Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 416 - 416 397 Husband are you okay_1

416: Chapter 397: Husband, are you okay?_1 416: Chapter 397: Husband, are you okay?_1 Lu Jing saw that Lu Chuan had indeed played his last card and chosen to surrender, revealing a cold smile on his face, he said, “You’re sensible, I am only here to kill you this time to avenge our young master, it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Since you are willing to surrender, I can let you live a few more days, take you back to the Lu family, and leave your fate to the Family Head.

Come over and let me capture you, and I will naturally spare your wife.”

Situ Qinghuan was completely astonished, “He…

he actually called me his wife…

How embarrassing…”

However, she realized they had been wed in a ceremony eighteen years ago, so it wasn’t really inappropriate to be called a wife.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, looking very happy.

“Since I and Lu Chuan are the first ones who held a ceremony, does that mean I can be the chief wife at home in the future?

No matter how many wives Lu Chuan marries, they all have to listen to me?” she daydreamed happily about her life with Lu Chuan in the future.

[Your wife is as beautiful as a fairy, which man wouldn’t be moved by her?

I’ll capture you first, cripple your Dantian, and then lay my hands on your wife.

I’ll brutally ravage her in front of you.

Once I have had my fill, I’ll take you back to the Kunlun Domain!]

Situ Qinghuan heard Lu Jing’s inner voice and felt a hint of disgust, but she did not show it.

After all, Lu Chuan said he had a way to kill this guy, so she chose to trust Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan walked towards Lu Jing.

As he was about to approach Lu Jing, Lu Jing condensed a force in his hand and said coldly, “Kid, to prevent you from playing any tricks, I’ll have to cripple your Dantian first.

If you don’t want your wife to die with you, just obediently take my palm strike!”

Lu Chuan cracked a smile and said, “Of course, for my wife, I won’t resist at all.”

No sooner had he finished speaking, than he burst out with all his strength and attacked Lu Jing.

Seeing this, Lu Jing snorted coldly and shouted, “I knew you wouldn’t surrender so easily, kid.

But no matter how much you resist, today you only have one way to go: death!”

After speaking, he slapped a hand towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan barely received the blow, retreating rapidly, and managed to stabilize his figure but not without a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth—he was injured.

Lu Jing sneered, “Is that all you’ve got, wanting to ambush me?

You’re far from it!”

Lu Chuan, however, just cracked a smile and said, “Is that so?”

Lu Jing’s heart sank as he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and swiftly turned around, only to see a tiny Linglong Pagoda flying rapidly towards him.

After seeing what it was, he scoffed and said, “I thought you had some powerful move up your sleeve, but it turns out you’re just using a hidden weapon to sneak attack me.

Still, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone use a toy pagoda as a hidden weapon.

Do you really think this thing can do me much harm?”

The Demon Suppression Pagoda was aimed straight at Lu Jing’s heart.

Lu Jing didn’t take the tiny pagoda seriously, simply extending a hand and releasing a force, intending to intercept the pagoda and crush it in his hand.

However, to his surprise, his power couldn’t restrain the pagoda at all.

The Demon Suppression Pagoda charged towards Lu Jing’s heart like a bamboo breaking through obstacles.

Only at that moment did Lu Jing realize the problem and hurriedly conjured a barrier with his hand to counter the pagoda’s impact.

It was when the Demon Suppression Pagoda made contact with his barrier that he truly felt the terrifying power carried by the tiny pagoda.

He could sense that the weight of the pagoda was astronomically heavy, and the reason he hadn’t been able to restrain it was due to its immense weight, with inertia far exceeding the power Lu Chuan could muster.

He couldn’t understand how Lu Chuan could have thrown such a terrifying pagoda.

Using such an object as a hidden weapon, by the time one reacted, it would likely already have smashed through them.

Fortunately, as a Grade 4 Saint, he managed to contain the pagoda’s assault by exerting all his might.

