Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1750: Chapter 588: Nangong Mili Is Pregnant, A Stroke of Luck!

The hunchbacked elder knew the importance of the matter, stretched out his hands as dry as branches, took over two soul lamps, and then took out a turtle shell of ancient appearance from his chest.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

As his ten fingers performed the gesture incantation, murmuring words, mysterious and obscure patterns began to intertwine and emerge on the surface of the shell, exuding an extremely profound and heavy Qi mechanism.

However, as soon as he began the calculation, the hunchbacked elder felt a formless mist of heavenly secrets obstructing him, finding it difficult to calculate the location of the owners of the soul lamps.

But he knew, since the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master had called him to calculate, there had to be some clues!

"Humph!"

The hunchbacked elder grunted heavily, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

His already old face seemed to have added a few more degrees of withering, strands of white hair falling from his head.

After a long time, he kept coughing up blood, stopped his calculations, and bowed to the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master in front of him, saying, "Sect Master, Elder Murong and the Corpse Grandma are most likely suppressed and imprisoned in a place isolated from heavenly secrets."

"This old man spent his lifespan to only see a blank space, unable to know specific details."

The hunchbacked elder said while coughing blood, his voice filled with bitterness.

During the calculation just now, he lost about ten years of lifespan to obtain the faint information.

If he continued the calculations, wanting to obtain more information, he might not escape death.

Do not be deceived by his appearance of being frail and withered.

In reality, he was only three hundred years old. According to the Nascent Soul Immortal’s lifespan of five hundred, he was still considered in the prime of life.

However, due to years of divination and calculation, despite consuming a multitude of life-extending elixirs and medicines, it was hard for him to live beyond three hundred and fifty years.

"A place isolated from heavenly secrets..."

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master upon hearing this, immediately gazed towards the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect in Jiang Country.

After all, the elder in front was a Third Rank Diviner.

To completely obscure his calculation of heavenly secrets required at least a Fourth Rank treasure, capable of interfering and confusing heavenly mechanisms!

But such treasures, how rare they are.

Besides a few top-level forces, no one else possessed them.

Moreover, Murong Zhuifeng and the Corpse Grandma’s previous task was to ambush the envoy from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Damn it!"

Thinking of the two Core Formation Elders captured by the Heavenly Sword Sect, his face turned ugly.

Then looking at the hunchbacked elder beside him, he bestowed a bottle of elixir medicines, saying, "Elder Ming, you’ve worked hard on this matter, you go back and have a good rest."

"Come!"

After a moment, he instructed someone to go and contact the Heavenly Sword Sect, to see what conditions they would agree to for releasing Murong Zhuifeng and the Corpse Grandma.

Although the virtuous and the demonic sects were irreconcilable, Jin Kingdom and Jiang Country often clashed in secret.

But when capturing the enemy alive, they are generally not killed.

Many times, they are used for exchanging benefits.

After all, every Nascent Soul Cultivator could provide a lot of useful information.

If they could be converted, they would serve a significant role.

If not, during the times of war between the two countries, directly sacrificing the opponent’s Nascent Soul True Man, hanging them on the war city would prove a formidable intimidation.

...

Regarding the misunderstanding of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Lu Changsheng was unaware.

All this time, he had been accompanying Nangong Mili.

The other party had been pregnant for four months.

Judging by past experience, this child definitely wouldn’t be born in ten months.

And calculating the time, it’s been a year since he came to Jin Kingdom.

If counting from the start of his journey, it’s been thirteen months.

Although the emergency sensing talismans given to Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoge, and others hadn’t been activated, being away from home for so long, Lu Changsheng also prepared to return.

Primarily wanting to wait until this child was born, which would take at least half a year, even a year.

Moreover, he couldn’t just grab his child and leave right after birth, could he?

Wouldn’t that be even worse?

"Mili..."

On this day, Lu Changsheng wrapped his arm around Nangong Mili’s waist, expressing his preparations to return, hoping the other would accompany him back to Jiang Country.

"No way!"

The maternal aura flowed through her eyes, making her look softer, but upon hearing his words, Nangong Mili’s face turned cold, and she bluntly refused.

Despite their feelings growing warmer and stronger over these times.

She still wasn’t willing to go to Jiang Country with Lu Changsheng.

After all, after going to Jiang Country, she would not only have to hide her name, be cautious in everything, but also fight with this man’s other women, how was that more comfortable than being the Heavenly Spider Envoy in the Five Poisons Cult?

Moreover, no man is a good thing.

While she was far away in Jin Kingdom, this man at least had some guilt and still thought of her, and... this son.

But going to Jiang Country, who knows if this man might get tired of the old and love the new...

"Sigh."𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Lu Changsheng had long anticipated Nangong Mili’s answer, knowing she wouldn’t possibly go with him to Jiang Country, he just asked that anyway.

"Then you take good care of yourself here, when I have time as your husband, I’ll come to visit you and Minghuang."

Even though the child hadn’t been born yet, the name had already been decided.

Ming, taken from his ’Yangming’ title, also representing light, uprightness, hoping this child would walk the righteous path in the future.

Huang, representing success, glory, and prominence.

Not only bearing high hopes for this child but also wishing he grows up to be upright and honorable.

The reason for such emphasis on integrity and openness is because this child will most likely not be brought back to Bi Lake Mountain but will be left in Jin Kingdom Five Poisons Cult side.

"Humph, no man is a good thing."

Normally, Nangong Mili would thoroughly enjoy Lu Changsheng’s tenderness and sweet talk.

But now that he was leaving, her heart turned sour, losing her good temper.

Knowing he was at fault, Lu Changsheng appeased her kindly.

He indicated he would prepare all future elixirs for nurturing pregnancy and strengthening the child after birth.

"The child has me to raise, no need for your elixirs."
