Chapter 209 The Desire to Become Stronger! The Ancestor's Urging to Marry.
Lei Hu, as the name suggests, is a tiger demon with the lightning attribute.
But the bloodline is not high.
Reaching the peak of the second tier is the limit.
Advancing to the third tier is almost impossible without a special opportunity.
Although its bloodline level is not high, its combat power is not to be underestimated because of its mastery of lightning, and it is no less than that of a typical early-stage third-tier demon beast.
He was considered a regional overlord in the Qingming Mountains.
Led by Zhang Xuanchen, they passed through Black Wind Valley and flew over the rubble towards Thunder Tiger's Nest.
They didn't choose to fly in the air because doing so would be like lighting a lantern in the toilet—a death wish.
In the jungle, there are trees and bushes for cover, plus the Concealing Breath Technique, at most only the monsters that notice them will cause trouble.
Once you're flying in the air, even if you've mastered the art of concealing your breath to perfection, it won't be of any use.
They will definitely be attacked by the monster horde.
"Second-grade mid-level Purple Sun Flower, the main ingredient for refining Purple Sun Pills. It can temper a cultivator's bones and muscles and increase the purity of a fire-attribute cultivator's spiritual power, Ancestor."
"A first-grade top-quality jadeite ore, this huge piece must weigh ten thousand catties, right? There are no ore veins here, how did it appear here? Ancestor."
……
"Damn it, a peak second-tier withered tree python! Ancestor, attack! Take its essence blood!"
……
That night.
The sky was pitch black, with no bright moonlight, only a few stars hanging high in the sky.
The entire mountain range was shrouded in darkness.
The mountain peaks were covered with rubble, and the wind whistled through the jagged rocks, sounding like the howling of a vengeful ghost.
Deep in the forest, bluish-gray weapons silently appeared, spreading outwards from the ground.
This startled the slumbering monster deep within, causing it to open its blood-red eyes and let out a series of low roars, muffled like thunder.
"Hehehe~ Waaaaah~"
The strange laughter and cries of children could be heard from within the fog.
The sound was sharp and piercing, echoing endlessly through the deep forest, sending chills down one's spine.
The bluish-gray mist continued to spread towards the central area without pause.
Zhongwei, a cave.
After sprinkling his homemade cumin and chili powder on the roasted lamb leg, Zhang Xuanchen picked it up and handed it to Luo Lingshuang, who was standing next to him, and said with a smile:
"Ling Shuang, here you go, a delicious roasted lamb leg."
Looking at the sizzling, fragrant roasted lamb leg that Zhang Xuanchen handed her, Luo Lingshuang replied:
"Xuan Chen, you eat first. The roasted lamb leg below will be ready soon."
I watched; I saw exactly how you grilled the meat.
There definitely won't be any problems.
After saying that, she stood up and came to Zhang Xuanchen's side, pushing Zhang Xuanchen outwards.
He placed his hands on the grill and began to flip the food with great practiced skill.
"You keep the old man company for a drink, I'll watch over things here."
Smelling the unique fragrance emanating from Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Xuanchen felt a sense of happiness welling up inside him for some reason.
Maybe that's what liking someone is.
His people live in peace and prosperity, and the people he loves are by his side. Isn't this what he has been hoping for?
How wonderful it would be if there were no strife, no deceit, in the world.
But Zhang Xuanchen also knew that if he wanted everything he desired, he needed to have sufficient strength.
We must strengthen ourselves as soon as possible.
Watching Luo Lingshuang constantly turning the lamb leg, Zhang Xuanchen smiled and said:
"Ling Shuang, apply oil while it's churning..."
As he spoke, he put the roasted lamb leg aside and brushed oil onto his hands.
Sometimes, if Luo Lingshuang didn't flip the lamb leg in time, Zhang Xuanchen would simply hold her little hand and flip it over.
Over the past few months, the two have grown even closer.
Physical contact is also unavoidable during this period.
They also understood each other's feelings.
Now all that's left is to break through the final barrier.
After correcting Luo Lingshuang's mistakes, Zhang Xuanchen walked over to Zhang Chongxian, who was engrossed in eating.
A bite of lamb leg, a sip of wine, and a refreshing fruit to cut through the richness—it was incredibly delicious.
He plopped down on the ground, picked up a green apple, and took a bite.
He then picked up the wine pot on the wooden board and filled Zhang Chongxian's cup, before pouring himself a cup as well.
