Chapter 2275: Chapter 754: Longyang, Heavenly Spiritual Root!
“Alright, thank you for your hard work, father.”
Inside the Kunpeng Egg, Lu Quanzhen stopped the “Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique” and quietly contemplated the state of his own body.
At this moment, he seemed to transform into a Kunpeng hatchling, allowing him to deeply comprehend the insights inherited from the Kunpeng Giant Egg.
Seeing that his son’s condition was stable, Lu Changsheng relaxed and left the Tianyuan Lotus.
With a slight mental shift, he made himself look somewhat unwell, with his mana in disorder, before proceeding to the guest hall.
There, in the hall, sat a woman in a plain, elegant green dress.
Her stunning features and tranquil, elegant demeanor seemed like they had stepped out of a painting of the fairy Lingbo, with a gentle and refined charm flowing between her brows.
“Third Palace Master.” Lu Changsheng’s gaze was gentle and scholarly as he slightly cupped his hands.
“Daoist Xuanmu.”
Upon hearing, Shen Yiren lightly glanced at Lu Changsheng.
Noticing his pale complexion and somewhat fatigued demeanor, she immediately showed concern and apologetically said, “I heard that Daoist and Second Sister encountered danger on Black Reef Island, so I came to visit, sorry for disturbing Daoist Xuanmu’s rest.”
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of prepared Upper Class Elixir Medicines from her Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Changsheng.
“Thank you for your kindness, Third Palace Master. I am just overexerted, not in any serious trouble, and will be fine after some rest.”
Lu Changsheng looked grateful as he waved his hand, yet fatigue still showed between his brows.
“This is my heartfelt gift, Daoist Xuanmu, please accept it.”
Shen Yiren stood and presented the Elixir Medicines to Lu Changsheng, her gentle voice like a spring breeze, attempting to dispel all his fatigue.
“In that case, I’ll accept it, lest I be discourteous.”
Seeing the insistence in the Third Palace Master’s eyes, Lu Changsheng hesitated for a moment but still accepted the Elixir, then inquired about the condition of Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang.
“Second Sister is fine; she just needs a period of rest.”
Shen Yiren’s voice was gentle.
Though Second Sister Shen Baishuang required many years of recuperation, the condition of a Nascent Soul True Lord’s injuries was a closely guarded secret in any faction.
Even though she trusted Lu Changsheng, she wouldn’t reveal it casually.
Then the two chatted and drank tea.
However, seeing Lu Changsheng’s pale, fatigued face and poor condition, Shen Yiren didn’t stay long, offering a few caring words before leaving.
As for the matters of the Puppet Battle Array and the Quasi-Fourth Rank Spirit Pet, though she was quite curious, she didn’t ask.
After all, those who had reached this level of cultivation all had their own opportunities and secrets.
Although Lu Changsheng, with many secrets, held no ill will toward the Goddess Palace and had achieved great merit, she naturally wouldn’t probe with a purpose.
“It seems that this battle’s performance still affected the Third Palace Master’s impression of me.”
Watching Shen Yiren’s graceful figure gradually disappear, Lu Changsheng thoughtfully touched his chin.
Realizing that his display in the battle, comparable to a Nascent Soul True Lord, had won him more respect and courtesy from Shen Yiren.
It was precisely this respect and courtesy that stopped their interaction from being as casual and natural as before.
However, such matters come with both advantages and disadvantages.
As long as there is enough time, Lu Changsheng was confident in restoring the relationship with the Third Palace Master to its original state and possibly even advancing further.
Gently shaking his head, Lu Changsheng returned to the Cave Mansion to continue assisting his son, Lu Quanzhen, with the Demon Fetus Transformation.
…
Goddess Palace, Bailu Palace.
“Why have you come?”
Shen Baishuang stepped out of her sleeping palace, observing the middle-aged man in the guest hall, wearing a Golden Crown and golden robe. Her willow eyebrows slightly knitted, her face indifferent as she spoke.
“I heard you tangled with the Six Paths Demon Consort again, so I was worried and came to check on you.”
The man’s features were exceedingly handsome and refined, his face like a jade crown, speaking softly with eyes filled with warmth.
“Hmm, thank you for your concern. Now that you’ve checked, please leave.”
Shen Baishuang’s face was still pale, lacking her usual majestic and cold demeanor, her voice remaining calm as she spoke.
“Baishuang, you haven’t returned to Sword Casting Manor for a long time. You’re seriously injured, why not return to the Sword Casting Manor to recover?”
This man, with a face like a jade crown, was none other than the current Manor Master of Sword Casting Manor, husband to the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace — Yuanwei True Monarch, Lin Yuanting!
“Return to Sword Casting Manor? Why, to witness your disgusting affairs?”
Hearing this, Shen Baishuang’s beautiful eyes, like a phoenix tail, instantly filled with a certain coldness, a look of disgust.
“Baishuang…”
The man sighed lowly, his eyes brimming with guilt.
“Once I recover, I will return.”
Shen Baishuang said indifferently.
Though she was the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, she also held the title of Manor Master’s Wife of the Sword Casting Manor.
As the Manor Master’s Wife, yet often staying with her maiden family and not returning to the Goddess Palace, she risked gossip, suggesting disharmony between the couple or even friction between the Goddess Palace and Sword Casting Manor.
“Alright, take good care of your injuries. Here is an Ice Soul Jade Marrow Pill I had Alchemist Ge refine for you, it should help with your injuries.”
Knowing his wife’s nature, Lin Yuanting sighed lightly as he took out a bottle of pills from his Storage Ring and handed it to her.
“Accept it, it’s a token of my care.”
As if fearing Shen Baishuang wouldn’t accept it, he added another sentence, then cupped his hands and left.
Shen Baishuang took the pills, watching Lin Yuanting leave; she wanted to throw it, but ultimately tossed it to the side, her mood chaotic.
In the Starry Sky Sea, it was nearly common knowledge that her relationship with Lin Yuanting was strained.
Rumors claimed she was too domineering; others suggested Lin Yuanting secretly fancied either her older sister Shen Jianjia or younger sister Shen Yiren.
But only she knew the truth, that her husband did not like women… and possessed the Dragon Yang Peculiarity.
Years ago, when the old Manor Master came to the Goddess Palace to propose, it was precisely because he knew his son had the Dragon Yang Peculiarity and wanted to reverse his orientation, so that the Sword Casting Manor and Lin Family could have a bloodline.
