Translator: 549690339

Qingzhu Valley.

Within an ancient, exquisitely unique small building,

“Father, you’re actually making me marry that Lu Changsheng!”

“You know as well as anyone that Lu Changsheng is incredibly lecherous, not only has he married nine women from our Lu Family, but he also brings women from outside back home.”

“I heard that not long ago he went out and brought back two seductive fox spirits. How can you make me marry such a man!?”

A stunningly beautiful young woman around eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a black gauze dress, angrily looked at the Patriarch of the Lu Family in front of her.

“Huan’er, although Lu Changsheng may be a bit flirtatious, he is decent in other aspects. He’s down to earth, treats his wives and concubines quite well, and is very considerate and caring,” her father explained.

“Moreover, just yesterday, Lu Changsheng was promoted to a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master!”

“He has been with our Lu Family for just over four years, only touching Talisman Making for three and a half years.”

“During those three and a half years, our Lu Family didn’t bestow any special resources or training on him.”

“Under such circumstances, his reaching the level of a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master so quickly shows that he has a remarkable gift for Talisman Making, far surpassing your sister!”

“Unless something unexpected happens, he’s likely to become a Second Rank Talisman Master in the future. If you marry him, I will also rest assured.”

Lu Yuanding was earnestly trying to persuade his daughter.

After the idea of having his daughter, Lu Miaohuan, marry Lu Changsheng came to him during a recent meeting, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

So, once the meeting finished, he went to his daughter’s residence to discuss the matter.

He hoped to convince his daughter to marry Lu Changsheng.

“A First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master!?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaohuan’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.

As a young lady of the Lu Family, with her sister being a Talisman Master, she naturally knew how extraordinary it was for Lu Changsheng to become a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master under such conditions.

To call him a genius in Talisman Making was no exaggeration.

No wonder her father wanted her to marry Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng truly became a Second Rank Talisman Master one day, that status would make him a guest of honor wherever he went.

Even if he didn’t become a Second Rank Talisman Master, being a First Grade Top-Level Talisman Master was still quite remarkable.

She was aware that the Fourth Elder, who taught her sister Talisman Making, was a First Grade Top-Level Talisman Master.

He brought considerable stable profits to the Lu Family every year and held a high status.

But when she thought of all that Lu Changsheng had done, and how he had ogled her the first time she and her sister met him, she felt uncomfortable all over, unwilling.

Seeing his daughter’s reluctance, Lu Yuanding sighed and continued to persuade her.

“Huan’er, your mother passed away early, and your father hasn’t really governed or scolded you much, but in this matter, I truly have your best interests at heart. I hope you’ll listen to me.”

“This time Lu Changsheng has become a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master, and in light of his fine performance over the years, our Lu Family decided to marry a woman with the Spiritual Root to Lu Changsheng, truly incorporating him as one of our own.”

“Quite a few of the elders and clan seniors want to marry their granddaughters to Lu Changsheng. This priority chance was still something I fought for you.”

“You’re also not getting any younger and should consider this matter.”

At this moment, Lu Yuanding was not the Patriarch of the Lu Family, but a father, somewhat wistful as he spoke.

If Lu Miaohuan had been more promising, like Lu Miaoge, he naturally wouldn’t have worried about his daughter’s marriage.

After all, Cultivators not marrying is quite a normal, common occurrence.

“But Lu Changsheng only has a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, and so many wives and concubines…”

Lu Miaohuan, hearing her father’s words and seeing his attitude, pressed her lips together as she spoke.

She hadn’t expected that her father’s permission for her to marry Lu Changsheng was actually an opportunity he had fought for.

But upon reflection, she could understand the rationale behind it.

Qingzhu Mountain hosted hundreds of Lu Family Disciples.

Although these disciples possessed Spiritual Roots, most of them had limited prospects and little hope for Foundation Establishment.

When they reached a certain age, many would have their marriages arranged by the family, joining with other Cultivation families in the vicinity.

This was how these Cultivation families continued to develop and maintain a steady inflow of new blood.

Lu Changsheng, having entered the Lu Family as a live-in son-in-law, always living with the Lu Family, and showing good behavior, he was considered almost one of their own.

