Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 2785: Qu Changge’s Shock!

"Chensha is currently in Great Dream Immortal City, preparing for his Core Formation. You can go see him."

Hong Lian knew Xu Ruyin’s feelings toward Lu Changsheng were extremely complicated.

She didn’t try to persuade her directly; instead, she used Lu Chensha’s situation to tell her that Lu Changsheng held no prejudice against her.

He’d always kept her in mind and took great care of Lu Chensha.

In fact, although Lu Chensha wasn’t particularly coddled by Lu Changsheng, by relying on his Beast Taming talent, cultivating the Beast Technique, and raising Iron Fire Ants, he was quite valued by Lu Changsheng.

Not only had he obtained a Heaven Rank Spiritual Insect like the Hui God Worm, Lu Changsheng had even prepared in advance a Third Rank Demon King, the Illusionary Shadow Mink.

His Fifth Grade Spiritual Root had also been raised to Fourth Grade thanks to Lu Wangshu’s Heaven-replenishing Elixir.

Because of his cultivation of the Beast Technique, his previous Fifth Grade Spiritual Root was already comparable to a Superior Grade Spiritual Root, so his Core Formation was practically guaranteed.

Once he successfully formed a contract with the Illusionary Shadow Mink, with the series of Superior Core Formation Spiritual Objects Lu Changsheng had prepared for him, he might even hope to condense an Immortal Golden Core.

In truth, Great Dream Immortal City wasn’t very suitable for cultivators like her and Lu Chensha, who focused on Beast Taming and Insect Control, to temper themselves.

Once they entered the water, their combat strength would drop by thirty percent for no reason, making it hard to fight at full power.

"Mm." Hong Lian roughly explained Lu Chensha’s situation, indicating that he was doing quite well.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Red Lotus."

Xu Ruyin hadn’t spent much time with Lu Chensha, and her feelings for this son were also very complicated.

But she knew that for her son Lu Chensha to have achieved what he had and be cultivating in Great Dream Immortal City, Hong Lian’s care had been indispensable.

"Miss Xu, there’s no need for us to be so distant."

Hong Lian chuckled softly. She could feel that every time she and Xu Ruyin parted ways, a faint layer of distance would grow between them.

The two chatted for a while, then prepared to head to the City Lord Mansion.

Just then, Xu Ruyin’s expression turned hesitant, as if she wanted to speak but held herself back.

"What is it, Miss Xu?"

Hong Lian had long seen that Xu Ruyin seemed to be weighed down by something, and that this time, her demeanor was quite different from their previous partings.

"Senior Red Lotus..."

Xu Ruyin lightly bit her red lips, hesitated for a moment, then lifted her head to look at Hong Lian and said, "After I broke through to Core Formation this time, it feels like I shattered the Mystery of the Womb. In the depths of my Sea of Consciousness, some memories have begun to surface..."

Although she had shattered the Mystery of the Womb and awakened a few fragments of past-life memories...

Those memories were very incomplete and blurred.

If she wanted to awaken more memories, gain her past-life insights and foundation, the simplest and most direct method was to raise her Cultivation Realm. .

Yet the main means her past self had prepared were precisely the Ancient Beast Taming Charm and Hong Lian.

Now, Hong Lian had reshaped her body and married Lu Changsheng as his wife, and the Ancient Beast Taming Charm was also in Hong Lian’s hands.

It was basically impossible for her to retrieve it by any other means.

So she decided to come clean.

To confess to Hong Lian and Lu Changsheng her identity as a Great Cultivation reincarnate.

Facing Lu Changsheng, who had already grown in such a short span into a man who alone had captured and slain six Nascent Soul True Lords, she felt utterly unable to resist and had already resigned herself.

And her feelings toward Lu Changsheng were extremely complex.

There was humiliation and fear, but also submission, admiration, and a vague affection and gratitude...

"Shattered the Mystery of the Womb!?"

Hong Lian’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.

Shattering the Mystery of the Womb and awakening past-life memories did not necessarily mean one was a Great Cultivation reincarnate.

But to awaken past-life memories just by breaking through to Core Formation meant that her previous life was anything but ordinary—at the very least, she’d been a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Moreover, Hong Lian had pondered Xu Ruyin’s situation years ago.

First, Xu Ruyin had picked up the Ancient Beast Taming Charm and awakened her.

Second, other than Xu Ruyin and Lu Chensha, no third member of the Lu Family had successfully cultivated the Beast Technique.

So Hong Lian suspected that Lu Chensha’s ability to cultivate the Beast Technique might be related to Xu Ruyin.

It was just that when she’d examined Lu Chensha’s physical condition, she hadn’t found any hidden Spiritual Body or the like.

Now, upon hearing Xu Ruyin’s words, she immediately realized that it was very likely a matter of bloodline and Divine Soul Traits!

As Xu Ruyin’s son, Lu Chensha had inherited and been stained with her Divine Soul Traits.

It might be precisely these Divine Soul Traits that allowed Lu Chensha to cultivate the Beast Technique.

"Your previous life was from the Northern Origin?" Hong Lian fixed her gaze on Xu Ruyin before her and asked.

Her own previous life had been in the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm.

While exploring and attempting to unravel the ruins of a Sect suspected to be the Ancient Times Feathering Ice Palace...

Just as the relic had been broken open, she’d been affected, forced into a battle with a Nascent Soul Cultivator from her mortal enemy, the Ice Divine Palace, and had even self-detonated her Nascent Soul.

When she woke, she found herself inside the Ancient Beast Taming Charm.

She had always wanted to know the current situation, to return to the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm and take a look at the Vermilion Bird Palace.

"I’m not sure. The memories in my mind are very blurred, very incomplete, as if many of them are shrouded by mist..."

Xu Ruyin shook her head and said.

"Shrouded by mist?" Hong Lian instantly realized that Xu Ruyin’s situation was far from simple.

She very much wanted to keep asking.

But she understood that Xu Ruyin had spoken frankly to her not just to inform her, but also to ask for her help.

She didn’t mind helping, but right now she was fully focused on preparing matters related to her own Nascent Soul and needed to sit in Great Dream Immortal City.

Moreover, Xu Ruyin’s situation involved a Great Cultivation reincarnate, and the other party’s relationship with Lu Changsheng was tangled and complex. Hong Lian felt it would be difficult to handle and best left until Lu Changsheng returned.

"Miss Xu, rest in the Immortal City for now. My husband previously rushed to the Yue Country front lines. Now that the Liang Yue War has been settled, he should be back before long. Then you can explain everything to him."

Hong Lian pondered for a moment before speaking.

Xu Ruyin had originally wanted to ask through Hong Lian whether the Ancient Beast Taming Charm could be returned to her hands, so that she could use the charm to unlock the inheritance within and raise Spiritual Pets.

But upon hearing Hong Lian’s words, she understood that this matter would have to be approved by Lu Changsheng.

"Mm." She sighed softly in her heart, not wanting to put Hong Lian in a difficult position, and went with her to the City Lord Mansion to visit her son, Lu Chensha.
