Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2189: 590: The Sea Eye of Grand Dream Lake (part 3)

"The Sea Eye of the Great Dream Marsh!?"

Yun Wanshang was unaware that her return to the Jiang Country had already occurred.

Her initial assumption was that returning to Jiang Country would be a significantly complex affair.

However, considering the recent travel aboard the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, a mount of quasi-Fourth Rank speeds, and now having the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, a Fourth-Order Dragon Whale, at her disposal for transportation, her mind found considerable ease.

Lu Changsheng nodded his assent and presented his Great Luo Sword Embryo, which had been purified of his mana, to Yun Wanshang.

With the immediate crisis having been temporarily averted, this sword embryo could now be entrusted to Yun Wanshang for the nurturing of their son, Lu Yunxiao.

After all, she had been carrying the child for an extended period; any further delay would invariably lead to the child’s imminent birth.

Upon witnessing Lu Changsheng casually bestow such a profound Sword Dao Treasure, Yun Wanshang was rendered momentarily speechless.

"Everything is for the child."

"..."

Yun Wanshang paused briefly, then softly parted her crimson lips, affirming with a nod as she accepted the sword embryo.

Within the secure confines of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s stomach chamber, it was naturally impossible for her to commence the refinement of the sword embryo at that precise moment.

As a Nascent Soul True Lord, the task of refining the sword embryo would ordinarily be a swift endeavor for her.

By the time the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale conveyed to Lu Changsheng their impending arrival at Mysterious Whale Island, Yun Wanshang had nearly completed the refinement process for the sword embryo.

"True Man, we have reached our destination."

Lu Changsheng informed Yun Wanshang as they both emerged from the cavernous interior of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, their hands now equipped with the Michen Banner.

By leveraging the combined effects of the Michen Banner’s main and auxiliary formations, they possessed the capability to be transported directly from Mysterious Whale Island to the City Lord Mansion.

"Hmm!?"

As her gaze took in the expansive seascape before her, and while still uncertain of their immediate surroundings, Yun Wanshang instinctively leaned into Lu Changsheng upon hearing his words.

In the subsequent instant, a brilliant five-colored radiance surged forth, enveloping the pair. A subtle distortion rippled through space, the world seemed to tilt and spin, and abruptly, they found themselves standing within the City Lord Mansion of Great Dream Immortal City.

"Where is this place?"

Yun Wanshang immediately perceived that this location bore the distinct characteristics of a Third Rank Spirit Vein’s domain.

"Great Dream Immortal City."

Lu Changsheng replied softly. A flicker of nostalgic longing crossed his features as he extended his Divine Sense, extending it to thoroughly survey the current conditions within the City Lord Mansion.

"Hmm!?"

From within her secluded cave manor, Hong Lian instantly registered the intrusion of this Divine Sense wave, recognizing the distinct aura of Lu Changsheng’s return.

"Hong Lian, I have returned."

Lu Changsheng projected his voice, simultaneously noting that her cultivation had progressed to the Ninth Layer of Core Formation.

"Great Dream Immortal City!?"

Beside him, Yun Wanshang exhibited a pronounced sense of bewilderment, questioning the circumstances that had led Lu Changsheng to Great Dream Immortal City.

Observing the expression of astonishment and inquisitive curiosity on Yun Wanshang’s face, Lu Changsheng recalled that she had been away, traveling in the outside world for many years, and was thus unfamiliar with the recent change in proprietorship of Great Dream Immortal City.

He promptly offered an explanation: "In the earlier years, True Man Wuhen and True Master Cloud Dream were compelled to depart due to certain unavoidable circumstances. They subsequently entered into an agreement with me, and thus, Great Dream Immortal City is now under my ownership."

"!!!"

Yun Wanshang’s luminous eyes widened as she gazed at Lu Changsheng, her expression a mixture of profound surprise and awestruck admiration. She had never anticipated that he had, without her knowledge, attained the status of master over Great Dream Immortal City, one of the Jiang Country’s esteemed Three Great Immortal Cities.

Although Lu Changsheng’s formidable combat prowess undoubtedly qualified him to assume the role of the Great Dream City Lord.

