"Hey, you brat!"
"You're prying at your own ancestor's doorstep!"
"You're quite filial!"
"High-level spiritual energy techniques, cultivation methods, cultivation treasures!"
"Do you know what these things represent in the cultivation world?"
"And you want two or three of each!"
"Do you think these are cabbages from your backyard?"
"Do you think you can have as many as you want?"
"Since you're so boastful, why don't you give this girl something yourself!"
"That way, you won't bother this old bone like me, right?"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhou Shenglong was so angered that he laughed!
He had lived for thousands of years and had seen all sorts of situations!
But an operation as shameless as Zhou Xuan's today!
He truly saw it for the first time!
To this old monster whose eyebrows had long since vanished.
Zhou Xuan's little schemes were so clear to him that even if he were in outer space.
He could hear them perfectly!
Giving the prospective granddaughter-in-law a meeting gift.
Was clearly this fellow's attempt to line his own pockets.
Using Lu Linger as an excuse to mooch off him!
"Hey!"
"Old ancestor, what are you saying!"
"You are the elder, so of course, you should be the one to give the meeting gift!"
"Besides, you know how poor I am!"
"I was raised by my master since I was young. Besides a cultivation method he himself practiced!"
"The most impressive thing I have is a high-level spiritual energy technique!"
"And this high-level spiritual energy technique requires the use of a weapon!"
"How could I possibly present such a thing as a gift?"
"But you are different!"
"Who are you!"
"You are a great figure who reached the Ascension Realm a thousand years ago!"
"Even a little something that leaks from your hands is a treasure to us!"
"Only someone of your status can give a decent gift!"
"So!"
"It's not that I'm unwilling to give her something, it's just that compared to you!"
"I have nothing presentable to give!"
"So, shouldn't the meeting gift be given by you personally?"
"Hiss, it seems like what you're saying has some logic to it!"
"But why do I feel something is still not quite right?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhou Shenglong hesitated for a moment.
Upon careful consideration, he felt that what Zhou Xuan said did indeed have some merit.
After all, even in their era, if a junior brought their beloved girl home!
The elders of the family would always give the girl a small gift.
The gift didn't have to be very valuable, but it represented the male family's approval.
And now, Zhou Xuan was his only descendant!
He brought his girlfriend to his territory.
It seemed he really should prepare a gift!
Otherwise, as Zhou Xuan said, if you don't acknowledge others!
Why would others contribute to your family's lineage and prosperity?
With this thought, Zhou Shenglong no longer hesitated.
He directly called out to Lu Linger in front of him.
"Girl, because I am currently only in a soul state!"
"So I cannot carry any of my previous possessions with me!"
"For a moment, I truly cannot produce anything decent as a gift!"
"How about this, just as that brat said!"
"I will impart to you a supreme cultivation method!"
"And teach you a signature skill that I was most proud of in my day!"
"Consider this my meeting gift to you!"
As he spoke, Zhou Shenglong raised his right hand.
And was about to directly transfer his power to Lu Linger.
However, at this moment, Lu Linger, who had just been called closer.
Slipped aside, evading Zhou Shenglong's finger.
"Ancestor, don't listen to Brother Xuan's nonsense!"
"He was trying to trick you just now!"
"I haven't properly repaid your life-saving grace yet!"
"How can I be so shameless as to ask you to give me a gift!"
"This is absolutely not allowed!"
Seeing Lu Linger's action, Zhou Shenglong's expression changed slightly.
Just as he thought Lu Linger was not satisfied with his offer.
He suddenly heard Lu Linger's explanation.
Immediately, his heart developed a greater affection for this future granddaughter-in-law!
"Hey, girl!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Since you will be part of the Zhou family in the future!"
"As an elder, I naturally have to prepare a gift for you!"
"If it weren't for my current limited circumstances!"
"I would have truly prepared more for you, just as that brat said earlier!"
"Now, as long as you don't dislike it!"
"There's no need to talk about repayment!"
"But..."
"There's no 'but' about it!"
"You must accept this gift!"
"It represents the goodwill of our Zhou family!"
"If you don't accept it, it means you look down on our Zhou family!"
"Ling'er!"
"Since the ancestor has said it to this extent!"
"You should accept it quickly!"
"You cannot defy the kindness of elders!"
"Besides, even if I wanted such benefits!"
"Ancestor wouldn't be willing to give them to me!"
Seeing Lu Linger still hesitant, Zhou Xuan also chimed in to persuade her!
For heaven's sake, he had gone through so much trouble!
He had finally managed to secure such a sliver of opportunity from his "stingy" ancestor for Lu Linger!
If Lu Linger were to give it up just like that.
He would truly wish he could die!
After all, what he had said earlier was not just a joke!
Although Zhou Shenglong was his ancestor!
Except for the time when he needed to quickly break through to the late stage of the Creation Realm.
To contend for the other half of the Zhou family's Void Ring.
Zhou Shenglong had reluctantly helped him once.
Allowing him to cultivate within the ring's space!
Zhou Shenglong had not provided him with any other assistance since.
As for high-level spiritual energy techniques and cultivation methods like these!
Zhou Xuan had never even seen a single hair of them.
Sometimes, Zhou Xuan wondered!
Whether his ancestor was truly this stingy, or if there was some other reason!
"This..."
"Fine then!"
"Junior Ling'er thanks the ancestor for his kindness!"
Seeing that even Zhou Xuan had said so!
Lu Linger could not refute any further.
She could only obediently walk up to Zhou Shenglong.
And allow Zhou Shenglong's finger to touch her forehead.
A moment later, Lu Linger felt two massive streams of information surge into her mind!
Shaking her slightly dizzy head.
Lu Linger bowed to Zhou Shenglong again, expressing her gratitude.
Then she slowly walked back to Zhou Xuan's side.
"How was it, Ling'er!"
"What did the ancestor impart to you!"
"How was the quality?"
Seeing Lu Linger walk back to him.
Zhou Xuan paid no mind to Zhou Shenglong still being present.
He immediately asked Lu Linger about the results with anticipation!
"The ancestor imparted two things to me!"
"One is a high-level spiritual energy technique called Space Rend!"
"And the other is a cultivation method called Immortal Spirit Art!"
"As for their quality!"
Saying this, Lu Linger paused slightly.
She turned to look at Zhou Xuan's somewhat eager face.
Only when Zhou Xuan could no longer bear it.
And was about to ask about the quality again.
Did Lu Linger chuckle and continue speaking!
"The quality, of course, is extremely high!"
"Since the ancestor said this is a gift for his granddaughter-in-law!"
"Do you think their quality could be bad?"
