Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2070: 545: The Palace Master’s Thoughts, Sixfold Demon Lords! (2)

"How is Elder Xuanmu?"

Typically, absent a massive conflict, Nascent Soul True Lords avoid striking at Core Formation cultivators.

Thus, she instinctively believed her second sister battled solo or had summoned fellow Nascent Soul True Lords to trap the Six Paths Demon Consort.

Hearing now of Elder Xuanmu’s diverse techniques, she quickly grasped that Shen Baishuang had also enlisted Lu Changsheng and his allies.

Yet with her second sister suffering such grave wounds, wouldn’t Elder Xuanmu, merely at Core Formation, face even worse harm?

"Elder Xuanmu isn’t badly hurt," Shen Baishuang responded.

Upon saying this, she caught the worry etched on her younger sister’s features, making her heart skip a beat.

Though her sister remained somewhat innocent and compassionate, the look on her face revealed deep worry for this Elder Xuanmu.

Recalling certain palace rumors from before, the chatter linking Elder Xuanmu and her sister, a notion abruptly sparked in Shen Baishuang’s thoughts.

To pair her sister with Elder Xuanmu.

During the return journey just now, she had mulled over ways to deal with Lu Changsheng.

Yet every approach seemed exceedingly challenging.

After all, for such a prodigy, beyond Infant Transformation Elixirs and Nascent Soul supplies, her Goddess Palace likely couldn’t offer alluring Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Currently, aside from her elder sister Shen Jianjia in the Goddess Palace, even she struggled to hold him in check. Should he advance to Nascent Soul, their Goddess Palace would lose all grip on him.

However, if her sister joined Xuanmu Taoist as Dao companions, binding him fully through marriage, wouldn’t every issue resolve effortlessly?

Be it the Fourth Rank Puppet or that Demon Ape countering Demon Path and Ghost Path alike, both could serve the Goddess Palace.

Xuanmu Taoist ventured to the Starry Sky Sea seeking Nascent Soul chances, right?

Provided he agrees to wed her sister and truly join them, with the Goddess Palace’s deep foundations, securing an Infant Transformation Elixir for him wouldn’t prove too hard.

Furthermore, her sister’s Nourishing Life Technique aids dual cultivation greatly.

In a mere ten additional years, her sister might attempt Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Once her sister achieves Nascent Soul, she could boost his breakthrough odds and Nascent Soul quality!

Under these conditions, Xuanmu Taoist stood a strong chance of reaching Nascent Soul.

At that point, their Goddess Palace might command two, three, or even four Nascent Soul powerhouses!

Contemplating this, even Shen Baishuang felt a surge of thrill.

"Second Sister, what’s wrong?"

Shen Yiren, oblivious to her sister’s scheming, noticed the intense gaze and scrutiny, prompting her curious query.

"It’s nothing."

Shen Baishuang recognized her younger sister’s gentle exterior hiding a firm resolve, and marriage topics suited best from Elder Sister Shen Jianjia.

Should she mention it, her sister’s defiance might flare, so instead she said, "Little sister, since I’m wounded, could you pass on my greetings and worries to Elder Xuanmu for me?"

"It’d also let you converse, ask about the prior fight, the Fourth Rank Puppet, and that spiritual pet."

Shen Baishuang spoke in a soft, coaxing manner.

"Second Sister!"

Though kind-hearted, Shen Yiren wasn’t a total fool.

She detected the hidden intent behind her second sister’s suggestion.

Wishing her to assess Elder Xuanmu’s background and details.

To her, he appeared mysterious with unclear origins, yet he rescued her and aided her second sister. Approaching now to dig for secrets felt like suspecting a noble man with a villain’s mind.

"I’m only proposing a casual chat, not anything more."

Noting her sister’s reaction, Shen Baishuang arched her fine brows and replied irritably.

She acted purely out of care.

Not merely for the Goddess Palace, but for her sister’s future bliss, yet her sister rejected it!

"Ask yourself if needed. I’ll visit Elder Xuanmu."

Shen Yiren’s calm, elegant visage chilled; she rose and declared, refusing further talk with Shen Baishuang.

"Hmph."

Watching her sister’s graceful, slender form glide away, Shen Baishuang huffed, her brows knitting tightly.

With her sister’s temperament, unless they naturally connected on their own, any meddling might backfire and worsen things.

Still, awaiting natural bonding could take ages.

"Unclear if Elder Xuanmu harbors feelings for little sister."

Shen Baishuang pondered inwardly, realizing their harmony also hinged on Lu Changsheng showing initiative.

But as a Core Formation cultivator excelling in medicine, Talisman Path, and Divination, plus tending two spiritual pets, he must devote much time to cultivation.

When facing her or Elder Sister Shen Jianjia, his gaze held only respect and esteem, embodying a righteous gentleman.

With her sister, interactions likely centered on shared cultivation topics rather than affection.

...

Heavenly Star Island.

Home to the Starry Sky Sea’s premier power, the Six Paths Palace.

The main isle, ringed by countless lesser ones, rises steeply at the edges, dipping into a valley at its heart where a majestic city of Purple Gold Demon Rock sprawls.

Amid swirling mists and the Great Formation’s glow, the palace radiated brilliant purple brilliance, evoking eastern purple qi descending.

Now, far in the void, a distortion rippled, as a palace of icy white bones rent space, hurtling toward the core city.

"Welcome, Demon Consort, peace be upon you!"

"Welcome, Demon Consort, peace be upon you!"

Spotting the White Bone Palace, Heavenly Star Island’s Great Formation parted, unleashing roars like thunderous waves crashing.

The White Bone Palace drifted with ghostly luminescence, akin to a soaring pagoda, descending into Heavenly Star Island.
