Chapter 477: Nangong Yaoyao: My Dad is Incredible!

“Don’t be afraid, your dad is here.”

The gentle, rich voice was like a spring breeze brushing against Nangong Yaoyao’s ears, making her momentarily dazed. A surge of unprecedented comfort and calm filled her heart.

She lifted her head slightly and stared blankly at Lu Changsheng in front of her.

Even though she already knew Lu Changsheng was her father, the sudden recognition still left her a bit dazed and confused.

“Are you really my dad?”

Nangong Yaoyao’s lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement, surprise, joy, nervousness, and longing, all at once.

“Didn’t you already guess it?”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he spoke, no longer hiding his aura.

Immediately, a bloodline connection formed between the father and daughter. It created a strange, warm resonance, filling the air with familiarity.

“Huh? You’re Nangong Mili’s man?”

When the Wind Centipede Emissary heard this, he was also a bit surprised.

After taking a few glances at Lu Changsheng, he chuckled softly, “I didn’t expect Nangong Mili to pick such a man. How amusing.”

As a fellow emissary of the Five Poison Sect, he knew Nangong Mili very well.

He was aware that this woman was stunningly beautiful but had a heart as ruthless as a snake. She never showed men any leniency, merely using them to further her own goals before discarding them like worn-out shoes.

Yet, the man in front of him, Lu Changsheng, was only decent in appearance and had just barely reached the early stage of Golden Core Formation. How could he have caught Nangong Mili’s eye and even fathered a child with her?

“You dare speak to me this way? I want to see what you’re capable of!”

“Otherwise, this father-daughter reunion will become a farewell today!”

The old man’s voice was hoarse and sharp, filled with unpredictable malice. His hands formed seals, and a fierce wind suddenly swept towards Lu Changsheng.

“Dad, watch out!”

Nangong Yaoyao quickly warned.

Though she didn’t know how strong her newfound father was, she knew the old man before them was incredibly powerful, not inferior to her mother at all.

“Too noisy!”

Lu Changsheng suddenly turned his gaze to the Wind Centipede Emissary. His gentlemanly and handsome face instantly became stern and imposing. His sharp eyes gleamed with golden light that shot straight out, piercing through the storm and killing intent aimed at the old man.

“How dare you!”

The Wind Centipede Emissary coldly shouted, a bamboo staff with twelve coiled centipedes appearing in his hand. He lightly struck forward with it.

“Hiss hiss hiss——”

The twelve centipedes seemed to come to life, baring their fangs, spewing black mist, making it difficult for the golden light to advance.

“Boom!”

However, in the next moment, a gigantic hand composed of Yin-Yang Dual Qi suddenly appeared in the sky, pressing down with overwhelming might.

This big hand was like an ancient little mountain, emanating a colossal power that forcibly suppressed the Wind Centipede Emissary, making him feel as heavy as lead. Instantly, his figure flickered like smoke and vanished.

“Hmm!?”

Lu Changsheng’s eagle-like eyes immediately locked onto the location of his opponent.

He noticed a colorless, odorless poison far more deadly than before, spreading through the air like small serpents coiling towards him. With a cold snort, the Wuxiang Treasure Wheel appeared behind his head, flowing with radiant light.

“Boom boom boom!”

The Wuxiang Treasure Wheel burned like a fiery blaze, resonating with the Yin-Yang Domain, protecting Nangong Yaoyao, and then suppressing the old man.

“Buzz——”

The eerie and elusive Wind Centipede Emissary instantly felt an invisible power enshrouding and suppressing him, causing his Spiritual Energys to halt.

“How is this possible?”

His face was filled with shock as he looked at Lu Changsheng, who he didn’t expect to be this powerful despite being only at the early stage of Golden Core Formation.

Seeing the gigantic hand pressing down on him again, he swung his staff, and the twelve centipedes roared like dragons, baring their fangs, trying to block the Yin-Yang Grand Capture.

But to his horror, the pressure from the Yin-Yang hand grew overwhelmingly heavy, forcing him to whistle sharply.

“Hiss hiss hiss——”

Suddenly, the ground in the distance burst open as a gigantic, dragon-like centipede surfaced, stirring up a gale as it tried to escape with Nangong Yaoyao.

“Courting death!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s Nine Treasures Dao Bone at his chest emitted a dazzling light, and his Spiritual Energy roared like a tsunami.

The big hand suppressing the old man suddenly burst with an immense power like that of the Nine Heavens, crushing him completely, causing blood to spew from his mouth, leaving him helpless.

“Boom!”

Simultaneously, the dark centipede in the distance was also suppressed by the Mysterious Yin-Yang Divine Light, letting out a cry.

“Retreat!”

The Wind Centipede Emissary, his hair disheveled, looked battered and horrified, knowing he wasn’t Lu Changsheng’s match.

