Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1369 - 1369 1328 Embarrassment

1369: Chapter 1328: Embarrassment 1369: Chapter 1328: Embarrassment Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

For Lu Chuan, there was one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news was that Li Yingnu’s speed in reconstructing her physical body was far faster than Lu Chuan had expected.

In just three days, a complete body was nearly 80% restored.

The slightly complex Spirit Veins were also gradually being completed.

In no more than two days, Li Yingnu would truly, in every sense, return to this world.

The bad news was that reconstructing a physical body is ultimately a process of creating something from nothing.

While a body can slowly grow back, clothing cannot.

Lu Chuan had intended to check on Li Yingnu’s progress, but as soon as he pushed open the door, he was met with the sight of a completely naked body standing before him.

Their gazes met, and Lu Chuan froze in place, his mind going completely blank.

Admittedly, this situation wasn’t entirely foreign to Lu Chuan.

He’d seen bodies like this plenty of times before, and there wasn’t anything particularly shocking about it.

Even someone like Nalan Xuan, with whom Lu Chuan never had any intimate relationship, had been seen by him in their entirety—he even touched her once!

But the issue here was—who is Li Yingnu?

She was Ye Jiaxin’s biological mother, Lu Chuan’s bona fide mother-in-law!

After seeing Li Yingnu’s entire body so clearly with his first glance, Lu Chuan immediately started imagining how awkward it would be for him in the future if Jiaxin and Li Yingnu were both present at the same time.

No, wait—there’s also the father-in-law.

The mere thought that his father-in-law’s two lovers had now both been seen stark naked by him made Lu Chuan’s feelings extraordinarily complicated.

In the end, it was Li Yingnu who snapped out of the moment first.

She swiftly grabbed the bed curtain and wrapped herself in it, the delicate curves of her body faintly visible.

Contrary to what Lu Chuan had expected, Li Yingnu was surprisingly calm.

As if nothing had ever happened, she sat quietly back on the bed and said in a low voice, “You’ve returned so suddenly—did you manage to obtain that treasure?”

“Uh… Ah, yes!

I got it, it’s right here!”

Lu Chuan suddenly came to his senses and took out the Haolock Spike from the self-contained space inside the Little Tower, gesturing with it as he continued, “Senior, this treasure is incredibly powerful.

Are you truly willing to just give it to me?”

“You saved my life, and I can’t repay you for that.

Moreover, after everything I’ve been through, I’ve gained some new insights and no longer wish to get involved in disputes.

Now, I just want to return to the Ye Family and stay by my daughter’s side.

Keeping this item in my hands would be a waste of its value.

Giving it to you is a better choice.”

“Thank you, Senior… Oh, by the way, Senior, how are you feeling?

Do you have any discomfort or difficulties adjusting?”

Li Yingnu shook her head gently, her tone remaining warm from beginning to end.

Lu Chuan wasn’t familiar with Li Yingnu’s personality before, and likely wouldn’t have any chance to learn about it.

But as she appeared now, Li Yingnu seemed like a monk who had seen through the material world, unmoved by anything that might affect her emotions.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

After experiencing so much, expecting someone to behave like a lively young girl would be odd.

“I feel fine.

Thank you, Lu Chuan.

By the way, when will I be able to return to Luo City?”

“Your physical body isn’t completely reconstructed yet, and you can’t use your powers for the moment, so you’ll need to wait a little longer—three to five days, or maybe as many as eight or nine.

Basically, once you’re able to use Nascent Soul-level power, you can leave anytime.

My only task is to help reconstruct your body, of course, without limiting your freedom.”

“…If you need me, I can step in to help you.”

“No, no, no—that’s entirely unnecessary.

Senior, you’re misunderstanding me.

There’s nothing you need to do for me.

How about this: if you’re really anxious about returning, I’ll personally escort you back to Luo City.”

Hearing this, Li Yingnu fell silent for a moment and, after some hesitation, shook her head.

“Forget it.

Let’s stick to your plan.

It’s just a few more days.

I’ve waited over twenty years—it won’t hurt to wait a little longer.”

“Alright then.

Senior, if you need anything else, feel free to let me know.

I’ll do my best to prepare whatever is required.”

“If possible, could you prepare a few sets of everyday clothing for me?”

“No problem.

I’ll go handle that right away.”

With that, Lu Chuan turned and left the room.

As he closed the door behind him, his face instantly flushed red.

So awkward!

Seeing his father-in-law’s lover completely naked—not once but twice!

Lu Chuan wished he could find a hole to crawl into on the spot!

“Still, I didn’t expect the recovery to progress so quickly.”

Earlier that morning, he had gone to Azure Dragon Academy to check in.

Ye Chongshan seemed to be facing some difficulties, which might take some time to resolve.

Lu Chuan had casually suggested a solution to Nalan Xuan, helping her resolve a few issues and speeding up the process.

By initial estimates, another ten days would complete the Yin Yang Reversal Technique and resurrect Ye Chongshan.

By then, Lu Chuan’s long-coveted Human Emperor’s Pendant would finally be within reach, allowing him to pursue the next stage of his plan.

In the meantime, Lu Chuan found himself unusually idle.

With no urgent tasks, he spent his days chatting with his mother-in-law to ease her boredom or practicing cultivation with Tang Yurou.

On occasion, he would visit Azure Dragon Academy to check on Nalan Xuan’s progress—though her teasing left him in a flustered state.

Eventually, the Yin Yang Reversal Technique entered its final stages, and Ye Chongshan’s resurrection was imminent!

Lu Chuan happened to be at Azure Dragon Academy and witnessed the process firsthand.

Nalan Xuan poured her all into activating the Human Emperor’s Pendant, and the aura it unleashed enveloped the entire academy!

From Nalan Xuan’s expression, it was clear that the process was exceptionally taxing for her, even to the point of exhaustion.

Someone like Nalan Xuan, who cared deeply about her appearance, now looked utterly disheveled—her alluring almond-shaped eyes bloodshot, her hair in disarray, and her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Ye Chongshan’s merging of body and soul, filled with hope.

“Zhongshan…”

Nalan Xuan gritted her teeth.

Even back when she had broken through the Spirit Dividing Realm, her nervousness might not have been this intense.

Fortunately, their efforts hadn’t been in vain.

Under Lu Chuan and Nalan Xuan’s watchful eyes, Ye Chongshan slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and with Nalan Xuan’s support, sat up.

Ye Chongshan clenched his fists, relishing the sensation of his body regaining warmth.

His Spirit Veins, once dry and withered, were now brimming with Spiritual Power, revitalized.

Ye Chongshan’s emotions were profoundly mixed.

The same old question lingered—he didn’t know how to face Nalan Xuan.

“Zhongshan, I’ve looked forward to this day for so long, so long.

Finally… I can be with you.”

Nalan Xuan’s eyes brimmed with tears, her emotions overwhelming as she threw herself into Ye Chongshan’s embrace like a swallow returning to its nest.

But Lu Chuan could see no trace of joy in Ye Chongshan’s gaze—there was only heaviness.
