"Hmm~"

Little Fish nodded vigorously again, and after holding Lu Jin'an's hand, she stopped running around, but still bounced and skipped forward, trying to keep up with her master's pace.

"Master, why do you always stay there?" Little Fish asked curiously with her head raised. "Is it fun?"

"Yes." Lu Jin'an didn't deny that Yun Meng Cliff is fun.

Little Fish tilted her head to look at him: "Master didn't secretly eat something delicious, did you?"

"How could that be?" Lu Jin'an pinched her small hand. "Most of it you've eaten before."

Upon hearing this, Little Fish's uniquely colored eyes immediately lit up: "So, there are still things I haven't eaten, right?"

Lu Jin'an glanced down at her: "You want to spend time at Yun Meng Cliff?"

Little Fish blinked her eyes and then said shyly: "Will, will Master stay here?"

"Not for now..."

"Then I want to go too." Little Fish raised her head again, her little face looking very serious: "Can I cultivate at Yun Meng Cliff?"

"Sure." Lu Jin'an affectionately patted her small head, and Little Fish immediately ran ahead, cheering excitedly.

Lu Jin'an followed at a leisurely pace, and beside him, Lu Yunzhu's voice suddenly rang out: "Not as cute as when you were little."

Lu Jin'an didn't speak, while Little Fish eagerly ran back again: "Hello, Master's older sister~"

Lu Yunzhu slightly nodded and gently patted Little Fish on the head.

Although Little Fish was used by her to make Lu Jin'an understand 'sister's hardship,' this overly effective tool now seems like someone worth pulling in.

Silly, definitely easier to coax than little Jin'an back then.

"Hmm?" With this touch, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yunzhu's eyes: "The dragon storage within her has been patched up?"

Lu Jin'an nodded: "It happened at the Dynasty."

"Quite unexpected." Lu Yunzhu glanced at Lu Jin'an: "I thought Zhu Tianqi would secretly keep a piece of the Candle Dragon eggshell fragment."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an's interest was piqued: "What do you mean? It's unrelated to Little Fish?"

"Before the Candle Dragon disappeared, it only laid one pureblood dragon egg, but this dragon egg was divided up by several dragons when the Candle Dragon vanished."

Lu Yunzhu withdrew her hand and continued walking, "Later, because the eggshell fragments contained the Candle Dragon's bloodline talents, they became treasured during the Dragon Clan's inheritance process. Dragon Saints possessing Candle Dragon eggshell fragments are outstanding among the Dragon Clan.

Later, they thoroughly studied the eggshell fragments, so to gain more powerful abilities, they collected Candle Dragon eggshell and ancestral bloodline, attempting to cultivate a True Dragon with more ancestral bloodline... Thus, Little Fish."

At this point, Lu Jin'an glanced down at the curious silly girl watching the surroundings: "Zhu Tianqi wanted to devour her?"

"What if the Candle Dragon is still alive?" Lu Yunzhu said indifferently, "If the Candle Dragon discovered that its inherited kin were treated this way, wouldn't it be infuriated? So Zhu Tianqi wants to have power not much less than the Candle Dragon, at least to protect himself."

"I see." Lu Jin'an nodded: "Then her Taotie bloodline..."

"Little Fish's mother was chosen by Zhu Tianqi as the vessel." Lu Yunzhu folded her arms behind her back, "Then, she took a liking to a Taotie, had a relationship, so the dragon egg was tainted with a hint of Taotie's bloodline."

"However..." Lu Yunzhu continued, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Cang Qinglong Saint concealed Little Fish's existence, and you say how a Cang Qinglong Saint managed to hide it from Zhu Tianqi?"

She turned to look at Lu Jin'an: "Zhu Tianqi's power may not be as strong as Zheng Dongliu, but aside from that, his power among the Dragon Clan past and present is indeed genuinely the strongest.

You say, why did he only now learn of Little Fish's existence?"

Her gaze carried inquiry and a touch of aggressiveness, but Lu Jin'an seemed unaffected, calmly saying: "You suspect it involves Huang Ningshang?"

"What do you think?"

Lu Jin'an didn't answer, instead asked another question: "Do you know what I like about Nanzhi?"

Lu Yunzhu said indifferently: "I've told you, your interest in women was cultivated by me long ago. You see shadows of me in them, don't you?"

Lu Jin'an laughed, indeed, Lu Yunzhu was unaware of the incident where he nearly turned into a Sword Spirit by Nanzhi.

