Inside Yunqi Palace.

After the Ling Queen left, Xiao Yinruo changed into a long dress that bared the shoulders and hugged the hips, her jet-black, silky hair tied into a high bun, with strands falling beside her cheeks, brushing softly against her fair, smooth collarbone.

She exuded the maturity and grace of a mistress, yet possessed an indescribable allure.

After Lu Jin'an familiarized himself with the entire "Soul Book," he opened his eyes to see such an Aunt Ruo.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Is that another new dress?"

"Mm-hmm~" Xiao Yinruo looked at him tenderly: "The one I wore at the auction last time, and this one… According to that little fox at Pian'an Yiyu Trading Company, these are styles mistresses often buy."

After saying this, she lightly lifted the hem of her dress, and gracefully spun around.

Within Lu Jin'an's line of sight, Xiao Yinruo's exquisite fair back, shoulders, and the almost exposed sides were displayed, exceptionally alluring.

Lu Jin'an's eyes lit up, is this a backless style?

"Aunt Ruo, did you buy it a size too small?" Lu Jin'an teased, "Feels like it might slip off from the side at any moment."

Xiao Yinruo blinked her eyes and elegantly stepped in front of Lu Jin'an, bending over.

An intoxicating allure bursting forth.

"Then, little rascal, measure it yourself… Did Aunt buy it too small?"

Lu Jin'an, of course, was unreserved, and almost the instant he laid his hands on her, Xiao Yinruo melted into his embrace.

Her waist was increasingly constricted by the long dress, outlining a full, round, yet graceful and slim curve, forming a stark contrast with the rich curve of her hips and legs.

She instinctively placed her hands on Lu Jin'an's shoulders, her fair legs trembling slightly, all because of Lu Jin'an's mischief.

Yet she still managed to divide her attention and softly asked, "Did the Cangming Soul River and the complete Soul Book help you?"

"They will, once I... make use of them."

Lu Jin'an replied in a deep voice, gradually guiding Xiao Yinruo to sit on his lap, his hands gently caressing her smooth calves.

Xiao Yinruo frowned slightly: "Really?"

"Really."

"That's good~"

No longer having the leisure to be distracted, Xiao Yinruo kissed Lu Jin'an's lips, a blush gradually tinging her alluring face: "Hmm~ Right here?"

"Mm." Lu Jin'an responded lowly, simply picking Xiao Yinruo up and walking to her working chair within this central hall.

Sensing the change in environment, Xiao Yinruo's body trembled lightly, an indescribable sense of shame spreading from her heart, causing her to breathe heavily.

"You little rascal, really know how to choose a place…"

"Can't go to Qingmiao Palace now, so let's try here first."

Lu Jin'an said with a chuckle: "Also, turn your back to me."

As he spoke, he had already turned Xiao Yinruo around, her hands instinctively supporting the table.

On the table lay piles of palace affairs and scholar's items, directly in front lay the main gate of Yunqi Palace. From this angle, scenes of Yi Beiyao and others reporting here instantly surfaced in her mind…

And now, she was to be harassed in this place.

Xiao Yinruo bit her lip gently, her elegantly long legs crossing and shifting slightly, her knees then touched the chair behind.

Lu Jin'an leaned down and whispered: "Aunt Ruo, you're clearly flustered, so why not step forward, instead of leaning back?"

As he spoke, his fingers brushed across her delicate back, feeling her body tremble lightly, his eyes glinting with a smile.

Xiao Yinruo breathed even more rapidly: "Don't tease Aunt…"

"Hm? Where did I tease?"

"You ask knowingly… little rascal, you…"

Before she could finish, the beauty suddenly raised her swan-like neck, her peach blossom eyes widened by a fraction, her long, slender white leg softened, and she collapsed onto the table.

Such a rascal, not letting her finish…

Plop—

The piled-up official duties on the table gradually spilled to the ground, fragrance filling the air.

······

Sun high overhead.

Xiao Yinruo gently nestled in Lu Jin'an's embrace, her barely visible figure gradually softening, from her back to her slender waist, beads of sweat flowed like pearls, her warm skin glowing like porcelain, incredibly enchanting.

Her snow-soft feet lightly touched the floor, her ten delicate toes curled slightly.

Her alluring face was flushed, her eyes downcast, long lashes barely fluttering, her lips slightly parted.

After a while, she turned slightly, looking at Lu Jin'an's profile and softly asked: "Are you leaving soon?"

"Mm."

Lu Jin'an relished the brief warmth: "Since Zhu Tianqi went to find the Azure Dragon Saint, some matters mustn't be delayed."

Xiao Yinruo kissed his cheek: "Bon voyage."

"Mm."

Lu Jin'an lightly brushed Xiao Yinruo's beautiful back: "As for the Spirit Clan…"

"Aunt will keep an eye on them."

Lu Jin'an's eyelids drooped slightly, it's time to stage the play with that seductive fox.

······

Wandao Sect, Yun Meng Cliff.

"Master, I heard that Saint Lu will return to the sect today."

Xiao Li crouched beside Qiu Qingtang, blinking her eyes: "Do you think he will come here?"

Qiu Qingtang's eyes sparkled with a strange light as she affirmed, "He will, call them all over."

Xiao Li quickly left, and the other fox demons living at Yun Meng Cliff, with the help of Master Pei's Time Path, had all suppressed this special period to a certain extent, so it was completely fine to move around now.

