Chapter 733: Ina’s Pregnancy, the Ghost Hunter!

Not only was Xiao Xiyue away on a mission but Chu Qingyi was also absent from the sect.

So after paying his respects to the Azure Cloud Sect Master and spending a few days of intimacy with Zhao Qingqing, Lu Changsheng left the Azure Cloud Sect and arrived at Shadow’s hidden palace.

“Shadow, any news from Beast God Mountain lately?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the woman in front of him, clad in dark soft armor, her figure graceful and exquisite, and asked.

“My Lord, the war between the Liang Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom is currently at a stalemate, so the Holy Maiden can’t be distracted. She just instructed me to return as soon as my injuries heal.”

Shadow said respectfully, indicating that the Holy Maiden was already urging her to return soon.

If she didn’t return, she might arouse the Holy Maiden of Beast God Mountain’s suspicions.

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed, knowing that dragging this out wasn’t a solution.

He wanted to use Shadow to ambush Beast God Mountain and lure the Holy Maiden of Beast God Mountain, which was proving very difficult.

As the Nascent Soul seed of Beast God Mountain, she wouldn’t take risks easily. To sneak from the Liang Kingdom into the Jiang Kingdom, he’d have to take the initiative and go to the Yue Kingdom or the Liang Kingdom.

“Sigh, I’m stretched thin.”

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly, feeling like he was too busy to handle everything.

Although he could leave this matter to Hong Lian or Ah Youduo.

He didn’t want to trouble the two women with such matters.

“Let’s stall for now.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled, spoke to Shadow, then signaled her to enter her catgirl form so he could replenish her with positive energy.

After all, Shadow was so obedient because she was influenced by the Divine Maiden’s Furnace’s Law of Lust.

If they were separated for too long, she might break free from the power of lust and regain herself, relying on her strong will and loyalty to the Holy Maiden of Beast God Mountain.

So now that he had time, Lu Changsheng replenished her with positive energy.

Hearing this, the sharp angles of Shadow’s delicate, melon-seed-shaped face gradually became more pronounced. Several dark lines appeared on her fair cheeks, and a pair of furry black cat ears stood up on her head. Below her slender, graceful waist, a dark tail resembling a whip slowly emerged.

After transforming into a catgirl, Shadow’s alluring figure, tightly wrapped in the dark soft armor, seemed even more slender and proud.

“Meow~”

She bowed slightly, lowered her head, raised her eyes full of a daze to look at Lu Changsheng, and let out an obedient whimper.

Lu Changsheng reached out and gently stroked her hair and cheek.

Although there were a few more dark lines, it was still very smooth, like silk, but with a bit of a furry, warm touch.

Shadow immediately extended her slender, orchid-leaf-like tongue and licked Lu Changsheng’s palm.

After transforming into a catgirl, her pink tongue was not only much more slender and alluring but also covered with a layer of dense, tiny barbs, like small hooks, with a faint sheen.

Although licking the skin was much rougher and not as soft and smooth as a normal woman’s, the sensation, like fine sand gently rubbing, gave a subtle comfort.

Several days later.

In the Divine Maiden’s Furnace, Lu Changsheng looked at Shadow, her hair disheveled, her cheeks flushed, her body limp, her belly full of positive energy. He gently stroked her hot, trembling cat ears.

He had to say, the catgirl experience was quite good.

After Shadow transformed into her catgirl state, not only was her figure lithe and agile, as if boneless, unbelievably soft, but her physique was also comparable to that of a Third-Rank body refinement techniques.

This made Lu Changsheng think that Beast God Mountain’s inheritance was not entirely useless.

It still had many merits.

If the Nascent Soul True Lord of Beast God Mountain knew that Lu Changsheng approved of their inheritance for this reason, they would probably be so angry they’d come to kill him.

After all, no sect would tolerate the defilement of their inheritance.

