Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Wedding!_1

Translator: 549690339

After Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun’s marriage was settled, the numerous wives and concubines in his backyard naturally came to know of it.

Even if there was harmony in the backyard and all the women were virtuous and gentle, upon hearing such news, some felt a touch of gloom and loss.

Not only was Lu Changsheng going to take another wife.

There were also reasons pertaining to the Lu Family.

After all, among these women, except for Qu Zhenzhen, the rest were daughters of the Lu Family.

Now that Lu Changsheng’s status in the Lu Family had risen, the family was marrying off a granddaughter of an elder with a Spiritual Root to Lu Changsheng.

And it was with all formalities, the giving of betrothal gifts and a grand wedding.

This naturally made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

On a regular basis, although they had distinctions as wives and concubines, they were not separated into different levels, all depending on Lu Changsheng’s affection.

Once this granddaughter of the elder became his wife, it need not be said that she would be the principal wife.

“Ladies, do not worry,”

“Towards you all, I have always been fair, and in the future, I will make up for it by arranging a grand wedding for each of you.”

Lu Changsheng also noticed that his wives and concubines were somewhat unhappy and spoke up to comfort them.

This group of wives and concubines had been with him for many years, all had borne him children twice, and were currently expecting the third, so naturally, there were strong emotions.

“Thank you, my lord.”

“My lord, we are fine.”

“The clan’s willingness to marry Miss Miaoyun to my lord also shows the high regard they have for you.”

Although the women felt gloomy inside, with a sense of regret that they had helped their husband rise to nobility, they soon adjusted, knowing this was the reality.

With Lu Changsheng’s current identity and status, they, as secular women without Spiritual Roots, also felt somewhat unworthy of him.

Being able to become Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines was already a fortunate thing.

It was incomparably better than many other sisters, best friends, and acquaintances.

Moreover, after so many years of living together, they had come to understand Lu Changsheng’s character.

They knew that their husband was not heartless, one who would forget old love upon finding new.

That night,

Lu Changsheng came to comfort his wives and concubines.

And perhaps stimulated by the day’s events, each concubine exerted extra effort, all joining together and using a myriad of techniques.

Afterwards—

Lu Changsheng lay on the bed with the women in his arms and couldn’t help but think to himself.

Indeed, one is influenced by one’s surroundings.

His wives and concubines never had so many tricks up their sleeves before.

Through the recent contact with Jiu’er and Shui’er, who were sent by Hong Yi, they had learned so many new tricks.

If this continued daily, how could one withstand it?

In the blink of an eye, eighteen days had passed.

The wedding of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun began.

Unlike the simple ceremonies of Lu Changsheng’s previous two weddings,

this wedding was very formal and lively.

All of Qingzhu Mountain was festive, decked out in lights and decorations, hung with large red lanterns.

That day, Lu Changsheng also woke up early.

He was dressed by two women, combed his hair, wore a golden crown, and changed into a red brocade groom’s outfit.

Then, with a big red flower on his chest, he mounted a spiritual steed, led the wedding procession, and came to the Fourth Elder’s residence with much fanfare to receive the bridal palanquin.

Since both families lived in Qingzhu Valley of the Lu Family and were not far apart, after Lu Changsheng placed Lu Miaoyun, dressed in fiery red bridal attire and in her Phoenix Crown and Rosy Clouds Robe, into the bridal palanquin, he led the procession around the entirety of Qingzhu Mountain.

Along the way, many of the Lu Family disciples came to watch the wedding.

“I still remember standing here four years ago, witnessing Lu Changsheng entering our Lu Family as a live-in son-in-law. Who could have thought that after just over four years, he would be marrying our Miaoyun?”

“There’s no helping it, who can blame someone for having such a good talent for talisman making?”

“Indeed, who would have thought that a son-in-law brought in for breeding purposes would possess such talisman-making talent!”

“A Middle Grade Talisman Master, no less, who became one in just over three years, even surpassing Sister Miaoge’s talent in talisman making. The Fourth Elder might be looking to have him succeed him by marrying off a member of the Miaoyun Clan to Lu Changsheng.”

“Having married a sister from the Miaoyun Clan, with the care of the Fourth Elder, Lu Changsheng has really soared high.”

“Lu Changsheng only has a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, no matter what, he has no hope of achieving Foundation Establishment in this life.”

“Foundation Establishment? I have a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root and even I dare not dream of achieving Foundation Establishment without some fortuitous opportunity.”

“But this Lu Changsheng really has changed a lot, I remember when he first arrived he seemed so ordinary, but now he is quite handsome.”

“He’s always engrossed with women, he must have practiced some sort of cultivation technique for preserving youth and beauty.”

“If only I had married Lu Changsheng earlier.”

Many disciples from the Lu Family, seeing the handsome and tall Lu Changsheng riding a spiritual horse to marry Lu Miaoyun, expressed their feelings of admiration and envy.

In just four and a half short years, many of them witnessed Lu Changsheng’s entry into the Lu Family as a ‘breeding’ son-in-law.

Then he became a talisman-making apprentice, a Talisman Master, moved to Qingzhu Valley, and now he’s marrying the granddaughter of the Fourth Elder.

The Immortal Seedlings who came to the Lu Family as sons-in-law with Lu Changsheng saw him on the spiritual horse and felt an incomparable envy, as if it were something out of a dream.

Back then, they were all eliminated by Qingyun Sect and came to the Lu Family as sons-in-law.

Now, four and half years have passed, and they are still ‘breeding’ for the Lu Family, working to complete the task of producing fifty descendants over twenty years.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng has already married the direct granddaughter of the Fourth Elder of the Lu Family, a female cultivator with a Spiritual Root.

To know, this Fourth Elder is a first-grade top-level Talisman Master.

With an extraordinary status in the Lu Family, Lu Changsheng’s marriage to his granddaughter made everyone envious.

In the crowd, Li Feiyu watched this scene, reflecting on their shared past coming to the Lu Family, also filled with mixed emotions.

But still, he felt happy for Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng rode the spiritual horse, aware of the various gazes on himself, and couldn’t help feeling a bit of the pride of riding on the spring breeze.

He felt that after enduring so long in the Lu Family, he had finally made something of himself.

However, he was very clear in his heart, in this world where the strong prey upon the weak and power is respected.

Cultivation and strength are the true paths to supremacy!

His current status and position were all owing to his talisman-making skill.

It was a shortcut, like a rootless weed or a pavilion in the sky.

He must not get carried away!

After making a circuit around the entire Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng brought the bride back to his mansion.

With many senior members of the Lu Family as witnesses, the wedding began.

“Pay respects to heaven and earth!”

“Pay respects to the high hall!”

“The couple bows to each other!”

“Escort to the bridal chamber!”

After the wedding was completed, Lu Miaoyun was finally ranked as Lu Changsheng’s main wife.

Lu Changsheng had known about this well in advance.

He did not contend for these titles or status with the Lu Family, so as not to displease the Fourth Elder.

His other wives and concubines were also prepared from the beginning and understood the situation.

After sending the bride to the bridal chamber, Lu Changsheng untied the large red flower and went out to receive the guests.

On this day, he got to know the higher echelons, clan elders, and Guest Elders of the Lu Family.

He was officially inducted into the inner circle of the Lu Family and became one of their own.

During this process, he saw the Fifth Elder of the Lu Family, who proposed the idea of buying Beryl Bamboo Wine during the toasting.

Hearing this, the Fifth Elder readily agreed.

He also mentioned that his family had many other kinds of Spiritual Wine, and Lu Changsheng could come to taste and purchase them later.
