The world of martial arts, the immortal swordsman in the mortal realm.

Chapter 135, 150: Master Rong: I, Xi Ling, one of the Five Greats, am not a fragile little thing made of water! [Seeking monthly votes!]

night.

Lu Chen closed his eyes and meditated, contemplating "the bright moon over the vast sea".

Half an hour later.

He opened his eyes, a strange look in them.

"They didn't even set up a backdoor..."

After several nights of meditation, he successfully visualized the bright moon over the vast sea in his mind.

Then he discovered that this "Contemplation Method of the Bright Moon over the Vast Sea" actually did not have any backdoor traps.

Although its application is limited and can only "guard the interior," it is indeed a complete visualization method.

"Is it because the visualization diagram itself is too complete, and adding a backdoor trap would destroy the original artistic conception and charm? Or is... the demoness playing the long game to catch a big fish?"

Even if it's the latter possibility, Lu Chen has nothing to fear.

With strong abilities and the ability to run fast, one is naturally fearless.

Since there's no problem with the visualization method, we can start modifying it to give it the ability to both guard the inner self and sense the outer world.

Lu Chen already had an idea on how to modify it, so he immediately closed his eyes and continued meditating.

In my mind, there was a vast blue sea, calm as a mirror, without waves, and no demons or evil spirits beneath its surface.

With the "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter" guarding the depths of Lu Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, no inner demons could arise, and evil spirits could not invade. The sea he visualized was naturally calm and clear, without any demonic shadows representing inner demons or external evils.

Above the sea, a full moon hung high, casting wisps of light like fine rain or clear snow.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, the full moon trembled slightly, becoming clear as water and transparent as a mirror, and some blurry images were faintly reflected in the center of the moon.

This was exactly the situation surrounding Lu Chen.

The blurry image reflected in the center of the moon trembled constantly, as if it might collapse at any moment.

But eventually it gradually stabilized, and the originally blurry and illusory picture became much clearer.

The myriad rays of moonlight, though still resembling drizzle and snow, now carried a touch of awe-inspiring sword intent, making them even more penetrating as they fell upon the sea below.

Once the moon had completely stabilized, Lu Chen also stopped meditating and opened his eyes.

"It's done!"

The new concept has been successfully developed.

It draws on the essence of the "Bright Moon over the Vast Sea" visualization method and integrates some of the Heart Sword techniques. The mind is like the bright moon, which can both suppress one's own mind and reflect the external situation, and perceive changes in the Qi.

Such a combination of "guarding the inner self and sensing the outer self" can be considered a complete spiritual secret method.

The reason why Lu Chen's creation was so successful was because the "Sword Four. Heart Sword" technique was a true immortal technique. When cultivated to a high level, it could sever other people's emotions and memories, and even erase their inner demons and primordial spirit.

Such wondrous magic, even if only a portion of its essence is used, can be applied to a high level or a low level, easily reshaping the "Bright Moon over the Vast Sea" visualization method.

Unfortunately, while the reshaped Canghai Mingyue visualization technique is stronger in "guarding the inner self," greatly increasing its power to suppress inner demons and ward off external evils, and also allowing it to perceive the outside world and understand the surrounding situation and changes in energy, it cannot possess the ability to attack the mind and spirit like Lu Chen's "Heart Sword."

There's no other way; the "Heart Sword" technique can only be practiced by those who possess the "Sword Intent Imprint."

Otherwise, Lu Chen wouldn't need to go to the trouble of creating new skills; he could simply pass the Heart Sword to Rong'er.

Fortunately, with the bright moon over the vast sea, one can reflect upon their physical body, greatly enhancing their control over their own essence and energy. After mastering the basics of cultivation, one can practice the third version of "Old Man's Fist," and it also greatly amplifies the cultivation of the "Pure Yin and Supreme Yang Dual Cultivation Method"—

With more refined and subtle control over the body's vital energy, the evolution of true energy into pure yin or pure yang, and the mutual complementation and generation of yin and yang, can be more precise and smooth.

After refining his newly created technique, Lu Chen got up and went to the courtyard. He reached out and grabbed at the weapon rack, and a long sword leaped into his hand.

