Chapter 645: A Father and Son Reunion, Shocking Nangong Mili

More than half a month passed.

Lu Changsheng returned to the Five Poisons Sect with the Sect Master.

Having spent so much time with the Seven Calamities Love Gu in play, Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate as he entered the sect gates alongside Ah Youduo.

“So, this is the Five Poisons Sect?”

Lu Changsheng glanced around. It wasn’t the desolate, poisonous land it appeared to be from the outside. Only a few peaks were shrouded in toxic mists.

The Five Poisons Sect Master began explaining the sect’s layout to Lu Changsheng, pointing to a peak that resembled a massive spider perched on the mountain. That was where Nangong Mili resided—Heavenly Spider Peak.

“Got it.”

Lu Changsheng nodded lightly, gesturing for the Sect Master to rest, before heading toward Heavenly Spider Peak to visit Nangong Mili and his son, Lu Minghuang.

“You’re back?”

Moments later, Nangong Mili descended from the peak, riding a purple divine light. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise and joy as she gazed at Lu Changsheng, who stood tall in his black Daoist robe, looking both elegant and heroic.

She then asked, “Did you and the Sect Master make peace?”

During the past few days, she had been worried, knowing that Lu Changsheng and the Sect Master had gone to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

Now, seeing him return safely and entering the sect, she immediately guessed that their grudges had been resolved.

“Yes, everything’s taken care of.”

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and took her soft, delicate hand in his.

“Let’s go see Minghuang.”

Without saying much more, he walked naturally and intimately with Nangong Mili toward Heavenly Spider Peak.

“Greetings, Heavenly Spider Emissary!”

“Greetings, Peak Master!”

Along the way, several Five Poisons Sect disciples saw Nangong Mili walking so closely with a man, looking almost intimate. They bowed quickly, not daring to look too long, afraid of offending her and courting disaster.

Soon, the two arrived at a courtyard on the peak.

In the backyard, a young boy dressed in a tight-fitting purple outfit, his features still youthful but strikingly handsome, with golden eyes glowing slightly, was practicing with a spear.

“Is that Minghuang?”

Through the bond of blood, Lu Changsheng instantly recognized the boy as his son, Lu Minghuang.

If he didn’t know better, seeing him in that outfit, he might’ve mistaken him for a daughter.

His features were finely chiseled, his skin smooth and delicate—he had clearly inherited Lu Changsheng’s handsomeness, though his appearance was more delicate and feminine.

His eyes, however, had the same seductive allure as his mother, Nangong Mili, with a hint of fierceness.

If he wore some eyeliner, those sharp, upward-tilting eyes would look just like Nangong Mili’s—cold, yet irresistibly enchanting.

Thankfully, his slightly arched brows and the golden glow in his eyes gave his fox-like face a bit of sharpness, preventing him from looking too dangerously alluring.

Lu Changsheng had heard that his son inherited his Chaos Body, so he expected someone more like Lu Lingxiao—strong and rugged. But to his surprise… “Mother.”

When Nangong Minghuang saw his mother approaching, he paused, wiped the sweat from his brow, and bowed respectfully. Then, his gaze shifted to Lu Changsheng.

His cultivation wasn’t deep enough to sense the blood connection with Lu Changsheng.

But from his mother’s words recently and their closeness now, he had a faint guess.

Before Nangong Mili could speak, Lu Changsheng stepped forward, looking into his son’s golden eyes and said, “Minghuang, I’ve come to see you.”

“Father…”

Although Nangong Minghuang had guessed this much, hearing it confirmed still left him a bit stunned, his expression momentarily dazed.

He looked at Lu Changsheng, then at his mother, Nangong Mili.

“There’s no need to doubt it.”

Lu Changsheng’s lips curved into a smile as he stopped suppressing his aura. The Chaos Body’s energy surged, his eyes glowing with golden runes, resonating with his son’s bloodline.

“Father…”

Nangong Minghuang’s body stiffened, his lips parting slightly in shock. He stood there, staring at Lu Changsheng, feeling the undeniable connection in his blood.

When mortals are separated from their parents at a young age, only a rare few can sense a blood connection upon reuniting.

But for cultivators, it’s different.

Especially someone like Lu Changsheng and his son. Not only were they connected by blood, but Minghuang had inherited his father’s unique physique, making their bond even stronger—down to their souls! This is why bloodlines are so highly valued in the cultivation world.

Because cultivators can clearly sense the deep resonance of their bloodline, a bond that transcends the physical!

“I couldn’t be there for you as you grew up due to certain matters. But don’t worry, from now on, I’ll make it up to you as best I can.”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward, extending his hand with a soft smile.

Back then, it had taken a lot of convincing for him and Nangong Mili to agree to have a second child.

But not long after she became pregnant, he had to leave, and now, over a decade had passed since he last saw his son.

“Father…”

Feeling the undeniable connection from deep within his blood, Nangong Minghuang instinctively extended his hand but then glanced at his mother.

