Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Husband, Can You Stay with Me Tonight? The Lord of the County Governor’s Mansion, Yang Xuan!

“Husband, are you injured!?” As soon as she arrived at Ling Xiyue’s room, Ling Xiyue immediately showed a look of concern. She had been very worried about Lu Qingxuan going to subdue the other three major families.

After all, the strength of those three families was considerable in Beiyuan County—how could she not be concerned?

“Don’t worry, I’m not injured! From now on, the power structure of Beiyuan County will be dominated by our Lu Royal Mansion.” Lu Qingxuan took Ling Xiyue’s delicate hand and smiled.

Perhaps because they had practiced the Kun Technique together so often, seeing Lu Qingxuan’s gesture this time, Ling Xiyue didn’t blush at all. Even her way of addressing Lu Qingxuan had changed to “Husband,” making everything feel much closer and less formal than before.

Hearing that Lu Qingxuan wasn’t injured and that the Royal Mansion had achieved a great victory, Ling Xiyue felt immense joy in her heart.

“Xiyue, this time I’ve brought you some resources.” As he spoke, Lu Qingxuan took out a storage ring and placed it in Ling Xiyue’s hand.

Ling Xiyue scanned it with her divine sense, her expression turning to shock.

“This …” Through her divine sense, she immediately detected numerous high-tier pills, spiritual liquids, and other resources. “Husband, you’ve given me too much! How could I alone need so many resources!”

Though Ling Xiyue verbally declined, she was secretly delighted in her heart. How could she not be happy to be so cherished by Lu Qingxuan?

Lu Qingxuan shook his head. “Have you forgotten? You’re not alone now—you have our child too. These resources were specially selected for you. They include not only pills to boost your cultivation but also many spiritual medicines to nourish your body and the baby.”

Prompted by Lu Qingxuan’s reminder, Ling Xiyue recalled the child in her womb. Since she had only recently become pregnant and her belly showed no signs yet, she often forgot about the little life inside her.

Since Lu Qingxuan had put it this way, Ling Xiyue didn’t refuse further and accepted the resources.

“Then thank you, Husband!” Ling Xiyue’s beautiful eyes softened with affection as her lips parted slightly.

Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly, then took out a glazed porcelain bottle and carefully placed it in Ling Xiyue’s hand.

“This is a portion of the Embryonic Nirvana Immortal Spirit Liquid. It can lay a strong foundation for the child’s innate talent and physique. Just drink a small cup every two or three days!”

For the pregnant Ling Xiyue, Lu Qingxuan was extremely attentive, ensuring she had all the nourishment she needed.

Hearing Lu Qingxuan’s words, Ling Xiyue’s eyes widened in surprise. She hadn’t expected her husband to acquire such a precious immortal spiritual medicine.

Even the royal family of the Lingyun Dynasty didn’t possess such an immortal spiritual liquid! She felt that her husband was far from ordinary—how else could he obtain such a rare prenatal immortal spiritual liquid? She didn’t believe something so extraordinary could be found in Beiyuan County!

However, she didn’t care about the origin of this spiritual medicine—as long as her husband treated her well, that was enough.

“Mm, I understand!” Ling Xiyue nodded slightly and put away the immortal spiritual liquid.

Seeing that his business here was done, Lu Qingxuan prepared to leave, casually saying,

“Then rest well and take care of the baby. I’ll be going now.” As he spoke, Lu Qingxuan started to rise.

But Ling Xiyue grabbed his hand, saying tenderly, “Husband, can you stay with me tonight?” Her voice was soft, almost like a whisper. After speaking, she lowered her head, seemingly a bit shy.

Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan glanced at the beauty before him. Since learning of Ling Xiyue’s pregnancy, he hadn’t practiced the Kun Technique with her again. Based on memories from Blue Star, it was generally advised to avoid intimacy in early pregnancy, so Lu Qingxuan had restrained himself.

But in this mystical world, for two Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators like Lu Qingxuan and Ling Xiyue, this wasn’t a significant issue.

Now, seeing the beauty in this state, Lu Qingxuan’s heart couldn’t help but stir.

“Alright, I’ll stay here with you tonight.” With that, Lu Qingxuan flicked his finger, extinguishing all the lights in the room. Then, the two embarked on another journey of the Kun Technique.

…

The news of the Zhou, Han, and Fang families of Beiyuan County being wiped out by the Lu family couldn’t be concealed for long. In just three or four days, the news spread throughout Beiyuan County.

Immediately, it caused a massive uproar, stirring up a storm of shock and awe.

Many forces in Beiyuan County were astonished. Hadn’t the Lu Royal Mansion suffered a significant loss of strength due to the sea beast tide? How had they managed to annihilate the other three major families so soon after? This staggering achievement immediately sparked suspicion among many cultivators.

Driven by curiosity, various forces sent people to investigate the true state of the Lu Royal Mansion.

At the same time,

In the heart of Beiyuan County, at the County Governor’s Mansion, Governor Yang Xuan stood by a waterside pavilion, holding some fish food and scattering it into the pond.

Behind him, an elderly man was reporting something to him. When the elder finished relaying the news of the three families’ destruction, Yang Xuan had also finished scattering the fish food.

“This new Lord of the Lu Royal Mansion—it seems I underestimated him before! To wipe out the Zhou, Han, and Fang families in less than half a year, it seems the Lu family’s strength isn’t as weak as it appears on the surface. To kill those old fogeys from the three families, one would need at least the cultivation of the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm. Could the Lu family have a Soul Palace Realm expert? Or perhaps, in this short time, the Lu family received some powerful inheritance or external assistance?”

Yang Xuan watched the carp in the pond fighting over the food, his brows furrowed as he murmured softly.

He didn’t care about the three families being destroyed by the Lu family, but he was intrigued by the sudden rise of the Lu Royal Mansion.

“Sir, could the Lu family have received help from a royal figure through their connection to the Fifth Princess?”

The reporting elder asked curiously.

“Impossible. The royal family wouldn’t stoop to something so beneath their dignity.”

“Now that those three families are gone, the dynasty won’t intervene, but I wonder if the Jingyang Royal Mansion behind them will blame my Governor’s Mansion? I’ll need to prepare a good explanation in advance.”

A few traces of contemplation flashed in Yang Xuan’s eyes. As a county governor under the dynasty, he had never aligned himself with any faction beneath the dynasty, remaining loyal solely to the dynasty’s emperor. But now, with several family forces under his jurisdiction tied to a princely mansion in the royal capital, he needed to carefully consider his response.

After a long moment, Yang Xuan let out a slight sigh.

“Fine. In a couple of days, I’ll personally visit the Lu Royal Mansion to assess the situation. The last time this Lord of the Lu Royal Mansion took over and held his wedding, I wasn’t in Beiyuan County. Now’s a good chance to meet this new lord.”

After pondering for a while without a clear plan, Yang Xuan decided to visit the Lu Royal Mansion first.
