Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 984 - 409: Shameless ’Bras’ (Part 3)

"Thank you."

"Between us, why be so formal?" Lu Jin'an pinched her cheek.

"But the problem is..." Dongfang Xinglan looked at him. "I can't use such a large Storage Ring for now; my Divine Sense isn't that broad."

"You use what you can for now; it's only a matter of time anyway." Lu Jin'an chuckled. "Let's set off then."

Dongfang Xinglan lowered her gaze slightly, nodding gently, as Lu Jin'an directly lifted her onto the horse's back, then tossed over her original Storage Ring to move things around.

"Zhiyu, we're leaving."

Lu Jin'an turned his head to call out to Zhiyu, who was squatting by the river catching fish.

"Oh~"

Zhiyu hastily ran over, raised her head, and asked sweetly, "Master, are you done?"

Dongfang Xinglan's eyelids twitched but could only comfort herself that Zhiyu wasn't an outsider.

"Finished." Lu Jin'an picked up the little girl and placed her in Dongfang Xinglan's arms, then mounted the horse himself and wrapped his arms around Dongfang Xinglan's waist.

Dongfang Xinglan glanced back at him. "Trying to use me as a horse again?"

"The horse's voice isn't as nice as yours."

Lu Jin'an said, giving her a light kiss on the neck, meeting her eyes with a playful smile. "I am never pretentious in this regard."

"I can tell." Dongfang Xinglan leaned back into his embrace, closed her eyes. "Let's go."

"Certainly, Your Highness King Qin."

Lu Jin'an tugged the reins, and Iron Hoof Cloud dashed forward like a white lightning bolt.

Sitting at the front, Zhiyu spread her arms wide with an "Oh" and then turned to ask, "Master, when will you teach Zhiyu?"

"You can first ask Sister Xinglan, see if she'll answer."

"But..." Zhiyu furrowed her little brows. "Zhiyu doesn't want to learn Sister Xinglan's pee..."

Before she finished speaking, Dongfang Xinglan suddenly opened her eyes and covered Zhiyu's small mouth, giving Lu Jin'an a frustrated glare. "Stop corrupting her, will you?"

Lu Jin'an looked at her innocently. "I didn't say anything."

"Isn't the root cause you?"

"Alright then." Lu Jin'an shrugged and then told Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, wasn't Sister Xinglan just now..."

Dongfang Xinglan turned and struck out with a palm, but Lu Jin'an dodged with a smile and grabbed her wrist, leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. "Okay, I won't say anymore."

"Zhiyu, after we go back, I'll teach you, keep practicing balance."

"Oh~" Zhiyu, full of confusion and curiosity, stood back onto the horse's neck and suddenly shouted loudly, "Zhiyu also wants to make Master happy!"

Dongfang Xinglan, who had returned to Lu Jin'an's embrace, closed her eyes and snickered. "Look at the fine apprentice you taught!"

"That's how we pass on at Taichu Hall." Lu Jin'an said slowly, then changed the topic. "Does Bai Yuhu really dare to defy the world by breaching the dam?"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Jin'an lowered his gaze. "Breaching the dam might not be a bad thing, perhaps it's time to erase the belief of non-existent gods from people's hearts, don't you think?"

"From what I know of you, you'd ensure the dam breach doesn't harm the people." Dongfang Xinglan placed her hands folded on her lower abdomen. "And if the people remain unharmed, they'll see it as divine protection, wouldn't they?

Beliefs rooted for thousands of years aren't easily washed away by disasters."

"I understand, but what I mean is..." Lu Jin'an leaned close to her ear. "Does the court breaching the dam suggest that the gods have abandoned those in the South?"

Dongfang Xinglan opened her eyes, contemplatively looking ahead, as Lu Jin'an continued slowly, "Old beliefs need new ones to support them, and you can become that new faith.

Now everyone thinks the White Fox is sent by Emperor Tedi to aid you, so it would be natural for you, already a Martial God, to inherit Tedi's position, wouldn't it?"

"I understand." Dongfang Xinglan nodded. "You, as the Saint Heir of a reputable sect, surely have a lot of mischief."

"That's precisely why we need to understand the methods of the Demon Path..." Lu Jin'an smiled slightly. "Too much history tells us that the result of a gentleman deceived is the gentleman's demise."

"Hmm..." Dongfang Xinglan nodded. "That's doable now, but what about after I take the throne and engage with the outside world?"

"The Dragon Soul Treasure in the Land of Prosperity." Lu Jin'an looked forward. "Obtaining it might give you a way."

"Don't you want it?" Dongfang Xinglan's eyes shimmered. "You must also be tempted, right?"

"Indeed, but..." Lu Jin'an's voice was calm. "You need it more than me, and the Thirty-Six Domains of the Three Great Dynasties need stability more.

Otherwise, once external cultivators flood in, what will happen to the Immortal Fate of your local billions?"

Lu Jin'an exhaled lightly, "At least I don't want that to happen."

Dongfang Xinglan looked at him with shining eyes. "This is what makes you like the Saint Heir of the World's No.1 Immortal Sect."

"Ha." Lu Jin'an shook his head. "I also have personal motives."

"But you have principles, right?"

"That I do, almost worth praising myself, haha."

"Shameless." Dongfang Xinglan spat, contemplatively mulling over Lu Jin'an's earlier plan, and lightly asked, "Tell me about the stories of your other four wives."

"Master Pei Wanyu, Senior Sister Mu Qingyue, Holy Daughter Zhu Nanzhi of Qingmiao Palace, and my adopted older sister, Lu Yunzhu."

"The child bride chosen by your parents?"

"Haha, you could say that." Lu Jin'an laughed. "Let's start with her, but don't be too surprised."

"How, is she a ghost?"

"Not exactly, it's just..." Lu Jin'an smiled faintly, looking relaxed. "She's a lunatic with a problem in her head..."

"Then let's hear it." Dongfang Xinglan was intrigued. "I'm listening."

"After I was born, the first words I said weren't 'Dad', 'Mom', but 'Sister'..."

In the night, Iron Hoof Cloud dashed out of the forest, following the desolate official road heading westward. Lu Jin'an held Dongfang Xinglan with one arm while the other clutched the reins, speaking unhurriedly.

In Lu Jin'an's embrace, Dongfang Xinglan listened, wide-eyed and amazed, glancing at Zhiyu standing on the horse's neck.

It turned out she had misunderstood before, Lu Jin'an's influence on Zhiyu... was clearly more affected by that Lu Yunzhu.

How could there be such an absurd older sister in the world?
