Shen Baishuang confronted her younger sister Shen Yiren about her meetings with Xuanmu Taoist, scrutinizing his background and teasing if Yiren had fallen for him. Yiren denied any romantic feelings, defending Xuanmu as a capable Honorary Elder of the Goddess Palace. Baishuang revealed her plan to invite him to Black Reef Island for the perilous Kunpeng Egg acquisition, intending to leverage his skills while observing him closely.

"Second Palace Master?"

Song Yudie’s report reached Lu Changsheng’s ears, announcing the Second Palace Master’s visit, causing his brows to crease faintly.

The Third Palace Master had departed only recently, so why was the Second Palace Master arriving now?

From what he recalled, Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang was out hunting for the Kunpeng egg, yet here she was returning to the Goddess Palace.

Was this connected to the recent assault on Penglai Immortal City?

Puzzlement filled Lu Changsheng, yet he proceeded from his cave mansion to welcome the visitor.

Soon after, his gaze fell on a stunning woman clad in an opulent red gown, her form exquisitely curvaceous and alluring.

Few women in this realm could truly captivate Lu Ancestor’s emotions.

But after merely a few years in the Starry Sky Sea, another such beauty appeared before him.

Judging by her looks, Lu Changsheng instantly recognized the red-clad beauty as Shen Baishuang, the second among the Goddess Palace’s three peerless Goddesses!

As one of the Goddess Palace’s three Goddesses, her stunning allure went without saying.

Her facial features were flawlessly refined, her cheeks mirroring those of Great Palace Master Shen Jianjia—flushed and delicately rouged, evoking enchanting February peach blossoms brimming with ripe seduction and irresistible appeal.

Her perfectly fitted gown accentuated her silhouette, rendering her utterly mesmerizing and elegant, rivaling only Nangong Mili.

If Great Palace Master Shen Jianjia resembled a lofty divine goddess, awe-inspiring and untouchable, inspiring urges to claim her.

Then this Second Palace Master embodied a bewitching enchantress, igniting deep yearnings in the soul.

"Xuanmu greets the Second Palace Master! May I ask what brings you here with such honor?"

Lu Ancestor avoided prolonged daze; after a fleeting moment of awe, he cupped his hands in polite salute.

Despite the Second Palace Master’s overwhelming mature charm seeping from every inch, piercing straight to bones and spirit, Lu Changsheng felt scant attraction.

For she was, after all, a wedded woman.

Lu Changsheng would never stoop to the deeds of a homewrecker!

Besides, his aim remained fixed on the Third Palace Master.

Shen Baishuang likewise sized up the Lu Changsheng before her.

She noted his brief stupor, eyes gleaming with brief praise and wonder before swiftly regaining poise, inwardly approving with a nod.

As the supreme Goddess renowned across the Starry Sky Sea, her confidence in her charms was absolute!

She trusted that any ordinary man beholding her would succumb to distraction.

To stay unmoved suggested either a veteran of romances, habituated to feminine splendor, steely Dao Heart, or... no ordinary man at all.

Per her younger sister Shen Yiren, this Xuanmu Taoist was a Foundation Building Clan Cultivator who attained his level via luck and diligence.

In such circumstances, excelling in medicine, Talisman Path, and Divination Art implied most of his days went to cultivation, sparing scant time for romance, marking him as one with resolute Dao Heart.

"Elder Xuanmu, the Palace Master seeks your aid on an important matter."

Shen Baishuang’s lips curved slightly upward as she spoke softly with a chuckle, her tone resembling tinkling jade beads—clear yet lacking the hypnotic seduction her looks and build suggested.

This was expected; as a Nascent Soul True Lord, the Second Palace Master shunned Bewitching Technique or Charming Technique, lest seductive speech tarnish her prestige.

"Oh? Do you require my help with something?"

Curiosity stirred in Lu Changsheng’s heart as he ushered her into the manor’s reception hall and asked her intent.

"Is Elder Xuanmu aware of the Kunpeng egg affair?"

Shen Baishuang gracefully took a seat, her perfect peach-like posterior settling, as her slender, ivory fingers accepted the Spiritual Tea from Lu Changsheng and began.

"The Kunpeng egg news has spread far and wide in the Starry Sky Sea; of course I know of it."

Lu Changsheng affirmed with a nod.

"Over recent years, major factions have scoured the seas for possible Kunpeng egg sites, narrowing down to a few key areas, prompting my return for backup."

"I’ve learned Elder Xuanmu masters Divination Art and commands a Fourth Rank Puppet, so I wish to have you join me on this expedition."

Shen Baishuang took a delicate sip of Spiritual Tea, explaining unhurriedly, omitting her wound from the Six Paths Demon Consort.

"Reinforcements for the Kunpeng egg!?"

A thrill shot through Lu Changsheng, like stumbling upon paradise amid despair.

His divinations had linked his son Lu Quanzhen’s location to the Kunpeng egg; he’d monitored news avidly but found no leads.

The Starry Sky Sea’s immensity defied even the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] for searches, forcing passive waits on Kunpeng egg updates.

To his surprise, the Second Palace Master arrived bearing word of pinpointed zones!

With rough locales, he could leverage his bloodline tie to son Lu Quanzhen, the Kunpeng Nest’s Qi, and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror for precise hunts.

"Persist through trials, minor hurdles ahead, ultimate fortune awaits!"

Lu Changsheng recalled his prior divination: steadfast endurance promised triumph.

"Rest assured, Elder Xuanmu—if you accept this mission, the palace offers generous contributions. Any discoveries or merits en route will earn lavish palace rewards, including Nascent Soul Main Medicine or premium Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects."

Noticing Lu Changsheng’s silence, Shen Baishuang pressed on, her lovely legs crossing elegantly beneath the crimson skirt, poised and tempting.

"Second Palace Master, it’s not unwillingness on my part, but my Divination Art is merely Third Rank at best, perhaps of limited use..."

Lu Changsheng replied hesitantly.

Though eager to join for clues on son Lu Quanzhen.

Yet such a perilous venture demanded caution in enthusiasm.

As Honorary Elder under a lenient contract, excessive zeal for danger might arouse suspicions.
