Chapter 403: Return to the Fu Family

Lu Xun, I didn't expect your cooking to be this good~

Lu Family Building.

Chu Youqing couldn't stop praising Lu Xun's cooking skills.

For Chu Youqing's birthday this time, Lu Xun made a big fuss, but in the end he returned to the Lu Family Building, where he personally cooked and prepared a delicious meal for her.

Lu Xun actually knows how to cook, but before this, Chu Youqing and Murong Wan always cooked for him, never letting him lift a finger.

Today they are still trying Lu Xun's cooking for the first time.

Mm, the boss's cooking is really fragrant.

Bai Ling also gave a thumbs-up.

Our boss really can do anything—I'm so envious of Miss Chu; being the boss's girlfriend is too happy.

Xie Yuyan was also there.

Being openly envied by Xie Yuyan, Chu Youqing's heart was full of sweetness.

Today was her happiest day.

It wasn't just because of the gift Lu Xun gave; more importantly, it was the sincerity he showed at this moment.

Lu Xun, is the love poison really that potent?

Mm.

All right, then I'll keep you company with a chat~

After the birthday party ended, Chu Youqing and Lu Xun sat on the balcony, gazing at the full sky of stars as they chatted.

She actually wanted to snuggle into Lu Xun's arms and sleep.

Even do some intimate things with Lu Xun.

But Lu Xun was afraid that over time he'd pass the love poison to her.

As they chatted, Murong Wan joined in.

The three of them talked about some future plans.

At the next Ancient Road Node, Lu Xun has to go to Yao Xing to find that Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King; he can't bring them along.

Lu Xun originally planned to let the two women just focus on cultivation.

But after the two women had buried themselves in cultivation for so long, they also wanted to go out and move around.

The Murong family was preparing to act together with the Chu family, as well as the Qin family, another in-law family of the Murongs.

The two women intended to take part.

Lu Xun, don't worry—we'll be careful, at most active in the Four-Star Spirit Realm.

Chu Youqing was afraid Lu Xun would worry.

My father is about to break through to the Fifth Realm; nothing unexpected will happen.

Murong Wan also said.

All right, but I need to bring the talismans I prepared for us.

Lu Xun didn't insist.

A cultivator's growth can't rely solely on secluded study.

It inherently needs some tempering and training.

Otherwise, why would a resource-rich great clan like the Liu family send out a prodigy like Liu Xinghe to be trained?

If Lu Xun kept protecting them all the time, they might end up as hothouse flowers.

That wasn't Lu Xun's original intention.

As for safety concerns, there's no need to worry too much.

Their own strength is not lacking; they have the seventh-grade treasure robes and weapons Lu Xun gave them, plus a large number of talismans and battle pills.

Even if they encounter fifth- or sixth-realm opponents, they won't be outmatched.

If it's a fifth-realm foe, they could smash him to death just by throwing talismans.

As for sixth-realm opponents, the seventh-grade talismans Lu Xun gave them would make the enemy unable to eat and walk away.

Even if they can't kill them, forcing the enemy to retreat or withdrawing themselves unscathed is no problem.

In the Four-Star Spirit Realm, there won't be overly powerful star-space aliens or foreign races.

As they chatted, the night grew deep.

Chu Youqing, unable to sleep, again talked about some cultivation insights, as well as amusing childhood stories with Murong Wan.

That chat lasted an entire night.

Only when the sky began to lighten did Chu Youqing leave together with Murong Wan.

"Xun Ge, you're treating me like less than a brother—just helping out a little, why are you giving me so many pills?"

The next day, Li Bu fan called.

Lu Xun had someone deliver the pills to him, making Li Bu fan feel embarrassed.

Over the past two years, Lu Xun hasn't had few people sending him pills.

Li Bu fan felt it was wrong to keep taking advantage of Lu Xun, so in his free time he went to the Lu Family Group's stores to work as a volunteer.

"Just take it; if you really feel bad, repay my favor after you break through to the Tenth Realm."

"The Tenth Realm? Xun Ge, you're thinking too highly of me—you might not even see it in your lifetime."

Li Bu fan shook his head.

He still accepted the pills.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

The day for visiting the Fu family to propose marriage is drawing nearer.

The day before going to the Fu Family to propose, Lu Xun, fearing the love poison would cause trouble, used an aphrodisiac pill together with Ran Bing.

Early the next morning, Lu Xun set off early, taking a flying boat to Celestial Mechanism City.

"Little Xun."

Granny Xue had already been waiting at the entrance of Celestial Mechanism City.

Upon seeing Lu Xun, Granny Xue revealed a kind smile.

"Granny, sorry to trouble you."

"Eh, what trouble? Being able to act as a matchmaker for you is an honor for me, Little Xun. You're so capable, you'll surely surpass me in the future."

Granny Xue said with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two boarded the dedicated flying boat together.

"The atmosphere at the Fu Family is good, there aren't many formalities. Once you arrive at the Fu Family, follow behind me, and I'll handle everything for you."

On the flying boat, Granny Xue voluntarily took charge of the proposal matter.

This let Lu Xun breathe a sigh of relief.

For him, this was the first time, and he still didn't know what to do.

With Granny Xue present, it was indeed better.

Not long after, they arrived at District 68 where the Fu Family resided.

"Here we come."

"The son-in-law is here~"

As soon as the flying boat arrived, a large crowd of Fu Family members came rushing over with a clamor.
