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

Chapter 78: Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong, can we drop it now?

There is a saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

That night, there was a fierce battle, with several rounds of excitement and passion that are not suitable for outsiders to know.

Because this trip home would only last for three days, Lu Changsheng didn't spend much time practicing or making talismans. Instead, he used his time to accompany his wives and children.

During this time, Lu Changsheng also mentioned to Lu Miaoyun about buying a maid in Jiulongfang Market.

There was nothing to hide about this matter. His wives would eventually find out once Shao Yuyao became pregnant.

Lu Miaoyun also understood her husband's personality and wouldn't mind too much about it.

After all, when she agreed to marry Lu Changsheng, she was mentally prepared for this.

She just asked Lu Changsheng with concern about how his life in Jiulongfang Market was this month.

Lu Changsheng felt warm in his heart from his young wife's concern.

He assured her that besides missing his wives and children, everything else was fine.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng went to visit the fourth elder and received guidance on talismans.

During the process, the fourth elder also asked about his situation in Jiulongfang Market and whether he was adapting well.

Naturally, Lu Changsheng said there were no problems.

On his way back, he also stopped by the fifth elder to buy a batch of spirit wine.

In this way, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were ready to set off for Jiulongfang Market.

Their twenty-fifth child was about to be born in these few days.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't wait for the child to be born before leaving home.

This situation would happen again in the future, and he couldn't always stay by their side.

There's always a first time for everything.

On the way back to Jiulongfang Market, Lu Changsheng's Iron Feather Eagle had a maid named Xiaoqing with him.

Bringing Xiaoqing to Jiulongfang Market was mentioned by Lu Miaoyun before.

In addition, he couldn't stop having children, and having only Shao Yuyao by his side was not enough.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of bringing too many people on the Iron Feather Eagle, Lu Changsheng would have wanted to bring Guan Xin to Jiulongfang Market as well.

But he wasn't in a hurry, he could bring her next month.

Because he brought Xiaoqing along, this trip took half a day longer than before.

At the same time, Xiaoqing didn't have a protective robe, so she used up three wind-avoidance talismans while traveling on the Iron Feather Eagle.

If it weren't for Lu Changsheng having many talismans on him, this would have been a considerable expense just for the three wind-avoidance talismans, costing six spirit stones.

When entering the city, Lu Changsheng also arranged for Xiaoqing to have a long-term identity card.

He couldn't help but think that bringing someone to live in the market was also a considerable expense.

When Lu Changsheng brought Xiaoqing back to the Lu family mansion, he ran into Lu Miaohuan.

She gave him a disdainful cold snort with a face full of contempt.

This made Lu Changsheng a little unhappy.

It's fine if you occasionally snort a few times.

But to coldly snort and show contempt every time we meet?

Am I not the dream of a future immortal with billions of followers?

Do you have to treat me so poorly?

Moreover, during the blind date, although I was at fault, it was because you, Miss Second, had too high demands and didn't allow me to marry and take concubines. That's why I refused.

Otherwise, with this face, this figure, these legs, and a sixth-grade spiritual root, as long as you had half of Lu Miaoyun's good character, I feel like I would have agreed.

"Miss Second, is there something wrong with your health? Every time I see you, you have a frowning face and make noises."

"If there really is a problem, you should go see a doctor early. Otherwise, it won't be good if it's delayed."

Lu Changsheng glanced at Miss Second and said unkindly.

After speaking, he took Xiaoqing back to his own courtyard.

Lu Miaohuan didn't expect that after so long, Lu Changsheng not only didn't apologize or admit his mistake, but also mocked her. She immediately felt unhappy.

In a cold voice, she said, "I'm perfectly fine. I just don't like you. Is that not allowed?"

Her voice was still cold and pleasant to the ear.

Lu Changsheng heard Miss Second's direct and unyielding words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Looking at Lu Miaohuan's cold and beautiful face, still full of anger, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but retort, "Then don't look."

"I want to look. What's it to you?"

Lu Miaohuan's face was puffed up, her delicate chin slightly raised, and she looked cold and noble.

"I don't care if you look or not. If you insist on finding fault with yourself, then you can continue to be unhappy."

Lu Changsheng finished speaking and shook his head as he left.

"Lu Changsheng, stop right there!"

