Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 367 - 199: Entrustment, Dragon and Phoenix Twins, Lottery (Part 2)

Chapter 367: Chapter 199: Entrustment, Dragon and Phoenix Twins, Lottery (Part 2)

The three of them waited for a while.

Only then did Yu Qingru appear. She greeted them and said:

"Apologies, fellow cultivators. There were some miscellaneous affairs in the clan that needed urgent handling, which caused my delay and made you wait for so long."

The three naturally had no complaints.

The group of four smoothly arrived at Wanning Marketplace.

Fu Changsheng had already sent clan members to register with the World Suppression Bureau in advance, so when the four arrived at South Huai Prefecture, they went straight to the Bureau. Master Cao was in seclusion, so it was Master Liu who handled their promotion affairs.

The procedure was completed.

When Yu Qingru received the Ninth-Grade Noble Family Jade Seal, her eyes reddened with excitement.

Her grandmother, on her deathbed, was still worried about her. Now, not only had she successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but she also promoted the Yu Family to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family.

Her grandmother could finally rest in peace under the nether world.

As the Yu Family was conferred, Fu Changsheng also sensed a change in the Fu Family Jade Seal. The orange fortune, which had been only one third, suddenly increased significantly—almost half of it had turned from red to orange.

Upon being conferred as Ninth Grade.

He had already blessed the clan members with Noble Family Fortune.

If they successfully advanced to Eighth Grade, there should be even more slots available for the blessing.

After leaving the World Suppression Bureau.

Yu Qingru specifically booked a private room at the All-Seeing Tower, insisting on treating Fu Changsheng and the other two to a meal. Cao and Hee left earlier due to concerns over clan affairs.

Fu Changsheng could not refuse.

Thus, he followed Yu Qingru to the All-Seeing Tower.

The All-Seeing Tower was no ordinary restaurant; the private rooms included resting quarters, a living room, and a dining hall, belonging to the Wanning Commerce Association. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely, if ever, set foot here.

This private room was charged by the day.

Each day cost two hundred Spirit Stones, though it included a formal meal.

Once inside the private room.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in Fu Changsheng’s mind:

"Ding"

"A Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family has appeared in your fiefdom, earning you one thousand Contribution Points."

Immediately after.

The family contribution points on the panel increased from sixteen hundred to twenty-six hundred.

Fu Changsheng’s lips slightly curved up.

In his pleasant mood, he gladly accepted each drink Yu Qingru handed him, not leaving a drop.

After downing three bottles of wine.

Fu Changsheng was somewhat tipsy.

He felt that while the wine was excellent, it was overly intoxicating.

Having drunk sufficiently.

Fu Changsheng prepared to take his leave, but Yu Qingru waved her sleeve, shutting the door with a snap, and, with a flash of Dawn Light, summoned Array Flags from a storage bag.

With a flick of her finger.

A pink incense stick ignited with a puff.

Fu Changsheng frowned:

"Miss Qingru, what are you doing?"

"Patriarch, do you remember my grandmother’s last request to you?"

Yu Qingru was also semi-drunk.

The originally spirited eyes now turned enchanting and alluring.

Having been in seclusion for nine years without female companionship, Fu Changsheng, under the influence of alcohol and the burning scent of the incense, was also feeling a bit heady.

Alone with a woman in a room.

Sparks flew as their eyes met.

Compared to Cao Xiang’er.

Fu Changsheng had been acquainted with Yu Qingru since his teenage years, knowing each other’s background well.

Moreover.

Granny Yu had mentioned such matters earlier.

However, Qingru was then focusing on Foundation Establishment, and Fu Changsheng was occupied with family affairs, causing the matter to pause. Now, past interactions resurfaced in their minds as they were intoxicated.

For a moment.

The room was filled with warmth and intimacy.

The following morning.

When Fu Changsheng awoke, he found Yu Qingru had already left, but a letter remained on the pillow.

The letter mentioned two things.

First, Yu Qingru intended to pretend that nothing happened last night, and she didn’t want a third person to know, stating that their relationship would remain unchanged.

Second.

If Yu Qingru became pregnant.

She hoped to raise the child herself.

Fu Changsheng read the neat handwriting on the letter once more, carefully placing it inside a white wood-grained box, sealing it with a restriction.

Then, in his mind, he heard a buzzing sound.

A familiar mechanical voice chimed:

"Ding"

"After consummating with Yu Qingru, you successfully conceived a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, earning three hundred Contribution Points."

Immediately.

The contribution points on the panel changed again, rising to twenty-nine hundred.

Fu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, never expecting a single encounter to result in twins. Despite drinking several bottles of yellow wine, claiming he lost consciousness would be a lie.

The encounter with Yu Qingru last night.

He had hoped this would strengthen his influence over the Yu family.

Only trustworthy insiders were reliable; given the Yu Family’s impoverished state, it would be impossible for them to advance to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family within ten years without the Fu Family’s support. Yet apart from Granny Yu and Yu Qingru, he had no other significant interactions with the family; he couldn’t just keep supporting them endlessly.

But if this family legacy were to be inherited by his child, then he’d willingly invest his efforts.

After all, even if the child bears the Yu surname.

He would still be Fu Changsheng’s offspring.

Shortly after returning to his fief.

A decree arrived from the World Suppression Bureau.

In one month, participants heading to the Canglan Secret Realm were to gather at the South Huai Prefecture’s Bureau.

The Fu Family urgently convened the Elder Council.

Fu Molan had already emerged from seclusion, having successfully reached the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. Everyone gathered together.

Once assembled.

Fu Changsheng said:

"This meeting is to address two topics. First, besides the three spots we sold, our Fu Family still has six spots to enter the Canglan Secret Realm. Currently, our Foundation Establishment members include Molan, Meizhen, my fourth sister, third brother, and Uncle Fei, altogether six people."
