43: Chapter 43 Second-Order Peach Blossom Luck Gu

At the same time,

Ye Changge, riding on Xiao Jin's back, had not been gone for long when

he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his Sea of Consciousness.

"peach blossom luck gu worm? Is it... advancing?"

With a thought, he looked inward at his own body.

He saw that little pink worm, its entire body glowing with flickering light as its aura steadily climbed.

"Could it be because of that Shopkeeper Xiao just now? Did it suck a breath of peach blossom luck from her?"

Ye Changge rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He diverted a wisp of his mind to pay attention to it.

After a few incense sticks' time, the pink light in his Sea of Consciousness flourished!

The peach blossom gu worm's body seemed to have expanded by a circle,

its color turning from a pale pink to a deeper peach red.

Immediately after, Ye Changge felt a warmth spread through his body,

as if a pink stream of light flashed through him.

"Hmm?"

He immediately released his Divine Sense to perceive the changes in himself.

In the next moment, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Now, he... was a bit excessively handsome!

Originally, after Foundation Establishment, due to cultivating the Yin Yang Creation Art,

Ye Changge's current appearance seemed to have undergone a slight change again.

His facial features, which had become increasingly handsome after Foundation Establishment because of the Yin Yang Creation Art,

now had an indescribable demonic air naturally flowing between the corners of his eyes and brows.

Especially his eyes; looking closely, it seemed as if phantoms of peach blossoms were slowly rotating within them.

He was truly handsome,

but looking at his "peach blossom eyes" in the mirror,

Ye Changge couldn't help but shiver, breaking out in goosebumps.

"If I walk out looking like this, I'm afraid I'll be taken for some demonic cultivator who practices charm arts. Better turn it off."

With a thought, he immediately communicated with the peach blossom gu worm in his Sea of Consciousness.

He retracted that bewitching air.

He returned to his previous handsome and ethereal self.

"That's more like it." Ye Changge breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, after stepping into the second order, the peach blossom gu had gained an additional Divine Ability.

It could actively release "Peach Blossom Miasma,"

which could invisibly stir the heartstrings and amplify the target's innermost emotions and desires.

Ye Changge had always looked down on such things.

"Does someone like me, Ye Changge, need this?"

He shook his head, his face full of righteousness.

"Which of my current wives wasn't won over by my personal charm and sincere treatment,

brought home step by step?"

However... he reconsidered, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It could, however, serve as a little toy for flirting in the bedroom with my wives, adding a bit of flavor... Yes, that works."

In this way, the journey continued without further incident.

Xiao Jin carried Ye Changge through the sea of clouds,

flying rapidly toward Biluo Lake.

In just over ten days, the familiar silhouette of Biluo Lake appeared at the edge of his vision.

The Ye Family residence had expanded quite a bit in scale.

As soon as he landed in his courtyard, a fragrant breeze rushed toward him.

"Husband!"

"Master is back!"

A flurry of women's voices and children's laughter

instantly surrounded Ye Changge.

Ye Changge felt a wave of warmth in his heart and laughed heartily,

reaching out to rub the heads of his wives, concubines, and children one by one.

"Alright, alright, I'm back! I've brought gifts for all of you. Don't worry, everyone gets one!"

As he spoke, like a magician, he pulled items out of his Storage Pouch one by one.

...According to each person's preferences and cultivation level,

he distributed them one by one.

His main wife Lu Shiqing received one, the concubines received theirs, and even the serving maids received gifts,

with no difference made based on status.

All the women's faces beamed with joy.

"And these,"

Ye Changge finally took out several exquisite jade bottles and smiled,

"Beauty Retaining Pills. One for each person; taking them now will yield the best effect."

These were specifically refined by him in the Immortal City for his wives.

"Beauty Retaining Pills?!"

Hearing this, the women's beautiful eyes instantly lit up like stars.

Women are naturally beauty-loving, let alone for a Spirit Pill that can delay the aging of one's appearance.

