Chapter 97: [Attempting to catch by letting go, proposing marriage] (Second update, seeking subscriptions)

The reputation Lu Chengtong had previously built up as a "Descendant of Taotie" was still quite resonant; he had even manifested it once during the latter stages of the war between the demon race and the human race to maintain the heat of this image.

On that day, having transformed into the image of a burly man, he was suppressed by the aura of a Golden Core stage demonic beast, then directly transformed into a beast of immense size and swallowed that demonic beast in one gulp.

And he had also said something domineering.

"A mere little crocodile dares to exert pressure on me, a descendant of Taotie!"

Now, he only needed to reenact it once more to allow himself to appear in a grand and upright manner.

The place he chose to manifest was in Shenzhao City.

Among the management systems of the main cities established by the demon race, Wanyao City was the highest-level main city, followed by first-level main cities, second-level main cities, third-level main cities, and satellite cities.

So-called first-level main cities were huge immortal cities established next to the sects of the original three great human immortal sects, capable of accommodating ten million people, with city walls reaching a hundred zhang in height, built very majestically.

Several first-level main cities were governed by Dao Harmonizing demon kings as city lords.

Shenzhao City belonged to a second-level main city, and the city lord was the Nascent Soul stage demon king, Deer Staff Immortal—the very great demon who had instigated the raid on the secret treasury of Shenzhao Mountain.

The background of Deer Staff Immortal was not simple.

Among the demon race, besides the three great demon emperors, there were twelve Dao Harmonizing demon kings, one of whom was the father of Deer Staff Immortal, known as the Deer Staff Immortal.

Hearing this title, he did not seem like an ordinary demon; in fact, according to information Lu Chengtong had recently obtained, this Deer Staff Immortal was a master alchemist. The Blood Origin Pills used to control human spies in places like Piaoxue Tower were developed by him, and the Half-Demon Pills that allowed the demon race to become half-demons were also his research results.

Deer Staff Immortal held a transcendent status in Wanyao City, revered as the Left Offering under the three great demon emperors, and together with another great demon who had single-handedly planned the demon race's grand strategy and achieved the current situation of demon rule, the Right Offering "Golden Light Immortal," they were known as the two great pillars of the demon race.

Without the two of them, relying solely on the four powerful demon emperors of the demon race, it would have been impossible to complete such a heaven-turning and earth-shattering plan.

It was precisely by relying on this illustrious status that Deer Staff Immortal was able to sit firmly as the city lord of the first city among the second-level main cities.

To say nothing else, just the item of looting Shenzhao Mountain alone yielded incomparably huge benefits.

Hmm, Deer Staff Immortal had a daughter with Nascent Soul stage cultivation, which was a good choice.

This was the goal of Lu Chengtong's trip here.

Her bloodline, capable of cultivating to the Dao Harmonizing stage, was certainly of high quality; if he could get her to conceive Lu Family offspring, this branch of the half-demon Lu Family bloodline would definitely be very powerful.

Lu Chengtong learned that Deer Staff Immortal's daughter, Lu Lingyi, had eaten a Transformation Pill very early on and had been cultivating in human cities; her living habits were almost the same as a human's, and the whole person exuded a wild, mature beauty.

He wanted to find a suitable female demon to be his Dao companion, and beauty was also one of the factors to consider.

Whether one is strong or not can be changed, but being handsome is a lifelong matter!

The Lu Family's bloodline must have men who are handsome enough and women who are beautiful enough.

Only in this way can they attract excellent partners, obtain high-quality spouses, and subsequently strengthen the bloodline inheritance.

Lu Lingyi did not like fighting; her identity among the humans previously was an alchemist, and now she had opened a medical clinic in Shenzhao City and become a physician.

On this day, a tall, handsome, black-robed burly man with a face like it had been carved by a knife came to the front of the medical clinic; he seemed to be attracted by something, his eyes fixed on something.

Lu Lingyi was made to feel somewhat ashamed and angry by his burning gaze, and she said angrily:

"If you are not here to see a doctor, do not block others here!"

The burly man was naturally Lu Chengtong's disguise; his appearance had been slightly altered based on his original foundation.

"I originally had no illness, but after seeing you, I have one."

Lu Lingyi was even more angry; how could this person be extorting someone, ah no, extorting a demon!

Just as she was about to retort, she heard Lu Chengtong continue:

"After seeing you, I have contracted lovesickness."

Just as Lu Lingyi's head was buzzing, Lu Chengtong had already stepped away.

Lu Lingyi reacted; she had never heard such love words before. Although she had lived in human cities for many years, she had always been pure-hearted and ascetic, focusing entirely on her career. Where had she ever been flirted with so directly, and so aggressively? How could this old maid of over three hundred years stand it!?

Hateful, that guy had actually disappeared in the blink of an eye.

By the next day, Lu Lingyi found that Lu Chengtong had come again; he didn't speak, just watched from the side, watched for about an hour, and then left.

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

On this day, Lu Lingyi found that Lu Chengtong had actually not come, and a touch of loss welled up in her heart.

In the afternoon, she was called to the City Lord's Mansion by her father, and then she saw Lu Chengtong sitting in the room chatting with Deer Staff Immortal, and immediately called out with some surprise:

"It's you!"

Seeing the expression and words of his daughter after she entered, Deer Staff Immortal immediately revealed a smile.

"Haha, it seems you already know each other, that makes it even easier to talk. Lingyi, Ao Cheng wants to marry you as his Dao companion, what do you think?"

Lu Lingyi was stunned upon hearing this; why ask this directly as soon as he came up?

Although the pairing between demonic beasts was relatively wild and casual, she had lived with humans for a long time and was somewhat shy, like a girl.

Lu Chengtong stood up and said:

"Miss Lu, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ao Cheng, cultivation at the early Nascent Soul stage, a descendant of Taotie. I fell in love with you at first sight that day, hence I came to the City Lord's Mansion to propose marriage to the young lady. For this, I offer a spirit fruit obtained from ruins that can allow one to obtain supernatural powers as a betrothal gift."

Using such a treasure as a betrothal gift, plus the attention I have paid to you these days, you should be able to discover that my intentions toward you are sincere enough.

I do not expect you to decide immediately, I only hope you give me a chance for us to understand each other, and give our future children a chance to be born."

Lu Lingyi was originally quite moved; after all, the other party had so easily brought out a spirit fruit that could obtain supernatural powers, and coupled with the fact that he had silently guarded her side these days, it indeed gave her a different kind of feeling.

But upon hearing the last sentence, her face became shy and annoyed, and she blurted out:

"Who wants to have children with you!"

After finishing, she turned and ran away.

Deer Staff Immortal didn't understand things like romance, but he felt that this son-in-law, Ao Cheng, was very good.

A descendant of Taotie, this was definitely a noble bloodline, even a few degrees more noble than their family's Seven-Colored Divine Deer bloodline; he just didn't know how the bloodline purity was.

But being able to reach his current cultivation level showed that the purity would not be too low, at least it was suitable to match his daughter.

For the next period of time, Lu Chengtong stayed at the City Lord's Mansion.

A year later, he had taken Lu Lingyi down.

Lu Chengtong had originally thought about finding a few more female demons to increase the probability of pregnancy, but who would have thought that after just three years of effort, Lu Lingyi had actually conceived a child for him.

Lu Lingyi was a pure-blooded Seven-Colored Divine Deer, and her race's bloodline talent was "Seven-Colored Spirit Light," which could heal injuries, detoxify, and resist curses and mental impacts, which was very powerful.

As for Lu Chengtong himself, he was not a pure-blooded human. ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
