Ten days later. Green River Marketplace. A handsome young man with a tall stature, dressed in a green robe, controlled a purple flying shuttle, and descended outside the marketplace. Many cultivators around him sensed the emanation of Foundation Establishment spirit pressure and hastened to make way, their faces showing respect and awe. Lu Changsheng paid no attention to the behavior of the people around him and stored the flying shuttle away. From his storage bag, he took out a yin-yang sensing talisman and sent a message to Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue. Currently, both women were in the marketplace. It would have been awkward had he only looked for one, in case they were chatting together. So he decided to send a message to both and meet them together! Not much later. A woman wearing a snow-white dress, her beautiful face clear and lovely, her figure graceful, and her temperament gentle like water, walked out of Green River Marketplace. "Changsheng!" She searched with her beautiful eyes, and upon seeing Lu Changsheng, her face revealed an excited and joyful expression. She ran forward and embraced Lu Changsheng tightly, inhaling the familiar scent. "Sister Miaoge, I’m sorry for making you worry..." Lu Changsheng felt the warmth of his wife’s embrace softening his heart. He knew his delayed return from this trip had caused Lu Miaoge much concern. That’s why she was so emotionally excited upon seeing him. Under normal circumstances, Lu Miaoge wouldn’t have reacted so extremely. After embracing for a moment, Lu Miaoge let go of Lu Changsheng, feeling a bit embarrassed for acting like this in public. However, she had been worried about Lu Changsheng’s safety all this time. "Changsheng, your... your magic aura?" Upon letting go of Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge’s emotions stabilized slightly, and immediately, she sensed an almost imperceptible spirit pressure coming from him. She had felt this kind of spirit pressure from Lu Yuanzhong and Xiao Xiyue. It was the pressure of Foundation Establishment! Now, feeling this magic aura from Lu Changsheng, her beautiful eyes showed surprise, amazement, and delight. "That’s right, Sister Miaoge, I have made a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment." Lu Changsheng, looking into his wife’s astonished and delighted eyes, smiled gently. The thing he most wanted to let Lu Miaoge know upon returning home was that he had achieved Foundation Establishment. It wasn’t to show off. For years, Lu Miaoge had always been encouraging him, supporting him, urging him to cultivate diligently, to strive and someday achieve Foundation Establishment. Although he often took her encouragement and motivation lightly, he remembered all of it in his heart. So, he wanted to tell Lu Miaoge that he didn’t let down her expectations, her love. The promise he once made, that both of them could achieve Foundation Establishment one day, was not just joking, just to make her happy. "Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment!" "Changsheng, you have achieved Foundation Establishment!" Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge was moved to tears. Her joyful eyes turned slightly red, and her voice choked up. "Sister Miaoge." Lu Changsheng looked surprised. He had not expected his achievement in Foundation Establishment to impact Lu Miaoge so profoundly, making her reveal such emotions, and his heart ached slightly. He had kept too much from her. "I just knew it, Changsheng, that you would definitely be able to achieve Foundation Establishment." "This trip must have been very dangerous." Lu Miaoge raised her beautiful head slightly, her eyes brimming with tenderness, and her delicate hand caressed Lu Changsheng’s cheek with a voice soft as water. Before Lu Changsheng left, he had said he would bring her a surprise upon his return. Now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough in Foundation Establishment, she thought this was the surprise he had mentioned. Stay updated via empire But to her, Foundation Establishment was fraught with peril. Even if Lu Changsheng had a great opportunity, it was still very dangerous for him to go out alone to try Foundation Establishment. "It wasn’t dangerous, not dangerous at all." "I worried you, Sister Miaoge." Lu Changsheng gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sighing slightly in his heart. He felt he really owed Lu Miaoge an apology for always keeping her in the dark and worrying about him. "I’m happy... I just knew that you could do it, you could definitely do it..." Lu Miaoge, afraid she was dreaming, embraced Lu Changsheng again, feeling her husband’s warmth and familiar breath. Now, not only had her husband returned safely, but he had also achieved the Foundation Establishment Stage she had longed for and had striven for in her dreams, making it all seem unreal. "Sigh." Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly. The more Lu Miaoge acted like this, the more guilty he felt. In her mind, his trip for Foundation Establishment may have seemed filled with immense danger. After all, not long ago, Lu Miao Feng had failed at Foundation Establishment, and Lu Miaoge herself was facing the daunting obstacle of Foundation Establishment, aware of its difficulties. Yet in reality, he had achieved Foundation Establishment long ago, and this trip was merely for shopping. After a while, Lu Miaoge finally released Lu Changsheng again. "Changsheng, I overreacted a little." "Even though I believed you would achieve Foundation Establishment, I was still somewhat in disbelief." Lu Miaoge spoke, her face joyful and tender like snow and water, her smile radiant. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 Her beautiful eyes sparkled with soft ripples, filled with tender affection. The look of someone in love, incomparable! "Didn’t you say that I could definitely do it?" Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand, feeling tenderness in his heart. "Sister Miaoge, I told you before, not only would I be able to achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, but both of us will achieve it!" "Let’s go inside first, I have a surprise for you later." Lu Changsheng held Lu Miaoge’s hand and spoke with a smile. "A surprise?" Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge’s joyful eyes sparkled with curiosity as she entered the marketplace with Lu Changsheng. "That’s right, you’ll know in a bit." Lu Changsheng nodded his head. He anticipated the moment he would give the cultivation technique, Foundation Establishment Elixir, and Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects to Lu Miaoge, looking forward to her happy reaction.
