Chapter 316: The Nine Abyss Mastiff Breaks Through, Li Feiyu Returns!

Lu Changsheng walked out of his Cave Dwelling, feeling refreshed. Only then did he realize that he had been in seclusion for nearly two months.

He took the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman from Ling Zixiao’s hand, and Hong Lian’s voice echoed in his mind, delivering a piece of news.

“Hmm? The Nine Abyss Mastiff reached the second tier?”

A smile appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face.

Although he no longer considered Second-Tier battle strength significant,

His hopes of relying on the Nine Abyss Mastiff to carry him had long since faded.

But still, it was a Second-Tier battle strength!

At least now he had a Foundation Establishment spirit pet to guard the house!

“Yes, Young Master.”

Hong Lian’s voice sounded again from within the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng left Hall of Everlasting Life and asked her to release the newly advanced Nine Abyss Mastiff from the talisman.

“Buzz—”

The Ancient Beast Taming Talisman glowed with radiant colors, and a dark light burst forth—it was the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

The Nine Abyss Mastiff’s body was now enormous, standing over ten feet tall.

Its wolf-like head was terrifying, with a scarlet vertical pupil in its brow, interlocking fangs that were sharp and cold, and an aura that was immensely menacing.

Its fur was dense and pitch-black, but if you brushed it aside, you’d see a layer of horn-like black gold scales, hard and cold.

“Not bad, not bad!”

Lu Changsheng examined the Nine Abyss Mastiff in front of him, stepped forward to stroke its fur, and smiled.

This dog in front of him was his first pet beast. After so much time together, he had developed quite an attachment to it.

“Come on, let’s see how strong you are.”

Lu Changsheng beckoned the Nine Abyss Mastiff with his finger, signaling it to attack him and test its power.

“Awooo—”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff howled at the sky, its demonic energy surging, causing a whirlwind to rise.

This wasn’t just a simple howl.

It was a sonic attack, carrying a terrifyingly fierce aura.

Any ordinary Qi Refining cultivator or demon beast would be so overwhelmed by this howl that their soul would flee, blood would pour from their orifices, and they’d tremble in fear.

“Continue.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, signaling the Nine Abyss Mastiff to keep going.

“Swish—”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff instantly turned into a blur, pouncing towards Lu Changsheng with claws as sharp as daggers, gleaming with a cold light.

“Bang!”

Faced with such an attack, Lu Changsheng remained calm, standing still as he raised his hand to block it.

“Almost at the mid-second tier in body tempering.”

He commented.

A Heaven-Tier bloodline demon beast like the Nine Abyss Mastiff, even just breaking through to the second tier, already possessed power beyond an ordinary Foundation Establishment.

“Roar!”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff’s wolfish maw, filled with interlocking fangs, emitted black ripples that made its teeth glow with an invincible chill.

This was its strongest attack, capable of even biting through Spirit Tools.

Seeing the sharp fangs, Lu Changsheng twitched his mouth, deciding against experiencing a dog bite.

With a flick of his finger, he sent a sword beam towards the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

In an instant, the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s fur bristled like pine needles, emitting a dark glow that diminished the sword beam’s power by thirty percent.

Then, the horn-like scales neutralized the attack, leaving only a few strands of fur floating down.

“Very good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

He was quite pleased with the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s strength—high attack, high defense, and strong vitality.

If it could advance further and awaken its bloodline ability, its power would increase even more.

However, seeing the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s strength reminded him of Immortal Qingluan’s feat of single-handedly fighting three demon kings.

It’s said that the three demon kings all had Heaven-Tier bloodlines and were incredibly powerful.

Comparing them, Immortal Qingluan was indeed impressive.

Even if that so-called single-handed battle was with a Third-Tier mount and five hundred soldiers,

Her power was still undeniable!

“You’ve been in the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman for so long; it’s time to let you out for a while.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Nine Abyss Mastiff before him, stroked his chin, and said.

Although his Sumeru Tree King was guarding his home,

He couldn’t always rely on activating the formation and Sumeru’s help in every situation.

