Nangong Mili faced Lu Changsheng's warm and gentle gaze.
Seeing his uncommonly handsome features, like a Banished Immortal descending to the mortal world, dressed in a flowing azure robe, elegant and poised, with a voice full of concern, her heart unexpectedly trembled, surfacing a trace of softness.
Memories of that year surfaced in her mind—grievously injured and still unhealed, carrying her daughter Nangong Yaoyao, and traveling across the perilous Myriad Beasts Mountain Range with her disciple, Meng Xiaochan, to return to the Jin Kingdom.
Even as a Nascent Soul Immortal, the journey was fraught with endless dangers.
However, it was thanks to Lu Changsheng's Misty Sky Bead.
Without this Misty Sky Bead, she and Meng Xiaochan might not have made it back safely.
She recalled how, back then, when she was about to leave, Lu Changsheng, to help her heal, voluntarily departed and even gifted her the Misty Sky Bead, such an Exotic Treasure. Complicated emotions inexplicably surged within Nangong Mili's heart.
Though he had humiliated and mistreated her in countless ways, he had shown her some kindness nonetheless…
“Hmm!?”
The next moment, Nangong Mili's heart suddenly halted, realizing something was amiss.
What is going on!
This scoundrel not only planted a Gu on her and Xiao Chan but also humiliated and mistreated her extensively!
How could such matters be forgiven so easily!
Moreover, if he truly cared about her, would he have waited until now?
Xiao Chan had been under the influence of the Lockheart Gu for years; had he ever shown a shred of concern for her?
“Scoundrel, prepare to die!”
Nangong Mili's phoenix eyes turned icy cold, and she shouted in a chilling voice.
With her words, a purple jade flute appeared in her hand, poised at her lips.
Since Lu Changsheng had recognized her and with no one else around, she no longer concealed her strength. Unleashing her Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and magical power, she aimed to suppress Lu Changsheng completely.
“Woo-woo-woo—”
At that moment, as she struck with all her might, the disguise from the Misty Sky Bead was automatically undone, revealing a woman in her thirties with extraordinarily alluring and enchanting beauty. Her skin was flawless and snow-white, dressed in a luxurious purple gauze gown.
Her figure was seductively lithe, with graceful curves, long legs, and a devilishly stunning physique, her beauty breathtaking to behold.
As for her face, words like “nation-toppling” or “exquisite” fell short of encapsulating its splendor; it bore no flaws, as if sculpted with divine craftsmanship, mesmerizing beyond measure.
Especially her enchanting and misty phoenix eyes, which exuded an intoxicating allure capable of captivating souls.
Even Lu Changsheng, despite his broad life experiences, felt a flash of astonishment in his eyes upon seeing Nangong Mili's visage.
Aside from Yun Wanshang, Bai Ling, and Bing'er, the other wives and concubines at his residence could hardly rival Nangong Mili in beauty.
Yet, when it came to such extraordinary appearances, charm and demeanor held greater importance.
Nangong Mili, with every gesture and smile, radiated a sultry allure, brimming with seduction and unmatched grace.
In an instant, a colossal Purple Sky Spider phantom, spanning several meters, emerged and lunged toward Lu Changsheng.
“Buzz!”
Lu Changsheng gently patted his Qi Ocean Core, and the Formless Treasure Wheel appeared abruptly, spinning in his mind, emanating a faint golden glow that made him seem extraordinary.
As the Formless Treasure Wheel clashed with the spider's phantom, standing evenly against it, the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone in Lu Changsheng's chest surged with power.
“Boom!”
Instantly, a stunning burst of radiant light erupted forth, as if celestial energy flowed, with the sun, moon, and stars encircling him, elevating Lu Changsheng's bearing to new heights, as though he were a True Immortal walking amidst the mortal world.
“Mili, is your heart truly this ruthless? Do you hate me so much?”
“If you kill me, how will you explain it when the child asks about her real father in the future?”
“If she learns that her father was killed by her own mother, what will she think?”
Lu Changsheng's voice was warm and unhurried, speaking gently.
With the Formless Treasure Wheel and Protective Divine Light shielding him, Nangong Mili's attacks posed no threat to him.
Frankly, while Nangong Mili was at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, her combat strength could only be considered average.
“What does it have to do with you!”
Nangong Mili's phoenix eyes flickered with icy anger as she heard Lu Changsheng mention their daughter, her heart trembling slightly.
She sneered inwardly, realizing that this scoundrel must have known about her pregnancy all along.
Years ago, his sudden change in attitude toward her had to be because he'd discovered she was carrying his child!
“Hmph, before the child, you mistreated me relentlessly; now that there's a child, you suddenly act tender and affectionate!” Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Nangong Mili felt a burst of irritation within her heart.
Yet, at that moment, it was Lu Changsheng's strength that shocked her even more.
She hadn't expected him to not only break into Core Formation but also cultivate such Divine Skills that rendered him unaffected by her ‘Heavenly Spider's Soul-Calling Melody.'
Indeed, while her Life-bound Heavenly Spider had perished, drastically reducing her skill's potency…
Lu Changsheng's composed demeanor was simply…
“How can it have nothing to do with me? This is our child.”
Lu Changsheng's figure was tall and graceful, his body emanating a divine glow, his expression earnest and affectionate as he continued, “How has Yaoyao been all these years?”
Nangong Mili's heart trembled fiercely, a hint of panic flashing within her.
She had always kept her daughter Yaoyao well-protected, never letting her leave her side. Only after reaching Foundation Establishment did Yaoyao insist on going to the marketplace, and Nangong Mili had reluctantly allowed it. How could Lu Changsheng possibly know about Yaoyao's existence?
“How do you know about Yaoyao!?”
Nangong Mili's demeanor became cold and enchanting, like a thorned poppy, her voice icy as she demanded.
She had only intended to capture Lu Changsheng and settle the grievances between them.
But now, hearing him bring up her daughter Nangong Yaoyao, a deeper chill grew in her heart.
“I have a Divine Skill. The day Yaoyao was born, I felt it in my heart and saw you name her.”
Lu Changsheng's eyes were full of guilt as he said, “It's a beautiful name. Mili, thank you for all you've endured over the years.”
This guilt was not feigned.
Back then, upon realizing that Nangong Mili was pregnant, he harbored strong ulterior motives, hoping she would give birth to his child.
Yet, all these years, he had never truly cared about the mother or daughter.
“She's my daughter; she has nothing to do with you!”
Nangong Mili's phoenix eyes flashed with icy cruelty as she retorted sharply.
