138: Lu Qingwu, the beautiful woman in blue

Just as Cao Bu's left foot was about to step out of the living room's threshold, a soft, slightly cool small hand suddenly reached out and gently held his finger.

"Big Brother, stay... stay a little longer."

Yun Shang's voice trembled slightly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

[Ding! Detected that Yun Shang's favorability towards the Host has greatly increased, and inheritance progress has increased by 1%.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have gained one lottery chance.]

Cao Bu's footsteps paused, and he slowly turned around.

Before him, Yun Shang was looking up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised tenderness.

Their gazes met in the air, their breathing gradually quickened, and their bodies unconsciously drew closer.

The next second, Yun Shang, for the first time, actively leaned towards him.

"Big Brother, I'm sorry, I was too stubborn before."

Cao Bu's heart suddenly softened, and he reached out to pull her into his embrace: "Big Brother understands, Big Brother knows it all."

"I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that you give me another chance."

After their intimate moment, Cao Bu was tidying his robes, preparing to leave, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Yun Shang's inheritance progress had reached 4%, with only the last 1% remaining to complete the goal.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally took out an Yingwhite jade bottle from his storage ring. Inside the bottle was the other shore floating life powder.

"This is the other shore floating life powder." Cao Bu handed the jade bottle to Yun Shang, explaining calmly: "Find an opportunity to give it to Gu Feng. It will cause Gu Feng's Physical Body and Primordial Spirit to fall into dormancy, trapping him forever in boundless darkness, unable to ever wake up."

Yun Shang's gaze fell on the jade bottle, then she looked up at Cao Bu, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes, but she didn't reach out to take it immediately.

Cao Bu sighed inwardly, just as he expected.

Although this woman cared for him, his importance in her heart was probably only comparable to Gu Feng's position in her heart back then.

It was far from being 100% loyal, and she wouldn't help him without question like Su Li and Ye Linglong.

Just at this moment.

Above the Gu Clan's sky.

A terrifying Emperors Might permeated the air, like an invisible giant wave, pressing down on the low-lying clouds, causing them to tremble slightly.

Immediately after, an angry female voice pierced through the clouds, echoing above the Gu Clan: "Gu Feng, get out here for this Emperor!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Yun Shang's pupils constricted slightly, and she quickly said to Cao Bu: "Big Brother, my mother is here, I'll go see her first."

Before her words finished, she hastily turned and practically ran off.

Cao Bu silently put away the jade bottle containing the other shore floating life powder, his face showing no surprise.

There was still a big difference between 5% and 4% inheritance progress.

He lightly lifted his foot and quietly followed Yun Shang.

Yun Shang transformed into a streak of light, swiftly flying towards the figure radiating Emperors Might.

Before she even got close, an urgent and chiding question was already sent over.

"Mother, why are you only coming now!"

Cao Bu stood in the corridor outside Lingxiao Courtyard, looking at the distant graceful figure standing in the clouds, a hint of obscure light flashing in his eyes.

The beautiful woman was wearing a sapphire blue dress, its tight tailoring perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure.

Her prominent chest supported the fabric in a graceful curve, her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, and the pair of long, beautiful legs revealed beneath the skirt appeared even fairer and more shapely against the backdrop of the clouds, every line exuding the allure of a mature woman.

Her long hair was loosely tied up with a lustrous white hairpin, with a few wisps falling by her neck, gently swaying with the breeze.

Sapphire earrings dangled from her earlobes, reflecting the sunlight and complementing the sparkle in her eyes.

Most captivating were her amorous eyes, with slightly upturned outer corners, exuding endless charm with every glance.

The newcomer was none other than Yun Shang's mother, the Mistress of Yunxiao Pavilion — Lu Qingwu.

A top-tier expert with Emperor Realm Triple cultivation.

Seeing Yun Shang fly over, the anger on Lu Qingwu's face slightly receded.

"It's all because I was delayed by the trivial matters of the Heavenly Pride Battle."

"Your father is in seclusion again, so all the big and small matters in the Sect have to be handled by me personally. How could I have so much free time?"

"Father is in seclusion?" Yun Shang was full of surprise, and quickly asked: "Is he going to Break through to a higher Realm?"

Lu Qingwu nodded gently, her fingertips tracing her sleeve: "It's hard to say if he can Break through."

"By the way, where's Gu Feng?" She changed the subject, her tone sinking again: "You messaged me earlier, saying you suffered so much grievance in the Gu Clan, and you even said you wanted to divorce Gu Feng..."

"Mother!" Before Lu Qingwu could finish, Yun Shang quickly stepped forward and covered her red lips, her eyes filled with panic.

Lu Qingwu was startled by her daughter's sudden action, her eyes full of confusion.

She had specifically come to back up her daughter, so why wouldn't her daughter let her speak?

Just then, Yun Shang's voice transmitted into her mind: "Mother, I've thought it through, I won't divorce Gu Feng."

With that, she slowly released her hand from Lu Qingwu's red lips.

Lu Qingwu became even more puzzled and quickly transmitted a question back: "Then why did you describe yourself as so wronged in your message before, even saying you wanted a divorce? What's going on?"

"It's nothing, nothing." Yun Shang quickly waved her hand, her tone carrying a hint of guilty evasion: "It was just a small spat with Gu Feng before, we've already made up now, so please don't mention it again."

What she didn't say was that her unwillingness to divorce was entirely because of Cao Bu.

If she really divorced Gu Feng, according to clan rules, she would have to leave the Gu Clan.

Once she left the Gu Clan, she and Cao Bu would be separated, making it difficult to ever meet privately again.

After much thought, she ultimately couldn't bear to part.

After this period of time together, she had confirmed that she couldn't leave Cao Bu, couldn't leave this man who haunted her dreams and from whom she couldn't extricate herself.

Even if she could only meet him privately, it was better than losing him forever.

"Really made up?" Lu Qingwu was still a little uneasy, her gaze sweeping over the Gu Clan's mountain gate, and she asked again: "Where's that brat Gu Feng? Since you've made up, why isn't he coming out to see me?"

"Mother, we really have made up!" Yun Shang quickly emphasized, afraid that Lu Qingwu would press further: "As for Gu Feng, he's currently in seclusion to Cultivate and Break through to a higher Realm, so he really can't come out to see you."

Lu Qingwu scrutinized Yun Shang, seeing her cheeks flushed with a healthy glow and her eyes bright and spirited, showing no sign of the grievances mentioned in her previous message. Only then did she slightly relax.

She playfully poked Yun Shang's forehead: "Then why didn't you message me beforehand? Do you think I've been very idle lately?"

As soon as her words fell, she seemed to suddenly discover something, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed: "You've Broken through to the Realm King Realm?"

Yun Shang nodded, just about to say something more, when two figures slowly stepped through the air.

It was Leng Yue and Su Li.

"Mother of the In-Law, you've had a long journey, please come in." Leng Yue was the first to step forward, speaking politely but glaring at Yun Shang in annoyance.

This damned girl really called her mother over.

However, looking at Lu Qingwu's attitude, it didn't seem like she was here to demand an explanation. Could it be that Yun Shang really had a change of heart?

Lu Qingwu took the hint and replied with a smile: "Alright, it's a good opportunity to chat with Mother of the In-Law."