Nangong Mili had raised him far more strictly than she had Nangong Yaoyao.

“Minghuang, this is your father.”

Nangong Mili stepped forward, her voice soft as she took his hand and placed it in Lu Changsheng’s.

Father and son finally clasped hands.

“Hahaha, good boy. Tell me about your life these past years.”

Lu Changsheng laughed heartily, walking into the hall with Nangong Mili and their son, Lu Minghuang, by his side.

Soon, the hall—usually regarded as a place of fear by many—was filled with a warmth that was hard to describe.

As the family chatted for a while, Lu Changsheng asked about the white jade cicada.

Nangong Mili had sealed the cicada most of the time, finding its chirping annoying.

“It’s not just connected to the Dragon Roar Body and the repelling effects of the Bai Xi bloodline; it also carries a bit of my Yin-Yang energy, which helps balance and nurture the body.”

Lu Changsheng immediately recognized the benefits of the white jade cicada.

But most importantly, the cicada was now linked to his son’s life force and could be used to shield him from disasters in the future.

For example, the *Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex* had methods to transfer curses and lethal injuries to the cicada.

And according to the *Divine Creation Refinement Art*, the cicada could even be refined into a life-preserving artifact.

“By the way, did this thing drain a lot of Minghuang’s potential when he was born?”

When Mili was pregnant, they had prepared countless rare ingredients, and Lu Changsheng had concocted many pills to nurture the fetus.

Although a first-grade Spirit Root was already impressive, Lu Changsheng had always felt it was lacking something.

Seeing the white jade cicada’s traits now, he couldn’t help but wonder.

But what’s done is done, and he didn’t dwell on it. He simply said, “Mili, Minghuang isn’t suited to stay here in the Five Poisons Sect. Why don’t you and him come back with me?”

Though his situation with Ah Youduo was stable, and Nangong Mili had no issues staying in the sect,

the Yin Ghost Sect was aware of their relationship. They might target Nangong Mili to get to him.

Unless she stayed hidden in the Five Poisons Sect forever.

But his son, Lu Minghuang, wasn’t yet familiar with him. It would be better for him to adjust to a new environment with his mother by his side.

“How are things with you and the Sect Master?”

Nangong Mili bit her lip, asking softly.

If possible, she still preferred the comfort of the Five Poisons Sect.

“Ah Youduo and I are now Dao companions. If you want to stay here, that’s fine—there won’t be any problems. But on my way back, I encountered True Lord Mingsha.”

Lu Changsheng gently squeezed her soft, smooth hand as he spoke.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Nangong Mili froze.

Her stunning, exotic face was filled with disbelief as she stared at him. “Wait, what did you say? Ah Youduo? You—you and the Sect Master…”

She had assumed Lu Changsheng had merely reached a friendly agreement with the Sect Master.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect him to say he had become Dao companions with Ah Youduo.

Wasn’t Ah Youduo the Sect Master’s name? Nangong Mili was utterly dumbfounded.

She had always known this man couldn’t stay away from women, but she never expected… with the Sect Master? That was beyond her imagination.

After all, the Sect Master was a Nascent Soul True Lord! How could a grand Nascent Soul cultivator go on a trip to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons and end up as this rogue’s Dao companion? And knowing the Sect Master’s personality, how could it even be possible?

Nangong Mili’s enchanting face was full of confusion. She couldn’t wrap her mind around it.

“That’s right. From now on, you and Ah Youduo are sisters, of sorts.”

Seeing her reaction, Lu Changsheng chuckled, not bothering to mention that the Sect Master had essentially submitted to him.

After all, Ah Youduo was still a Nascent Soul True Lord, deserving of some respect.

Besides, the Seven Calamities Love Gu made her fall deeply in love with him, not turn into his puppet. She might obey him, but that didn’t extend to everyone else around him.

“This… this…”

Nangong Mili was utterly shaken, her mind in turmoil as she tried to calm down. After a long pause, her eyes gleamed with curiosity as she asked, “How… how did you manage it?”

There was no jealousy in her voice, only a sense of admiration, respect, and even a little awe.

After all, her man had managed to conquer a Nascent Soul True Lord while still in the Core Formation stage. That was nothing short of… “Naturally, it’s all thanks to your husband’s charm. What else could it be?”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, not going into detail.

Their son, Lu Minghuang, was still nearby. This was a conversation for later, in private.

He quickly shifted the topic, talking about their upcoming journey to the Jiang Kingdom and why Lu Minghuang would be better off away from the Five Poisons Sect. He had plans for his son’s future.

“Besides, it’s been years since you’ve seen Xiaochan. This is the perfect chance to visit her. After you reach the late Core Formation stage, if you want to return to the Five Poisons Sect, you can anytime.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind if Nangong Mili stayed at the sect.

Not only was it a good place for her, but her presence would also make things more convenient for him and Ah Youduo from time to time.

