Penglai Island, Goddess Cliff, after the peak.
The cliffs surrounded by mist appear like a piece of pure land from the Immortal World fallen into the mortal realm.
Shen Yiren, with bright eyes and rosy lips, smiled brightly as she strolled with Lu Changsheng, the two chatting and laughing.
Her slender figure wrapped in a green dress swayed gracefully, like grass in the spring, young willow branches swaying in the wind, fresh and elegant, full of life and spirit.
"Speaking of it, I’ve never heard about what Daoist Xuanmu seeks, where his Dao Heart points."
At this ti, the beautiful lady looked at the elegant man, her rosy lips slightly parted, and asked.
"For us cultivators, what we seek is nothing but transcending heaven and earth, finding our true selves, and the immortal path ever-green."
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were warm, speaking with a smile.
After speaking, seeing the lady’s poetic and picturesque profile, both coy and smiling, her beautiful eyes shifting, he montarily lost himself in a daze.
Shen Yiren keenly perceived the peculiar look in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, her heart paused slightly, then she looked towards the sea of clouds and softly said: "What you say, Daoist, is certainly true, but in the Cultivation World for thousands of years, who has managed to transcend heaven and earth, achieving the immortal path ever-green."
"Indeed, what immortal path ever-green is there."
"Even with unparalleled talent, surpassing all, and breaking through to Nascent Soul, a thousand years later, one will still turn into a pile of yellow earth."
Lu Changsheng sighed lightly, then suddenly looked at Shen Yiren, saying: "To be frank with Daoist Shen, actually, I am like most cultivators, thinking of starting a family, building a clan, and raising children."
"Oh?"
Shen Yiren was sowhat surprised.
In her view, only cultivators with no hope of ascending would choose such a path.
"Daoist Shen should know, I co from a family of clan cultivators."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, saying: "As clan cultivators, from a young age, we are influenced by the idea of starting a family, marrying, and having children."
"However, the Cultivation World is ever-changing, even as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is barely enough to stand firm, any slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation, so how dare to marry and have children, allowing complacency to grow."
"Therefore, I once vowed that if I achieve the Nascent Soul stage, I would seek a female cultivator with mutual affection, marry, have children, continue the lineage, and nurture descendants."
Lu Changsheng understood this Third Palace Master’s nature.
Trying to develop mutual affection over ti and cause a mutual attraction would take an indefinite amount of ti.
And since I am preparing for the catastrophe to disperse, then return to Jiang Country, I do not have much ti to bond intimately with this Third Palace Master.
It is better to express so feelings now.
During the conversation, Lu Changsheng’s eyes fixedly looked at Shen Yiren.
"I didn’t expect Daoist Xuanmu also had such thoughts."
Shen Yiren’s personality was simple, but not naive about worldly matters, naturally understanding the aning in Lu Changsheng’s words and gaze, she said with feigned calmness.
"Third Palace Master, you are truly beautiful."
Lu Changsheng saw the latter not responding to the topic and continued: "In this situation, I can’t help but feel like reciting poetry and composing prose, but rack my brains, even though I want to think hard, I couldn’t express it, so I could only use such a phrase to complint."
"Daoist Xuanmu, why are you speaking these kind of words today..."
Shen Yiren hadn’t expected that Lu Changsheng, who had always been gentle and elegant, would suddenly be so direct, she softly bit her red lips and murmured.
And instinctively raised her hand to manage the black silky hair by her ear to relieve the awkwardness.
"I saw Jing Qing Elder fail to break through to Nascent Soul, it actually wasn’t as carefree and natural as the Third Palace Master perceived."
Lu Changsheng sighed lightly, and with complex eyes said: "Although I have the luck blessed upon , compared to Jing Qing Elder who as the core disciple of the Goddess Palace was well prepared and resource-rich, absolutely not inferior, perhaps even superior..."
"So, deep down, I am quite apprehensive as well."
Lu Changsheng looked complexly toward the sea of clouds, murmuring softly.
Hearing this, Shen Yiren felt a pang of softness in her heart, fully understanding his mindset.
Looking at Lu Changsheng, she gently said: "With Daoist Xuanmu’s talents, you will certainly be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul."
"Thank you for your auspicious words, Third Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng gave a soft laugh, then looked brightly at Shen Yiren, saying: "Third Palace Master, may I call you Yiren today..."
Shen Yiren slightly bit her rosy lips, hesitated for a mont, then softly replied "Hmm" in a warm and gentle voice.
But thinking that only her sister and a few close people called her this, Shen Yiren said softly again: "Daoist Xuanmu can address like this in private, but in front of my sister, or others, please be mindful."
"Alright, Yiren."
Lu Changsheng laughed lightly, feeling a great relief as he gestured a please, and the two continued to stroll amidst the clouds.
anwhile, at Divine Maiden Peak, Bailu Palace.
Shen Baishuang looked at the man and woman in the mirror, thinking that this Xuanmu Taoist is not as she had assud, unaware of matters between n and won.
Even though she wasn’t able to overhear their words.
But through their appropriately asured laughter, her sister’s coy smiles and frowns, and even the faint blush on her fair cheeks, she knew that their progress was smoother than she had anticipated.
As long as things continue this way, with more interactions, their future together is practically certain.
"Hmph, acting like proper gentlen and proper ladies in normal tis, all faking being proper!"
Shen Baishuang looked at the two in the mirror, snorted coolly, lightly flicked her jade hand, Nascent Soul magic power swirling, closing the screen.
If it weren’t for the sake of the Goddess Palace, as the dignified Second Palace Master, she wouldn’t be willing to do these sneaky
things.
However, after waiting for a while, she reopened the mirror again, unable to resist further peeking, wanting to hear the words they exchanged.
But both were at the Peak of Core Formation cultivators, and if she probed further, it would easily alert them to her spying.
...
The hasty cannot eat hot tofu.
After advancing the relationship a step further, Lu Changsheng did not press his advantage, choosing to stop at a good point, content with the progress.
