285: End, enter the palace!

That smile was filled with the joy and pride of a new father.

Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps came from outside the door; it was a young maidservant.

Her face was flushed, and she was panting, yet her face was alight with uncontrollable delight.

As soon as she pushed open the door, the maidservant excitedly spoke: “Young Master!”

“Yes!”

She then hastily added, “Young Master Lu Xuan has arrived!”

“What?!”

Shen Yuan and Lu Qingqing, who was resting on the bed, were first stunned upon hearing this, and then delight instantly flooded their faces.

This joyous news was like a ray of light, firmly capturing all of Lu Qingqing’s attention.

She couldn't wait to get up and see her brother.

Immediately, Lu Qingqing used her hands to support her weak body with effort, and even though her movements were a bit strained, she still leaned her body to eagerly look outside the door.

Just as Lu Qingqing was struggling to maintain her posture due to the effort, a gentle and warm force softly supported her.

This force was just right, allowing her to lean comfortably without expending any effort.

“Quick!”

Shen Yuan, who was beside her, instinctively wanted to go out and personally welcome Lu Xuan.

But before he could finish speaking, a familiar figure had already swiftly entered the room.

Shen Yuan looked up and, seeing it was Lu Xuan, a trace of uncontrollable delight flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said, “Xuan Ge, you’ve had a tiring journey!”

“Mm!”

Lu Xuan responded softly to Shen Yuan, then stepped forward, gently stroked the baby’s cheek, his eyes full of tenderness: “Little sister, you’ve worked hard.”

Following that, Lu Xuan’s steps were steady as he walked past Shen Yuan, slowly approaching Lu Qingqing’s bed.

Lu Qingqing’s complexion was slightly pale, showing her postpartum weakness, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.

She gently curved her lips, with deep affection and reliance, happily calling out: “Big Brother!”

When facing Lu Xuan, her Big Brother, Lu Qingqing seemed to never grow up, as if time had never passed.

“Mm!”

Lu Xuan smiled gently, his eyes full of doting affection, and softly responded.

Then, Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, and within his palm, a faint golden vortex of qi quietly swirled out.

It was like a mysterious and beautiful golden flower.

From that golden vortex of qi, warm and radiant golden light gradually shone through.

The golden light was soft yet full of mysterious power, as if it were the source where Heaven and Earth spiritual energy converged, surging with infinite vitality and vigor.

Undying and Unextinguished!

Ever since Lu Xuan successfully broke through to the Void Realm, he had gained a deeper understanding and control over the three martial arts cultivation techniques he practiced.

To be precise, the current Lu Xuan was already able to fully unleash the power of these three martial arts cultivation techniques.

That was the power of Heaven and Earth Laws.

Especially the Undying and Unextinguished martial arts cultivation technique, which contained endless power of the Law of Life.

With this power, Lu Xuan could even manipulate it at will, applying it to others, bestowing new vitality and vigor upon them.

This was the supreme power of a Void Realm True Lord, controlling Heaven and Earth Laws through Heaven and Earth Manifestation.

However, the power of the Law of Life that Lu Xuan applied to others would be greatly weakened, far from achieving the effect he experienced himself.

Of course, for those below the Divine Palace Realm, that was more than enough.

At the very least, as long as the other party still had a breath left, Lu Xuan could guarantee that he would become full of vigor.

The next moment, the golden vortex of qi in Lu Xuan’s palm slowly rotated.

Strands of faint golden qi flowed into Lu Qingqing’s body.

Neither Shen Yuan nor Lu Qingqing had any doubts about Lu Xuan’s actions.

They both only felt that the golden vortex of qi above Lu Xuan’s palm brought them an unprecedented sense of comfort and warmth.

Lu Qingqing, lying on the bed, opened her eyes wide in surprise, her gaze fixed on Lu Xuan, and she asked softly, her tone full of confusion and curiosity.

“Big Brother, what is this?”

“How come I feel my body is suddenly different?”

Saying that, she instinctively moved her body again, feeling the miraculous changes brought by that power.

“My body!”

Lu Qingqing murmured to herself, seemingly still immersed in this sudden delight.

Just then, under Shen Yuan’s gaze, which was so astonished it almost popped out of his eye sockets, Lu Qingqing, as if infused with boundless power, suddenly leaped up from the bed.

Her movements were light and agile, and she landed steadily on the ground.

At this moment, she no longer had any trace of her previous weakness; she was simply full of vigor and vibrant life.

It was as if Lu Qingqing’s previous weakness was just an illusion.

No!

Bro!

Shen Yuan and Lu Qingqing both widened their eyes, their gazes filled with shock and disbelief, as if what they saw before them was an illusory dream.

Shen Yuan stared blankly at Lu Xuan, his mouth slightly agape, unable to speak for a moment.

What kind of divine method is this!

Shen Yuan secretly marveled in his heart; he had never imagined that such a miraculous power existed in this world.

To be able to restore a weak person to such vigor in just a short moment.

Even with miraculous elixirs, there would still need to be time for the body to absorb the medicinal properties, right?

Only a few seconds had passed!

???????

Regarding Shen Yuan and Lu Qingqing’s shock, Lu Xuan merely waved his hand lightly.

The golden vortex of qi above his palm slowly spread, enveloping the entire room.

Warm light shone on everyone, as if infusing them with new vitality.

Even Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing outside the door felt that power; all the fatigue in their bodies vanished, and their spirits were revitalized.

The next second, Liang Cheng excitedly shouted, “Oh my!”

“What is this thing!”

“Ah!”

Following that, Liang Cheng let out another long sigh, his face beaming with an expression of intoxication.