This is not the "Dragon Capture and Crane Control" skill from the Tianlong world.

It was actually a little trick that Lu Chen developed based on the "Sword Wind Domain".

His sword wind domain can generate various pulling and pushing forces in different directions, much like an underwater current. Naturally, it can also exert force on objects from a distance and pull them in.

With his sword in hand, Lu Chen pondered for a moment before thrusting out his sword. Wherever the sword tip went, transparent ripples immediately spread through the air, transforming into wisps of sword wind that spread and expanded in all directions like spider silk, forming an invisible net.

Lu Chen wielded his sword leisurely, each strike a spontaneous and effortless act.

The sword wind quickly covered two zhang around him, evolving into an invisible storm like a deep-sea current.

Nearly a month has passed, and his "Sword Wind Domain" has expanded its coverage and increased in power.

When an enemy enters within two zhang of him, even if he can withstand the pull of the sword wind and the undercurrent, he will still have to expend extra true qi and energy.

With a casual flick of his sword, a brilliant azure light suddenly burst forth from the tip of Lu Chen's sword. As he thrust his sword forward, the light shattered, transforming into hundreds of tiny, needle-like fragments of azure light that rained down like a storm.

Sa...

Amidst the sharp whistling of the wind, a cloud of dust erupted from the courtyard wall three zhang away from Lu Chen.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the courtyard wall looked as if it had been hit by a rain of pear blossom needles, with countless tiny holes.

This technique of turning sword light into rain was inspired by Yang Xuyan's swordsmanship and evolved by combining it with Lu Chen's own swordsmanship.

Under the "rain of swords," even if the opponent's protective inner energy is strong enough to block the barrage of swords, their five senses will still be greatly disturbed.

When his "Heart Sword" becomes stronger in the future and he unleashes "Sword Rain," the power of the Heart Sword can be attached to the deep-sea-like sword wind and storm around him.

In this way, not only will the enemy's five senses be disturbed, but their spiritual perception will also be completely disrupted.

When Lu Chen fought Yang Xuyan, his senses had not yet caught up, which was like a blind man fighting a normal person with exceptionally sharp eyesight. Naturally, he was restrained at every turn and could not fully display his martial arts skills.

However, in the future, as the cultivation of "Heart Sword" increases, this situation will be reversed.

By then, he will be a normal person, and his opponent will become a blind man, both in appearance and mind.

After practicing his swordsmanship for a while, Lu Chen tossed the sword back onto the weapon rack, returned to his room, and began meditating to strengthen his muscles and bones.

Practicing alone is that simple and tedious.

……

Condor World.

The sun shines brightly on Peach Blossom Island.

Huang Rong sat listlessly under the eaves, her hand supporting her cheek, watching Li Mochou practice martial arts.

Engrossed in watching, and just as he was about to spar with her, Li Mochou quickly called out:
"Hey, Rong'er, don't move around, be careful not to upset the baby."

Before Lu Chen left, he brought Li Mochou over to take care of Rong'er. She did a great job during this time, washing clothes, cooking, serving tea and water, and taking meticulous care of Rong'er, although she was a little too strict.

Huang Rong rolled her eyes, speechless.

"It's only been a short time. Her belly hasn't even gotten big yet, how could it easily affect the fetus?"

Li Mochou looked serious:
"Brother Lu has already given instructions, saying that the first and last three months of pregnancy are riskier and one should not move around lightly. Senior Huang also said that during pregnancy, it's best to practice internal martial arts and do some old man's boxing, and not to think about fighting!"

"...I'm not that fragile!"

I am now Xi Ling, one of the Five Greats!

A peerless master!
Why does everyone treat me like a delicate young lady who can be blown away by the wind and faints after taking a few steps?
Huang Rong was very unhappy, and her little mouth was pouting.

Li Mochou laughed:
"Rong'er, you are a master, but the baby in your belly isn't!"

Upon hearing Li Mochou mention the baby, Huang Rong instinctively raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen.

It was flat, unchanged from before.

It is said that a pregnancy will only become noticeable around the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy?