Lu Miaohuan saw Lu Changsheng's posture and her delicate face swelled up with anger, like a pufferfish.

"You have a problem with me, so why should I stop? Are you looking for trouble?" Lu Changsheng paused and turned his head.

"What kind of attitude is this!?" Lu Miaohuan's face turned frosty, her chest heaving with anger.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I apologize, is that enough?" Lu Changsheng's face was full of perfunctoriness, saying something that could infuriate anyone.

"What do you mean 'is that enough'? It was clearly your fault, is this your way of apologizing!?" Lu Miaohuan saw Lu Changsheng's appearance and couldn't understand why she was so angry.

An unnamed anger surged in her heart, making her particularly displeased.

Lu Changsheng looked at her posture and remembered that this Miss belonged to the spoiled Miss temperament.

She had no understanding of social etiquette and how to interact with others.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so he turned around, bowed slightly, and said seriously, "Alright, it's my fault. I sincerely apologize to Miss Lu. Please forgive me, Miss."

Seeing Lu Changsheng sincerely apologize, Lu Miaohuan's puffed-up cheeks deflated, she pouted, let out a cold snort, and then walked away with her high heels, exuding an air of cold elegance.

Lu Changsheng saw this scene and was speechless.

Why is this Miss behaving like a child?

Although the young lady seemed aloof, she had a high emotional intelligence and knew how to handle herself in social situations.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head.

He also felt that he didn't need to argue with this Miss. When it was time to admit his mistake, he should just admit it.

Just treat it like appeasing a little girl, and that would be enough.

"Master, it seems like this Miss has a crush on you."

The maid Xiaoqing said with a smile as she watched the two of them bickering.

"Nonsense." Lu Changsheng flicked his finger against Xiaoqing's forehead.

"It's obvious."

The maid knew her master's temperament, so she covered her forehead that was flicked and pouted.

Lu Changsheng chuckled and thought that this Miss's behavior was somewhat like a child trying to attract someone's attention through certain actions.

He didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, if this Miss really had feelings for him and wanted to marry him, he couldn't handle it and didn't have the energy to appease her.

Returning to the courtyard, after settling Xiaoqing, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of a problem.

If he had more wives, concubines, and maidservants, would he need to consider renting a house in the market?

After all, this small courtyard was only about a hundred square meters, and it was indeed a bit small.

And if there were more wives, concubines, and maidservants, it wouldn't be convenient to live together in this large courtyard.

But for now, there were only three people, so Lu Changsheng wasn't in a hurry.

If he planned to have more, he would consider renting a house in Jiulong Market.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changsheng spent his days practicing cultivation, making talismans, and going to work.

Occasionally, he would go out with the maid and maidservant to stroll around, and sometimes he would invite the young lady to have a meal together. Life was peaceful and leisurely.

On this day, Lu Miaocheng came to find Lu Changsheng again.

Lu Changsheng thought she came to repay the money.

But unexpectedly, she came to borrow money again.

There's a saying that goes, "If you borrow and repay, borrowing again is not difficult, but if you're in a hurry, you won't lend."

For someone like Lu Miaocheng who didn't repay the first time and borrowed money again without any unexpected circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally couldn't lend her any more.

He directly stated that he didn't have any money.

Not only did he say he didn't have money, he even pretended to be poor and asked when Lu Miaocheng would return the spiritual stones.

Under Lu Changsheng's act, Lu Miaocheng could only leave disappointed.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Lu Changsheng's income, with so many wives, concubines, and children, he really didn't have much money on him.

"He came to borrow money from you? You should have less contact with such people. But the two of you do seem to have similar tastes, no wonder he came to borrow money from you."

Lu Miaohuan passed by at this moment, saw Lu Miaocheng leaving, guessed what happened, and immediately sneered.

"Why do we have similar tastes?"

"I, at least, have five wives, six concubines, two favored concubines, and three maidservants. Do I need to go to such places?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaohuan's appearance and sneered disdainfully.

After speaking, he left directly.

Lu Miaohuan heard Lu Changsheng's words and saw his departing figure, not knowing why, her anger surged up again, making her very unhappy.

It was night.

Afterwards!

Shao Yuyao and Xiao Qing lazily snuggled in Lu Changsheng's arms.

"Master, I think I'm pregnant."

At this moment, Shao Yuyao whispered.

