Establish A Long-Lived Family From The Son-In-Law

Chapter 33: Rainy Night, Old Man and Young Girl!

Half a month later.

"Boom!"

A sound of thunder echoed through the dry land.

"It looks like it's going to rain."

On the official road, Lu Changsheng, riding a spirited steed, glanced at the dark clouds gathering in the gloomy sky and spoke up.

"It's getting late, and there happens to be a temple ahead. Let's rest there for the night."

Li Feiyu looked at the darkening sky and said.

"A desolate mountain, a dilapidated temple, heavy rain... I hope we don't encounter any accidents."

Lu Changsheng also noticed the abandoned ancient temple ahead and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But this kind of weather is not suitable for staying outside overnight.

The two of them rode their spirited steeds and quickly arrived at the ancient temple.

The temple was in a state of disrepair, overgrown with weeds, filled with dust, and spider webs.

Lu Changsheng used a cleaning spell to tidy up a bit, picked up some firewood, and started a campfire.

Then he took out some raw meat from his storage bag and began to feed the Nine Nether Hound.

"This little thing can really eat."

Li Feiyu looked at the Nine Nether Hound devouring the meat and said.

"Yeah, I don't know how it can fit all that in its stomach."

Lu Changsheng said.

Although the Nine Nether Hound was still a cub, its appetite was huge. It could easily eat five or six catties of raw meat in one meal.

Ordinary raw meat was not a problem, even if it had to eat a hundred catties a day, they could afford it.

But Lu Changsheng felt that if he wanted the Nine Nether Hound to grow faster, he would probably have to feed it demonic beast meat.

Feeding demonic beast meat would be expensive.

Even the cheapest demonic beast meat sold by the Lu family would cost one spirit stone for five or six catties.

This made Lu Changsheng feel that if he wanted to raise the Nine Nether Hound to the fourth rank all the way, it would probably cost him a lot of money and resources.

The Nine Nether Hound was still a cub, so as long as it was full, it would go to sleep. Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu also began to meditate and rest.

As the night grew darker, heavy rain poured outside.

Just then.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu, who were meditating, opened their eyes at the same time.

The creaking sound of the temple door being opened could be heard, and an old man and a young girl walked in.

The old man was thin, wearing a black cloth robe and carrying a gray package on his back.

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu inside the temple, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, then he clasped his hands and said, "This old man and my granddaughter happened to pass by here. We seek shelter from the rain. Sorry to disturb you two young gentlemen."

"This temple doesn't belong to me, please make yourselves at home."

Lu Changsheng looked at the old man and said, then glanced at the young girl in the pink dress next to the old man.

This young girl appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old.

Wearing a pink smoke-colored long dress, she was not stunningly beautiful, but still quite pretty. Her face was fair and white, with a hint of baby fat, giving her a pure and beautiful appearance.

Due to the heavy rain, the pink dress on the girl's body was soaked, clinging to her budding youthful figure, revealing glimpses of her slender and beautiful legs.

Her jet-black hair was slightly messy against her cheeks, making her look fragile and pitiful, but also with a hint of youthful allure.

However, what surprised people was that while the girl's whole body was drenched, the old man's cloth robe was barely wet by the rain outside.

The old man smiled and clasped his hands, then sat down with the young girl.

"This old man is an Innate expert, right?"

Lu Changsheng withdrew his gaze and used sound transmission technique to communicate with Li Feiyu.

At a glance, he could tell that the old man was a martial artist.

And being able to stay dry in the pouring rain clearly indicated extraordinary martial skills, so he speculated that the old man was an Innate expert.

"That's right, 'a feather cannot be added, and a fly cannot land.' This is the technique of an Innate expert."

Li Feiyu also transmitted his voice back.

He naturally knew a few basic spells of cultivation, and he was even more proficient than Lu Changsheng in practicing them.

"But this old man and the young girl are obviously not a grandfather and granddaughter," Li Feiyu continued.

"Oh? How did you figure that out?" Lu Changsheng asked.

He also felt that the two of them didn't look like a grandfather and granddaughter.

Because there was no warmth between them as there would be between a grandfather and granddaughter.

But he didn't know why Li Feiyu was so certain, and wanted to hear what this 'old river and lake' had to say.

"Their behavior and posture don't resemble that of a grandfather and granddaughter. What grandfather would let his granddaughter get drenched like this?"

"Moreover, this old man is an Innate expert, but the girl doesn't show any signs of martial arts training, which is also unreasonable."

"But all of this can be explained, the most important thing is that this girl has been acupunctured and can't speak."

"And when she saw us just now, her eyes lit up and showed a glimmer of hope, as if she was asking for help."

Li Feiyu explained in detail to Lu Changsheng.

"Alright, it's different when you've traveled the rivers and lakes."

"In that case, do you want to play the hero and save the beauty?"

Lu Changsheng exclaimed.

He didn't expect Li Feiyu to notice so many things in such a short time.

He had a cultivation level of three layers of Qi Refinement, but he only noticed that the old man was an Innate expert and didn't pay attention to so many details.

"I grew up in the Red Whale Gang and started wandering the rivers and lakes at the age of twelve. I still have some insight."

"As for saving the beauty, there's no rush for now. Let's see how the situation unfolds."

Li Feiyu said with a hint of self-satisfaction in his voice.

While the two were communicating through voice transmission, the old man took out some dry rations from his bag and said quite naturally, "Can you two young gentlemen lend me a fire so I can roast the rations?"

"And my granddaughter's clothes are wet now, if we don't make a fire, she might catch a cold and get sick."

As he spoke, the old man walked towards Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu.

Seeing the old man approaching, Lu Changsheng immediately narrowed his eyes and became somewhat wary, putting his hand into his pocket and holding a stack of talismans.

He clearly remembered what Li Feiyu had told him, that an Innate warrior's strength was not inferior to a cultivator at the third layer of Qi Refinement.

If they were to engage in close combat, the Innate warrior would have a greater chance of winning.

The origin of this old man was unknown, and coupled with Li Feiyu's recent words, there were obviously some issues.

In this situation, he naturally became cautious, ready to take action if the other party made any suspicious moves.

"Please, go ahead!"

At this moment, Li Feiyu spoke up.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng, saying, "Leave it to me."

Lu Changsheng didn't reply, still holding the talismans, remaining vigilant.

The old man arrived at the campfire and handed over the dry rations, saying, "You two young gentlemen haven't eaten yet, why not have some?"

"Roar!"

Just then, the Nine Nether Hound, who was sleeping next to Lu Changsheng, suddenly woke up and roared at the old man.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng calmly pacified the Nine Nether Hound, ready to take action at any moment.

"We've already eaten."

Li Feiyu looked at the old man and smiled.

"In that case, I'll just light a fire."

The old man seemed to have not noticed the roar of the Nine Nether Hound, and bent down to pick up a piece of firewood from the campfire.

Just then, Li Feiyu looked at the old man with a smile that seemed like a smile and said, "Is this fire not enough? Shall I add some for you?"

Before his words fell, Li Feiyu's robe fluttered, and he suddenly slapped towards the old man with a powerful palm strike, creating a strong gust of wind.

Faced with this sudden palm strike, the old man seemed to be prepared, reacting very quickly and raising his hand to strike back.

But in that instant, a thumb-sized flame appeared in the palm of Li Feiyu's hand.

"Bang!"

"Ah!!!"

The two palms collided, and the old man immediately let out a scream of agony as his palm caught fire.

Immediately, the flames spread from his arm to his whole body at a visible speed, reducing him to ashes.