However, just then, a wave of force penetrated the barrier and landed heavily on his chest.

This force, when compared to the power of the pagoda, was insignificant, but it was enough to ignite the hidden ailment in Lu Jing’s heart.

All of Lu Jing’s power and divine focus were spent defending against the Demon Suppression Pagoda, and he hadn’t expected that Lu Chuan could release another wave of force through the pagoda, so he was caught unprepared and hit by the attack.

Intense pain erupted from his heart, causing his power to become chaotic in an instant, leaving him unable to resist the pagoda’s attack.

In just an instant, the Demon Suppression Pagoda shattered the barrier he had formed, then rapidly pierced through his body and returned to Lu Chuan’s side, disappearing from sight.

Lu Jing stood rigidly in place, a fist-sized hole visible at the position of his heart—a spot that should have contained his heart but was now visible through the hole.

He looked at Lu Chuan in disbelief, unable to comprehend how he could have died at the hands of a lowly being from the secular world.

He wanted to ask what material the tiny pagoda that pierced his body was made of and why it was so terrifying.

Regrettably, he no longer had the opportunity to voice the questions he wanted to ask.

Almost ten seconds later, Lu Jing’s body was brushed by a gust of wind and then collapsed limply.

Lu Chuan used his Divine Sense to confirm Lu Jing’s condition, and once he saw that he was dead beyond doubt, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately extended a finger, releasing a small flame that landed on Lu Jing’s body, which instantly ignited, reducing to ashes within a few breaths.

He wasn’t sure if this guy had any methods of sending a message after death, so the best approach was to deal with the body immediately, rendering such methods ineffective.

Of course, this fellow was here to kill him, and once the Lu family confirmed that he had died, they would definitely know it was him who had killed the guy, so whether there was a means to communicate after death became irrelevant.

Situ Qinghuan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Lu Jing reduced to ashes and hurried to Lu Chuan’s side to support him, asking, “Husband, are you alright?”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “Hus…

husband?”

A blush crept over Situ Qinghuan’s face as she said, “Back then you said I was your wife, so what’s wrong with me calling you husband?”

Lu Chuan thought to himself that he had only said that to deceive the person from the Lu family.

However, in order not to disappoint Situ Qinghuan, he smiled and said, “No problem, no problem at all.”

“Let me take you back for healing,” Situ Qinghuan said with a proud look and supported him as they walked toward the inner parts of the sect.

Inside the loft.

Lu Chuan had taken some healing elixir pills, and his injuries were now stable, posing no serious concern.

He looked at the caring Situ Qinghuan by his side and said with a solemn expression, “I first killed the young master of the Lu family, and now I have killed this person who came for revenge.

The Lu family will definitely not let me off easily.”

Situ Qinghuan, with a serious face, replied, “No matter how terrifying the Lu family is, I, and the entire Profound Sect, will always stand by your side!”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I am touched by your sentiment.

However, what we need to focus on right now is to improve our strength as quickly as possible, rather than starting a war with the Lu family.

After all, the Lu family is too powerful, and to them, the Profound Sect is insignificant.”

“I plan to leave the Profound Sect once my injuries have healed to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.

As long as I manage to improve my strength, I will be more confident when facing the Lu family’s people.”

Situ Qinghuan quickly asked, “What about me?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “You should stay at the Profound Sect and handle affairs well, being my wise and capable partner.”

“As things stand, the Lu family is only targeting me.

By temporarily leaving, both you and the Profound Sect will become safer,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Situ Qinghuan’s face showed her reluctance, but she understood that what Lu Chuan was suggesting was the most prudent approach, so she didn’t object and instead asked, “Where do you plan to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough?”

Lu Chuan replied, “I need to find a Spiritual Medicine called Soul Herb, at least four hundred years old, but I currently don’t know where to start.”

