Chapter 583: With Me as Her Father, Her Future Will Shine Brightly!

Jin Kingdom, Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

“Meng’er, that’s called the Flame Ape.”

Lu Changsheng brought his wife and daughter to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range Zoo, introducing the animals one by one to his daughter.

“This one isn’t cute. It’s not as adorable as Rolling.”

Lu Mengchan, even though she was young, had a strong preference for good looks. Seeing the bright red-haired ape in the distance, she wrinkled her little nose in slight disdain.

“Lu Lang, I don’t know where the base of the Five Poison Sect is.”

Meng Xiaochan looked at the endless stretch of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and murmured quietly.

Although she was a disciple of the Five Poison Sect, she rarely came to this side of the mountain, and she hadn’t been in the sect for years.

“It’s alright.”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he expanded his Divine Sense.

Though the war in Jiang Kingdom’s frontier hardly affected Jin Kingdom, it was evident that similarly to the border, many sensory formations and preventive measures were here.

Moments later, he observed a Foundation Establishment cultivator several miles away, leading a group of Qi Refining disciples on patrol. Judging by their attire, they seemed to be disciples of the Five Poison Sect.

Immediately, he raised his palm slightly, Yin-Yang Spiritual Energy swirling, forming a vortex in his palm.

“Buzz!”

The patrolling Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly felt an unstoppable force envelop his entire body, thrusting him into what felt like a deep-sea vortex, leaving him unable to resist.

Soon, his world spun. When he opened his eyes, he saw an imposing, blurry figure standing before him, its radiance like the sun, impossible to look at directly.

“This humble one greets the Senior!”

Though he didn’t understand what had happened, the divine means used made him kneel without hesitation and respectfully salute.

“Are you a disciple of the Five Poison Sect?”

Lu Changsheng asked calmly.

“Yes, Senior. This humble one is Wu Tiehu, a deacon of the Five Poison Sect.”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly replied.

“How many bases does the Five Poison Sect have in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range? At which base is True Person Heavenly Spider of Heavenly Spider Peak located?”

Lu Changsheng inquired.

“This…”

Wu Tiehu hesitated at these words.

Is this an enemy trying to gather information on my sect?

However, as he pondered and hesitated, a sudden shock hit his mind, leaving it blank. In a daze, he started spilling all the information he knew.

Meng Xiaochan, seeing her husband’s methods, couldn’t help but be surprised.

Not only did he bring someone over from such a distance,

but when he used his mind-manipulating technique, there wasn’t a single hint of disturbance. It was impossible to defend against.

“Enough.”

After obtaining the information, Lu Changsheng used the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual to erase this memory, then took his daughter and Meng Xiaochan and shot off in a certain direction.

One of the bases of the Five Poison Sect in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

In a giant tree resembling a pavilion, Nangong Mili sat cross-legged.

Her pitch-black, elegant hair was tied up high, and her stunning, picturesque face bore an unspeakable charm and allure.

Her figure was graceful, with a slender waist, full bosom, and a seductive curve, accentuated by her purple silk dress that seemed ready to burst at the seams.

Her slim waist was as flexible as if it had no bones, and her long, flawless legs crossed elegantly, exuding an air of purity and sanctity.

At this moment, she opened her long, phoenix-like eyes, and a Communication Talisman appeared in her white, jade-like hand.

Seeing this Communication Talisman, an expression of joy immediately flashed in Nangong Mili’s eyes.

That wretched man finally came to see me.

But the next moment, another wave of resentment surfaced.

Over these years, I couldn’t visit Jiang Kingdom, but with that man’s Third-Tier Demon King, it would have taken only six months to visit. Yet, he’s only coming now.

Although she knew that, as a Golden Core cultivator, he certainly had many tasks to handle and couldn’t always be free,

she couldn’t help feeling that this wretched man had been flirting with other women outside.

As these thoughts crossed her mind, a wave of grievance and frustration washed over her.

