Chapter 468: Slow to Warm Up? Elder Lu Doesn’t Think So!

“Misty Rain Market.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the Market in front of him. Instead of informing Yu Fei, he paid two Spirit Stones and entered with an identity plaque.

After strolling around the Market briefly, he had a general understanding of the area.

This place was an average small-to-medium Market, mainly for wandering cultivators.

The flow of people was similar to Hongye Valley Marketplace in its earlier days.

“But for these two women to rise from common wandering cultivators to this level, they must have some skill.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, then took out a Jade Talisman from his Storage Ring and crushed it.

A moment later, two silhouettes riding beams of light arrived at the central peak of the Market.

One was around thirty years old, tall with a graceful figure, dressed in a smoke-blue gown.

Although her features were attractive, her slender brows, straight nose, wheat-colored skin, and the heroic spirit between her brows made her lack a certain ‘feminine charm.’

The other woman was entirely different.

She looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, had fair skin, a relatively petite figure, and was dressed in a light blue gauze skirt. A cinched waist ribbon drew her slim waist tight, and long legs were wrapped in black stockings, with her feet in black boots.

Her silky black hair was styled into a cloud bun with a light blue jade hairpin stuck in it. She wore shimmering gemstone earrings, and a slight smile graced her cute face.

“Greetings to the Head of the Market.”

“Greetings to the Deputy Head!”

The wandering cultivators and the law enforcement cultivators in the Market were immediately struck by awe, admiration, or envy when they saw the two women arrive. They all bowed in unison, bewildered as to why both heads appeared together.

“Fellow Daoist, who are you from the Lu Family?”

Yan Lan and Yu Fei nodded slightly before looking at the ordinary-looking young man in front of them and asked.

Lu Changsheng chuckled and let light engulf his body, undoing the disguise.

At once, his previously unimpressive appearance transformed, becoming graceful like jade and extraordinarily handsome.

The simple yet elegant green robe he wore highlighted his tall, straight posture, making him appear like an ethereal and otherworldly immortal.

Not only did women stop in their tracks to look at him, but even men couldn’t help but take a second glance.

“Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng.”

Lu Changsheng’s face was as handsome as jade, and his eyes were bright as stars. His voice was warm.

“Greetings, Elder Lu!”

“What? He’s the elder of the Lu Family at Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng!”

“Lower your voice! The name of Elder Lu isn’t something we can call out casually!”

“Who would’ve imagined such an otherworldly handsome man exists in this world!”

Every cultivator present, whether male or female, looked at Lu Changsheng in shock, awe, and reverence.

Many female cultivators stared at him with captivated gazes, as if their very souls were enchanted by this ethereal young man.

Even the two heads of Misty Rain Market momentarily blanked out when they saw Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng’s presence was too ethereal, making it impossible not to feel a sense of awe and admiration when looking at him.

“No wonder Fei’er is willing to become Elder Lu’s concubine.”

Yan Lan’s mind suddenly cleared.

She had seen Elder Lu’s appearance before.

He was indeed handsome.

But the portrait didn’t capture even half of the elegance and charm of the person before her.

His long, beautiful eyes resembled an ink painting, deep and starry, as if they carried some kind of magic. His evenly balanced features gave people a feeling of spring wind, making them subconsciously want to get closer.

“Elder Lu, it is an honor for you to visit. Please forgive us for the lack of appropriate reception. This way, please.”

Yu Fei’s beautiful eyes shimmered with sparkling light as she smiled and gestured for him to proceed.

“You’re too kind, Head Yu.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile and walked gracefully with the two women towards the Misty Rain Peak.

Though the two women weren’t considered stunningly beautiful, their looks, figures, and temperaments were all quite admirable. Enough to catch the eye of Elder Lu.

Moreover, after seeing through so much, Lu Changsheng was no longer that concerned about such matters.

“It’s said the Market is affiliated with Bihu Mountain’s Lu Family. Seems it’s true.”

