?
But it seemed natural for their husband to be captivated by such an exceptional beauty.
This woman was picture-perfect, like a fantasy dream, except her skin was too pale; in fact, it was almost pallid, spoiling her beautiful charm.
And those eyes, so clear and pure, radiated an innocent naivety, giving her a guileless air.
"Daddy."
When Bing’er saw so many people looking at her, she couldn’t help feeling a bit restrained and called out to Lu Changsheng.
"Hmm?"
"Daddy?"
Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and the others were stunned to hear Bing’er calling Lu Changsheng Daddy, somewhat baffled.
What was happening?
This woman wasn’t a new concubine that their husband picked up during his adventures, but his daughter?
When did their husband have such a grown daughter?
"Cough cough, I’ll explain later,"
Lu Changsheng rubbed Bing’er’s little head to signal her to relax and then stepped forward for an intimate hug with his wives.
A moment later, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and others heard about Lu Changsheng’s return and also came to the Lu Family Mansion.
"A daughter picked up?"
Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words and seeing the exquisite beauty of Bing’er’s face and her affectionate closeness with Lu Changsheng, Ling Zixiao said with a smile that was not quite a smile: "My lord sure has an extraordinary charm with women, to have picked up such a beautiful, well-behaved daughter. I wonder if you’re going to pick up a few more daughters to bring home in the future?"
"Err..."
At that remark, Lu Changsheng thought of his daughter Nangong Yaoyao in the Jin Kingdom and awkwardly smiled, "How could there be so many daughters to pick up? But it’s possible that I’ll indeed bring another daughter home in the future."
"Ah?"
Ling Zixiao was taken aback upon hearing this.
She had only thought it strange that Lu Changsheng brought a woman home and even called her his daughter, which seemed rather scandalous, so she teased him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng indeed had a daughter from outside.
The other women were also stunned, looking at their husband, having never heard about this.
"Zixiao, do you remember Nangong Mili...?"
Lu Changsheng said softly.
Now that he had achieved Core Formation, he was preparing to visit the Jin Kingdom after he finished dealing with family affairs at home, to check on his daughter Nangong Yaoyao.
If possible, he would bring her back to Bihu Lake Mountain.
Therefore, he briefed his wives about his plans to visit the Jin Kingdom.
"Nangong Mili!?"
Ling Zixiao was shocked to hear this, her elegant face suddenly surprised.
Then with an incredulous look, she exclaimed, "My lord, are you really saying that woman bore your child?"
Initially, when she observed the change in Lu Changsheng’s attitude towards Nangong Mili, she had her suspicions.
But considering that it was difficult for a Nascent Soul Immortal to conceive, and that Lu Changsheng merely had Dual Cultivation Healing with Nangong Mili, it seemed impossible for pregnancy to occur, so she didn’t pay much mind to it.
Now, hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the memories suddenly resurfaced.
"Nangong Mili?"
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and others were somewhat puzzled, looking at each other in confusion, having never heard this name before.
"Yes, indeed, that woman conceived a child back then,"
Lu Changsheng nodded and said: "So I plan to make a trip to the Jin Kingdom after things at home are stable, to see the child."
"To Jin Kingdom?"
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen were even more surprised.
They never anticipated that their husband would have a child with another woman, and that both the woman and the child were not in Jiang Country.
Seeing the bewilderment in the eyes of Lu Miaoge and the others, Lu Changsheng began to recount the story about Nangong Mili.
He explained that on his return from Jiuxiao Immortal City with Ling Zixiao, he encountered Meng Xiaochan and her master, and through Dual Cultivation, he healed the other person, which unexpectedly led to her becoming pregnant.
"A Nascent Soul Immortal?"
"Miss Xiaochan?"
"This..."
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and the others had a deep impression of Meng Xiaochan.
If not for her, during the battle between Qingzhu Mountain and Red Leaf Valley, the Lu Family and Bai Family would have never been able to take down Red Leaf Valley.
