Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 68: A Family with Two Beauties

"Fortunately, the storage bag is still here!"

After collecting Luo Lie's severed body and erasing the main figures of the Luo family, Xu Mu slapped a flying escape talisman on himself and chased after the upper half of Luo Lie's body.

With his powerful spiritual perception, after chasing for hundreds of miles, he finally caught up with Luo Lie's remains.

However, at this moment, he had already turned into a pile of mud.

Many wild beasts were feasting on him!

Obviously, with only half of his body left and losing the storage bag, he had no flying ability. After the escape light disappeared, he fell straight down from the sky.

"What an unlucky guy!"

Xu Mu sighed and took out dozens of spirit-expelling talismans.

These were third-grade talismans specifically used to kill soul bodies.

As the talismans burned, an invisible spiritual fluctuation spread rapidly in all directions.

"Ah! You bastard!"

A soul body of a lone-horned green python emerged from a nearby tree, its face twisted in a fierce roar, and it even spoke human words.

It stared at Xu Mu with resentment in its green vertical pupils.

"Since we're starting, I definitely need to investigate first! Your Luo family's Deer Spirit Technique greatly enhances soul bodies. If it merges with its own beast soul, it can even survive for a long time!"

Xu Mu took out dozens of spirit-expelling talismans again and chuckled, "How could I leave behind such a hidden danger? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too greedy and staying beside your own corpse, unwilling to leave!"

Of course, Luo Lie couldn't be entirely blamed either!

As he now only had a soul left, it was difficult for him to exist for a long time without the nourishment of a physical body's blood and qi.

He originally thought the other party wouldn't chase after him, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cautious. Not only did they chase after him, but they also brought so many spirit-expelling talismans.

Clearly, they were well-prepared!

"Who are you exactly? What grudge does my Luo family have with you that you want to exterminate us like this?"

Luo Lie roared in anger.

"If we're talking about grudges, it's not that big. It's mainly because your grandson's subordinates demanded ten low-grade spirit stones from me!"

That's right, everything started with ten low-grade spirit stones.

If it wasn't for Jia An, who extorted ten low-grade spirit stones from him in the name of Luo Xu, causing him to develop murderous intent, perhaps none of this would have happened.

"Ten low-grade spirit stones?!"

Luo Lie didn't have time to sort out the twists and turns in this matter. Under the effect of the spirit-expelling talisman, his soul body rapidly dissipated like spring snow.

Without a body, the soul was like a rootless duckweed.

The beast soul had also been shattered several times and was already weak.

So his soul didn't last long, dissipating completely in the world with full resentment and unwillingness.

Afterward, Xu Mu burned Luo Lie's body to ashes, which scattered all over the sky with the falling snow.

...

[Achievement Obtained: A Family with Two Beauties!]

[A Family with Two Beauties: Increases Luck value by 20 points every day!]

[Luck Value: Can be used to improve skill proficiency, but cannot directly improve cultivation!]

Xu Mu, who was riding on a flying boat heading towards Liyang City, suddenly heard the voice of the system in his mind.

"Yingying has given birth! It's a daughter!"

A smile appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, he couldn't be by his wife's side.

"This time when I go back, I must make it up to Yingying!"

With an excited mood, Xu Mu arrived in Liyang City two days later and hurried home.

Snowflakes filled the air outside, while warmth filled the room.

A small charcoal fire was placed in the center of the room, and the phoenix feather rice in the sand pot was emitting a fragrant aroma.

Yingying's black hair scattered as she sat leaning against the bed, a hint of paleness on her round face.

"Yinger, you've suffered!"

Xu Mu touched his wife's cheek, his expression tinged with a hint of guilt.

He had indeed been negligent for not being there when the child was born.

"For my husband, Yinger is willing to do anything, but..." Yingying's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment, "but I couldn't give birth to a son for my husband!"

Xu Mu grabbed Yingying's hand and laughed, "What's there to blame yourself for? I actually hope you can give me a hundred daughters!"

"Hmph! I don't want that. I want to give you a son!" Yingying pouted.

No matter how outstanding a daughter was, she would eventually get married. Only a boy could inherit the family business and carry on the family's glory.

Cold Moon, who was standing at the door, watched the two of them affectionately. A hint of jealousy couldn't help but appear in her clear eyes.