“Not only that, I heard the condition was that the Deputy Head would marry Elder Lu as a concubine.”

“I heard it was actually our Deputy Head who volunteered to marry him!”

“No way! Don’t you insult my goddess! The Head would never do something like that unless the Market was forced by Elder Lu!”

As they saw Lu Changsheng leaving with the two heads, the Market cultivators burst into discussion.

“Waaaah! My Deputy Head! I wonder if I’ll ever see the Head again in the future.”

“Elder Lu already has so many wives and concubines. How can he still take another concubine? This is unfair!”

“Brother, don’t say that. Even without Elder Lu, the Head wouldn’t be interested in any of us.”

Many cultivators felt frustrated and unwilling.

In Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Yan Lan and Yu Fei were just average.

But in the eyes of the Market’s cultivators, they were goddesses, lofty and untouchable.

Now that their goddesses were about to marry someone else as a concubine, they couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

“I wonder if Elder Lu plans to take another concubine this time. Is there a chance I might catch his eye?”

“If I could serve Elder Lu, I’d be willing even to be just a maid, never mind a concubine.”

“I heard Elder Lu rarely takes concubines now. With our looks and talents, it’s unlikely we could catch his eye.”

“Alas, if only I’d been born fifty years earlier. They say even women of average talent and looks were accepted as concubines by Elder Lu in the past.”

“Yes, back then, there might’ve been a slim chance.”

Not just the male cultivators, many female cultivators watched Lu Changsheng’s retreating figure with longing eyes.

They thought about staying in the Market a bit longer, hoping they’d be lucky enough to be noticed by Elder Lu.

Lu Changsheng, Yan Lan, and Yu Fei arrived at the Misty Rain Pavilion.

The ambiance was elegant, full of poetic charm.

Shortly after they sat down, a maid brought in plates of spiritual fruits and delicious dishes.

“If the hospitality isn’t up to par, please forgive us, Elder Lu.”

The Deputy Head, in her light blue gauze skirt, was very warm to Lu Changsheng, pouring wine for him with a soft, gentle voice.

Seeing her sister so cheerful and unreserved in front of Elder Lu made Yan Lan’s heart ache with a touch of bitterness.

She knew her sister had remained unmarried all these years in hopes of finding an ideal partner.

With Yu Fei’s cultivation, looks, and status, many Foundation Establishment Elders naturally pursued her as a Dao partner.

But none of them had either the looks or the backing that Yu Fei wanted. That’s why she’d delayed until now.

Now, even before Elder Lu had said anything, her sister was already so proactive and enthusiastic.

It was simply…

But she more or less understood.

Her sister was always a sucker for good-looking men, with especially high standards.

And this Elder Lu, whether in looks, cultivation, talent, or status, was an exceptional choice.

Even she, with her normally indifferent heart to men, felt a stir seeing his astonishingly handsome face.

In the hall, the three chatted merrily.

The topic shifted from Market conditions to the Sima Family, the cultivation world, the Lu Family’s commerce, personal experiences, and more.

At this point, Lu Changsheng took out the gift he’d prepared.

It was the High-Tier Breaking Stage Pill he had obtained from Real Man Chiyan in his early years.

He’d heard from Lu Miaoyun that the Head of th Market had been stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for years and was seeking High-Tier Breaking Stage Pills to break through to the late stage.

So Lu Changsheng thought of this pill.

Though the pill was precious, he still had two others.

Besides, raising Misty Rain Market’s strength would be beneficial for his family.

Once word spread that Yan Lan had advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage, other forces would likely guess that the Breaking Stage Pill came from his family.

“Thank you, Lu-lang~”

In that moment, Head Yu’s eyes became misty, full of affectionate tenderness as she looked at Lu Changsheng.

Had her sister not been present, she would’ve almost thrown herself into his arms.

Meanwhile, Yan Lan started to feel like she couldn’t fit into the conversation, a wave of heartache washing over her.