Since that was the case, the Nine Abyss Mastiff should guard the house openly.

Then, Lu Changsheng informed Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge about the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s advancement.

After discussing it, the three decided that the Nine Abyss Mastiff would become the official guardian spirit beast of Bihu Mountain, under the care of the current head of the Lu Family!

This way, the family head could handle situations without needing to inform Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, or Ling Zixiao aboot everything.

Later, Lu Changsheng called Lu Miaoyun and Lu Yun over to nform them about the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

“Xiao Hei has grown so big?”

“Xiao Hei advanced to a Second-Tier demon beast?”

Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao werr calm, already knowing many things about Lu Changsheng.

But Lu Miaoyun and Lu Yun were quie shocked to see the Second-Tier Nine Abyss Mastiff before them.

After all, a Second-Tier demon beast corresponded to a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!

Even though Bihu Mountain now had Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and BBi Ling—four Foundation Establishment cultivators—

Adding a Second-Tier demon beast was still very impressive.

Especially since this Second-Tier demon beast had been treated as an ordinary family dog in Qingzhu Mountain, playing with the children for years.

Now, seeing that pet from the past advance to the second tier made them a bit dazed.

“I’m worse off than a dog.”

Lu Yun vaguely remembered the Nine Abyss Mastiff, as they played together when he was young.

Later, when he grew older, his father sent the Nine Abyss Mastiff to guard the mortal realm, and Lu Yun hadn’t seen it since.

He never expected that after all these years, he had just broken through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, while the big black dog from back then was already a Second-Tier spirit beast.

“Father, I will definitely take good care of Xiao Hei.”

Lu Yun immediately said respectfully.

“Hmm, Xiao Hei is its nickname. Its real name is the Nine Abyss Mastiff.”

Lu Changsheng felt that calling it “Xiao Hei” all the time lowered the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s dignity.

After all, it was a Heaven-Tier demon beast, and now it was the official guardian spirit beast of the Lu Family.

“Nine Abyss Mastiff, got it.”

Lu Yun nodded in agreement.

He also thought the name “Xiao Hei” was too plain.

“What’s this, Xiao He? Do you like it?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Linghe, who was staring blankly at the Nine Abyss Mastiff in Lu Miaoge’s arms, and laughedd

“Yiya, yiya~”

Lu Linghe babbled.

Although Lu Changsheng didn’t understand baby talk, he still pinched her fair little cheeks and said, “When you grow up, Daddy will get you one too!”

Based on the current draw, most of the pets he obtained were cubs.

But he probably wouldn’t need these cubs himself.

So, he might as well give them to his children as pets.

In the future, every Lu Family prodigy would have a Heaven-Tier spirit pet!

“Xiao He, thank your daddy.”

Ling Zixiao, holding her son, smiled and said to her daughter.

Although she didn’t know where Lu Changsheng got these Top-Tier demon beast cubs,

If their children could grow up with such a demon beast, it would greatly benefit their future cultivation!

“Yiya, yiya~”

Lu Linghe babbled.

Although only a few months old, it was clear that this daughter was much livelier than her brother, Lu Lingxiao.

This reminded Lu Changsheng of his son Lu Qingshan and daughter Lu Qingzhu back in the day.

One was lively, the other quiet.

The sky was light, and there wasn’t a cloud in sight.

“Screech!”

A black-feathered, golden-beaked eagle soared through the sky, crossing the star-studded mountains and diving down.

“This is Bihu Mountain?”

On the eagle, a middle-aged man in his forties with a heroic face and dressed in a black brocade robe looked ahead at the vast expanse of mountains and the emerald Bihu Mountain, and spoke.

Moments later, the eagle descended outside Bihu Mountain, stirring up a gust of wind.

“Who are you? What business do you have at Bihu Mountain?”

The disciples guarding the mountain gate saw the newcomer and immediately asked.

One of the Lu Family disciples, dressed in Bihu Mountain attire, saw the heroic-looking black-robed man and was surprised, hesitantly saying, “Are you… Uncle Li?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Li Feiyu smiled upon seeing the disciple recognize him.