After Shadow rested a bit and caught her breath, Lu Changsheng told her to try to keep the Holy Maiden of Beast God Mountain stable.

If she really couldn’t stall any longer, she should inform him and Hong Lian.

“Yes, Master.”

Shadow said with a gasp, her voice soft, with a hint of a cat’s coquettishness.

If the Holy Maiden of Beast God Mountain saw Shadow now, she’d be shocked, furious, thinking, ‘How did my cool and collected guard get trained like this!?’ One and a half months later, Lu Changsheng rode the Golden-Winged Roc across the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to the Jin Kingdom and the Five Poisons Sect.

When Ah Youduo saw Lu Changsheng, she wasn’t as overjoyed and lovesick as Ling Zixiao and the others, she simply asked if he had any business here.

After all, for a Nascent Soul True Lord like her, six or seven years wasn’t a long time, just a period of closed-door cultivation.

“I’m going to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons again to help Soul-Taking Beast advance to the Fourth Rank.”

Ah Youduo had seen the Soul-Taking Beast before, so Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

“Advance to the Fourth Rank!?”

Ah Youduo’s face was filled with surprise.

She had seen the Soul-Taking Beast’s methods and power, and knew how terrifying this spirit beast was.

It could almost instantly kill a Third-Rank Ghost King with a single Soul-Seizing Divine Light, swallowing it whole.

Even against a Fourth-Rank Ghost King, it could barely hold its own.

Once it advanced to the Fourth Rank, its power would be unimaginable.

But what surprised her most was that this spirit pet was at most Third-Rank Top-Tier seven years ago.

How could it be advancing to the Fourth Rank in just seven years? This was too fast, too incredible. Could it be that this spirit pet, like Lu Changsheng, was also a reincarnated demon emperor? Lu Changsheng didn’t explain further. He and Ah Youduo silently entered the Five Poisons Sect, then went to see Nangong Mili.

He had originally planned to bring his son Lu Minghuang along this time.

But on the one hand, it was a bit troublesome to go back and forth, and on the other hand, his son was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, fully focused on artifact refining, preparing to break through to Foundation Establishment by forging his own destiny’s spiritual artifact.

Unlike Ah Youduo, when Nangong Mili saw that Lu Changsheng had taken so long to see her and hadn’t brought their son, she gave him the cold shoulder, her phoenix eyes full of resentment.

Lu Changsheng was still willing to indulge Nangong Mili, the mother of two of his children.

And Nangong Mili, who had come this far in the Five Poisons Sect, wasn’t a brainless woman.

She knew that occasional petulance could be considered a couple’s affection, but if it was too much, it might affect both their moods.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng, who could now kill Nascent Soul True Lords, was still willing to be patient with her, the resentment in her heart quickly dissipated.

However, she always maintained her character and temper with restraint, neither suppressing herself nor making the other person feel her unique charm and connection.

While spending time with Nangong Mili and Ah Youduo, Lu Changsheng didn’t forget about Ina, with whom he had shared a month of passion.

“My Lord.”

Ah Youduo was well-prepared for Lu Changsheng’s visit.

Not only had she cultivated two Pregnancy Gu, but she had also obtained a Fertility Pill.

The Pregnancy Gu could constantly nourish the mother’s blood energy and meridians, creating the most suitable environment for the fetus and helping it grow.

The Fertility Pill could increase the probability of pregnancy.

And after conception, it enhanced the fetus’s constitution, making it healthier and stronger during gestation.

In addition, Ina had also practiced several secret techniques for pregnancy over the years. She was so well-prepared that it made Lu Changsheng feel ashamed.

He felt that if he didn’t produce a few offspring, he’d be letting down Ah Youduo and Ina’s preparations.

Nangong Mili saw Lu Changsheng’s joyful expression and felt a pang of jealousy.

This dog man really loves children, doesn’t he?

He already has hundreds of children, yet he’s still thinking about having more. She touched her smooth, flat belly, which was as beautiful as white jade, with a faint pink glow.

