Chapter 143 – Is this love?


Li Changqing could sense the extraordinary strength of the woman. Although her cultivation was also at the Grandmaster Realm, it seemed that the technique she practiced was very powerful. The young girl, on the other hand, was only in the Postnatal Realm, but he could feel that she had a peerless demeanor that surpassed everyone present. There was even a kind of overwhelming aura about her.

This feeling made Li Changqing feel very mysterious, unable to pinpoint what it was.

“Sorry, everyone, I’m late.” The woman stepped forward and bowed respectfully to everyone present. Her voice was as refreshing as a spring breeze, warming the hearts of those who heard it, seemingly flawless.

“Miss Hanyan, you’re too polite.” The crowd responded courteously.

“Did only one person come from Guanglan Palace?” Zhang Yuanzhi curiously approached the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Because apart from her, there was no one else on the scene.

“Our Guanglan Palace is vast but sparsely populated, and we have few disciples, so only one came.” Lu Hanyan replied with a smile, “One person is enough. We just want this child to gain some experience.” All the disciples turned their attention to the girl, who was scanning the crowd. Everyone who met her gaze felt a chill.

It was as if their souls had been frozen. She was really too cold, completely unapproachable. What was going on with her that made everyone shudder?

“Is this the genius from Guanglan Palace that is spoken of in legends?” An old man stepped forward and looked at the girl, saying solemnly, “I heard she was born from the falling stars, a child of heaven and earth, with unparalleled talent. She cultivated from an ordinary person to the Postnatal Realm in just six months?” As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.

Born from heaven and earth? Transformed from stars? How could such an outrageous thing happen? Even Lu Hanyan chuckled, “You’re joking. There’s no one who’s transformed from stars. It’s just that the rumors from the outside world are a bit exaggerated. Her name is Lu Shiran, just an ordinary human. I found her four months ago and took her as my disciple. Her talent is indeed good, and she has cultivated to this point in four months. Moreover, this child is very diligent, that’s all.” Hearing Lu Hanyan’s words, everyone fell silent.

Cultivating to the Postnatal Realm in four months? Which of the disciples present wasn’t a genius of their sect?

They considered themselves the pride of heaven, usually held in high esteem in their sects, but now, seeing Lu Shiran, who dared to consider themselves a genius?

The most talented person they had ever seen took at least a year to cultivate from an ordinary person to the Postnatal Realm, right?

That speed was already fast enough. Cultivating to the Postnatal Realm in four months, this undoubtedly slapped all the genius disciples present in the face.

Lu Shiran’s eyes were devoid of any spirit, as if the people in front of her had nothing to do with her, and even the whole world held no attraction for her.

But at this moment, Lu Shiran suddenly walked out. It seemed she had noticed something and headed towards the crowd.

Lu Hanyan was somewhat curious when she saw Lu Shiran walking out. This child rarely spoke to people and was very cold to everyone. It was even less likely that she would take the initiative to approach people. Where was she going now?

Seeing Lu Shiran approaching, the disciple at the front suddenly changed his expression and instinctively stepped back.

For some reason, Lu Shiran’s aura was particularly strong, and even the disciples who were stronger than Lu Shiran were inclined to avoid her.

She walked straight to the disciple from Dao Mountain Ancient Land. Xue Qianbai watched the girl in front of him without saying anything, letting her walk forward until she reached the middle of the disciples.

The one leading was Nan Haofei. His pupils contracted, and as Lu Shiran approached, Nan Haofei had a feeling that the girl in front of him was a true pearl of heaven. Any glory of his own could not shine in front of her, and he felt as insignificant as a grain of sand in the sea.

He even had an impulse to kneel down and submit at her feet. Nan Haofei’s breathing became irregular, and he staggered back, instinctively making way for Lu Shiran.

The disciples behind him did the same, all dodging out of the way. Finally, Lu Shiran stopped, and a figure appeared in her gaze.

It was Li Hengsheng. Li Hengsheng looked at Lu Shiran in front of him. It was his first time seeing this girl, and he had to admit, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

But she didn’t inspire any feelings of closeness. She was like a block of ice, devoid of any emotion.

