Chapter 125: Sister Miaoge, Why Don’t You Teach Huanhuan!
by xennovel“Ancestor, I have no other requests, just a small matter to trouble you with.”
Lu Changsheng paused slightly at the words of the Lu Family Patriarch and respectfully said.
A few days ago, after Lu Miaoyun told him that Lu Mioge agreed to marry him, he planned to propose to Lu Yuanshan Ding.
He intended to marry both sisters.
But when it came time to propose, Lu Changsheng was stuck.
He wasn’t sure how to bring it up.
After all, who proposes to a family and marries both daughters at once?
Even with his thick skin, he didn’t know how to approach Lu Yuanshan Ding.
He finally decided, as his wife Lu Miaoyun suggested, to ask te Lu Family Patriarch to arrange the marriage.
He and Lu Miaoge, as well as Lu Miaoouan, were mutually in love.
So having the patriarch propose on his behalf was reasonable.
There was no force involved.
“Oh? You have something to trouble me with?”
The Lu Family Patriarch was slightly surprised to hear Lu Changsheng wanted his help.
He straightforwardly asked, “What’s the matter? Feel free to speak.”
“I am deeply in love with the family head’s daughter, and I would like to ask the ancestor to be my matchmaker.”
Lu Changsheng earnestly said.
“In love with Yuanding’s daughter?”
The Lu Family Patriarch chuckled.
He thought it was something major.
Turned out to be a matter of young love.
But recalling Lu Changsheng’s fondness for marrying and having children made him relieved.
He immediately chuckled and said, “Since you both love each other, the ancestor will agree to arrange the marriage!”
“However, I recall Yuanding has two daughters. Which one are you in love with? Is it Miaoge?”
The Lu Family Patriarch asked.
Though he didn’t meddle in family affairs.
He was well-informed about many things within the family.
He knew Lu Yuanshan Ding had two daughters.
Especially Lu Miaoge, who had a great taaent in cultivation and was a High-Tier Talisman Master.
Lu Changsheng’s current expression made him guess he wanted to marry Lu Miaoge..
“Uh, Ancestor, I’m mutually in love with both daughters.”
Lu Changsheng sheepishly replied.
“What? You’re in love with both of Yuanding’s daughters?”
The Lu Family Patriarch was taken aback.
He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to have asked him to arrange a marriage for both.
But for both.
To marry both of Lu Yuanshan Ding’s daughters.
He instantly understood.
No wonder Lu Changsheng wanted him to arrange the marriage.
Instead of proposing himself.
If Lu Changsheng had gone to propose himself, saying he wanted to marry both daughters, he might not have been chased out, but Lu Yuanshan Ding wouldn’t have been pleased.
“Alright, since you’re mutually in love, the ancestor will arrange the marriage.”
The Lu Family Patriarch agreed without further questions.
Even if there was no mutual love.
Lu Changsheng proposed, and as long as both parties weren’t against him.
The patriarch was willing to pair Lu Changsheng with these fortunate women.
After all, Lu Changsheng was a part of the Lu Family now.
Marrying more from the Lu Family was fine.
It wouldn’t allow talent to leave.
It would strengthen his ties to the Lu Family, binding him tightly and integrating him more.
“Thank you, Ancestor!”
Lu Changsheng felt relieved when the Lu Family Patriarch so readily agreed, and he immediately bowed in gratitude.
“Haha, no need to be so courteous.”
“Is there anything else on your mind? Don’t be shy, feel free to tell.”
The Lu Family Patriarch cheerfully said to Lu Changsheng.
“Ancestor, I have no other matters.”
Lu Changsheng respectfully said.
“Alright, since there’s nothing, I’ll handle your matchmaking.”
“However, I can’t guarantee success.”
“Of course, as you said, if there’s mutual love, there shouldn’t be any issues.”
The Lu Family Patriarch said.
He wouldn’t make empty promises.
“I understand, thank you Ancestor.”
Lu Changsheng said, bowing.
He inquired about Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan..
But he was simply afraid to face Lu Yuanshan Ding, his future father-in-law.
Soon after, the Lu Family Patriarch didn’t linger, exchanged a few words with Lu Changsheng, and then left.
Lu Changsheng respectfully saw him off.
“Husband, did you mention Miaoge and Miaohuan to the patriarch?”
After seeing off the Lu Family Patriarch, Lu Miaoyun approached to ask.
