Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 242 - 140 "How can she like me if she doesn’t even understand me?"_2
Chapter 242: Chapter 140 "How can she like me if she doesn’t even understand me?"_2
"I don’t know." Niu Shangli shook his head. "Probably the same reason there are internal traitors among the Human Clan... This kind of thing is too far from us. You eat well, fill up, and prepare for action."
"Oh." Niu Zhongli nodded. "You think, the Royal Court sent so many demons, why make us act separately?"
"You just eat." Niu Shangli patted his head. "I’ll think about this matter."
"Oh."
Niu Shangli withdrew his big hand and looked again at the moon outside; it was already the hour of the pig.
’The target is too big if we act together, separating gives a chance for success.’
Niu Shangli’s eyes lowered slightly; as long as they succeeded, Niu Xiali would qualify to enter the Royal Court’s Blood Refining Pond to enhance the bloodline, an opportunity out of reach for smaller demon beast clans, not to be missed!
Thinking about this, Niu Shangli clenched his hands tightly. When the action starts, he must throw out the Dragon Flame Pearl from the Flame Dragon Clan given by the Royal Court at the first opportunity!

"Husband, this painting isn’t as good as the ones I draw."
Walking down the road, Zhu Nanzhi looked at the scroll. "It’s like it was traced, not good looking. I’ll redraw it when we get back."
Lu Jin’an nodded. "Alright."
"Hehe." Zhu Nanzhi laughed joyfully, then asked, "Is there any Capturing Stone that recorded my husband before?"
Lu Jin’an shook his head, but Mu Qingyue said, "There is."
"There is?" Lu Jin’an looked at his Senior Sister in surprise. "Where did it come from?"
Mu Qingyue said casually, "I recorded it secretly."
"..."
Lu Jin’an was silent, and Zhu Nanzhi was speechless. "Why are you so unambitious?"
Mu Qingyue ’glanced’ at Lu Jin’an. "I’m not as bold as a certain ’bad older sister’."
Zhu Nanzhi was silent for a moment, then put away the scroll and hugged Lu Jin’an again. "Forget it, when we get back, let me see the Capturing Stone."
"Okay."
"That’s settled... Hmm?" Zhu Nanzhi suddenly paused, then leaned closer to sniff Lu Jin’an suspiciously, asking, "Why does Husband have Master’s scent on him?"
Mu Qingyue didn’t move closer to sniff because she had smelled it earlier.
She just thought asking through Nanzhi might get some useful information.
Lu Jin’an didn’t intend to hide it, so he said, "I changed my address for Palace Master Xiao, calling her ’Aunt Ruo.’ She gave me a hug."
Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes widened. "Just because of a change in address, she hugged you... that’s unexpected."
"Exactly." Mu Qingyue also nodded. "With Aunt Ruo’s personality, even if Junior Brother is her half son-in-law, she shouldn’t hug you."
Lu Jin’an felt his Senior Sister was stirring the pot, but he had no evidence.
He pinched Zhu Nanzhi’s cheek. "Could I possibly have ulterior motives towards Palace Master Xiao?"
"What if Aunt Ruo is interested in you?" Mu Qingyue asked lightly.
Zhu Nanzhi also nodded repeatedly, seriously considering that what Qingyue said might be true.
Lu Jin’an looked at them both helplessly. "Palace Master Xiao follows the Forget Love Path of protecting Qingmiao Domain, being righteous. Do you think she would be interested in me? Is that possible?"
Zhu Nanzhi frowned slightly, feeling her husband’s reasoning made sense... It was unlikely for Master to develop a Mortal Heart.
Lu Jin’an continued, "Don’t overthink it. Palace Master Xiao must have hugged me as a favor due to you, and she is probably hiding something."
He looked at Zhu Nanzhi. "Qingmiao Domain or the Northern Spiritual Clan might have encountered some significant issues, which Palace Master Xiao is also concealing from you. You should find a chance to ask her."
Hearing this, Zhu Nanzhi’s expression turned serious. "I understand."
Lu Jin’an nodded, jokingly saying, "When you were bathing earlier, Palace Master Xiao even teased us to consummate more, meaning you might not be able to come for a while after going back."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Nanzhi felt upset... It would be very uncomfortable not seeing her husband for so long.
So she earnestly said, "I will definitely help Master resolve matters quickly."
"Okay." Lu Jin’an nodded. "I might also come over then."
"That would be wonderful!" Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes lit up. "Husband, you have to keep your word~"
Lu Jin’an joked, "But I fear I might not be allowed in when the time comes."
"Small issue." Zhu Nanzhi snorted lightly. "As long as we aren’t discovered, it’s like I didn’t bring a man in, right?"
"Besides, Husband can just stay in my Tingquan Small House." Zhu Nanzhi walked briskly. "Avoid being seen by others~ hehehe."