At the same time, Li Hengsheng also had a feeling, a sense of empathy, as if there was something about Lu Shiran that attracted him.

Facing Lu Shiran’s powerful aura, Li Hengsheng did not back down. The two stood facing each other, their gazes colliding.

A hint of confusion appeared in Lu Shiran’s calm eyes. Like Li Hengsheng, she didn’t know why, but there was something about Li Hengsheng that attracted her. That’s why Lu Shiran had come to Li Hengsheng, wanting to see what was different about him.

But no matter how she looked, Lu Shiran couldn’t figure it out. Li Changqing watched from a distance, pondering, “Could this girl have taken a liking to my son? She is indeed very beautiful, but she seems emotionless, too impersonal. When I get old and can’t move, she might even kick me out for eating the food at home.”

“No, no, Lu Lu is the best. If Lu Shiran wants to marry into the family, she can at most be a concubine. She definitely can’t be the main wife.”

“Hmm… But if she gives birth to a little girl in the future, it would be fine if she’s as beautiful as her mother, but her personality can’t be the same. It would be better if she’s more lively. Ah, it would be best if they were twins. What should I name the child…” Li Changqing’s thoughts had already diverged, thinking about things far in the future.At this moment, all eyes in the world were fixed on Li Hengsheng and Lu Shiran. The other disciples also noticed Li Hengsheng.

Especially those disciples who had just been passed by Lu Shiran, they subconsciously made way for her, but Li Hengsheng was able to stand face to face with Lu Shiran without retreating.

Who is this man?

“There’s something about you that’s attracting me,” Lu Shiran said faintly at this moment.

“I feel it too,” Li Hengsheng did not deny, he also felt the difference in Lu Shiran, what exactly was this attraction?

“What is it?” Lu Shiran asked.

“I don’t know,” Li Hengsheng shook his head. Hearing Li Hengsheng’s answer, Lu Shiran’s eyes fell into confusion, then she suddenly turned back to look at Lu Hanyan in the distance and said, “Master, is this what you call love?”

“Pfft!” Everyone couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Lu Hanyan was also stunned. What nonsense about love.

You two are meeting for the first time, where does love come from? This answer simply shocked everyone, and Li Hengsheng was also embarrassed. Was there something wrong with this young girl’s brain?

Have we met before? You just said it’s love. Before Lu Hanyan could speak, Lu Shiran said seriously, “I remember you once told me, Master, that when you first met my grandmaster, you felt this way. You felt that there was something particularly attractive about him, and then you fell in love. That’s what love is.”

“I feel that there’s something about him that attracts me, this should be love, right?” Lu Shiran’s eyes were waiting for Lu Hanyan’s confirmation.

For a moment, Lu Hanyan was somewhat speechless. She had no idea what was attracting Lu Shiran to Li Hengsheng.

“You misunderstood,” Li Hengsheng quickly explained to Lu Shiran, “Love is not like this, love is… a feeling of heart palpitations, a desire to protect the other person.”

“I do have a feeling of heart palpitations,” Lu Shiran said seriously, “As soon as I came here, I had this feeling, and it’s not present in anyone else, only in you.”

“As for the impulse to protect you, I don’t have that yet,” Lu Shiran pondered, “Could it be because I haven’t taken a certain step?”

“A certain step?” Li Hengsheng was stunned.

“I’ve read about it in books,” Lu Shiran said calmly, “I heard that when two people in love consummate their relationship, the feeling will be different, and sometimes this is how love is born. I don’t know what love is, but I want to try it. After the Ghost Devil trial is over, come to Guanglan Palace, let’s consummate our relationship and see if there will be any changes.” Lu Shiran’s words shocked the entire audience.

“What a straightforward girl!” Li Changqing was also amazed, was this girl lusting after his son’s body?

“Shiran!” Lu Hanyan’s face changed drastically, and she quickly reprimanded. Li Hengsheng was even more dumbfounded, he suspected that he was being teased.

“What’s wrong, Master?” Lu Shiran turned back to Lu Hanyan with a puzzled face, “Master, didn’t you always tell me to be a normal girl? You said that I would meet someone who would make my heart beat, and there would be a love that would be engraved in my heart. When that time comes, I won’t be a freak in the eyes of others, right?”