Especially since Lu Changsheng had finally arrived, all the resentment, longing, anger, and grievances she had accumulated over the years swelled up in her heart.

But moments later, Nangong Mili adjusted her garments and walked out of the Venom House with a stoic expression.

After all, Nangong Mili wasn’t like other women. How could she let a man affect her emotions?

A hundred miles outside the base, Nangong Mili saw a man, a woman, and a young child.

The man was dressed in a dark robe, his face a blend of elegance and strength; the woman wore a purple dress with a curvaceous figure, her appearance about average; as for the child, she looked delicate and cute, like a porcelain doll.

Upon seeing the approaching person, Meng Xiaochan immediately called out joyfully, “Master!”

In this world, there weren’t many people Meng Xiaochan was close to.

Aside from Lu Changsheng, her late grandmother, and her daughter Lu Mengchan, the person she was closest to was her Master, Nangong Mili.

“Xiaochan!?”

Though Nangong Mili guessed the two approaching figures were Lu Changsheng and Meng Xiaochan, their disguises were so skillful that she couldn’t confirm it.

“Master, it’s me.”

Meng Xiaochan removed her disguise, her face brimming with happiness.

Then she crouched down and spoke to the little girl holding a panda plushie beside her, “Meng’er, this is your…”

She was about to say ‘Master Ancestor’ but immediately recalled her husband’s relationship with her Master.

If her daughter called her Master ‘Master Ancestor,’ what would that make their bond?

“Meng’er, this is your Aunt Nangong. Call her Auntie.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, a wave of misty aura enveloping his face. The elegance was gone, replaced by an unparalleled beauty, transcending worldly conventions.

“Daddy, isn’t Mommy’s Master supposed to be called Master Ancestor?”

The little girl, though still young, had been taught basic manners. She knew that her father’s father is called Grandpa, her mother’s mother is called Grandma, and her parents’ Master is called Master Ancestor.

“…”

Facing his daughter’s innocent and confused gaze, Lu Changsheng was momentarily speechless.

He then gently laughed and said, “Because Aunt Nangong is like your Aunt Ling and Aunt Miaoge.”

“Oh.”

Lu Mengchan, half-understanding, replied softly, then looked at Nangong Mili and called out crisply, “Auntie.”

“Xiaochan’s daughter is already so big.”

Nangong Mili gazed at Lu Mengchan, and it was as if she saw her own daughter Nangong Yaoyao in the past. Her heart suddenly warmed with a bit of fondness.

“Mili, I’ve been busy with a lot of things, so I only managed to come by now.”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward, naturally attempting to hold Nangong Mili’s white, jade-like hand.

“Hmph!”

However, Nangong Mili was still annoyed at Lu Changsheng. She directly brushed off his hand, ignored him, and spoke to Meng Xiaochan, asking, “Xiaochan, how have you been all these years?

“Is this your daughter? What’s her name?”

As she spoke, she looked at the little girl holding the plushie, who seemed a bit shy.

Meng Xiaochan, knowing her Master’s temperament, could tell she was upset with her husband.

She glanced at Lu Changsheng, then softly smiled and said, “Master, I’ve been very well these years. My husband treats me well. I’ve broken through to Golden Core and even condensed a High-Tier Golden Core.”

When she initially broke through, unprepared and lacking foundation, she ended up as a half-step Golden Core.

Nonetheless, the richness of the Golden Core Dao Rhythm was immense. She was just a step away from advancing to a High-Tier Golden Core. These years of Dual Cultivation with Lu Changsheng have replenished her foundation, allowing her to reach High-Tier Golden Core.

Of course, she mentioned this to emphasize that her life by Lu Changsheng’s side had been good.

“High-Tier Golden Core!?”

Nangong Mili’s beautiful face showed a moment of surprise, her phoenix-like eyes full of disbelief. Only now did she notice her disciple’s cultivation level.

Unexpectedly, her disciple not only had a daughter but also hadn’t fallen behind in cultivation, having successfully broken through to Golden Core and even condensed a High-Tier Golden Core!

