Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

177  Chapter 154 Familial Talent_1

"How could this be? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Xu Mu felt a bit angry.

He had no control over the talent bestowed upon him by the system.

According to the system, unless he did nothing, someone would inevitably be affected once a month. But he had no way of knowing who it would be or when it would happen.

 "..."

Xu Mu was completely speechless.

With things as they were, he had no choice but to accept it. After all, it was already four or five months along; he couldn't just kill it, could he?

Chi Feiyan had purposely chosen this moment, and the implication was all too clear.

"I don't know either!"

Chi Feiyan lowered her head in feigned grievance, but a sly glint flickered in her eyes.

Seeing Chi Feiyan's state, Xu Mu was so furious that he couldn't vent it out. He lectured her harshly, but seeing as it already happened, it didn't matter if another happened or not.

He didn't need to release her anymore.

"You should just stay home and rest from now on. There's no rush with the pill stuff!" Xu Mu said helplessly.

"OK!"

Chi Feiyan, whose legs and hands were numb, unconsciously nodded her head.

Given Xu Mu's character, since he had made a promise, he wouldn't go back on it. This was like a life insurance ticket for her.

If it wasn't for this, why would she go through this in the first place?

It was difficult for practitioners at Foundation Establishment Stage to have offspring, so she thought she was just an outlier. She had even summarized a set of experiences, planning to do it again sometime.

However, upon seeing Si Tan'er's situation, she realized that things weren't as she thought.

Could it be that Xu Lang had a unique constitution that increased the odds?

What an incredible talent!

While feeling a bit depressed, Chi Feiyan thought about the extraordinary value this could bring.

Even if Xu Mu's cultivation stagnated in the future, this ability alone could create a great family.

My foresight isn't wrong after all!

Chi Feiyan was excited at heart.

After obtaining the Spirit Stones, Xu Mu left a portion of them to Si Tan'er to develop White River City.

As for Chi Feiyan, she had her own savings and didn't need Xu Mu's help.

After everything was arranged, Xu Mu left White River City and returned to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory through a space crack.

He stayed in the city for a month to let Ye Yingying be successfully affected. After receiving a message from Nangong Suyi, he hurried to the Palace of Pure Heart.

"Just meet me in my practice area!"

Nangong Suyi messaged.

Xu Mu didn't hesitate and quickly reached her closed cultivation area.

"Where's elder brother?"

Xu Mu looked around but didn't see Mo Wuxin.

"Still calling him elder brother!"

Nangong Suyi glared at him, somewhat annoyed.

"Uh?"

For a moment, Xu Mu didn't know what to say.

"She's still cultivating inside, it'll take a few days! I just called you over to prepare!" Nangong Suyi said.

"What is there to prepare for?"

Xu Mu wanted to finish the task quickly and go back to continue cultivating.

"Of course it's to improve your skills!" Nangong Suyi said somewhat unnaturally.

"Improve my skills?"

Xu Mu was not a fool. He grasped the underlying meaning of her words and playfully held Nangong Suyi's hand.

"What are you doing!"

Nangong Suyi mildy protest, but didn't pull away her hand.

There indeed was a bit of selfishness in her asking Xu Mu to come early.

Looking at Nangong Suyi's shining eyes, Xu Mu noticed she looked much younger than when they had met before.

A woman will beautify herself for a man she loves!

Well then, I won't be polite!

"Master, let your disciple..."

...

Time was flowing like a running river, the seconds fleeting.

It wasn't until Mo Wuxin emerged from her retreat that Nangong Suyi reluctantly left, regaining her dignity as a master.

Nothing much had changed about Mo Wuxin after a period of reversal. She was already considered flawless to begin with. However, compared to before, there was a hint of allure added to her appearance.

At the same time, the once unremarkable training site seemed to have developed a newfound liveliness.

However, it was still subtle and hard to notice unless one looked closely.

At this moment, Mo Wuxin's face was as cold as frost, as if everyone in the world owed her money. Particularly the way she looked at Xu Mu - it seemed she could kill him.