His figure flickered like smoke, trying to escape.

“You think you can escape?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression turned cold as the Taiyi Soul in his spiritual sea radiated golden light. Stepping forward, he pushed the Yin-Yang Domain to its limit, weaving a Yin-Yang Dao Diagram that trapped the surrounding void like a cage.

He then appeared in front of the old man and clenched his fist, delivering a punch that shattered all the old man’s bones and made him cough up blood. His True Core dimmed.

At this moment, Nangong Yaoyao watched in shock.

This… this…

Isn’t my dad too powerful!?

After all, this Wind Centipede Emissary was someone on par with my mother as a fellow Five Poison Sect emissary, with unfathomable strength.

But now, in just a few exchanges, he’s been beaten to the point of coughing up blood by my father!

“Dad!”

She quickly called out to Lu Changsheng, signaling him not to kill.

After all, this was the Five Poison Sect’s territory.

If he killed the Wind Centipede Emissary here, it would invite big trouble.

“Understood.”

Lu Changsheng naturally grasped the situation, and with the Yin-Yang Grand Capture, he suppressed and detained the old man.

Then, the Wuxiang Treasure Wheel burst with radiant light, creating a domain that imprisoned the Wind Centipede Emissary within.

As a Golden Core expert from the Five Poison Sect, it wasn’t wise to kill him under current circumstances.

Moreover, the old man’s sudden attack on his daughter definitely had a reason, so it was better to wait for Nangong Mili to return and handle it.

“Hiss hiss hiss——”

Not far away, the dark centipede, like a terrestrial dragon, roared in fury, black mist billowing as it struggled desperately against the mountain-like Yin-Yang Divine Light, trying to escape.

A Third-Tier demon king like this had long developed intelligence no lesser than humans.

It knew it wasn’t a match for Lu Changsheng and should retreat to seek reinforcement.

However, how could Lu Changsheng allow it to escape? He slapped down with his magical hand, causing a thunderous explosion that stirred up dust and sand. Then, performing the Yin-Yang Grand Capture, he acted decisively.

“Boom boom boom——”

The centipede’s massive body was crushed by the Yin-Yang hand, exploding with a burst of black mist and splattering dark blood.

When the creature’s vitality was nearly exhausted, Lu Changsheng used the Yin-Yang Grand Capture to compress it into a fist-sized orb and stored it in his hand.

“Yaoyao, it’s over now.”

Lu Changsheng calmly looked at his daughter and spoke warmly.

“Dad, you’re incredible!”

Nangong Yaoyao looked at Lu Changsheng with excitement and admiration, her star-like beautiful eyes sparkling with praise and worship.

If her previous admiration and reverence for Lu Changsheng as her newfound father had a hint of pretense,

then at this moment, her gaze was full of sincere adoration, admiration, as if gazing at a towering mountain.

It was just too overwhelming!

A notorious Golden Core expert, the Wind Centipede Emissary, was defeated almost instantly in front of her father!

“Hehe.”

Seeing his daughter like this, the corners of Lu Changsheng’s mouth gently curved up.

Even after all these years, he still enjoyed his wives and children looking at him with admiration, satisfying his masculine pride.

Besides, this daughter was different from his other children. Her current appearance made him feel very pleased, secretly thinking how timely the Wind Centipede Emissary’s arrival was today.

“Yaoyao, why did he attack you?”

Lu Changsheng placed his hand on his daughter’s delicate shoulder, using Yin-Yang Spiritual Energy to remove the remaining poison.

The Wind Centipede Emissary’s methods were extraordinary, silently filling the air with toxins.

His own body could naturally ignore it.

But his daughter had been affected.

“Dad, I don’t know either.”

Nangong Yaoyao shook her head.

She suspected something had happened within the sect or to her mother, causing him to suddenly attack her.

But she wasn’t sure, so she didn’t voice her suspicions.

“We’ll wait a few days for your mother to return, and then let her see.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t ask any more questions and spoke directly.

“Mom? You know where she is, Dad!?”

Nangong Yaoyao immediately asked with concern.

Ever since she heard about the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm, she had been worried about her mother’s condition.

“Your mother got delayed by some matters; she’ll probably be back in a month or two.”

Lu Changsheng certainly wouldn’t admit that he was the reason Nangong Mili hadn’t returned.

“I originally planned to come here with your mother, but she had some things to take care of, so I couldn’t wait and came first.”

“It’s just that I feel guilty for not being with you since you were little, so I didn’t know how to acknowledge you.”

Lu Changsheng sighed and looked regretful.

“It’s okay, Dad, you must be busy with lots of important things.”

Nangong Yaoyao was very understanding.

Having been taught by her mother Nangong Mili, she understood people’s hearts.

She knew her father now felt guilty toward her, but if she acted spoiled, it would slowly erode his affection for her.

