Chapter 927: Who is the Most Handsome Man in the World, Bloodline!

Right away under the watchful eye of the Green Dragon King and with the Turtle Immortal Patriarch standing guard to assist, Lu Changsheng activated the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex to draw out and purify the toxins entwining Ao Long’s soul.

At that moment a thought flickered from the Peach Blossom Gu nestled in Lu Changsheng’s sea of consciousness between his brows.

It reminded him this was a golden opportunity.

By merging their souls to cleanse the toxins they could spark a wondrous emotion and deepen their bond.

Over the past month watching Lu Changsheng detoxify Ao Long without any progress in their relationship had left the Peach Blossom Gu truly anxious.

Clearly both sides harbored feelings.

Yet Lu Changsheng acted like a perfect gentleman showing no hint of flirtation sticking strictly to physical contact.

Now with this prime chance right in front of him he still wanted to play the upright man. The Peach Blossom Gu couldn’t stand it anymore and took the initiative to remind him.

It felt if Lu Changsheng didn’t seize the moment this romantic connection might slip away turning into a missed opportunity.

“I Lu am always upright and honorable. How could I stoop to the level of a filthy bug like you!”

Sensing the Peach Blossom Gu’s reminder Lu Changsheng felt deep disdain unwilling to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state.

Peach Blossom Gu: “???”

So you praise the meal while eating then complain about the bowl once full and curse the cook after?

Unlike other Gu insects that required feeding with heavenly treasures it the Peach Blossom Gu fed on its host’s romantic fortunes.

Over a hundred years it had advanced from a larval Gu to fourth-rank which said everything.

And now you dare accuse me of dirty thoughts?

After breaking through to fourth-rank and ascending to Immortal Gu its abilities had fully enhanced along with its spiritual awareness.

It knew its master’s true nature.

It could clearly sense Lu Changsheng’s affection toward the Ao Long before him including romantic desires.

If Lu Changsheng had no interest in Ao Long that would be one thing.

But he clearly did!

Moreover the Peach Blossom Gu could sense that Ao Long held strong emotional thoughts toward its master.

Their romantic fortunes were already entwined.

If Lu Changsheng just took a slight initiative they would likely succeed!

Letting such a romantic fortune slip away would be a grave insult to the Peach Blossom Gu.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

Lu Changsheng as the person involved could be hypocritical and pretend to be proper but the Peach Blossom Gu couldn’t!

Besides its host had invested so much effort to help it ascend to Immortal Gu precisely hoping it would shine in matters like this right?

Immediately the Peach Blossom Gu stirred the romantic fortunes of Lu Changsheng and Ao Long further pushing and promoting their entanglement.

Fortune is formless intangible ethereal and hard to grasp.

Romantic fortune is the same.

Unless one possesses the divine ability to observe fortunes and auras it’s hard to perceive.

Under normal circumstances Lu Changsheng could vaguely sense it.

But now fully focused and concentrating on helping Ao Long purify the soul toxins he didn’t notice.

He only marveled at how Ao Long under such deadly poison merely appeared weak and listless.

Ao Long wore a blue-purple dress shimmering with watery light as if woven from dragon scales and shark silk. She lay weakly on her side on the jade-carved bed her figure graceful and curves striking allowing Lu Changsheng to purify the toxins wrapping her soul.

Even without soul merging.

But opening her soul like this letting Lu Changsheng cleanse the deadly toxins entwining it still stirred an indescribable wondrous feeling in Ao Long.

It felt like being embraced by a lover her heart fluttering inexplicably moved.

Her eyes like molten gold in the blazing sun half-closed gazing at Lu Changsheng’s strikingly handsome face fully absorbed and focused on purifying her toxins.

She found him more and more captivating the longer she looked.

How could there be such an ethereally handsome man in the world!

If not for her poor condition and unhealed injuries Ao Long even entertained the idea of claiming him on the spot then marrying him and taking him home.

After a long while Lu Changsheng exhaled a turbid breath and stopped the detoxification.

Though he possessed the Chaos Body and the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex.

This deadly poison was terrifying he couldn’t fully immunize or ignore it.

Moreover he remained wary of the Green Dragon King and Ao Long.

He couldn’t deplete himself too much during detoxification affecting his state.