However, having just recently returned to the familiar embrace of Jiang Country, she felt a sense of being somewhat unprepared for the existing circumstances.

Before she could fully process her initial surprise, a woman of breathtaking beauty, adorned in an exquisite gown intricately embroidered with patterns of the Vermilion Bird, its voluminous skirt trailing elegantly behind her, emerged with a demeanor of graceful dignity.

Even Yun Wanshang, accustomed to a world of formidable cultivators, could not help but express silent admiration for the woman’s unparalleled beauty.

She marveled at the very existence of such an extraordinary individual in the world.

Her facial features were exceptionally refined, utterly devoid of any perceived imperfection.

Tall and elegantly proportioned, she possessed a physique that was flawlessly balanced, exquisitely neither too much nor too little.

Nevertheless, what truly captivated the senses was her inherent bearing and transcendent aura.

Noble and majestic, dignified yet utterly graceful, she exuded a celestial elegance that defied simple description, a beauty that seemed utterly transcendental.

Even Yun Wanshang, a seasoned Nascent Soul True Lord, found her own appearance and imposing aura subtly eclipsed by the presence of Hong Lian.

"Husband."

The stunning woman turned her gaze towards Lu Changsheng, her beautiful eyes shimmering with discernible joy as she uttered the word. Her voice, tender and captivating, seemed to carry a complex tapestry of emotions – three parts longing, three parts heartfelt sorrow, and four parts sheer excitement and happiness.

Could this woman also be one of Lu Changsheng’s wives?

Despite the immense power, innate talent, and solid foundation Lu Changsheng had exhibited lately.

The initial perception made her instinctively doubt if this young rogue was truly worthy of such a remarkable woman.

However, in the very next moment, a faint yet undeniable sense of crisis began to stir within her heart.

"My husband, you have finally returned. Did you face any perils or difficulties during your travels? I heard from the Spiritual Whale that you encountered danger and became separated..."

Hong Lian swiftly approached, her delicate eyes brimming with profound affection as she gazed upon Lu Changsheng. Her fair, jade-like hand gently stroked his handsome features, her voice a soft, soothing melody, much like the gentle murmurs of a wife who had long awaited her husband's homecoming.

Even though Lu Changsheng had been away for many years, out of contact, and had returned with another woman, making him appear quite the scoundrel.

Having shared years together, Hong Lian understood that Lu Changsheng responded more favourably to gentle persuasion than to forceful confrontation!

Therefore, upon her initial encounter with Yun Wanshang, she displayed not a shred of jealousy or unease. Her gaze and her heart were entirely focused on Lu Changsheng.

Her being was filled solely with the exhilaration of their reunion, a lingering echo of longing for her husband, and a tender concern that he might be weary from his extensive journeys, all blended with a heart brimming with excitement.

Although a decade, like a fleeting moment, was not a significant passage of time for cultivators such as herself and Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng found himself receptive to her gentle demeanor.

"Hong Lian, I am unharmed. I apologize for causing you all to worry."

Lu Changsheng clasped Hong Lian's delicate hand, a surge of heartache and guilt washing over his heart.

He was aware that during his prolonged absence, the weighty responsibility of Great Dream Immortal City had fallen squarely upon Hong Lian's shoulders.

Based on his divinations, the circumstances within Great Dream Immortal City had not been favorable over these years, being rife with numerous potential threats.

The matter concerning Lu Lingjing earlier, for instance, was also a result of Hong Lian's meticulous planning.

Without Hong Lian's extensive arrangements and careful guidance, Lu Lingjing could have potentially faced greater peril or inadvertently brought trouble upon Great Dream Immortal City.

"My husband, it is truly wonderful that you have returned."

Hong Lian whispered, her captivating eyes shining with profound warmth. She then turned her attention towards Yun Wanshang, who stood beside them, and inquired, "My husband, who is this esteemed Fairy?"

Despite not knowing Yun Wanshang personally, Hong Lian immediately recognized her as a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Even from the subtle fluctuations of mana emanating from her, Hong Lian discerned that Yun Wanshang had only recently attained the Nascent Soul realm, likely within the past two or three years.