But thinking about her daughter Nangong Yaoyao and son Nangong Minghuang, if she had more, she wouldn’t have time to teach and care for them.

Besides, the cultivation world was currently experiencing undercurrents, a storm was brewing. She should take advantage of the Five Poisons Sect and try to cultivate to the peak of Core Formation. Although it was difficult for Lu Changsheng to get pregnant in his current situation.

But heaven never lets down anyone who works hard! With all the preparations and Lu Changsheng’s diligent efforts, one and a half months later, Ina successfully became pregnant, the aura of a new fetus growing in her belly.

Seeing Ina pregnant, the Five Poisons Sect Master was even happier than Lu Changsheng. She prepared many treasures for her, telling her to rest well and nurture the fetus.

Lu Changsheng was also full of anticipation for this fetus.

First, this was his first child after breaking through to the fourth level of body refinement.

It could better inherit his talents!

Second, the mother, Ina, had an Earth Spirit Root and late-stage Core Formation cultivation!

Third, Ah Youduo had prepared many pregnancy-enhancing spirit medicines and even had Ina practice a secret technique, using her own magical energy to nourish the fetus.

With such preparations, this fetus was truly winning at the starting line, even surpassing many of Lu Changsheng’s previous children.

One could only say that this child, even before birth, was highly anticipated by Ah Youduo and was being nurtured as an heir.

“Ina, rest well. Ah Youduo, I’ll go to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons alone.”

After finishing his business and seeing Ina pregnant, Lu Changsheng rested for a few days before setting off for the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

He didn’t bring Ah Youduo with him.

For one, she needed to oversee the Five Poisons Sect.

Also, with the Golden-Winged Roc, the Soul-Taking Beast’s increased combat power, and Qian Zhuyan as a helper.

As long as he didn’t go to the depths of the abyss and provoke those top-tier ferocious beasts and ghost kings, there would be no danger.

“Be careful, my Lord.”

Ah Youduo knew Lu Changsheng had many methods and didn’t insist.

Then, Lu Changsheng quietly flew towards the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

A month later, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

Lu Changsheng was filled with Chaos Qi, his Fourth-Rank body’s blood energy like a torch in the night, attracting some demonic beasts and ghost kings.

The Soul-Taking Beast, a few inches in size with bright fur, sat on his shoulder, constantly emitting Soul-Seizing Divine Light, sucking in all the phantoms from the surrounding ghostly fog.

Beside him, the tall, imposing Qian Zhuyan, with a cold, metallic texture like a steel war machine, was shocked to see the Soul-Taking Beast devour these ghosts.

Although she had a Fourth-Rank puppet body.

Her half-soul, half-puppet state gave her an instinctive fear of the Soul-Taking Beast.

With two previous experiences entering the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, this trip was very smooth for Lu Changsheng. He led the Soul-Taking Beast and started rampaging through the abyss.

Ghost kings below the Fourth Rank were almost helpless against the Soul-Taking Beast.

And when encountering demonic beasts below the Fourth Rank, Lu Changsheng simply killed them with a single swing of the Da Luo Sword Embryo.

As for Fourth-Rank demonic beasts, Lu Changsheng chose to avoid them, not wanting to waste his stamina.

As time passed, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan gradually approached the depths of the abyss, near the abyss layer.

He didn’t continue forward. He signaled Qian Zhuyan to prepare, then took out a dark blue, spirally twisted log from his storage ring, resembling a nebula, with a faint, cold glow.

This wood was called Soul-Luring Incense!

Its effect was similar to the Demon-Luring Grass that lured in demonic beasts.

But its main target was ghost kings.

Lu Changsheng ignited the Third-Rank Soul-Luring Incense he’d obtained from the Five Poisons Sect’s treasury with his Thunder Yang Dragon Flame.