“Miss Ao rest for now. Tomorrow I’ll continue detoxifying you.”

Lu Changsheng said his face showing some fatigue his handsome ethereal features gentle and jade-like.

“Thank you Fellow Daoist Wang.”

Ao Long snapped back from Lu Changsheng’s handsome visage speaking softly her beautiful eyes tinged with shyness and affection.

Through the soul detoxification she realized Lu Changsheng not only had an exceptional physique but his soul was also extraordinary reaching late-stage Nascent Soul level.

Late-stage Nascent Soul counted as a major cultivator anywhere.

At this moment Ao Long grew more and more satisfied with Lu Changsheng as her future husband.

Not only did he have a physique comparable to a fourth-rank demon king but also a late-stage Nascent Soul soul.

If she married him he could surely become her capable helper and perhaps even aim for Spirit Transformation in the future!

As a pureblood direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan aspiring to become a fifth-rank demon emperor Ao Long had some standards for her husband.

She didn’t want him to be just a pretty face good-looking but useless.

The current Lu Changsheng satisfied her perfectly.

She decided once her injuries and condition recovered she’d take Lu Changsheng back to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace!

“Did you tamper with the romantic fortunes between me and Miss Ao?”

Back in his cave residence Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged suddenly sensing something and asked the Peach Blossom Gu in his sea of consciousness.

“Buzz” The Peach Blossom Gu indicated it saw its master had feelings and their romantic fortunes were already entwined so it chose to push things along.

“No need for that.”

Lu Changsheng said softly.

He couldn’t say he had no interest in Ao Long.

Her appearance figure and bloodline talent were all top-tier making her an excellent candidate for his children’s mother.

But right now he had a pile of matters on his hands.

Spending too much time on Ao Long would inevitably delay other things.

Moreover through these days of detoxification he could tell Ao Long’s strength was no less than the Green Dragon King or Turtle Immortal Patriarch.

Provoking her would make it hard to subdue her.

And according to the Turtle Immortal Patriarch Ao Long carried the Azure Dragon bloodline as a pureblood descendant.

With such bloodline bearing offspring with her would be extremely difficult.

It would require heavenly treasures to achieve.

Better to use this chance to build goodwill leave a good impression and continue the connection in the future.

“Nothing should be rushed. At this realm one can vaguely sense changes in fortunes. If you interfere it might backfire.”

Lu Changsheng knew the Peach Blossom Gu now had spiritual awareness comparable to a person’s so he explained.

If Ao Long sensed him manipulating their romantic fortunes her impression of him might worsen.

The Peach Blossom Gu immediately assured that Ao Long had already fallen for Lu Changsheng and with their fortunes entwined if he took the initiative it would surely succeed.

“Fallen for me?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised.

During their interactions he naturally noticed goodwill in Ao Long’s expressions and gazes.

But he hadn’t taken it seriously.

Thinking it was Ao Long’s disguise.

Just like her display of weak pitiful innocence.

“Yes.”

The Peach Blossom Gu faceless and mouthless resembling a pink little figure nodded.

After ascending to Immortal Gu it could vaguely sense through romantic fortunes whether someone had feelings for Lu Changsheng.

“Are you sure?”

Lu Changsheng frowned somewhat disbelieving.

Not that he lacked confidence in his charm.

But his contact with Ao Long was very limited.

Beyond detoxification they barely chatted how could she have fallen for him?

If it were a Qi Refining Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation girl captivated by his looks temperament speech and charm that would make sense.

But Ao Long was a fourth-rank shapeshifting demon king a pureblood true spirit descendant!

For such a being to fall for him after just helping detoxify over a month?

Had his charm reached such heights?

“Certain.” The Peach Blossom Gu nodded firmly assuring it absolutely wouldn’t sense wrong.

“Hiss”

So my charm has reached this level?

Lu Changsheng stroked his chin lost in thought for a moment then pulled out the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror from his bosom saying “Ah Wu Ah Wu who is the most handsome man in the world.”

“.” In the mirror Ah Wu’s delicate youthful face was expressionless her eyes like golden sun and bright moon quietly watching Lu Changsheng.

“Alright.” Lu Changsheng knew Ah Wu had a emotionless personality and wouldn’t joke around.

