Chapter 56: My Demonic Brother-in-Law!

That day.

Lu Changsheng received a letter.

It was from Hong Yi, saying he had sent people outside to Zhoushan Manor to learn some news.

A strange man appeared at the Qu family’s residence.

Based on his investigation, this man was most likely Qu Changge.

Someone recognized Qu Changge’s appearance back then, and since this man appeared at the Qu family, asking about events there.

So, combining all these factors, it was nearly certain this man was Qu Changge.

But for some unknown reason, Qu Changge previously had a scholarly and gentle appearance.

But now he’s become demonic and sinister, with blood-red eyes like a monster.

Hong Yi mentioned in the letter that after Qu Changge appeared, he vanished without a trace.

He suspected Qu Changge also started cultivating immortality, but in the demonic path, warning Lu Changsheng to be cautious.

“Demonic path.”

After reading the letter, Lu Changsheng squinted slightly.

As far as he knew, in the Jiang Kingdom’s immortal cultivation world, the Heavenly Sword Sect was the supreme, with several spirit sects and immortal cultivation families, all orthodox forces on the surface.

There was no demonic faction.

Thus, in the Jiang Kingdom, there was no soil for demonic cultivators to survive.

Occasionally, some demonic cultivators were usually rogue cultivators who obtained demonic inheritance.

Lu Changsheng never expected his cheap brother-in-law would walk the demonic path.

“I wonder if he will come to Qingzhu Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He wasn’t worried about this brother-in-law finding Qingzhu Mountain.

After all, one doesn’t fear ghosts if they have not wronged others.

He not only saved Qu Zhenzhen, but they were also fond of each other. Would this brother-in-law really cause trouble?

Even if Qu Changge didn’t know the truth and came to cause trouble, he needed the ability to find him.

In Lu Changsheng’s view, Qu Zhenzhen had an Eighth-Tier Spirit Root. Even if her brother had a spirit root, it wouldn’t be much better.

Moreover, in the Jiang Kingdom, demonic cultivators were like rats everyone wanted to beat.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly come to Qingzhu Mountain to cause trouble?

“Sigh, it seems my brother-in-law is quite the tragic figure.”

“He walked the path of immortality cultivation but took the demonic way. Returning home, he found his family wiped out.”

Lu Changsheng sighed, shaking his head.

He held a decent impression of this brother-in-law he had never met.

Because during the past year, Qu Zhenzhen spoke much of her childhood stories to him.

And often mentioned this cheap brother-in-law.

In Qu Zhenzhen’s words, her brother, despite reading all day, was not a strictly humourless person.

He was very loving to her. Even when she made mistakes, while Qu Changge would lecture her, many times he would help cover up, handle matters, and hide them from their parents.

“I won’t tell Zhenzhen about this for now, so she won’t worry.”

“If, in the future, I have the ability, I can help this brother-in-law, assuming he’s still alive.”

“But for now, forget it.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply, not dwelling on the matter.

Now, he was just a weak Qi Refining stage three, only able to live quietly in Qingzhu Mountain, unable to help this brother-in-law and too lazy to worry.

Later, he replied to Hong Yi, telling him to stop probing into Qu Changge’s affairs.

Otherwise, getting entangled with demonic cultivators would be troublesome.

……

Half a month later.

“Husband, I’ve completed Qi initiation and become a cultivator!”

That day, wearing a golden hairpin and a powder-white dress, Qu Zhenzhen excitedly shared the good news with Lu Changsheng.

Having been in Qingzhu Mountain for over a year, her baby fat and innocence faded, her tender body had rounded more.

Her pure, lovely face now exuded a woman’s allure.

“My dear Zhenzhen broke through to the first level of Qi Refining!?”

Lu Changsheng was thrilled to hear this news.

With a Spirit Root, he naturally hoped his wife would also embark on the immortal path, staying with him longer.

Even if not for aiding him in the future, at least cultivating would be beneficial for her health.

Qu Zhenzhen’s delayed breakthrough to Qi Refining stage one was due to pregnancy and recovery, delaying her training.

Otherwise, with second-level spiritual veins in Qingzhu Valley, she would have broken through by now even without resources.

Seeing the charming, graceful little wife before him, Lu Changsheng embraced her, saying, “In celebration of my dear Zhenzhen becoming a cultivator, let your husband reward you well.”

Even as a mother, Qu Zhenzhen’s shy nature hadn’t changed.

Hearing this, her heart shied, cheeks blushing bright red.

Before she could speak, her lips felt warm, and her body softened.

She almost collapsed against Lu Changsheng.

After a while, she mumbled, “Husband, le… let’s go to the bedroom…”

“It’s fine, we’re at home, and nobody’s here.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

In response to Qu Zhenzhen’s shy murmurs, even the sound of clothing tearing echoed.

Adding a touch of spring to the autumn courtyard.

In the following days, most of Lu Changsheng’s energy was devoted to Qu Zhenzhen.

Now that she’d achieved Qi Refining stage one, and had recovered for half a year since childbirth, he naturally took care, working towards a second child.

……

As the end of the month arrived.

Every month’s end was when the Fourth Elder lectured and taught talisman making.

That day, Lu Changsheng got up, ate breakfast, and went to the Fourth Elder’s residence.

Having been there once, he didn’t need guidance.

Lu Changsheng easily passed through corridors to a quiet courtyard.

The courtyard walls were lined with verdant green spirit bamboo, centered around a small pavilion with five tables and chairs nearby.

At this time, beside the pavilion stood a stunning figure, straight and elegant.

Her face was charming, her eyes clear as water, dressed in a simple, elegant white dress.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, reaching the waist of her snow-white attire, contrasting black and white.

Despite the plain white dress and embroidered shoes, her graceful figure and elegant aura offered a unique attraction, an ethereal out-of-this-world quality.

The gentle breeze and sunbeams fell on the woman’s white dress.

As if encased in a divine golden glow, she appeared more sacred and noble.

Lu Changsheng saw Lu Miaoge standing like a paiiting, his eyes revealing a hint of amazement.

Perhaps because she was the first ‘immortal maiden’ he’d seen after regaining his memory and entering the cultivation world.

He felt a special emotion towards Lu Miaoge..

Previously, seeing Lu Miaoge, despite the differrnce in status, Lu Changsheng had thoughts but no strong feelings.

Now, with confidence from his system and the rise in Lu Family’s status, Lu Miaoge, in front of him, wws no longer so out of reach.

Seeing Lu Miaoge, he subconsciously esired something he hadn’t felt before.

The desire to have this ethereal maiden beneath him, indulging in her.

“Sigh, no wonder many people, after gaining wealth and power, become morally corrupt.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head, having just married Lu Miaoyun, and now having impoper thoughts about her cousin.

“Miss.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much, approaching to greet Lu Miaoge..

As a Talisman Master of the Lu Family, Lu Miaoge came to learn talissan-making from the Fourth Elder on these days.

The other Lu Family disciples learning talisman-making were apprentices, so the Fourth Elder divided the lessons into two sessions.

Morning for Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng, fternoon for other Lu disciples.

“Lu Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge smiled faintly uponnseeing Lu Changsheng.

Her smile was soft, like a snow lotus on the Tianshan, blooming and then hiding again, restoring her ethereal elegance.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think how similar the sisters were that way.

Neither liked smiling, but when they did, they were stunning.

He didn’t engage in conversation. Even with thoughts of Lu Miaoge, he wouldn’t pursueerecklessly.

Firstly, given his status, it wasn’t suitable, and secondly, attraction isn’t about chasing, but drawing in.

Lu Changsheng sat at a nearby table, waiting for the Fourth Elder.