"Pregnant?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng became excited.

There is a saying that a lonely yin cannot give birth, and a lonely yang cannot grow. These days, he would harmonize with Shao Yuyao every night.

Now that they have been harmonizing for so long, it is normal for her to become pregnant.

Immediately, he leaned his head against Shao Yuyao's belly.

He could faintly feel a weak life force nurturing inside.

"Good, good, good!"

Lu Changsheng cheered in succession, his face full of joy as he asked, "When did you realize it?"

Shao Yuyao is also a cultivator, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage 2. It is normal for her to feel her own pregnancy.

"Just a couple of days ago, but I wasn't sure at the time. I only confirmed it today."

Shao Yuyao whispered.

She also knew that this young master of hers really liked children.

"Okay, from now on, take good care of yourself and pay attention to your health."

"For your diet, just tell me directly."

Lu Changsheng said.

Since the other party is pregnant and has become the mother of his child, her status in his heart will naturally rise.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing's eyes filled with a watery charm as she looked at Lu Changsheng and said in a sweet voice, "Master, I also want to have your child!"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and swayed back and forth, as if she wanted to activate herself for another round.

"Hiss—"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, let's have a child!"

In another two months, Lu Miaoyun's child will also be born, and Xiao Qing is also about to become pregnant.

Immediately, he turned over and worked hard for the path of immortality!

The next day.

Lu Changsheng went to work with Lu Miaoge, realizing that Shao Yuyao was pregnant, and now he only had Xiao Qing by his side.

Before, he was concerned about Lu Miaoyun's pregnancy, so he didn't let Xiao Qing get pregnant.

Now, if he doesn't worry about this, it is estimated that with daily harmonization, Xiao Qing will also be able to get pregnant soon.

"Or should we go to Baiyu Tower to buy some maidservants?"

"Now that Yuyao is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her, if Xiao Qing also gets pregnant, she will also need someone to take care of her."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He didn't actually intend to buy maidservants, but he wanted them to have spiritual roots.

After all, he wanted to prioritize good breeding, but only to the extent that it was possible under the circumstances.

At present, he clearly does not have the conditions for that.

"However, the immediate priority is to earn some spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng shook his head lightly.

The spirit stones he earned before, buying magical tools, talismans, and spiritual ink, coupled with the expenses during this period, he has almost spent all the spirit stones he had.

So, even if he wants to buy ordinary maidservants without spiritual roots, it would be difficult for him to afford it.

Because if he wants to buy maidservants, he naturally can't just buy one or two, he needs to buy several at once.

And if there are too many maidservants, he will have to prioritize finding a place to rent.

"Ah, money is needed everywhere."

"If I didn't have the ability to make talismans, these years, with so many talismans stored on me, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate immortality."

Lu Changsheng sighed, deeply feeling the difficulty of cultivating immortality.

If he is already like this, then it must be even more difficult for other ordinary cultivators to even think about it.

Immediately, after saying goodbye to Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng went out and, using disguise, went to several spiritual talisman shops to sell nearly two hundred talismans.

This time, he was even more careful when selling talismans, and he didn't go to the shops where he had sold talismans before, so as not to attract the attention of someone with ill intentions.

"Phew, this is not a long-term solution."

"After a few more times, I will have visited all the spiritual talisman shops in Jiulongfang Market. I might be targeted by someone with ill intentions."

Inside the inn, Lu Changsheng checked his situation with a purification talisman, making sure he wasn't being watched, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Lujia Spiritual Talisman Shop purchases talismans from outside every month. In a few more months, Miss will not be here every day, and by then, I will be fully responsible for the shop."

"By then, I can also consider selling the talismans I have on me through the Lujia Spiritual Talisman Shop, without having to run around like this, worrying about being watched."

Lu Changsheng's eyes flickered.

He had thought before whether he could sell the talismans on his body through the Lu Family's Talisman Shop.

And after more than a month of investigation, he became more and more convinced that it was feasible.

He only needed to fake a supplier and ensure that the goods provided were fine.

As long as he was fully in charge of the shop, this matter would be simple to carry out.

That night, Lu Changsheng also had Xiaoying find out about the housing prices and rental situation in Jiulongfang Market, preparing to rent a four to five hundred square meter house.

As for the location of the house, he had Xiaoying look in the east and north districts, and not go to the west district.