Moreover, she had delayed her cultivation while pregnant and raising their son. Lu Changsheng planned to help her refine her True Core into a top-grade Gold Core and push her to break through to the late Core Formation stage.

“Alright.”

Nangong Mili pursed her lips lightly, glancing at her son. She nodded in agreement.

This rogue had hundreds of children, so she had to personally ensure her son didn’t get bullied.

Besides, visiting Meng Xiaochan would allow her to ask Xiaochan to help look after her son in the future.

The family of three continued chatting warmly, with Lu Changsheng giving his son some guidance on his cultivation.

He had originally planned to teach Minghuang the *Divine Creation Refinement Art*.

But looking at his son’s fox-like features now, he felt that practicing such a tool-centric cultivation method would be far too contradictory.

Seeing his son’s interest in spear techniques, Lu Changsheng decided to demonstrate and instruct him instead.

Although he had never focused on weaponry or spear techniques,

he had once won a spear technique from a lucky draw—it came from the *Hanyan True Water Evil Art*—so teaching his son the basics wouldn’t be a problem.

Night fell.

Later.

Later.

Later.

“You and the Sect Master…”

Nangong Mili, her seductive and enchanting body covered in a light sheen of sweat, nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms. Her eyes were dreamy, her expression captivating.

She’d been dying to know what had really happened between him and the Sect Master.

After all, it was such a shocking development that she couldn’t help but gossip about it.

“Though she’s broken through to Nascent Soul, advancing further is incredibly difficult. So we reached a deeper cooperation and became Dao companions. In exchange, once I break through to Nascent Soul, I’ll help her progress.”

Lu Changsheng’s fingers played idly with her supple, snow-white skin as he spoke slowly, like someone building a snowman.

Compared to Nangong Mili’s figure, Ah Youduo really didn’t measure up.

Even though she was in her thirties, at the peak of her maturity, she couldn’t compete with Nangong Mili’s devilish curves.

Still, Ah Youduo had her own unique charms.

As a Nascent Soul True Lord, the allure of dual cultivation with her at different stages of her life was a one-of-a-kind experience.

Thinking of Ah Youduo, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but want to bring Nangong Mili along for a little ‘emotional bonding’.

But then he remembered that even Nascent Soul cultivators had their pride, so he decided to wait until their relationship deepened a bit more before facilitating their ‘bonding’.

“Helping her advance after you break through to Nascent Soul…”

Nangong Mili was stunned by how casually he spoke of such an enormous task.

The sheer audacity! A Nascent Soul cultivator was already one of the most powerful beings in the world, and advancing further was nearly impossible.

Yet, Lu Changsheng had somehow convinced the Sect Master to become his Dao companion with nothing more than these incredible promises? No, wait!

There was no way words alone could have been enough. He must have offered her something truly valuable.

Which meant… Lu Changsheng had the means to help a Nascent Soul cultivator advance! Nangong Mili’s heart raced in shock.

But then, remembering all the extraordinary things she’d seen from him over the years, it somehow made sense.

If Lu Changsheng broke through to Nascent Soul, he would far surpass the likes of True Lord Xuanjian from the Heavenly Sword Sect. No, he’d go beyond even that! “You were always curious why my Dao body grows so fast, weren’t you?”

Seeing Nangong Mili’s astonished expression, Lu Changsheng chuckled softly and kissed her gently. Then he explained the same story he’d used to win over the Sect Master.

He told her that he was the reincarnation of the Sacred Emperor of Central State—the Dragon Emperor himself—and that the Yin-Yang energy he used to cultivate her Gold Core was part of his Dragon Emperor’s essence.

Though it sounded absurd,

when she thought about his rapid growth, his overwhelming combat prowess, and now, his conquest of the Sect Master, Nangong Mili couldn’t help but believe it.

“So, you and the Sect Master… already consummated the bond?”

Nangong Mili suddenly pictured her seductive Sect Master, and her phoenix-like eyes gleamed with something odd.

Though the Sect Master was older than Nangong Mili’s grandmother, her appearance was still… Even as a demonic cultivator, Nangong Mili couldn’t fully wrap her head around the image.

“What are you imagining? Ah Youduo only looks that way because of her cultivation technique. She can appear normal when necessary. I’ll show you sometime when it’s convenient.”

Seeing the look in Nangong Mili’s eyes, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but give her a playful pinch before rolling over on top of her again.

Even though he now had Ah Youduo, Nangong Mili’s devilish figure was still a rare temptation, perfect for sharpening his resolve.

“Mmm~ You’d better keep your word.”

Nangong Mili’s voice was sultry as she let out a soft moan. Her flawless, porcelain skin flushed pink as she gazed at him expectantly.

“???”

Wait, what was she expecting?

Could it be this woman had some hidden side to her? As Lu Changsheng thought of Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoge, or perhaps even Baa Ling and Bing’er, he recalled those occasional moments of unpredictability and stood tall once more. “Of course, I always keep my word!”