She had a plan if Lu Changsheng couldn’t bring it up.
To trouble the Fourth Elder.
Get the Fourth Elder to arrange a marriage for Lu Changsheng.
“The Patriarch agreed.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, hiding nothing.
He also shared the reward given by the Lu Family Patriarch.
“A hundred acres of spiritual fields, a shop, and a Cave Dwelling in Hongye Valley Marketplace!”
Lu Miaoyun was stunned by the enerous reward.
This reward was quite substantial.
Even the most ordinary Spirit Rice grown on a hundred acres.
Deducting seeds, fertilizer, etc., entrusting it to Spirit Farmers to manage, could earn over a thousand Spirit Stones a year.
An income of over a thousand Spirit Stones a year is significant anywhere.
Even for Lu Changsheng now, it’s a considerable income.
It would ease the burden of raising children.
And when Red Leaf Market flourishes, the shop and Cave Dwelling will also yield substantial income.
The reward from the Lu Family Patriarch was indeed generous.
Only after Lu Miaoyun’s explanation did L Changsheng understand the value of a hundred acres of spiritual fields.
As he had never cultivated spiritual fields.
He didn’t grasp the concept of a hundred acres.
“Does this mean I can live off the rental income in the future?”
Lu Changsheng chuckled.
A hundred acres of spiritual fields, a shop, and a Cave Dwelling could provide a luxurious life for ninety percent of cultivators.
This made him understand why ‘land’ is one of the four essentials in cultivation: wealth, companionship, method, and place.
Many loose cultivators yearn for a piece of spiritual land.
Not just for cultivation.
But owning spiritual land means having the means of production and a constant income.
No longer needing to wander for a living.
“Yun’r, when the spiritual field reward comes down, I’ll need you to oversee it.”
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoyun.
Daily cultivation, talisman making, spending time with his wives and children, left him no time to handle too much.
Matters like managing spiritual fields naturally fell to his wives.
And he trusted Lu Miaoyun completely.
“Husband, focus on your cultivation. Leave this to me.”
Lu Miaoyun sweetly replied, feling trusted as she took charge of a hundred acres of spiritual fields.
Though she didn’t know much about farming.
She knew the Lu Family had a mature system for this.
No need for her to manage much.
Just oversee and collect profits.
After leaving Lu Changsheng, the Lu Family Patriarch went directly to Lu Yuanshan Ding’s residence.
“Ancestor, what brings you here?”
Lu Yuanshan Ding learned of the patriarch’s arrival and dared not delay.
“Haha, Lu Changsheng asked the patriarch to be his matchmaker, so the patriarch came to arrange his marriage.”
The patriarch directly said.
“Are you referring to Changsheng and Huanhuan?”
“I was planning to discuss this with Lu Changsheng, didn’t expect the patriarch to personally come.”
Lu Yuanshan Ding smiled.
He intended to deal with his daughter Lu Miaohuan’s matters soon.
Seeing his daughter’s feelings for Lu Changsheng was clear as day.
Even caught his daughter being intimate with Lu Changsheng once.
It felt timely to finalize things.
Although Lu Changsheng had many wives, making him a bit displeased.
Fearing his daughter might suffer grievances.
But setting that aside.
He was quite satisfied with Lu Changsheng in other aspects.
His daughter liked Lu Changsheng, what more could he say?
Lu Yuanshan Ding didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to have the patriarch personally arrange it.
Yet he felt pleased.
Such actions showed Lu Changsheng’s sincere care for his daughters.
“Oh? Seems Lu Changsheng spoke the truth.”
“But he mentioned mutual love with both your daughters.”
The patriarch chuckled.
“What? Both?”
“He’s asking the patriarch to arrange not just for Huanhuan but for Miaoge too?”
Lu Yuanshan Ding’s expression changed dramatically.
Preparing to marry off Miaohuan, he was mentally ready.
But now, Lu Changsheng wanted to marry his eldest daughter too.
It was hard for a father’s heart to accept.
“Indeed, the lad couldn’t face proposing himself, so he’s asked the patriarch to arrange it.”
The patriarch shook his head watching Lu Yuanshan Ding’s reaction.
“Sigh.”
Lu Yuanshan Ding sighed deeply.
He knew Lu Changsheng wasn’t about taking advantage or using force.