“Lu-lang, I can’t handle much alcohol. Please escort me back to rest.”

All three had consumed quite a bit of spirit wine.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators could get slightly tipsy from the Second-Tier spirit wine.

Yu Fei didn’t use her Spiritual Energy to refine the alcohol, making her fair jade-like face flush a light pink, appearing delicate and tempting.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly and supported her exquisite figure, catching a whiff of her rich fragrance.

He even felt her ample chest lightly press against his arm.

Others say women are slow to warm up, but Elder Lu didn’t think so.

The two walked out of the hall, heading towards a Cave Dwelling.

Yan Lan watched this, seeing them off, feeling not just a wave of heartache, but also a sense of loss.

It was as if she were watching the sister she had always been close to embracing someone else’s arms, about to be taken away.

And it was also like an older, single woman seeing her best friend find her ideal partner, feeling a mix of emotions.

When Lu Changsheng and Yu Fei arrived at the Cave Dwelling, the usually composed and pure Deputy Head had practically melted into Lu Changsheng’s embrace, eyes soft and alluring.

“Lu-lang, am I beautiful?”

Yu Fei’s cheeks were flushed pink, the light blue gauze skirt disheveled and her black hair in a cloud bun pulled loose.

Though her figure wasn’t as tall and graceful as her sister Yan Lan, it was certainly curvy and delicate.

Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything, opting to respond with action instead.

Since she was being so forward, Elder Lu naturally didn’t like to waste time.

“Mm~”

A moment later, the Deputy Head’s gauze skirt was in disarray, her flushed face showing signs of resistance. She seemed to push away Lu Changsheng slightly.

But when it came to a woman’s final bit of reservation, Lu Changsheng was well-versed. He deftly undid her skirt and ripped her black stockings, his voice gentle as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

Yan Lan, her emotions in turmoil, returned to her Cave Dwelling. She stared at the once comforting and cozy dwelling but felt a knot of frustration and bitterness in her chest.

She thought about how she usually went to her sister whenever she had any issue.

And her sister always helped ease her worries.

But now…

She lifted her teacup and drank.

The Spirit Tea, usually smooth and refreshing, now tasted somewhat bitter.

“Ah.”

She stared blankly for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

She thought she had already accepted that her sister would eventually get married.

But now that the day had come, she still couldn’t let go.

After stepping out of her Cave Dwelling, she looked up at the clear blue sky and suddenly, almost against her will, found herself outside her sister’s Cave Dwelling.

Though their dwellings were both inside the Misty Rain Pavilion and warded off, Yu Fei must’ve forgotten to reset the barriers after drinking and entering with Elder Lu, allowing faint sounds of activity and pleasure to escape the cave.

Yan Lan’s slender brows knit as her cheeks flushed with heat. She hadn’t expected them to be so intimate so quickly.

This Elder Lu was really in a hurry.

But recalling her sister’s earlier enthusiasm, she wondered if it was her sister who took the initiative. A wave of bitterness welled up in her.

She sighed and turned to leave, looking forlorn.

But after just a few steps, her pace halted abruptly. Curious, she wanted to know what her sister looked like now.

Though she understood matters between men and women, and even knew about same-sex relations.

But she had never witnessed such a thing, nor seen how her sister acted in such a situation.

After thinking a bit more, she hesitated, then a magical Artifact appeared in her hand.

She slowly extended a strand of Divine Sense into the Cave Dwelling.

The next moment, she saw the scene inside the dwelling.

Her sister’s hair was messy, her skirt half undone, exposing large swaths of snow-white skin. Her slender arms were braced against the bed.

Though she had guessed, seeing this scene still felt like a heavy blow, filling her with overwhelming bitterness.

“Huh?”

Lu Changsheng, who was holding the Deputy Head by her waist, suddenly sensed a faint trace of Divine Sense.

Though it was barely perceptible and difficult to detect.

