Chapter 214: Golden Core Charm, Departure!_3
```
"Go!"
Nangong Mili immediately suppressed her emotions, took on her master's authority, and planned to take Meng Xiaochan away with her.
"Hmm? Are you planning to leave?"
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and looked toward Nangong Mili, who was pulling Meng Xiaochan along.
He could tell Nangong Mili was intending to leave.
Moreover, he faintly felt that the emotional bond between Nangong Mili and himself was wavering.
It meant that Nangong Mili was struggling to break free from the influence of the Lockheart Gu.
"It seems, the Lockheart Gu still struggles to fully bind a Nascent Soul Immortal,"
Lu Changsheng sighed slightly in his heart.
He knew the Lockheart Gu was yet unable to silently and subtly affect Nangong Mili.
He looked at Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan, saying, "Mili, Xiao Chan, are you preparing to leave?"
Nangong Mili trembled at his words.
Her expression was majestic and enchantingly beautiful as she looked at Lu Changsheng, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and she said indifferently, "What, do you intend to stop me?"
With her words, an imposing aura began to rise around her.
Although she had made a Heart Demon Oath not to harm Lu Changsheng,
if Lu Changsheng dared to stop her, even at the risk of Heart Demon backlash, she would strike him down.
"How much of your strength has recovered?"
Lu Changsheng watched Nangong Mili, quietly thoughtful, and then asked.
He knew that he couldn't stop Nangong Mili from leaving.
Moreover, he had no intention of taking Nangong Mili back home.
It wasn't realistic.
Nor did he have the conditions to do so.
However, Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan were currently wanted and pursued by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
If their strength wasn't sufficient, trying to return to the Jin Kingdom could be very dangerous.
"Thirty percent."
Nangong Mili's voice was calm and indifferent.
It lacked the usual seductive charm.
And also the cold sharpness of frost.
"Thirty percent?"
Lu Changsheng, hearing this,
knew that with this level of strength, as long as she didn't encounter a Nascent Soul Immortal, she wouldn't have much of a problem.
Although he had thoughts of continuing to heal Nangong Mili,
by the looks of it, Nangong Mili didn't seem to want to continue this way.
Regarding this, Lu Changsheng wouldn't force her.
And he couldn't force her either.
Moreover, he himself was in a hurry to return home.
From here back to Qingzhu Mountain, the journey would still take two to three months.
To ensure Nangong Mili's complete recovery, he estimated that it would require staying here for several more months, or even a year and a half.
By that time, his family would definitely be worried about him.
After some thought, Lu Changsheng's mana surged within him.
A gray bead shrouded in mist appeared in his hand.
It was the Misty Sky Bead.
Although Nangong Mili had recovered thirty percent of her strength,
her body possessed the Profound Yin Alluring Body, her charm unrivaled.
Even if she were to change her appearance, she would still attract attention.
The disguise offered by the Misty Sky Bead, impenetrable even to Nascent Soul Immortals, could help Nangong Mili change her appearance and conceal her magic aura,
aiding in her escape from Jiang Country.
This was currently, the most he could do for Nangong Mili.
"This bead is called 'Misty Sky,' and it has the Misty Sky Illusion Ability,"
"It can not only change one's appearance and conceal one's magic aura but also completely disguise someone as another person."
"Such a disguise, even average Nascent Soul Immortals would find hard to see through,"
Lu Changsheng told Nangong Mili, as he spoke.
In the meantime, he activated the Misty Sky Bead, his appearance, body shape, voice, and magic aura constantly changing.
"Misty Sky Bead? Even Golden Cores find it hard to see through the disguise?"
Nangong Mili, seeing Lu Changsheng's changing face, body shape, voice, and magic aura, narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly.
She scanned him with her Divine Sense.
Indeed, she couldn't find any flaws in his disguise.
```
This surprised Nangong Mili.
She faintly guessed the reason why Lu Changsheng suddenly spoke to her about this.
"This Misty Sky Bead should be of some help to you,"
After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, he erased his imprint on the Misty Sky Bead and threw it directly to Nangong Mili.
Nangong Mili's exquisitely enchanting face paused in astonishment.
Looking at the Misty Sky Bead in front of her, her heart welled with emotions that were difficult to articulate, and her gaze turned distant.
From the simple demonstration Lu Changsheng had just performed, she had already perceived the power of the Misty Sky Bead.
She knew it was an extremely rare and precious treasure.
Yet at this moment, Lu Changsheng was giving it to her so readily.
Deep down, however, she didn't wish to have any entanglement with Lu Changsheng any longer.
"Take it,"
"And you don't need to hurry to leave."
"If you don't want to stay with me for long, I can leave now, and you can continue to heal here," Lu Changsheng said, looking at the changing expression on Nangong Mili's face.
Without waiting for Nangong Mili to respond,
he took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag.
All of these were Second Rank Talismans.
"Xiao Chan, keep these talismans close to you and take good care of your master," Lu Changsheng stepped forward, handed the talismans to Meng Xiaochan, and said warmly.
Meng Xiaochan looked at the talismans and, hearing his words, paused slightly, not understanding the meaning behind his words.
Although her master was in a weakened state,
and her injuries had not yet recovered,
surely there was no need for her to take care of her, right?
Biting her red lips and lowering her phoenix eyes with a face that shifted between cloudy and clear, Nangong Mili understood upon hearing these words that Lu Changsheng knew she was pregnant.
Otherwise, he would never have said such things.
Although she didn't know how Lu Changsheng found out about her pregnancy,
after spending some time together, through the Yin Yang Energies, the Misty Sky Bead, and her own and Meng Xiaochan's situation, she realized profoundly that Lu Changsheng was not simple.
It was plausible that he had some special method of detection.
"Xiao Chan, keep this Yin Yang Sensing Talisman. When I have time, I will come to Jin Kingdom to visit you,"
"Of course, if you ever come to Jiang Country, you can also come to see me,"
Lu Changsheng, seeing Meng Xiaochan's reluctance to leave him and her unwillingness to return with Nangong Mili,
knew he could not suggest Meng Xiaochan stay while sending Nangong Mili back alone.
If he dared to do so, Nangong Mili would definitely explode.
Having said that, he gently embraced Meng Xiaochan.
Then he turned towards Ling Zixiao and said, "Let's go, Zi Xiao."
"Okay."
Ling Zixiao, witnessing this scene, even though she did not understand what it all meant,
felt that something must have happened between Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili.
Otherwise, Lu Changsheng would not have acted as he did.
She faintly guessed it had something to do with the drastic change in Lu Changsheng's attitude towards Nangong Mili from before.
"Miss Meng, these are the 'Inverted Five Element Formation' and 'Minor Sky Veil Formation' array plates and instructions on how to use them," Ling Zixiao took out two array plates and a jade slip from her storage bag,
which were precisely for the formations set up here.
"Thank you, Miss Ling," Meng Xiaochan accepted the array plates and thanked her.
Then the two boarded the spirit boat,
"Mili, Xiao Chan, take care on your way. We shall meet again," Lu Changsheng looked towards Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan, took a deep breath, and said.
"Lu Lang, until we meet again," Meng Xiaochan looked at Lu Changsheng, her eyes filled with reluctance, and spoke as she bit her lips.
Nangong Mili's expression continually changed, revealing a look as if she had words to say but halted.
Eventually, she suppressed the sourness in her heart along with various other emotions, closed her phoenix eyes gently, and chose not to look at Lu Changsheng as she sat down to meditate nearby.
"Mm," Lu Changsheng nodded, taking another glance at Nangong Mili by his side,
Then the spirit boat 'whooshed' and turned into a beam of light, shooting into the sky.