“I’ve met him, why aren’t you happy?” Lu Shiran was full of confusion, she was completely following what her master had said, where did she go wrong?

“I…” Lu Hanyan didn’t know how to explain. Her gaze also turned to Li Hengsheng, she didn’t know what was attracting Lu Shiran to Li Hengsheng, but something was clearly wrong.

At this moment, the people present could somewhat see that there was something wrong with Lu Shiran, her thought process was different from normal people.

“I’m sorry, I already have someone I like. So we can’t have love, and I can’t possibly consummate with you,” Li Hengsheng didn’t know how to explain to this woman who seemed to be missing a screw in her brain, he could only say that he already had someone he liked.

“Oh?” Lu Shiran raised an eyebrow, and then her voice suddenly turned cold, “Master said that there are many heartless people in this world. If the person you love ultimately abandons you and chooses someone else, the best way is to kill him directly.”

“Master said, this kind of man is called a scumbag.” After saying that, an astonishing killing intent suddenly erupted from Lu Shiran!

In an instant, dazzling starlight burst out from Lu Shiran! Countless stars formed a star map behind Lu Shiran, and she transformed into a celestial goddess, an overwhelming pressure swept over like a wave.

Those disciples near Lu Shiran immediately changed their faces and retreated in panic! Even the disciples who had reached the peak of the acquired stage were terrified.

What kind of martial arts is this? Li Hengsheng’s pupils shrank! Was there something wrong with Lu Shiran, she actually wanted to kill him?

How did he become a scumbag? But Li Hengsheng couldn’t just sit and wait for death, he tightly held the Chasing Immortal Spear in his hand.

“Stop!” At this moment, Lu Hanyan’s figure appeared next to Lu Shiran, her palm landed on Lu Shiran’s shoulder, and the stars behind Lu Shiran instantly collapsed.

Silent and desolate. That momentum disappeared without a trace in an instant. Lu Shiran looked at her master with a puzzled face, “Master, why won’t you let me kill this heartless man?”

“Stop it, come back with me,” Lu Hanyan said without any explanation, pulling Lu Shiran away.

“Scumbag, you wait for me,” Lu Shiran turned back and shouted at Li Hengsheng. At this moment, Li Hengsheng was staring blankly at Lu Shiran, not because Lu Shiran called him a scumbag, but because he knew what was attracting him to Lu Shiran.

He also knew why they were attracted to each other. Lu Shiran also had a divine body. That’s why it was attracted to his Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body.”Zhou Tian Star God Body.” At this moment, Zhou Jun walked up to Li Hengsheng, clicking his tongue in amazement, “Fourth Brother, your wife is quite impressive. She has actually cultivated the divine body that is rarely cultivated in Guanglan Palace. Truly a genius! But your days ahead won’t be easy, she might domestically abuse you at any time.”

“Senior Brother, stop joking around.” Li Hengsheng’s face was serious at this moment. He hadn’t expected Lu Shiran to possess a divine body.

What Li Hengsheng hadn’t expected even more was that Lu Shiran’s Zhou Tian Star God Body was actually suppressing his own divine body.

His Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body was not inferior to her divine body. However, the difference was that his Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body had not yet reached the beginner level.

But Lu Shiran’s divine body had already been cultivated to the minor achievement realm.

“What a terrifying woman.” Li Hengsheng shook his head. He knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate a divine body, but this woman had only been cultivating for four months and had already cultivated her divine body to the minor achievement realm.

She was truly a monster! After a farce, the scene became silent. Only Li Changqing was still tirelessly naming his future granddaughter.

At this moment, a huge formation appeared in the sky above the abyss of the canyon. The power of space-time flowed on the formation, extremely dazzling!

“The Ghost Devil has opened!” Someone exclaimed. At this moment, a person walked out from the Ghost Devil formation.

The newcomer had a somewhat lazy appearance, with a sword hanging around his waist. The sheath of the sword was shimmering with a deep blue glow. His gaze swept over everyone, making everyone feel as if they were being seen through.

“Since you’re all here, come in.” The newcomer slowly said.

“It’s Lin Qingyi.” Li Changqing didn’t expect to see Lin Qingyi here again.
