Chapter 20: The Lu Family Sisters

After arriving at their new home, Lu Changsheng took some moving items out of the storage bag and went to his new practice room to begin his cultivation.He wanted to see the difference in cultivation effects between the second-level Spirit Vain here in Qingzhu Valley and the first-level Spirit Vain in Qingzhu Mountain Manor.

A few hours later, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes with a look of joy.

“No wonder it’s a second-level Spirit Vain. The spiritual energy here is several times denser than in Qingzhu Mountain Manor, which has increased my cultivation speed by thirty percent!”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng clearly felt the benefits of the second-level Spirit Vain.

Besides, the thirty percent increase was only because his spiritual energy refining speed was limited.

Otherwise, Lu Changsheng felt that he would be able to further accelerate his cultivation speed.

But with this improvement, he was already very satisfied.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng was filled with a passion to cultivate in the coming days.

Four days later, an administrator named Lu Bo from Qingzhu Valley came to Lu Changsheng’s house.

He brought a golden-haired brush and a hundred pieces of material for making talismans.

He instructed Lu Changsheng to present twenty fireball talismans within a month.

This was one of the agreements between Lu Changsheng and the Lu Family.

The Lu Family would provide the materials, and Lu Changsheng would make the talismans.

Of course, for Lu Changsheng, making twenty fireball talismans in a month was no problem; it was pure profit.

However, this was still part of Lu Changsheng’s training within the Lu Family.

In the future, both the quantity and quality of the talismans would improve.

In the blink of an eye, it had been over a month since Lu Changsheng moved to Qingzhu Valley.

On that day his eighth child was born.

It was a daughter.

When the child was born, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel any stirrings of spiritual roots.

He knew right away that this child didn’t have any spiritual roots.

Even though he knew that the system could detect the child’s spiritual roots, the fact that this child didn’t have any made him feel a little disappointed.

But it was only a little disappointment.

He had become more accepting of the matter of a child’s spiritual roots and could handle it with equanimity.

Looking at the newborn, Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered that today was the last day of the month, and tomorrow would be the beginning of a new month.

And in Qingzhu Valley, there was a small trading event on the first day of every month.

“I’ve never seen such a trading event among cultivators before. It might be interesting to go and see it tomorrow,” Lu Changsheng thought.

Earlier, after he became a talisman master, the Lu Family’s juniors and the Immortal Seedling had sent him some gifts, so he had some money left over.

So, he also wanted to see what this little trade event within the Lu Family was like. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Early the next morning, Lu Changsheng arrived at the trading place in Qingzhu Valley.

The place where the trading event was held was called Zhuxin Lake, and there were pavilions and gazebos built by the lake.

In these pavilions and gazebos, there were members of the Lu family who had placed the items they wanted to trade on stone tables.

Or they had posted signs indicating what items or resources they wanted to buy.

It was unclear if he had arrived too early or if there were just too few people, but there were only about ten people setting up stalls.

The items for sale were just a few scattered items, none of which he needed.

Lu Changsheng felt that it was boring after a walk around and wanted to leave immediately.

As Lu Changsheng walked out of one of the pavilions, he saw two women approaching hand in hand.

He recognised one of them as Eldest Lady Lu Miaoge.

This Eldest Lady was dressed very simply, with her three thousand strands of black hair tied with a moon-white ribbon behind her, giving her an elegant and graceful appearance.

Wearing a simple moon-white elegant long dress without any other accessories, she looked very simple and refined, exuding an ethereal and elegant aura, as if she were a fairy.

Lu Changsheng had never seen the other person before.

But when he saw this woman, he couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.

This woman appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with a beautiful appearance that was about seventy to eighty percent similar to Lu Miaoge.

However, in terms of her makeup, clothing, and demeanour, she was completely different from Lu Miaoge.

Her make-up was very delicate, her head of jet black hair was adorned with a dark golden hair ornament that was pulled up at the back of her head, with a few strands of hair cascading down in front of her chest, and dazzling gemstone earrings hung from her pale earlobes.

