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

“That’s right, I heard Lu Daoist is a Talisman Master, so there is a matter I wish to trouble Lu Daoist with,”

the girl in the purple dress said with a smile as she quickly walked toward Lu Changsheng.

“What matter?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he heard this.

Though his identity as a Talisman Master was not a secret, he did not know this girl.

The sudden approach of a stranger asking for a favor left him somewhat baffled.

“It’s just…”

The girl in the purple dress had just begun to speak when her eyes suddenly shone with a bewitching purple light.

It was brilliant and soul-snatching, causing Lu Changsheng’s mental spirit to waver in an instant.

However, just as Lu Changsheng felt his heart flutter and his mind waver, a cleansing spiritual essence burst from the cold jade pendant on his chest.

It quickly brought him back from his dazed stupor.

“Not good!”

Lu Changsheng regained his senses, immediately realizing that something was amiss.

The girl in the purple dress in front of him was problematic!

She had just tried to employ some sort of technique on him.

He promptly sought to activate the body-protecting techniques of his magical robe and the cold jade pendant.

But at that instant,

a tingling pain spread like numbness from his neck.

It felt as though he had been bitten by something.

It made his mental spirit flutter faintly.

Yet, in the blink of an eye,

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng felt the Peach Blossom Gu at his brow burst forth with a powerful will.

This breath of will was like an erupting volcano, a pouring river,

like an imperious beast that had been defied, unleashing its grandeur in the face of provocation!

It suppressed the trembling of his mental spirit.

The pink peach blossom mark, usually concealed on Lu Changsheng’s forehead, emerged involuntarily, radiating a rose glow.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Accompanied by the outburst of the Peach Blossom Gu’s breath of will, a slight hissing sound arose.

Lu Changsheng immediately heard a faint buzzing noise.

Behold, a tiny blood-red bug swiftly flew away from his neck.

Lu Changsheng, seeing this, enveloped his palm with spiritual power and swiftly grabbed.

Like a hawk seizing a rabbit, he tightly captured the tiny creature in his hand.

Then, producing a stack of Talismans, he looked toward the girl in the purple dress.

“Hiss!”

At this moment, the girl let out a muffled grunt.

Her face filled with disbelief as she looked at Lu Changsheng.

Not understanding what was happening.

What was wrong with the Lockheart Gu?

In that instant, she felt a powerful will emanating from the Lockheart Gu, causing her heart to pound violently.

As Lu Changsheng met her gaze, their eyes unintentionally locked.

In this encounter, the girl in the purple dress felt her heart stir.

She sensed a special kind of affection spreading and rising within her heart,

making her feel an uncontrollable urge to draw closer to Lu Changsheng, who looked unexpectedly pleasing to her eyes.

“What’s happening!?”

No sooner had this emotion begun to spread from her heart than the girl in the purple dress realized that something was off.

She had a very clear understanding of herself.

Although Lu Changsheng was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, she was not the kind of person to judge by appearances.

How could she possibly develop a fondness and desire for closeness just because someone looked handsome?

Moreover, she had secretly observed Lu Changsheng for some time and had never felt this way.

“The Lockheart Gu has malfunctioned!”

“Could it be… backlash from the Gu creature?”

Seeing the radiant peach blossom mark on Lu Changsheng’s forehead, the girl in the purple dress faintly guessed what had happened.

Lu Changsheng possessed some sort of rare treasure,

or perhaps a Gu that was more powerful and more domineering than the Lockheart Gu,

causing her attempt to charm him with the Lockheart Gu to fail,

and leading to a backlash from the creature.

Resulting in the reversal of the Lockheart Gu’s effects, impacting her, the host, instead.

“How can this be possible!”

“The Lockheart Gu is close to a Heavenly Spirit Gu in rank, and even though it is greatly weakened and not yet fully recovered, it should not be possible for it to backlash like this.”

“How could he possibly possess such a treasure, or a nearly extinct creature like the Heavenly Spirit Gu!”

This speculation caused the girl in the purple dress to feel as if tumultuous waves were crashing within her, filled with disbelief.

But as she looked at Lu Changsheng in front of her, she could feel the affection welling up inside her.

This feeling of fondness made her panic more than ever before,

because as the host to the Lockheart Gu, she knew all too well the domineering nature of the Lockheart Gu.

Once someone was bitten by it, they would uncontrollably develop affectionate feelings toward her.

These feelings would intensify over time and contact, growing stronger,

eventually leading to an obsession that could push them to die for her!

Now with the Gu’s effects reversed, impacting the host herself,

she would start developing uncontrollable affectionate feelings for Lu Changsheng, growing into an obsession that would make her willing to die for him.

“Huff, huff, huff!”

Without further thought, Lu Changsheng launched a spell with a stack of Talismans and directed his Green-Face Sword to strike at her.

Even though private duels were forbidden within the Marketplace, and one could not start a fight, how could Lu Changsheng not counterattack when the girl in the purple dress had made a move against him?

“No, I must get away, get far away!”

“Escape the influence of the Lockheart Gu!”

The girl, seeing the spells and Flying Sword coming at her, did not dare hesitate further.

She formed a protective aura around her body and took out several Talismans to activate them, directly withstanding Lu Changsheng’s onslaught.

Then, with a groan, she turned into a shadow and made a rapid retreat.

At that moment, she couldn’t afford to think too much,

nor did she care about the Lockheart Gu that she had obtained with great difficulty, now falling into the hands of Lu Changsheng.

All she could think about was taking advantage of the moment, before the Lockheart Gu’s effects completely overtook her mind and thoughts, to quickly leave this place.

To get far, far away from where Lu Changsheng was.