But he couldn’t recall the disciple’s name at the moment.

When he left all those years ago, except for Lu Ping’an and a few others who were teenagers, most of the children were still very young.

Now, more than twenty years had passed, and these children had grown up.

Even though he was a cultivator with an extraordinary memory, he couldn’t fully recognize their childhood features.

“Uncle Li, please wait a moment. I’ll go notify the family head, my father.”

The Lu Family disciple said.

Although he recognized Li Feiyu, he still followed protocol and didn’t open the mountain gate immediately, but went to inform the family head.

At the Lu Family Mansion.

“Great, our Zhenzhen is amazing!”

Lu Changsheng was accompanying Qu Zhenzhen and Bai Ling.

He learned that Qu Zhenzhen had completed the cleansing of the Auspicious Tree and had begun refining it.

As for Lu Miaohuan, due to the higher difficulty of the Bizarre Prison Demon Flower, it would take her much longer to complete the cleansing.

Just then, Lu Yun arrived outside the hall, announcing that Li Feiyu had returned.

“Uncle Li?”

Lu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, then reacted with surprise and joy, “You said Feiyu is back?”

“Yes, it’s Li Feiyu, Uncle Li.”

Lu Yun nodded.

He knew that his father had a good relationship with Li Feiyu, but he didn’t know the details.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and immediately flew out of Biyun Peak, heading towards the mountain gate.

Back then, the “Avatar Talisman” had given him a sense of Li Feiyu’s situation, and he had been worried about him ever since.

Now, knowing that he had returned safely, Lu Changsheng was overjoyed.

“Mountain Lord, Father!”

The disciples guarding the mountain gate bowed when they saw Lu Changsheng.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, opened the mountain gate, and smiled at the tall, heroic-looking Li Feiyu in his black brocade robe outside, “Feiyu, you finally returned.”

“An unexpected situation caused a delay.”

Li Feiyu said with some emotion.

He naturally remembered the time he had promised to return.

So, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment and settling matters in Qingluan Immortal City, he immediately rushed back.

“It seems the unexpected situation was a good thing. Congratulations on your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng, whose Divine Sense had already surpassed that of an average peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, immediately noticed Li Feiyu’s breakthrough.

“Foundation Establishment!?”

The others nearby were shocked to hear this and looked at Li Feiyu in surprise.

They hadn’t expected him to become a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!

Their eyes instantly showed more respect.

“It was just luck. I wouldn’t have been able to break through to Foundation Establishment without your help, Changsheng.”

Li Feiyu said.

“Oh, it has something to do with me?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

He didn’t ask further and invited Li Feiyu into Bihu Mountain.

“This Bihu Mountain, nestled between mountains and water, is really beautiful.”

As they flew towards Biyun Peak, Li Feiyu admired the scenery.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had wandered the world for many years, he had gained some experience.

He could tell that Bihu Mountain’s environment and spiritual energy were excellent.

“Haha, it is indeed.”

Lu Changsheng laughed and introduced his family’s situation to his friend: “The peak ahead is Biyun Peak, the main branch of the Lu Family.”

“That one is Lingcui Cliff, where our family’s herb gardens are. That one is Bishui Lake, where we raise aquatic creatures. You might have heard of the Red Blood Carp and Azure Blood Carp, but recently I’ve also been raising some aquatic spirit beasts.”

“You really live a carefree life, Changsheng. Your family is already well-organized.”

Li Feiyu sighed as he listened and looked around.

Over the years, he had often wondered whether he should give up the wandering life and settle down.

For a rogue cultivator, the ultimate dream was probably to have their own spiritual land and not have to drift around.

“Now that you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, if you want, you can find a spiritual land and establish a family like I did.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Let’s talk about that later.”

Li Feiyu shook his head slightly.

Although he found this kind of life appealing, he didn’t have such plans.

Especially now that he had just gained the opportunity to join Qingluan Guard under Immortal Qingluan.

If he seized this chance, he had the potential to advance to mid or late Foundation Establishment in the future!