They each took a jade bottle as if it were a priceless treasure,

looking at Ye Changge with eyes as tender as water,

overflowing with sweetness.

"Thank you, husband!"

"Master is the best!"

Just then,

Da-da-da!

A series of hurried footsteps approached, accompanied by a panicked call.

"Husband! Husband!"

Everyone turned around to see Lu Shiqing lifting her skirt, running hurriedly from outside the courtyard.

The moment she saw Ye Changge surrounded by his wives and children, her eyes instantly reddened.

Ignoring everything else, she threw herself directly into his arms.

"Husband! You're finally back!"

Ye Changge caught her steadily, wrapping his arm around her slender waist,

and asked gently, "Wife Shiqing, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Shiqing looked up, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Husband, please go to Qingmao Mountain and help Sister!"

Sister is in seclusion for Foundation Establishment, and there are Bandit Cultivators attacking the Mountain-Protecting Array, interfering with her Breakthrough!"

"Hmm? Sister Shiyin is establishing her foundation?"

Ye Changge frowned,

the image of that gentle, water-like woman with an elegant temperament appearing in his mind.

He had a very good impression of Lu Shiyin,

and moreover, she was his own wife's elder sister.

In both emotion and reason, he could not stand by and watch.

Looking at his lovely wife crying like a pear blossom in the rain in his arms,

Ye Changge quickly said in a soft voice,

"Alright, alright, Shiqing, don't cry. Husband will go now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure descended from the sky,

landing in the courtyard. It was the Ye Family Old Ancestor, Ye Fan.

"Changge, you've returned at just the right time!"

Ye Fan's expression was grave, and he spoke quickly,

"Urgent news came from Qingmao Mountain. The Lu Family girl has reached the critical moment of Foundation Establishment,"

but Foundation Establishment Cultivators of unknown identity are continuously attacking the array to interfere.

It's nine times out of ten those two old dogs from the Li Family!

I was just about to head over. Since you're back, you stay and guard the Family while I go to the Lu Family."

Ye Changge pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Old Ancestor, it's better if I go."

Ye Fan frowned.

"Changge, although you have your Yao Beast and Talismans,"

the opponents are at least two Foundation Establishments, and Li Yuanhao is even in the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage..."

"Old Ancestor, rest assured,"

Ye Changge smiled slightly.

"Changge does not do things he is not certain of."

Seeing his Old Ancestor still looking hesitant,

Ye Changge wasted no more time. He gently patted Lu Shiqing's back in his arms to comfort her,

then his figure blurred as he leaped onto Xiao Jin's back in the courtyard.

"Old Ancestor, just rest assured. I will definitely return safely."

"Husband, you must be careful!"

Lu Shiqing chased after him for a few steps and shouted up.

"Don't worry, wait for my return."

Ye Changge smiled at her,

then nodded to the women below and the Old Ancestor.

Li!

Xiao Jin gave a long cry, its wings spreading wide,

turning into a streak of golden lightning,

soaring through the air toward Qingmao Mountain!

...

At the same time, Qingmao Mountain, the core of the Lu Family's Spiritual Vein.

Above the mountain peak, a huge vortex of Spiritual Qi slowly rotated,

madly absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Below the vortex, Lu Shiyin sat cross-legged in a Spirit Gathering Array,

her eyes tightly shut, the spiritual power fluctuations around her intense.

Clearly, she had reached the most critical legal power stage of Foundation Establishment—

condensing Qi into liquid and establishing the Dao Foundation!

However, at this moment, the Mountain-Protecting Array guarding the Lu Family

was enduring continuous and violent attacks!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two black-robed figures stood in the air, their faces covered by masks that blocked Divine Sense.

They were constantly urging Spiritual Artifacts to strike that crumbling light-blue light shield.

The light shield vibrated violently.

It was clearly struggling extremely hard to hold on.