Instantly, the Soul-Luring Incense burned with an almost transparent smoke, like a spirit snake, swirling in the air with a faint chill, then drifting in all directions.

Lu Changsheng sealed his pores and breath to prevent the Soul-Luring Incense from entering his body.

Although his Chaos Body was immune to all poisons.

This Soul-Luring Incense wasn’t a poison, but it had a hypnotic and slightly aphrodisiac effect.

Even if he wasn’t afraid, it would still affect his physical state.

As the Soul-Luring Incense spread, Lu Changsheng soon saw a surge of ghostly resentful energy in the distance, sweeping towards them.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

The Soul-Taking Beast looked at the approaching ghosts and squealed excitedly.

Along the way, it had eaten many ghosts, even ghost kings.

But it was only one step away from breaking through to the Fourth Rank, and it needed to accumulate enough energy to advance. These previous ghost kings were just snacks, far from enough to fill its belly.

“Humph!”

When the ghost kings gathered, the Soul-Taking Beast snorted forcefully through its large nostrils, emitting a brilliant, pale yellow light like a hurricane, sweeping up the many ghost kings.

These ghost kings struggled, their wails like the howling north wind in the cold night, piercing, chilling, and making one dizzy and terrified.

Lu Changsheng struck suddenly, unleashing a Yin-Yang Qi Great Capture to help the Soul-Taking Beast suppress these ghost kings, then sucked them into its belly.

This commotion instantly attracted an even greater surge of ghostly resentful energy from the depths of the abyss.

“Not good, let’s go!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes flashed with golden light, he could tell there was more than one Fourth-Rank ghost king. The Soul-Taking Beast beside him also sensed it, squeaking a warning.

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng used his Divine Ability, the Yin-Yang Glass Wall, and quickly left with the Soul-Taking Beast and Qian Zhuyan.

After all, if faced with multiple ghost kings, he and the Soul-Taking Beast wouldn’t be able to win.

During the battle, other ferocious beasts or ghost kings might arrive, making it very dangerous.

Although the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons was dangerous, and one had to be careful while traversing, with the possibility of poisonous insects or ferocious beasts suddenly attacking, for a Fourth-Rank body cultivator like Lu Changsheng, this was almost nonexistent.

If a Third-Rank ferocious beast suddenly attacked, it would likely be the one to get hurt, not Lu Changsheng! After a long time, when Lu Changsheng saw that the commotion had completely stopped and they had successfully shaken off the ghost kings, he turned back and continued to lure them.

Qian Zhuyan, watching Lu Changsheng’s actions, suddenly realized that in the Mirage Domain of Vast Sands years ago, when he placed the Golden-Winged Roc outside, it was also to lure enemies. However, with Lu Changsheng’s promise of revenge, an endless supply of heavenly materials to quietly study puppetry, and her recent advancement to a Fourth-Rank puppet body, she had no hatred for Lu Changsheng, even feeling fortunate to have met him.

After repeatedly luring for nine days, Lu Changsheng finally caught a lone Fourth-Rank ghost king.

Without hesitation, he manifested the Chaos Incarnation above his head, wielding the Da Luo Sword Embryo, and charged at the Fourth-Rank ghost king.

“Roar!”

The Soul-Taking Beast roared, entering battle form, transforming into a ferocious, black-faced, tusked beast of punishment, surrounded by Soul-Seizing Light, its aura overwhelming.

Then, the ambushing Qian Zhuyan and nine Third-Rank puppets formed a battle formation, trapping the Fourth-Rank ghost king.

This three-headed, six-armed, hideous ghost king, covered in indigo patterns, roared, forming circles of soul-stealing light around it, interfering with others’ souls.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had the Taiyi Spirit and was completely unaffected. He directly slashed at the ghost king, black aura spreading.

The Soul-Taking Beast growled, sucking in all the black aura, its huge maw trying to tear the ghost king apart.

“Roar!!!”