Thinking about how her belly would grow bigger, Huang Rong felt both sweet and a little worried—would her belly look bad if it got bigger?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Li Mochou exclaim in surprise:
"Brother Lu!"

Huang Rong was startled and stood up, looking around. She saw Lu Chen standing under a tree full of bright peach blossoms, smiling at her.

"Brother Lu Chen!"

Huang Rong cheered and leaped seven or eight zhang in two steps, rushing into Lu Chen's arms, causing Li Mochou to cry out in alarm:
"Rong'er, be careful! Slow down!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, Huang Rong threw herself onto Lu Chen, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and gazing intently at him with her bright eyes.

Lu Chen embraced Rong'er's slender waist, which remained unchanged, and smiled as he looked at her.

After gazing at each other for a moment, Rong'er smiled sweetly, tiptoed, and kissed him on the lips.

Li Mochou was about to greet Lu Chen when she suddenly saw the two kissing each other as if no one else was around. Her fair face turned bright red in an instant, and she was at a loss for what to do for a while before she finally reacted. She quickly turned around, pressed her hand to her chest, and felt her heart pounding wildly.

Yes, Li Mochou is very innocent.

For her, even just seeing someone else kiss is a huge thrill.

She glanced sideways again and saw the two still kissing as if no one else was around. Li Mochou's cheeks were burning hot, and she didn't know when they would stop. She could only tiptoe out of the courtyard and close the gate behind her.

Li Mochou left, and Huang Rong and Lu Chen kissed even more passionately. Before she knew it, she had jumped onto Lu Chen, wrapped her legs around his waist, opened her front, and pushed up her undergarments, revealing her increasingly round and full breasts.

Lu Chen had been separated from her for over a month and missed her terribly. Just as he was about to bury himself in a big meal, he suddenly remembered Rong'er's current state and quickly stopped.

Huang Rong held his head in her hands, her jade-like neck tilted back, waiting patiently. When she saw him suddenly stop, she couldn't help but murmur:

"Brother Lu Chen, why aren't you kissing me anymore?"

"Not the time."

Lu Chen took a deep breath, his heart sword trembled, his mind cleared, and his desire subsided. He lightly pecked Rong'er's lips, raised his hand to straighten her clothes, and said with a smile:

"The first three months and the last three months are too risky, and we cannot be careless."

Lu Chen missed Huang Rong, but Huang Rong missed him just as much.

After more than a month apart, their kisses had left her longing for him, and even though it was daytime, she didn't want him to stop.

She pouted and acted coquettishly:

"But I feel perfectly fine, nothing's wrong with me."

"I'm just worried about the possibility. We can't afford to regret it later, can we?"

"I'm Xi Ling, one of the Five Greats! Why do you always treat me like a fragile little water sponge?"

Having spent a lot of time with Lu Chen, and even gone on trips to the main world with him, Huang Rong would occasionally utter some witty remarks that transcended the times. She even used literary nonsense like, "When a person is killed, they die. Seven days apart feels like a week. The higher one's martial arts skills, the higher one's level of mastery."

Lu Chen chuckled softly:
"In my eyes, isn't Rong'er just a fragile little thing made of water?"

Even so, Lu Chen knew what his beloved wife needed, so he picked her up and carried her into the small building:
"Of course, it's still okay to give Rong'er a good kiss..."

Since they couldn't get down to business, they could only use a "preliminary ceremony" to comfort Rong'er.

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong's pretty face flushed red, her eyes shimmered, and she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck, her heart filled with sweetness.

Less than half an hour later.

The air in Huang Rong's boudoir was filled with a delicate fragrance, as if dew had been poured over the flowers.

Huang Rong curled up in Lu Chen's arms, her fair and delicate skin flushed with a light rose-red. Her soft and tender body was so limp that it seemed as if all the bones in her body had been removed, and even her toes had no strength to move.

Lu Chen gently stroked her smooth back, looking at her long eyelashes still glistening with tears like scattered diamonds, and lightly kissed her cheek, smiling:

"Rong'er is indeed a little crispy thing made of water."

