Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2844: Chapter 918: Blood Coagulation Battle Spear, Farewell Shen Jianjia! (Part 2)

In the early years, she would occasionally visit the Sword Casting Manor to maintain their superficial relationship and the interactions between the two families.

But now, she completely doesn’t want to see Lin Yuanting.

Over the years, she has always used closed-door cultivation as an excuse and hasn’t gone to Sword Casting Manor.

But after all, Lin Yuanting is her nominal husband.

If he personally comes by, she can’t avoid meeting him.

"Second Aunt, there are some matters for you to cultivate on your own from now on."

Shen Baishuang was not interested in continuing to fool around with Shen Yuanming and said a word before transforming into a divine rainbow, disappearing into the cloud sea behind the cliff.

...

Upon arriving at her Bailu Palace, Shen Baishuang saw her husband, who was wearing a golden crown and draped in a golden robe.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Baishuang suppressed her inner irritation and spoke.

"You’ve been away from Sword Casting Manor for quite a while, so I came to check on you."

Lin Yuanting looked at his wife in front of him and sighed.

As the current Manor Master of Sword Casting Manor, his identity and status are not inferior to Shen Baishuang.

However, he always felt guilty towards Shen Baishuang, so he lowered his demeanor.

"I’m fine; I’ve just been in closed-door cultivation for the past few days."

Perhaps because of the Dragon Yang Peculiarity, Shen Baishuang couldn’t appreciate her husband Lin Yuanting’s character, finding him indecisive and lacking masculine dominance, even less than a woman.

Hence, in daily interactions, she grew increasingly displeased with Lin Yuanting.

However, because of the Xuanmu Taoist affair, she felt some guilt and lightly sighed, saying, "In a few days, I will go to Sword Casting Manor."

No matter how much she dislikes Lin Yuanting, they are still husband and wife, Dao companions.

It’s impossible to never interact.

Moreover, their relationship also affects the ties between Goddess Palace and Sword Casting Manor.

"Okay, I also came here to tell you something."

Lin Yuanting gently said, "Lanxi recently broke through to Nascent Soul, so I thought you’d better handle the matters of the Nascent Soul Ceremony."

"Lin Lanxi broke through to Nascent Soul?"

Shen Baishuang shared a good relationship with this little sister-in-law early on, even being close confidants who called her Sister Baishuang.

After marrying Lin Yuanting, the other party would often call her sister-in-law.

However, as her relationship with Lin Yuanting grew rigid, the appearance only, and estrangement occurred, the little sister-in-law Lin Lanxi also gradually distanced herself, becoming indifferent in their relationship.

Over the years, Lin Lanxi has been in closed-door secret cultivation, preparing for Nascent Soul matters, so the aunt and sister-in-law haven’t seen each other for a long time.

Nonetheless, she was still happy for her sister-in-law breaking through to Nascent Soul.

But thinking of this sister-in-law’s personality, with the Nascent Soul breakthrough now, Shen Baishuang couldn’t help frowning.

"Alright, I’ll prepare and inform Sister, then I’ll go over." Shen Baishuang spoke.

No matter what, with her sister-in-law breaking through to Nascent Soul, as the sister-in-law and Manor Owner’s wife, she must go over to host and help organize the ceremony.

Moreover, when Lin Yuanting’s father found out about his son’s affairs, he apologized to her and handed over much of the control of Sword Casting Manor to her, his daughter-in-law.

Under such circumstances, she could easily cause dissatisfaction among the elders of Sword Casting Manor if she were always at Goddess Palace, neglecting Sword Casting Manor.

"Baishuang, hasn’t Yiren prepared the Nascent Soul matters yet?"

Lin Yuanting asked with concern.

Not as the rumors suggest, having notions about the little sister-in-law Shen Yiren.

Simply because Shen Yiren’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul has been delayed excessively.

Even his own little sister, Lin Lanxi, has already broken through, yet Shen Yiren remains silent.

Upon hearing about her younger sister’s Nascent Soul matter, Shen Baishuang’s irritation skyrocketed.

If not for Bailu Palace, the Xuanmu Taoist affair, her sister Shen Yiren might have long broken through to Nascent Soul.

And now...

"Damn Xuanmu Taoist!" Shen Baishuang cursed inwardly, feeling that the mistake wasn’t entirely her own.

She had good intentions to matchmake him with her sister, but he disguised his strength and acted indecently!

If everything had gone according to her plans, and Xuanmu Taoist and her sister had united as Dao companions, both advancing to Nascent Soul, there wouldn’t be so many issues!

Thinking about this, Shen Baishuang’s anger boiled over, her delicate body involuntarily trembling.

However, with her husband Lin Yuanting still nearby, she suppressed the fury within her and said, "Yiren needs more time to prepare for Nascent Soul."

Lin Yuanting noticed his wife’s unusual mood, thinking it related to him.

Thus, he refrained from questioning further and nodded, saying, "Alright, if there’s any lack of resources or need for help, feel free to tell me anytime."

Even though Sword Casting Manor isn’t on par with places like Star Moon Palace or the Dan Alliance, as a renowned artifact refining force in Starry Sky Sea, it has formidable reserves.

