Chapter 552

Pfft...

Ruler...

The Fusang experts were all dazed.

They flew down one by one and discovered that their own ruler had just climbed out of the huge pit.

At this moment, the Ruler of Fusang looked utterly miserable.

His ninth-grade treasure robe was torn to shreds, his hair disheveled, his body covered in blood, and his aura weakened to the extreme.

After climbing up, he still vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

Lu Xun's strike.

It left him heavily injured.

Without several years, there's no hope of recovery!

"Lu Xun, you... Pfft..."

He stumbled and flew into the sky, intending to rebuke Lu Xun, but another mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Not convinced?"

Lu Xun raised his brows, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He actually wanted to kill the Fusang ruler and then wipe out Fusang altogether.

With his strength, he could indeed do it.

But doing so would incur the rejection of Heaven's Dao.

Under Lu Xun's killing-intent gaze, the Fusang ruler finally realized his current predicament.

He hastily shut his mouth.

This guy could match the old-era Fusang emperor.

Like Xiba, he can bend and stretch; he's a coward.

"If the Tenth Realm comes, I will handle it myself; if you don't believe me, who dares to give it a try?"

Immediately afterward, Lu Xun looked at the many Western experts and spoke coldly.

Although his aura was not evident now, carrying the might of that punch just now, he actually stunned the Western Nine Realms experts present.

No one dared to utter a sound.

"Hahaha, little Xun, well done—this is truly a child of the Ning family, haha!"

Old Master Ning laughed loudly.

"Little brother... how did you become so strong?"

"Lu Xun... what fortunate encounter has he had this time?"

The others were still in shock.

It was truly Lu Xun's strike just now, too astonishing.

The Fusang ruler, a late-stage Nine Realms expert, was actually heavily injured by a single punch from Lu Xun.

"Since that's the case, we'll wait and see; farewell!"

After the Holy Hall's Holy Lord cupped his fists in an Eastern salute, he turned and left.

The strength Lu Xun just displayed made even him unable to gauge its depth.

He then knew that today's matter could not be proceeded with.

If so, there's no need to waste time here.

After the Holy Lord of the Holy Hall left, the other Western experts also did not linger, departing one after another.

"Heh, interesting..."

After the Scarlet Empress glanced at Lu Xun, she vanished silently.

Soon, all the Western experts had left.

Only the deeply shocked Eastern experts remained on the scene.

Only after a short while did Lu Xun manage to slip away.

"Grandfather, I said not to be too enthusiastic; little brother will feel resentful."

"This matter was indeed our fault back then; if he feels resentful, so be it. We can only do what we can to make amends. Alas, if only Zijun and Mingyue were still here..."

After Lu Xun left, Old Master Ning let out a deep sigh.

Just now he enthusiastically approached, only to receive a cold reception from Lu Xun.

"Grandfather, Father and Mother merely got lost in the dark universe; they might still be alive somewhere in the cosmos. When I become strong in the future, I will surely find them!"

Ning Qianqian clenched her fists and swore an oath to the heavens.

Her parents met with an accident shortly after Lu Xun's birth, during one occasion when Lan Xing entered the dark universe, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Otherwise, if they learned of Lu Xun's affairs, they would surely have come looking for him without delay.

"Wow, Lan Xing has changed so much."

"The seas have turned to mulberry fields—truly a world transformed."

"We're back!"

Elsewhere.

Lu Xun released the people of the Lingyun Sect.

The Lingyun Sect numbered not a few, several thousand strong, and their strength was quite formidable.

As for their return, the East naturally welcomed them.

Yun Shuyue is a tribulation-transcending expert; for the East to gain such an expert out of the blue, who wouldn't be delighted?

After the Lingyun Sect members had adapted to present-day Lan Xing, the East deliberately allocated the mountain peak where they once resided to them.

As their new base.

As for Chu Youqing and the others, after returning to Lan Xing, they all went back to Rong Cheng.

Bai Ling then took a vast quantity of Saint-grade pills to the Lu Clan Group.

Only Ran Bing was still cultivating.

"Shu Yue, what do you think?"

"Mm, very good, thank you, Lu Xun."

Yun Shu Yue was very satisfied with the arrangements for Lan Xing.

"These dark energies are for you, and these formation devices..."

Lu Xun gave her quite a few things, helping them rebuild their sect.

Now Yun Shu Yue has become his bound partner; Lu Xun helping her however he can is not excessive.