From Huang Rong's delicate nose came a soft, almost sobbing, whimpering sound:

"Brother Lu Chen, tell me about the new world."

"The new world I went to this time was the chaotic end of the Sui Dynasty. On the day I arrived, I happened to witness Yuwen Huaji's mutiny in Jiangdu..."

"Hmm, the end of the Sui Dynasty? What kind of masters could there be in that era?"

"There are plenty of experts there. Have you ever seen a city wall ten zhang high?"

"Ten zhang? How could there be a city wall ten zhang high in the world?"

Lu Chen laughed:

"The city wall of Xiangyang in the late Sui Dynasty that I visited was this high. And this wasn't even the highest. The reason the city wall was built so high was because the martial artists in that world were too strong, and if the city wall wasn't built high, it would have no purpose."

"The various lords and leaders of various forces must also be martial arts masters, otherwise they will not be able to withstand assassination attempts. Or their martial arts skills must at least be able to withstand the first round of attacks from assassins and hold out until their guards arrive to provide support, otherwise they will not survive for long."

"It is said that even Yang Guang was a great master in his youth, but he later became addicted to wine and women, and his martial arts skills deteriorated..."

Huang Rong clicked her tongue in amazement:
"This...it doesn't feel like our timeline. Is it some kind of branch of another timeline?"

"Hmm. Another branch of spacetime with a completely different origin. In that world, martial artists can even cultivate to become immortals, opening the gates of heaven with their swords and soaring through the void. Martial artists with ageless appearances and eternal youth are also commonplace..."

Lu Chen recounted the story to Rong'er in detail, telling her about the three grandmasters, Song Que of the Heavenly Blade, the Evil King Yin Hou, Cihang Jingzhai, and so on, leaving Rong'er amazed.

"Was the end of the Sui Dynasty very dangerous?"

“It was indeed very dangerous. When I first arrived, I was even suppressed and beaten for a while because of my weaknesses.”

"Huh? Even you got beaten up? Are you hurt?" Rong'er's tone became tense.

"Of course not. Rong'er knows my physique. I only suffered a minor injury, which healed on its own before I even had a chance to treat it."

"...Which of the three grandmasters hit you?"

Rong'er said angrily, looking like she was going to hold a grudge.

"Three Grandmasters? Rong'er, you think too highly of me."

Lu Chen chuckled to himself:

"That guy is called Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan. He's just an outstanding young master. Of course, he's currently the most famous assassin in the world. His master is Evil King Shi Zhixuan. He's very skilled and is one of the top young masters. Many established masters of the older generation might not be his match."

"However, he is still too young and still growing. Compared to the three grandmasters, he is far behind. He is probably the difference between a world-class expert and the Five Greats."

"The difference is so big..."

"Yes. But I have made up for my shortcomings and have also come to understand many new things. My strength has greatly improved. When I meet Yang Xuyan again, it will be his turn to be suppressed by me."

After chatting for a while, just as Lu Chen was about to teach Rong'er the "Pure Yin to Yang Dual Cultivation Method" and the "Bright Moon over the Vast Sea Visualization Method," Rong'er, who had regained some strength, suddenly rolled over and lay on top of him. She gazed into his eyes for a moment and said shyly:
"It's been over a month since we last met. Rong'er missed you, and you missed me too, but just now it was only you who kissed me; I couldn't let you have your fill..." Her eyes became misty, her cheeks flushed, and she looked exquisitely beautiful.
"I...I have a way..."

As she spoke, she bent down and gently kissed Lu Chen's chest, then awkwardly continued kissing him all the way down.

……

evening.

Huang Rong sat on a recliner, eating candied fruit while watching Lu Chen and Li Mochou engage in a battle of wits with a smile.

Lu Chen's swordsmanship became even more unpredictable. He actually used only a basic sword technique, a thrusting sword, without using any other moves, yet he still managed to force Li Mochou into a state of chaos.

Even though his sword strikes weren't fast—Huang Rong and Li Mochou could clearly see his sword path—Li Mochou still fought with her hands and feet tied, as if he had seen through every change in her movements and swordsmanship.

