Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 553 - 551: Qing Yu: No Wonder He Refused the Celestial Tier Technique—He Can Actually…

Facing these black mist demons, Lu Ye initially wanted to take action, but unexpectedly, someone... a spirit beast acted faster than him.

Suddenly, the Thunder God Lion opened its mouth wide, unleashing a powerful suction force.

All the approaching black mist demons were drawn in, entering the mouth of Qing Yu’s spirit beast.

"It also has the ability to devour these demons?" Seeing this, Lu Ye was slightly surprised.

Bang!

Qing Yu first smacked the Thunder God Lion’s head, saying softly, "Swallowing anything dirty, aren’t you afraid of bursting?"

Then, she nodded towards Lu Ye, "Little Ten is not afraid of these things."

Indeed, after being reprimanded by Qing Yu, the Thunder God Lion seemed accustomed to it, even showing a hint of not being fully satisfied.

After this wave of black mist invasion, no other incidents occurred in the latter half of the night.

Lu Ye was in his tent meditating.

As he began practicing the Ancient Star Scripture, even without specifically activating the Star Sword Body, his connection to the celestial stars was notably stronger than before.

The moment it was activated, the stars in the night sky brightened instantly, radiating more brilliant light.

Invisible energy in the void was absorbed and refined by Lu Ye through the cultivation technique.

About three meters away in another tent, Qing Yu originally also wanted to cultivate.

But after meeting her long-lost fiancé today, she found her mind unable to calm down.

In such conditions, cultivation is naturally inappropriate, easily leading to distractions and inner demons.

"Sigh... How can I fulfill my duties as a close maid?"

Qing Yu was somewhat distressed, thinking she should have insisted more when she was in the Jiang Family, following what other maids do!

Now it’s even harder for her to take action...

Suddenly, Qing Yu curiously glanced at the night sky through the gap in the unsealed tent.

"Hey... What’s that commotion?"

If she were still a little maid who knew nothing, she wouldn’t have sensed any change in the sky.

To a common person, it would merely seem that the stars grew somewhat brighter; nothing worth fussing over.

But now, Qing Yu’s knowledge was far beyond what it was back then, and she immediately recognized the change in the stars.

Suddenly, a somewhat shocking thought flashed through her mind...

"Could someone be causing these stars to move? Otherwise, while stars occasionally shine brighter, they wouldn’t linger this long."

"Indeed, there are hidden talents outside..."

Before finishing her sentence, Qing Yu felt something amiss.

Why did it seem that the stars’ illumination was focused directly under her part of the sky?

In the next moment, Qing Yu couldn’t help but shift her gaze towards the nearby tent.

"Could... could it be the fiancé?!"

Currently, within the several-mile radius, Qing Yu could sense only the two of them and the spirit beast.

There are no other people!

"What kind of cultivation technique is the fiancé using to even slightly move the star power?"

Qing Yu widened her eyes; though the magnitude of star power being moved wasn’t large, the ability to trigger such a change already indicated that this technique was exceptional.

Ordinary techniques could never induce such stellar transformations.

But she recalled that when the fiancé joined the Jiang Family, he married into the family.

Logically, he should have no substantial background.

"No wonder he previously rejected the Celestial Tier Lower Grade cultivation technique I offered."

Reflecting on recent events, Qing Yu started to understand.

It’s not that the Celestial Tier Lower Grade technique was bad, but the fiancé owned something even superior.

"I need to cultivate as well; even though the fiancé is much stronger than me, he’s still striving hard, I can’t just lay idle."

Instantly, Qing Yu felt motivated to become diligent in cultivating.

Nearby, the Thunder God Lion responsible for night watch, with wise eyes, gazed at its owner...

Unclear what kind of stimulation the owner received tonight.

...

Early the next morning, after tidying up, the two continued their journey.

"Fiancé, what happened between you and Miss Qingge?" After half a night of cultivation, Qing Yu felt refreshed and asked curiously.

Jiang Qingge...

Thinking momentarily, Lu Ye replied, "It’s going fine, much like before you left. She’s in Cloud Leaf City now, and she returned recently."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yu swiftly inferred from the information.

The fact that he knows Miss Qingge’s current whereabouts suggests they likely still have close contact, otherwise news would not be timely.

So, Miss Qingge hasn’t ended the engagement with the fiancé?

And Miss Lingyue...

Because Qing Yu had accompanied Lu Ye to a small courtyard she bought, she knew Jiang Lingyue repeatedly visited after finding Lu Ye.

Every time Miss Lingyue came over, the fiancé would go out.

Initially, Qing Yu didn’t think much of it, but now... wouldn’t the fiancé have... a good relationship with Miss Lingyue as well?

Lu Ye had no idea that his casual answer prompted Qing Yu’s mind to spin rapidly.

At this moment, while both were advancing at high speed, the Second Layer’s entrance finally appeared not far ahead.

At the Second Layer’s entrance, a glaring teleportation beam soared upwards, easily visible from dozens of miles away.

Currently, numerous cultivators also appeared nearby, preparing to use it to enter the Mist Heaven Hall’s Second Layer.

"Mist Heaven Hall’s Second Layer is rumored to be more expansive than the First Layer, with a greater chance of encountering opportunities," Qing Yu whispered.

Lu Ye was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something, turned his head, and saw a rapidly approaching team from afar.

"Let’s go."

Without hesitation, Lu Ye promptly led Qing Yu into the large teleportation beam, vanishing from sight.

Although the distance was considerable, Lu Ye’s keen vision allowed him to vaguely recognize the leader of that team.

It was the Sea Spirit Saintess he had briefly confronted previously!

Although the Sea Spirit Saintess offered reconciliation outside before, Lu Ye knew she probably wanted to reclaim her pride after being forced back in front of many by him.

Yet, Lu Ye was unwilling to tangle with the Sea Spirit Saintess; it was a waste of time with no real benefit.

Thus, he immediately took Qing Yu and left through the Second Layer’s teleportation array first.

Meanwhile.

Moments later, the Sea Spirit Saintess, accompanied by several disciples from the Sea Spirit Hall, swiftly arrived, scanning the surroundings keenly: "Did Chen Beixuan just leave from here?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators lingering around the teleport beam, hesitant about going to the Second Layer, quickly nodded.