Even due to certain matters she held some grudge against him as her master.

“Spirit Whale Spirit Whale who is the most handsome man in the world.”

Lu Changsheng then looked at Lu Lingjing sleeping on the Heavenly Yuan Lotus.

“???” Lu Lingjing waking from sleep looked adorably confused not understanding what her master was asking.

If asked what was the tastiest in the world she’d say heavenly dew.

But the most handsome man what was that could it be eaten?

“Never mind.” Seeing Lu Lingjing’s childlike cute dazed look Lu Changsheng couldn’t help shaking his head.

Thinking at her age and as a demon beast she wouldn’t understand beauty or ugliness.

Lu Changsheng not giving up said “If you answer correctly Master will reward you with a drop of dew.”

The confused still half-asleep Lu Lingjing instantly perked up inspiration striking as she said crisply “It’s Master! Master is the most handsome man in the world!”

“Good continue sleeping.” Lu Changsheng nodded satisfied rewarding her with a drop of spiritual dew.

Lu Lingjing caught the dew gently licking it her small face showing contentment and lingering desire.

Then she continued loudly “Master is the most handsome man in the world!”

“That’s the truth no reward.”

Lu Lingjing smacked her lips disappointed as if savoring the dew’s taste then went back to sleep.

Though sleeping in human form wasn’t as comfortable.

But in the Green Dragon King’s palace she felt even more uneasy preferring the Sea Eye in Da Mengze.

In the following days Lu Changsheng continued helping Ao Long with soul detoxification.

Thanks to the Peach Blossom Gu’s reminder during the process he paid extra attention observing Ao Long’s expressions demeanor and gazes.

Under his late-stage Nascent Soul soul observation he indeed noticed some signs.

Besides frequently showing goodwill and admiring beauty Ao Long occasionally revealed a hint of possessiveness and conquest desire.

Like how he sometimes saw certain women such as Nangong Mili Yun Wanshang and the Shen Jianjia sisters.

“So her feelings for me are mostly love at first sight driven by appearance?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned inwardly.

Though he understood such instant attraction.

And he was confident in his looks appearance and temperament.

But thinking of Ao Long’s usual weak soft-spoken pitiful demeanor and her status as a fourth-rank shapeshifting demon king left him somewhat dazed.

“But do demons and humans share the same aesthetics?”

Lu Changsheng pondered inwardly.

Though all beings in the world generally shared similar notions of beauty and ugliness.

There were still certain differences in aesthetics between humans and demons.

For example he wasn’t fully appreciative of Ao Long’s current form with incomplete transformation her feet like dragon claws.

He found soft white delicate and translucent feet more aesthetically pleasing.

Lu Changsheng didn’t change his prior thoughts just because Ao Long had feelings for him.

Through observation and judgment plus what the Turtle Immortal Patriarch said Ao Long with Azure Dragon bloodline was likely not truly weak but proud and domineering.

Subduing such a fourth-rank demon king now would be quite difficult for him.

Better to maintain goodwill first.

Wait for later to continue this connection when circumstances allow.

Resolving the soul poison was slightly slower than the body poison taking about two months to clear.

“Thank you Fellow Daoist Wang!”

With all poisons cleared Ao Long felt completely relieved her gaze toward Lu Changsheng heating up a bit.

As for the rampaging power in her body beyond her control given time or returning to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace she could fully master it greatly increasing her strength.

“You’re too kind Miss Ao. Now that the poisons are cleared your condition is stable with no major issues. As for this rampaging power in your body I can help suppress it try to remove or control it.”

Lu Changsheng in his green robe smiled.

Knowing Ao Long was smitten with him at first sight Lu Ancestor did his best to display his charm.

“Fellow Daoist Wang has such means?”

These days it had always been the Turtle Immortal Patriarch and Green Dragon King helping suppress this rampaging power then Lu Changsheng detoxifying.

She hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng could also help her control this power.

In this moment Ao Long couldn’t be more satisfied with Lu Changsheng.

“We can try.”

Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile his lips always curved in confidence.

His Yin-Yang Creation Sutra might be average in combat but its functional effects were incredibly powerful.

It had the effect of coordinating all laws balancing yin and yang.

Ao Long’s current situation was likely from gaining some opportunity or heavenly treasure exceeding her capacity to control.