It should be noted that Li Mochou's current martial arts skills are not low.

The fundamental techniques include "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" and a second version of "Laotou Quan" as an auxiliary method.

Furthermore, before Rong'er became pregnant and was asked to come to Peach Blossom Island to take care of her, she had already been diligently cultivating in the ancient tomb for half a year, using the cold jade bed as an aid. She had already achieved some success in the Lesser Formless Skill, and her power had advanced by leaps and bounds.

She had also practiced the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), and combined with the Ancient Tomb Sect's unparalleled lightness skills, Li Mochou's lightness skills were no less than Rong'er's.

As for martial arts, Rong'er also taught her the Five Mountains Sword Technique, the Dugu Nine Swords, and the Xiaoyao Sect Sword Technique. During the month he took care of Rong'er, he even learned the "Star Shift" technique.

With such a luxurious set of martial arts skills, Li Mochou was confident that she could defeat Qiu Qianren just like Rong'er.

In her mind, even if Lu Chen was a divine sword above the Five Greats, with unparalleled martial arts, and could suppress the Five Greats of the world on his own, with her current martial arts, she could at least fight back once or twice in ten moves, and withstand a hundred or so moves, even if she couldn't fight back.
However, when they actually started fighting, she discovered that Lu Chen's martial arts skills had become even more incredible.

With just a simple, straightforward thrust, without any follow-up moves or variations, only the angle of the thrust was different, she was forced to dodge and defend with all her might.

Let alone being able to retaliate with a move or two, the fact that she has been able to hold on until now is only because Lu Chen has been holding back, and the speed of his sword strikes is still fast enough for her to see clearly and keep up with.

Lu Chen didn't even use the techniques of the Dugu Nine Swords.

Because Li Mochou also knew the Dugu Nine Swords, she knew how to hide her weaknesses and how to exploit them.

But everything she knew was useless in front of Lu Chen.

After fighting for more than a dozen more moves, Li Mochou finally couldn't continue and, with a mixture of helplessness and admiration, she sheathed her sword and admitted defeat.

"Brother Lu's martial arts skills are becoming more and more amazing."

Lu Chen smiled and said:

"It's not entirely because of improved martial arts skills. The key lies in perception."

"Perception?"

Li Mochou's eyes shone brightly as she waited for Lu Chen to explain.

Lu Chen said with a smile:

"I have mastered a special technique that gives me an insight far beyond my senses. I can not only see through your movements and moves, but also clearly perceive the flow of true energy and changes in force on your sword when you draw it."

"Since I know the changes in true qi and strength, then all of your follow-up moves are within my expectations. With a casual sword strike, I can seal off all your changes. Once the changes are sealed off, your skills in making up for weaknesses or even setting traps based on weaknesses will be useless."

In the world of Twin Dragons, masters with strong mental cultivation and keen senses of Qi all possess this skill.

Because the changes in moves are too easy for enemies to see through, the masters in the Twin Dragons world tend to focus more on momentum and intent than on the specific moves.

Although techniques and routines are the foundation of martial arts, true masters forget the techniques after learning them. Even their self-created special skills are basically based on "momentum" and "intention," and the techniques themselves do not have obvious routines.

Just like Ning Daoqi's "Eight Strikes of Sanshou", they are not eight rigid sets of moves, but thousands of infinite variations, all of which are based on eight essential principles. The moves are free and unrestrained, without any fixed rules, like a celestial horse soaring through the sky, without any constraints or limitations.

For example, Song Que's swordsmanship is "having a method yet having no method, having a method yet having no method," emphasizing the spirit and intent, while the moves are not important.

The top masters in the Twin Dragons world call their special moves "so-and-so style" or "so-and-so method," but this doesn't mean they are just a few fixed moves. Rather, it refers to a few essential principles.

Each essence may encompass countless variations corresponding to it. In actual combat, divine will comes first, and one should adapt flexibly according to the time and situation.

This applies not only to top-tier experts, but also to most renowned masters.

Just like Ba Feng Han, who came from a bandit background, where did he learn any proper martial arts techniques?