The ghost king roared, a blood-red,resentful energy-filled saber appearing in its hand. Instantly, ghostly wails filled the air, blood light sweeping in all directions, slashing at the Soul-Taking Beast.

Just then, behind Lu Changsheng, the three-headed, six-armed Brahma Demon True Form appeared, wielding the Mountain-Moving Whip, smashing down and colliding with the blood-colored saber, creating an ear-piercing shriek.

“Quick battle!”

As soon as the two sides clashed, Lu Changsheng felt a wave of terrifying ghostly aura spreading from all directions.

Not only can demonic beasts quickly grow and advance by killing their own kind.

These ghosts were even more so.

Every ghost king had devoured countless ghosts to reach this stage!

So instantly, a Fourth-Rank ghost king wanted to take advantage of the situation, devour this ghost king, and advance further! Lu Changsheng’s Nine Treasures Dao Bone surged, his magical energy and aura surging.

Then, the Yin-Yang Chart and the Three Treasure Incarnation above his head suddenly flew out, suppressing the ghost king.

The Golden-Winged Roc was on the side, ready to intercept any Fourth-Rank ghost kings or ferocious beasts that approached.

Fortunately, these Fourth-Rank ghost kings didn’t have the same tenacious vitality as demon kings.

After being severely injured and suppressed by Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan, the Soul-Taking Beast roared, its huge body expanding even further, then unleashed an unparalleled Soul-Seizing Divine Light, engulfing and swallowing the ghost king.

Even Lu Changsheng was surprised and delighted by the Soul-Taking Beast’s performance, thinking, ‘As expected of the nemesis of ghosts, a bane to evil! Once it advances to the Fourth Rank, it could probably sweep through the Yin Ghost Sect.’

He remembered that the Yin Ghost Sect’s grand formation was a Fourth-Rank ghost king-like existence with many ghost soldiers.

When he attacked the Yin Ghost Sect, he could let the Soul-Taking Beast devour all the ghost kings and ghost soldiers, breaking their mountain-protecting formation.

After all, as a Third-Rank Top-Tier formation master, Lu Changsheng clearly knew that the ghost kings and ghost soldiers formed by such a grand formation couldn’t be endless.

Not only did they require resources to cultivate, but they also consumed the spiritual vein’s essence.

Thinking of this scene, Lu Changsheng was filled with anticipation, wanting to see the expression on that old dog, the Ghost Lord’s face.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it, signaling the Soul-Taking Beast, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden-Winged Roc to leave quickly.

However, as they tried to leave, ghost kings pursued them, wanting to devour them.

Not only ferocious beasts and ghost kings.

Lu Changsheng’s abundant blood energy and magical energy were also very tempting to the many ghost kings and ferocious beasts in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

But unless a mid-stage Fourth-Rank ghost king or multiple ferocious beasts and ghost kings appeared, they were no match for Lu Changsheng.

After a few clashes, they also knew to retreat.

“Soul-Taking, is that enough?”

After escaping the battle, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan found a place to rest and asked the Soul-Taking Beast if this harvest was enough for it to grow to the Fourth Rank. The Soul-Taking Beast patted its round belly, then extended one finger, saying cutely, “One more.”

“???”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Soul-Taking Beast, which had returned to its small monkey form, wondering how it could fit so many ghosts and ghost kings in its belly.

And one Fourth-Rank ghost king wasn’t enough for it to advance? At this rate, if it wanted to advance to mid-stage or late-stage Fourth Rank, wouldn’t it have to eat the entire abyss?

Perhaps even eating the entire abyss wouldn’t be enough.

“Fine.”

Since they were already here, Lu Changsheng didn’t say much about hunting another Fourth-Rank ghost king.

He took a pill, sat cross-legged, and rested, preparing to continue luring ghost kings after his body was fully recovered.

The Soul-Taking Beast went straight to sleep, digesting the ghosts and ghost kings in its body, making Lu Changsheng a little envious.
