Chapter 300: Chapter 141: Foundation Establishment’s 369 Ranks!_2 He still clearly remembered the first time he had met the Lu Family Ancestor, his heart was in a flutter. “Changsheng, is there a Second-Order Cave Mansion available for rent in the marketplace?” Xiao Xiyue asked Lu Changsheng. “Second-Order Cave Mansion, there should be.” Lu Changsheng knew that Xiao Xiyue was planning to temporarily reside here. He had a Second-Order Cave Mansion before, but since he didn’t live here much, and when he did, it was with Lu Miaoge, so he rented the mansion to Gao He. However, if Xiao Xiyue needed one, he could still rent a mansion from the Lu Family currently. Immediately, Lu Changsheng took Xiao Xiyue to the Lu Family compound in Red Leaf Valley to find the Great Elder. Nowadays, the Great Elder of the Lu Family presided over the Red Leaf Valley Market. “Great Elder, my good friend here would like to temporarily settle in the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace. I wonder if our family still has a spare Second-Order Cave Mansion for rent.” Upon meeting the Great Elder, Lu Changsheng greeted him with a clasped fist and bow. “You’ve come at the right time; there happens to be one Second-Order Cave Mansion left,” the Great Elder said with a chuckle. Then, he glanced at the aloof Xiao Xiyue standing by his side. He couldn’t help thinking to himself, wondering where Lu Changsheng had acquainted such a girl. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but her demeanor was also unapproachable. Her cultivation level made even him, the Great Elder of the Lu Family, unable to see through her, feeling it enigmatic. He wondered if she could be another Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator? “Then I’ll trouble the Great Elder,” Lu Changsheng said, expressing his intention to rent immediately. Considering Xiao Xiyue probably wouldn’t stay long, Lu Changsheng decided to rent the mansion for one year. Normally, such mansions were rented out for at least three to five years at a time. But after all, Lu Changsheng was considered one of their own. So, they rented it out for just one year. And it was for the lowest rental fee. After renting the cave mansion, Lu Changsheng bid farewell to the Great Elder. With the token in hand, he led Xiao Xiyue to the cave mansion area in the Red Leaf Valley Market. This mansion was just like the one Lu Changsheng had rented to Gao He. Merely one hundred square meters, it was spacious and neat. The mansion was endowed with formations and restrictions, making it very quiet. Now, with a single man and a single woman sharing the same room, Lu Changsheng didn’t pretend to be a paragon of virtue. “Xi Yue, after not seeing each other for so long, let me see if your cultivation has fallen behind.” Looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in white, her face cold and stunningly beautiful, reminiscent of the Guanghan Fairy, Lu Changsheng pulled her into his embrace. “Changsheng~” After several months, the familiar scent that rushed over caught Xiao Xiyue off guard, making her whimper and her fair, snowy cheeks flushing with a soft rosy tint. “Looks like your cultivation has indeed been neglected.” Lu Changsheng teased. Xiao Xiyue’s long lashes trembled slightly, somewhat indignant, and she began to fight back. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 As they went back and forth, Xiao Xiyue gradually regained her state, matching Lu Changsheng’s moves. After a long while, “Changsheng, I have a gift for you,” Xiao Xiyue said, sitting in Lu Changsheng’s arms, slightly out of breath. Her clear, stunning face, like melting ice and snow, flowers beneath heaps of snow was breathtakingly beautiful. “A gift?” Lu Changsheng held Xiao Xiyue in his arms, raising an eyebrow. He immediately guessed that she was referring to what she had said before about helping him with his Foundation Establishment. However, he didn’t hold much expectation for this gift, as he was rather distracted by the beauty before him. After all, a gentleman keeps his tools of the trade to himself and takes action only at the appropriate time. “Changsheng, this is the Golden Crow Elixir; it will aid your cultivation, allowing you to quickly reach Qi Refinement Perfection.” “Moreover, contained within the Golden Crow Elixir is a thread of Great Sun Essence, which not only can compensate for your losses in male-female affairs but will also assist you with your Foundation Establishment!” Xiao Xiyue took out a porcelain bottle from her Storage Bag. She opened the bottle. Instantly, a fiery medicinal fragrance filled the air, revealing to Lu Changsheng a round, golden Elixir Medicine, with what appeared to be strands of flickering flames on it. “Xi Yue, isn’t this elixir a bit precious?” Lu Changsheng had never heard of the Golden Crow Elixir, but from the appearance of the elixir and Xiao Xiyue’s description of its effects, he knew it was extraordinary. After all, anything related to Foundation Establishment was far from cheap. “You’ve saved my life before and helped with my cultivation; what is one elixir in comparison?” When Xiao Xiyue mentioned helping her with cultivation, her face turned slightly red. Back in Ruyi County City when Lu Changsheng talked about helping with her cultivation, it was somewhat justifiable, but now, with the two of them in such a situation, talking about cultivation felt like she was deceiving herself. “If you’re going to be like that, it would seem too formal. Since that’s the case, I’ll accept it.” Lu Changsheng said, not shying away, knowing that a woman like Xiao Xiyue was actually very independent and didn’t want to owe him too much. Before she returned to Qingyun Sect, aside from resolving the assassination incident, she had already thought of how to repay him. “If you’re not occupied with anything, just consume the Golden Crow Elixir now; I’ll protect you while you assimilate it,” Xiao Xiyue continued. “Okay,” Lu Changsheng responded, nodding, his expression turning serious. He set down the warm, fragrant soft jade from his arms and swallowed the Golden Crow Elixir. As soon as the elixir went down, Lu Changsheng instantly felt a massive and pure force spreading throughout his body, warm and very comfortable, but before he could enjoy it, “Boom!” It was as if a great sun had exploded in his lower abdomen, turning into rolling flames, engulfing his whole body, burning his limbs and bones. Hot, hot, hot! Lu Changsheng felt blazing hot, as if he was on fire. On his flesh and muscles, golden flames started to ignite. “Changsheng, circulate your energy,” Xiao Xiyue’s voice rang out. Then, her lips, soft as clouds, landed on Lu Changsheng’s, and at the moment he felt their warm softness, a profound and icy energy, through her red lips, slowly flowed into him. Yin and yang, merged as one.