He said, "Ancestor, you've had a hard time these past few days."
We have been in the Qingming Mountains for three days.
To save time, Zhang Chongxian usually took the lead, aiming to kill the opponent in one move.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxian waved his hand, raised his wine cup and clinked it against Zhang Xuanchen's, then drank it all in one gulp.
He said, "These are all minor matters, nothing difficult or hard."
Everything for the family.
By the way, Xiao Chen, you can't exploit your father again this time when you return to the family.
This time, the family's higher-ups have all made breakthroughs, but your father is still stuck in the late Foundation Establishment stage due to family affairs.
After you return to your clan, oversee the family and have your father go into seclusion to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
If you really have something to say, you can tell me, or you can tell Guangyao and the others.
We just made a breakthrough not long ago, so there's no need for seclusion anytime soon.
"You are the head of the Zhang family; there are some things you must do."
Hearing Zhang Chongxian's words, Zhang Xuanchen felt somewhat ashamed.
He was indeed an incompetent clan leader.
He also knew that his father really needed to break through.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "What the ancestor said is true, I've remembered it."
He will certainly shoulder the responsibilities of the clan leader.
As for the Dragon Essence, if my plan is feasible, a few days should be enough.
After all, Yunhua Immortal City has a teleportation array that leads to Forget-Worry Island.
"Hmm." Seeing that Zhang Xuanchen did not refuse, Zhang Chongxian nodded in satisfaction.
He then glanced at Luo Lingshuang, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
He transmitted his voice to Zhang Xuanchen, saying, "Xiao Chen is twenty years old this year, not young anymore, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
It's time to consider getting married.
Along the way, I've observed that you and Ling Shuang are deeply in love.
I hope that this time with the Hui people, you can find an opportunity to confess your feelings to that girl.
"To become husband and wife will extend the Zhang family bloodline."
"Huh?" Zhang Xuanchen didn't expect his ancestor's tone to change so drastically. He was just lecturing him, and now he's urging him to get married.
What kind of nonsense is this?
He scratched his head sheepishly and transmitted his voice, "Ancestor, isn't this too fast?"
I'm not ready yet.
He was indeed interested in Luo Lingshuang, but he hadn't yet received the necklace that Bai Zijing had made for him.
More importantly, he had absolutely no experience with this kind of thing.
I have absolutely no idea how to bring it up.
Although he sensed that Luo Lingshuang also had feelings for him, what if...?
What if I get rejected?
The more critical the moment, the more nervous I become, and the less I dare to take that step.
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Chongxian's tone became more serious, and he said, "What's so fast about it!"
How long have you known each other? What are you afraid of?
Moreover, given Ling Shuang's temperament, if she didn't have feelings for you, would she let you touch her?
They'd probably have been chopped into pieces long ago.
Isn't this just letting your concern cloud your judgment?
More importantly, with one of you at the late Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the difficulty of conceiving offspring is already very high.
Must we wait until everyone has broken through to the Golden Core stage before bringing this matter to light?
Your sister-in-law, Su Muyan, could have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage several years ago, so why didn't she choose to do so?
Isn't it all about increasing the chances of conceiving?
That's absolutely true. In the years since Su Muyan married Zhang Xuanbing, she has never chosen to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Despite this, there was still no sign of pregnancy.
This shows just how low the probability is for a cultivator to have offspring.
However, Zhang Xuanbing was seriously injured this time, and his strength was severely damaged, so he can spend more time at home with Su Muyan.
Maybe it will happen.
Zhang Xuanchen did not deny what Zhang Chongxian said.
If Luo Lingshuang had no feelings for him, she wouldn't have allowed him to get close to her.
And when it comes to confessing your feelings, do you expect the girl to take the initiative to say it?
That would be incredibly embarrassing for him.
Looking at Zhang Chongxian, he nodded seriously and transmitted his voice:
"Ancestor, I understand."
The two communicated through telepathy, so Luo Ling Shuang couldn't hear it, but Xiao Lian in her sea of consciousness heard it clearly.
A slight smile appeared on her fair and delicate face.
She naturally wouldn't stop it.
As the successor of Venerable Xuanlong and the master of the Three Lives Reincarnation Realm, her character is undoubtedly impeccable. Moreover, she possesses a heaven-defying physique that allows her to sense all kinds of opportunities, so she has no reason to stop her.