The more she behaved considerately, the more her father would likely dot on her.

Lu Changsheng stroked her smooth hair without saying a word.

Though this daughter appeared obedient and sensible, he could tell she was trying to cater to him.

This made him feel there was still a barrier between them.

But considering they hadn’t been reunited for long, it was natural for their relationship to need time to grow.

Looking at the unconscious mortals and cultivators around him, Lu Changsheng placed his hand on his chest. Instantly, the Nine Treasures Dao Bone glowed and emitted a profound aura.

“Buzz buzz buzz——”

Symbols like tadpoles wove together, forming a Third-Tier Rain Talisman, causing rain imbued with healing light to fall.

The events of today were caused by him and his daughter.

If he ignored it, ninety percent of these people wouldn’t wake up and would turn into lifeless bones.

So, under such circumstances, Lu Changsheng was willing to lend a hand.

“Huh!?”

Nangong Yaoyao was surprised by her father’s actions.

In her opinion, these people were just lowly rogue cultivators and mortals, and if they died, so be it.

Why go through so much trouble and waste a Third-Tier Talisman to save them?

After all, the price of a Third-Tier Talisman alone could cost their lives.

“Born as a human, we should do human deeds. They faced this calamity because of us, so if we can help, we should.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at his daughter, gently patting her head as he spoke.

“I understand, sorry to trouble you, Dad!”

The purple-dressed girl immediately nodded earnestly, appearing to have learned something.

She now had a better understanding of her father.

Born as a human and do human deeds; these words were completely different from her mother’s view.

At this moment, she became even more curious about her parents’ relationship.

“Let’s go, let’s head back.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much more as he led her back to the Immortal Spider Market.

Returning from this trip with Nangong Yaoyao, he wanted to see if Meng Xiaochan had been affected.

When they returned, the Market didn’t seem to have any unusual occurrences.

Lu Changsheng soon told Meng Xiaochan what had happened.

“What? The Wind Centipede Emissary attacked Yaoyao!”

Meng Xiaochan exclaimed in shock.

Several days prior, Lu Changsheng had told her about his breakthrough to Golden Core Formation, which already left her extraordinarily surprised.

And now, Lu Changsheng said that the Wind Centipede Emissary came to cause trouble and then got suppressed!

This… this…

Meng Xiaochan was utterly stunned, her face blank, thinking she must be hearing things.

After all, she knew more about the Wind Centipede Emissary’s strength than Nangong Yaoyao.

He had already reached the middle stage of Golden Core Formation, and in his earlier years, he had even wiped out an entire Golden Core family on his own, with phenomenal strength.

But now, he had been easily suppressed by her lover.

Doesn’t this mean… even her Master is no match for Lu Lang now?

Nangong Yaoyao was quite surprised to see Meng Xiaochan so astonished.

Then, filled with excitement, she began to enthusiastically describe the situation to Meng Xiaochan: “Yes, Xiaochan Sister, you wouldn’t believe how amazing Dad was during that time…”

Meng Xiaochan had initially been worried that this incident might cause trouble for Lu Changsheng, but after hearing that her Master would return in a month or two, she relaxed.

Still, she suggested Lu Changsheng take Nangong Yaoyao on a trip for a while until her Master returned.

After all, no one in the sect had been involved yet.

But if the sect suddenly needed to find the Wind Centipede Emissary and realized something was off, it might cause trouble for Lu Changsheng.

“Excellent!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng instantly praised Meng Xiaochan for her brilliant suggestion.

He had been pondering about how to find an excuse to take his daughter out to play and strengthen their bond before Nangong Mili returned.

Now, a perfect reason had presented itself.

“Yaoyao, what do you think?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, seeking her opinion.

“Yaoyao will listen to Dad.”

The young girl blinked her eyes and answered obediently.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, then said to Meng Xiaochan, “Xiaochan, I’m taking Yaoyao out to have some fun for a while. If anything happens, crush this talisman; I’ll sense it.”

As he spoke, he took out a sensing talisman from his Storage Ring.

Then, as if remembering something, he took out a blank Jade Slip, left a message with his Divine Sense, and handed it to Meng Xiaochan, saying, “If your Master returns and asks, give her this.”

“Okay~”

Meng Xiaochan nodded, feeling that her lover and Master must have had some history back in the Jiang Kingdom.

Now, whenever Lu Changsheng mentioned her Master, he seemed very natural.

“Here ya go, Yaoyao, this is the gift I prepared for you.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng remembered the gift he had prepared for his daughter and took out a jar from the Spirit Pet Bag.

“Ah, Dad already gave Yaoyao a gift before, and she loved it.”

The purple-dressed girl’s eyebrows curved with happiness as her starry eyes, full of admiration and joy, gazed at Lu Changsheng.

