Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

Dongfang Zeyang kowtowed repeatedly like pounding garlic: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Miss, I was wrong..."

He didn't know what he was wrong about, but it didn't stop him from admitting his mistake.

Lu Yunzhu continued to tap the armrest with her fingers, waiting until his throat was hoarse from apologizing before she stopped tapping.

Dongfang Zeyang's voice came to an abrupt halt, finally he was done apologizing... Shouldn't it be all right now?

Dongfang Zeyang quietly exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart, but the atmosphere of silence made his heart tense up again, and his expression became increasingly stiff.

"The daughter you raised..."

"My little daughter Dongfang Xingsong is already dead." Dongfang Zeyang quickly said.

Lu Yunzhu looked into the distance, her voice devoid of any emotion: "She called my brother a 'slave,' I wouldn't bring you here for that, but she said another sentence...

'If you don't want your master to get into trouble, then stand still.'"

Lu Yunzhu spoke softly: "Master? Who is his master?"

"You, it's you!" Dongfang Zeyang said loudly: "You are his master!"

Lu Yunzhu laughed: "You misspoke, I am not."

Dongfang Zeyang's face changed, and he kowtowed again: "Miss, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"Does it matter if you were wrong?" Lu Yunzhu slowly stood up, the sound of her high heels on the grass was somewhat dull.

Dongfang Zeyang's face dramatically changed: "Miss, I really was wrong, really wrong, please understand, I didn't know anything, there won't be a next time, there won't be..."

Lu Yunzhu extended her hand, and a maid promptly handed her a gleaming metal rod.

She said faintly: "Come here."

Dongfang Zeyang's face changed, but before he could react, an armored figure pressed him down in front of Lu Yunzhu.

The metal rod was placed against the back of his head, Dongfang Zeyang struggled, but upon finding no escape, he shook like a sieve: "Miss, I really was wrong, wrong..."

He screamed, Qin Ningxu on the side turned away, body tensed, and then—

Bam—

"Ah—"

The screams echoed across the fields.

Three times in total, the rod sound was as loud as ever, but the screams grew weaker each time.

When Lu Yunzhu landed the final strike, she calmly said: "Your throne has an heir."

Bam!

Lu Yunzhu tossed the metal rod aside onto the ground, her red dress striking, yet without a trace of blood.

"Throw him to the pasture." Lu Yunzhu said, recalling something: "Together with him."

Steward Zhang, who was kneeling and trembling on the side, suddenly looked up and was about to speak when a guard punched him in the mouth and dragged him away.

The maid cleaned the lawn, while Lu Yunzhu walked down the hill, Qin Ningxu hurriedly catching up, eyes filled with lingering fear.

This wasn't her first time seeing such a scene: no matter who it was, regardless of status, they were all personally dealt with by her cousin with a brand new metal rod.

Without exception.

Qin Ningxu looked at her cousin's profile, thinking despite being such a beautiful fairy, when it came to matters concerning her cousin, she was like a terrifying evil spirit.

Yet her cousin was strict with her cousin, but never revealed this side in front of him...

Then why did her cousin leave home?

Qin Ningxu tilted her head looking at Lu Yunzhu, asking once again: "Cousin, why did cousin leave home?"

Lu Yunzhu smiled slightly: "Boys need to go out and explore."

This was a lie.

Lu Yunzhu actually didn't want Lu Jin'an to leave her sight at all, even if he was a prodigal who did nothing... As long as she raised him.

As for the risks outside, she would deal with them.

Originally, she indeed intended this, but after that night more than ten years ago, she found the consequences of her bold actions were somewhat out of control.

Before, Jin'an feared her, but it was the fear of a younger brother towards his elder sister. However, after that night, she found fear in Jin'an's eyes when looking at her.

Lu Yunzhu knew she had gone too far, so she allowed him to leave home without anyone interfering.

Because she didn't want a 'child husband' constantly terrified of her in the future, and what if it scared him so much that even his body would shrink away from her, his sister?

Therefore, letting him go out to change his mood and boost his confidence was a good thing.

On this basis, she adjusted her plans for external risks.

Since her brother went out to train, let him handle those matters for her, and then... return home in glory and marry.

He doesn't want to?

Does he dare not want to?

If he truly dares not want to... Hmph, whoever marries whom doesn't matter.

From the moment he was born, he was destined to escape.

Lu Yunzhu's lips curled into a gentle yet slightly twisted smile.

Jin'an was her hand-raised 'child husband,' after all.

Though he's been away for ten years, what does it matter?

For a child, the most important companionship is before the age of five, and those years of Jin'an were all spent with her daily as his sister.

"Is that so?" Qin Ningxu blinked her eyes, always feeling her cousin's answer was a lie: "But cousin, you're so strong, cousin practicing at home would be fine, right? After all, you're very strict with his cultivation."

Lu Yunzhu smiled without answering Qin Ningxu's question.

The reason she trained her brother so strictly wasn't to make him the strongest but simply to prolong his life.

Always being together was her only reason for making him work hard in cultivation.

Lu Yunzhu's smile slightly faded: "Wandering outside and staying home isn't the same."

"How is it different?"

Lu Yunzhu patted Qin Ningxu's head: "At home, he would lose confidence."

"Oh..." Qin Ningxu nodded somewhat understandingly, then clapped her hands: "Will cousin bring back Nanny Pei and the others when he returns?"

Lu Yunzhu looked at Qin Ningxu with a smiling gaze, causing Qin Ningxu to shrink her neck chilling her spine.

Just as the tension in her heart grew, Lu Yunzhu casually said: "It's not about them entering the Lu family, but me going to find them."

Qin Ningxu looked up at her cousin, the breeze lifting her red-streaked long hair, her revealed face seemed playful yet carried a hint of darkness.

Qin Ningxu suddenly knew her cousin bore ill intent.

She quietly gulped, cautiously asking: "So, cousin must be brought back, right?"

Lu Yunzhu tucked the blowing strands behind her ear, speaking faintly: "Did I agree?"

"Uncle and Aunt..."

Lu Yunzhu glanced at her, laughter filled with indeterminacy.

Qin Ningxu's heart chilled, was the Lu family already her cousin's Lu family?!

She quickly averted her gaze, changing the subject: "Cousin, you really like wearing red clothes..."

Lu Yunzhu's face blossomed into a bright smile, on her eighteenth birthday night, she wore red to coax Little Jin'an into bed.

That was her favorite memory to recall.

Seeing her cousin's heartfelt smile, Qin Ningxu was momentarily dazed: "So, so beautiful..."

Typically, Lu Yunzhu remained indifferent to others' compliments.

"The first time Jin'an praised me was when he was five, and he said he'd marry me when he grew up~"

Qin Ningxu blinked as her cousin's smile slowly faded, seemingly talking to herself: "Jin'an has reached the Late-stage Harmonization Realm, right?"

"Mm-hmm." Qin Ningxu quickly said: "He might even be Crossing Tribulation now."

"Not yet, but... almost."

Lu Yunzhu chuckled, and without stopping her steps, the spiritual power surged around her, directly sending Qin Ningxu away from the place.

A faint thunder, fierce stormy rain, the night instantly replaced daylight, and nine days of thunder roared.

Lu Yunzhu's waterfall-like red-streaked hair flew about, her dress flapping loudly as she strolled amidst the sky full of lightning...

It was as if a Divine Presence.
