Chapter 1326 -457: Lu Someone Was Once Wholeheartedly Devoted to the Sword!_2 Right now, their relationship was ambiguous and undefined. She couldn’t comprehend how Lu Changsheng managed to talk to her so intimately and nonchalantly. If she found out that her master also had some connection with Lu Changsheng, she’d probably be utterly dumbfounded. “Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore.” Lu Changsheng held Chu Qingyi’s hand as they exited the Tianyuan Lotus. “You shameless man, not a single honest word comes out of your mouth!” Just then, a cold and alluring voice resounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind. “Hmm? Who’s speaking?” Lu Changsheng paused momentarily, confused. In the next instant, he suddenly remembered Nangong Mili, the woman trapped in the Formless Treasure Wheel. Sh*t, I knew I was forgetting something. Turns out I forgot about this woman. To be fair, Chu Qingyi’s situation at the time was urgent beyond measure, leaving no room for distractions. Then one thing led to another, and she slipped from his mind. But wait, wasn’t she sealed within the Formless Domain? How is she speaking? Lu Changsheng activated his divine sense and swiftly understood the situation. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 The Sealing Divine Light he’d used on Nangong Mili had somehow become ineffective without his notice. With her mana now accessible, Nangong Mili was using a gu insect to communicate with him telepathically. “So this is the art of gu cultivation, huh?” Although Lu Changsheng had several Heavenly Gu insects himself, he wasn’t familiar with gu cultivation techniques. “But when did she break the seal?” “Or has she been secretly watching for a while and only now decided to speak up?” Lu Changsheng pondered silently. Well, it’s just the mother of his child taking a look. That’s no big deal. Back then, when he and Nangong Mili… didn’t Meng Xiaochan and Ling Zixiao watch the entire time too? “Mili, that’s unfair. I’ve been nothing but honest to you. Have I ever deceived you? You’re all my wings of support. Right now isn’t the best time, but once I’m done with my work, I’ll let you out immediately.” Lu Changsheng directed his voice toward Nangong Mili inside the Formless Domain. With Chu Qingyi next to him, it was clearly inconvenient to release Nangong Mili. After all, righteousness and demonic paths are inherently opposed. Someone like Ling Zixiao might not care much about the righteous versus demonic divide. But Chu Qingyi was a devout disciple of the Immortal Sects — raised from childhood with the values of vanquishing demons and eliminating evil, holding firm to the notion that righteousness and demonic paths cannot coexist. If he were to release a demonic Nascent Soul Immortal now, even if the other person didn’t act aggressively, it would still affect how Chu Qingyi perceived him. “You shameless man!” Inside the Formless Domain, Nangong Mili’s alluring and devilishly beautiful face darkened with frost and hurled another insult. She had already broken part of the seal when Lu Changsheng helped Chu Qingyi form her Golden Core, and used the ‘Mind Gu’ to observe the situation outside. Seeing Lu Changsheng assisting Chu Qingyi in condensing her core, she didn’t take any action. After all, during their brief encounters, she’d come to understand that this man only responded to softness, not hardness. Earlier, he had shown mercy to her because of their past relationship and for the sake of their daughter, Nangong Yaoyao. If she caused trouble at such a critical moment, it would only provoke his wrath, and she wouldn’t gain anything from it. Moreover, witnessing Lu Changsheng’s formidable strength and seeing him condensing a superior Golden Core for Chu Qingyi, she was not only astonished but also began to harbor some complex thoughts. Given her current strength, she couldn’t overpower him or make him nurture her True Elixir anymore. She could only resort to other means… Though the mere thought of such means made Nangong Mili feel deeply disdainful. But considering their situation — and the fact that they already had a daughter together — if these means could allow her True Elixir to ascend to an Immortal Golden Core, she wasn’t entirely against the idea. Additionally, after witnessing Lu Changsheng’s talent and power firsthand, the grudge she held from their earlier turbulent encounters seemed to have softened significantly. “How shameless! I absolutely cannot let this shameless man get near Yaoyao!” “And these righteous sect women are just so gullible, easily believing his flowery words and fake sincerity.” Nangong Mili sneered disdainfully as she watched the way Lu Changsheng was sweet-talking Chu Qingyi. She thought Lu Changsheng was shameless, and this woman utterly brainless. If someone like Chu Qingyi joined her Five Poisons Cult, she’d probably get tricked out of her riches and still count the money for her deceivers. Then again, with this shameless man’s handsome appearance and smooth-talking nature, it wasn’t all that surprising that this righteous sect woman was fooled… … Lu Changsheng didn’t continue chatting with Nangong Mili inside the Formless Treasure Wheel. As long as she didn’t cause trouble for him, there wasn’t too much to worry about. After exiting the Tianyuan Lotus with Chu Qingyi, he briefly disguised them both and transformed into two Foundation Establishment cultivators, heading toward the Great Dream Immortal City. At the city gate, numerous cultivators bustled to and fro. As soon as the crowd saw Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi, they quickly moved aside with expressions of respect and reverence, clearing a path for them. Anywhere you go, Foundation Establishment cultivators are still considered prominent figures. “It seems that apart from having more aquatic demon beasts or water-affinity treasures, this Great Dream Immortal City doesn’t differ much from Azure Phoenix Immortal City.” Lu Changsheng entered the Immortal City and glanced at the shops on either side, silently musing to himself. He planned to check later if there were any aquatic bloodline spiritual beasts worth acquiring so he could raise some Blackwater Dragon Dao Troops back home. Turning to Chu Qingyi, he said, “Qingyi, let’s grab some food first.” Although cultivators generally abstain from food after Foundation Establishment. Lu Changsheng, however, never let himself miss out on the pleasures of food all these years. Now that they’d arrived in Great Dream Immortal City, he wanted to sample the local delicacies. “Alright…” Chu Qingyi, holding Lu Changsheng’s hand, was flushed with shyness and discomfort. Even though they were disguised. Walking down the street like a couple still made her feel uneasy and out of place. Once they reached a restaurant in the inner city, Lu Changsheng ordered some signature dishes. Noticing Chu Qingyi’s unease, he sat beside her, gently stroked her cheek, and asked, “Qingyi, are you feeling unwell?” “If you’re not feeling okay, you have to let me know.” Lu Changsheng’s face was full of concern.
