Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 397: 169

If Master knew how deep I’ve fallen, that I’m even having a child with Lu Changsheng, I dare not even imagine what she would do.

Even if Master dotes on me, she would probably be furious.

"Hehe, what if your Master finds out?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue with a smile and said.

"Hmph, if you don’t want to, then forget it."

Xiao Xiyue retorted with a snort.

It took her a great deal of courage to say these words.

After so many years of anticipation.

She had waited until the day her Dao Foundation was fully repaired to tell Lu Changsheng.

"Willing, I’m naturally willing."

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, leaned down gently, and captured Xiao Xiyue’s lips.

Now that she had expressed her feelings so clearly, he had no reservations anymore.

Having a child, it would add yet another bond between him and Xiao Xiyue, another concern.

...

In the following time, Lu Changsheng spent most of his days in the Hongye Marketplace, devoting himself to Xiao Xiyue.

Perhaps because both were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, getting pregnant was much more difficult.

After over a month of effort without any reaction.

Having no other choice, Lu Changsheng had to resort to his secret technique, the ’Five Aggregates Proliferation Method.’

This secret method could be practiced by men to increase the likelihood of pregnancy.

Women could also practice it to boost their chances.

Both partners cultivating together would naturally double the effect.

"Changsheng, I think I’m pregnant."

And so, after another month of effort, Xiao Xiyue felt the signs of pregnancy and happily told Lu Changsheng.

"We’re pregnant!"

At her words, delight immediately shone on Lu Changsheng’s face.

Xiao Xiyue had a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root and a Moonlight Spirit Body and was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He too was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root and a Gengjin Spirit Body.

Under such conditions, the chances were high that the child would be extraordinarily talented.

Therefore, regarding the child in Xiao Xiyue’s womb, he couldn’t help but harbor some expectations.

He looked forward to the child bringing them surprises.

"Very good, Xi Yue, take extra care of yourself from now on. Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

Lu Changsheng said warmly.

"I know."

Seeing Lu Changsheng so happy and excited, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but show a slightly annoyed smile on her gorgeous face.

She thought to herself that Lu Changsheng truly loved children.

Normally, when they were together, she seldom saw him so thrilled and excited.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng spent some time chatting with Xiao Xiyue, mentioning some prenatal care tips.

He took her out of the cave dwelling to stroll around the streets and relax.

After all, now that she was pregnant, maintaining both physical and mental health was a must.

...

"As a Second Rank Talisman Master, it’s about time I made it known."

After spending time with Xiao Xiyue, Lu Changsheng considered his progress in Talisman Making.

He felt that the time was about right.

Now that Xiao Xiyue was pregnant, he would need to devote more thought to this matter, and there was no point in delaying any further.

Being a Second Rank Talisman Master would make acting more convenient.

Soon after, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop.

After a chat with Lu Miaoge, and some conversation, he entered the Talisman Room and began crafting talismans.

After a long while, Lu Changsheng stepped out of the Talisman Room with a newly crafted Second Rank Talisman in hand, a look of excitement and joy on his face.

"Sister Miaoge, I did it!"

"I’ve successfully crafted a Second Rank Talisman!"

Lu Changsheng stated, his face lit up with joy and excitement.

He handed the Second Rank Talisman he held to Lu Miaoge for inspection.

"A Second Rank Talisman!?"

"Changsheng, you’ve succeeded."

Lu Miaoge, her delicate and gentle features first stunned, then lit up with excitement too.

She had always kept an eye on Lu Changsheng’s progress in talisman crafting.

Knowing that he was just one step away from becoming a Second Rank Talisman Master, she believed fervently that he could take that step.

But hearing now that Lu Changsheng had advanced to a Second Rank Talisman Master still felt surreal, causing an irrepressible excitement and joy.

After all, the difference between First Grade and Second Rank was like a chasm, vast as that between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment.

Now, having crossed this chasm and ascending from First Grade to Second Rank Talisman Master, how could she, his wife, not be thrilled?

"Changsheng, I always knew you could do it, that you would make it."

Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng with sparkling eyes, full of tenderness and love.

"This time was just a fluke."

"But I believe, with time, I will be able to fully master this Second Rank Thunder Fire Talisman."

Lu Changsheng spoke, his voice carrying a hint of confidence.

He, too, considered himself somewhat accomplished by now.

If he kept being too modest, always speaking of luck, it would seem fake.

"Yes, I believe you can do it, Changsheng."

"I’ll go and inform the Family Head, Fourth Elder, and our ancestors about this news," Lu Miaoge said excitedly.

Advancing to Second Rank Talisman Master was an event that would merit a celebration for the whole Qingzhu Mountain.

"I’ll return to Qingzhu Mountain in a few days."

"So I’ll tell Grandma myself when the time comes."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

He could imagine the Fourth Elder’s feelings upon hearing about his promotion to Second Rank Talisman Master.

The old man had always believed in him and eagerly anticipated the day he would become a Second Rank Talisman Master.

"Alright, it is best for you to tell Grandma in person."

Lu Miaoge nodded, her face still beaming with happiness.

She also knew that the Fourth Elder would be overjoyed to hear the news.

Once she calmed her emotions, she began examining the Second Rank Thunder Fire Talisman in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

The lines on the talisman were not as smoothly executed as they could be, and the spiritual power was a bit unstable, making it seem slightly rough.

But it was indeed a genuine Second Rank Talisman.

Lu Miaoge held it in her hands, examining it over and over, the more she looked, the happier she became.

Seeing his wife so, Lu Changsheng felt a deep satisfaction in his heart.
