Chapter 1249: Fuzzy Plan

rgot all about Ripples' predicament because a black molten worm's maw fired directly at their heads.The deadly thread stretched endlessly at this moment, circling around her in ripples, protecting her..."Yes, Master!"

Each blossom's stem twisted, and it plunged into the Linghua Garden, vanishing in an instant.

"Master, this is most likely a bastard child."

The whirlwind swished its tail and said.

“Judging by the attitudes of the other three brothers towards Mo Shangchen, this girl is most likely not a cultivator. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let her come to the door. It's clear that she's here to share in the spoils, a younger sister they wouldn't welcome.”

Ripple spoke.

However, the girl returned to the City Lord's Mansion. At least she was well-fed and clothed, able to enjoy a life of wealth and comfort for half her life. That wasn't bad either.

The whirlwind continued, "He was a stray cat after all, encountering his owner was a stroke of luck. So at heart, he's more like an ordinary person.

That's not necessarily true. As siblings, others can cultivate and become immortals, but she is the only one slowly aging and living a mediocre life. People with bad attitudes are prone to extremes.

Ripple understood human nature too well, so her words were very certain. But suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, fleetingly fast that she almost couldn't catch it. She paused stroking the Whirlwind's mane and immediately her brain started to whir, contemplating the possibility of such an action.

On the other side, DuoDuo was at the forefront, eating melons and watching Mo ShangChen calmly deal with the two women, one big and one small.

"Master, my mistress has passed away. Before she died, she entrusted me to bring the young miss to Lord Cheng's Mansion. She said that Old Master Mo would recognize his own child and wouldn't ask for the young miss to cultivate, only that her life be protected and she live a carefree life from now on."

The woman looked to be in her twenties, with the cultivation of a Qi Foundation early stage. She must have promised something to the young girl's mother for her to escort her all the way to Moshang City as a mortal.

At this time, she handed a pendant from her hand to Mo Shangchen. This was a token, so that Mo Shangchen would not refuse it.

And the seven-year-old girl who had remained silent all along, simply held onto the foundation-building woman's skirt tightly, her courage a little lacking. She stared with helpless eyes at the imposing man seated above, who was rumored to be her third older brother.

When Mo Shangchen took the spiritual pendant, he knew at once that it belonged to his romantic father. No wonder people dared to come looking for him directly.

"This item truly belongs to my family's home, but my father is currently in seclusion..."

"Sir, I am only responsible for bringing people to the City Lord's Mansion. As for Miss's stay, it depends on the City Lord's wishes. I must return to report, so I will not stay long."

The founding woman arched her hand, then skillfully pulled the little girl's hand away and smiled at her:

"Li Meng, this is your father's home. You will stay here from now on. Here you can grow up safely."

"But I want Mother..."

The little girl's eyes instantly turned red. She didn't know why the people close to her always left in the end. Could she really be the jinx that Yuan Ge said she was

"Li Meng, your wife has passed away. The people in her family don't want you there anymore. It's better for you to stay here. Do you remember what I taught you on the road"

Remember.

Li Meng answered in a choked voice.

Just remember, live well. One day you'll find the truth. You're too young now. The most important thing is to grow up well, okay

The foundation-building female cultivator also seemed a little reluctant, but she still spoke in a low voice and instructed.

"Auntie Ding, I remember."

Xiao Li Meng cried and agreed, finally letting go of her little paws.

Looking at the last close person leave, Li Meng felt very sad and started to cry silently. She didn't dare to cry out loud, fearing that the San Ge in front of her would dislike her too.

Mo Shangchen rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly waving his hand to the steward:

"Make arrangements for my younger sister to live in a courtyard. Don't neglect her, and wait until father returns before discussing the details."

"Yes, young master."

The housekeeper put on a friendly smile, picked up Miss Li Meng, and left the living room.

Mo Shangchen helplessly sent a transmission talisman to his own father. As long as the other party left the customs, they would receive it, and all that was left was to wait. After all, he was just an ordinary child, raising him wouldn't be troublesome, and it wouldn't encroach on their siblings' interests. In his view, it wasn't a big deal at all.

Duoduo ate the inside scoop and figured out where the little girl was living. She went back to Lianyi's side and told her everything that happened.

How was that little girl behaving

"She seemed pretty docile. Knowing I would have to live alone in the future, she mumbled to herself for a long time, looking at me as if I were an ordinary flower, before finally going back inside to sleep. I stayed in her yard for a while, watching to see if anything happened, then returned."

Dodo wagged her flower tray and spoke.

"Have you visited the place where the city lord is in seclusion"

From afar, I sensed a distinct fluctuation in the spiritual energy of his secluded dwelling. He must be nearing a breakthrough in rank.

Duo Duo immediately said.

The City Lord's secluded place must be heavily guarded, but Doudou is a fifth-rank spirit cultivator after all, so she should still be able to sense it.

"Alright then, let's help him out. I'll be reaching the Yuan Ying stage in two days. You figure out a way to channel all the spiritual energy from Lian Xi Ye and the others to where the City Lord is meditating."

Yes, Master!

The leaves trembled, and it immediately obeyed.

Liàn Yī thought for a moment, then tossed another piece of Lingshuǐ to Duoduo and said:

"Adding this piece of spirit essence should be enough for him to advance in rank."

"Master, you're too generous! This is spiritual marrow."

Dodo wiped her mouth and said.

"You can't keep a wolf from getting to the child! Go prepare, don't let them notice you."

Yes!

Two days later, the sky above the City Lord's Mansion crackled with lightning and thunder, dark clouds gathered, and the oppressive power of a bolt from the blue spread. People in the City Lord's Mansion immediately sensed it.

Mo Shangchen was the first to know. He looked towards the direction where the tribulation thunder formed, his heart filled with joy. As expected of him, the one he had high hopes for, he had already advanced within a year.

When facing the tribulation, Duo Duo swallowed all the spiritual energy of several people in the gathering spirit formation without hesitation. Then, she burrowed into the ground and smuggled the spiritual energy to the place where the city lord was in seclusion. She then placed the spirit marrow at the center of the gathering spirit formation, causing the spiritual energy around the city lord's secluded place to surge dramatically.

Mo Shangwei, who was deep in seclusion and crucial to the situation, suddenly felt an opportunity for a spiritual baptism. He immediately circulated his cultivation technique, seizing this chance to advance to the Divine Transformation stage. He charged at the barrier of the Divine Soul stage for a whole month, and suddenly with a crack, the barrier shattered. He ascended to the Divine Transformation stage, and a bolt of tribulation thunder immediately formed above his head.

After achieving the Yuan Ying stage, ripples didn't leave the seclusion. He used the excuse of stabilizing his cultivation to stay in his courtyard, drawing talismans and secretly observing the little girl Li Meng.

So in the moment a tribulation lightning formed above the Lord's Manor, she sensed it. This time the Lord was truly undergoing a tribulation, her previous one had been a fabrication using the Illusory Sky Fox's innate divine ability and an array formation. Naturally, the two were incomparable.

Ripple's figure flashed and appeared beside Mo Shangchen. Two women and a man stood beside him, apparently Mo Shangchen's good siblings.

"Friend on the path, congratulations in advance. The lord's cultivation will reach a new level."

Ripples smiled and congratulated.

"Thank you, Father. You've always worked so hard. This promotion came sooner than expected, I guess it's because of your promotion."haven't given up on the investigation. That's why they sent the werewolf to warn you. And from the scent still lingering on you, I can confirm that the other party is an artificial werewolf.As for tur...
