As for saying his biggest flaw is being 'weak'...

Applying the Time Daoist Skill to himself, thereby slowing his own time, he could fool the good disciple before him.

Yes, the good disciple is a dragon among men, exceptionally gifted and powerful, but still, he is merely a cultivator at the Nine Tribulations Realm.

Someone who hasn't mastered the Great Taoist Law could never detect the subtle use of the Time Skill.

The gap between the Nine Tribulations Realm and the Demon Saint Peak is vast, indeed very vast.

Thus, 'Xiao Yinruo' mimicked Xiao Yinruo's tone, posture, mimicked her movements, and everything about her...

Of course, the most important thing was that he accurately recounted the incident of secretly having an affair outside with him earlier; based on this, the good disciple wouldn't notice if it was Master or Aunt Ruo beneath him.

And now, Lu Jin'an, who had dispelled his doubts, wouldn't think twice and fully immersed himself in experiencing Aunt Ruo's allure.

Outside the house, the snow scene remained, but the sounds inside the hall gradually grew clearer, offering an unusual sense of alluring elegance.

At first listen, one could tell that the owner was cold and aloof, beautiful and noble.

And this alluring voice slowly merged into the endless night along with the heavy snowfall outside.

Tingquan Small House.

"Master, aren't you eating?"

Sitting at the dining table, Zhiyu munched on a meat bun, then a chicken leg, and looked at Zhu Nanzhi curiously.

Zhu Nanzhi shook her head gently, "Just let husband and Aunt Pei spend more time together."

Only now did the last trace of worry in her heart completely dissipate; the Palace Master, whom she had been addressing as Master for months, was indeed Aunt Pei. If not, her husband would have returned by now, and he wouldn't be lingering in the Yunqi Palace for this long.

Yet thinking about her husband and Aunt Pei being in her Master's bed chamber... Zhu Nanzhi felt somewhat strange.

But her husband and Aunt Pei should clean up afterwards, certainly wouldn't let Master notice anything unusual.

Zhu Nanzhi's eyes flickered with a smile as she patted Zhiyu's little head, "Eat more, it'll be hard to find good food later on."

Zhiyu tilted her head, looking at her curiously. Although she knew deep down it was due to her identity being exposed, she still asked naively, "Why? Is Master not going to make delicious food for Zhiyu?"

"He will be very busy, very busy." Zhu Nanzhi said softly, "So by then, you need to be more understanding, got it?"

"Oh~"

Zhiyu responded, continuing to focus on the delicious food before her.

Zhu Nanzhi watched her with doting eyes, but swallowed the thought of letting Zhiyu stay in Qingmiao Palace.

After all, there's no safer place for the Human Clan than Wandao Sect.

If Wandao Sect couldn't protect Zhiyu, then nowhere else could.

As for herself...

She originally intended to spend more time with her husband, but now, she decided to stay in the palace and go into seclusion.

Her husband was about to become immortal, she couldn't fall too far behind, not aiming to help him, but at least not dragging him down.

A dinner was soon completely consumed by Zhiyu, who wiped her mouth and immediately ran outside, prompting Zhu Nanzhi to ask quickly, "Where are you going, don't disturb…"

"Zhiyu is going to cultivate!"

Zhiyu's loud response echoed as she quickly ran out the room; not long after, Zhu Nanzhi heard the muffled thunderclap resounding over the Sky Dome.

Hurriedly, she went to the window to see, Zhiyu was crossing tribulation!

Seeing this, Zhu Nanzhi felt a surge of comfort, truly her husband's good disciple~

But was there anything particular about the Dragon Clan's crossing tribulation that needed attention?

While pondering, Zhu Nanzhi quickly went out to duly invite the rigid Supreme Elder to lend a hand,

As for Master, she casually used the excuse that Master was in seclusion, attempting to break through Mid Divine Concealment.

Anyway, her husband and Aunt Pei would certainly notice the disturbance here, so no mishap would occur.

After settling everything, Zhu Nanzhi found an open space to comprehend her own Daoist skills, and now she too could start preparing for immortality.

······

In Yunqi Palace.

Lu Jin'an, already perspiring slightly on his forehead, paused in his movement and glanced towards the window position, where the Dragon Breath from Zhiyu's breakthrough drifted.