“Alright, Bihu Mountain is always open to you.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t press further.

He could see that Li Feiyu was deeply committed to his path.

Such people generally wouldn’t stop and choose a comfortable life.

The two arrived at Biyun Peak.

“Nephew greets Uncle Li.”

Lu Yun was waiting outside and immediately bowed when he saw Li Feiyu.

Although his memory was vague and he didn’t fully recognize Li Feiyu, he could still identify him.

“This is Lu Yun. You should remember him, Feiyu.”

Lu Changsheng said to Li Feiyu.

“So, it’s Lu Yun. I didn’t realize how much you’ve grown.”

Li Feiyu, knowing that Lu Yun was the son of the Fourth Elder, Lu Miaoyun, felt a bit nostalgc.

He hadn’t returned home yet.

Now, more than twenty years had passed, and his children had likely grown up and started their own families.

He took out a bracelet from his Storage Bag and said, “Here, this is a gift from Uncle Li.”

“Haha, Feiyu, you don’t need to be so polite. Otherwise, your Storage Bag won’t be enough for all the gifts.”

Lu Changsheng joked.

“This is a rare occasion. First come, first served.”

Li Feiyu laughed and handed the bracelet to Lu Yun.

But Lu Yun wasn’t sure if he should accept it.

“Since it’s from Uncle Li, Yun’er, you should take it.”

Seeing his honest son hesitate, Lu Changsheng spoke up.

He wasn’t one for formalities.

The two entered the Lu Family Mansion.

Lu Changsheng briefly introduced Li Feiyu.

Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and ohers were surprised to see Li Feiyu and learn that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment.

After all, in the Qingyun Region, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was considered a patriarch!

Li Feiyu, with his lower-Tier Spirit Root, had once been a live-in son-in-law at Qingzhu Mountain, struggling for years.

Now, after returning from his journey, he had broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Especially Lu Miaoyun.

She was from Qingzhu Mountain and knew how difficult it was to reach Foundation Establishment.

Qingzhu Mountain had struggled for years just to maintain its Foundation Establishment lineage until now.

Who would have thought that among the batch of immortal seedlings brought back by Uncle Lu Yuanshan Ding, both Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu would become Foundation Establishment cultivators!

If this got out, it would be astonishing!

“Tsk.”

Seeing so many women and children at home, Li Feiyu thought that his good brother had really stayed true to himself over the years.

He couldn’t help but feel envious, even though he had a firm heart on the path of cultivation, seeing Lu Changsheng living such a life, easily reaching Foundation Establishment.

But deep down, he was happy for his good brother’s success.

Soon, someone arranged a meal, and the two went to a side hall to catch up.

“It was all a matter of fate.”

Li Feiyu picked up his wine cup and began to recount his experiences: “I was in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range when I encountered an old enemy who chased me down. Then, I ran into a Second-Tier demon beast blocking my way.”

“In that situation, death seemed certain, but fortunately, I had the talisman you gave me, which saved my life.”

“Then, the talisman transported me deep into the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. But guess what?”

Li Feiyu said.

“…”

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

He had guessed that if Li Feiyu encountered danger in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, the Avatar Talisman might transport him deeper into the mountains, which could be even more dangerous.

And it turned out exactly that way.

“Did you end up in some cave or secret realm or find some treasure?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

“That’s right, but at the time, you couldn’t have guessed what happened.”

Li Feiyu took a bite of food and continued, “Remember that treasure map you had of an ancient ruin? I was transported right outside the ruin marked on the map.”

“Impressive.”

Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment before saying.

In both stories and the cultivation world, Li Feiyu’s luck was akin to that of a protagonist.

He continued to ask, “The ruin is deep within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. Wasn’t it dangerous?”

The treasure map had information about the ruin, hinting at many hidden dangers.

It wouldn’t have been easy for Li Feiyu, still in the Qi Refining stage, to gain anything from it.

“No, I didn’t explore the ruin. I happened to meet Immortal Qingluan there.”

Li Feiyu said.

“Immortal Qingluan!? The first rogue cultivator in Jiang Kingdom, the lord of Qingluan Immortal City?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned and surprised.