She wore a sleek and sexy dark embroidered off-the-shoulder dress that accentuated her graceful curves and left nothing to the imagination.

The skirt on the lower half, like a cheongsam, had high slits on either side, revealing the woman’s voluptuous thighs and jade-like, shapely calves.

However, what surprised Lu Changsheng and made him look twice, apart from the sheer black stockings, were the exquisite high-heeled shoes the woman was wearing.

The slender high heels were probably three to four inches high, enhancing the contour of the woman’s legs to perfection, almost like a row of legs.

Overall, she exuded an aura of cold elegance and seductiveness, towering over Miss Lu Miaoge by half a head.

“What are you staring at? Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out!” The woman in the black dress and high heels spoke in a cold, icy tone, like an icy river.

“Huanhuan,” Lu Miaoge gently tugged at her younger sister.

Then she gave Lu Changsheng an apologetic look.

Lu Changsheng also felt that he had been a bit rude.

Mainly because he hadn’t expected to encounter such a style of dress in this cultivation world.

Moreover…

The woman’s dark gold dress, paired with black stockings and high heels, was indeed eye-catching.

With nobility and cold elegance mixed with seductive allure, he couldn’t help but take another look.

“Greetings, Miss.”

“Allow me to apologise for any past indiscretions, Miss,” Lu Changsheng said with a graceful gesture. 

If it was in the past, he might have felt embarrassed. 

But as a man with several wives and concubines, and several children, he felt no shame in such matters. 

After all, it was natural to indulge in food and pleasure!

When he saw a woman in black stockings for the first time, wasn’t it normal to steal a few glances?

He was a little surprised to deduce from Lu Miaoge’s words and the appearance of the two women that they were sisters.

He hadn’t expected such a difference in temperament and character between the two sisters.

“Lu Changsheng, what brings you here? Are you here to buy something?” Lu Miaoge asked Lu Changsheng in a soft voice.

“I heard from Uncle Fu that there is a small trade fair here on the first of every month, so I thought I’d come and have a look,” Lu Changsheng said.

“The fair won’t be fully set up until noon, so you’ve come a bit early,” Lu Miaoge said quietly.

“I see. But I’m not planning to buy anything, I’m just here to look around. I’ll leave after I’ve seen what’s on offer,” Lu Changsheng nodded, not intending to engage in any further conversation.

It was perfectly normal to be attracted to beauty, but women like Lu Miaoge were not ones he could easily provoke, so it was better to keep his distance.

In such a public place, who knew if a casual conversation with Lu Miaoge would attract the attention of admirers or followers?

Soon, Lu Changsheng bowed politely and took his leave.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s departing figure, the woman in the black dress next to Lu Miaoge showed a hint of disdain on her face. “He’s Lu Changsheng? He really is as notoriously lecherous as rumoured, marrying and taking up to nine concubines, and still so shamelessly lecherous.”

“Huanhuan, you should also pay attention to your clothes. This kind of…” Lu Miaoge spoke quietly.

“Kind of frivolity, right? Sister, a woman should please herself first. I dress for my own satisfaction, not for the eyes of others,” 

When Lu Miaohuan heard her sister’s words, she curled her lips and said indifferently.

…

“It seems I still know too little about this world.”

“Yes, you spent the first eighteen years in the village. Apart from being led to the Blue Cloud Sect, the farthest you’ve been is the county town.”

“Now that you’re in the Lu family, you haven’t even taken half a step outside, relying solely on reading to understand everything. How could you know too much?”

“This is a world of cultivation, how can you look at it with such a limited perspective?”

“All those cultivation novels from my past life, weren’t they all about long legs and high heels? So wearing stockings and high heels is perfectly normal.”

Lu Changsheng returned to his residence feeling a bit sentimental.

He didn’t think too much about today’s events.

It was just a small incident in life.

Maybe in the future, he could find out where such stockings and shoes were sold.

No other thoughts, just a simple desire to give his wives some presents.
