Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 122 - 97: Who Took Away My Husband?
Chapter 122: Chapter 97: Who Took Away My Husband?
The two ten-thousand-year birthday of Zheng Dongliu, the Sect Master of Wandao Sect, lasted only for an hour, and then seamlessly transitioned into the investiture ceremony of the Saint Heir.
This procedure was obviously well-prepared in advance, so Lu Jin’an only needed to follow Junior Master Ji’s instructions.
Not far away under the shade of a tree, Pei Wanyu was holding half a pomelo, looking gently at her busy good disciple.
Glancing at Xiao Yinruo who came to stand beside her, she chuckled lightly: "It’s a pity that not many from the Demon Clan came, and those who did ran away quickly."
"If there were more than three Demon Saints and several Demon Emperors, Sect Master Zheng would have dared to keep them all at Wandao Sect."
Xiao Yinruo crossed her arms and subconsciously looked at the chest behind the pomelo her friend was holding.
It’s a shame that this deep purple dress of her friend covered her seductive charms completely, leaving not a trace of allure visible.
But Xiao Yinruo immediately recalled the scene this morning where her friend, turning sideways, embraced Lu Jin’an into her bosom.
’Watermelon.’
Influenced by Nanzhi just now, the name of this fruit suddenly popped into Xiao Yinruo’s mind.
Wanyu is watermelon, and hers is... small watermelon?
"Phew..."
The calm Xiao Yinruo rubbed her forehead; she hadn’t paid attention to her figure since stepping onto the Immortal Path, and the sights of the past two days were too stimulating...
Moreover, her Forget Love Taoist Skill was at Great Success, how could she still be affected by such matters?
"The Demon Clan looks like they have strong limbs and simple minds, but that doesn’t mean they’re truly foolish." Xiao Yinruo could only change the subject: "There’s no way they’d actually send several Demon Saints and a few Demon Emperors to die."
"I know." Pei Wanyu picked up a slice of pomelo and put it in her mouth: "It would’ve been better if they challenged my disciple later, then they could see my disciple’s investiture ceremony as Saint Heir."
"Now it has to be announced to the world before they’ll know, sigh~"
Xiao Yinruo glanced at her friend: "I don’t believe you don’t know what being the Wandao Sect Saint Heir means."
"I know." Looking at the Seal representing the Saint Heir’s identity being received from the Sect Master, Pei Wanyu smiled slightly: "Jin’an won’t disappoint me."
She wanted her good disciple to stand behind her sooner.
Xiao Yinruo looked ahead: "So Nanzhi will eventually find out about your relationship with her ’husband.’"
"Isn’t that even better?" Pei Wanyu smiled enigmatically: "Just right, I’ll be the main, and they can be the secondary."
Xiao Yinruo turned her head to stare at her: "Yesterday you said you let Qingyue be the main."
"Did I?" Pei Wanyu, holding the pomelo in one hand, gently stroked her cheek with the other, feigning contemplation: "Did I say that?"
"Huh." Xiao Yinruo looked at Nanzhi, who happily crowded next to Lu Jin’an after the simple ceremony, and suddenly a thought popped into her mind.
Could her own good disciple cope with this mother-daughter duo?
Even with Lu Jin’an’s affection, could Lu Jin’an, like the Emperor of the Mortal World Dynasty, always keep track of the inner court’s dynamics?
"Don’t think too much." Pei Wanyu laughed and patted her friend’s shoulder: "I have discretion."
Discretion?
Xiao Yinruo sneered at her friend’s words, bare and lying on the same bed with her apprentice, is there still discretion?
"Let me ask you." Xiao Yinruo’s tone took on a serious note: "Logically speaking, with your age and experience... how could you easily fall for someone? Especially a kid who’s only twenty?"
"It’s a pity you’re on the Forget Love Path?" Pei Wanyu rolled her eyes: "Don’t you understand the logic of emotions arising unknowingly and persisting deeply?
Just like when you, for the sake of opening up the entire Northern Boundary, entered the Mortal World to protect the countless lives of the Qingmiao Domain, why choose the hardest path of all those?
Pei Wanyu picked up another slice of pomelo and offered it to her: "The reasoning is the same for both."
Xiao Yinruo reached out to take the red pomelo, looking at her friend’s face, speaking softly: "I understand the meaning, but I mean the cause.
Just like my Dao derived from the Qingmiao Domain, what was your reason for choosing him?"
"Initially it was for Qingyue." Pei Wanyu said plainly: "For so long... he walked into my heart."
Xiao Yinruo shook her head helplessly, it was as if she hadn’t said anything.
"By the way, how’s your Dao coming along?" Pei Wanyu changed the subject: "You’ve been in Divine Presence for years and still haven’t found a way to break through?"
"The Qingmiao Domain is peaceful, and the Northern Spiritual Clan can’t touch it..." Xiao Yinruo knitted her eyebrows: "Logically speaking, everything should be fine, but I still can’t break through that barrier."
"There are countless lives in the Qingmiao Domain, and you’ve done what you should..." Pei Wanyu teased: "Could it be because you’ve never fallen for someone? After all, there are countless lives thriving and reproducing, right?"
Xiao Yinruo rolled her eyes at her: "Ridiculous!"
"I’m just saying, haha~"
"Haha." Xiao Yinruo snorted softly: "Sometimes I envy your kind, born with an innate bloodline, kings by nature, where even a nap can elevate your realm, unlike the Human Clan, where no matter how powerful the parents, one has to start cultivation from scratch at birth.
And you have to find your own Dao in the process, or you won’t go far."
Pei Wanyu smiled slightly: "But that’s also the main reason for the rise of the Human Clan.
From nothing to something, from something to fast, from fast to excellent, from excellent to the peak."
She pointed to the cultivators present: "In the past, when did the Human Clan have such a fast cultivation speed?"
"Without establishing Dao and reaching Tongsheng, you can’t go far at all." Xiao Yinruo shook her head.
"Honestly, try to find someone to love." Pei Wanyu tilted her head to look at her: "In a domain with countless lives, kinship, friendship, love... only love you haven’t experienced, maybe that’s the final step you need."
"Haha." Xiao Yinruo still expressed indifference, but also joked along: "Who should I find? I know the Divine Concealment and Divine Presence in the Human Clan, aren’t they talented enough? But not one catches my eye."
After a pause, she suddenly said mischievously: "How about giving Lu Jin’an to me, I’ll take him back to Qingmiao Palace, and it’ll also satisfy Nanzhi’s wish."