He was at the brink of Golden Core Perfection, only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

For the Golden Core to transform into the Nascent Soul, his Divine Soul needed to merge with the Golden Core, ultimately transforming into a Nascent Soul, signifying a successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, merging the Divine Soul with the Golden Core and transforming it into the Nascent Soul is no easy feat.

Through the ages, the rate of failure has been as high as ninety percent.

Moreover, if one fails, their soul shatters, and they perish.

But after countless predecessors in the Cultivation World’s explorations, a method had been found that could increase the probability of Golden Core conversion to the Nascent Soul to seventy or even eighty percent.

This involved consuming a kind of elixir pill called the Soul Fusion Pill before merging the Golden Core with the Divine Soul.

And the Soul Herb was the main ingredient for concocting the Soul Fusion Pill.

Of course, apart from the Soul Fusion Pill, which increased the success rate of fusion, Lu Chuan also needed to elevate his power of Divine Soul to Great Perfection.

Only with a perfected Golden Core in harmony with a perfected Divine Soul could he transform it into a Nascent Soul and achieve the Great Dao.

This required Lu Chuan to absorb a substantial amount of the power of Divine Soul before his breakthrough, bringing his Divine Soul to the state of Great Perfection.

Indeed, even satisfying these two conditions, the process of Golden Core breakthrough to the Nascent Soul was still fraught with multiple risks.

Otherwise, the Cultivation World wouldn’t have masters of the Golden Core aplenty, yet those of the Nascent Soul Stage would be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

As for the method to find enough power of Divine Soul to bring the Divine Soul to Great Perfection, Lu Chuan had no leads yet, so he was focused on finding the Soul Herb first to concoct the Soul Fusion Pill.

After hearing Lu Chuan’s plans, Situ Qinghuan pondered briefly and said, “You rest and heal at the sect for the next few days, and I will have the intelligence network of the Profound Sect scout for the whereabouts of the Soul Herb.

Once there’s any news, we’ll inform you immediately.”

Lu Chuan nodded.

With the intelligence network of the Profound Sect assisting him, finding the Soul Herb would naturally become much simpler.

Situ Qinghuan then looked at Lu Chuan with a slightly plaintive expression and said, “I can manage the Profound Sect well and not follow you in searching for an opportunity for a breakthrough, but you must accompany me properly for these few days.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Yes, I will make sure to keep you company.”

In the following two days, Lu Chuan healed in tranquility, with Situ Qinghuan taking meticulous care of him—the two almost seemed like a perfect couple.

However, by the third day, once Situ Qinghuan was certain that Lu Chuan’s body was no longer seriously troubled, she dragged Lu Chuan to bed to properly discuss the matter of the sudden change she saw in him, and for several days thereafter, they hardly left the bed.

Lu Chuan truly understood why some people say that a woman remains pure like a sheet of white paper before having intimate relations but transforms into an insatiable creature once she has tasted the sweetness.

Situ Qinghuan was a perfect example of this.

In the beginning, Lu Chuan relied on his Primal Chaos Indestructible Body and was fearless, but after being drained time and again, he started to suffer greatly, begging for mercy continuously.

Unfortunately, Situ Qinghuan had no intention of sparing him since this fellow wouldn’t be around for many more days; she needed to make good use of his value.

Only when the intelligence network of the Profound Sect sent news about the Soul Herb could Lu Chuan catch a break, finally escaping the torment.

“According to our investigations, the Capital City’s Luo family once purchased a four-hundred-year-old Soul Herb at an auction.

There has been no news of them selling it since, so it’s very likely that the Luo family still possesses it,” Situ Qinghuan relayed the investigation results to Lu Chuan.

“Capital City’s Luo family!” Lu Chuan couldn’t help exclaiming upon hearing this.

Situ Qinghuan, puzzled, asked, “Have you dealt with this family before?”

A tinge of emotion crossed Lu Chuan’s face as he murmured, “I haven’t dealt with them, but…

my mother comes from that family.”
