Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 700 - 305 "Great King, shattered to pieces, shattered to ten thousand pieces."_2

Barefoot it is, it won't lead to any issues.

Of course, one must wear proper clothes.

Lu Jin'an couldn't help but recall that night when Zhiyu was in her big sister form...

That night, he actually didn't need Master to remind him of Zhiyu's grandeur; he witnessed and felt it firsthand in the snow.

Watching Zhiyu happily run in his line of sight, Lu Jin'an shook his head with a laugh, thinking what nonsense?

Even if Zhiyu practices Dual Cultivation, it doesn't change the fact that she's silly. How could he have bad thoughts about a silly one?

That would be too beastly.

'I wonder to what extent she needs to learn before she can swallow that eggshell fragment?'

Lu Jin'an pondered silently, and besides, there's probably more than one piece of the Candle Dragon Egg; will the Azure Dragon Clan provide other fragments?

He slowed his pace for a moment, only to have Zhiyu catch hold of his sleeve the next second: "Mas... Great King, Zhiyu is hungry."

"Got it." Lu Jin'an quickened his pace while glancing towards the back mountain; the tribulation clouds weren't as strong as they initially were, but they hadn't disappeared yet.

Senior Sister's Crossing Tribulation is taking quite long, is it because of the Half-demon Bloodline?

With Master around, he's not worried about any accidents during Senior Sister's tribulation unless the Origin he provided is insufficient.

But Senior Sister hasn't contacted him, so the issue should not be significant.

"Go play for a while."

Leaving Zhiyu with this line, Lu Jin'an walked into the kitchen.

Zhiyu lingered at the door watching for a while, then turned, her eyes darting before she ran off to Huangyu Palace.

Like a gust of wind, she ran into Huangyu Palace, snuggling up next to Pei Wanyu, who was reading at her desk, and chirped: "The Great King is back."

"The Great King?" Pei Wanyu paused, looking down at Zhiyu's happy little face, and realized she meant Jin'an.

Pei Wanyu couldn't help but be amused; what a strange nickname is this?

She didn't ask more, nor did she disdain Zhiyu's dirty hands, though she didn't help with cleaning. Such moments of goodwill should be left to the good disciple.

"Just, just Master." Zhiyu spread her arms: "Making lots of tasty food for Zhiyu."

"Got it." Pei Wanyu stroked Zhiyu's head: "You go play first."

"Not going to see the Great King?" Zhiyu blinked: "The Great King will be happy."

Pei Wanyu immediately saw through her little scheme—it was to get the good disciple to make a few more dishes.

This little one would be better off putting such thoughts into cultivation.

"Go tell him, say I want to eat these dishes, and then go have lunch by the pavilion to the west, okay?" Pei Wanyu said, listing the names of the dishes. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Got it." Zhiyu ran back to the kitchen with a patter, shouting out the first word of each dish name randomly, and then added a few nonexistent words, pointing at her head as she said: "West, cool!"

Seeing Zhiyu's earnest look, Lu Jin'an found it amusing; he didn't mind her misreporting the dish names but was concerned she couldn't tell directions yet.

These common senses must be taught; otherwise, if she runs off somewhere unknown, it would be trouble, especially if she ran into the Demon Clan.

"Got it, go play."

Lu Jin'an replied as he continued to cook, pondering how to teach her.

Seeing the Great King didn't say much, Zhiyu turned around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her little expression turned a bit conflicted.

Is it wrong to lie?

Sitting idly under the eaves by the door, she stared blankly at the falling snow for the better part of an hour.

Lu Jin'an watched her for a while, not initiating any conversation.

Just increasingly feeling that Zhiyu is indeed silly.

Luckily, the little one has long practiced fasting; otherwise, given her silly nature, would she hold it in even when nature calls?

Thinking so, Lu Jin'an heard the roar of tribulation lightning from the back mountain completely disappear; Senior Sister has advanced to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

He took out the Communication Compass and sent a message.

Inside the cave mansion at the back mountain, sitting cross-legged on the Soul Nourishing Jade Marrow Platform, Mu Qingyue was surrounded by a layer of frost and pitch-black demon energy. On one side of her back, the phoenix wings extended, healing the injuries from the tribulation.

Mu Qingyue looked down at her own hands with her red eyes, lost in thought for quite a while.

Sometimes she wondered why, despite having half of the Black Phoenix Bloodline flowing through her, she had no talent in the Time Path.

Not at all!

As if she only inherited the Black Phoenix's lineage purely...