In this regard, Huang Ningshang is probably the person who knows most about this matter aside from himself.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Lu Jin'an shook his head: "Indeed, controlling girls are quite tempting, because in her eyes there's only her beloved."

'Provided there's no aggressive yandere personality.'

Lu Jin'an silently added in his heart, then shifted the topic: "I'm planning to go to Yun Meng Cliff, how about you?"

"You haven't had enough?"

"The singing and dancing are also beautiful."

"Heh..." Lu Yunzhu snorted coldly: "You surely know how to enjoy."

"Not bad." Lu Jin'an pinched her hand: "What about you, going home or?"

"Not going back!" Lu Yunzhu said expressionlessly: "Come here just to sleep with you and leave, does that sound reasonable?"

"Hmm... indeed, it's not reasonable." Lu Jin'an nodded earnestly, Lu Yunzhu is not a visiting service.

"Then stay at Fuyao Inn." Lu Jin'an quickened his pace: "As for me, I'll go frolic at Yun Meng Cliff first then."

Having said that, he took Zhiyu's little hand and turned a corner, but Lu Yunzhu directly followed.

"What are you doing?"

"Going to Taiyi Peak."

"Alright then."

Lu Jin'an said no more, but as he was leading Zhiyu down the mountain steps, he ran into the Dean of the Order Enforcement Hall, Xue Shaohai.

"Greetings, Saint Heir, the Sect Master requests your presence at the Order Enforcement Hall."

"Hmm, I'm too busy." Lu Jin'an smiled faintly: "You can handle the Sect Master's ceremony. I'll be there directly when the time comes."

Xue Shaohai opened his mouth, just about to continue speaking, when Lu Yunzhu stepped forward: "I'll go in his place."

Xue Shaohai glanced at Lu Yunzhu, frowning slightly, but Lu Yunzhu's words directly made him turn around: "Lead the way."

Seeing this scene, Lu Jin'an pondered thoughtfully. Lu Yunzhu's Great Dao indeed resembled his own current Great Dao.

"Master, Master, are you going to become the Sect Master?" Zhiyu asked curiously.

"Yes." Lu Jin'an resumed walking: "In the future, you can walk sideways in the Wandao Sect."

"Hmm?" Zhiyu furrowed her little brows: "But, Zhiyu is not a crab."

"Haha." Lu Jin'an chuckled: "Even so, you can still walk sideways."

"Really?"

Zhiyu started demonstrating walking sideways down the steps with a face full of innocence: "Why can I walk sideways now?"

"Because Zhiyu is cute."

"Hehe~"

Zhiyu hugged Lu Jin'an's waist: "Then what else can Zhiyu do?"

"Everyone will give you delicious food."

"That's great, but Zhiyu still wants to eat Master's cooking."

"You're quite the sweet-talker, aren't you?"

"Zhiyu means it sincerely!" Zhiyu huffed: "Zhiyu only eats Master's food."

"Alright, I'll make something delicious for you later."

"Master is the best~"

Zhiyu bounced joyfully, but soon she ran back to Lu Jin'an and leapt into his arms.

Lu Jin'an picked her up and saw that Zhiyu had a hesitant expression on her face. He couldn't help but ask: "Will Master always be with Zhiyu?"

"Of course."

"A-and..." Zhiyu hesitated and said: "Zhiyu doesn't want to return to the Dragon Clan."

Hmm?

Lu Jin'an looked at Zhiyu with slight surprise. This little silly one had been staying at Taichu Peak all this time, yet she could sense the outside situation?

Looking at Zhiyu's slightly worried expression, Lu Jin'an softly said: "If you don't want to go back, you don't have to. But even if you must go back..."

"Will Master be with Zhiyu?"

"I will."

"What if Master can't be with me?"

"Then I'll definitely come and find you." Lu Jin'an pinched her little cheek: "I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Hehe... Master is the best~"

Zhiyu grabbed his cheeks and gave him several quick kisses, then slipped out of his arms like a little eel and ran ahead: "Zhiyu is off to cultivate~"

Lu Jin'an watched the small figure of Little Zhiyu, his smile fading as they reached Yun Meng Cliff.

"Young Master Lu?" Qiu Qingtang looked at his changing expression: "What is it..."

"Come here." Lu Jin'an took her wrist and started walking: "Call a few people to accompany me on a trip to the Demon World."

"Huh?"

"I plan to conduct an experiment about the Space Crossing Gate."

"Isn't that a bit dangerous?"

"It's worth it."

"Alright then..."
