Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

Quickly finishing the tasks on the desk, Pei Wanyu stood up and headed to Taiyi Peak.

As she approached, Zheng Dongliu was playing with the Immortal Sword 'Du Duan', while Ji Wenchang stood slightly bent over, being lectured by Zheng Dongliu.

It was obviously about Ji Wenchang's proposal to form a Demon Sect Expedition Team... This proposal was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and easily exploited by the Wuji Demon Sect to cause trouble in various domains.

A rather poor plan.

Pei Wanyu wasn't interested in their conversation and just took two steps forward to ask, "The Yulin Domain will surely send someone to investigate. Should we send Jin'an? If so, I'll lead the team."

"No problem." Zheng Dongliu sheathed the sword and tossed it to Ji Wenchang, turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "Qi Zheng will handle this matter..."

He waved his hand to let Ji Wenchang leave, then asked, "Aren't you worried about being detected by the Huang Clan now?"

"Jin'an is about to cross tribulation." Pei Wanyu smiled slightly, "Some things should be put on the agenda too."

"Crossing tribulation, huh..." Zheng Dongliu stroked his beard, "Is he planning to break through at the Two Realms Pass?"

"I haven't asked yet." Pei Wanyu said indifferently, "But given his temperament, it's highly likely."

"There's no hurry to go to the Two Realms Pass." Zheng Dongliu pondered for two seconds, "When the time comes, new disciples will go to the Two Realms Pass for training, and I was thinking to have him lead. As for now..."

He took out an invitation letter, "Sumeru Mountain is hosting the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition to promote their Buddha's son, and they want Jin'an to suppress the son's influence a bit."

Pei Wanyu understood in her heart. Sumeru Mountain and the Buddhist Sect have always aspired for the lost Mahayana Buddhism that only exists in the Upper Realm, and they also understand the method of becoming immortal through incense. Moreover, during the direct conflict between the Lower and Upper Realms, they had always been undecided, only confirming their neutrality just before the war.

To Zheng Dongliu, this has always been an unstable factor, so he has consistently suppressed Sumeru Mountain's wide-spread charity and development of followers in various domains, whether openly or covertly.

It was only after a Buddhist eradication campaign by several dynasties east of the Eastern Great Realm a thousand years ago that the Buddhist Sect led by Sumeru Mountain substantially restrained themselves.

"In nearly a thousand years, this is the first time Sumeru Mountain has held such a grand martial arts competition and sent an invitation to Wandao Sect. They seem to have great confidence in this Buddha's son."

Zheng Dongliu handed the invitation to Pei Wanyu, "You can go with Jin'an then."

"Alright." Pei Wanyu did not refuse. To her, it didn't matter where she went, but rather with whom.

It had been a long time since she went out with her treasured disciple.

"I'll go inform Jin'an."

······

"Young Master Lu, enjoying your leisure today?"

In the mountains of Wandao Sect, by the relatively secluded Feipu Lake, Qiu Qingtang walked gracefully to Lu Jin'an, who was fishing, gathered her skirt, and sat beside him, "I thought you wouldn't be able to get out of bed today.

After all, you know so much, wouldn't you want to try everything?"

"And... aren't you going to spend more time with Qingyue?"

"She's still asleep." Lu Jin'an smiled, "How did you know I was here?"

"I sniffed my way over." Qiu Qingtang giggled, "My nose is really sharp."

Pausing, she observed Lu Jin'an's complexion and continued, "Qingyue isn't your match, is she? Didn't her mother help her? Or can you take on both?"

She prattled on, "Logically, with Qingyue's coldness, the stimulation should be very strong for you, can you handle such drastic contrast between fire and ice?"

"Guess?"

"Don't forget you promised to narrate the process to me!" Qiu Qingtang snorted lightly, "I want to hear it now!"

With that, she took out a small notebook, ready to listen attentively.

"In a couple of days." Lu Jin'an said lazily, "I'm not in the mood now."

"Admiring flowers, climbing peaks, exploring, arranging flowers, watching tides..." Qiu Qingtang said pensively, "Are you in the 'Burning Incense' phase now?"

"Hmm..."

"Isn't that perfect?" Qiu Qingtang looked at him with sparkling pink eyes, "You can narrate with a calm mind, without worrying about getting aroused while talking."

"I don't feel like talking now."

"Do you believe I'll make sure you can't catch any fish?" Qiu Qingtang glared, "I'll jump in the water!"

