Chapter 382: Chapter 381: True Monarch Ziyun (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Under the guidance of the female cultivator, they arrived at the Reception Hall.
This tall building appeared elegant and simple, without unnecessary adornments, very low-key and quiet.
Upon entering, and under the guidance of the female cultivator, they entered a private room.
As they entered, a female cultivator stood up, dressed in a purple gown, with her hair styled in a flying fish bun, her eyebrows long like sharp swords, her figure tall and imposing; she was precisely Ziyun True Monarch.
Yet this Nascent Soul female cultivator respectfully said, "Greetings, Father!"
"Father, I cannot accept that?"
Lu Xuanji immediately laughed and said, "My child, where is Lu Xian?"
"Father, please wait a moment!"
Ziyun True Monarch opened the door beside her, and soon a man came out, it was the good son Lu Xian.
"My child is excellent, my child has made progress!"
Lu Xuanji laughed and said, "A woman older by three, holds the gold; a woman older by thirty, gives the kingdom; a woman older by three hundred, gifts the immortal pill. If I’d known you were so happy here, I wouldn’t have hurried my journey, rushing over the long distance, to come here. Son, you’re truly impressive!"
"Child has sinned, sorry Father!"
Lu Xian directly admitted his guilt.
"Xian’er, stand up! Tell me, what’s going on with you two!" Lu Xuanji laughed and said.
Lu Xian stood up, looking at Ziyun True Monarch with a somewhat complicated expression, said, "Ziyun, I’d like to talk to my father privately, please excuse us for a moment!"
"Alright, I’ll wait for you!"
Ziyun True Monarch said, her eyes showing tenderness, disappearing from sight.
At this point, Lu Xian finally took a breath of relief, sat down in the chair, held up the teapot and poured himself some tea, gulping it down, as if only this could ease the anxiety and unease in his heart.
"Tell me, what exactly is the matter between you and this Ziyun True Monarch?" Lu Xuanji said: "A Nascent Soul female True Monarch has taken a liking to you, this is a stroke of luck, but also a big trouble. I don’t think your looks are unparalleled to directly enchant her, so speak up!"
Between a man and a woman, there is little romance under the moon.
In many cases, there are only two reasons, one is attraction by appearance, the other is a union of interests.
Lu Xian said: "Father, I don’t know how to say it?"
"Speak everything as it is, don’t embellish it, show the real side!" Lu Xuanji said: "My son, if you can cultivate immortality and seek eternal life, it’s naturally good. But if your aptitude is slightly lacking, I can arrange for you to marry, take concubines, and continue the lineage!"
"But I don’t allow my son to be morally corrupt. One must adhere to some moral baseline; at least this way, they can live without conscience and live comfortably. Son, speak up!"
Lu Xian said: "Father, when I left the Lu Family, and Purple Sun Mountain, I traveled to the East Sea and encountered many loose cultivators who tried to rob me. I killed many loose cultivators and was also pursued several times. Fortunately, with the treasures Father left behind, I was able to escape safely!"
"Later, when entering a secret realm of the Divine Water Palace for training, while I was gathering spirit medicine, a woman fell from the sky in front of me. When I approached to check, I discovered the woman had a flushed face, seemingly under the influence of some drug, in a state of unconsciousness."
"When I wanted to approach and wake her, she suddenly pounced on me with her flushed face, and then what shouldn’t have happened... just happened..."
Speaking of this, Lu Xian’s expression showed no joy, but rather a trace of sorrow.
Listening, Lu Xuanji thought to himself that this was the main character treatment, with beauties falling from the sky, and his curiosity bubbling over, he directly asked: "And then what?"
"When she woke up, the woman changed expressions several times, and finally disappeared!" Lu Xian said: "If things ended like that, then it would’ve been fine. It was just a fleeting affair, but soon after, the woman found me, took me directly to Divine Water Palace, and wanted me to marry into Divine Water Palace!"
"How could I agree? I, Lu Xian, am destined to become immortal in the future; I am very indifferent to love and cannot be bound by a Dao companion so early. Moreover, I, Lu Xian, stand upright and tall, only to take a wife, how could I become a son-in-law!"
"Interesting!"
Lu Xuanji laughed and said, "Very well, then I’ll see what plans this Ziyun True Monarch has."
...
A moment later, Ziyun True Monarch appeared, only to see Lu Xian obediently standing behind his father, looking like a well-behaved son.
"Father, our relationship was partly accidental. But since a relationship occurred, I entrust my chastity to Xian’er." Ziyun True Monarch said: "I ask for nothing else, only that Father fulfills us."
"First, why are you with Xian’er? Xian’er is merely a Golden Core cultivator, nowhere near worthy of you!" Lu Xuanji said, "Find a reason that convinces me? Don’t use those empty words, lies, and the like?"
Ziyun True Monarch said: "Could you have Xian’er step aside for a moment?"
"Alright!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and said.
Lu Xian nodded too, and turned to leave temporarily.
Ziyun True Monarch watched Lu Xian leave, her expression becoming much more relaxed, and spoke: "Daoist friend, there are some things I do not wish to say in Xian’er’s presence. However, since you wish to ask, I will speak a little. I possess the Myriad Water Treasure Body, and with Xian’er’s Pure Yang Dao Body, we complement each other. If we cultivate together, the speed will be very fast!"
"For the path of the future, joining together benefits me, and also benefits him."
"What else?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"Besides..." Ziyun True Monarch hesitated for a moment, but eventually said: "Recently, the Eastern Sea Dragon Race proposed marriage to Divine Water Palace, wanting to take me as a wife. The East Sea Dragon Palace and Divine Water Palace have good relations, so I couldn’t refuse; I could only stay with Xian’er to reject the Dragon Race’s proposal."
Lu Xuanji nodded.
Son, there’s a possibility you’re a shield.
"I can agree to your marriage with Xian’er, but Xian’er cannot marry into the family, I don’t want my son to become a son-in-law!" Lu Xuanji laughed and said.
Ziyun True Monarch said, "I am a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the sect painstakingly cultivated me, and would not allow me to marry out? My Dao companion can only be a son-in-law. Even if I agree to marry Xian’er, the elders of Divine Water Palace would not agree."
"Then there’s no point in talking!"
Lu Xuanji stood up and said: "A Nascent Soul True Monarch, high and mighty, my boy can’t measure up. Dao friend, you should consider someone else!"
"Dao friend, you cannot leave!"
Ziyun True Monarch intercepted at the door, her words cold.
"Not calling me father anymore, just calling me a Dao friend!" Lu Xuanji laughed: "Now not even married, and the Dao friend is like this, if you were married, wouldn’t she be tyrannizing us and our family. Let’s part on good terms!"
As he spoke, a terrifying aura of pressure came.
Though only at Golden Core Peak, it was not a bit inferior to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
With the collision of qi, Ziyun True Monarch retreated three steps, her face slightly pale, but she still said: "Father, stay, I have something important here!"
"Oh really?"
Lu Xuanji stopped and said: "Dao friend, speak! I hope you won’t hide anything!"