Yun Shu Yue felt quite grateful.

However, in their interactions with Lu Xun, they still maintained restraint.

Even though they had already gone through that level of relationship.

After that, Lu Xun had a long talk with the Martial Manor Master.

The Martial Manor Master suggested that Lu Xun could give it a try, to see if he could become a Heavenly Dao Councilor.

Becoming a Heavenly Dao Councilor is simple: there is a dedicated Heavenly Dao Tower; after clearing it, one can challenge the current councilor.

Lu Xun felt the timing wasn't right, so he decided to delay.

As for whether he becomes a councilor or not, Lu Xun actually doesn't care much.

What he wants now is, after handling some trivial matters, to use immortal-grade pills to properly boost the strength of the several women.

That is the most important thing.

After having reached the Eternal Star Region, Lu Xun's horizons were already different from before.

He also had some plans in mind.

However, these all require waiting until his strength improves a bit more.

Mainly his immortal and martial prowess.

After waiting a while longer, Lu Xun will be able to carry out his plan.

"Lu Xun, I've already reached the Six Realms~"

After spending a few days refining pills, that day Chu Youqing came.

Chu Youqing had already reached the Six Realms.

However, she had been cultivating all along, and with Lu Xun in the starry skies, they had not yet completed the final step.

Now then,

It seems the time has come.

Seeing as his little girlfriend has come to his door.

Lu Xun couldn't resist teasing her: "Youqing, what's wrong?"

Chu Youqing puffed her lips.

Lu Xun, this isn't a case of feigning ignorance, is it?

She gritted her teeth, stepped forward, and gently embraced Lu Xun.

"Take me."

Chu Youqing's voice was so low only she could hear it.

After saying that,

she seemed to have lost all courage.

Her face flushed all the way to her neck.

The girl's flushed face spoke more than a thousand words.

"Ah..."

Thus,

In Chu Youqing's soft exclamation, Lu Xun hoisted her and strode into the bedroom with great strides.

Instantly.

The bedroom was filled with springlight.

However,

A few hours later,

Chu Youqing was about to cry.

She was, after all, experiencing it for the first time.

Her boyfriend,

"How could he have gotten so much?!"

"Youqing, when you decided to be my girlfriend, was it purely out of gratitude?"

Lu Xun finally let her go and started chatting with her.

"At first it definitely was."

Chu Youqing did not avoid the question.

She recounted her own emotional journey.

At the beginning, her feelings toward Lu Xun were indeed mostly gratitude.

She had wanted nothing more than to repay the life-saving kindness of Lu Xun's parents.

But as time passed, her love for Lu Xun grew more and more, until she could not help herself.

"Lu Xun, compared to them, am I really inadequate?"

Chu Youqing suddenly said.

She is not an idiot.

Knowing that Lu Xun probably already has many women now.

But Chu Youqing did not blame Lu Xun.

She merely felt she was not excellent enough.

And she feared Lu Xun would despise her.

"Silly girl."

Such Chu Youqing made Lu Xun feel a bit heartache.

As things have developed to this point, many things have deviated from the set course.

Especially in terms of feelings.

Lu Xun gently stroked Chu Youqing's little head, speaking softly: "How could it not be? In my heart, you are one of a kind."

"Really?"

Chu Youqing blinked her big eyes.

"Mm!"

Lu Xun nodded heavily.

"Lu Xun, I like you!"

Chu Youqing was overjoyed, and she actively kissed Lu Xun's forehead.

This girl, they've already had the most intimate relationship, yet her kiss is still so conservative.

Thus,

Lu Xun decided to further deepen their feelings.

Just like that.

Lu Xun and Chu Youqing clung to each other for several days.

During these days, Lu Xun lived a life like that of an immortal.

Chu Youqing's purity and cuteness were savored by Lu Xun to his fill.

Her gentleness likewise dispelled Lu Xun's fatigue from his journey home.

Making Lu Xun feel as if he were in heaven, light and airy.

Until a few days later.

Lu Xun had to go attend to some matters.

"Youqing, rest well for a few days."

"Mm!"

Chu Youqing lightly nodded.

These days, she was completely enveloped by happiness.

Toward Lu Xun she felt both love and fear.

Love, naturally, is extreme love,

The fear is that Lu Xun is too fierce.

Now Chu Youqing's legs are still a bit weak.

Despite that, she still feels somewhat reluctant, wishing she could cling to Lu Xun every day.
