I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 432 - 76: Blended Family, It’s Tough Being a Stepfather

Chapter 432: Chapter 76: Blended Family, It’s Tough Being a Stepfather

But he didn’t understand how the Sect Leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect, who was only three years older than himself, suddenly gained the strength to rival Yi Hongchen.

"It’s only been a short time since he went into closed-door cultivation inside the Qianyuan Golden Tripod. How can the world change so quickly that I can’t even understand it?" Chu Tiange muttered to himself, not daring to make a move.

After all, the Treasure he relied on for protection, the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, had already been taken by Lu Chengfeng, and although he didn’t know what Lu’s intentions were, Yi Hongchen was clearly bent on killing him.

While Chu Tiange was pondering his options, Lu Chengfeng waved his hand and smiled at Yi Hongchen, saying, "If I return the Qianyuan Golden Tripod to the True Monarch now, then the day the True Monarch achieves success might just be my death day."

"So I propose a deal with the True Monarch."

"A deal?!" Yi Hongchen’s eyes shifted slightly, vaguely guessing something, "Go on, speak."

"As far as I know, the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate has also arrived in Red County and is severely injured, and has opposed the True Monarch many times before." Lu Chengfeng said casually, "I would like to invite the True Monarch to join me in hunting him down, to help me obtain the Talisman Decree of the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate."

"You have quite the ambition. The foundation of a Venerate is incredibly deep, and even when severely injured, it’s far beyond an ordinary True Immortal. Just being able to repel him is already commendable, yet you intend to kill him?" Yi Hongchen chuckled despite having already guessed as much.

"Still, I’m curious, where did you get the information about the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate, even knowing he’s injured."

"Moreover, in this desolate place of Red County, you were able to silently cultivate to such a level in such a short time. Without a Talisman Decree on you, I’d think you’re some Great Power from the Divine State reincarnated."

Lu Chengfeng laughed heartily, "The True Monarch praises me too highly. I’ve just had a bit of luck, nothing compared to the True Monarch. Though Red County is desolate, it holds many rare opportunities."

"I happened to stumble upon some secrets!"

"If the True Monarch helps me acquire the Talisman Decree of the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing True Monarch, then I will return the Qianyuan Golden Tripod with both hands, how about it?!"

Yi Hongchen replied ambiguously, "To exchange a mere Qianyuan Golden Tripod for a Venerate’s Talisman Decree, you speak boldly."

"Moreover, you only mention the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, but what about Chu Tiange?"

When Yi Hongchen suddenly fixed him with a cold stare, Chu Tiange felt as if the Void around him turned into an impregnable fortress, with golden light gathering into spears, ready to strike at any moment.

His Lifebound Primordial Spirit felt an unparalleled chill, as if death could come any moment. He bared his teeth in disbelief, "This woman is too fierce. I’ve never suffered such a loss before. I’m a traverser with golden fingers!"

"Woman, just you wait. When I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I will make you kneel and sing surrender!"

Lu Chengfeng, with his Spirit Light enveloping the man, vaguely sensed some of his Heart Thoughts and couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. If it weren’t for his Spirit Light, Yi Hongchen might flay him alive, extract his Primordial Spirit, and use it as a lamp.

"He actually thinks he’s a traverser with golden fingers... Seems like the Great Emperor set up his reincarnated self with memories of a traverser’s rise..."

Just as he thought of this, a thought struck him, "Chu Tiange is a reincarnated form of the Great Emperor, his memories and golden fingers are set by the original, but what about me?"

"Could my Gifted Talent be so mysterious because..."

He took a deep breath, stopping his thoughts, and instead stood in front of Chu Tiange, blocking Yi Hongchen’s gaze, smiling as he said, "True Monarch, please forgive me, I once trained in the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect as a disciple of your esteemed Sect."

"I fell in love at first sight with Elder Chu in the Celestial Law Sect, and now we have privately pledged ourselves."

"Though Tiange isn’t my biological son, I could be considered his father by seniority."

"How could I hand him over to you?"

Chu Tiange, hearing this, felt as if struck by lightning, his whole being numbed. When he finally came to his senses, his face turned crimson red, veins bulging on his neck as he gritted his teeth and roared, "Lu Chengfeng, I’m your father. Damn you..."

Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, and the Hidden Dragon Pearl spun around, colored rays suppressing him temporarily, rendering him speechless.

"Children are ignorant and talk nonsense. I hope the True Monarch doesn’t take offense."

Yi Hongchen also twitched at the corner of his mouth. This guy was only three years older than Chu Tiange, yet he pretended to be a father. No wonder Chu Tiange was so angry; anyone would be shattered by that.

"As his father, I naturally can’t hand over my son." Lu Chengfeng patted his chest with a posture of a good father, "But rest assured, True Monarch, I will ensure Tiange hands over the True Immortal Talisman Decree, and as for the Divine Techniques, we can reforge a Magical Treasure from the prototype so Tiange’s life isn’t at risk."

"Isn’t this a win-win?"

Yi Hongchen’s gaze was deep, "To refine one’s Divine Technique prototype into a Magical Treasure needs willingness. Are you sure he’d agree?"

Lu Chengfeng sighed, "As a restructured family, we each have our struggles; being a stepfather is tough!"

Yi Hongchen couldn’t help but nearly leave in frustration at his pretend attitude, saying, "Enough with the nonsense. If you can’t solve this, there’s no point in our deal."

Lu Chengfeng coughed twice, "The True Monarch must know, I’ve also practiced the Divine Techniques from the North Nether Abyss. If my son doesn’t agree, I, as his father, can sacrifice my technique."

"As for the True Immortal Talisman Decree, even if he won’t listen to me, he’ll listen to his mother."

"At that time, I’ll have his mother persuade him."

Yi Hongchen was so disgusted by him that she transformed into a beam of Immortal Light and soared into the Nine Heavens.

"If you want to strike a deal with me, first see if you’re qualified to." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"I’ll wait for you in the sky, let’s settle this with a duel."

Lu Chengfeng sighed, "In the end, it still comes down to a fight. Women, always fond of fighting, what’s the point?"

He beckoned, the Hidden Dragon Pearl spun back into his palm, emitting colorful halos.

Chu Tiange was unsealed, flushed with shame and anger, and screamed hysterically, "Lu Chengfeng, if you dare insult my mother’s reputation again, I will fight you to the death."

"Dear son, I know you can’t accept it now, but let your mother explain it!" Lu Chengfeng held up the Hidden Dragon Pearl with a smile, "Your mother is in my Grotto Heaven now, why don’t you go in and ask?"
