Chapter 282: Chapter 136: Yun Wanshang: Could Something Have Happened to Xi Yue?_1
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected Xiao Xiyue to return to seek him out so soon.

Looking at Xiao Xiyue in front of him, wearing a moon-white long dress with delicate features and an exceptionally ethereal and cool demeanor, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty.

After all, looking back on it now, his idea seemed a bit off.

Who would ask someone to cultivate like that?

However, thinking about the unearthly beauty standing before him, as if she were a fairy from the Guanghan Moon Palace embarking on cultivation trials as he had suggested, a faint fire of irritation began to smolder in Lu Changsheng’s dantian.

“Xiao Daoist, is the method I proposed effective?”

Lu Changsheng gathered his mental spirit, calmed his restless mind, and asked earnestly.

“Yes,”

Xiao Xiyue replied softly.

Her cold and succinct words were filled with temptation, stirring the imagination.

“If it’s been of any help to you, that’s good,”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly.

Although he felt a little disappointed,

He had at least managed to deal with the troublesome matter concerning Xiao Xiyue.

After all, if he were to actually intervene, the loss would outweigh the gain, and it would easily cause trouble.

“However, Xi Yue can feel that this effect is not enough to break through the bottleneck, so I will still need Lu Daoist’s help…”

Xiao Xiyue’s chest heaved slightly, and she spoke with her lips barely parting.

A ripple appeared in her cool and calm eyes,

Clearly, her heart was not as tranquil as her outward appearance suggested.

After all, the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique is not about being truly without emotion,

But about being so immersed in the Great Dao that one remains unaffected by emotions and desires.

Furthermore, she had not yet cultivated to such a level.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.

He had not expected Xiao Xiyue to still require his assistance.

This meant that what he had proposed had some effect, but it was not sufficient.

He did not speak.

It went without saying, he could help,

But the benefits did not balance out the costs.

More loss than gain.

Xiao Xiyue noticed the hesitation in Lu Changsheng.

Although inexperienced in worldly affairs, she wasn’t entirely naive.

She knew that her request made Lu Changsheng apprehensive,

Probably because he was worried that such a matter would bring him trouble.

“Lu Daoist, Xi Yue knows this matter is making it difficult for you,”

“If Lu Daoist is willing to help, Xi Yue would be immensely grateful and ready to offer thanks, or if Lu Daoist has any requirements, please feel free to make them,”

“Also, Xi Yue is willing to make a Dao Heart vow that, regardless of the outcome of this emotional trial, success or failure, I will not involve or blame Lu Daoist,”

“All consequences will be borne by Xi Yue alone, so Lu Daoist can rest assured,”

Xiao Xiyue said, her eyes locked onto Lu Changsheng.

A trace of heartfelt crimson flashed through her icy eyes but was quickly replaced by a look of determination.

Now that the opportunity for her breakthrough was within reach, even her Moon Palace serene heart of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique could hardly suppress this sense of urgency.

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing these words, pursed his lips.

He could tell that Xiao Xiyue was sincere.

And he was quite pleased with her proactive approach.

A Dao Heart vow might not be infallible,

But for someone like Xiao Xiyue, who was single-minded in her cultivation, it was a reliably safe course of action.

Since she had said so much, he felt he could agree to the arrangement.

After all, he wasn’t planning to make her bear children right now.

Having made up his mind, Lu Changsheng said to Xiao Xiyue, “Since Xiao Daoist has put it that way, how can I refuse?”

“There’s no need for any lavish gifts, I only hope that in the future you can help me with one thing. I have yet to decide what it is; I will let you know once I have figured it out,”

Lu Changsheng stated.

In his view, having helped Xiao Xiyue with such an intimate act as surmounting an emotional trial,

Xiao Xiyue might as well be considered the mother of his future child.

It was not convenient for him to take her home to be the mother now,

But it would be no issue once he had the strength to do so.

Considering Xiao Xiyue’s current cool demeanor, if she continued to progress in her cultivation, she might become an icy statue.

So, it was necessary to plant a seed earlier on.

After all, he, Lu Changsheng, never forced anyone.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

She would not have agreed to such a condition from anyone else,

As it was akin to a sword hanging over one’s head,

Making it difficult to cultivate in peace.

But considering this was related to her Great Dao opportunity and the cause and effect of her emotional trial,

And given her interactions with Lu Changsheng over these days, she felt relatively confident about his character.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have disclosed her emotional trial to him.

She nodded and said, “As long as it does not go against the Dao Heart, Xi Yue will do her best to fulfill it when the time comes.”

Xiao Xiyue spoke, and then solemnly raised her hand to take the vow.

She vowed that she would not blame Lu Changsheng whether the emotional trial succeeded or failed,

And that she alone would bear the consequences of any event.

“Bearing a few children shouldn’t count as going against the Dao Heart, right?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, watching Xiao Xiyue make her vow.

He nodded slightly and said to Xiao Xiyue, “How do you plan to start?”

At these words, Xiao Xiyue blinked in surprise.

She knew her emotional trial was related to the affections between men and women, her own desires,

But how to begin, or what to do next, she found herself at a loss.

After all, in this matter, she was truly clueless.

The next moment, she saw Lu Changsheng’s handsome face drawing closer,

A warm, moist breath approached her lips and enveloped them.

“Mmm~”

A blush like blooming snow lotuses crept onto Xiao Xiyue’s face,

Her heart pounded furiously, wanting to push Lu Changsheng away.

But the surging shyness and desire within her, controlled by the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, suppressed her instinctive reaction.

Her eyelashes quivered as she hid her embarrassment, her face filled with bewilderment and helplessness, allowing him to take the lead.
