Chapter 35: Return to Qingzhu Mountain!

Outside the dilapidated temple, the rain poured down heavily.

Inside the temple, Li Feiyu, who was about to see how Lu Changsheng would deal with Qu Zhenzhen, was stunned when he heard those words, and his whole body froze in astonishment.

He looked at Lu Changsheng with a puzzled expression.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to suddenly say something so shameless.

Love at first sight?

Spending the rest of your life together?

Is that what you call love at first sight?

This is clearly just lusting after someone’s body and Spirit Root!

Of course, he didn’t want to spoil his good friend’s plan.

He also knew that his good friend didn’t have any big ambitions in this life.

He just wanted to live in peace, have several wives, a house full of children, and a few Spirit Root children.

The girl in front of them had an excellent appearance, possessed a Spirit Root, and had nowhere to go.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng’s request was reasonable and logical.

After all, the chances of having children with Spirit Roots are much higher if you have children with a woman who possesses a Spirit Root.

In his opinion, given Lu Changsheng’s current situation, even as a talisman master, it wouldn’t be easy to find a few Spirit Root ‘fairies’ to have children with.

After all, pregnancy and childbirth greatly affect a female cultivator’s cultivation.

Therefore, many female cultivators, even if they are willing to become Dao Companion, are not very willing to get pregnant and have children.

“Ah.” 

Qu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard Lu Changsheng’s words, and was a little slow to react. 

With teary eyes, she stared blankly at Lu Changsheng’s clear and graceful face and tall and slender figure.

The next moment, a blush crept onto her slightly chubby and pale cheeks.

This… This…

This young hero’s words are too direct, aren’t they?

Although many dramas say that there’s no way to repay a life-saving grace but to offer yourself, this is too direct.

She didn’t even know his name.

Besides, shouldn’t it be her initiative to bring up such matters?

In an instant, Qu Zhenzhen’s mind became dizzy and she felt a bit confused.

Meeting Lu Changsheng’s gentle gaze, Qu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter as she quickly lowered her head and blushed.

“There is no rush in this matter. You can think it over carefully and give me your answer before dawn.” 

Lu Changsheng looked at the shy girl and said calmly.

With that, he took out a purification talisman and activated it in front of the girl.

The girl’s wet pink dress was instantly dried, cleaned, and neat.

This was obviously a small trick.

A way to show off with a spell.

Although he had his morals and wouldn’t do anything coercive, his limits weren’t very high and he could be flexible.

Besides, from Lu Changsheng’s point of view, it was quite normal to want to attract a girl and show off, and it didn’t amount to moral degradation.

“This… Are you immortal?” 

Qu Zhenzhen saw Lu Changsheng take out the talisman, and a breeze blew, cleaning her clothes, her small face full of surprise.

She also remembered that Li Feiyu had just burned the old man with a single palm, thinking it was some kind of martial art without thinking too much about it.

Now it seems like it’s definitely the work of immortals.

At the surprised look of the girl, Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said softly, “We are cultivators, also known as the ‘immortals’ you usually hear about.”

“Cultivators?” 

When Qu Zhenzhen heard this her watery eyes showed some confusion.

“That’s right, as long as you have a Spirit Root, you can cultivate and become a cultivator.”

“The old man wanted to offer you as a concubine to a cultivator because you have a Spirit Root.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and explained.

“So it’s my fault that my parents died.”

Hearing this, the girl burst into tears again.

After crying for a moment, Qu Zhenzhen raised her head, her eyes red and tearful, and looked at Lu Changsheng and said, “Sir, I can never repay your great kindness. I am willing to marry you.”

Li Feiyu remained silent on the side, silently watching Lu Changsheng deceive the young girl.

“Are you sure you’ve thought this through?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

He suspected that Qu Zhenzhen’s agreement might also be due to his identity as a cultivator, perhaps hoping that he could help him get revenge or something.

However, cultivators who engaged in human trafficking in the mortal world probably weren’t very powerful.

In the future, when Qu Zhenzhen became the mother of his child and her cultivation improved, if she wanted to take revenge, Lu Changsheng would be willing to help her.

“I’ve thought it through.”

Qu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, gathered her courage, and looked at Lu Changsheng.

However, after their eyes locked for a moment, her pale face couldn’t help but blush down to her earlobes.

After a brief moment of eye contact between Lu Changsheng and the girl whose eyes were still red with tears, Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “Alright, since you’ve decided, come with me tomorrow. By the way, my name is Lu Changsheng.”

Then Lu Changsheng took out a spiritual contract and used it as a marriage contract, and got engaged to Qu Zhenzhen.

It was obtained from the loot of the three bandit cultivators at Niutou Mountain.

It had the effect of a simple contract.

If it was broken, there would be a certain backlash, and in the future, it could easily lead to the birth of inner demons during cultivation.

To be honest, it had some effect, but not much, just better than nothing.

Later, Lu Changsheng briefly explained to Qu Zhenzhen his own situation and some common knowledge about cultivating immortality. 

He also asked Qu Zhenzhen how the old man knew that she had a Spirit Root.

Qu Zhenzhen herself was not sure. 

Later, Lu Changsheng found a Spirit Stone of Communication in the old man’s bundle. 

It was a spiritual item that could sense whether others had Spirit Roots or not. 

When it was near someone with a spirit root, the stone would emit a faint light. 

This helped Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu understand how the old man knew about Qu Zhenzhen’s Spirit Root.

Most likely, this old man was working for a “decayed cultivator”.

In the mortal world, there were some cultivators who, due to various reasons such as their aptitude, age, injuries, and so on, knew that they had no hope of cultivating immortality, so they gave up cultivation. 

They turned to a life of pleasure, wealth, and worldly power. 

Such cultivators were called “decayed cultivators.

The most common practice among them was to use their influence to find Spirit Rooted women to expand their lineage. 

When they realized that there was no hope for their own cultivation, they naturally placed their cultivation dreams on the next generation.

That was the way it was.

The next day, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu were accompanied by Qu Zhenzhen on their way back.

Qu Zhenzhen rode on a single horse with Lu Changsheng. 

She sat in front of Spirit Horse and held Nine Netherworld Hound, while Lu Changsheng held her hands and the reins. 

Qu Zhenzhen’s face was slightly flushed, but she wasn’t overly shy. 

After all, Lu Changsheng was her future husband, so a certain amount of intimacy was normal.

Considering that Qu Zhenzhen had been offered to a cultivator by the old man, Lu Changsheng was worried about trouble, so he increased their speed and vigilance on the way.

However, it turned out to be a false alarm, and they encountered no danger on their journey.

Seven days later, the three humans and the beast successfully returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
