Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 1018 - 425: The Cunning Zhiyu (2)

Lu Yunzhu’s gaze held a trace of resentment: "I don’t know who’s overpowering whom..."

Lu Jin’an was about to speak, but the approaching Lu Yunzhu blocked all his words back into his throat.

Watching the cautious and somewhat clumsy Lu Yunzhu, Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but curl the corner of his mouth into a smile.

He shouldn’t have been afraid of her back then...

"Sis, do you need to tie up your hair?"

Lu Yunzhu glanced upward at him and then stepped back. Leaning against the headboard, she lifted her left leg and slid off the black stocking. To Lu Jin’an’s surprise, she used the stocking as a hairband to tie her waist-length hair into a ponytail.

Looking at the instantly much more spirited Lu Yunzhu, Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but find her particularly alluring at this moment.

"Satisfied?"

Lu Jin’an sincerely praised, "Totally satisfied."

"Then lie down..." Lu Yunzhu lightly licked her red lips: "My waist is sore..."

"Alrighty!"

······

Lu Jin’an, looking refreshed, tightly fastened the belt of his new clothes, turned around, and looked at Lu Yunzhu, who lay sideways on the bed, her legs drawn together, with a flicker of amusement in his eyes.

In the end, Lu Yunzhu still wanted to assert the authority of an older sister—telling him to "wipe it yourself" was her final remark.

Like a proud tsundere.

As the previous scenes flitted through his mind, Lu Jin’an quickly walked over and patted her bottom: "Sis, I’m off then."

"Get lost!" Lu Yunzhu ’impatiently’ waved her hand, her voice hoarse and unable to hide: "Just don’t come back once you’re out!"

Lu Jin’an chuckled, then solemnly said, "I’ll definitely come home for Chinese New Year this year."

Lu Yunzhu turned her head to glance at him: "Really?"

"Really." Lu Jin’an replied leisurely: "Along with her..."

Before he could finish saying "them," Lu Yunzhu grabbed a pillow and flung it directly at him: "If you dare to come back, don’t think about leaving!"

Lu Jin’an raised his hand to catch it, smiled teasingly, and asked: "Leave where?"

Getting his meaning instantly, Lu Yunzhu grabbed another pillow and threw it over: "I’m not joking with you!"

"Yes, yes." Putting the two pillows back on the bed, Lu Jin’an leaned down and kissed her forehead: "We’ll talk about it later, now I really need to go."

"Oh, by the way." Suddenly, Lu Jin’an grabbed the capturing stone that had fallen from the roof: "I’ll be keeping this capturing stone."

"Put it down!" Lu Yunzhu’s voice raised several octaves as she grabbed another pillow: "That’s mine!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t show it to Master or them." Dashing to the door, Lu Jin’an peeked back at her: "Bye-bye."

Bang!

Lu Yunzhu tossed another pillow over, watching Lu Jin’an run out of the room, her chest slightly heaving.

This brat is getting bolder!

She lay back on the bed, staring dazedly at the missing capturing stone, then gently caressed her belly, sighing softly after a while, and closed her eyes.

"Lost face completely..."

······

Leaving the cabin, Lu Jin’an glanced at the now deserted banks of the Cang River and proceeded straight to the depths of the Dragon Soul Treasure.

"Master!"

As soon as his feet stepped through the open golden door, the little girl in his sight darted over and hugged his leg tightly, the dark dragon tail beneath her skirt swaying joyfully.

Lu Jin’an instinctively raised his hand to pat Zhiyu’s small head: "Why so excited?"

"Zhiyu missed Master~" Zhiyu rubbed against his leg and suddenly looked up at him: "Master smells like milk."

Lu Jin’an chuckled: "You’ll smell like it too in the future."

Zhiyu blinked her sparkling eyes, wondering if Master wanted her to have a baby?

Master is so naughty~

Zhiyu wiggled her tail a few times, only then did Lu Jin’an belatedly realize it, did Zhiyu’s strength improve?

Or did she also gain some fortuitous encounter?

He was just about to inquire when Zhiyu suddenly tugged at his wrist and whispered, "Master, Zhiyu has a big treasure to show you."

A big treasure?