“That was nothing. This is a special gift I prepared just for you.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

“Thank you, Dad!”

Nangong Yaoyao instantly looked like a child receiving candy, her eyes shining with excitement.

Not to mention, this daughter was maxing out on providing positive emotional value.

“Huh? This is a Gu insect!?”

Nangong Yaoyao opened the jar to find a small pink silkworm-looking worm, weak and listless.

“Yes, this Gu is called ‘Heavenly Fragrance Gu.’”

Lu Changsheng explained with a smile.

“Heavenly Fragrance Gu!?”

Nangong Yaoyao was surprised.

Her Spirit Body was that of the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body.

Her father suddenly gifted her a Heavenly Fragrance Gu—there was no way it had nothing to do with her Spirit Body.

Moreover, she felt a subtle connection with the Gu insect in the jar.

“I heard from your mother that you have the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body. This Gu insect has just begun to be refined, with effects slightly similar to the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body. It will cause a pleasant fragrance to naturally emanate from your body.”

“When the Gu insect reaches its second transformation, this fragrance’s effect will strengthen further, making it hard for others to harm you and reducing hostility and killing intent by threefold.”

“Upon its third transformation, even enemies would find it difficult to harm you, being much more lenient. If it reaches the fourth transformation, it can even increase your luck and fortune, making you favored by the natural world…”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was gentle as he explained the effects of the Heavenly Fragrance Gu unhurriedly.

After hearing his explanation, Nangong Yaoyao looked amazed.

Even though she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, she could clearly understand how powerful this Gu insect was.

Its effects in the early stages might seem ordinary.

But if it reached the fourth transformation, it could increase one’s luck and fortune, which was astonishing!

This aspect of affecting the natural world’s luck meant this Gu insect was at least a Top-Tier Earthly Spirit Gu, perhaps even a Heavenly Spirit Gu!

Most importantly, the Gu insect was simply a perfect fit for her!

Even the early stage’s seemingly normal effects would have a multiplied impact on her!

“Dad, is this really for me?”

Holding the Heavenly Fragrance Gu, her starry eyes sparkled with joy.

“Of course. Do you like it?”

Lu Changsheng smiled softly.

“Yes, yes! Yaoyao loves it! Thank you, Dad!”

Nangong Yaoyao nodded enthusiastically, kissing Lu Changsheng’s cheek to show her thanks.

Seeing this father-daughter bond, Meng Xiaochan felt a sourness in her heart.

Lu Lang came to check on her and Yaoyao, giving Yaoyao such a precious gift.

Yet, she received nothing.

“Yaoyao, you seem tired today. Go rest now. Tomorrow, Dad will take you out to play and help you refine this Heavenly Fragrance Gu.”

Lu Changsheng, with his sharp senses, noticed Meng Xiaochan’s emotions. He smiled at Nangong Yaoyao.

Then he took hold of Meng Xiaochan’s soft, jade-like hands, indicating he had also prepared a gift for her.

“This pill is called the Misfortune-Breaking Pill. It can break all sorts of Gu, toxins, seals, curses, and magic restrictions. Perhaps it can dissolve your Locking Emotion Gu.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

This pill was something he’d won in a lottery years ago and had since left forgotten.

But now, considering Meng Xiaochan’s situation, he thought of giving her this pill to see if it could undo the Locking Emotion Gu.

Partially because Old Ancestor Lu despised using such methods to capture a woman’s heart.

Additionally, he considered Nangong Mili and her daughter Nangong Yaoyao.

After all, the Locking Emotion Gu had always been a thorn in Nangong Mili’s heart.

By dissolving Meng Xiaochan’s Locking Emotion Gu, it would be like pulling out that thorn.

Moreover, if his daughter found out the little sister who had been taking care of her was under the influence of the Locking Emotion Gu, he’d have trouble explaining it.

Or if, in the future, he and Meng Xiaochan had a child, and their child found out their mother was still under the Locking Emotion Gu… the thought itself gave him a headache.

“Does Lu Lang want to get rid of Xiaochan too?”

However, upon hearing the effects of the pill, Meng Xiaochan’s eyes turned red as she spoke sadly.

“Er…”

Lu Changsheng was taken aback, never expecting her to react this way.

“I just wanted to give you a choice.”

He shook his head as he spoke.

“No, Xiaochan thinks this is just fine.”

Meng Xiaochan threw herself into Lu Changsheng’s embrace, wrapping her arms tightly around him and shaking her head.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng became acutely aware of the domineering nature of the Locking Emotion Gu.

He didn’t force her, deciding to wait until Nangong Mili returned to deal with it together.

After all, that had been his initial plan.

It was only because Meng Xiaochan had taken such good care of his daughter over the years and appeared somewhat melancholy that he opted to offer the pill ahead of time.