Having awakened the Taiyi Soul, his Divine Sense had long since reached the peak of Golden Core Formation, so detecting such subtle signs was easy.

“Yan Lan?”

Lu Changsheng’s mind felt slightly strange.

He hadn’t expected the head of the Market to be outside, observing.

Could it be that the two heads of Misty Rain Market had some kind of special preference?

However, in the next moment, he noticed that Yan Lan’s breathing outside was erratic, her face swirling with bitterness, sorrow, shame, and… yearning?

“Wait, this looks a little like… being cucked?”

As a pure love warlord, Lu Changsheng knew a bit about being cuckolded.

Back when he was gathering concubines, some young men saw their goddesses marry him as concubines and drank with sour expressions.

Yan Lan’s current look was just like that, if not even worse!

“But the problem is, aren’t these two sisters?”

Lu Changsheng faintly guessed what might be going on.

He had looked at the information on Misty Rain Market before.

He knew that although Yan Lan and Yu Fei were not blood sisters, they were closer than many real sisters.

Since the establishment of Misty Rain Market, there had never been any struggles over interests between them.

He had previously marveled at their deep sisterly bond.

And now, he couldn’t help but marvel again, so close, so loving!

Yu Fei closed her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes trembling lightly, and her temples were damp with sweat.

Suddenly noticing Lu Changsheng’s slight movement, she asked in a soft, sweet voice, “Lu-lang, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. Your sister seems to be outside.”

Lu Changsheng, who always respected women, and since it was their first meeting, chose not to lie to her and spoke softly.

“???”

Yu Fei’s delicate body trembled violently, and her legs, adorned with black boots, went weak.

She couldn’t believe her sister was outside!

Though her sister had long prepared for her marriage, Yu Fei fully understood her sister’s nature. It wouldn’t be that easy for her to let go of her emotions. She’d still be a little upset, and Yu Fei was planning to visit her later.

But who would have thought her sister would come now, of all times?

And what was she doing outside?

Wait a minute!

At this moment, she also realized she had forgotten to reset the barrier when she entered the Cave Dwelling.

“Lu-lang…”

She quickly tried to signal to stop.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind. Let’s continue.”

Lu Changsheng, holding onto her curvaceous waist, considerately took a heavy, forceful thrust.

This was the first time Lu Changsheng had encountered such a situation, and a strange sense of enjoyment washed over him.

Yu Fei: “???”

You may not care, but I do!

But for some strange reason, knowing her sister was outside watching her now made a surge of different emotions rise within her. Her soft body quivered uncontrollably.

Yan Lan: “???”

Lu Changsheng and Yu Fei’s conversation wasn’t transmitted by Divine Sense, so Yan Lan naturally heard it.

Originally, she was filled with shame and anger, wanting to leave immediately and find a rock to crawl under.

But after hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, a burst of resentment flared in her chest.

This Elder Lu had no sense of shame, absolutely shameless!

Knowing she was outside, yet he acted like he didn’t care at all!

He even seemed to increase his efforts with her sister!

What was this? A challenge!?

Having come so far, Yan Lan was one to rise to a challenge, stubborn to the bone.

Usually, Yu Fei could persuade her.

But at this moment, a surge of defiance flooded her, wondering just how long this Elder Lu could hold on, how far he could go!

Wait, didn’t her sister already pour tea for the Lu Family’s matriarch, so it wasn’t really an affair…

As she lost herself in thought, Lu Changsheng had already adjusted his posture while holding Yu Fei.

Initially, Elder Lu had been gentle and slow, given it was Yu Fei’s first time.

But with the current situation, Elder Lu abandoned any restraint and showcased his skills.

Yu Fei’s face was already flushed red, her eyes misty, on the brink of tears, unable to speak.

Even though she knew her sister was outside, she couldn’t bring herself to say a word. Instead, a sense of strange excitement welled up inside her heart.

She wondered whether she looked beautiful like this.

