Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 861 - 367: "Master Feels So Warm~

"Don't let the lanterns cause a fire, got it?"

"I understand, Sir!"

The sound of footsteps disappeared into the alley, and Lu Jin'an gave a playful glance in that direction.

Just as the thief's exaggerated nod earlier suggested, there seems to be a hidden story there.

Indeed, using dark justice to boost one's reputation is a straightforward yet crude method.

But whether this strategy is secretly orchestrated by Dongfang Xinglan or devised by his loyal subordinates remains unknown.

If it were the former...

Lu Jin'an would be very intrigued.

While pondering, Zhiyu walked over and grabbed his hand: "Master, the lanterns have flown really, really far."

"It seems even the heavens think Zhiyu is cute, so the wish is bound to come true."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Then, does that mean Zhiyu's wish has already come true?"

"Hmm?"

"Because Master always accompanies Zhiyu." Zhiyu looked up at him: "Master is so nice to Zhiyu, never minding Zhiyu and teaching me lots and lots of things...

Anyway, anyway, Master must always stay with Zhiyu!"

"Absolutely no problem!" Lu Jin'an picked up Zhiyu and jumped off the rooftop: "Shall we continue strolling?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhiyu nodded, then asked: "Why doesn't Master ever find Zhiyu annoying?"

"Because I hope Zhiyu can be even happier than before."

Zhiyu tilted her head at him: "No compliments of Zhiyu being cute anymore?"

"More than being cute, I wish for you to be happier." Lu Jin'an said softly: "And by becoming stronger, you'll find more happiness."

"Why?"

"Learning to step on the Meihua Pile—isn't it just as joyful as eating something delicious?"

"Yes, yes."

"Eating delicious food is delightful, and adding even more joyous moments—isn't that even more wonderful?"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's my wish."

Zhiyu gazed at Lu Jin'an with a somewhat understanding look, unable to figure it out, but nonetheless enjoying listening to her Master's pleasant words, which made Zhiyu feel very happy.

She tilted her head and leaned against Lu Jin'an's temple, watching the fireworks light up in the night sky, and softly called out: "Master."

"Hmm?"

"Zhiyu wants to go out and play with Master again."

"Alright."

Lu Jin'an softly agreed: "Let's go have a feast."

"Yes, yes."

Sitting on Lu Jin'an's bent arm, Zhiyu looked around eagerly, her little body twisting about, full of fascination and love for the bustling sights.

"Do you want anything else? Want to go look around yourself?"

"No!" Zhiyu clung to Lu Jin'an's neck: "Zhiyu wants Master to hold me now!"

"A big girl still wants to be carried?" Lu Jin'an teased with a smile: "Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Humph, I just want to be held!"

Zhiyu clutched his neck tighter, her little arms exerting great strength. Before long, Lu Jin'an quickly patted her small arms: "Relax a bit, I'm starting to lose breath."

"Master is so weak." Zhiyu giggled.

"Wanna play with the pinwheel?"

"No." Zhiyu shook her head, then fell silent for a bit, seeming unsure of what she saw, curiously asking: "Master, Master, why is that older sister getting so close to the little child's face?"

"That's a kiss."

"Kiss?"

"Has your grandmother, Cang Qinglong Saint, ever kissed you?"

"No." Zhiyu shook her head: "Why do people kiss then?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Because they like each other."

"Like?"

"It's like how you feel when you're eating something delicious."

Zhiyu suddenly realized: "That older sister wants to eat the little child!"

Lu Jin'an gave her a bemused look, and before he could continue explaining, Zhiyu leaned over to plant a kiss on his temple with a giggle: "Zhiyu likes Master, because Zhiyu wants to eat Master!"

Saying this, she looked at Lu Jin'an's head and swallowed.

Lu Jin'an was taken aback, thinking this little girl had long abandoned the thought of drooling over him—instead, she'd probably just forgotten.

He smiled helplessly, choosing not to explain further, deciding to let Qiu Qingtang guide Zhiyu once they returned to the sect.

With that in mind, Lu Jin'an took Zhiyu to find a tavern, feasted, and then returned to the inn just before midnight.

After checking on Iron Hoof Cloud in the backyard stables, Lu Jin'an brought Zhiyu back to their room.

Since he paid for the room, he figured they should at least stay, even if not tired, to avoid wasting money.

Besides, Zhiyu seemed rather dazed.

After all, constant cultivation takes a toll, and tonight had been full of fun.

And... the barrier covering the Eastern Dynasty was indeed quite strong; at least the Wandao Sect doesn't have such powerful array barriers.

"Master..." Rubbing her eyes, Zhiyu walked to the bed, tapped the mattress, and turned to look at Lu Jin'an: "It's not soft, Zhiyu doesn't like it!"

Lu Jin'an removed his mask and placed it on the table before retrieving a soft mat from the storage space and changing to new bedsheets.

While others keep Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in their storage space, his contained many everyday items.

"Soft now!"

Zhiyu patted the mattress again, satisfied, then was about to climb into bed when she recalled something, turning to Lu Jin'an: "Master, undress!"

"Just sleep directly."

"No!" Zhiyu shook her head: "Grandmother said."

Lu Jin'an raised an eyebrow, surprised that the Dragon Clan cared about such minor details.

Though he found it intriguing, he proceeded to help Zhiyu undress, as she was wearing her vestment robe, meant to prevent her from transforming sizes indiscriminately.

Even though the vestment robe lost its effects in the Eastern Dynasty, its material wouldn't burst when Zhiyu transformed into a mature form—it would just be snug.

Thankfully, he'd brought plenty of clothes for Zhiyu when they left.

Soon, he had Zhiyu down to just a little belly cloth and underpants: "Go to sleep now."

Zhiyu looked down at herself: "Master, there's more!"

Preferring to sleep naked?