Xiao Yinruo raised her hand to brush the hair from her forehead aside, her mature and voluptuous body gently rising and falling with her breath as she softly inquired, "Zhiyu is growing up, but... will she cling to you like last time?"

Hearing her voice, a smile flashed in Lu Jin'an's eyes, "Since she didn't come to find me, it shows she has confidence in herself, she's really grown up."

At this moment, he had no doubt about the identity of the beauty beneath him; if it wasn't Aunt Ruo, how could she know about the first time Zhiyu crossed tribulation and clung to him?

"Do you want to go check?"

"No need." Lu Jin'an shook his head, once again looking at Xiao Yinruo's charming face, like peach blossoms in March. Aunt Ruo, like Nanzhi, had a goose egg face exuding national grace and divine elegance, but because Aunt Ruo's peach blossom eyes, she exuded a more captivating charm than Nanzhi.

This was a kind of inexplicable allure, enough to make someone deeply entranced, difficult to extricate.

"Take it easy~" Xiao Yinruo lightly nibbled her red lip, "If not, how will you explain to Wanyu when you return later?"

Lu Jin'an chuckled, "Master would never link it to you." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Then... what about Nanzhi?" Xiao Yinruo asked softly, "You told her Aunt was actually your Master, what if she slips when with Wanyu in the future?"

This was indeed a problem.

Lu Jin'an's expression showed a hint of resignation; largely, he didn't expect Master had already switched back with Aunt.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yinruo laughed lightly, then stroked his face, "Don't worry about Nanzhi, leave her to Aunt, she definitely won't spill it."

"How do you plan to handle it?"

"You just worry about yourself~" Xiao Yinruo slightly tilted her elegant swan-like neck, lifting her delicate white chin, and her plump, tender body moved close to Lu Jin'an, "Continue with your tasks... let Aunt take advantage of Wanyu's unknowable absence."

So Lu Jin'an said no more, immersing back into Aunt Ruo's tender embrace.

Although his head felt a bit muddled, he had no doubt, thinking it was merely due to the unfinished recovery after exerting himself with his Senior Sister, hence feeling a bit tired.

After all, now that the Qiming Immortal Dynasty had opened up, spiritual power wasn't affected, so the journey back from Shengjing to Qingmiao Palace didn't take long.

Above Qingmiao Palace, the Dragon Tribulation dispersed most of the snowfall, and as the time passed halfway between five and seven in the morning, Lu Jin'an dressed neatly and walked out of Yunqi Palace towards Tingquan Small House.

Ultimately, he was still a bit worried about Zhiyu's tribulation.

In the chamber within the palace, the originally sleeping Xiao Yinruo opened her eyes, with peach blossom eyes seemingly suppressing something, then an indescribable, boundless seductive expression emerged.

She turned sideways, curling up her delicate plump legs, gently trembling.

The prolonged sense due to the Time Path couldn't disappear, therefore, it erupted fully at this moment, beyond restraint.

The already weak her wore a deep sense of weariness on her charming face, and she appeared paler than usual.

Never has she felt such fatigue before... the difference between herself and Yinruo is too vast.

Closing her eyes, for a long time, feeling dry mouth and tongue, she immediately reached out her slightly weary, trembling hand to summon the teapot on the table, rising to replenish water with large gulps.

Until she drank the pot dry, did Xiao Yinruo feel somewhat better.

But a sense of fatigue from Yin Yang didn't dissipate.

This time, she didn't use the Dragon and Phoenix Attraction Technique for feedback, as Yin Qi was different, and the good disciple could tell.

Returning to bed, Xiao Yinruo sighed softly, murmuring, "Using the Time Path also won't work..."

Slowing time and concentrating it onto a moment made things more uncomfortable.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, why was she born with such a body?

Brooding for a while, Xiao Yinruo's mouth gradually turned into a smile, although uncomfortable, it was all worth it.

The good disciple didn't recognize her, and once back to Wandao Sect, it would be time to 'settle accounts' with those two!

Thinking about that scene then, Pei Wanyu's mood instantly brightened, especially since she could kill two birds with one stone.

The good disciple would listen more, and Yinruo would have to obediently call her "Sister," no longer daring to make any rash moves.

Light laughter filled with mischievous delight spread in the chamber within Yunqi Palace.

But soon, the laughter ceased, as the rather exhausted Xiao Yinruo drifted into a deep sleep, a satisfied smile lingering on her lips.
