Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 739 - 324: The Mysterious Huang Ningshang

"Why don't you guess why she locked me in the cage?"

As the words fell, Huang Ningshang voluntarily released Lu Jin'an's wrist, and as she stepped forward, her slender fingers brushed over the bars of the cage.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to sit down on a nearby step.

Her graceful and slender body was clad in a neat and fitting black dress, highlighting a chest and delicate waist no less impressive than that of the Master.

As the hem of her skirt moved up, her long jade legs were revealed, wrapped in silk trousers, straight and slender, with a faint glimpse of smooth, snowy skin.

At this moment, her well-proportioned, slender, and beautiful calves were slightly crossed, openly displaying the smooth, snowy-white feet akin to mutton fat jade.

Lu Jin'an's gaze was fixed on Huang Ningshang's face; at this moment, Huang Ningshang was looking at him with a bland expression.

With long black hair tied up, Huang Ningshang's long red phoenix eyes had a natural allure, giving off an innate sense of intimidation.

Her features bore at least a seventy percent resemblance to the Master, but compared to the Master's inadvertent allure and charm, Huang Ningshang exuded a unique authority and allure derived from long-standing power.

Lu Jin'an slightly lowered his eyelids, thinking it made sense. As her Master's older sister, Huang Ningshang must have shouldered more responsibilities, otherwise, the Master wouldn't appear so relaxed and leisurely, occasionally revealing a playful side.

However, as for her question...

Lu Jin'an had a thought: at first, his sister and Huang Ningshang were cooperating on something, but midway, there might have been a huge disagreement, and one kicked the other out...

But considering what Huang Ningshang just said, "I came here voluntarily," this assumption didn't hold.

Although it's possible Huang Ningshang voluntarily conceded, would such a woman truly concede?

Besides, his sister only became an Immortal this year, even though Huang Ningshang held her in high regard, could such a vague and profound 'powerfulness' really make the seemingly transcendent Huang Ningshang give way?

Unless, Huang Ningshang has some unknown motive.

Recalling what Huang Ningshang said earlier, Lu Jin'an pondered and said, "Is it for Senior Sister to receive the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance?"

Thinking from the standpoint of doing it for her daughter, it made sense.

Huang Ningshang clapped her hands gently, a faint smile on her lips, "Wrong guess."

"..."

Why clap for a wrong guess?

Lu Jin'an was speechless for a moment, then retorted, "Weren't you trying to change 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' into a suitable inheritance for Qingyue?"

"That was just incidental."

"Incidental?" Lu Jin'an stared at Huang Ningshang suspiciously, "Killing the Phoenix and refining 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,' is that 'incidental'?"

Huang Ningshang did not answer Lu Jin'an's question, she simply patted the spot beside her, indicating for him to sit down.

Lu Jin'an did not move but replied earnestly, "I can hear your voice from here."

Huang Ningshang looked at him with a slight smile, "Would you like to hear my true purpose for coming here? It has to do with your sister."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jin'an walked over and sat down, keeping a certain distance from her, not even letting his clothes touch hers.

Originally, it didn't matter if Huang Ningshang didn't say anything, but since it involved his sister, he had to listen.

If previously he thought about resisting or taking 'revenge' on his sister, now, he genuinely wanted to overcome the 'mountain' of his sister.

"She indeed has a significant influence on you." Huang Ningshang turned to look at him, her voice softening, "That's also why you reacted so strongly when you heard the Upper Realm cultivators say 'make you escape,' right?"

Lu Jin'an expressionlessly looked at the ground, realizing this woman had been watching him secretly all along, and what's more...

Did she understand him so well?

"What did you see in Taishi Chong's memory?"

"..."

Lu Jin'an remained silent, and Huang Ningshang chuckled, "'Great Freedom Visualization Technique' is an Immortal Law I wrote together with Lu Yunzhu."

"..."

"What you learned wasn't an incomplete version, just half of it," Huang Ningshang said lightly, "because the latter part varies depending on the person, depending on the path they wish to take.

But it's useless to mention these, because in this world, only two people practice this Immortal Law."

Lu Jin'an voiced his doubt, "Did you understand me through the 'Great Freedom Visualization Technique'?"

Huang Ningshang provided words that reassured Lu Jin'an a lot, "No."

But what she said next rendered Lu Jin'an speechless, "She disdains using such methods, and naturally, I do too."

"Her love for you is very heavy, isn't it?" Huang Ningshang looked at him with a playful smile.

"Yes." Lu Jin'an leaned back, resting his elbows on the highest step, his expression unchanged, "I experienced it since childhood."

When he was young, besides being particularly strict with him in cultivation, his sister wasn't strict in other aspects.

Especially in clothing, food, housing, and transportation, he lived a life where everything was handed to him, making him half a spoiled person.

"Angry?"

"Something I anticipated long ago." Lu Jin'an smiled, "Though heavy, it's also true she's good to me. I wouldn't forsake everything I've learned now for these, wouldn't that prove I'm even more afraid of her than before?"

'Besides, other than Master, whose love isn't heavy?'

Lu Jin'an thought silently, then asked, "So, why do you want to understand me? Because of my sister?"

"That's a long story, let's not talk about it." Huang Ningshang said lightly, and before Lu Jin'an could probe further, she switched the topic directly, "You know that besides the Yunding Continent, there's a vast world outside, right?"