Her laughter was full of joy... Locking her husband inside and not letting him out was something she had always looked forward to.
Lu Jin’an smiled. "Fine, sneak into the palace then."
"Speak in whispers!" Zhu Nanzhi’s cheeks blushed as she made a scissor gesture with her fingers, seemingly implying something.
Lu Jin’an couldn’t resist patting her head. "Every day with you."
"Hmm~ What’s the problem?"
A little further behind, Mu Qingyue listened to her Junior Brother and Nanzhi’s conversation, feeling somewhat strange.
Clearly, her Junior Brother and Nanzhi were both quite aware, so why were they so innocent regarding Aunt Ruo?
If Aunt Ruo really wanted her Junior Brother and Nanzhi to consummate more, why would she tell Junior Brother rather than Nanzhi?
The fact that her Junior Brother and Nanzhi thought this was normal!? So pure!
’But, what could Aunt Ruo’s reason be for urging Junior Brother and Nanzhi? Wanting to see?’
Mu Qingyue pondered silently, remembering when they first arrived at Taichu Hall, herself and her mother ’forced’ Aunt Ruo to peek into Cuiqing Inn at Junior Brother and Nanzhi opening their Dao Palace.
Had this Abstinent Forget Love Path fairy become addicted?
’And Aunt Ruo went to Huangyu Palace, never leaving... She could easily cast a barrier to prevent me from going, why did she insist on standing guard herself?’
’Given Aunt Ruo’s nature, could she become addicted from a mere glimpse? Is there another secret hidden?’
"Senior Sister? Why aren’t you walking anymore?"
Hearing her Junior Brother’s voice, Mu Qingyue snapped back to reality and started walking again, feeling the need to inquire ’mother.’
With ’mother’s’ cultivation and strength, it was impossible for her not to notice Aunt Ruo outside the window; perhaps ’mother’ knew something.
Thinking so, she casually asked Zhu Nanzhi, "Nanzhi, didn’t Aunt Ruo urge you and Junior Brother to consummate?"
"No..." Zhu Nanzhi replied instinctively, her expression suddenly pausing.
She straightened her back slightly, realizing a blind spot.
’Clearly, I’m Master’s apprentice, so why would such private matters be conveyed to my husband?’
Zhu Nanzhi gently bit her lower lip, while Lu Jin’an looked helplessly at his Senior Sister, wondering where she learned to stir things up so masterfully.
If Palace Master Xiao really liked me, what good would it do you?
Thinking this, he quickly reassured her. "Nanzhi, don’t listen to Senior Sister’s nonsense. You know Palace Master Xiao the best; she wouldn’t harbor such thoughts about me, right?"
"But..." Zhu Nanzhi looked a little conflicted, feeling Qingyue’s reasoning made sense.
Lu Jin’an felt a headache developing, thinking that Palace Master Xiao was indeed strange. Wouldn’t speaking to Nanzhi be better?
If a yandere were to become obsessed...
Lu Jin’an thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I barely interacted with Palace Master Xiao; she doesn’t know me, so how could she be interested in me?"
Time will prove everything, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Nanzhi thought for a moment as well, realizing that her Master didn’t know her husband well enough, so could it be possible for her to choose him just like she did at first sight?
How could Master’s Forget Love Path easily develop a Mortal Heart?
Zhu Nanzhi’s expression gradually relaxed, deciding to ask Master directly later.
Lu Jin’an let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Mu Qingyue. "Senior Sister, don’t speak so carelessly; Palace Master Xiao is a senior, and speaking like that about her isn’t right."
Mu Qingyue gave an "Mmm," saying, "Why would Aunt Ruo like you?"
"Exactly!" Lu Jin’an nodded. "She doesn’t even know me, how could she like me?"
"That’s right!" Zhu Nanzhi also affirmed with confidence, "There’s no way such a thing would happen!"
Mu Qingyue smiled again, thinking that since Nanzhi had started overthinking... if Aunt Ruo indeed had no feelings for Junior Brother, it would be a misunderstanding.
But if there was something else... well, the combination could grow!
As Lu Jin’an finished the topic regarding Palace Master Xiao, and took Nanzhi and Senior Sister out for a stroll, he felt a bit weary.
Preventing a yandere from overanalyzing... quite challenging.
’Find something else to do...’
As he thought this, Lu Jin’an took out his Communication Compass; a message from Second Junior Brother had arrived.
Tucking away the Communication Compass, a happy smile spread across his lips. "Senior Sister, get ready to take action."
Zhu Nanzhi blinked. "It shouldn’t mean what I’m thinking, right?"
"No."
Lu Jin’an glanced up at the position of the full moon in the night sky. "The Fox Clan should be about to arrive."