“So comfortable!” Saying that, Liang Cheng also stretched his limbs and moved his joints, as if his entire being had been thoroughly cleansed.

“What is this thing!” Liang Cheng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his mouth wide open, his voice full of exclamation.

“I feel full of strength, and even my martial arts realm seems to have subtly improved!”

Lu Yunqing, who was beside him, also felt completely at ease, but he wasn’t as exaggerated as Liang Cheng.

Lu Yunqing slightly furrowed his brows, a look of disdain on his face, and quietly glanced at Liang Cheng.

This fellow, making such a fuss and acting so undignified in front of so many people, was truly exasperating.

Inside the room, Shen Yuan also felt that warm power and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Xuan, to what extent has your martial arts cultivation reached?”

At this moment, Lu Xuan’s expression was calm, his movements natural, as he slowly retracted the power he had emitted, and his aura instantly became restrained.

Lu Xuan himself returned to his unperturbed demeanor.

He remained expressionless, a slight smile on his lips, and said something ambiguous: “My martial arts cultivation has improved recently.”

His tone was extremely flat, as if he were talking about a most ordinary trifle.

As Lu Xuan spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and three exquisite jade boxes emerged above his palm.

The surface of the jade boxes was carved with intricate patterns, faintly exuding a vibrant aura.

Lu Xuan placed the jade boxes on the table: “These are gifts for Qingqing and my two little nephews. Remember to keep them safe.”

Pausing, Lu Xuan continued to explain: “They can improve the physical meridians and cleanse impurities.”

“When the two of them grow older, they can use the contents of these jade boxes to assist their cultivation, which will allow them to avoid many detours and lay a solid foundation.”

Shen Yuan glanced at the three exquisite jade boxes; he didn’t even need to think to know what kind of rare treasures they contained!

Seeing that both Lu Qingqing and Shen Yuan looked like they wanted to speak, Lu Xuan took a step ahead and interrupted them.

“Alright!”

“No need to say more!”

Lu Xuan slightly raised his hand, stopping Lu Qingqing and Shen Yuan from speaking the words that were about to come out.

Nothing else.

Lu Xuan disliked making unnecessary stops and elaborations on the same matter.

Lu Qingqing understood her Big Brother’s temperament very well and knew that more words would be useless.

Then, Lu Qingqing’s eyes curved, her face beaming with a joyful smile, and she quickly came before Lu Xuan.

“Okay!”

She said crisply, her voice full of excitement.

“Big Brother, I was lying on the bed before and really couldn’t personally entertain Father.”

“Now, my body is completely recovered. I’ll accompany you to see Father!”

“Brother Yuan can handle things here!”

Saying that, Lu Qingqing looked up at Lu Xuan, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Xuan looked at his little sister’s lively appearance, and a long-lost joy welled up in his heart. He nodded lightly, “Mm!”

As soon as Lu Qingqing stepped out of the door, she heard a loud shout full of surprise: “Holy cow!”

“Cousin Qingqing!”

The owner of the voice widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his mouth agape as if it could fit an egg.

“You are!”

His gaze swept back and forth over Lu Qingqing, full of shock.

“Cousin Qingqing, how did you get up?”

Then, he pointed at Lu Qingqing and exclaimed suspiciously, “Also, how do you look even more energetic than me in that state?!”

Besides this fellow Liang Cheng, who else would be so startled and exaggerated?

Lu Qingqing was amused by Liang Cheng’s reaction, her eyebrows raised, her face filled with a mischievous expression: “Cousin Liang Cheng, what’s wrong with you?”

“Are you not happy that I’ve recovered so well?”

Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng scratched his head and laughed somewhat awkwardly: “How could that be!”

“I’m just worried about you, Cousin Qingqing!”

“But, you recovered too quickly, didn’t you?”

“It’s simply miraculous!”

Liang Cheng wasn’t stupid; he still guessed that Lu Qingqing’s change must have been Lu Xuan’s doing.

“It must have been Xuan Ge who made a move!”

“I knew it!”

“That mysterious power just now must have come from Xuan Ge!”

……

Two days later, Tiandu.

Outside the Imperial Palace gate, a figure slowly appeared.

He was dressed in a deep black brocade robe, with an extraordinary demeanor; it was precisely Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan stood before the Imperial Palace gate, his gaze calmly sweeping over the surrounding environment.

The Imperial Palace of Tiandu was magnificent and resplendent, exactly as it was the last time he came!

However, this time, Lu Xuan’s expression was composed and serene, as if nothing could shake his state of mind.

As Lu Xuan stopped at the main gate, a brilliant pink light shimmered and interwove in front, like splendid, dreamy clouds.

In an instant, a woman with an exquisitely graceful figure stepped lightly, walking elegantly towards him.

She was dressed in a luxurious and elegant red palace gown, her sleeves fluttering, the embroidery exquisitely beautiful.

The plum blossom patterns outlined with gold and silver threads shimmered under the sunlight, making her skin appear as white as snow and her temperament ethereal.

The person who arrived was none other than the woman Lu Xuan had seen many times, Plum Blossom Guard Commander Man Qingqiu!

Royal Concubine Man Qingqiu curtsied slightly, her posture graceful, and her crimson lips parted lightly: “Lord Lu, you’ve finally arrived!”

“You’ve certainly made me wait a long time!”

However, as Royal Concubine Man Qingqiu spoke, she quietly observed Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan!

What a martial arts prodigy!

That person actually had her, a Lord, personally come to welcome Lu Xuan, this Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard, into the palace!!!

This was an immense honor!
