Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

“Hm!?”

Lu Changsheng was quite astonished to see Li Feiyu strike in an instant, directly reducing the elder to ash with a single palm.

He was surprised not only at the decisiveness of Li Feiyu’s action.

But also at Li Feiyu’s combat capabilities and techniques.

Compressing the Flame Bullet Technique in the palm, combined with his Innate Martial Arts, a single palm strike was launched, and without waiting for the force to explode, the high temperature of the flame bullet in the palm melted and burned the person, truly impossible to guard against.

“I didn’t really want to meddle, but he was asking for his own death.”

Li Feiyu snorted coldly, then laughed and said, “However, the effect of combining this spell with martial arts is indeed not bad.”

After killing the man, he appeared very indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

He then turned to Lu Changsheng and said, “I was indeed not wrong before; this old fellow was no good person, actually harboring malicious intentions towards us.”

“He was somewhat cautious, but his methods were too poor; he couldn’t even use poison properly.”

Li Feiyu said so.

“Poison?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng was stunned and somewhat incredulous.

He had thought that Li Feiyu saw something wrong with the elder and decided to make a preemptive strike.

It hadn’t occurred to him that Li Feiyu would say the elder used poison.

“That’s right, the dry food he brought probably had poison in it. When he came over, he had also hidden a kind of narcotic poison in his sleeve, intending to poison us stealthily when he bent over to make the fire.”

“He hid it quite well, but the execution was not very clever. Little did he know that I have been familiar with such things from a young age.”

Li Feiyu spoke, explaining to Lu Changsheng.

“It seems that not only is the Cultivation World dangerous, but the secular martial world is no better, with methods that are difficult to guard against.”

Lu Changsheng fell silent for a moment and shook his head reflectively.

He felt he was somewhat naive in front of Li Feiyu.

Like an old game player and a newbie.

Just now, he felt that there was something off about the elder and became slightly vigilant, but he had not detected the act of stealthy poisoning.

It seemed that the Nine Netherhound had just awoken from its sleep and barked fiercely, probably having sensed something as well.

No wonder it was a Heaven Rank Demon Beast with a trace of True Spirit Bloodline.

Even as a cub that slept all day, it had a keen sense for danger.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng made up his mind.

In the future, faced with such situations, he would either strike decisively first or keep his distance.

Otherwise, with his limited experience and temperament, he would be no match for these seasoned figures of the martial world and would inevitably find himself in trouble sooner or later.

“Such is the way of the world, the same everywhere.”

“Moreover, when you are in the martial world, you need to be particularly wary of Taoists, monks, the elderly, women, and children.”

Li Feiyu said.

“The elderly, women, and children? Does that mean only people like us don’t need to be so cautious?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“No, everyone must be cautious, but these types, in particular, require extra caution. If you encounter a mix of these together, you need to be even more vigilant.”

Li Feiyu smiled and said.

As the two of them were talking, the delicate girl dressed in a pink skirt also came back to her senses.

She had just witnessed Li Feiyu burn the elder to ashes with a palm strike, and she was so shocked that she had become completely stunned.

Now, as she regained her composure, she immediately came to kneel in front of Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu.

Her innocent and pitiful face seemed to want to say something, but no sound could be heard.

“Does she have any issues?”

With the recent events in mind, Lu Changsheng looked at the approaching girl and asked Li Feiyu.

In his eyes, the girl was just an ordinary person and naturally unproblematic.

But Li Feiyu’s words about being wary of the elderly, women, had made him feel less confident.

“She has no issues; she’s just a normal person.”

“It seems that she was likely kidnapped by that old man.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s expression, Li Feiyu chuckled and then flicked his finger, as several streams of Qi flew out, striking the girl.

The girl kneeling before them let out a muffled grunt and found that she could speak again.

It seemed as if I were waking from a dream, a flush of excitement coloring my face, wanting to speak.

But the sadness that had been suppressed to the extreme, at that moment, made her burst into tears.

At first, it was a high-pitched, fine wailing.

Then the crying grew louder and louder, sob after sob, releasing all the sadness, fear, and anxiety she had been holding inside.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu exchanged glances without a word.

Then Li Feiyu simply looked up, staring seriously at the beam above him.

Clearly not too keen on meddling, he was essentially leaving it up to Lu Changsheng to handle.

When the girl’s crying softened a little, Lu Changsheng spoke with a gentle tone, “Alright, it’s all right now.”

Hearing this, the girl lifted her face, which was as pitiable as it was charming, streaked with tears, and bowed deeply, “My name is Qu Zhenzhen, I am indebted to you two young heroes for saving my life.”

In her speech, a pair of bright, teary eyes welled up with tears, which slid down from the corners.

“Miss, don’t worry, take this money, and tomorrow we’ll be on our way to the nearby town. You can then find someone to send you home.”

Realizing that the girl before them was just an ordinary, pitiable person, Lu Changsheng sighed, helped her to her feet, and handed her a silver ingot.

Previously, in Ruyi County City, he had bought himself a Human Skin Mask and a cloak, as well as some gifts for his wives and children, using some gold and silver he had exchanged with Hong Yi.

“Wuu—”

No sooner had he spoken than the girl began to cry again, her voice breaking, “My parents are dead, they were killed by someone… Wuu…”

“This…”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched, suddenly feeling a headache coming on.

He looked towards Li Feiyu.

However, Li Feiyu was still looking intently at the beam above him.

Lu Changsheng sighed and asked, “Do you have any other relatives?”

“No more, my parents are dead.”

“Wuu, that villain said I have a Spiritual Root and wanted to offer me as a consort to an Immortal. My parents wouldn’t agree, so he killed my whole family, wuu…”

The girl cried continuously, her whole demeanor pitiable and helpless.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback.

“Spiritual Root!?”

He immediately used the Spiritual Eye Technique, his eyes shimmering with crystalline light as he gazed upon Qu Zhenzhen.

On the girl’s body, there was a faint halo of Spiritual Light.

This showed that she indeed possessed a Spiritual Root.

However, his mastery of the Spiritual Eye Technique was only at the beginner level, and he could only tell whether there was a Spiritual Root or not, not the quality of it.

Li Feiyu also looked towards the girl, somewhat surprised.

He had not expected the girl they had casually saved to actually possess a Spiritual Root.

This revelation made the two of them understand why the old man, an innate master, had been with such a girl.

Seeing the girl with tears rolling down her pitiful face, Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, “Miss, what are your plans for the future?”

“I… I don’t know.”

Qu Zhenzhen sobbed gently, her face a picture of bewilderment as she spoke.

“So, you mean to say you’re now homeless and unsure of what to do next?”

Lu Changsheng continued to inquire.

The girl looked lost and sad as she nodded and then began to cry once more.

“It so happens that I have taken a fancy to you at first sight. Would you be willing to marry me, accompany me home, and spend the rest of our lives together?”

Lu Changsheng spoke up.

Since the girl had lost her parents and had no home of her own, and also possessed a Spiritual Root, why not take her as a wife and bring her home to bear children?

He had always been thinking about marrying a few ‘fairies’ with Spiritual Roots to bear children.

Now, an attractive girl of marriageable age, with a Spiritual Root and no parents or home, presented herself before him. Why should he hesitate or pretend to be a morally upright gentleman?

It was only natural to take the initiative, express his feelings, and offer her a warm home.

However, he was not coercive; it all depended on the girl’s willingness.

If she was unwilling, then that would be the end of it. He wouldn’t insist.

After all, she could potentially be the mother of his future children.

His moral compass was not so skewed as to force someone to bear his children.
