Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 694 - 302: If It Gets Puffed Up..._2

I wonder what their attitude towards Qingqiu is...

Thinking about it, Qiu Qingtang's steps along the path became lighter and lighter, then...

She paused.

She and the little raccoon on her shoulder looked at the dragon-horned, strange-eyed girl by the courtyard table.

Within the barrier, the girl sat on the ground with her back against a stone bench, surrounded by a circle of plates.

Some plates were already empty, but others still had food left, and most notably, there was a five-layer cake closest to her.

The top three layers of the cake were clean, while pieces from the bottom two layers were occasionally grabbed by a small hand and sent into her mouth.

Then, with the spoon in her left hand, the girl scooped up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.

The moment she swallowed, a blissful expression appeared on her face, her little short legs swinging happily and then crossing, and the dark dragon tail behind her gently thumping the ground, utterly joyous.

Qiu Qingtang silently looked at the little girl leaning against the stone bench, looked at her dragon horns, and then at her dragon tail...

She was indeed a member of the Dragon Clan, and with dark dragon scales at that.

As the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu, Qiu Qingtang naturally knew what a dark dragon implied.

It meant an ancestral bloodline, meaning she could be called a 'Candle Dragon.'

And for this little girl to have a dark dragon tail, it meant her bloodline's reversion was quite significant.

No wonder such powerful Dragon Breath was released, but... so small?

"Master, master." Xiao Li spoke softly, "She looks even smaller than Xiao Li."

"Mhm." Qiu Qingtang gently nodded, taking steps towards Zhiyu.

Zhiyu, hearing movement, lifted her head to look, not recognizing her.

But the little one still stood up immediately, guarding the cake behind her and watching Qiu Qingtang with caution as she approached.

'So cute.'

Qiu Qingtang's pink eyes brightened, looking at the little girl with traces of cream at the corners of her mouth, feeling an impulse to change her attire.

She wondered whose childhood clothing this little girl was wearing that looked so mismatched.

Qiu Qingtang stopped, crouched in front of Zhiyu, and asked, "What's your name?"

Zhiyu glanced at her, seeing she didn't seem to be there to take the cake. She relaxed her raised hands.

Turning around, she continued eating.

Qiu Qingtang looked at Zhiyu's back, where the dragon tail beneath her dress caused a bulge, revealing her slender legs and bare feet beneath.

She couldn't help but sigh. Who dressed her like this?

So casual, not stylish at all.

Practically free-range!

Even more absurd, this little girl with the Candle Dragon bloodline didn't mind one bit!

Is there such a 'humble' Dragon Clan?

Qiu Qingtang extended her right hand, "Tell big sis..."

Before finishing her sentence, Zhiyu suddenly turned her head, her heterochromatic eyes fixed on Qiu Qingtang's right hand as if saying she'd bite if it came any closer.

Qiu Qingtang squinted slightly, feeling the surrounding space suddenly become turbulent, like a cage, ready to flatten everything around.

But in the next second, the little girl glanced behind Qiu Qingtang, shrank her neck, and quickly turned back to keep eating the cake.

The pressure vanished without a trace.

Qiu Qingtang retracted her right hand, stood up, turned around, and looked at Pei Wanyu, who was standing at the courtyard entrance, bowing, "Junior greets Master Pei."

As she spoke, she looked at Pei Wanyu with curiosity. Why would the Candle Dragon be afraid of Master Pei?

It didn't make sense.

Pei Wanyu gently nodded at Qiu Qingtang, then stepped forward to sit by the table, looking at Zhiyu.

She had rushed over the moment she detected the spatial disturbance to prevent Zhiyu from losing control of her power and vanishing into a spatial passage.

Seeing the uneaten cake after a day, Pei Wanyu couldn't help but smile knowingly; this little one indeed had her own small wisdom when it came to food.

Knowing Jin'an wasn't around, she even saved food.

Moreover, she unraveled the spatial problem set by Jin'an; she's not too dull.

Pei Wanyu looked at Zhiyu, who glanced at her, then quietly moved to the other side of the cake to squat down, trying to hide herself adorably.

"Zhiyu doesn't want to eat vegetables," Zhiyu whispered, "Master wanted Zhiyu to eat them, but Zhiyu didn't finish."

Zhiyu?

Qiu Qingtang's eyes flashed with surprise; a name like that for a little Candle Dragon wasn't imposing at all.

Even her speaking voice was soft and cute.

