At this moment outside the broken temple, the rain was torrential.

Inside the broken temple, Li Feiyu, who was about to see how Lu Changsheng would deal with Qu Zhenzhen, heard these words and was completely stunned.

He looked at Lu Changsheng with a face full of astonishment.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to suddenly say something so shameless.

Love at first sight?

To spend the rest of one’s life together?

Is this what you call love at first sight?

You’re clearly lusting after her body, after her Spiritual Root!

However, he naturally wouldn’t sabotage his good brother’s efforts.

And he knew that his good brother had no great ambitions in this lifetime.

He just wanted to live a stable life, be surrounded by wives and concubines, and have a houseful of children, especially a few with Spiritual Roots.

The girl in front of them had a decent appearance, possessed a Spiritual Root, and had no place to call home, unsure of where to settle down.

So, when Lu Changsheng made such a proposal, it wasn’t really a problem and was quite reasonable.

After all, the children born of a woman with a Spiritual Root were much more likely to inherit a Spiritual Root themselves.

In his eyes, even though Lu Changsheng, a Talisman Master, might find it difficult to look for a few “fairies” with Spiritual Roots to father children with.

Because pregnancy and childbirth greatly affect a female cultivator’s cultivation.

Thus, many female cultivators, even if they were willing to take a partner, were not too keen on having children.

“Ah…”

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, Qu Zhenzhen also paused in surprise, not quite able to react.

Her eyes, wet with tears, stared blankly at the man in front of her, who had a clear and handsome face and a tall and lean stature.

The next moment, her slightly chubby and fair cheeks flushed red at once.

This this this…

This young man’s words are just too blunt.

Although many dramatic stories say that one can only repay a life-saving debt by pledging one’s body, this was just too direct.

She didn’t even know his name yet.

And shouldn’t this type of proposal come from her instead?

In an instant, Qu Zhenzhen felt dizzy and somewhat dumbfounded.

Meeting Lu Changsheng’s gentle gaze, Qu Zhenzhen couldn’t help her heart fluttering and hastily lowered her head in embarrassment.

“There’s no rush. You can think it over carefully and give me an answer before dawn,”

Lu Changsheng said calmly, seeing the girl’s shy demeanor.

Speaking of which, he took out a Garment Purification Talisman and activated it on the girl.

He dried her damp, pink dress and cleaned it thoroughly.

It was, of course, a small bit of cunning.

To show off a bit of his own magic.

Although he had moral boundaries and wouldn’t force anyone into anything, his standards weren’t that high and could be flexible.

Moreover, in Lu Changsheng’s view, trying to attract a young woman by showing off oneself was quite normal and didn’t amount to any moral turpitude.

“This…”

“Are you immortals!?”

Witnessing Lu Changsheng pull out a talisman and with a gust of wind clean her clothes, Qu Zhenzhen’s face filled with surprise.

She also recalled how Li Feiyu had turned the old man into ash with a palm strike, which she had initially thought was some martial skill and hadn’t given it much thought.

But now, it seemed to be clearly the work of an immortal.

Under the girl’s astonished gaze, Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and spoke warmly, “We are cultivators, the ‘immortals’ you often hear about.”

“Cultivators?”

Qu Zhenzhen’s bright eyes showed a trace of confusion when she heard this.

“Indeed, as long as one possesses a Spiritual Root, they can embark on Cultivation and become a Cultivator.”

“That old man wanted to offer you as a concubine to a Cultivator because you have a Spiritual Root,”

Lu Changsheng nodded and explained.

“So it was I who caused my parents’ suffering.”

Upon hearing this, the girl burst into tears once more.

After crying for a while, Qu Zhenzhen lifted her head, her eyes red and streaked with tears, and looked at Lu Changsheng before saying, “Your great kindness, Zhenzhen cannot repay. I am willing to offer myself and marry you, my benefactor.”

Li Feiyu stood by quietly, watching Lu Changsheng deceive the young girl.

“Are you sure you’ve thought this through?”

When Lu Changsheng heard her words, he raised an eyebrow.

He reckoned that Qu Zhenzhen’s consent also took into account his identity as a Cultivator, perhaps hoping that he would help her seek revenge or something.

However, a Cultivator who would stoop to abducting for secular affairs probably wasn’t too formidable.

If Qu Zhenzhen were to become the mother of his child, then once his Cultivation Level increased in the future, he would be willing to help her seek revenge.

“I have made up my mind.”

Qu Zhenzhen pursed her pink lips, mustered her courage, and looked at Lu Changsheng as she spoke.

But after holding his gaze for a while, her delicate little face involuntarily blushed, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

After looking into the tear-stained reddened eyes of the girl for a moment, Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “Fine, if that’s the case, then you shall return with me tomorrow. Oh, by the way, my name is Lu Changsheng.”

Straightaway, Lu Changsheng took out a Spiritual Contract as a marriage vow and established a marriage agreement with Qu Zhenzhen.

It was something he had obtained from the Storage Bag of the three Robber Cultivators from Bullhead Mountain.

It served a simple contractual effect.

If one were to violate it, they would suffer a certain backlash, which could lead to the emergence of Heart Demons during their future Cultivation.

Honestly, its effect was present but not significant, considered better than nothing.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng briefly shared some details about himself and some common knowledge about Cultivation with Qu Zhenzhen.

In the process, he also inquired how the old man knew that Qu Zhenzhen possessed a Spiritual Root.

To this, Qu Zhenzhen herself was unclear.

However, later on, Lu Changsheng found a Spirit-sensing Stone in the old man’s wrap.

It was a Spiritual Object, capable of detecting whether someone possesses a Spiritual Root or not.

If placed near a person with a Spiritual Root, the stone would faintly glow.

This also clarified to Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu why the old man knew that Qu Zhenzhen held a Spiritual Root.

They guessed that the old man was likely working for some ‘Parasitic Cultivator.’

In the secular world, there are Cultivators who, due to aptitude, age, injuries, and other such reasons, lose hope in Cultivation and abandon it.

They turn to pursuing a life of enjoyment, seeking wealth, prosperity, and secular power.

Such Cultivators are referred to as ‘Parasitic Cultivators.’

Among the Parasitic Cultivators, the most common practice is to use their power to have others find females with Spiritual Roots for them, in order to continue their lineage.

After all, once hopeless in their own Cultivation, naturally, they pin their Cultivation dreams on their offspring.

And so it was.

On the second day, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu’s journey back included Qu Zhenzhen.

Qu Zhenzhen rode along with Lu Changsheng on a single mount.

She sat in front of the spiritual steed, hugging the Nine Netherhound while Lu Changsheng wrapped his arms around her, holding the reins.

Qu Zhenzhen’s face was somewhat flushed, but not excessively shy.

After all, Lu Changsheng was to be her future husband, and such an intimate act was only to be expected.

Considering that Qu Zhenzhen was to be offered to a certain Cultivator by the old man, Lu Changsheng, wary of trouble, sped up his journey with Li Feiyu, remaining vigilant throughout.

Nevertheless, it turned out to be a false alarm, and they encountered no dangers on their way.

Seven days later, the three of them and their beast safely returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