“Yes, so I traded the information on the treasure map for a chance to break through to Foundation Establishment!”

“Immortal Qingluan also promised that if I broke through to Foundation Establishment, I could join Qingluan Guard. If I failed, she would give me a sum of Spirit Stones.”

Li Feiyu nodded.

As he spoke, he took out a Storage Bag and said, “Changsheng, I owe this opportunity to you. This is a token of my gratitude. Please don’t think it’s too little.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Lu Changsheng, still marveling at Li Feiyu’s luck, waved his hand and said, “Feiyu, you’re being too formal. You’ve just broken through to Foundation Establishment and need resources. There’s no need for this.”

“Please accept it, Changsheng, or I won’t be at peace.”

Li Feiyu said seriously, placing the Storage Bag in front of Lu Changsheng.

These Spirit Stones were what he had gained after breaking through to Foundation Establishment and avenging himself by killing Zhu He.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment before nodding.

Then he suddenly remembered rumors about Immortal Qingluan and asked, “Feiyu, I’ve heard that Immortal Qingluan was seriously injured. Is that true?”

“Did she get hurt while exploring that ancient ruin?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“That rumor might be true, or it could have been deliberately spread by Qingluan Immortal City.”

“I swore an oath to my heart demon not to reveal what happened inside the ruin.”

Li Feiyu said quietly.

“Qingluan Immortal City deliberately spread it.”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, finding Li Feiyu’s words intriguing.

He pondered, “I remember that Immortal Qingluan is quite old, right?”

“Yes, the city lord became famous two hundred years ago. She should be three to four hundred years old now.”

“So, there’s a rumor that the city lord has long reached the peak of Golden Core and has been aiming for Nascent Soul.”

Li Feiyu said with some emotion.

It was legendary for a rogue cultivator to reach such heights and still aim for Nascent Soul.

“Three to four hundred years old…”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Once a Golden Core cultivator passed three hundred and fifty years, their chances of forming a Nascent Soul would decrease.

By the time they were over four hundred years old, it was almost impossible.

Immortal Qingluan couldn’t afford to delay any longer. Everything she had done over the years was likely in preparation for forming a Nascent Soul.

“Forming a Nascent Soul is no easy task. In our Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, only the Heavenly Sword Sect has a Fourth-Tier spiritual vein.”

Lu Changsheng sipped his wine and continued.

He had discussed this with Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue before.

He knew that in the entire Jiang Kingdom, only the Heavenly Sword Sect had the foundation to nurture a Nascent Soul with their Fourth-Tier spiritual vein!

Even the Azure Cloud Sect, Sunset Glow Sect, and Spirit Control Sect only had Top-Tier Third-Tier spiritual veins.

And the Heavenly Sword Sect would never lend their spiritual veins to Immortal Qingluan for her breakthrough.

“That’s right. Qingluan Immortal City’s spiritual vein, after years of cultivation, is still only a Top-Tier Third-Tier. It’s far from a Fourth-Tier.”

“And Qingluan Immortal City is located on the border of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, between Jiang Kingdom and Yue Kingdom. Neither side would want the city lord to form a Nascent Soul.”

Li Feiyu shook his head.

He had long admired Immortal Qingluan’s deeds and charisma.

Now, as a member of Qingluan Immortal City, his respect for this legendary figure had only grown.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Lu Changsheng sighed, realizing how difficult it was to break through to Nascent Soul.

For a rogue cultivator in Jiang Kingdom, there was still a chance to reach Golden Core.

But breaking through to Nascent Soul was almost impossible without leaving the country to find opportunities.

He would face the same problem in the future when he tried to form a Nascent Soul.

But that was still far off. He hadn’t even considered the Golden Core stage yet.

“Feiyu, now that you’ve joined Qingluan Immortal City, do you plan to return there afterward?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“Yes, after I settle things at home, I’ll return.”

Li Feiyu said with a heavy heart.

To pursue the Dao, he couldn’t afford too many emotional entanglements.

He had come back to take care of all his family matters.

