“Since that’s the case, let’s call him… Lu Chensha.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his son, pondered for a moment, then said softly.
“Chensha…”
Xu Ruyin heard the name, thought of dust and gravel, and felt that the name was not auspicious, too humble.
But she naturally had no words to refute Lu Changsheng’s choice, she could only nod and respond, “Thank you, husband.”
“You’ve been delayed in your Qi Refinement for so long, it’s time for a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment.”
...
Lu Changsheng picked up the child and whispered.
Then, he looked towards the System Space, with a slight movement of his Mental Spirit, he extracted the ‘Heavenly Demon Phoenix’ from the system.
Suddenly, a large bird that appeared golden, as if adorned with flame-like patterns, emerged.
This Heavenly Demon Phoenix was still in its juvenile stage, approximately the size of an adult peacock, majestic with a touch of naivety.
“Husband…”
Xu Ruyin, having heard this, gazed upon the Heavenly Demon Phoenix before her, her body trembling abruptly, her hands covering her mouth, nearly bursting into tears.
Happiness had come too fast, too unexpectedly!
Years of effort, dreams, expectations, and perseverance came to simple fruition at this moment.
Over the years, though she submitted to Lu Changsheng, she often regretted her rash actions of the past and questioned if it was worth it.
But the words of her parents, her family, Ling Zixiao, and Senior Red Lotus kept her steadfastly persevering.
Now, she finally reached this day!
The day when Lu Changsheng recognized her!
At this moment, her heart was filled with endless gratitude towards Lu Changsheng.
Within this gratitude, however, were several complex emotions.
There was admiration and awe, submission and reverence, and the humiliation from her early years of serving Lu Changsheng.
“Thank you, husband.”
Xu Ruyin bowed in a salute.
Although Lu Changsheng now allowed her to address him as husband, she still clearly positioned herself.
Aware of the other’s fearsomeness, she believed she could give herself, perhaps even take back.
“Indeed, these days you should cultivate well, and I will have someone take care of the child.”
Lu Changsheng gently stroked Xu Ruyin’s soft and shiny red hair and spoke.
“Yes, husband.”
Xu Ruyin responded upon hearing this, looking at the Heavenly Demon Phoenix before her.
Through the Beast Technique, she could clearly sense that the bloodline grade of this Heavenly Demon Phoenix was not merely of Heaven Rank, even subtly surpassing the Cold Blue Dark Turtle she had before.
Furthermore, her two current Pet Beasts, the Fire Python Tiger and the Heavenly Fire Mink, were both of Fire Attribute.
If she continued to integrate with Fire Attribute Demon Beasts, it could significantly enhance the power of her Foundation Establishment’s Life-bound Spiritual Fire, the ‘Beast Spirit True Fire.’
Moreover, considering Pet Beast combinations, with two terrestrial beasts, she also needed a flying Spiritual Beast.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix given by Lu Changsheng, despite still being a juvenile, was practically a perfect fit for her current needs.
“How many Heaven Rank Demon Beasts does he possess…”
Xu Ruyin couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Lu Changsheng.
She believed Lu Changsheng knew her needs, therefore he selected such a Demon Beast for her.
It wasn’t just her.
The Hong Lian within the Ancient Beast Taming Charm in the Sea of Consciousness felt the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and woke up, astonished.
“This must be a Phoenix Bird with True Spirit Phoenix Bloodline!”
Hong Lian exclaimed.
Her affiliated power, Vermilion Bird Palace, had legends claiming its founder had connections with the True Spirit Vermilion Bird!
Thus, their lineage was quite knowledgeable about spiritual birds like Phoenix and Vermilion Bird.
“True Spirit Phoenix…”
Xu Ruyin was amazed upon hearing this.
She knew that any connection to True Spirits like the Phoenix or Vermilion Bird was extraordinary.
The future of the Demon Beast, once it activates the trace of Bloodline within, could soar to the heavens!
Immediately, she saw Lu Changsheng leaving with the child, so she took a deep breath, hugged the Heavenly Demon Phoenix before her, and entered the Changsheng Hall.
She began to bond with the ‘Beast Technique,’ intending to raise this Heavenly Demon Phoenix as her Life-bound Beast!
…
It is said that a short parting is sweeter than a new marriage.
Having been away for over two years, Lu Changsheng naturally had to love his wives and concubines well.
Over the next few days, he engaged in nights of passionate battle, countless entanglements, experiences so passionate and entwined that they are better left untold to others.
If Lu Changsheng hadn’t been robust, an ordinary person truly couldn’t have endured.
One must admit, having a wife and concubines does require sufficient capability.
After loving his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng also thought about getting down to business.
He gave the Abyssal Ghoul Blossom and the Coexisting Spiritual Plants from Mount Sumeru to Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen.
Casually, he checked on the condition and cultivation progress of his children.
“Father.”
At this time, Lu Ping’an found Lu Changsheng.
He reported his breakthrough to the Second Level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art and his mastery of the ‘Baogu Method.’
“Sixth Level Energy Refinement, Second Level Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng knew his son wanted to go out for experiential training.
Through the system, he had long been aware of his son Lu Ping’an’s breakthrough to the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement and the breakthrough of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.
He was just waiting for his own return, waiting for his approval before setting out for training.
“Do you have any plans or ideas for your travels?”
Lu Changsheng asked his son.
“I’m not sure, I want to visit Qingyun Market, and if it’s further, I might consider visiting Jiuxiao Immortal City.”
Lu Ping’an scratched his head and grinned.
“Qingyun Market, Jiuxiao Immortal City…”
Lu Changsheng pondered a moment upon hearing this, then nodded agreement to his son’s request for travel.
Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes.
The child was grown, and what they wished to do was up to them.
Keeping them at home like flowers was clearly not feasible.
He couldn’t possibly cultivate all his children at home himself.
They needed to make a bit of effort themselves, and then he would give them a push.
Thinking that he had not visited Ruyi Prefecture for a long time, Lu Changsheng decided to make a trip there later to visit his wives and children.