It’s essential to know that although demonic techniques cultivate faster than righteous techniques,

the corresponding price is that breaking through bottlenecks is significantly more difficult.

Therefore, condensing a High-Tier Golden Core with demonic techniques is extremely challenging.

Even she herself only reached Four-Grade Golden Core, relying on Lu Changsheng’s Yin Yang Essence to nurture some Golden Core Dao Rhythm, achieving half-step Golden Core.

But now, her disciple Meng Xiaochan had directly condensed a High-Tier Golden Core!

For a moment, Nangong Mili felt both happiness and comfort for her disciple, mixed with sourness and envy.

“Yes. Thanks to my husband, Xiaochan was able to condense a High-Tier Golden Core.”

Meng Xiaochan gazed affectionately at her husband, then looked at her delicate daughter and said softly, “Her name is Meng’er. Her full name is Lu Mengchan.”

“Come, Meng’er, don’t be afraid. Let Auntie take a good look at you.”

Even though she was making Meng’er call her Master ‘Auntie,’ Meng Xiaochan still found it a bit awkward.

Nangong Mili watched Meng Xiaochan’s every mention of ‘husband,’ and the affectionate look in her eyes left her feeling even more sour and bitter. Then, she looked at Lu Mengchan and said, “So cute. She looks just like Yaoyao when she was young.”

The child’s parents had excellent appearances, and she had been nurtured in the womb with various Natural Treasures, so her appearance was bound to be beautiful.

It’s like in the world of cultivation: as mortals advance in cultivation, their appearance and temperament naturally improve.

Lu Mengchan, as a second-generation cultivator, had already consumed more Natural Treasures than many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“Mili.”

Lu Changsheng noticed the charm and allure on Nangong Mili’s face. Knowing she missed her daughter and was upset that it took him so long to visit her, he tried to say something to comfort her.

However, facing Lu Changsheng’s words, Nangong Mili continued to turn a deaf ear, blatantly ignoring him and even intentionally snorting.

If Meng Xiaochan and their daughter weren’t present, given her attitude, Lu Changsheng would’ve just taken her on the spot to show her who was in charge!

This woman needed to be disciplined!

“Master, we came here because we need to ask you for a favor.”

Meng Xiaochan quickly squeezed her husband’s hand and continued.

Hearing that they needed a favor, Nangong Mili felt a bit more annoyed.

This dog of a man! He didn’t come to see me because he missed me but because he had something to do. Indeed, men are all the same!

But she suppressed her emotions and asked, “What is it?”

“Meng’er seems to have the Calamity Poison Body, so we came here to see if the sect has any information on it.”

Meng Xiaochan glanced at her daughter and said softly.

“What? Meng’er has the Calamity Poison Body!?”

Nangong Mili’s beautiful face froze with shock as she stared at the doll-like Lu Mengchan, her long phoenix-like eyes filled with disbelief.

As a Core Formation True Person of the Five Poison Sect, she naturally knew what the Calamity Poison Body was.

A top-tier Spirit Body!

A top-tier Spirit Body comparable to her daughter Nangong Yaoyao’s Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body!

In the Five Poison Sect, the status of the Calamity Poison Body far exceeded that of the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body.

After all, the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body only becomes impressive after the Core Formation stage, where it brings heavenly favor and reduces the impact of the Nascent Soul tribulation.

But the Calamity Poison Body can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage without any bottlenecks as long as it consumes endless amounts of potent poisons!

Though it has a significant downside.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the body’s toxins will erupt, leading to endless suffering until death claims the cultivator.

But for a small family or faction, it’s an excellent way to raise a top-tier strong cultivator with minimal resources and cost!

Moreover, if powerful sects like Heaven Corpse Sect or Yin Ghost Sect obtained a Calamity Poison Body, they could cultivate it to the Core Formation stage and refine it into an ultimate poison corpse or a formidable ghost slave!

