Chapter 27: Mother-in-Law Meets Son-in-Law

Lu Xun, you're amazing, Aunt said that after Grandfather took the medicine you gave, the toxin has already been cleared, Aunt is very grateful to you.

As soon as they met, Chu Youqing couldn't help but tell Lu Xun the good news.

Is that bottle of medicine really an antidote?

Lu Xun felt doubtful, not understanding why the antidote would be on that Second Realm Shadow Clan person.

After thinking about it, never mind all that; as long as the antidote works, that's fine.

"Grandfather said he wants to properly thank you, Lu Xun, when you next return to Rong Cheng, don't forget to go to Grandfather's house and really fleece him—Grandfather is loaded."

Chu Youqing smiled like a blossom, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

A Fourth Realm Master is indeed wealthy.

Leaving other things aside, to become a Fourth Realm Master, the amount of Dark Energy consumed must be calculated in cubic units.

One unit of Dark Energy is actually the Dark Energy under normal density in one cubic centimeter.

One cubic meter of Dark Energy equals one million units of Dark Energy.

From this we can see how much money a Fourth Realm Master, especially an established one, must have.

In fact, Dark Energy cannot be simply converted into money.

If the Dark Energy used by some top experts were converted into money, it could buy most of the countries on Lan Xing.

The two talked as they walked out of the airport.

"How come you didn't ask what my method is?" Lu Xun suddenly said.

They've been with Lu Xun for half a day, yet Chu Youqing still hasn't asked about the method he mentioned to help her activate her ancient spiritual root.

"You'll definitely tell me, won't you?"

Chu Youqing blinked her lively eyes, her tone light.

Lu Xun knew she was surely worried that his earlier words were just consolation.

That's why she didn't bring it up when they met.

"This method is a bit special."

Lu Xun gazed at her, speaking solemnly.

"Huh?"

Chu Youqing showed an expectant expression.

"Youqing, you really are here."

A gentle female voice suddenly interjected.

Chu Youqing turned her head, and instantly felt as if the sky had collapsed: "Mom, why are you here?"

Mom?

Lu Xun followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties approaching gracefully.

Her appearance bore some resemblance to Murong Wan's, but she looked more mature and charming, exuding an alluring charm.

From Chu Youqing's address, it was clear she was Chu Youqing's mother, Murong Wan's sister, named Murong Yan.

No wonder her eyes resemble Murong Wan's quite closely.

But she seems too young.

She looks only about thirty, so describing her as having lingering charm is still premature.

She is actually radiant and tempting right now.

Her actual age is definitely over thirty; she should be around forty.

In the high-martial era, there are many things to maintain one's physique, so it's natural for her to keep a thirty-year-old state.

Some experts, especially Immortal Cultivators, are over a hundred years old yet still like youths.

"You must be Lu Xun, right?"

Murong Yan didn't answer her daughter, her gaze landing directly on Lu Xun.

"Hello, Aunt, I'm Lu Xun."

Lu Xun felt like he was meeting his parents-in-law, behaving very formally.

More accurately, he was caught in the act by the parents.

Although he was a bit nervous, Lu Xun didn't feel afraid.

He's not a yellow-haired punk.

He's nineteen, in college—what's wrong with dating?

"There's a coffee shop over there; let's go chat there."

Murong Yan suggested.

Chat?

"Mom, I didn't come to pick up Lu Xun, what are you doing?"

Chu Youqing was dissatisfied, pouting.

"Youqing, I just want to chat with Lu Xun."

Murong Yan's demeanor was gentle; she didn't seem to be looking for trouble with Lu Xun.

"Okay, Aunt."

Lu Xun agreed.

"Youqing, go wait over there."

"Mom..."

"Be obedient."

In the coffee shop, Chu Youqing unwillingly sat on the other side.

"What do you like to drink?"

"A latte, please."

"Two lattes, thank you."

After Murong Yan finished ordering coffee, she took off her Chanel-style jacket, revealing her attractive figure.

Although her looks are slightly inferior to Murong Wan's, the unique charm and allure of a married woman are something Murong Wan cannot match.

Lu Xun sat upright with proper posture, eyes on nose, nose on heart, avoiding looking at places he shouldn't.

After all, she is Chu Youqing's mother, his future mother-in-law.

"Do you know why Youqing likes you?"

Murong Yan spoke again, directly laying out the relationship between Lu Xun and Chu Youqing.

"Auntie, to be honest, I don't know either."

Lu Xun spoke truthfully.

He always felt that Chu Youqing had agreed too suddenly back then.

He originally thought she was doing it to help her aunt.

After helping her aunt, she still regarded herself as Lu Xun's girlfriend, and she wasn't bad to him.

"Five years ago, you were probably still in middle school; when Lan Xing entered a node of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, it encountered a great disaster. That disaster, I believe, left a deep impression on you."

Murong Yan said this slowly and gently.

Lu Xun's expression turned solemn.

The memory of that great disaster five years ago is still fresh in his mind.

Because his parents died in that disaster.

"That disaster happened very suddenly; at the time, many of Lan Xing's powerhouses were in the starry sky and failed to return in time, Rong Cheng's city-protecting grand formation was shattered, and exotic species and tribes took advantage to cause chaos, resulting in countless casualties in Rong Cheng."

"Youqing almost died in that disaster, but luckily a kind-hearted couple who were already injured risked their lives to save her, preserving her life." Murong Yan took a light sip of coffee, "She has always remembered this."

"Are those parents my parents?"

Having said this much, how could Lu Xun not understand?

The couple that Murong Yan said saved Chu Youqing is most likely his parents.

"Yes."

Murong Yan nodded slightly.

Indeed.

They are his parents, who saved Chu Youqing.

This makes sense as to why Chu Youqing suddenly agreed to be his girlfriend.

Why, after helping her aunt, she still hasn't left him.

It is very likely that Chu Youqing then learned Lu Xun's identity, knowing that Lu Xun is the son of the couple who saved her.