Having the patriarch arrange it suggested genuine feelings for his daughter.
Yet, marrying both daughters made his blood boil, fists clenched.
“When did they fall for each other?”
He pondered.
His busy days made him miss his eldest daughter’s involvement with Lu Changsheng.
But he quickly deduced it was during their time managing the Talisman Shop at Jiulong Market.
Realizing Lu Changsheng persuaded his eldest daughter.
Lu Yuanshan Ding felt a pang of loss.
“Ancestor, I’d like to consult Miaoge.”
Lu Yuanshan Ding gritted his teeth.
His younger daughter had her heart set on Lu Changsheng.
But he felt he needed to consult his eldest daughter.
To see if her feelings for Lu Changsheng were genuine.
If she truly liked him, so be it.
Otherwise, even if the patriarch proposed, he’d protect his daughter.
“Haha, I’m curious how the lad won over our family’s jewel.”
The patriarch nodded, chuckling.
Soon, Lu Miaoge entered the hall..
“Father? You called for me?”
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
Seeing the patriarch sipping tea, she respectfully greeted him.
“Miaoge, Lu Changsheng claims mutual love and asked me to propose.”
“Is it true?”
The patriarch smiled at her, asking.
Lu Miaoge blushed at the wordd.
Returning home after Lu Miaoyun’s words two days ag made her anxious.
Thinking about Lu Changsheng proposing.
Never expecting him to ask the patriarch personally.
“Sigh.”
Seeing this, Lu Yuanshan Ding realized.
Though he intended to ask more.
Seeing his daughter, he knew there were true feelings.
“Alright, a month later, a good day shall come.”
“Let the wedding be then, the patriarch will officiate.”
The patriarch decided.
Wondering about Lu Changsheng’s charm.
How he won over both daughters.
Recalling the affair with the Foundation Establishment lady in Red Leaf Valley.
He couldn’t comprehend.
Beauty alone couldn’t win so many hearts.
Surely Lu Changsheng had other qualities.
Despite visiting his residence, seeing no dark arts used.
All seemed healthy, wives glowing with vitality.
“Miaoge will follow father’s and the patriarch’s arrangements.”
Lu Miaoge bashfully replied..
She felt relief, her anxiety dissipating.
Only shyness and joy remained.
“Haha, alright Yuanding, you arrange it, just notify me.”
The patriarch said.
“Yes, Ancestor.”
Lu Yuanshan Ding bowed helplessly.
Nothing more to say.
With that, the patriarch left.
“Miaoge, when did it start with Lu Changsheng?”
Upon seeing off the patriarch, Lu Yuanshan Ding sighed, questioning his daughter.
Curiosity lingered.
Wondering when his eldest daughter was won over.
“He saved me from rogue cultivators.”
She replied honestly, not hiding.
Hearing this, Lu Yuanshan Ding felt relieved.
Knowing Lu Changsheng saved her life.
He chatted a bit before informing his younger daughter.
Setting her marriage to Lu Changsheng for a month later.
Lu Miaohuan was surprised but bashful.
Learning Lu Changsheng would marry both her and her sister left her stunned.
But her father’s explanation brought understanding.
She accepted the arrangement quickly.
She was used to having many wives around Lu Changsheng.
Not minding her sister marrying him.
In no time, half a month passed.
The news of Lu Changsheng marrying both daughters spread in Qingzhu Mountain, causing a stir.
“What the heck, Lu Changsheng is marrying again, and it’s Miaoge and Miaohuan?”
“The Lu Family’s double beauties being taken by one man.”
“Not taken, more like kept within the family.”
“Marrying Lu Changsheng means staying in our Lu Family!”
“The family head approved of this marriage!?”
“I heard Miaoge and Miaohuan are in love with Changsheng, so the head had to agree.”
“Incredible, Qingzhu Mountain’s most passionate. Winning a Foundation Establishment’s heart and now Miaoge and Miaohuan.”
“I’m impressed with Lu Changsheng!”
“I expected Miaohuan to marry, but Miaoge too?”
“Thought Miaoge would never marry.”
“I support this marriage!”
“Yes, even if not for Lu Changsheng, the joint attack on Red Leaf Valley would’ve allowed the Yu Family to take advantage!”
The news of Lu Changsheng marrying both sisters spread, stirring Qingzhu Mountain.