“Alright, when you head to Ruyi County, I’ll go with you.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Now that his Lu Family had some influence in Ruyi County,

And since his children were married into Li Feiyu’s family, it was time for a visit.

“Alright.”

Li Feiyu nodded.

Li Feiyu stayed at Bihu Mountain for three days before leaving with Lu Changsheng for Ruyi County.

Qu Zhenzhen, having completed the refining of the Auspicious Tree, couldn’t leave Bihu Mountain once she started cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique.

So, she went along, planning to visit her parents’ graves in Zhoushan Prefecture.

And Lu Wangshu, having overheard, was curious and wanted to visit her mundane family’s home as well.

So, Lu Changsheng took his wife, children, and Li Feiyu to Ruyi County.

The group’s arrival in Ruyi County caused quite a stir in the Li family and among Hong Yi and others.

After all, Li Feiyu had returned after more than twenty years!

When Li Feiyu’s wife and children saw him, they could hardly believe it was him.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng sighed at the sight.

Faced with this situation, Li Feiyu entrusted his family to Lu Changsheng, hoping he would help take care of them in the future.

Then, he left some pills, talismans, and a basic cultivation manual for his father and brothers.

Hong Yi, upon learning of Li Feiyu’s Foundation Establishment breakthrough, felt a mix of emotions.

He remembered when the six of them took the immortal sect entrance exam together, and now four of them had reached Foundation Establishment!

They had become exalted Foundation Establishment grand cultivators!

Although Han Lin hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment,

His Equipment Refining skills and status as a sect disciple made him far superior to Hong Yi.

“If I hadn’t focused on power and affairs and had devoted myself to cultivation, could I have reached Foundation Establishment?”

Hong Yi wondered.

He suspected that Zhao Qingqing’s Foundation Establishment was related to Lu Changsheng.

And now, hearing that Li Feiyu’s breakthrough was also thanks to Lu Changsheng,

He couldn’t help but think that if he had cultivated diligently, he might have reached Foundation Establishment too.

But after some thought, he realized that he lacked Li Feiyu’s determination to give up everything for cultivation.

Even at the ninth layer, with a Foundation Establishment Pill, he had little chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment!

In the Black Cloud Mountain Range,

Deep within a mine,

“Miss Lu, why do this?”

“Bihu Mountain treats you well, but from what I hear, you’re not valued there. Your chances of reaching Foundation Establishment are slim.”

“If you agree to cooperate with White Tiger Mountain, the Zhao Family is willing to give you ten percent of this Spirit Stone mine’s profits.”

“And if you marry into the Zhao Family, you’ll not only have plenty of resources, but you’ll also get a Foundation Establishment material in the future!”

The Zhao Family elder looked at the bound Lu Ruyi and tried to persuade her.

He hadn’t expected her to notice something wrong with the mine so quickly.

Moreover, she had used a stealth talisman to sneak in and discover the Spirit Stone mine hidden by the formation.

“Zhao Elder, if you release me now, I can pretend this never happened.”

“If not, and something happens to me, my family will investigate, and your Zhao Family won’t escape responsibility.”

Lu Ruyi said coldly.

Although she had an Eighth-Tier Spirit Root and her mother was a concubine, making her not very valued in the family,

Her family environment was at least good, with no scheming or dirty tricks.

Her brothers, Lu Ping’an and Lu Xian’er, were quite protective of their sister.

And the family not only provided her and her siblings with generous resources but also offered various choices and lifestyles, far better than other families.

She knew that in most families, someone with her talent would be married off to another family.

But in Bihu Mountain’s Lu Family, she had the right to choose!

Especially now, when many small families around considered it an honor to marry into the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain!

The Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain was nothing to her!

“Miss Lu, I advise you to think it over carefully.”

“After all, the Black Cloud Mountain Range is full of demon beasts. If you encounter danger here and are devoured by one, it would be quite normal.”

Seeing that his kind words were ignored, the Zhao Family elder coldly threatened.

Then he ordered two family members to keep a close watch on Lu Ruyi.
