"That girl Nanzhi will definitely be influenced, and she's looking at Jin'an with a face full of admiration..."

Pei Wanyu shook her head with a laugh. In this regard, Qingyue and Nanzhi do indeed have similarities.

After glancing towards Cuiqing Inn, Pei Wanyu lightly moved her lotus steps, leaving the rest for Qingyue to handle herself.

Just not sure how she will manage it.

'When all cultivation is sealed, a cultivator will be like an ordinary person...'

The image of Mu Qingyue flickered through her mind, and Pei Wanyu couldn't help but shrug her shoulders.

Indeed, an ordinary person can't learn, won't learn, let alone emulate Mu Qingyue.

······

In the hot spring inside Qingyi Palace, Lu Jin'an leaned against the pool edge, enjoying the comfortable temperature, though his heart's beating hadn't slowed.

Last night's education of Senior Sister, while not as long as the first time, was even more "spectacular."

He didn't expect the little gadgets inside Senior Sister's Universe Bracelet to be upgraded, so he tried many, leaving him somewhat excited even now.

Quite a bit of lingering reluctance.

"Is it pretend... or rather, the mental desire for control, the physical counter-desire for control?"

With closed eyes, Lu Jin'an murmured quietly. He wasn't troubled by this; he just felt Senior Sister's body seemed to enjoy it.

Especially since the indifferent Aunt Ruo was there for comparison, so Senior Sister's half-human, half-demon physique left a deep impression on him.

After all, instinctive reactions can't be faked or controlled.

Especially with Senior Sister's cultivation sealed, she was even less likely to fake.

"Forget it, I won't think about it."

Lu Jin'an got up and walked out of the hot spring pool. If Senior Sister dares to threaten in the future, then this education is fine.

At least... well, it's beneficial for both.

The front square of Taichu Hall.

After bathing, Lu Jin'an came here to closely observe Lu Yunzhu's Dao Domain of "everything is impermanent, unrivaled throughout history."

Within the Dao Domain, time sped by, while a Little Candle Dragon hovered in mid-air in front of Lu Yunzhu, enveloped by the glow emitted by Lu Yunzhu's cold mask.

Under the radiance, the Little Candle Dragon seemed trapped in mid-air, although it hadn't crossed or accelerated the tribulation, its little expression appeared distressed.

"What's being done here?"

Lu Jin'an asked aloud.

Lu Yunzhu opened her eyes: "Let her observe the Candle Dragon that once was peerless."

"Impressive," Lu Jin'an sincerely praised, showing admiration.

He was still unable to trace such historical lengths through the Time Path.

Lu Yunzhu looked at him twice more, calmly saying, "You will do better than me in the future."

"Hmm... that's true," Lu Jin'an nodded even more in agreement.

Lu Yunzhu hesitated momentarily, looking at his somewhat smug expression, wanting to laugh but not doing so.

This kid dared to say that before?

"Hmm."

Ultimately, Lu Yunzhu softly "hummed" and turned back towards Zhiyu.

Breaking through can't be rushed; even if the Demon Clan excels in bloodline talent, it requires a process of accumulating foundation.

Hence, she just wanted Zhiyu to see the world's first, and only, Candle Dragon's once unparalleled power.

At least inspire some positivity in this silly kid's heart and perhaps become smarter if possible...

To give Zhiyu a mindset to handle what's about to happen.

"I'm leaving now," Lu Jin'an said, "Xing Lan is arriving today, I'll go pick them up."

Lu Yunzhu nodded, and Lu Jin'an turned to leave.

Originally intending to descend the mountain directly, he suddenly thought of something and quietly returned to Cuiqing Inn.

With Senior Sister's current Dao practice, even with high Sword Dao cultivation, she couldn't possibly detect him.

Stopped by the window, he unfolded his Dao Domain, affecting the surrounding environment, then lifted his hand to open a crack in the window pane.

Looking inside along this crack, the sight of fair skin met his gaze. He had to admit that looking at the cold-bodied Senior Sister like this, she appeared fairer than Nanzhi and Aunt Ruo.

Then... the mole on her chest intermittently appeared in the line of sight.

?

Why is she spinning circles?

Even with all cultivation sealed, her physique absolutely hasn't completely turned ordinary. Undoing the constraints shouldn't be difficult for her...

Is it because his physical strength has not recovered?

Or perhaps...

Lu Jin'an quietly closed the window, turned, and left, keeping what he saw hidden deep in his heart.

