Chapter 881: Chapter 702: Celebrating the New Year with Two Fairies (Part 3)

As for being weak in strength and not too ambitious, is that a weakness?

Isn’t that a strength?

At least the Demon Sect can use it with confidence!

And those other formidable Heavenly Demons in the Demon Domain, no matter how strong they are, can they surpass the Demon Sect? They can forget about being the emperor, it’s enough to be a general under the emperor...

This is called making the best use of one’s talents.

Han Yan understood this profound truth and sighed, "No wonder you managed to enter the officialdom and secure a third-rank official position within just half a year, and easily nab the Marquis title — you’ve clearly seen through the entire imperial authority arena..."

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently, "Moon Demon Fairy, your brother-in-law became the Demon Emperor, and your sister is now the Empress, aren’t you going back to Demon City for a family reunion and share in the glory this Spring Festival?"

Moon Demon got anxious, "I’ve already bought the groceries. I... I... I’m spending the New Year here. I’ve already talked it over with my sister, and she agreed. You all agreed too. We promised each other, didn’t we, young master?"

"Alright then!" Lin Xiaosu’s gaze shifted to Han Yan.

"Agreed!" Han Yan declared.

Moon Demon happily picked up a small basket, "Han Yan, my dear sister, let’s go and prepare the vegetables."

Lin Xiaosu sat in the pavilion, sipping tea.

The two women busied themselves in the kitchen, which Lin Xiaosu found quite affecting.

A Demon Emperor’s sister-in-law and a Tiandu Second Saintess were bustling in the kitchen, while their brother leisurely lounged in the pavilion — who could have imagined?

The strange thing was that the only sounds from the kitchen were of vegetables being prepared; they weren’t speaking, which was unusual. They must be using Divine Sense Communication to say something, right?

With Divine Sense Communication, there is no lip movement, so lip-reading is not possible either.

But, does that mean there is no way to eavesdrop?

Lin Xiaosu’s mind slightly stirred; perhaps there was something he could use, something that could come into play. Let’s see if this thing truly has such Great Divine Power.

With a thought, it seemed as if a Heavenly Window opened upon his Spirit Platform.

An invisible beam of light projected outward, enveloping the kitchen.

This was the Kindling Lamp.

His Kindling Lamp of the Human Race.

Under the coverage of the Kindling Lamp, Heavenly Dao was shielded.

In other words, in the space under this Kindling Lamp, he was the master of Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao could listen to the cultivator’s Divine Sense Communication, so could he, this temporary master?

If indeed possible, this Kindling Lamp would be truly terrifying.

Its uses would be incredibly broad.

His Detective Skill would shine brilliantly in this world.

This was a trial of the skill, Lin Xiaosu could swear on his already nonexistent innocence that he didn’t intentionally eavesdrop on the two women’s secrets.

Under the Kindling Lamp, he heard...

Moon Demon’s voice: "You mentioned betting, what did you bet with him?"

Han Yan replied angrily, "I just wanted to trick him into letting me hear some melodious tunes."

"Melodious tunes, that’s great. I want to listen too..." Moon Demon was very excited.

"You want to listen, then bring back some good news. Once your news gets back, he’d win, and the tunes would be off the table." Han Yan said.

Moon Demon was a bit frustrated, "News is just news, can I choose? It’s your fault for not judging the situation better. If you had, wouldn’t you have won?"

"It’s easy for you to say. Could you have anticipated it beforehand?" Han Yan retorted irritably.

"I couldn’t either. Who could be as clever as he is..." Moon Demon’s tone was full of pride.

"This is very strange, sister. His cleverness causes me frustration, yet you’re so proud. Whose side are you on?" Han Yan asked.

Moon Demon gave her a sideways glance and didn’t answer.

Han Yan added, "By the way, I must warn you, Sister Yue, you’re an exception among flowers, you represent purity. If your Tao Heart is compromised and something inappropriate happens this Spring Festival, your ’Heavenly Patrol Path’ of seeing with the moon will become a dead-end."

"I know, I..." Moon Demon took a deep breath, "I’m always controlling myself!"

"You’re controlling yourself? Then why must you have him stay for the New Year? I think you’re indulging yourself."

"He... he’s helped me so much, I... I... I just want... want to express a bit of gratitude, really." Moon Demon’s voice wavered a bit.

Han Yan stared at her calmly, "Sister Yue, you’ve been around men before. You know very well the truth that ’affection is poison on the path’. Why then jump into this pit?"

"I know this truth, but, but... I just like him, really, really like him. I feel if he were to be this far away from my world, even if I cultivate the ’Moon of Heaven Patrol’, it would be meaningless."

"Sister Yue, you’re... you’re beyond saving!!" Han Yan said each word with a tone of helplessness and deep speechlessness.

They could never have known, this conversation, originally just intimate talk between best friends, but in front of Lin’s Divine Artifact, was not private.

Every word was heard by Lin Xiaosu.

Heaven bears witness, he didn’t purposely eavesdrop.

He was really just testing the power of the Kindling Lamp, exploring its applications, but unintentionally caught this. Besides having some unusual feelings aroused in his heart, what else could he do?

It seems I’m in a situation similar to a lovestruck peach blossom spirit.

Traveling to the Demon Domain, it seems I bumped into a lovestruck peach blossom spirit.

With this new perspective, looking at the Moon Demon again, she seems slightly different.

This girl has both Fairy and Demoness qualities.

She appears extremely pure, yet exudes an all-encompassing mysterious allure.

This upcoming Spring Festival seems to be a trial of physiology...

The upcoming Spring Festival is sure to be a completely new experience for all three of them.

As the Tiandu Saintess, Han Yan is part of a culture that emphasizes transcendence, where all worldly customs should be shielded, the more thoroughly the better, to bring her closer to "immortality" and "Tao".

However, this Spring Festival, she was swept into the mundane daily life of oil, rice, seasoning by others.
