Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

"I wonder which family's genius it is."

"I don't know..." Lu Jin'an turned his head and said, "It shouldn't be from the Five Sects and Seven Schools. I've never heard of anyone like this for such a long time..."

As he spoke, his voice paused, and suddenly, with a sense of intuition, he looked toward the window again.

A soft halo seemed to float in through the window crack, gently brushing his cheeks and lips like a soft breeze before disappearing.

Lu Jin'an instantly stood still, familiar fragrance rushing into his nostrils, childhood memories flooding back into his mind.

Traces of his older sister were everywhere... and they couldn't be erased.

"Sister..."

Lu Jin'an's expression shifted for a moment. There was no mistake; this was definitely his sister, Lu Yunzhu, who had ascended to immortality.

But thinking of this made him feel a little terrified.

He for one had been suppressing his cultivation at the Tongsheng Realm for over a year, so reaching Harmonization at the age of twenty was considered slow, yet he still felt confident in completing the Tribulation Crossing Realm and ascending to immortality within two years.

And sister Lu Yunzhu had already reached the peak of the Tongsheng a decade ago. As a result, she only entered Divine Presence at twenty-nine...

How could this align with the talent of his sister?

So the truth could only be one: she was intentionally suppressing her cultivation realm.

During his journey toward the Tribulation Crossing Realm, she directly achieved Divine Presence to Immortal!

Lu Jin'an felt that his thoughts were a little absurd, yet his intuition told him that this was the truth.

How could his sister understand everything about him so clearly?

Lu Jin'an closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his rapidly beating heart slowly returned to a normal pace.

No problem, it's fine, as long as she doesn't come looking for him now.

That halo earlier was definitely a 'warning' from his sister.

With his eyes lowered, he relaxed his hands, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was slightly twisted.

Sister still had the leisure to remind him that she had already become an Immortal, huh...

Hopefully, this composure from his sister won't backfire against her when facing him.

'I'm no longer the kid I was ten years ago either...'

Lu Jin'an thought silently, then heard a "splash" as Pei Wanyu stood up from the bath barrel and turned to hug him tightly, enveloping him in warmth.

"Jin'an, as your Master, I can't fully understand your feelings, nor do I know if I can help, but when the boat gets to the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. You don't need to worry." Pei Wanyu rested her chin on Lu Jin'an's head, gently stroking his nape: "With me here, it will surely go smoothly."

With his face tucked in his Master's gentle embrace, Lu Jin'an raised his head to look at his Master's tender face and softly replied "Mm," while his hand reached up to caress his Master's side profile.

Pei Wanyu's eyes flickered, and she cupped his chin, leaning in to kiss Lu Jin'an's lips.

With a simple tug, she easily pulled Lu Jin'an into the bath barrel with her.

Splash——

The rising water overflowed from the edges of the bath barrel, flower petals floating onto Pei Wanyu's shoulders, arms, her snow-white voluptuous thighs slightly apart, presenting a bewitching expression on Pei Wanyu's alluring face...

On the deck of the Fire Phoenix Boat, Dongfang Xinglan squatted while stroking the Little Dog Demon's back, looking up at the suddenly changing sky.

She understood this was likely a Crossing Tribulation because powerful body cultivators within the Eastern Dynasty would face Heavenly Tribulations as they approached becoming a Martial God.

For Body Refining and Life Extension, controlling nature was inherently a process of challenging fate,

But she had never before seen such a magnificent Heavenly Tribulation.

Dongfang Xinglan remained silent, realizing that the strength outside the border was far greater than she had imagined. Why?

Books and knowledge she had absorbed since childhood surfaced in her mind. But now, this knowledge that had accompanied her until now might be false?

Perhaps not false, but rather withheld too much truth.

Dongfang Xinglan quietly exhaled, realizing that only one phrase from the books would be authentic: seeing is believing, hearing is nothing.

"Big sister." The Little Dog Demon climbed up with hands and feet, looking up at Dongfang Xinglan: "What are you thinking about?"

Standing up to gaze at the distant Heavenly Tribulation, Dongfang Xinglan's voice was calm: "What has happened has happened and is difficult to change, but I'm still young, and no matter what it is, there's a chance to start over."

The Little Dog Demon gazed at her with semi-comprehension, then heard footsteps from behind. Turning to look, it quickly ran to Dongfang Xinglan's side, hugging her leg in a bit of a timidness as Lu Jin'an stepped out of the boat cabin.