But she didn't trouble herself too much with this, because her talent in the Sword Dao not only surpassed her peers but even many of the older generation sword cultivators couldn't match her.

Regarding a deeper exploration of her bloodline's reason... Mu Qingyue never thought about it.

She knew who her mother was but had no clue about her father; even her aunt didn't know.

So, she never intended to search for him, just wanted to avenge her mother.

Moreover, Mu Qingyue thought it didn't matter much, even if she didn't have a father, she could still call her Junior Brother 'father.'

Smiling at the corner of her mouth, she took the Communication Compass, glancing at the message from her Junior Brother with a light smirk.

Because her Junior Brother was asking her if she wanted to eat.

In her mind, Mu Qingyue first wondered how her Junior Brother could use such a gentle tone to ask her?

Even if asked, it could have been more intense.

For example, with a particular term of address.

Unconsciously, Mu Qingyue placed her hand on her abdomen, where a pink glow could be seen through her clothing.

After gently rubbing it a few times, she remembered the ink from the three words written by her Junior Brother had long dried.

"Junior Brother has to practice calligraphy again soon~"

Mu Qingyue murmured softly, then replied: Not eating.

If the phrasing had been more intense, she would have gone, but now, she wasn't interested.

Tossing the Communication Compass aside, Mu Qingyue looked up at the closed mountain top, her red eyes glossed over.

"When will Junior Brother ever stop being so conservative?"

Inside the cave mansion, there was a faint sigh.

······

Seeing the message from his Senior Sister, Lu Jin'an, without saying much, placed nearly twenty dishes on the stone table in the pavilion.

The invisible Barrier shielded the pavilion from the wind and snow, while Lu Jin'an brought in a brazier.

A pot of newly brewed green ant wine, and the small red earthen stove.

He warmed a pot of wine for Master, and as he looked at Pei Wanyu approaching in a tight-fitting black and red dress, his eyes lit up.

Indeed, as Qiu Qingtang said, while cuteness is Justice, in the face of sexiness, it pales in comparison.

Lu Jin'an felt slightly envious; as Qiu Qingtang put it, a woman can look incredibly alluring just by changing her clothes.

"Master." Lu Jin'an went up to her, and as Pei Wanyu lightly raised her right hand, he naturally held her upper arm, teasing with a smile: "Empress Dowager?"

"You've become the Great King; shouldn't I be promoted?" Pei Wanyu gave him a sideways glance, her tone slightly grieved: "Don't you think my complexion has dulled a lot?"

Lu Jin'an seriously took a second glance and then followed the topic: "Empress Dowager, I must consider the ministers' and people's opinions; visiting you too often isn't good, don't you think?"

How peculiar.

Pei Wanyu rolled her eyes at him, dropping the act.

Lu Jin'an chuckled, leaning in to whisper by her ear: "You need to be well-fed to have strength."

"Do you need to eat?"

"Snacks are snacks, and a main meal is a main meal." Lu Jin'an, holding Pei Wanyu's small hand, said while seating her: "Later, this disciple intends to thoroughly enjoy Master here."

"Here?"

Pei Wanyu paused. Though the Barrier at Taichu Peak isolates all external perceptions, outside in the snow, in such cold...

Well, the pavilion is surrounded by a Barrier, there's a brazier inside, enjoying snow while doing so...

Pei Wanyu bit her red lip gently and, after a moment, nodded imperceptibly.

Lu Jin'an smiled, pouring her wine as he continued to ask: "How's Master progressing with that Ancient Method?"

"Of course..." Pei Wanyu started proudly, but her voice halted suddenly. Thinking about doing something here made her slightly guilty.

In this environment, would there be any influence?

But then she thought, the good disciple could hardly be unaffected, so Pei Wanyu's heart immediately steadied again.

Taking a slow sip of warm wine, she calmly said: "Don't underestimate your Master. But you, make sure you don't 'shrink' because of the cold."

"That will never happen." Lu Jin'an added some food to her plate: "This disciple looks forward to receiving your results."

"Who's receiving..." Pei Wanyu instinctively retorted but, glancing at Zhiyu enjoying her meal with a spoon, decided not to continue bantering with Lu Jin'an.

Lu Jin'an watched Zhiyu, keeping Master company with a drink, pondering how to handle this little girl after a while?

While enjoying her meal, Zhiyu lowered her head slightly, eating while contemplating a very important issue.

The Great King mentioned a main meal just now; what delicious food could the main meal be?

Would they eat it without Zhiyu knowing?

Zhiyu wants to eat too...
