Chapter 1 The Silence

The main hall fell into dead silence.

No one had expected Lu Changsheng to say such things.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

In reality, they only spoke rashly because Lu Changsheng was so handsome, a little green, and most importantly, they hadn't seen a man in a long time.

But they didn't expect Lu Changsheng to pick up on their rhythm, so they really didn't know how to respond.

Looking at the quiet hall,

Lu Changsheng sneered inwardly.

Say it, keep saying it.

Don't you like to talk big?

Keep talking!

If the driver doesn't drive, do you really think I, Lu, am a pure young man? For you to tease as you please?

In an instant, Lu Changsheng's mood was inexplicably happy for some reason.

But soon, looking at the quiet crowd, Lu Changsheng felt a little sad for some reason.

So... they were really just talking big.

What a waste of anticipation.

A strange sadness.

"Changsheng, Nephew-Disciple, how about this? After my birthday celebration is over, stay here for another three days. After three days, I'll have Yunrou stay by your side. Whenever you return to the Da Luo Holy Land, Yunrou can return as well. What do you think?"

Linglong Holy Maiden said slowly.

"Ah? Take Yunrou, Senior Sister?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised. Was this a daughter being offered?

"That's right. My disciple is a peerless beauty. Aren't you happy to have her by your side? Although she can't do laundry or cook, the journey is long, and the nights are even longer. If you have Yunrou by your side to chat with you or warm your bed, you won't be at a loss, either."

Linglong Holy Maiden took a sip of wine and said this.

Huh? Chatting I can understand, but warming the bed? Holy Maiden, don't you know that I, Lu Changsheng, am a gentleman?

Lu Changsheng seemed a little silent.

He was mainly used to being alone. He would be happy to have Liu Qingfeng by his side; at least he could tease Liu Qingfeng when he had nothing to do.

But if he were with a woman, to be honest, people would always have moments of loneliness, and a man would always have thirty days a month when he was thinking wildly. What if he really couldn't control himself?

Does the Linglong Holy Land offer maternity leave?

Lu Changsheng didn't really want someone by his side, even if it was a peerless beauty.

In addition, women are trouble, especially such beautiful women. If she were really by his side, he was afraid that he would attract a lot of trouble.

It would be fine if he encountered some hypocritical gentlemen; at least they would be polite at first.

He was just afraid of triggering that bald villain, who would come up arrogantly and then be thrown out by him by the hair.

Uh? Something seems a little off.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't think wildly. He always firmly believed that having a good-looking woman by your side, other than making other men envious, would only bring more trouble.

"I hope the Holy Maiden will think twice. Changsheng can travel alone without feeling lonely. I'm just afraid that bringing Senior Sister Yunrou along will cause her to suffer."

Lu Changsheng calmly refused.

"I'm not afraid of suffering."

However, Qian Yunrou spoke, saying this directly.

"Alright, Changsheng, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, if you really can't control yourself, I won't blame you, but!"

Linglong Holy Maiden paused when she said this.

And Lu Changsheng was a little dazed. That's not what I meant. I just think that bringing Qian Yunrou will cause trouble. Holy Maiden, can you not force yourself to imagine things? And make an expression that you see through everything.

"But, if you get pregnant, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, the child must be from my Linglong Holy Land. As for the surname, you can use yours."

Linglong Holy Maiden said extremely seriously.

Lu Changsheng: "......"

"Yes, yes, the child must be from our Linglong Holy Land."

"It's best to have a boy. All the disciples in our Linglong Holy Land are female. If the Holy Maiden gives birth to a boy, heavens, we will definitely spoil him to death."

"It's good to have a boy, it's good to have a boy. It's best to have twins, two boys are the best."

"Yes, yes, but what if she can't get pregnant?"

"It's okay, if the Holy Maiden can't get pregnant, I can try!"

"Add me to the list."

"Add me too."

"If you all want to, then I can also try."

"To be honest, when I was young, someone told me that I only give birth to boys and not girls, so Changsheng, Junior Brother, you can consider it."

Soon, an unhealthy trend began to blow in the main hall again.

This Linglong Holy Maiden is really a super experienced driver. With just a few words, she can lead the atmosphere astray.

If his realm wasn't too low, he would really have a good talk about life with the Linglong Holy Maiden.

"Let's settle this matter like this. If you think about it carefully, there are still five holy lands to go to. If nothing unexpected happens, you may be able to return to the Da Luo Holy Land in half a year. At that time, it won't be a big problem for Yunrou to come back by herself."

"Only half a year."

Linglong Holy Maiden spoke with an unquestionable tone.

Lu Changsheng wanted to say a few more words, but he glanced at the expression of the Linglong Holy Maiden and at Qian Yunrou's calm and beautiful face.

Uh, after thinking about it for a while, it's not a big problem to bring a Qian Yunrou. At least Qian Yunrou doesn't jump around or cause trouble. It's better than bringing Qian Qiye.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then this junior won't refuse anymore."

"En." Linglong Holy Maiden also nodded, then raised her glass and said, "In a few days, Brightmoon Ancient City will hold a Prodigy Convention. You can also take Qingrou to see the world. After all, she hasn't been out much and hasn't seen much of the world. You must take good care of her, understand?"

Linglong Holy Maiden said this.

"Ah? Prodigy Convention? This junior probably won't go."

Hearing about the Prodigy Convention, Lu Changsheng shook his head directly.

"Not going? Why?"

Linglong Holy Maiden asked curiously.

"Does the Holy Maiden want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Naturally, the truth."

"This junior thinks that this Prodigy Convention is a bit boring. It doesn't have any benefits, and it doesn't help with cultivation. Going there is just a waste of time."

Lu Changsheng told the truth.

What will a group of geniuses do together?

First, they eat and then they drink. After they have had their fill, they see a large group of junior sisters sitting here, so the next thing they want to do is have everyone compete.

If it's a competition of poetry, Lu Changsheng can still scavenge a few poems.

If it's a competition of spells?

Lu Changsheng thinks it's meaningless.

He's not a warmonger. Why fight for no reason?

Image is the most important thing.

"You are quite open-minded. All the talented people in the world, as long as they have some fame, can't wait to participate in the so-called Prodigy Conventions every day, but you regard fame as smoke. Sure enough, you have extraordinary qualities. However, this Prodigy Convention is not just a place to compete for fame. It can indeed allow you to see many things. If you can go, it's best to go."

Linglong Holy Maiden said this. Then she got up, stretched slightly, and was lazy to the extreme, but she seemed to be a little tired. She came to Lu Changsheng.

"Alright, the banquet is over. I'm a little tired. I'll go back first. Changsheng, Nephew-Disciple, enjoy yourself. If you need anything, just tell them."

She said this.

But when she was about to leave,

She gently patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder three times.

Patting on the shoulder?

Three times?

What does it mean?
