Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng confesses to Xiao Xiyue that he and her Master, Yun Wanshang, developed feelings in the Sealing Demon Land, dual cultivated, and he helped her break through to Nascent Soul. He then reveals that Yun Wanshang is now pregnant with his child, which stuns and angers Xiao Xiyue.
A mocking sneer escaped Xiao Xiyue's lips.Her dissatisfaction growing, she pinched him again, her teeth sinking into his shoulder.While accustomed to Lu Changsheng’s philandering ways, she never anticipated him becoming entangled with her own master.Fearing his Fourth Rank Physique might harm Xiao Xiyue, Lu Changsheng allowed her to bite him.Moments later, Xiao Xiyue released Lu Changsheng, her gaze falling upon the deep bite marks and his sheepish expression. With a cold snort, she declared, "What a nuisance!"The guilty Lu Ancestor remained silent, not daring to retort."Master... Master, what are your plans for this? Forget about taking responsibility; what does Master actually intend?"With the situation settled, Xiao Xiyue had little else to say but felt the need to keep a much closer watch on him moving forward, to prevent any recurrence of such incidents."Uh... the True Monarch has successfully navigated the Demonic Tribulation, which means she can openly acknowledge this relationship. However, if she were to discover our involvement, I fear..."Lu Changsheng spoke with unvarnished honesty."Master is unaware of your entanglement with my sister, isn't she?" Xiao Xiyue inquired."She is unaware, yet she might have sensed that something was amiss."Returning to the Land of Eternal Night, through their day-to-day interactions, Lu Changsheng had discerned that Yun Wanshang seemed privy to his illicit affair with Chu Qingyi."And what about Shouzheng?" Xiao Xiyue pressed on."He is likely oblivious."Lu Changsheng responded with evident awkwardness."So, what will happen if Master learns about the affair between my sister and Shouzheng?"Xiao Xiyue posed the question.After speaking, an ironic sneer touched her lips as she added, "Naturally, such matters pose no challenge for our esteemed Changsheng True Master. Within a few days, I might find myself sharing a husband alongside my master and sister."While Lu Changsheng secretly relished the prospect of Xiao Xiyue and Yun Wanshang serving him concurrently, he could not outwardly express such desires. Instead, a look of helplessness spread across his face as he stated, "Xiyue, I never could have imagined things would unfold this way...""Stop pretending!" Xiao Xiyue shot a glare at the diminutive Lu Changsheng, a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance coloring her expression.Her comment was merely casual, yet he was genuinely contemplating the idea of his master and disciple sharing a single husband.Lu Changsheng felt a sense of helplessness.As a man, were such thoughts not entirely natural?Lu Changsheng never shied away from admitting his somewhat unrefined inclinations in this regard.However, this was hardly the opportune moment for an explanation, especially concerning such delicate matters with a woman.He tenderly embraced Xiao Xiyue’s ethereal form, resting his chin upon her shoulder as he whispered into her ear, "I am sharing these details with you, Xiyue, partly because the situation is now irreversible, and I wished to be transparent. Furthermore, I understand the True Monarch's disposition.""Now that the True Monarch has returned to the Qingyun Sect and encounters you, and is aware of Qing Yi and Shouzheng’s affairs, her mind will undoubtedly be in turmoil...""However, with matters having reached this juncture, I cannot simply disregard them. Rest assured, I will respect your decisions and choices."Lu Changsheng’s voice was soft and his tone earnest.At present, the notion of espousing all three – master and her two disciples – seemed entirely beyond the realm of possibility.Yun Wanshang might concur with Chu Qingyi and himself, but she was highly unlikely to accept all three as her consorts.Moreover, as Xiao Xiyue had pointed out, the revelation of such affairs could cast a shadow not only upon the three women and himself but also upon the reputation of the entire Qingyun Sect.At the very least, he resolved to wait until he achieved the Nascent Soul stage and gained significant renown before contemplating such a union.In doing so, no one would dare to cast aspersions; perhaps it would even become a legendary tale!"You should meet with Master yourself later; I will not accompany you."Xiao Xiyue pinched Lu Changsheng once more.She was utterly unsure how she would face her master now."..."Lu Changsheng found himself at a loss for words but nodded nonetheless, stating, "I shall escort Shouzheng to meet the True Man later."Though Yun Wanshang had attained the Nascent Soul stage and ascended to the rank of True Monarch, he remained more accustomed to addressing her as True Man or Caiyun."Forget it, I will accompany you later."Fearing her master might impulsively attack Lu Changsheng upon learning of the indiscretions involving her sister, Xiao Xiyue reluctantly conceded, "Initially, I had intended to bring Wangshu to meet Master.""It is entirely my fault as your husband." Although this entanglement was not his doing, and he too was an unwitting participant, a sincere apology felt appropriate at this moment.Xiao Xiyue fell silent.After a brief pause, she rose from Lu Changsheng's embrace, her beautiful eyes fixed upon him as she inquired, "You truly did not do this intentionally?""What would I have done intentionally?"Lu Changsheng failed to grasp Xiao Xiyue's underlying meaning.
"Cultivators at the Core Formation stage find it inherently challenging to conceive, and with you, your sister, and our master all being Core Formation cultivators, furthermore, both you and Master are at the Great Master level, how could pregnancy occur so readily?"
Xiao Xiyue gazed directly at Lu Changsheng, her suspicion alight that he might somehow be responsible for her sister and master's pregnancies.
After all, once a cultivator's level surpasses Foundation Establishment, the difficulty of getting pregnant escalates, let alone for those in the Core Formation stage.
Moreover, according to Lu Changsheng's own account, his assistance to her sister was for healing, and his help to their master was for a breakthrough.
Such matters that involve Dual Cultivation, venturing beyond simple intercourse, render the possibility of pregnancy even more remote.
"How could I possess such an ability?"
Lu Changsheng responded with a helpless expression.
Then, after a moment's pause, he added, "Perhaps... it is simply fate?"
Although his Chaos Body facilitated easier conception, and he had benefited from system enhancements...
Still, the sudden pregnancies of Yun Wanshang and Chu Qingyi were truly astonishing and unexpected.
Therefore, in matters such as these, it is more likely related to Mysterious Destiny.
"Hmph."
Even though Lu Changsheng had offered his explanation, Xiao Xiyue still harbored a degree of doubt, believing he might indeed possess such capabilities.
After all, over these many years, Lu Changsheng's image in her heart had become almost that of an almighty being.
However, after regaining her composure, she turned her thoughts to another perplexing issue.
While cultivators do face difficulties in conception, the decision of whether to carry the child to term generally remains within the woman's control.
As a cultivator, if one were unwilling to be pregnant, not only could the pregnancy be forcibly terminated, but the Primordial Essence could also be refined.
The fact that her sister, Chu Qingyi, was pregnant and willing to carry the child to term was something she could barely comprehend.
She recognized her sister's deep affection for Lu Changsheng.
But as for their master...
Could it be that their master had also developed feelings for her own husband?
