Chapter 258: Murong War: I Even Want to Marry My Daughter to You

"Affection level at 90%?"

After Fu Yue left, Lu Xun looked and discovered that her affection level with him had risen again, reaching 90%.

This time the affection level increased quite a bit.

It should be related to the battle where Lu Xun wiped out all the demon cultivators and saved Rong Cheng.

"Leader Wu, go ahead and busy yourself, don't worry about me; I'll go check on the Chu family, then go to heaven to join the battle."

"Alright, Brother Lu, after the war ends I'll treat you to a drink."

Great Leader Wu still has many affairs; seeing him still accompanying me, Lu Xun spoke.

"Brother Xun, Great Leader, I have a jar of fine wine aged over a hundred years at home; I'll definitely let you two open your eyes."

"You damn Wang Yuan, such good wine, actually hidden until now..."

Leader Wang's address for Lu Xun also became 'Brother Xun'.

Mainly because Great Leader Wu and Lu Xun have become sworn brothers; he is merely a minor leader of the Fifth Realm, so calling each other 'brother' and such is inappropriate.

After they left, Lu Xun then flew toward the Chu family with Chu Youqing and Murong Wan.

"Hahaha, Lu Xun, you are now the Great Hero of Rong Cheng!"

As soon as Lu Xun appeared at the Chu residence, Old Master Chu warmly came out to greet him.

"Great Hero... Great Hero..."

Beside them, a dull, foolish voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Xun looked and saw it was a strange middle-aged woman.

She stared at him, her hand repeatedly patting her chest.

"Aunt... how did he become like this?"

Chu Youqing was puzzled.

"Her soul is damaged; it's probably hard to recover."

Only then did Lu Xun recall that, when the souls were returned to their places earlier, he had noticed this woman.

Her soul had been nibbled by some ferocious resentful spirits in the Myriad Soul Banner; being able to come back to life would already be good.

I didn't expect her to be Chu Youqing's aunt.

Lu Xun had heard Chu Youqing say that this aunt was very domineering; together with her uncle, they had severely suppressed Chu Yuping and Murong Yan.

"Plop~"

Suddenly, someone knelt before Lu Xun.

"Yuqiang, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he was about to kowtow, Old Master Chu frowned and grabbed him, lifting him up.

Because the one kneeling was precisely Chu Yuqiang.

Old Master Chu wasn't feeling sorry for him; rather, Chu Yuqiang's behavior was tantamount to forcing Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun, please save Qunyun, please... we were wrong, we really were wrong; from now on we won't contend with Yuping anymore; all the authority of the Chu family, I don't want it; I only beg you to plead for Qunyun..."

Chu Yuqiang wept tears streaming down his face; even though Old Master Chu held him, he continued to beg bitterly.

"You hardly know you're wrong..."

Chu Youqing harbored deep resentment toward this uncle.

Since she could remember, her uncle's family has been suppressing her parents.

Murong Yan wanted to marry her to the He family in order to use the He family's help to escape their predicament.

"Yuqiang, the soul is damaged; how could it be easily healed? What can Lu Xun do?"

Old Master Chu shouted.

"There must be a way, there will definitely be a way; Yuping has already woken up, hasn't he? If it weren't for seeing Yuping wake up, Qunyun wouldn't have suffered such a great shock..."

"Shut up!"

Old Master Chu slapped Chu Yuqiang, knocking him senseless.

"Mom, Dad woke up?"

Chu Youqing rejoiced.

"He woke up."

Murong Yan's face also showed joy.

"Great."

Chu Youqing repeatedly pulled Lu Xun inside.

Not long after, Lu Xun saw Chu Yuping.

He had indeed woken up, but his whole body was extremely weak.

Although the demon seed had been removed, because it had drained too much of Chu Yuping's life force, wanting to recover was not easy.

Moreover, that demon seed had taken root in his heart for a long time, causing some effects on his heart.

Now that it has been removed, his heart wants to recover, which is likewise not easy.

"Lu Xun... thank you... thank you..."

As soon as he saw Lu Xun, Chu Yuping wanted to sit up to thank him.

"Uncle, just lie down; no need to get up."

Lu Xun walked over.

"Back then we were blind..."

"Uncle, don't speak; rest first."

Chu Yuping had only spoken a few words before he could no longer talk, so he closed his eyes to rest.

He is now too weak.

"So that's how she became foolish."

From Murong Yan, Lu Xun also learned why Wang Qunyun became foolish.

When her soul had just returned, Wang Qunyun was also a bit dazed, but it wasn't as serious as now.

Only after she discovered Chu Yuping had awakened, been stimulated, and let out a loud cry, did she become foolish and silly.

"What is there to fight over for a family at the Fourth Realm..."

Lu Xun shook his head slightly.

Soon after, he realized this was again a case of 'why not eat meat?'

If he had no system, and after a lifetime of struggle only managed to open a few meridians, then such a Fourth Realm family would be a colossal giant to him.

There is much to contend for within it.

The family's companies, real estate, businesses, and resources.

If ordinary people, ordinary cultivators, do not contend, how can they grow?

Like Chu Yuqiang, he is about to break through to the Fourth Realm.

Chu Yuping is still far from the Fourth Realm.

This is the difference.

To Lu Xun, as a System Host, this difference is nothing.

In the eyes of some geniuses, it is likewise nothing.

But on Lan Xing, with its billions of people, how many are geniuses?

System Hosts are even rarer—only Lu Xun is one.

Therefore, this is actually the norm for most people in this world.

On the Chu family's side, with Chu Yuping waking up, the matter came to a temporary conclusion.

"Aunt, let's go to your place to have a look."

Lu Xun decided to visit the Murong family again.

"Hmm."

Murong Wan softly hummed an 'hmm,' and her heart involuntarily stirred with some emotion.

"Hahaha, Lu Xun, come quickly, come quickly!"

Murong Zhan saw Lu Xun and was overjoyed.

The Murong family is fine this time.

The faces in heaven did not draw near to the Murong family's side.

"Grandfather's complexion looks good; is he preparing to break through to the Fifth Realm?"

Lu Xun could see Murong Zhan's plan at a glance.

"Lu Xun, thanks to your medicinal pill, I have not only recovered but also gained the means to break through to the Fifth Realm; I am preparing to make an attempt."

Murong Zhan is indeed preparing to break through to the Fifth Realm.

This made him feel especially grateful toward Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun, this time Rong Cheng owes you a great deal; you, such an outstanding young talent, are as rare as a once-in-a-millennium genius; if it weren't for your relationship with Youqing... I would want to marry my daughter to you."

Murong Zhan laughed and patted Lu Xun's shoulder, his tone tinged with teasing.

These words made Murong Wan's heart next to him go 'thump'.

A flush of crimson swiftly swept across her cheeks, as bright and lovely as the first dye of dawn.

She hurriedly lowered her eyelids, her long lashes trembling slightly, yet she could not hide the shy gleam in her eyes.
