Chapter 1543: Chapter 1502: Come to Sleep

Listening to Situ Qinghuan’s words, Huo Ling’er blushed immediately, sneaking a glance at Lu Chuan, lightly biting her lip.

“No worries, let’s make our move tonight!”

“Bah! Who wants to make a move with you? I’m here to bring a gift for the baby, move aside!”

Huo Ling’er playfully pushed Lu Chuan away, then opened her palm, and a fiery red feather appeared out of thin air.

“This is a True Feather from my ancestor the Fierce Sun Sparrow, the Immortal Beast Vermilion Bird. It contains a part of the true essence of the Samadhi True Fire. After thinking carefully, I decided this would be a fitting gift.”

“What a top-tier Fire Dao Seed! My stepmother, you’ve gone to great lengths.”

“Go, go, go! I haven’t agreed to anything yet!”

Huo Ling’er impatiently pushed Lu Chuan away, then used a Secret Technique to seal the Fire Feather into Lu Zhenzhen’s body so that when she forms her core in the future, she can use this seed to enhance her Golden Core.

By carefully considering, it turned out her daughter indeed gained a lot today.

Immortal Law, Amulet, a pendant sealed with power, and even a few top-tier Dao Seeds that made Lu Chuan envious just looking at them.

It’s like the treasure Old Master Situ gave was actually a top-tier Earth Element Dao Seed, which made Lu Chuan almost want to temporarily borrow it, since he truly lacked an Earth Element Dao Seed in hand, but as a father, he couldn’t just take his daughter’s things, could he?

That night, Lu Chuan lay at the edge of the bed, looking at his sleeping daughter next to him, he smiled and said, “Unknowingly, another year has almost passed, and our baby has been born.”

“Indeed, I didn’t expect that I would be the first to leave a bloodline for you. Actually, my sisters and I discussed this matter. We all thought Ms. Nanqin would be first since you dote on her the most and always go to her room whenever you have time. Humph, who would have thought I’d beat her to it!”

“You all discussed this?”

“Of course! What did you think we talked about every day? It’s not like we could always talk about cultivation, right? There are many things about you that fall within our discussion range, like how you’ve been behaving lately, whether you’ve been submitting assignments on time, or neglecting someone. We have standards for evaluation! So, I’m telling you if you treat any sister poorly in the future, we won’t forgive you, and you wouldn’t be allowed in the bed. Let’s see how you handle that!”

“Alright, alright, I’ve noted it.”

Lu Chuan’s face flushed with inexplicable shame.

To discuss some other things would have been fine, but to talk about how he’s been acting lately seems a bit…

“Alright, it’s been hard for our daughter to fall asleep, so I should rest too. As for you, go wherever you like. I’m not keeping you here.”

“What? You’re kicking me out so soon?”

“What do you think? I’m not feeling well recently, keeping you here just to look and not touch is meaningless, now go, don’t disturb my rest.”

Ye Jiaxin gave Lu Chuan no chance to speak, directly throwing him out of the room, leaving Lu Chuan no choice but to seek another place.

Looking over the courtyard, every room was dark except for one at the very end. Lu Chuan scratched his head, puzzled, “Wait, who lives in that room?”

Was there someone living in that room a few days ago?

Lu Chuan scratched his head and walked over slowly, gently knocking on the door.

The next moment, the door opened, and Lu Chuan found himself face-to-face with Huo Ling’er, whose face instantly turned a shade of crimson.

“Wh-what are you doing here?”

“To sleep.”

“? Shameless! With so many rooms, why are you coming to my room to sleep?”

“…Then should I leave?”

Lu Chuan blinked, and Huo Ling’er blinked back, then peered outside to ensure no one was watching before pulling Lu Chuan into the room.

“Let me make it clear, I’m not consenting to you staying here. It’s just late, and it wouldn’t look good if someone saw you standing at the door. When I’m done talking, you leave, got it?”

“No problem, so what do you want to say?”

“Lu Chuan, tell me, can the Vermilion Bird Bloodline still be transferred to Xiao Wu?”

“No, I’ve told you before, your body has already adapted to this bloodline. Forcing a transfer would only hurt both of you.”

“…Since leaving that world, Xiao Wu has been quite withdrawn. I asked him why, but he won’t tell me anything. These days, I’ve tried getting him to focus on cultivation, but he seems unmotivated. Do you think he has something troubling him?”

“Probably in love?”

Lu Chuan tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled, “Adolescence naturally comes with budding feelings. I see many girls in your tribe around his age. Maybe he’s taken a liking to one.”

“It shouldn’t… be, right?”

“How do you know it’s not? You’re not inside his head. It’s fine, I’ll ask him about it someday. So, are we done here? Should I leave?”

“You! Wait…”

“Is there something else?”

Facing Lu Chuan’s gaze, Huo Ling’er turned her head slightly, her eyes flashing with a bit of shyness.

“You have so many wives; are they all okay with each other’s existence?”

“Of course, haven’t you seen how well they get along?”

“Then… will they accept me, considering I’m from the Demon Tribe?”

“Don’t worry. I even have two wives who are nine-tailed fox demons, and there hasn’t been any issue.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling’er nodded slightly, then pointed to the door, smiling, “Alright, I’ve said everything. Now you can get lost.”

Lu Chuan: “?”

Before Lu Chuan could react, Huo Ling’er shoved him out of the room and locked the door.

“Wait, you just asked, and there’s no follow-up?”

“What else do you want? I’m done with you, I’m going to rest!”

Huo Ling’er casually waved, turning off the lights and ignoring how Lu Chuan knocked on the door.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan touched his nose and turned away.

It’s understandable though; after all, he and Huo Ling’er haven’t spent much time together. Although they have a slight fondness for each other, it’s not anywhere near the level of closeness. With no better option, Lu Chuan spent the night in the grand hall.

…

The next day, at the Sky-reaching Giant Tower.

Empress Wu Zong lowered her eyes, looking at the nine-tailed fox tightly confined by the Demon-locking Array, and sneered, “This truly surprises me, that the Tower Spirit actually allowed you freedom?”

“Empress Wu Zong, you have imprisoned me for over a thousand years! What more do you want?”

Yun Yan roared to the sky, her blood-red eyes glaring at Empress Wu Zong.

No matter what, she never anticipated that the Tower Spirit and Lu Chuan wouldn’t stop her from leaving, only for Empress Wu Zong to unexpectedly step in, suppressing and bringing her back to the Sky-reaching Giant Tower!

“Naturally, I need you to assist me, and it’s time I reclaim my shattered tower body. Don’t worry, as long as you help me deal with the Tower Spirit and Lu Chuan, I will grant you freedom.”