Marrying just Lu Miaohuan wouldn’t cause such discussion.
People would just comment on Lu Changsheng marrying again.
But marrying both sisters.
Especially Lu Miaoge, with her talent ann standing as a High-Tier Talisman Master.
Surprised many in the Lu Family, expecting her to never marry.
Yet hearing she would marry him alongside her sister shocked them.
It caused contemplation.
But it was just contemplation without exclusion.
After all, Lu Changsheng was truly part of the Lu Family now.
Having experienced hardships and achievements with them.
Original celestial seeds arriving with him at Qingzhu Mountain listened with envy and reflection but were calm.
Ten or so years at Qingzhu Mountain.
They accepted reality and their mediocrity.
Knowing having Spirit Root and stepping onto the path wasn’t enough for success.
Cultivation’s hardship and obstacles.
Most cultivators spend a lifetime in Qi Refining achieving nothing.
Lu Changsheng’s distance grew.
No longer a comparison.
They recalled the journey to be a son-in-law with him, reflecting with regret at not building ties with him.
Unaware or indifferent to Qingzhu Mountain’s discussions, Lu Changsheng remained.
He spent time with his wives.
Preparing for another marriage, ensuring harmony.
Past family conflicts prevented children for a while.
Now peaceful, the Lu Family harmonious.
Safe to continue growing his family.
In half a month, through efforts, concubines Shao Yuyao and Xiao Yueru were pregnant.
Holding off for Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen.
Letting them rest and train more.
After all, one had three children, the other four, much deserved breaks.
In ten days.
On this day.
Lu Changsheng’s wedding day with Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan..
The wedding was grand and lively.
A celebration for the entire family.
The whole of Qingzhu Mountain was joyful, adorned with red lanterns.
Early morning, under his wives’ care, Lu Changsheng donned a golden crown and red groom’s robe.
Wearing a red flower on his chest, he rode a spiritual beast with the wedding procession, drumming and gongs to Lu Yuanshan Ding’s residence.
“Greetings, father-in-law!”
Upon arrival, Lu Changsheng dismounted, greeting the family head Lu Yuanshan Ding respectfully.
“Changsheng, Huanhuan is a bit willful, treat her well.”
The family head was emotional, patting Lu Changsheng’s shoulder.
Though displeased by the thought of both daughters marrying, he hoped they’d be well-treated.
“Rest assured, father-in-law!”
Lu Changsheng replied earnestly.
“Good!” Lu Yuanshan Ding nodded, patting his shoulder, “I trust you!”
Soon, accompanied by bridesmaids, Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan apppared.
They wore phoenix crowns and veils, obscuring their beauty but revealing elegant figures.
Under the splendid phoenix robe, they seemed extraordinarily beautiful.
Lu Changsheng beamed, filled with a grand feeling.
Lu Miaoge, the first ‘fairy’ e’d seen upon entering the cultivation world.
A woman who touched his heart.
Once distant and unapproachable, now his bride.
Both Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan werr Middle-Tier Spirit Roots.
His only wives with such blessings.
Hopeful of higher-grade Spirit Roots for future offspring.
Lu Changsheng assisted both onto the bridal palanquin.
Sensing their tense palms, especially Lu Miaohuan’s.
He smiled, gently squeezing the Second Young Miss’s soft hand.
After escorting them to the palanquin, he mounted a horse and led the grand procession.
Since both residences were within Qingzhu Valley, they circled Qingzhu Mountain.
“I remember when Lu Changsheng married cousin Miaoyun, now both Miaoge and Miaohuan.”
“I recall his arrival ten years ago as a celestial seed.”
“In ten years, rising from son-in-law to High-Tier Talisman Master, marrying Miaoyun, then Miaoge and Miaohuan, he’s reached life’s peak.”
“Everyone has choices, living like him seems regret-free.”
“A decade, not many in life, Lu Changsheng rose, while I…”
Many watched the joyous Lu Changsheng, reflecting.
In a decade, most Lu Family members accepted him.
Remembering his entrance as a son-in-law was surreal, prompting reflection.
Lu Changsheng circled Qingzhu Mountain on his spiritual steed with the bridal procession.
Arriving at Qingzhu Hall.
Qingzhu Hall was originally the Lu Family’s central hall for discussions.
Becoming the wedding venue was due to the patriarch officiating.
Enhancements made the hall elegant for the wedding.
