Chapter 738: Chapter 275: Your ‘Grandpa’ Is Truly Beautiful, Now He’s Mine!_3 Xu Ruyin suddenly opened her eyes and saw Lu Changsheng, who appeared noble and gentle before her. A chill spread through her heart, and she instantly knew that the scene she had just witnessed was an illusion. “Hmm, you woke up so soon?” Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow as he looked at Xu Ruyin before him. He had just used a third-rank Illusion Heart Talisman on Xu Ruyin. He had thought that she would be lost in the illusion, experiencing the pain of life and death, various scenes. Waiting for her soul, vulnerabilities, and flaws to be exposed and shattered in the illusion, her spirit weak, he planned to slowly ‘train’ her at that point. But he had not expected Xu Ruyin to struggle free from the Illusion Heart Talisman so quickly. He realized that it must be the mighty soul within her causing trouble. Otherwise, with Xu Ruyin’s peak Qi Refinement cultivation level and her spirit lost, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to break free from a third-rank Illusion Heart Talisman! “Miss Xu, have the senior within you come out,” Lu Changsheng said, retracting his smile and speaking earnestly. Knowing the presence of a mighty soul within her, he understood that his little tricks would be of no use against Xu Ruyin. It would be better to have this mighty soul show themselves directly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Xu Ruyin said, biting her lip. Seeing that the senior Hong Lian had remained silent, she realized that even Hong Lian had no solution for this situation. Thus, she did not want to expose the senior Hong Lian prematurely. “Does the senior really intend to just watch in silence, hiding and not showing themselves?” “That really doesn’t suit the demeanor of a respected elder,” Lu Changsheng said indifferently, looking at Xu Ruyin. “Young lady.” A faint sigh resonated in Xu Ruyin’s mind. She knew that at this moment, she had to meet with Lu Changsheng. “Senior Hong Lian.” Xu Ruyin bit her lip tightly. Then she said to Lu Changsheng in a feeble voice, “I am completely restrained, and Senior Hong Lian cannot show themselves.” “I see,” Lu Changsheng said, not expecting the restraint seal of Mount Sumeru to prevent the ‘grandfather’ inside her from appearing. He immediately had Mount Sumeru slightly release Xu Ruyin. Afterward, an ancient talisman the size of two fingers, resembling neither jade nor stone and engraved with the pattern of a mystical beast, flew out from Xu Ruyin’s forehead. Flashes of colorful light surged from the talisman, and countless tiny red points of light appeared. In the empty space, they formed a faint silhouette of a woman in a luxurious red palace gown with golden edges, wearing a bejeweled crown, her face delicate and features perfect. Even though her figure and face were ethereal, making her seem almost unreal, her mere presence commanded a sacred and noble bearing, making her every gesture seem divine. “Hmm? The senior is actually in this form?” Lu Changsheng looked at Hong Lian in front of him, his eyes revealing surprise and admiration, though his expression remained calm. He had thought that there was an old grandfather within Xu Ruyin. He had not expected it to actually be a fairy goddess! He couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly. Was he fortunate enough to have stumbled upon a streak of romantic luck? After capturing the younger, now he had been presented with the elder. Your ‘grandfather’ is truly beautiful, but soon will belong to me! “This mighty soul senior… is actually a woman…” Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes also showed a hint of surprise and disbelief. She had not expected the mighty soul within Xu Ruyin to be that of a woman. Despite her ethereal form, she hid none of her peerless elegance. Her eyes as picturesque as a painting, skin whiter than snow, figure slender, with an air of grace and vitality. Her pupils were red, and her lips very red, red like flames. It gave her an aura of sacred nobility and majesty, making others feel inferior and dare not defile. Ling Zixiao knew that this was the result of a long-cultivated prestige and poise of someone of high status. The senior in front of them was not only powerful, but also held no ordinary position. However, perhaps due to spending too much time with Lu Changsheng, she felt no sense of awe in her heart upon seeing this senior. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 In fact, she even remembered their return trip from Jiuxiao Immortal City to Qingzhu Mountain with Lu Changsheng when they ran into Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan. Back then, it was also a case of an elder and a younger person, but after encountering her lord husband… “What would you like to discuss, Young Master Lu?” Hong Lian asked softly, her voice cool and enchanting, like the most melodious of sounds. She knew there was no use continuing to hide. Lu Changsheng had clearly confirmed her existence and was not bluffing. If she continued to remain hidden, Lu Changsheng might employ other methods to force her to appear, so it was better to show herself straightforwardly. “There is nothing in particular, I was merely curious to meet the senior living within Miss Xu,” Lu Changsheng spoke calmly and composedly. If they were elsewhere, he would keep his distance from a mighty soul like Hong Lian and prepare defensive measures. But inside Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, with Mount Sumeru there, he felt no fear. Furthermore, Mount Sumeru had indicated that this soul’s power was presently restrained and could not unleash its full combat potential. “In front of Young Master Lu… I cannot lay claim to any notable seniority or wisdom,” Hong Lian replied, unable to gauge Lu Changsheng’s intentions, keeping her tone soft and graceful. “I wonder what it would take for Young Master Lu to allow me and Miss Xu to leave?” she continued to inquire with a calmly composed expression. “The senior must be aware, entering here, it is impossible for me to let you go,” Lu Changsheng replied with a light chuckle, “However, if the senior wishes to leave this place, it’s quite simple.” “As the saying goes, a good bird chooses the tree it perches in, a wise minister chooses the master he serves.” “For what reason does the senior choose to remain with Miss Xu? Whatever Miss Xu can offer you, I believe I can offer the same, and even more!” “Therefore, as long as the senior is willing to follow me, leaving this place will naturally be a simple matter,” said Lu Changsheng, a sincere expression appearing on his face.
