Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2067: 549:

Inky black and endlessly vast was the Great Void.

A petite vessel radiating a splendid starlight constellation ferried Lu Changsheng and his two companions through the void, en route to the Goddess Palace.

This starship couldn't match the Michen Banner's ability for instant transfer and teleportation.

Yet, sensing the turbulent flow of time and space nearby, Lu Changsheng perceived the remarkable nature of this Spiritual Treasure, which could span hundreds of miles with just a single thought.

"Elder Xuanmu, you rendered great service by severely wounding Si Guihua in this fight; upon our return, request any reward you desire."

"You can also calculate your battle consumptions and expenses and report them to me."

Shen Baishuang consumed a medicinal elixir to briefly quell the backlash from her secret art, her visage pale and tone feeble, akin to a delicate, lamentable beauty in her prime.

Earlier, Lu Changsheng displayed formidable might, reversing the battle flow and assisting her in subduing and harming Si Guihua.

With elder sister Shen Jianjia now present, she might worry about causing unease, so naturally, she offered words of reassurance to foster security.

Even such gestures could elevate loyalty and favor toward the Goddess Palace, thwarting poaching by rival factions.

"Thank you, Second Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng responded warmly, accepting without hesitation.

During the recent clash, he had depleted numerous Third Rank Talismans and even deployed two Fourth Rank Talismans.

Furthermore, Qian Zhuyan had burned multiple Supreme Spirit Stones, suffering notable depletion.

All of these counted as invaluable Spirit Stones.

Her offer to compensate him was certainly appreciated.

"Elder Xuanmu, no need for such politeness."

Right then, Shen Baishuang showed no trace of her famed "Jade-faced Demon" or "Rouge Tiger" ferocity, her voice gentle and alluring.

Lu Changsheng's tactics and power in the battle had won her approval, regarding him as a peer in cultivation.

Observing her sister's manner, Shen Jianjia felt puzzled inwardly.

While others might be unaware, she as the elder sibling understood her sister's nature intimately—she never favored men so casually.

Yet now, displaying this demeanor toward Xuanmu Taoist... it was truly uncommon.

At that instant, even she, the Goddess Palace's leader, grew increasingly intrigued by Lu Changsheng.

Wounded, Shen Baishuang avoided further talk with Lu Changsheng, settling into cross-legged meditation to recover.

Still, she relayed the details of the confrontation with the Six Paths Demon Consort to sister Shen Jianjia via voice transmission.

Particularly emphasizing Qian Zhuyan, the Puppet Battle Array, and the Soul Beast.

"Devouring Si Guihua’s Fourth Rank Ghost Pet!?"

Shen Jianjia had arrived beforehand and witnessed Lu Changsheng’s Puppet Battle Array and Soul Beast, so she wasn't overly astonished.

However, learning that the Soul Beast had consumed the Six Paths Demon Consort’s Fourth Rank Ghost Pet made her exquisite features freeze briefly, her mind surging with shock, deeming it inconceivable and outrageous.

After all, the gap between Third Rank and Fourth Rank was immense.

Though the Soul Beast’s qi mechanism neared Fourth Rank infinitely, it hadn't truly broken through, leaving an uncrossable divide.

Despite that, in this dire situation, its spirit pet astonishingly turned the tables to engulf the Fourth Rank one...

In that moment, Shen Jianjia grasped why her sister held Elder Xuanmu in such high esteem.

If this spirit pet reaches Fourth Rank...

...

About an hour passed before the starship burst from the Great Void, manifesting over Penglai Island, then gliding toward the Goddess Palace.

"Elder Xuanmu, I'll escort Little Frost back for treatment first. For any matters, contact me or Granny Ma directly."

Informed of Lu Changsheng by her sister, Shen Jianjia—the Goddess Palace's matriarch—now valued him even more.

Lifting her slender hand, she produced a Jade Talisman from her sleeve, signifying direct access to her in emergencies.

"Farewell, Great Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng took the Jade Talisman, clearly noting the shift in Shen Baishuang’s regard for him.

Regarding Shen Jianjia...

The Great Palace Master’s bearing turned warmer too, yet more effortless.

Watching the twin flower-like sisters—elegant, regal, peerlessly stunning—fade from view, Lu Changsheng exhaled stale qi and headed back to Rongyue Island.

"Elder Xuanmu."

Detecting Lu Changsheng’s arrival, Song Yudie, Rongyue Island’s caretaker, hurried out to welcome him.

Noting the elder’s weary face and disordered mana qi mechanism, Song Yudie promptly asked if he needed anything.

"No issues, you can go. If visitors come, inform them I'm in secluded cultivation healing."

Perceiving the worry hidden in her gaze, Lu Changsheng smiled as he replied.

Once inside the Cave Mansion, Lu Changsheng freed Qian Zhuyan from the Spiritual Pet Bag, worry in his voice: "Little Yan, are you alright? Did the battle cause you any damage?"

In the fight against the Six Paths Demon Consort, Qian Zhuyan played a pivotal role.

As her master, he had to ensure her condition.

"Master, my form integrates [Biyou Crystal Pearl] with self-repair capability; no serious harm, merely expended six Supreme Spirit Stones."

Soul flames flickered in Qian Zhuyan’s eyes as she spoke.

Her tone ghostly and raspy, lacking emotional inflection, yet Lu Changsheng caught the subtle regret beneath.

Supreme Spirit Stones were scarce treasures, diminishing with every use.

"The puppets in the battle array sustained damage and need time for fixes and upkeep."

Qian Zhuyan added.

[Biyou Crystal Pearl] proved exceedingly scarce.

Her puppet frame incorporated Biyou Crystal Pearl supplied by Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng had acquired only a tiny quantity years ago from slaying the [Deep Sea Demon Whale King], just sufficient for Qian Zhuyan, leaving none for the other nine puppets' self-repair.

With damages incurred, she as the puppet controller must perform the restorations.