His martial arts skills were all honed through countless life-or-death battles.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were the same.

Aside from the ten sword techniques I initially learned from Li Jing and a few freehand techniques I learned at Wagang, all my other martial arts skills were honed through practical experience in real combat.

And with just these scattered skills, the two of them accomplished the feat of defeating the strong with the weak and assassinating "Azure Dragon" Ren Shaoming.

Lu Chen's martial arts skills had long since broken free from the constraints of moves, and had long since embarked on a path of doing as he pleased, being unrestrained and imaginative, and not bound by any rules.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, he is even stronger than Yang Xuyan.

With his already superb swordsmanship and the compensation for his lack of perception, Lu Chen now only needs a basic straight thrust to defeat low-level martial artists who don't understand qi perception.

Let's explain the power of "perception" in detail.

Lu Chen then said to Li Mochou:
“I have compiled a visualization method called ‘Bright Moon Over the Vast Ocean’. Rong’er said she wanted to thank you for your care, and I should also pass this visualization method on to you.”

"what?"

Li Mochou was stunned:
"Can you teach me such extraordinary skills?"

Huang Rong got up and came over, took Lu Chen's arm, and winked at Li Mochou:
"We're all family, why can't we pass on the skills to Sister Mochou? Besides, we'll still need to trouble Sister Mochou until Rong'er gives birth, and even later when she'll be taking care of the baby..."

My own family?
Li Mochou was stunned again. She glanced at Huang Rong, then at Lu Chen, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. She took a deep breath and patted her chest, promising:

"Don't worry! Whether it's Rong'er or the baby, just leave them to me to take care of!"

As she spoke, she thought to herself, although she had experience taking care of the dragon girl before, it was mostly her master and Granny Sun who took care of her, and she only helped out. If she were to take care of her alone...

Hmm, I need to ask Senior Huang for detailed advice on how to take care of the baby.

……

night.

Lu Chen and Huang Rong sat facing each other on the bed, each with their palms facing each other.

Lu Chen transformed his true energy into pure yang, while Huang Rong transformed hers into pure yin. Their true energies converged in their palms, evolving into a harmonious balance of yin and yang through the "Pure Yin to Yang Dual Cultivation Method."

When the mental technique is activated, the Yin and Yang energies are like two Tai Chi fish, intertwining and merging with each other.

A mysterious and mysterious vitality quietly emerges from this intertwined and fused fabric.

The life force gained from the sinking land was divided in two.

Some of it was used to increase power, and some was used to temper the sword.

Huang Rong used all the life force she gained to increase her internal energy.

The two practiced for an hour before slowly coming to a close.

Huang Rong felt her inner energy increase and exclaimed in delight:
"The power I gained in this one hour is equivalent to what I usually gain from four or five hours of meditation!"

Lu Chen nodded and smiled.
"It seems this technique is indeed incredibly effective."

The increase in his skill was only equivalent to two hours of his usual practice; the efficiency of his skill increase was merely doubled.

But this is because he also used half of his life force to temper the sword body.

The effect of tempering the sword body is equivalent to two hours of his usual body tempering.

It should be noted that in Lu Chen's previous cultivation, tempering his sword body and improving his internal energy could not be done simultaneously.

Therefore, his daily practice was mainly divided into three parts: tempering the sword body, improving his internal strength, and visualizing the sword in his mind.

But now, he can use the vitality derived from the "Pure Yin to Yang Dual Cultivation Method" to simultaneously improve his body tempering progress and true qi cultivation.

In this way, as long as he cultivates with Rong'er, he can combine his two cultivation practices—tempering his sword body and improving his internal energy—saving a lot of time and doubling his cultivation efficiency...

This pure Yin-Yang dual cultivation method is simply a divine skill!

Furthermore, the efficiency of dual cultivation can be further improved.

Because of Rong'er's current physical condition, the two can only face each other with their palms facing each other and circulate their true energy. Their yin and yang fusion is not yet deep or thorough enough.

Once Rong'er's physical condition stabilizes and she has mastered the "Bright Moon Over the Vast Sea Visualization Method," enabling her to reflect on herself and more accurately control the changes in her Qi and blood, the two of them will be able to cultivate in a deeper way through the fusion of Yin and Yang.