Qiu Qingtang gently stroked her heaving chest, her lips curling into a charming smile, confident that with all these preparations, he wouldn't be able to resist.

In her pink eyes, brilliance flowed.

Lu Jin'an wouldn't only come to Yun Meng Cliff, but he would also come here first... and not go to Taichu Hall.

The sun set behind the western hills.

After leaving the Order Enforcement Hall, Lu Jin'an watched as the night swallowed the last rays of sunset, and made his way to Yun Meng Cliff.

Upon reaching the cliff top, Lu Jin'an's eyes were drawn to the abundance of bright lights.

Under the lights, flowers and grass bloomed, making the scenery pleasing amidst the glow.

It was clear they had used spells to make the flowers and trees bloom early.

Lu Jin'an smiled and continued forward, soon arriving at the main hall of Yun Meng Cliff.

At the entrance, two fox demons dressed in light yellow sheer palace dresses bowed respectfully, revealing a fair expanse of skin on their chests: "Saint Lu, please~"

As the words fell, the hall doors were pushed open.

Just as Lu Jin'an stepped over the threshold, lights illuminated the hall, and on either side of the red carpet, eleven fox demons each knelt gracefully, clad in translucent palace dresses, holding trays filled with rare treasures.

"Congratulations to Saint Lu on his ascension to immortality."

Their voices harmonized, pleasant to the ear, the seductive fragrance wafted through.

Lu Jin'an glanced over the rare treasures on the trays, Qingqiu's custom, perhaps?

Not very interested.

But the twenty-four Tribulation Crossing Realm fox demons, each well-endowed, held trays largely set upon their soft bodies, and they deftly revealed the yin and yang.

Lu Jin'an chuckled softly and as he walked, he recited: "The spring nights are brief, the days late to rise, and henceforth the king shall neglect the dawn court... I've just become immortal and confirmed my succession as Sect Master, and you've prepared such a grand gift for me, is this appropriate?"

Qiu Qingtang emerged gracefully from behind the screen, dressed in a pink palace gown, having made a point of dressing up, she fully exhibited the charms of a fox spirit while in her special phase, enchanting and alluring.

As she walked, she took a tray from Xiao Li's hands, looking at Lu Jin'an with a smiling gaze: "What's wrong with this? Young Master Lu has been at the front line for so many days, relaxing and enjoying shouldn't be an issue?"

As she finished speaking, she raised the wine pot from the tray with her right hand and poured a cup: "Young Master Lu, please~"

Lu Jin'an, gazing into her moist pink eyes, reached out to take it and drank it down.

And just as he set down the cup, the hall doors slowly closed.

Lu Jin'an walked past Qiu Qingtang, directly sitting behind the already prepared table, reclining lazily against a cushion, asking casually: "Did you know I would come here?"

"Of course." Qiu Qingtang handed the tray back to Xiao Li and sat beside Lu Jin'an, elegantly crossing her legs. While continuing to pour him wine, she said: "People are dying on the front line each day. With Young Master Lu's ascension to immortality, naturally, he'd want to relax a bit...

And here at my place, it's best for Young Master Lu to unwind, after all, Taichu Hall doesn't have Yun Meng Cliff's gentle dances."

After she finished speaking, she presented the glass cup she held to Lu Jin'an: "At my place, you can enjoy both refined music and folk tunes, Young Master Lu, after your arduous journey, what would you like to hear?"

"Now that you mention it, I am quite tired." Lu Jin'an, looking at her lightly swaying pink fox tail at the back, said: "But just listening is not very interesting, perhaps we could play something fun."

Qiu Qingtang blinked her luminous eyes: "What would Young Master Lu like to play? A drinking game, or..."

She leaned close to Lu Jin'an's ear, whispering: "Passing the flower?"

Lu Jin'an glanced at her sparkling eyes and chuckled: "How do we play it?"

Qiu Qingtang's eyes flickered with mirth: "That depends on whether Young Master Lu wants to play it mild or wild."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Lu Jin'an's thigh, her fingers gently stroking.

Lu Jin'an's gaze swept over the gathered fox spirits: "If we play wild, that might be over the top."

Qiu Qingtang laughed: "Then let's start with something elegant."

"Yun Duo."

"Coming."

One of the fox demons who previously greeted at the door stepped forward quickly, and Qiu Qingtang introduced her with a smile: "When it comes to composing poetry, Yun Duo is unparalleled... if you can't match it, you'll have to drink as punishment. Such a simple game, Young Master Lu, care to try?"

"Can she match anything?" Lu Jin'an curiously looked at the bashful fox-eared girl: "Can you match the first half of the couplet?"

Yun Duo's delicate face blushed a soft pink as she blinked her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of shyness: "I can try, my lord."

"Alright then." Lu Jin'an thought for a moment, his voice layered with a playful tone: "Dare not to speak loudly, lest the brow furrows, match the earlier half of this line."

As the words left his lips, each fox spirit present had an expression that turned a bit odd.

It seemed that Young Master Lu's line... did not appear very serious.

Qi Qingtang's eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement; she had thought Lu Jin'an was maintaining a facade of propriety.

Fortunately, he was not.

Since he came to Yun Meng Cliff, this was the way to play~

"Yun Duo, quickly answer~" Qi Qingtang's voice turned lively: "The rest of you, feel free to try as well...

Accompany Young Master Lu to have fun~"