Having changed into a brand new robe, Lu Jin'an looked refreshed, although his Master who pulled him into the bath barrel soon surrendered, he upheld her dignity, enduring exhaustion while employing all methods to stimulate him.

He felt like even his burps had the scent of milk now.

Collecting his thoughts, Lu Jin'an clapped his hands in agreement with Dongfang Xinglan's words. Dongfang Xinglan turned to gaze at him: "How vast is the world?"

Lu Jin'an slightly smiled: "Seeing is believing, hearing is nothing."

Dongfang Xinglan chuckled: "You're not silly."

Lu Jin'an stepped forward to her side: "About working under you... I wasn't lying to you."

Before Dongfang Xinglan could speak, the Little Dog Demon, clinging to her leg, got close to Lu Jin'an and began sniffing, simultaneously swallowing its saliva: "Such a nice milky scent~"

Lu Jin'an's eye twitched, while Dongfang Xinglan instinctively took a sniff too, surprise flickering in her eyes: "You, a guy, like bathing in milk?"

"It's not... not milk!" Lu Jin'an protested.

Dongfang Xinglan leaned closer for another sniff: "Doesn't quite seem like milk, then what is it..."

"That's not important." Lu Jin'an interrupted her: "Let's continue discussing about working under you."

Dongfang Xinglan glanced at Lu Jin'an strangely; was his personal life really that 'exquisite'?

Lu Jin'an gazed forward, unmoved, yet couldn't help but remember his Master's playful demeanor.

Dongfang Xinglan withdrew her gaze: "With your background so significant, the Eastern Dynasty's small temple can't accommodate you."

"Aren't you curious about the truth?" Lu Jin'an slightly smiled: "I don't know about the Eastern Dynasty, and you don't know about the outside world. Aren't you curious about why?"

Dongfang Xinglan placed her hands on the railing: "Are you suggesting the issue lies within our Dynasty?"

Lu Jin'an shook his head: "Whether external or internal, it's hard to say, but there's a way to determine it."

"The Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition?"

"Yes." Lu Jin'an nodded: "Wasn't your father invited? Maybe his attitude will reveal something."

He wouldn't directly push the issue onto the Eastern Dynasty because that wouldn't help subvert Dongfang Xinglan's beliefs.

Only with personal judgment of what is seen and heard can it be real.

For this concerns not only Dongfang Xinglan but the entire Eastern Dynasty and even the other two Dynasties.

The Three Great Dynasties center around two Great Domains, governing nine medium and small domains. How many lives reside there?

Lu Jin'an doesn't wish for so many lives to suffer due to the Upper Realm's manipulation leading to internal chaos in the Lower Realm.

That would be a catastrophe.

The best way to break those beliefs is from inside, external cooperation, hence Dongfang Xinglan is an indispensable link.

Only when she makes up her mind, the path ahead will be much smoother.

"When does the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition begin?"

"The day after tomorrow."

Dongfang Xinglan nodded, extending her hand toward him: "Book."

"I don't usually carry books." Lu Jin'an chuckled: "But I know a place that has them."

"Where?"

"Hanshan Temple." Lu Jin'an looked down at the temple below, where the Library Pavilion surely had basic books documenting the state of the Yunding Continent.

They probably aren't openly displayed, though.

But it doesn't matter; if he wants them, would Hanshan Temple dare to refuse?

"Let's go now."

"Alright."

"May I ask a question?" Dongfang Xinglan glanced at the boat cabin: "How strong is your Master?"

"You'll know when you see." Lu Jin'an leaped off the Flying Boat.

Dongfang Xinglan followed closely: "Stronger than the person from before?"

"Of course."

Lu Jin'an said without hesitation, knowing his Master's maid, was the second strongest in the Wandao Sect.

Dongfang Xinglan paused for a moment, wondering if that meant she was stronger than the Emperor Tedi in the Divine Temple?

"I really want to see what kind of woman she is."

"Heard from the Dog Demon that my Master is a woman?"

"Mm."

Lu Jin'an nodded: "Meet her tonight; she's a bit tired now."

"Tired?" Dongfang Xinglan looked at Lu Jin'an quizzically; could such a strong person truly feel tired?

"Yes." Lu Jin'an didn't elaborate: "Put on the cloak."

"Oh."

Dongfang Xinglan glanced back at the massive Flying Boat, pondering why someone would get tired?