At that time, the efficiency of cultivation will be even higher.

However, despite the miraculous nature of her cultivation techniques and the rapid progress she made, Master Rong was ultimately not a cultivation fanatic.

An hour of focused cultivation was already a rare opportunity for her. Overjoyed, she used both hands and feet to crawl to Lu Chen, straddle his lap, hugged his shoulders, and said with a grin:

"You've practiced your skills, and it's late now. Shouldn't you rest?"

Lu Chen wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said with a smile:

"Okay, you can rest now."

"I want you to hold me while I sleep."

"no problem."

"Huh, so enjoyable today? Aren't you practicing your skills?"

"In the new world, someone has been training hard all month. What should they train for today?"

Lu Chen lightly kissed Rong'er's cheek and said:

“I bought a small manor in the style of a Jiangnan garden on the shore of Tanxi Lake in Xiangyang. Rong’er will definitely like it there.”

"Xiangyang... I remember there wasn't a major battle in Xiangyang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, right? Uh, could that strange new world be different?"

"No. There will be no major war in Xiangyang City in the new world."

"Hehe, then I'll go live there after I give birth to my baby."

"It could have been even earlier."

"Earlier?"

"Okay. Once I open up two more return points, I'll bring you there. Cultivation will be much faster there."

Huang Rong naturally wanted to get there as soon as possible.

However, in her own world, although she was one of the Five Great Masters, the strength of that new world was really absurd. Even when Lu Chen first went there, he suffered a little loss.

Huang Rong felt that with her current martial arts skills, she would have difficulty protecting herself if she encountered a master from that world, and going there would probably only be a burden to Lu Chen.

She expressed her concerns, and Lu Chen smiled slightly:

"No. I'm quite famous in that world now. As long as I don't cause trouble, no one will easily mess with me. Even if there is any trouble, I can send you back immediately."

"But……"

Huang Rong stuck out her tongue, her eyebrows curved, and she gave a playful smile:
"I like to join in the fun and I love to cause trouble! Especially at the end of the Sui Dynasty... a chaotic world full of heroes, and not just any chaotic world. There were three grandmasters, the righteous path, the demonic sect, the four great clans, the eight gangs and ten factions, and countless masters... Such a world is so exciting. Even though I'm heavily pregnant, I think it would be hard for me not to join in the fun."

"..."

What she said made perfect sense, and Lu Chen was speechless.

Huang Rong wrapped her arms around his neck, gently kissed his lips, and smiled:

"So, I'll come visit you after I give birth to the baby. I can use this time to practice my skills. Hmm, at least I need to master the visualization method so that no one will take advantage of me like they're bullying a blind person. Anyway, you can come back to see me anytime you miss me, right?"

Lu Chen smiled and shook his head:

"Alright, Rong'er is right. We'll wait until you give birth to the baby and your body has recovered before you go to cultivate."

After talking for a while, Rong'er gradually felt tired and yawned, saying:

"I want to sleep!"

"Then get a good night's sleep."

Lu Chen lifted her off his body and put her in the quilt, then crawled into the quilt himself and embraced her.

Rong'er closed her eyes and whispered:
"Brother Lu Chen, what's the baby's name?"

"If it's a boy, we'll name him Lu Xun."

"Lu Xun? That name sounds a bit strange."

"It means land cruiser."

"...Seriously!"

"Okay, I'm not very good at naming things. How about you, Rong'er, name it?"

"The boy will be named Lu Yue, in memory of the first sword technique you learned, the Yue Maiden Sword."

"Hmm, that's a good name. What about a girl?"

"The girl... will be named Lu Yao. Yao is the same as in the jade-like grass."

"Alright. I'll call her Lu Yao."

“Brother Lu Chen”.

"Ok?"

How far have you progressed in "strengthening your muscles and bones"?

"I just finished training my right hand. Dual cultivation should be even faster."

"……hehe."

"Rong'er, why are you smiling so strangely?"

"...Rong'er is a little crispy."

"...?"
