Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2074: 551: Long Yang, Heavenly Spiritual Root! (part 3)

In recent years, wasn't Yina the only one to get pregnant?

Lu Changsheng felt somewhat puzzled and swiftly examined the details.

"Is this Qing Yi’s child?"

A short while later, Lu Changsheng's face showed stunned surprise, and he whispered to himself.

To his shock, the infant possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root belonged not to Yina, but to Chu Qingyi.

Yet, when exactly had Chu Qingyi conceived his child?

In a flash, Lu Changsheng realized it must have happened during his return to aid Chu Qingyi's recovery, when she surprisingly got pregnant.

Truth be told, he seldom tracked the count of his offspring lately, and right after their encounter, he hurried off to Starry Sky Sea, leaving him oblivious to Chu Qingyi’s condition.

Discovering Chu Qingyi's pregnancy and the birth of their child filled Lu Changsheng with joy mixed with worry and deep remorse.

A child bearing a Heavenly Spiritual Root!

Yet, reflecting on how his child's father had been entirely missing all this time.

Aware he couldn't head back to Jiang Country to see the child anytime soon, guilt overwhelmed Lu Changsheng.

Furthermore, Chu Qingyi, the pristine and exalted Fairy of Qingyun Sect, bearing a child without marriage would surely tarnish her standing.

Carrying this child in public would likely draw heavy scorn.

Especially given Chu Qingyi's persistent guilt toward her junior sister Xiao Xiyue, unsure how to confront their master, Caiyun True Immortal.

With the child now born—or even throughout the pregnancy—she must have endured endless worry and distress, without him by her side to support and reassure her...

"Sigh..."

All these thoughts stirred a wave of remorse in Lu Changsheng, urging him to rush back to Jiang Country and reunite with them at Qingyun Sect right away.

Lu Changsheng pulled out the Divination Coin to divine his personal fortunes and perils.

Still, the symbols stayed vague and unclear as ever.

Heading back to Jiang Country wasn't as dire as past dire warnings, yet fortunes wavered with hints of looming calamity.

Irritated, Lu Changsheng stored the Divination Coin away, lacking the mood to claim scion rewards; instead, he summoned Xuan Huang Essence to press on with refining his Brahman Demon True Body.

Misfortune stemmed solely from lacking enough power.

With true strength at his command, no calamities would forewarn!

...

At the same time, within Qingyun Sect's Immortal Ceremony Hall.

Upon the White Jade Bed, Chu Qingyi donned a sheer white dress draping softly to her ankles, her complexion ashen while gazing at the infant cradled in her arms.

"Don’t cry, little one, be good, don’t cry."

Facing the wailing baby, the typically icy and detached Sword Immortal Child appeared flustered and helpless, managing only awkward attempts to calm it.

After what felt like ages, as the baby at last settled and hushed, she let out a relieved breath, more drained than from any brutal, blood-soaked clash.

"I wonder when your father will arrive."

Gazing at the baby drifting into sleep within her embrace, Chu Qingyi pursed her pallid lips and murmured softly.

Prior to their separation, aware of Lu Changsheng's pressing duties, she had chosen not to tell him of the pregnancy.

But as the pregnancy advanced, her yearning for Lu Changsheng grew ever stronger.

Now with the child brought into the world, her pent-up longing surged like floodwaters, eager to present the baby to him, let him cradle it.

Staring at the exquisitely featured infant in her hold, she contemplated deeply before retrieving the Sensing Talisman linked to Lu Changsheng and channeling mana into it.

Yet the mana vanished like a rock into the ocean, signaling Lu Changsheng was beyond Jiang Country's borders.

Though she held talismans tied to her junior sister Xiao Xiyue, Bi Lake Mountain, and Great Dream Immortal City, she merely sighed faintly, tucking the Sensing Talisman back into her Storage Ring, silently watching the sleeping baby.

...

Starry Sky Sea.

Goddess Palace, Rongyue Island.

Lu Changsheng sat in meditative posture, a faint Brahman Demon Illusion with three heads and six arms manifesting behind him, as he pondered advancing his Brahman Demon True Body cultivation.

"Elder Xuanmu, the Second Palace Master has come to visit."

Just then, steward Song Yudie arrived to announce.

"Very well, inform her I'll be there shortly."

Lu Changsheng completed a full circuit of his Cultivation Technique, exhaled a breath of foul qi slowly, then withdrew the Xuan Huang Essence and proceeded to the guest hall.

There he beheld the Second Palace Master in a lavish crimson gown, her form alluring and curvaceous, poised elegantly on a wooden seat with a languid yet regal air; beneath her skirt, her shapely legs overlapped, exquisite red embroidered shoes peeking subtly.

"Second Palace Master, forgive me for not welcoming you from a distance."

Lu Changsheng observed the Second Palace Master seeming far healthier now, but her spiritual power fluctuations were firmly sealed, making it impossible to probe her true strength.

Yet, from his own analysis, without consuming supreme Spiritual Medicines, the backlash from incinerating her Nascent Soul Origin and activating a Secret Technique would demand years of recovery at the very least.

"Elder Xuanmu, no need for formality."

Shen Baishuang gazed at the dashing and refined Lu Changsheng standing before her, a sweet smile blooming on her face as she charmingly asked after his well-being.

After exchanging a few courtesies, Shen Baishuang cut to the chase, broaching the rewards earned from the prior battle with Lu Changsheng.
