Chapter 252: Chapter 126: The Young Lady and Second Miss are Pregnant!_1 The next morning, Lu Changsheng awoke. Looking at the two newlywed wives beside him, whose features were about seventy to eighty percent similar and whose sleeping faces were stunningly beautiful, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “This too is the motivation for my diligent cultivation,” he said. “The heights are cold, and the path to immortality stretches endlessly.” “Cultivators are also human, with emotions and desires. If one were to practice cultivation by casting aside all emotions and desires, and enduring nothing but arduous cultivation, even if one were to reach the pinnacle of the immortal path and live a long and plentiful life, what joy would there be?” Lu Changsheng ruminated in his heart. At this moment, he experienced a feeling of enlightenment, a sense of spiritual satisfaction. It was as if his body and soul had both been sublimated. This was his Dao. The way of cultivation is manifold; different people follow different paths. As for him, his path was to traverse amid the chaos of the mundane world. He sought to satisfy his own desires and to cultivate an unobstructed mind and a relaxed spirit. “Changsheng.” At this moment, Lu Miaoge’s eyelashes quivered as she slowly awoke, opening her clear and bright eyes. Looking at Lu Changsheng, her face revealed a trace of happiness and shyness, mixed with a faint joy. “Huanhuan is still asleep, let’s sleep a bit longer,” she said. Lu Changsheng, watching Lu Miaoge wake up, drew her enticingly fragrant and jade-like body into his arms. Bending his head slightly, he gazed at her fair, creamy neck, and spoke softly. Now married, Lu Miaoge no longer put on the airs of an elder sister as usual; she responded with a light “Mhm” and nestled into Lu Changsheng’s embrace. Her beautiful eyes were half-opened, her lips slowly parting with breaths that tugged at the heartstrings. “Huanhuan is about to wake up, later we need to go see Father,” she said. The eldest mistress, noticing that Lu Changsheng’s actions were becoming more intense, grabbed his hand, her hazy beautiful eyes looking towards her husband as she softly spoke. Even after the wedding night and becoming husband and wife, she tried to maintain the image of an elder sister in front of her younger sister. Hearing this, Lu Changsheng also stopped his movements. He knew the eldest mistress was shy. He had great respect for Lu Miaoge, or it could be said that this kind of thing was mutual. Immediately afterwards, Lu Miaoge got up, draped on a dignified and elegant white gossamer gown, and tidied up the clothing scattered beside the bed. Soon, Lu Miaohuan also awoke. Thinking of last night’s scene, this second young mistress was even more shy than her sister Lu Miaoge. This was also because Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng had already had marital relations. By this time, Lu Miaoge had already finished dressing and applying makeup. Seeing that her younger sister had awakened, the gentle and graceful elder sister got the two of them out of bed, suggesting that they should go to serve tea and greet their father Lu Yuanding. Hearing this, the two of them did not delay. They immediately got dressed and went with Lu Miaoge to meet their father-in-law. After greeting their father-in-law and having breakfast, they returned home, and Lu Changsheng called over Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the others to start unpacking wedding gifts. This wedding was so grand, officiated by the Lu Family Ancestor, that everyone from Qingzhu Mountain had brought gifts. However, most were just token gestures. It was only the gifts from a few of the Lu Family elders that were somewhat more substantial. To Lu Changsheng’s surprise, the gift from the Lu Family Ancestor was actually a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique. “Is the Ancestor concerned about my multitude of wives and the depletion of my energy?” he wondered, somewhat astonished. Nonetheless, he could tell that in terms of value, this Dual Cultivation Secret Technique was the most valuable of all the wedding gifts. But he possessed the “Yin Yang Harmony Technique.” Contained within were many dual cultivation techniques, and he had no regard for the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique in the gift. But a true master always keeps the heart of an apprentice. With a learning mindset, Lu Changsheng flipped through the illustrated manual of the Dual Cultivation Technique. Lu Miaohuan boldly took a few glances. Seeing this, Lu Changsheng directly pulled the women together and they all began to study it with keen interest. After all, it was one thing to understand dual cultivation, but none could be as simple and direct as the teachings in these illustrated manuals. He could talk about how to dual cultivate, but his wives might just think he was deceiving them; now, with the Dual Cultivation Technique gifted by the Ancestor, there could be no doubt. As night fell, Lu Changsheng first went to comfort Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, teaching the two women the Dual Cultivation Technique and helping them with their cultivation. After all, one must not forget old love in the face of new. Late into the night, he then went to find Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan for cultivation. Now, naturally, the two women did not share one room and had separate chambers, which made Lu Changsheng feel a bit regretful. But he was not in a hurry. He knew such things needed to be approached gradually. It was better for them to be separate now, allowing both sisters to let go and relax. Otherwise, like last night, they would both hold back, and that would diminish the fun. Lu Changsheng first entered Lu Miaoge’s room, where the eldest mistress was not asleep but meditating. She was still clad in a simple and elegant white gown, but with a bit more decoration than usual. Her black hair was tied up high, adorned with a green jade hairpin, and two earrings dangled from her delicate earlobes, adding a few touches of noble and refined charm to her transcendental beauty. “Changsheng,” Seeing Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge opened her beautiful eyes and softly called out his name. “Sister Miaoge, I finished reading the Dual Cultivation Technique given by the Ancestor today, and there are some parts I don’t quite understand. I was hoping Sister Miaoge could enlighten me,” Lu Changsheng said as he approached. Lu Miaoge blushed at his words, She wasn’t foolish enough to believe what Lu Changsheng said. Not understanding cultivation? Clearly, it was just an excuse. “Changsheng, matters between men and women should have limits; if one overindulges, it can impact cultivation and also harm the body,” Lu Miaoge gently pursed her lips and advised tenderly, like a wise woman and a good wife. Previously, she didn’t feel it was her place to advise Lu Changsheng too much, but now that she was married to him, she felt it was important to properly supervise Lu Changsheng’s cultivation. “Sister Miaoge, you know me; from today on, I will exercise restraint. But I really have come to seek guidance in cultivation,” he replied.