"I wonder if I will have a boy or a girl?"

She touched her swollen belly, silently pondering.

Originally, Lan Shijin strongly opposed her having a child, fearing it would hinder her cultivation.

Cultivators make the most progress when they are young. Once they pass that age, it becomes extremely difficult to make any further advancements.

Leng Yuening was only in her twenties, the prime time for advancing her cultivation. Having a child not only delayed her cultivation, but also depleted her vital energy.

One wrong step could lead to a series of mistakes, potentially burying her hopes of reaching the Foundation Building stage in the future.

But Leng Yuening insisted, and Lan Shijin had no choice.

Fortunately, Xu Mu was never stingy with his wife. He never stopped providing her with various pills and precious treasures. Whatever was good to buy, whatever was good to eat.

Leng Yuening's cultivation not only did not decline as expected, but instead improved significantly. It wouldn't be long before she broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, a progress even faster than Lan Shijin had anticipated.

This also made her develop a favorable impression of Xu Mu. That's why she had the subsequent lesson, to satisfy him and prevent him from going to the Land of Fireworks, even enduring the pain of letting Xu Mu open his eyes.

At this moment, Lan Shijin sat at the end of the bed, holding the newborn baby in her arms.

Looking at the expressions of the two, there was envy mixed with a hint of complexity.

Perhaps next time, she could stay inside!

No, it's not possible!

I can't let Ninger know. I can't make the same mistake again!

Lan Shijin quickly dispelled her absurd thoughts.

Let it forever be a secret between the two of them!

"Aunt Lan, let me hold my little sister!"

Xiaoling stood on top of Bai Lang's head, her little feet bare, holding onto Lan Shijin's arm and pouting, pleading bitterly.

"No!"

Lan Shijin's attitude was firm.

"She's too small. What if something happens?"

"I will be very, very careful!"

Xiaoling refused to give up, shaking Lan Shijin's arm desperately.

On the other side, Ye Yingying spoke up, "Husband, I've given our daughter a name, Xu Yin. Is that okay?"

Ye Yingying felt a little embarrassed.

She probably felt that she didn't consult Xu Mu's opinion before giving their daughter a name, which was a bit overstepping.

"Xu Yin? Xu Ling? Lingyin! Good! Good name!" Xu Mu smiled and said, "Ying'er, you're really clever! I thought of many names, but none of them sound as nice as yours!"

He had thought of names like Xu Zhisui/Zhisui, Xu Shangqi/Qi, which could be used for both boys and girls and sounded good, but they were not as simple and easy to pronounce as this name.

When it comes to names, it's better to keep them simple!

Seeing that Xu Mu wasn't angry, Ye Yingying quietly breathed a sigh of relief and a smile bloomed on her face. "As long as you like it, I was afraid you wouldn't be satisfied!"

"Satisfied? How could I not be satisfied? As long as you choose it, I'm satisfied!" Xu Mu smiled.

"No, I'm not satisfied!"

Xiaoling suddenly roared like a little tiger.

"What are you not satisfied with, little girl?"

Xu Mu looked at Xiaoling.

"My sister's name sounds better than mine. I want to be called Xu Yin and let her be called Xu Ling!" Xiaoling said loudly.

"No, who said you were born first? If you were born first, then you should be called Xu Ling!" Xu Mu teased her.

Xiaoling's big eyes rolled around, her small face pretending to be angry. "If you want me to be called Xu Ling, that's fine. But you have to let me hold my sister for a while!"

"..." Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.

You're planning so far ahead, we're almost at the market in Baihe Town.

Time passed quickly, and Xu Mu enjoyed a few days of family happiness.

Early in the morning!

"Ninger, it's time!"

Xu Mu took a deep breath, but Leng Yuening refused to look up.

Seeing Leng Yuening like this, he could only release his breath helplessly.

After resting for a while, when Leng Yuening fell asleep, Xu Mu patted himself with a clean talisman, put on his Daoist robe, and went up to the attic.

Outside the window, there was a thin mist, and the world was still shrouded in a haze.

Xu Mu took out the spoils from the trip to Cuiling and began to examine them one by one.

There are more names suggested by everyone later on, so there's no need to complicate things. Thank you, thank you!