Thus, the Calamity Poison Body holds high cultivation value for many factions!

Of course, Nangong Mili’s shock wasn’t just about her ‘grand-disciple’ Lu Mengchan having such a rare Spirit Body. She was also shocked about this dog of a man.

Why do top-tier Spirit Bodies seem so common around him?

Her daughter Nangong Yaoyao was born with a top-tier Spirit Body.

Now, his daughter with Meng Xiaochan is also a top-tier Spirit Body!

One has to understand that Spirit Bodies are one in a million!

Even if both parents are Spirit Bodies, the probability of the child being one is just slightly higher.

“What kind of Spirit Body is this dog man hiding? An Ultimate Dao Body!?”

Nangong Mili had speculated before that Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of Ultimate Dao Body.

But after searching all the sect records on Spirit Bodies, she couldn’t find any that matched Lu Changsheng’s.

“Yes, while my husband and I have some understanding of the Calamity Poison Body, we still wanted to see if the sect had any detailed records.”

Meng Xiaochan lovingly looked at her daughter and continued, “Also, my husband has always missed his Master and now has time, so he brought Meng’er and me to see you.”

“Hmph.”

Nangong Mili felt even more annoyed when her obedient disciple spoke so kindly of this dog of a man. However, she still responded, “There’s not much in the sect’s records about the Calamity Poison Body, but I’ll check later.”

“You’ve broken through to Golden Core…”

However, she realized before finishing her sentence that her disciple wouldn’t want to report her Golden Core breakthrough to the sect since she’d leave with this dog of a man afterward.

“Alright, I’ll check later.”

Nangong Mili sighed lightly, feeling happy for her disciple’s current good life.

But about her grand-disciple’s Spirit Body, she felt a deep sense of regret.

While the Calamity Poison Body is powerful, it’s only suitable as a tool.

Thinking from the heart, if her own daughter Nangong Yaoyao had that body instead, she might never have allowed her daughter’s Spirit Body to awaken.

“Mili, it’s been a while. Why don’t we find a place to catch up?”

Lu Changsheng suggested.

He came to see Nangong Mili not just to inquire about the Calamity Poison Body but also for other matters.

Ling Zixiao had already comprehended the “San Tong Qi”.

After discussing it with her, Lu Changsheng had drafted a design for a complementary treasure.

The plan was to refine a formation diagram treasure.

The formation diagram, apart from complementing her Life-bound Spirit Tool, the All-Heaven Demon Slayer Banner, would also assist her in cultivating the “Twelve Great Demon Techniques” to refine demon gods.

In the course of designing this, Lu Changsheng had referenced his Life-bound Magical Treasure, the ‘Yin-Yang Diagram,’ and the Divine Machine Hundred Refinement Technique’s treasure ‘Picture of the Eight Daughters of Heaven’ among others.

So refining this treasure would not only consume time and effort but also require vast amounts of Natural Treasures.

Even with Lu Changsheng’s resources, building the Immortal City of Da Mengze, it would still be hard to gather the materials in a short time.

Moreover, the treasure needed to meld well with the Twelve Great Demon Techniques, requiring many demonic materials.

Thus, this trip to Jin Kingdom was also an opportunity to see if Nangong Mili had any channels.

Besides this, he also wanted to help Lu Quanzhen check whether there was a divine bird with Kunpeng bloodline nearby.

After all, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range in Jiang Kingdom was being conquered by the Four Great Immortal Sects, making it inconvenient for him to go there.

“Meng’er, how old are you?”

But Nangong Mili continued to ignore Lu Changsheng and spoke to Lu Mengchan instead.

“Damn it, this woman!”

Lu Changsheng, seeing her in a form-fitting purple palace dress, her curves alluring and legs slender, felt enraged.

“Auntie, I’m six years old.”

Lu Mengchan replied obediently, clutching her black-and-white panda plushie.

Then she glanced at her father and curiously asked, “Auntie, why are you ignoring Daddy? Daddy’s talking to you.”