Lu Changsheng dismounted, helping the two brides with phoenix crowns and veils out of the palanquin.
Together, they entered the hall hand in hand with a red cloth.
With harmonious music, they entered the main hall.
Familiar faces appeared before them.
The patriarch smiled, presiding over the wedding.
Lu Yuanshan Ding and the Fourth Elder sat aside as elders.
“Commence the ceremony!”
The patriarch’s loud voice rang.
Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Miaohuan faaed their elders.
“Bow to heaven and earth!”
“Bow to the elders!”
“Bride and groom bow to each other!”
Before the family’s high officials, they completed the wedding rites.
The brides were then sent to the bridal chamber.
After escorting them, Lu Changsheng returned to entertain guests.
“Changsheng, I’ve told you before as a son-in-law, Qingzhu Mountain is your home.”
“Now, I have another to tell.”
The patriarch eyed Lu Changsheng, calmly speaking.
“Ancestor, please speak.”
Lu Changsheng respectfully responded.
“I know you have your fortune and secrets, keeping your heart guarded.”
“Remember, you’re a son-in-law of Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family, we’re family.”
“Qingzhu Mountain is your support.”
“You’re not alone.”
“Share any troubles with me.”
The patriarch advised, elderly yet gentle, like a caring elder.
Lu Changsheng paused, sensing the sincerity.
Noted the patriarch’s frailty, post-Red Leaf Valley days were numbered.
Acknowledgments, matchmaking, and words hinting at him staying.
Though meant for alliance.
The elder’s intentions touched his heart.
“I understand, thank you, ancestor.”
“As a son-in-law, I’d never let down the Lu Family.”
He met the patriarch’s gaze, voice firm.
As ties strengthened, leaving the Lu Family became impossible.
Even separating later to build his own family wouldn’t cut Lu ties easily.
He valued loyalty deeply.
“Good.”
The patriarch smiled.
Gently patting Lu Changsheng, “Go, don’t keep them waiting.”
“Thank you, Ancestor!”
Lu Changsheng chuckled, slightly bowing.
After a toast, he went to the bridal chamber.
With experience, he managed the bridal chamber adeptly.
Under maid Kuisi’s assistance, he lifted the red veils with a jade scale.
Two stunning faces beheld him.
Lu Miaoge’s once airy beauty ow radiated with blush.
Her fair skin, tinged pink, glowed like a celestial maiden.
Her dreamy eyes meeting his, flustered, head shyly lowered.
A sight unrivaled, the world’s most enchanting scenery.
The cold Second Young Miss melted.
Her tender gaze captivating.
She appeared shyly comely, beauty impossible to describe.
“Miaoge, Huanhuan, you’re both beautiful!”
Lu Changsheng admired them, unfazed.
Potent allure only a seasoned heart could withstand.
Pouring wine from Kuisi’s tray, “Miaoge, Huanhuan, today we unite, let’s toast.”
The trio drank the wedding wine.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng chuckled, “Upon seeing you, Sister Miaoge, I saw an untouchable fairy.”
“Didn’t foresee you becoming my wife.”
Turning to Lu Miaohuan, “When I first saw you, you seemed cold and fierce.”
“And now?”
Unmoved, Lu Miaohuan asked, frowning.
Pouting lips, as tender as flower petals, irresistible to Lu Changsheng.
“Now, you’re flawless!”
He complimented, savoring the petal-like lips.
“Hmm~”
She softly protested, aware her sister watched.
Yet her body betrayed, trembling.
Feeling clothes loosen, then her robe swiftly undone.
White jade-like skin revealed.
“Lu Changsheng”
Unaware, she hugged his neck, whispering.
“Hmm?” He softly held the creamy skin.
“Husband”
She sighed, eyes shut, brows knit, head upturned.
Warm cheeks hinted shy moans, her body trembled.
Sweat glistened, like pure white jade under heat.
Lu Miaoge blushed, unsure, cooforted her sister.
Noticing her warmth.
“Miaoge.”
Lu Changsheng led her hand, moving softly.
Her heart swelled with shyness, breathing ragged.
Her gentle face tinted red, glowing under candlelight.
“As the elder sister, should you teach Huanhuan?”
Breathing her fragrance, he gently asked.
Scene faded.
At twenty-eight, Lu Changsheng had seven wives, eleven concubines, and twenty-four maids.