Especially considering his father was once the top Artifact Refiner in Starry Sky Sea, leaving behind many connections and favors.

Therefore, whether it’s top-level Nascent Condensation Spiritual Items or top-level Heart Tribulation Spiritual Objects, as long as he’s willing, he can trade and purchase them.

"Hmm." Shen Baishuang nodded, feeling inexplicably irritated by Lin Yuanting’s attitude.

It wasn’t that the other party’s attitude was bad.

It was that the other party’s attitude was too good.

After a brief conversation, Shen Baishuang informed her sister Shen Jianjia about Lin Lanxi’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, and then proceeded with Lin Yuanting to the Sword Casting Manor.

Although Shen Jianjia forbade her from going out, it was mainly to prevent her from causing trouble, so she was to stay at home for reflection.

Going to the Sword Casting Manor to organize the Nascent Soul ceremony was a proper matter, so naturally, she would not be stopped.

...

Meanwhile, in the depths of the ocean.𝒻𝖗𝒆ⅇ𝘸𝚎𝚋𝘯𝓸𝓿𝐞𝒍.𝔠𝔬𝓂

"Master."

Lu Lingjing called out to Lu Changsheng, indicating that he had reached the vicinity of the Penglai Island as instructed.

"Alright." Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng extended his Divine Sense, then emerged with Gui Dang and Qin Yunning from the stomach chamber of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

For top-level powers like Penglai Island, the arrays on each major island have the ability to sense and detect the presence of demon beasts.

If the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale got too close, it might be seen as an attack or provocation.

Although Lu Changsheng was unafraid,

his visit to the Goddess Palace was meant to be a polite one, so there was no need to make a grand spectacle of it.

"So this is the traveling speed of a Nascent Soul True Lord and Fourth Rank Demon King..."

Qin Yunning looked at the sea chart, saw that they had reached the vicinity of Penglai Island, and was filled with amazement.

Back then, when she traveled from Penglai Island to the Great Dream Immortal City to deliver a message, it took her over half a year.

Yet this return journey took less than half a month.

"Lingjing, thank you for your effort."

Lu Changsheng instructed Lu Lingjing to transform into human form, and together with himself, Gui Dang, and Qin Yunning, they surged out of the sea towards Penglai Island and the Goddess Palace.

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Yunning sent a message to her master.

In less than half a day, the two humans and two demons arrived at the mountain gate of the Goddess Palace.

Looking at the Goddess Palace ahead, Lu Changsheng was filled with emotion.

In the past, seeking Nascent Soul opportunities, he came to gather information about his son Lu Quanzhen at the Goddess Palace, serving as an honored guest.

He never expected a series of events to unfold here.

He unexpectedly became involved with the Second and Third Palace Masters of the Goddess Palace and fathered a child with Shen Yiren.

Calculating the time, it has been seventeen years since then.

Shen Yiren took five years to give birth, and now their son Shen Yuanming is twelve years old.

Before he could indulge in much reflection, the Fourth Rank Grand Array of the Goddess Palace suddenly rippled with waves.

A figure, dazzling and peerlessly charming, appeared.

Even after many years, upon seeing the master of the Goddess Palace again, Lu Changsheng’s gaze revealed a hint of marvel.

With a grand gown flowing like a starry river, her posture was elegant, and her curves were alluring.

Her waterfall-like black silky hair was styled into a Flying Immortal Bun using a Phoenix Head Hairpin, with golden Step Shakes adorning her temples, and jade Yingluo dangling, epitomizing elegance and splendor.

Her absolutely beautiful face glimmered with a hazy sheen, yet Lu Changsheng could clearly see that her features were flawless, without a single imperfection.

"I am Lu Changsheng, greetings to Shen Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng bowed with clasped hands, revealing his true identity.

After all, there was no point in concealing it at this stage.

"Master?" Qin Yunning was surprised.

She did not expect her master to personally come out to greet them, a rare honor.

After all, an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator would not warrant Shen Jianjia’s personal reception.

"Lu True Monarch, you and I are both Nascent Soul Cultivators; no need for formalities."

Shen Jianjia’s eyes were like stars, with a plum blossom imprint flowing at the center of her brow, calmly observing Lu Changsheng.

Upon receiving Qin Yunning’s message, she had sensed Lu Changsheng’s arrival from afar.

Other than seeing through Lu Lingjing as a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King at a glance,

she could not easily see through Lu Changsheng and the Turtle Immortal Ancestor, who appeared like an old servant.

Now, face-to-face, it was the same.

She realized, as she had judged, this person was no ordinary figure, likely a great cultivation reincarnation.

"This is my spiritual pet, Lingjing; and this is the steward, Ah Gui."

Lu Changsheng noticed Shen Jianjia observing them, and proactively introduced.

"Please, Daoist." Shen Jianjia did not linger on them, nor exchanged pleasantries, lightly raised her jade hand, and led them into the Goddess Palace.

Although she couldn’t see through Lu Changsheng and the Turtle Immortal Ancestor, she showed no fear.

This was the Goddess Palace, her domain.

With a Fourth Rank Grand Array, she could even contend with a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator if needed.