Now that he displayed such talent in Talisman Making, it was only natural for the clan’s elders to be very willing to marry a female disciple with a Spiritual Root to Lu Changsheng, tying him completely to the Lu Family.

“The Ninth Grade Spiritual Root doesn’t matter. With Lu Changsheng’s talent in Talisman Making, as long as our Lu Family is willing to invest in him, although Foundation Establishment may be out of reach, hoping to cultivate to the Energy Refinement Late Stage is still possible.”

“A Second Grade Talisman Master at the late stage of Energy Refinement would even earn a degree of respect from a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.”

“As for wives and concubines, you needn’t worry about that, Lu Changsheng’s current wives are mere mortal women.”

“If you marry him, you will naturally be his principal wife, and with your father here, how could I let you suffer any disadvantage?”

Seeing his daughter no longer being so obstinate, Lu Yuanding seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

After listening to her father’s words, Lu Miaohuan pursed her lips, remaining silent.

In her mind, she recalled the Lu Changsheng she had met before, who suddenly didn’t seem so detestable anymore.

After all, with her charm, anyone who saw her would inevitably take a few more glances, especially a lecher like Lu Changsheng.

Seeing his daughter like this, Lu Yuanding’s face broke into a smile, knowing she had tacitly agreed.

He gently proposed, “How about this, Miaohuan, tomorrow I’ll invite Lu Changsheng to the Bamboo Heart Lodge, and you can meet him there?”

“Hmm.”

Lu Miaohuan murmured a barely audible response.

Lu Changsheng was in the backyard playing with the children.

Having so many kids, he had built quite a few toys in the yard.

There were swings, slides, seesaws, trampolines, wooden horses, toy cars… and so on.

But at this moment, a group of little tykes was lining up to play flying with him.

He was using the Levitation Skill to let the little ones fly around in the air.

Or he would put the little ones on the wooden horses or toy cars and use the Object Manipulating Technique to fly them around in the air, to the great delight of the little ones, who screamed with joy.

Just then, Lu Changsheng heard one of his wives say that Lu Bo had come over.

He immediately knew it must be the response to his becoming a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master.

He asked his wives to watch the children while he quickly went to the living room.

“Lu Bo.”

Lu Changsheng greeted him with a slight bow.

“Not bad, not bad at all.”

Observing Lu Changsheng in front of him, Lu Bo suddenly nodded in approval.

He had not paid much attention before, but now that he took a closer look, Lu Changsheng could indeed be considered a handsome talent.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat puzzled by Lu Bo’s looks and manner.

“Lu Changsheng, the Family Head wants you to prepare well for tomorrow, to go to the Bamboo Heart Lodge for a marriage meeting.”

Lu Bo said with a smile.

“What?”

“The Family Head wants me to prepare for a marriage meeting at the Bamboo Heart Lodge tomorrow?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked puzzled.

He had been wondering if revealing his status as a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master would lead to any improved treatment within the Lu Family.

He hadn’t expected that the Patriarch of the Lu Family would actually want him to attend a marriage meeting?

However, Lu Changsheng quickly realized that this marriage meeting was probably not a simple affair.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s reaction, Lu Bo then cheerfully said, “That’s right, due to your ascent to becoming a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master and your performance over the years, the Family Head has decided to betroth his daughter to you.”

Upon hearing Lu Bo’s words, Lu Changsheng was shocked and simultaneously overjoyed.

The image of the dignified and fairy-like Miss Lu Miaoge immediately surfaced in his mind.

But the next moment, Lu Bo’s words dispelled his fantasy.

“Tomorrow you go meet her, perform well, and if it’s settled, you will truly become one of the family.”

“Don’t you want children with Spiritual Roots? The second Miss has a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, so if you marry her, the children you have in the future are very likely to inherit Spiritual Roots too,” Lu Bo spoke with a chuckle.

He already had a favorable opinion of Lu Changsheng.

Now that the Lu Family was considering fully integrating Lu Changsheng as one of their own, he felt even closer to Lu Changsheng, as if he were already family.