Some things are more fun when kept as secrets.

I'm such a pervert!

Lu Jin'an left the vicinity of Cuiqing Inn and went to find Qiu Qingtang first.

After a night's rest, Qiu Qingtang was visibly in better shape than before. However, she still lay on the bed, her fluffy pink tail curved upward, seemingly hesitant to rest against her back. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Master, Saint Heir is here," Xiao Li said hastily, but didn't dare to look at Lu Jin'an.

She was the only one who hadn't been "eaten" that night... With Zhiyu around, Lu Jin'an was only interested in the 'older' sister.

Qiu Qingtang turned her head to look at Lu Jin'an: "Young Master Lu has truly troubled this humble one. After your help, I feel like I've become a fiery fox under your influence~"

Upon hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Lu Jin'an's eyes: "If you don't hint at something for a day, do you start feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm already feeling quite uncomfortable now~" Qiu Qingtang blinked her eyes, her tone half complaining, half amused: "And the excessive actions by Young Master Lu..."

"I simply carried out what you asked of me as a man."

"Yes, the posture is exactly how it was written..." Qiu Qingtang smiled with curved eyes: "Young Master Lu truly is my confidant~"

Lu Jin'an chuckled noncommittally: "Get up and come with me."

Qiu Qingtang pushed herself up on the bed with her hands and sat up: "What for?"

"Prepare a luxurious way of traveling for me."

"Where to?"

"I'll go to Mo Yun Pavilion first, then you can pick me up to go to Wangjiang Peak to greet the Qiming Immortal Dynasty."

"Does the Qiming Immortal Dynasty really require Young Master Lu's personal greeting?" Qiu Qingtang looked at Lu Jin'an thoughtfully: "You wouldn't happen to be involved with that Empress whose reign name is Qian Yuan..."

"As long as you know." Lu Jin'an nodded, turning to walk out while saying: "Not to boast, but she is the only one who can compete with me in bed..."

As he spoke, Lu Jin'an paused, the image of Mu Qingyue flashing through his mind, but he quickly continued: "Someone who could match her, Xing Lan would certainly make a good friend for you."

With that, he left the room and headed down the mountain.

Dongfang Xinglan's strength differs from Senior Sister's, and cannot be directly compared...

Lu Jin'an pondered quietly, then silently arrived at Mo Yun Pavilion.

During this period, Pavilion Master Ye You was stationed at Wandao Sect.

He needed to personally oversee the territory of the Central Domain that they had conquered, to weed out any hidden adversaries left by the retreating demon army.

"This subordinate greets the Saint Heir." Ye You stood up and bowed, then handed over a sealed letter.

Lu Jin'an reached out to take it, naturally understanding it was a secret letter from Qi Huizu.

After reading it, Lu Jin'an instructed: "Send someone to secretly block off Lin Yuan Domain.

If there aren't enough people, I'll ask Palace Master Xiao to lend some hands."

The secret letter in his hand turned to ash, and Lu Jin'an said to Ye You: "Before the Sect Master's grand ceremony, I will resolve this matter."

"Understood, my Lord," Ye You responded while silently observing the Saint Heir, whose reputation had been declining recently, thinking the outside rumors might indeed be biased.

If the Saint Heir were truly indulgent in the decadent pleasures of the Fox Demons, how could he spare attention for serious matters at Mo Yun Pavilion?

Clearly, the Saint Heir knew how to distinguish priorities; perhaps those rumors were spread by him intentionally...

Ye You pondered silently, and the next second, a fox's cry sounded from outside.

Startled, he followed Lu Jin'an outside, only to see three giant pink foxes pulling an enormous carriage...

To call it a carriage might be an understatement; it was more like a palace...

"Young Master Lu, this humble one has come to pick you up~"

Atop the carriage, Qiu Qingtang waved to Lu Jin'an. At the same time, the rich aroma of fruits and wine wafted from inside, intoxicating the senses.

Ye You whipped his head towards Lu Jin'an, only to see the Saint Heir displaying a satisfied expression as he flew onto the carriage, surrounded by Fox Demons...

In the past, the Saint Heir never concerned himself with such flamboyant travel...

Ye You's mouth twitched, hurriedly comforting himself; at least the Saint Heir still knew to handle some serious business, not entirely lost to seduction.

But...

Watching the receding carriage, Ye You took a deep breath; but still...

It really was somewhat envious.