“Ah, daughters truly are sweet.”

Lu Changsheng felt delighted as his daughter spoke up for him.

“Because Auntie is talking to Meng’er right now.”

Nangong Mili had already half-accepted the little girl as her daughter. Her normally aloof and cold voice grew significantly softer.

“Master, why don’t we find a place to rest for now?”

At this point, Meng Xiaochan also tried to smooth things over.

Nangong Mili agreed that this wasn’t the place to reminisce and led the three of them to a base of the Five Poison Sect.

During this time, both Lu Changsheng and Meng Xiaochan concealed themselves with a layer of spiritual energy, making it difficult to discern their appearance.

In fact, with Lu Changsheng’s current spiritual methods, the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual could make him invisible to Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even if someone saw him, they would immediately forget, unable to remember what he looked like.

“Auntie, I’m scared.”

Lu Mengchan, holding Nangong Mili’s hand, suddenly looked terrified upon seeing the large centipedes and spiders.

She had always feared snakes, scorpions, and poisonous insects.

Especially since the spiders and centipedes here were several times bigger than she was.

“Huh?”

Nangong Mili was taken aback.

She never expected her grand-disciple, the daughter of her disciple, would be afraid of centipedes and spiders.

Although Meng Xiaochan didn’t grow up in the Five Poison Sect, she was, after all, the daughter of a direct disciple of the sect!

“Lu Changsheng, did you teach her to be like this on purpose?!”

She immediately glared at Lu Changsheng, her voice cold. She couldn’t believe her grand-disciple would fear the sacred beasts of the sect.

“???”

Lu Changsheng felt wrongfully accused.

Though he wasn’t fond of the demonic path of the Five Poison Sect, he didn’t have a severe bias.

“Master, Meng’er has always been timid.”

Meng Xiaochan quickly explained to her Master through voice transmission.

Her daughter had been timid and prone to crying since she was young.

Over the years, she had improved a lot.

When she was younger, she would cry at the slightest provocation.

For example, she would cry out of frustration if she lost in eating against Lu Baixi and Lu Linghe.

Hearing this, Nangong Mili felt speechless.

This child was, after all, considered part of the Five Poison Sect.

But it turns out she’s timid and prone to crying, scared of snakes, scorpions, spiders, and other demonic beasts.

But to cultivate the Calamity Poison Body, she would have to interact with poisons and toxins.

And typically, the more bizarre, ugly, or terrifying a demonic beast, the more poisonous it was.

“Meng’er, there’s nothing to fear. Come.”

Nangong Mili determined that this disposition wasn’t good and would affect Meng’er’s future cultivation.

She immediately tried to lead Lu Mengchan forward, intending to have her face her fears.

“Daddy, Mommy!”

Lu Mengchan immediately started crying, calling out to her parents in distress.

“Nangong Mili!”

Lu Changsheng quickly stepped forward and embraced his daughter, comforting her softly, “Daddy’s here. Don’t be afraid.”

He knew his daughter’s timid nature wasn’t ideal for her future cultivation.

But she was still young, and he couldn’t bear to be so strict with her.

“Lu Changsheng, spoiling her like this will only ruin her future!”

Nangong Mili coldly pointed out.

Although she pampered her daughter too, her daughter Nangong Yaoyao had always been sensible, much to her satisfaction.

“As long as I’m her father, her future will be bright.”

Lu Changsheng responded calmly.

Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan were both taken aback by his words, feeling a sudden emotional stir.

The two masters and disciples were somewhat similar.

In their childhood, they each had an elder who protected them from the wind and rain.

But neither elder was as powerful as Lu Changsheng, and both passed away early in their lives.

Now, hearing Lu Changsheng’s simple yet powerful words, they couldn’t help but think of their deceased elders and the difficult, arduous paths they had walked.

With a father like Lu Changsheng standing by her side, shielding her from the storms, Lu Mengchan certainly had a bright future ahead.
