Chapter 306: Chapter 143: The First Offspring Completes the Introduction of Qi into the Body!_2

His wife helped look after the ‘Peace Talisman Hall.’
Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge didn’t ask any further questions.
She simply asked Lu Changsheng to be more careful and vigilant.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue disguised themselves, concealing their true appearance, and left Red Leaf Valley Market.
Upon leaving the Marketplace, the two roamed aimlessly.
They slept in the wilderness, stargazed, admired the moon, listened to the rain, tasted tea, and practiced cultivation.
In this manner, roaming without purpose and taking in the sights, they arrived at a worldly city.
Disguised, the two, though still exuding an uncommon aura, did not shine too brightly or attract undue attention.
“Changsheng, I want to eat candied hawthorn on a stick!”
“Changsheng, I want to eat mung bean cake!”
“Changsheng, do you think those two sugar figurines look like us?”
Walking through the bustling city, Xiao Xiyue was like a lively and radiant young girl.
Gone was her previous aloof and serene fairy-like demeanor.
She held Lu Changsheng’s hand, moving through the streets with delight etched across her face.
Now looking here, now there.
Whenever she saw something tasty or fun, she would grab Lu Changsheng’s hand, a look of coquettish entreaty and hopeful expectancy on her face.
Just like an ordinary young girl from the secular world.
“This must be Xi Yue’s true nature,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he watched her.
He mused that cultivation, especially practicing the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, really had a significant impact on a person.
“Alright, alright, we’ll buy, buy, buy,” Lu Changsheng amiably responded to Xiao Xiyue’s requests.
There was not a trace of impatience on his face.
He bought her anything she wanted.
If Xiao Xiyue couldn’t carry an item, he helped her carry it.
If she took a few bites and left the rest, he took it to try.
If it tasted good, he had some; if not, it was discarded.
The two of them, just like a loving couple from the secular world, enjoyed themselves in the city.
“Last time, I spoke of how I used my life as an invitation card to respectfully welcome the young master into the martial arts world…”
The two wandered leisurely to a footbridge.
Xiao Xiyue, upon seeing someone storytelling, immediately took an interest and pulled Lu Changsheng over to listen.
Under the bridge, an old man in a robe was speaking animatedly.
“This Prince of the Northern Territory, guarded by Sword Divine, stepped out of the Northern Territory and into the martial arts world, thinking that the sky was high and the birds could fly freely.”
“Yet, this world of martial arts was not as splendid and colorful as it seemed to this young prince but was fraught with dangers because the moment he entered the martial arts world…”
“Today, this old man will leave the story here. If you want to know what happens next, come again tomorrow,” said the robed old man before bowing out half an hour later.
A young girl around the age of twelve came forward, carrying a copper basin, clearly expecting money.
However, only a few well-dressed people scattered around tossed some copper coins into the basin, leaving the young girl looking disappointed.
Xiao Xiyue, seeing this, gently tugged at Lu Changsheng’s sleeve.
“Good performance deserves a reward!”
Lu Changsheng smiled, instantly turned a silver ingot into fragments.
He then dropped a few silver fragments into the copper basin.
The sound of the fragments hitting the basin drew attention from onlookers.
No one expected such generosity.
The little girl was stunned.
She and her grandfather had never received such a substantial reward while storytelling at the footbridge.
“Er Ya, have you not thanked your benefactor yet?”
The storytelling elder saw this and quickly stepped forward, pulling the little girl to bow deeply, saying, “Thank you, young master, thank you benefactor!”
“No need for that,” Lu Changsheng gently waved off and, taking Xiao Xiyue’s hand, turned to leave.
“Changsheng, what that old gentleman was saying was quite interesting. I wonder what will happen to that young master afterward,” Xiao Xiyue said with a giggle, excitedly discussing the story’s potential developments with Lu Changsheng.
As she spoke, she spotted a fortune telling stall nearby and, once again intrigued, pulled Lu Changsheng to have their fortunes told.
But such fortune-telling would naturally not reveal any hidden great master from the dust of the world.
Seeing Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue as if they were a husband and wife, the fortune-teller offered a bunch of auspicious words.
Xiao Xiyue, listening to these words, was also quite happy.
So, the two of them spent more than half a month playing around the worldly city.
That night, accompanied by soft mournful sobs, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue completed their cultivation.
“Changsheng, I’m ready for Foundation Establishment,” Xiao Xiyue said, draped over Lu Changsheng’s body like mud, in a quiet voice.
Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback.
He had long anticipated this day.
He asked, “When are you planning to undergo Foundation Establishment?”
He knew that when Xiao Xiyue spoke those words, it meant she had made up her mind and had overcome the tribulation of emotions.
“Three months later, on the night of the full moon,” she replied.
“Then we will undergo Foundation Establishment together.”
Xiao Xiyue lifted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing at Lu Changsheng, her face suffused with a blush, and she was stunningly beautiful.
“Okay,” Lu Changsheng nodded and didn’t say anything more.
He knew too much talking was pointless.
He also didn’t want to say too much and affect Xiao Xiyue’s mood or her Foundation Establishment.
After all, in this world, cultivation is the paramount path.
Given the current situation of their identities, there was no way he could bring this beauty home to raise children.
So, once his own strength was about right, it would be all the same to bring her home as his bride.
As for the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique,
In Lu Changsheng’s view, if he could melt her heart once, he could do it a second time.
“Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?” asked Xiao Xiyue, regarding Lu Changsheng’s prompt agreement, she pursed her lips.
“Overcoming the emotional tribulation is a good thing,”
“Moreover, I will respect your choice,” Lu Changsheng said softly.
Man is not vegetation; who can be without passion?
Having spent a year with Xiao Xiyue, who was as cold as the moon yet lively and alluring, he was very fond of her.
In these circumstances, he certainly wouldn’t let her go.