The west district was a gathering place for scattered cultivators, not only far away, but also filled with all sorts of people, and there might be unexpected dangers.

So he didn't mind spending a little more money.

Although the north district was a commercial and entertainment area, it also had many houses for rent.

It's just that the cost-effectiveness was relatively low.

Considering the north district, the main idea was to be as close to the Talisman Shop as possible, for convenience.

This way, he would save himself from wasting time commuting every day, and it would also be easier to explain to the Lu Family.

Two days later, Xiaoying let Lu Changsheng choose from several houses she had found.

Looking at the conditions and prices of these houses, Lu Changsheng also gained an understanding of the housing prices in Jiulongfang Market.

In the east district, a four to five hundred square meter house, depending on the lease term, location, and environment, the price ranged from sixty to one hundred spirit stones.

While the houses in the north district were relatively cheaper, the annual rent was roughly between thirty to eighty spirit stones.

After inspecting the houses Xiaoying had selected, Lu Changsheng made a decision on the spot.

He chose a house in the north district, not far from the Talisman Shop.

It was about a fifteen-minute walk away.

This house was around four hundred square meters, and the minimum lease term was five years.

The annual rent was fifty spirit stones, payable annually, and a one-year deposit was required.

After finalizing the decision to rent the house, Lu Changsheng mentioned it to Lu Miaoge and informed the second elder that night.

After all, it wouldn't look good if he just moved out without saying anything while he was living well here.

And he had already thought of a reason for it.

I am preparing to bring several wives and concubines to the market to stay for a while. It's a bit cramped here and not very convenient.

And I don't want to walk back and forth every day, so I plan to rent a house near the Lingfu Shop. It will be more convenient in general.

When the second elder heard this, he was originally going to suggest that Lu Changsheng change to a bigger courtyard.

But Lu Changsheng insisted, so the second elder didn't say much.

He could only ask briefly if Lu Changsheng had rented a house and if he had found a suitable one. He could have someone help him look.

Lu Changsheng said he hadn't rented one yet, but he had already looked at a few places and had a few favorites. He showed the houses he had chosen to the second elder.

After the second elder finished looking, he didn't see any problems. He just gave a few suggestions and asked Lu Changsheng to come by more often.

The next day, Lu Changsheng went to the housing management center set up by the Qingyun Sect and paid one hundred spirit stones. He signed the lease contract.

During the lease period, he had the right to enter and reside in the market without having to pay the entrance fee or obtain an identity card.

Moreover, depending on the size of the house, he also had three additional free living spots.

With such a large house, only three free living spots were given, which made Lu Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at their stinginess.

What made him feel even more cheated was that the long-term identity cards he had previously obtained for himself and Xiaoqing couldn't be refunded.

After completing the house rental, Lu Changsheng went to the Baiyu Tower again to buy maidservants.

What he didn't expect was that even the ordinary maidservants at the Baiyu Tower were so expensive.

Even if they didn't have spiritual roots, they still cost several spirit stones, and the expensive ones even cost tens or hundreds of spirit stones.

Under Feng Jiuniang's explanation, he also understood why ordinary maidservants were so expensive.

One reason was the reputation and brand of the Baiyu Tower, which guaranteed the maidservants' appearance, figure, and loyalty.

In addition, these maidservants were trained by the Baiyu Tower and not only knew music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but also the pleasures of the boudoir.

They were also proficient in martial arts and even practiced martial arts techniques, which had the effect of cultivating their essence and strengthening their foundation.

Maidservants without spiritual roots had more options. It could be said that as long as one had money, they could get maidservants with any appearance, figure, personality, or special skills from the Baiyu Tower.

Among them, Lu Changsheng also saw exotic women like Jiu'er and Shui'er, as well as women from the demon race.

However, most of these demon women had some demon bloodline and the Baiyu Tower activated their demon bloodline through some means, resulting in their demon features.

These maidservants were only suitable as concubines and generally did not have the ability to bear children, which made Lu Changsheng somewhat regretful.

In the end, Lu Changsheng spent one hundred and sixteen spirit stones to purchase nine maidservants with different characteristics.

Two of them were in stock, and the rest had to be delivered later.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng settled the two maidservants in the house he had just rented and that day, he moved in lightly with Shaoyu Yao, Xiaoqing, and their luggage.