"Go ahead."

Qiu Qingtang glanced at the lake, listening to the crashing sound of the waterfall, her eyes twinkling, "Too bad I can't today, after all, I'm wearing such silk stockings..."

She lifted the hem of her skirt to her knees, revealing her long, slender legs.

Lu Jin'an lazily glanced... huh?

He took another glance, and then another...

He turned his head fully to look at Qiu Qingtang's legs, left leg with black silk, right leg with white silk, the contrasting stocking colors providing a striking visual impact.

Whether it's black or white silk, they clung to Qiu Qingtang's calves like a thin mist, outlining the graceful curves and showcasing different allure.

A hint of pride flickered in Qiu Qingtang's eyes; she didn't believe she couldn't handle him.

"Not bad." Lu Jin'an nodded, "A new idea?"

"Mm-hmm~" Qiu Qingtang folded her legs, pinching her calves with her fingers, "Different-colored silk stockings on both legs should bring different charm, but I think black and white are the most alluring, don't you think?"

"Hmm." Lu Jin'an nodded, "But you could try gradient colors."

"Gradient colors?" Qiu Qingtang's eyes brightened, "You mean..."

Suddenly she changed her tone, "I don't understand."

She then turned her body, positioning her legs toward Lu Jin'an, "Young Master Lu, could you explain?"

Noticing the tips of her embroidered shoes touching his thighs, where the black and white stockings were, Lu Jin'an averted his gaze.

As Qiu Qingtang adjusted her skirt, a glimpse of her creamy white thigh flashed.

Over-the-knee stockings, huh... Anyway, black and white double stockings only look good when over-the-knee.

"Young Master Lu, from where should the gradient start?" Qiu Qingtang wrapped her arms around her calves, rested her face on her knees, and tilted her head to look at Lu Jin'an.

The pink fox ears swayed with the fox tail, showcasing her adorable and curious side.

Seeing her expression, Lu Jin'an knew that the slight exposure of thigh skin earlier was likely intentional.

Lu Jin'an raised his fishing rod, tossing a fish into the basket, "I don't believe you don't understand."

"I really don't know." Qiu Qingtang lifted her right leg, blinking, "Where should the gradient begin? Thigh? Knee? Or calf?"

Lu Jin'an smiled, "You wearing white silk... isn't as pretty as Nanzhi."

"..." Qiu Qingtang twitched her lips, feeling the urge to kick him into the lake.

Lu Jin'an turned to Qiu Qingtang, his expression serious, "I'm not lying to you."

Qiu Qingtang took a deep breath, then looked at the black silk on her left leg, "Wearing black silk isn't as alluring as your Master, right?"

"Not exactly." Lu Jin'an shook his head, "My Master has her own charm, you have your own allure."

The allure of a mature woman and a youthful woman in black silk are two different feelings.

Qiu Qingtang's eyes twinkled, "Then let me ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Do you prefer the hazy body lines of loose clothing under the sun or the curves outlined by tight clothing?"

Lu Jin'an imagined it, "Only children make choices, I like both."

"Oh..." Qiu Qingtang looked at his profile, "So you have a wide range of preferences in this area, can accept all types of play?"

"How did you conclude that?" Lu Jin'an glanced at her speechlessly, "Besides, I find training types rather ordinary."

"But haven't you trained Qingyue?"

"Oh?" Lu Jin'an asked nonchalantly, "You know?"

"I visited her place, it was spectacular." Qiu Qingtang played with her ponytail, "Didn't you use any of it?

When she showed me, she was very excited."

Listening to Qiu Qingtang's voice, Lu Jin'an understood that she only knew about the surface layer disguised by his Senior Sister, so he stopped overthinking it.

Then Qiu Qingtang suddenly began speaking excitedly, "Since she likes this type of excitement, why not use my Puppetry Technique?"

"No need." Lu Jin'an shook his head after a few seconds of silence, knowing that his Senior Sister was defeated rather quickly.

With a single candle, she could pass out.

After all, she was a cunning S disguised as an M.

She surely finds it hard to accept M matters.

Pulling in his fishing rod, Lu Jin'an stood up and picked up the fish basket, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. You can research those gradient silk stockings, I'm looking forward to it."

Qiu Qingtang tilted her head to look at Lu Jin'an, wrinkling her jade-like nose, realizing something was off about his mood.

Last night... was he startled by Qingyue's antics?