Lu Jin’an involuntarily glanced at Zhiyu’s youthful chest and hastily dispelled the improper thoughts, Zhiyu’s treasure surely isn’t the same as his sister’s treasure.

Thus, he squatted down and asked curiously: "What big treasure?"

Zhiyu opened her storage space, looking smug: "Zhiyu has looted it all~"

Seeing the dazzling Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, gold and silver jewelry in her storage space, Lu Jin’an’s eyes widened slightly.

But it wasn’t the treasures that surprised him—it was Zhiyu’s mastery of space magic that shocked him.

In the Eastern Dynasty, Zhiyu not only skillfully used the storage space but could even expand it so much?

Lu Jin’an looked at Zhiyu half astonished, half pleased: "Our Zhiyu has grown up, how did you..."

"Really?" Zhiyu’s eyes curved into a smile, and before Lu Jin’an could inquire, she eagerly asked: "Then what reward will Master give Zhiyu?"

Lu Jin’an could only swallow his unsaid words and patiently asked with a smile: "What reward would you like? A big meal, or..."

Zhiyu leaned close to Lu Jin’an’s ear, her mismatched eyes flashing with mischief: "Master once said you would teach Zhiyu about you and Sister Xing Lan... but you haven’t fulfilled it yet~"

Lu Jin’an’s expression froze, instinctively turning his head to look, as Zhiyu stared with innocent, curious mismatched eyes, her slightly chubby cheeks full of curiosity.

"Master?" Zhiyu tilted her head to look at Lu Jin’an, her small mouth pouting: "Master wouldn’t be a liar, right?"

With that, she put on a cute, tearful expression.

Lu Jin’an quickly hugged her and comforted her, though still a bit doubtful inwardly, has this little girl become cleverer?

An illusion?

He glanced back at Dongfang Xinglan, who was crossing tribulation, and thought to ask her later.

"I will, of course I’ll teach you." Lu Jin’an gently patted Zhiyu’s back: "I’ll teach you after we leave."

Zhiyu subconsciously wanted to ask more, but then her eyes twinkled, her face breaking into a happy grin: "Great!"

Seeing her silly smile, Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but laugh, perhaps he was just overthinking?

Lu Jin’an pinched Zhiyu’s cheek and, after pondering, asked tentatively: "What is Dragon Soul?"

Zhiyu earnestly recalled and then explained the situation with her usual jumbled sequence.

"Then, then Zhiyu fell asleep, and then Zhiyu could offer lots of shiny things to Master~"

Seeing Zhiyu’s earnest yet confused expression, Lu Jin’an thought for a moment before deciding not to ponder further. The Eastern Dynasty ordeal was nearly concluded, and he should really work on his breakthrough.

The power in the Cultivation World, after all, comes from strength.

"Zhiyu, stay here and protect Sister Xing Lan, alright?"

"Where’s Master going?"

"Breakthrough." Lu Jin’an stroked Zhiyu’s head: "I’ll be back soon, and I’ll bring you a big cake, okay?"

"Sure~" Zhiyu clapped her hands, seemingly forgetting any surplus concerns.

Lu Jin’an smiled, gave a few more instructions, and then left.

One Zhiyu might not be enough to protect Dongfang Xinglan in the Eastern Dynasty, but outside, there’s Lu Yunzhu as well.

He trusts that no matter how displeased Lu Yunzhu might be, she’d surely keep Dongfang Xinglan, who carries the Destiny of Half the Human Clan, safe.

After all, rounding it up a bit, Dongfang Xinglan is truly family. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Exiting the Underground Palace, Lu Jin’an glanced at the cabin nearby, then quickly headed towards Yanbei Pass.

For now, the North near Qingmiao Domain was the best place for a breakthrough.

Moreover, he really wanted to see if Master disguised as Aunt Ruo could portray the cold, ethereal grace of the Qingmiao Palace Master.

In the cabin, soaking in the hot spring pool, Lu Yunzhu hummed the lullaby she once coaxed Lu Jin’an to sleep with, her single hand gesturing in the air, with Daoist Skill forming naturally.

"Great Dao Fifty, Heavenly Calculation of 49, One Escape..."
