“That’s right.”

Nangong Mili frankly admitted.

After all, this was her purpose for coming.

If she denied it, saying she came just for revenge would seem too fake.

But this man mentioned it proactively, did he want to nurture her Golden Core?

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, gently caressing Nangong Mili’s coldly beautiful cheek, whispering: “You know, as your husband, I always bend to gentleness rather than strength.”

Nangong Mili’s eyes were clear and narrow, like swirling smoke on water, understanding what he meant.

If she wanted to nurture the Golden Core, she had to yield and ask him.

They already had this relationship, and being treated this way now, lowering her head and yielding didn’t seem like a big deal.

After all, compared to the opportunity of the Golden Core, what’s yielding?

Many people want it but can’t obtain it!

But thinking about everything between herself and Lu Changsheng, Nangong Mili couldn’t lower her head.

“Hehe, I don’t ask much of you, just speak nicely.”

Lu Changsheng’s handsome face, eyes warm, spoke gently.

Upon hearing these calm words, an indescribable feeling surged within Nangong Mili.

This wretched man was like a storm earlier, but he didn’t mistreat her as he did back then.

Otherwise, with this wretched man’s physique, even though she was a Nascent Soul Immortal, she’d still…

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had helped heal her injuries in the past and gifted her an Exotic Treasure.

Now, he suppressed her, but it was her who initiated, indirectly saving her life.

Even the recent humiliation she endured was… sparked by her provoking him.

Thinking this way, Nangong Mili suddenly felt that maybe it was her fault.

“Alright, tell me about the years passed, as I have genuinely cared about you and Yaoyao.” S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lu Changsheng continued to speak gently, pulling Nangong Mili into his embrace, resting his chin on her silky hair.

Even though Nangong Mili knew Lu Changsheng’s appearance was deceitful, she softened a bit, speaking softly: “After my injuries healed mostly, I traversed the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range with Xiaochan back to Jin Kingdom.”

“As for other things, there’s nothing much to say.”

She understood that Lu Changsheng, unlike many righteous cultivators, didn’t hold too much of a difference between righteousness and demonic paths.

But ultimately, he wasn’t a demonic path cultivator.

There was nothing to say about her doings in the Five Poisons Cult to Lu Changsheng.

“Traversing the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range…”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, aware of Nangong Mili’s situation and the danger she and Meng Xiaochan faced crossing the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Moreover, traveling from the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to Jin Kingdom required taking a large detour.

“What about Yaoyao?”

Lu Changsheng continued to inquire, being the matter he cared about most.

“Yaoyao is my daughter, has nothing to do with you!”

“Lu Changsheng, I warn you, don’t have any ideas about her!”

Nangong Mili immediately said with vigilance.

Yet her exquisitely beautiful face still held a trace of spring charm that made her appear enchanting and rendered her utterly lacking in intimidation.

“She is my daughter, how can I not care for her?”

Lu Changsheng replied helplessly.

Nonetheless, from Nangong Mili’s reaction, he understood she truly loved her daughter dearly, needing no worry about her daughter being bullied.

As for whether the daughter had grown crooked, Lu Changsheng wasn’t concerned anymore.

Having such a mother and growing up in Five Poisons Cult, it’d be a miracle if she didn’t.

Thus, Lu Changsheng had mentally prepared in advance to avoid disappointment when they met.

“Humph, whatever you say, she’s my daughter and has nothing to do with you.”

Nangong Mili coldly fixed her elegant eyes, not yielding even a bit.

Her daughter Nangong Yaoyao was her bottom line.

Even if she wanted Lu Changsheng to nurture her Golden Core, she wouldn’t hand her daughter over to him.

“Jin Kingdom, places like the Five Poisons Cult are ultimately not good places; Yaoyao growing up in such an environment isn’t good.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.

“What’s wrong with the Five Poisons Cult! Is it better at your Bi Lake Mountain!?”

Nangong Mili was instantly annoyed.

Although the demonic path had a bad reputation.

For her, righteous and demonic were the same; where’s the righteousness better?

Moreover, she was the Heavenly Spider Envoy of Five Poisons Cult; her daughter had access to abundant resources and future prospects, expected to achieve Core Formation, even capable of Nascent Soul.

In Bi Lake Mountain, this wretched man’s wives and children were countless; what would he provide her daughter?

“Alright, tell me about Yaoyao’s situation?”

Lu Changsheng saw she was exasperated, embraced her graceful figure, smoothing her silky hair while enjoying her fragrant scent.

Unsure whether it was due to her cultivation method or the effect of the Profound Yin Charming Body, the fragrance was delightful.

“…”

Nangong Mili’s fleeting emotions quickly dissipated.

She realized this man was truly changeable.

When he was opposing her earlier, it was as if…, now he’s unexpectedly gentle.

However, this gentle demeanor made Nangong Mili feel a wave of tenderness surge within.

“Yaoyao is doing well; she has already broken through to Foundation Establishment and can stand on her own.”

Nangong Mili spoke softly, eyes gleaming with pride.

Her daughter’s talent far exceeded her mother’s; her future accomplishments would surpass hers, making her deeply proud of her daughter Nangong Yaoyao.

Yet thinking about being away for so long, missing her daughter, a sense of longing arose within her.

Since her daughter’s birth, she had always been by her side.

“Later, I’ll accompany you to Jin Kingdom, and we’ll visit Yaoyao.”

Lu Changsheng found Nangong Mili’s demeanour amusing, pinching her cheek.

“No! She’s my daughter and has nothing to do with you!”

Hearing this, Nangong Mili immediately lost her temper again, pushing Lu Changsheng away, speaking coldly.