"If nothing happens, I'll make you regret ever coming into this world!" Mo Wuxin threatened Xu Mu bluntly in Nangong Suyi's presence.

"If senior brother says so, I better give up this matter. I don't wish to invite trouble for myself!" Xu Mu lazily retorted.

He then suddenly grinned. "Oh right, I should be calling you senior sister instead!"

"You——"

Mo Wuxin was on the verge of exploding. Had it not been for Nangong Suyi's intervention, she would've attacked him instantly.

After Nangong Suyi pacified her, Mo Wuxin agreed to adopt the breakthrough method proposed by Xu Mu. However, she was holding onto quite a grudge, and just couldn't get it off her chest.

"Alright, stop arguing! Xu Mu means well. Besides, the method...Ahem!..." Nangong Suyi's mature face inevitably blushed a little as she tried to finish her sentence, but she quickly managed to conceal it.

This was something that Wuxin mustn't know. Otherwise, she would be too ashamed to face anyone as the master.

She took a moment to calm her emotions and continued, "I have confirmed the effectiveness of the method. Even if it doesn't work, Xu Mu can't be blamed. Now, Wuxin, prepare and get started!"

It was Mo Wuxin's turn to blush and her heart skipped a beat. She still seemed somewhat unwilling to accept as she questioned, "Master, can you tell me how did you verify the effectiveness of this method? I would like to cross-check it based on my situation!"

"This...this..."

The eight-hundred-year-old Nangong Suyi was tongue-tied, but Xu Mu quickly came to her rescue.

"Senior sister, don't worry. The initial phase gives us plenty of time to analyze. If it doesn't suit you, we can stop it at any time." Xu Mu smiled.

"Humph! Alright, then follow me!"

Mo Wuxin's body trembled involuntarily. She turned around and led Xu Mu into the practice room.

Unbeknownst to both of them, after they entered, Nangong Suyi inexplicably activated a detection formation, which made everything inside the room appear clearly.

I'm only doing this as a master, just to oversee them!

Nangong Suyi comforted herself in her heart.

As the Palace Master of the Palace of Pure Heart and a cultivator in the late Golden Pill Stage, she naturally had ways to monitor them without their knowledge. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Upon entering the practice room, the duo got into a few verbal spats. Only after considerable hesitation did Mo Wuxin take off her robe.

"So, the kid has been resorting to bandages!" Witnessing Mo Wuxin's proud figure, Nangong Suyi couldn't help but laugh.

Then they went through another round of hesitation before finally getting to the main issue.

Nangong Suyi was somewhat nervous, yet a bit envious.

"How long can Wuxin hold on!"

...

"Why is this happening? We haven't even——"

The moment Nangong Suyi caught sight of the mischievous grin on Xu Mu's face, she immediately realized it wasn't Mo Wuxin's incompetence, but rather Xu Mu's deliberate mischief.

"This little bastard!"

Nangong Suyi was both amused and annoyed.

"Well, it's actually good this way. It's a lesson for Wuxin to realise that there're always higher mountains and better people."

Mo Wuxin had been extremely gifted and favored by her, hardly having any setbacks along the way, except for advancing into the Golden Pill Stage.

A little setback now, especially from someone she looked down upon, would help refine her mind.

Moreover, if things go well, the two would definitely end up together. This setback would help Mo Wuxin manage her temper, facilitating their future coexistence.

Nangong Suyi kept an eye on the duo. As Mo Wuxin regained her strength, Xu Mu started applying his techniques again to overpower Mo Wuxin.

The process repeated multiple times until Mo Wuxin admitted defeat, only then did Xu Mu let her go and officially began to assist Mo Wuxin in harmonizing her internal energy to aid her breakthrough to the Golden Pill stage.

"This bastard!"

Nangong Suyi let out a playful scold.

As she watched the actions of her disciples, she thought of her own experience - whirling dizziness, unsteadiness as though from another world, the trembling that left her incapable of thought...

Her vision was hazy,

Flowers viewed in a dream,

Hovering between reality and illusion,

Even breathing was a great challenge!

She yearned for it yet was scared of it,

Frightened that it was addictive and she wouldn't be able to stop!
