After arriving at Heavenly Spider Peak, Nangong Mili, who initially did not want to pay attention to Lu Changsheng, saw him unveil his disguise, and at that moment, his eyes, as deep as the night sky and as flowing as mist-laden water, were filled with an unprecedented brilliance.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was extraordinarily handsome, beyond worldly comparison.
The entire person was like an Immortal descended to the mortal world, with an extraordinary presence and excellence that captivated the heart with just a glance.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s true appearance, Nangong Mili felt a ripple in her heart, and an indescribable joy surged within her.
She realized that Lu Changsheng was very likely to have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, his appearance was still the same as before.
But his entire aura had undergone a dramatic transformation!
Besides a breakthrough from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, a cultivator’s aura rarely experiences such a significant change.
Considering that after twenty years, Lu Changsheng brought his son and disciple to visit her, Nangong Mili suddenly understood that Lu Changsheng was busy with breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
All at once, her long-standing grievance over Lu Changsheng’s lack of visits dissipated like smoke.
After all, what could be more important than breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!
At this moment, she had only one thought.
Has my man broken through to the Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul True Lord?
"Lu Changsheng, have you broken through to the Nascent Soul?"
Nangong Mili’s beautiful eyes shimmered with bright hues, filled with joy and anticipation as she looked at the man before her.
Not only Nangong Mili.
Next to her, Lu Minghuang and Lu Mengchan were also stunned, their faces full of surprise as they looked at their father in amazement.
Usually, Lu Changsheng tried his best to conceal his extraordinary aura and divinity.
So, although his children had always seen his true face, they had never seen his "Enchanting Demon" form.
Even Meng Xiaochan, who had already seen their husband’s "Enchanting Demon" form, couldn’t help but have her beautiful eyes sparkle with a soft, affectionate gaze.
The Lu Changsheng before them was so astonishingly handsome that all things in the world seemed dull and lackluster by comparison.
"Yes, I’ve been delayed by matters relating to the Nascent Soul all these years, which is why I haven’t come to see you sooner."
After years as a couple, Lu Changsheng understood the temperament of the woman Nangong Mili well; gently holding her soft hand, he spoke softly: "I’m sorry."
Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng had truly broken through to the Nascent Soul, Nangong Mili’s heart fluttered, her entire being immersed in a buoyant joy.
"Matters concerning the Nascent Soul are most crucial..."
Her clear and playful voice was now extremely gentle, like that of a virtuous wife awaiting her husband’s return home.
"..." Although Meng Xiaochan hadn’t seen Nangong Mili for years, she was well aware of her master’s temperament.
Only Lu Lang could make her master so gentle and submissive.
Truly, one thing counteracts another.
"..."
Lu Mengchan and Lu Minghuang both had their eyes downcast, unsure whether to look or not look.
Lu Mengchan turned to glance at her brother Lu Minghuang’s handsome face, thinking that if he groomed himself well, broke through Core Formation, and reached Nascent Soul, he would be just as handsome as their father.
But compared to their father, her brother’s appearance, which resembled their master lightly, had a bit of a "bewitching" aspect; if dressed in a gown, it would be hard to distinguish male from female.
"Mili, how have you been all these years?"
Lu Changsheng held Nangong Mili’s jade hand, sat down beside her, and conversed with her with concern.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng, despite breaking through to the Nascent Soul, still showed such care and affection towards her, speaking gently, Nangong Mili was utterly consumed by immense joy.
Especially since he came to the Five Poisons Cult without notifying the Sect Hierarch.
But instead showed concern for her first; Nangong Mili beamed with delight, her heart in full bloom with joy.
If not for Meng Xiaochan, their son Lu Minghuang, and disciple-granddaughter Lu Mengchan still present, she would have longed to express her yearning to Lu Changsheng now, affectionately and passionately.
But looking at her son, disciple, and grand-disciple still watching from the side, Nangong Mili sobered up a little.
Her enchantingly beautiful face revealed a few moments of dignified severity as she turned to ask her son Lu Minghuang about his experiences in recent years.
As for her daughter Nangong Yaoyao, she cherished her deeply, even a bit dotingly, without much sternness.
But towards her son Lu Minghuang, influenced slightly by Lu Changsheng and her views on child education, she maintained the dignity of a mother.
Lu Minghuang immediately adopted a respectful demeanor, recounting his cultivation achievements over the years.
Nangong Mili saw her son’s respectful and serious demeanor, with a hint of righteousness, but still favored her endearing daughter Nangong Yaoyao in her heart.
Especially seeing her son inherit her looks, with such a handsome appearance, yet being taught by Lu Changsheng to delve into Artifact Refining...
Though this cultivation technique was incredibly profound, thinking about her son holed up like a blacksmith, immersed in Artifact Refining all day in the cave mansion made her a bit unhappy.
However, this was Lu Changsheng’s arrangement, and she couldn’t argue against it; she just nodded and occasionally asked a few questions before looking towards Meng Xiaochan and disciple-granddaughter Lu Mengchan.
She had no objections towards her disciple Meng Xiaochan.
But for Lu Mengchan, this gentle and weak disciple-granddaughter, she wasn’t fond of her.
After all, possessing such a top-level talent of the [Calamitous Poison Body] yet developing such a gentle disposition was simply... a waste of natural resources!
Seeing Lu Mengchan with her gentle and obedient manner when questioned, in stark contrast to her daughter’s cleverness and mischievousness, Nangong Mili’s heart longed more for her daughter who had joined the Immortal Lotus Sect.
But knowing Lu Changsheng’s nature, never too demanding on the children, she knew it wouldn’t be appropriate to intervene in their education.
...
"Mili, come with me to see Yina and Little Tang."
