Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

"Which one do you choose?"

Lu Jin'an shook his head: "It's better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. If those bald donkeys turn this trapped array into a killing array, it will be even harder to leave. I don't want to be a burden to you."

Xiao Yinruo smiled faintly: "No matter what, I will ensure your safety and get you out of here."

Lu Jin'an looked at her back and side profile, opened his mouth but didn't speak.

After speaking, Xiao Yinruo collected her smile, thinking she had said too much again. Wasn't this just like Wanyu said, giving him hope?

But... no need to explain.

The more you explain, the more confusing it gets.

Xiao Yinruo returned to the campfire: "You should cultivate well, then rest well. Don't fall behind me tomorrow.

If you get hurt, I cannot explain to Wanyu."

Lu Jin'an retorted: "Master is not like that."

"I'm just saying..." Xiao Yinruo closed her eyes: "You go ahead and cultivate while keeping watch."

"Hmm?"

"I'm adjusting my breath."

Xiao Yinruo formed a sealing gesture with her hands, restoring the spiritual power she had lost.

Lu Jin'an looked at her slightly tired eyebrows, knowing well that after entering the Qinglian Secret Realm and seeking a way to break through, bringing him here had exhausted a lot of her spiritual power as well, so he did not disturb her and continued comprehending the Death Rules.

Xiao Yinruo opened her eyes and looked at Lu Jin'an's side face, suddenly a question came to her mind.

Whether it was hugging him in Jing'an City before or saying she would protect him just now, was it really just to give him hope?

She remembered that the book mentioned the more casually you talk about a topic, the less you care about it...

Xiao Yinruo shook her head and chuckled softly, how could she start overthinking again?

Silence is probably the best way.

······

Since entering the Qinglian Secret Realm and falling into Buddha Burial Valley, Xiao Yinruo had exhausted too much mental and spiritual energy to break through, plus bringing the unconscious Lu Jin'an into this cave consumed even more of her strength.

So she spent the whole night immersed in recovery, undistracted.

She sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by spiritual power that kept her clothes clean and tidy.

Xiao Yinruo opened her eyes, and despite the lack of sunlight, she knew it was already dawn.

Suddenly, she frowned because Lu Jin'an was nowhere in sight.

Xiao Yinruo hurriedly stood up, her heart rate quickening, but after hearing the slight rustling sounds drift into her ears, she calmed down.

She turned her head towards the depths of the cave, in the darkened areas, then quickly redirected her gaze, realizing he was getting dressed...

That's right, this kid isn't stupid, how could he dare to run off in such a perilous place?

Xiao Yinruo quickly calmed down, letting out a helpless laugh, it's just like taking care of a child, isn't it?

She remembered when Nanzhi first learned to walk, knowing full well she wouldn't be in danger at Qingmiao Palace, but her heart would still clench when she was out of sight, and she would hurriedly go looking for her.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yinruo couldn't help but scold softly: "Let me know beforehand if you're going somewhere."

Lu Jin'an paused in his dressing, then responded: "I won't run off recklessly."

"I know, but you should still..." Xiao Yinruo shook her head: "Forget it... Before we leave this Secret Realm, don't disappear from my sight."

"Alright." Lu Jin'an emerged from behind: "Sorry for causing you worry."

Xiao Yinruo looked at the black clothes he'd changed into and frowned slightly: "Change to something white."

Lu Jin'an was momentarily stunned, but obediently went back to change his clothes.

Lu Jin'an quickly changed into a white robe and came out, Xiao Yinruo nodded approvingly: "There's no hiding in this Buddha Burial Valley, so wearing black has no point. The gray mist outside hasn't dispersed, and in the process of breaking the formation, if I can't place my Divine Sense on you, I can only find you by sight, so wearing white is more noticeable..."

Hearing Xiao Yinruo's words, Lu Jin'an oddly had the feeling of facing a Master telling him to change clothes.

This kind of woman's personality is good.

Lu Jin'an mused to himself as Xiao Yinruo continued: "The Water Cloud Crown is well protected, I see."

"Nanzhi gave it to me." Lu Jin'an smiled: "I must protect it well."

Xiao Yinruo shot him a look: "A heart full of deep feelings and yet so fickle, is that it?"

"They do not contradict." Lu Jin'an replied frankly: "I like them all..."

"Alright." Xiao Yinruo cut him off: "I don't want to hear your love stories."

With that said, she began walking outside, Lu Jin'an quickly picked up the Buddha Beads and followed her steps.

Outside, the gray mist and black rain caused by the Dead Tide still persisted, but since the Dead Tide had lessened significantly compared to last night, there was no longer that oppressive feeling as if a city was about to be crushed by a dark cloud.

Xiao Yinruo opened an umbrella, and with just a glance at it, Lu Jin'an could sense it was an Immortal Artifact from the aura it emitted.

With the Immortal Artifact, the consumption of spiritual power can indeed be minimized because the umbrella Xiao Yinruo produced possessed sentience.

Like a Water Elf casting a layer of light screen, protecting the two while even extracting water attribute spiritual energy from the black rain.

"Just stand by my side." Xiao Yinruo reminded again: "Don't run around, don't look around. If you sense anything bad, just tug my sleeve...

On second thought, just hold onto my sleeve now."

Xiao Yinruo corrected herself, after all, in places like the Divine Concealing Realm where dangers abound, it wouldn't be good if Jin'an couldn't react in time to tug her sleeve.

Holding onto it all the time would alert her immediately if he let go.

Lu Jin'an obediently pinched the corner of her sleeve, although he was half a step behind Xiao Yinruo, he could still catch the faint elegant fragrance emanating from her.