Outside the cave, Yan Lan’s breathing quickened, her face burning with heat.

Though her heart was filled with unbearable bitterness, there was also fury, feeling as if her sister was being utterly… mistreated.

Usually, she and her sister…

It felt like her heart was being torn apart; the pain was unbearable.

At that moment, she saw Lu Changsheng holding her sister, moving towards the outer part of the cave.

Clear in her view, her usually playful, graceful, and dignified sister’s face now resembled a peach blossom, indescribably beautiful.

Moreover, there was an unprecedented charm in her expression, her beauty reaching greater heights than ever before.

“Mm~”

Yu Fei’s eyes half-opened and half-closed, as if she saw through the cave walls to her sister watching outside.

Her flushed face filled with both shame and a thrill of excitement, her delicate feet in black boots curled tightly, trembling fiercely.

Outside, Yan Lan’s hands clenched into fists, her emotions tangled.

The sister whom she had always seen as her own was now being treated like this.

Within her heart, beyond the blend of shame, anger, and jealousy, a strange new feeling arose.

“Huff, huff, huff!”

Her body limp and heated, Yan Lan took a few deep breaths and finally chose to leave.

The impact of the day had been overwhelming.

Even though she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, having overcome countless challenges, she couldn’t bear to witness this any further.

The unknown song of life from within the Cave Dwelling continued for who knows how long.

Lu Changsheng, feeling refreshed, held the collapsed Yu Fei in his arms.

Her snow-white skin glistened with sweat, her body like soft, melted cream, lying boneless in his embrace.

Yu Fei gasped for breath. It took her a long time to recover.

Her face filled with shame and frustration; she softly whispered, “How will I face my sister after this…”

Though she had felt a mix of shame, excitement, and resistance earlier.

But faced with Elder Lu’s techniques, she had no strength left to resist.

After this battle, she even began to suspect that Elder Lu wasn’t merely at the late Foundation Establishment stage but had also cultivated in Body Tempering.

After all, apart from her mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, she also possessed Top-Tier first-level Body Tempering strength.

Yet, even with all this, she was still pushed to her limits.

“Stopping midway would’ve made it truly awkward. Just act as if nothing happened afterward.”

“Besides, she was the one peeping on us. If she doesn’t feel embarrassed, why should we?”

Lu Changsheng placed her on the bed and pulled her into his arms, speaking with nonchalant composure.

After the deep conversation, their relationship naturally grew warmer.

“…”

Yu Fei’s face was filled with shame and frustration, thinking she couldn’t possibly not feel embarrassed.

“I noticed that Fei’er seemed to enjoy it quite a bit during that moment.”

Lu Changsheng pinched her soft, smooth skin and whispered.

Elder Lu had long become adept at discerning people’s feelings.

He could easily tell something was off during the process.

In his heart, he was certain that these two sisters had already crossed paths in their relationship long ago.

“Lu-lang, stop talking…”

Yu Fei’s face was full of shame and frustration.

As the Deputy Head of Misty Rain Market, many of the Market’s affairs were decided by her alone. She wasn’t someone who got shy easily.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to face Elder Lu so calmly, or even take the initiative to present herself.

But today’s events were simply too much… too stimulating.

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly and stopped talking. The two held each other quietly, resting.

After resting for a while, Yu Fei buried her head in Lu Changsheng’s strong chest, her emotions gradually calming down, realizing an amusing thought.

This Elder Lu, facing such a situation, still acted this way. Could it be… he had designs on her sister as well?

The thought popped into her mind, and suddenly, it seemed highly plausible.

After all, this Elder Lu was famous.

With her own and her sister’s reputations, how could he not have some interest in her sister!

Moreover, their tight bond must make many men harbor a desire to conquer both.

Recalling the previous events, a strange feeling of excitement welled up in Yu Fei’s heart again, causing her to lightly rub her legs together.

But thinking of her sister’s situation, a hint of sadness came over her again.