“Alright then I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Wang~” Ao Long looked at Lu Changsheng’s strikingly handsome confident demeanor feeling an itch in her heart immediately responding softly.

Her molten gold eyes affectionate as if veiled in mist.

As the saying goes what you can’t have always stirs desire.

A few months for a fourth-rank demon king like her was just a nap’s time.

But these days felt endlessly long to her.

She felt Lu Changsheng was constantly tempting her.

She wished she could claim him on the spot and take him back to the Eastern Sea.

If she could fully control this power taking Lu Changsheng back to the Eastern Sea would be much easier.

“.” The nearby Green Dragon King had grown used to his master’s demeanor.

He knew this human cultivator Lu Changsheng might become his male master in the future.

Though he couldn’t understand what was so attractive about this pretty boy but since Ao Long liked him and instructed respect he complied.

While Lu Changsheng step by step resolved Ao Long’s bodily issues in Jiang Kingdom’s Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

The Golden-Winged Roc had brought Lu Baixi to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range for training and half a year had passed.

In this half year Lu Baixi fully followed the Golden-Winged Roc’s advice stimulating her bloodline potential through battles and frenzied eating.

Though her White Snake bloodline differed from the Golden-Winged Roc’s not focused on killing and combat.

But through this process of fighting and slaughter her bloodline potential was still awakened.

Like the many heavenly treasures she consumed early on accumulated deep in her body not fully digested into potential.

Now through slaughter battles and severe injuries they were gradually digested turning into foundational potential.

One could say in half a year Lu Baixi made tremendous progress.

However half a year’s slaughter changed Lu Baixi’s appearance and temperament considerably.

Her crystalline silky hair was tied into a crisp high ponytail her exquisite flawless sacred face gained an indescribable coldness and solemnity.

The white-gold snake pattern on her brow shone brilliantly echoing her white-gold gleaming pupils. When gazing at others it carried a condescending sole supremacy judgment vibe very intimidating.

But this cold intimidating aura compared to the distant gold-haired stern youth in black-gold armor was still far off.

Seeing the third-rank demon king meat in the big pot nearly cooked the Golden-Winged Roc slapped the quasi-third-rank demon beast fighting Lu Baixi and shouted “Little Creek come eat.”

Though the Golden-Winged Roc believed its true spirit bloodline should stimulate potential through constant slaughter and battles.

It firmly believed in three parts training seven parts eating.

So in eating it never shortchanged Lu Baixi.

Stuffing all harvested heavenly treasures into her mouth.

Even cooking the hunted third-rank demon king meat in a big cauldron.

Lu Baixi’s all-around improvement over half a year was inseparable from the Golden-Winged Roc’s feeding.

“Coming.” Lu Baixi no longer wore her elegant white flowing dress but a somewhat damaged black-gold armor.

Though her combat style should lean toward White Snake inheritance music and spells.

But for this training she used the Golden-Winged Roc clan’s Heavenly Demon Saint-Slaying Art focused on close combat so she donned armor.

“Eat up. Once full you can try breaking through.”

The Golden-Winged Roc told Lu Baixi feeling her cultivation had reached current limits no need for more training.

Break through to third-rank sooner complete the task and return to sleep earlier.

Otherwise accompanying Lu Baixi though easy was quite boring.

“Mm-hmm.” Lu Baixi trusted the Golden-Winged Roc’s words believing if he said she could break through there was no issue.

After they ate their fill the Golden-Winged Roc took Lu Baixi to a seized third-rank spiritual land for breakthrough.

Deep in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range a youthful twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in exquisite snow-white dress with snow-like white hair eating while hurrying suddenly gazed toward Lu Baixi’s direction.

Her pupils gleamed with pale gold light a brilliant single horn on her forehead flowing with sacred pure silver luster.

“This is… White Snake bloodline?”

Though young the girl’s features were extremely refined.

Like carved from pink jade flawless like the world’s purest pearl shining with beautiful captivating luster.

Her figure petite and immature filled with youth yet under the snow-white dress clear curves were visible.

Under the skirt hem like a Tianshan snow lotus her bare slender jade feet like carved from fine jade skin exceptionally white and creamy as if rippling with milk and honey crystalline and translucent utterly beautiful and alluring.