If she hadn't indeed felt the Dragon Breath within her, Qiu Qingtang might suspect her dragon horns and tail were fake.

"Are they still cold?" Pei Wanyu teasingly asked Zhiyu, "Is the cake as tasty as when you first got it?"

Zhiyu looked at Pei Wanyu, and after a moment seemed to accept her question, then shook her head immediately.

Pei Wanyu lazily rested her right leg on her left and said meaningfully, "If you finish, Master will come back and make you new, tasty food."

Zhiyu paused for a few seconds, suddenly running to gobble up the leftovers before hastily swallowing the cake.

Pei Wanyu smiled with satisfaction, and Qiu Qingtang subconsciously glanced at Zhiyu's little tummy but found no change.

If it bulged, it would definitely look colorful.

A hint of regret flashed in her eyes, and turning her head, she saw Pei Wanyu looking at her with a playful smile.

Even with Qiu Qingtang's thick skin, she felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.

She subconsciously had her mind full of colorful thoughts...

"Ahem." Qiu Qingtang covered her mouth with her right fist, curiously asking Pei Wanyu, "You said 'Master' was..."

"Jin'an." Pei Wanyu pointed at Zhiyu, "That's what she's always called him."

"Huh?" A flash of surprise crossed Qiu Qingtang's eyes; a Candle Dragon recognizing a Human Clan member as master... kind of absurd, no?

Wouldn't the Dragon Clan be outraged?

However, recalling Zhiyu's eating reaction when questioned by Pei Wanyu earlier, Qiu Qingtang seemed to understand somewhat.

She turned to look at Zhiyu, whose eating speed was quick but utterly lacked in form.

After finishing, the little one licked her fingers, then happily ran to the courtyard gate, spun around, looked, then spun again, and finally turned to Pei Wanyu, her wide eyes filled with naïve curiosity.

"Why hasn't Master come back? Why hasn't Zhiyu seen him?"

Hearing Zhiyu's voice, Qiu Qingtang was entirely convinced.

This little Candle Dragon was a fool.

Though understanding this, Qiu Qingtang found Zhiyu even more colorful... more adorable.

As a member of the Demon Clan herself, she naturally knew Zhiyu's real age surpassed her appearance, so...

"Young Master Lu's apprentice..." Qiu Qingtang murmured, Pei Wanyu gave her a glance and beckoned to Zhiyu.

Zhiyu approached with confusion, looking up at Pei Wanyu, "Master didn't come back."

Pei Wanyu patted her little noggin, "He'll return when you're hungry."

Zhiyu pouted, "Zhiyu is hungry now."

Then she patted her little belly, declaring, "Hungry!"

Pei Wanyu laughed softly and then took out her communication compass to contact Lu Jin'an.

Zhiyu looked curiously at the object in her hand, first sniffing it, then tilting her little head and tentatively taking a bite.

Crunch.

Crispy.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey."

Zhiyu wrinkled her nose, finding it not tasty at all.

Pei Wanyu, amused, looked at the communication compass now missing a corner; luckily, it still functioned perfectly.

"Your master," Pei Wanyu said, placing the communication compass before Zhiyu, showing Lu Jin'an's virtual image on it.

"Wow! Master!" Zhiyu happily clapped her little hands, and looking at the tiny master, couldn't resist opening her mouth to bite.

Wouldn't a smaller master be easier to eat?

Clink!

The sound of teeth meeting nothingness filled the air.

Zhiyu held her little mouth, puzzled at why she couldn't eat the image of Lu Jin'an.

"..."

"..."

Both Pei Wanyu and the virtual image of Lu Jin'an on the communication compass were speechless.

Qiu Qingtang's pink eyes gleamed brightly at Zhiyu's actions, her fox tail under her skirt gently swaying, as if she had discovered something amusing.

"Master, does she want to eat Young Master Lu?" Xiao Li whispered, "Eating humans, eh~"

Qiu Qingtang's lips curled into a smile, a playful meaning obvious in it to Xiao Li.

"'Eating' also depends on how you eat."

Qiu Qingtang's fox ears twitched, her gaze fixed on Zhiyu's small figure without blinking.

Young Master Lu, Little Candle Dragon...

She had a more perfect plan in mind.

This trip was indeed worthwhile; it's just unknown whether this little Candle Dragon can fulfill a role similar to the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons, Candle Dragon, in the future.

If possible, her plan would become much easier...
