"There's one more thing," Dongfang Xinglan hurriedly spoke, "After the unification of the three dynasties, I'm planning to relocate the capital. Can you ask that Shangguan Pavilion Master to help me choose a feng shui treasure land?"

"I've noted it down."

Lu Jin'an nodded. Although there are feng shui masters within the dynasty, when it comes to the True Dragon destiny, coupled with shallow cultivation, they can't comprehend the profound mysteries despite racking their brains.

Shangguan Pavilion Master can indeed help with this matter.

"Then let's go bathe..." Dongfang Xinglan linked her arm with his, "together."

Ming Lan, who originally wanted to follow and serve, found herself stuck as neither leaving nor staying was appropriate upon hearing this.

Luckily, Dongfang Xinglan gave her another instruction, "Bring the breakfast over."

After saying that, she called out to Zhiyu again, "Zhiyu, it's time to bathe."

"Oh~"

Zhiyu ran towards Lu Jin'an, leaping to ride on his shoulders, "Master, Master, where are Master Nanzhi and Master Qingyue?"

"Let them sleep for now."

Lu Jin'an held Zhiyu's ankles, and after hearing her Master's words, Zhiyu seemed a bit lost in thought.

Will Master find time to eat vegetarian with me later?

I can't take the initiative to tell Master, otherwise, if Master realizes I've become smarter, he definitely won't pamper me like this anymore.

Zhiyu looked down, and just as Lu Jin'an lifted his head, she quickly showed an innocent smile, "Master, why haven't Master Nanzhi and Master Qingyue gotten up yet?"

"Because they are tired."

"Then why isn't Sister Xinglan tired too?"

"Because..."

"I'm your Master too," Dongfang Xinglan corrected, holding Zhiyu's little hand.

"Oh?" Zhiyu blinked her heterochromatic eyes and sweetly called, "Master Xinglan~"

"Good girl~"

"Hee hee~"

Seeing Zhiyu's adorable demeanor, Lu Jin'an swallowed back the words he originally wanted to say.

Now that Zhiyu's true identity is exposed to the public, even if this news is intentionally sealed, the Upper Realm Ancient Court of the Demon Clan will eventually know.

By then, secretly sending Zhiyu to the Azure Dragon Clan of the Wandao Sect would surely be difficult... but it doesn't matter.

With me here, as long as Zhiyu is happy, it's all good.

Entering the bathroom, the marks of last night's chaos were still visible, although the clothes had been taken away by Nanzhi.

To that little wife, the set of Hezi skirt is indeed precious.

"Master, take it off~"

Zhiyu spread her arms to be undressed, and Lu Jin'an squatted to remove her clothes, to which Dongfang Xinglan gave a glance, "Just pamper her."

"Bleh~"

Zhiyu immediately made a funny face at Dongfang Xinglan, then hugged Lu Jin'an's head with her bare torso, "Master belongs to Zhiyu too~"

Lu Jin'an smiled, ruffling Zhiyu's little head, "Yes, yes, now let me go."

"Oh~"

Zhiyu obediently released him, thinking to herself, 'Master really does like big chests; he has no reaction to the little ones, oh.'

With that, she lifted her leg for her Master to take off her underpants.

Lu Jin'an removed them unhurriedly, and then... his fingers paused.

The touch of the underpants was...

He subconsciously glanced at Zhiyu, who tilted her head and looked adorably puzzled, "Master?"

Lu Jin'an smiled, "Go soak first."

"Oh~"

Zhiyu ran excitedly into the inner room, and Lu Jin'an exhaled a light breath.

Zhiyu, who clearly understood nothing and played around all night, had listened and seen things, yet still showed an innocent expression. However... she had a normal reaction.

Was it because she had eaten vegetarian food?

Or was it merely an instinctive response?

Or could it be... she understood?

"Hey," Dongfang Xinglan patted Lu Jin'an's shoulder while standing beside him, "You've been holding onto Zhiyu's clothes for a while now. Aren't you thinking of making a move?

Even if she is a True Dragon, in her current state, she can't handle it. Or are you thinking of letting her grow bigger?"

"Hm?" Lu Jin'an looked at Dongfang Xinglan in surprise, "You know she can grow bigger?"

"Over two meters tall, quite an imposing presence, and not simple-minded either." Dongfang Xinglan, seeing his puzzled expression, recounted the events at the time of the Dragon Soul Treasure Land.

Listening to her voice, Lu Jin'an felt quite surprised. After all, Zhiyu, even when transformed into a two-meter tall big sister, still had a silly demeanor. How did she become smart after obtaining a new Candle Dragon Egg Shell fragment?

But Zhiyu now... is still silly.

Could it be that she only gets smart when she grows bigger?

As Lu Jin'an thought about this, he placed Zhiyu's clothes into the laundry basket, took off his own clothes, and walked into the inner room: "Zhiyu, come play with Master for a while."

"Yes, yes~" Zhiyu, splashing in the water, got excited upon hearing this and looked up with her innocent face, asking, "What are we playing?"

Lu Jin'an squatted down, looking at her with a grin: "We're playing... slide."

Zhiyu blinked, suddenly recalling the game she played with Master before, but now... is Master being proactive?

Earlier, she hugged Master, but Master's eyes didn't have the impulsiveness like before.

Curiosity!

Zhiyu quickly crawled out of the hot spring pool: "Master, Master, what's a slide? Zhiyu hasn't heard of it, is it fun? Is it fun?"

Just as Lu Jin'an was about to speak, Dongfang Xinglan, who understood his intentions, chuckled softly: "Beast!"

Lu Jin'an glanced at her: "You understood? Impressive."

Dongfang Xinglan rolled her eyes at him. The renowned Sword Immortal Mu Jianxian was like he practiced the Hehuan Sword Dao; all sorts of strange words could come out of her mouth, though they had only been together for less than a day. How could she not understand?

"Beast!"

She spat again: "It's inherited!"

Lu Jin'an chuckled: "You call me a beast, which I don't quite agree with, but if you say that about my Master, it's much more fitting."

Dongfang Xinglan was speechless for a moment: "Is this how you evaluate your Master?"

"Because she truly is a beast." Lu Jin'an chuckled: "Her true form is the Black Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan."

Dongfang Xinglan opened her mouth and then fell into thought. Could it be that his Master turning disciples into husbands has some part of 'being a beast' in it?

As she thought, Zhiyu asked again with a clear voice: "Master, Master, you haven't answered Zhiyu yet."

Lu Jin'an was about to speak again when Dongfang Xinglan interrupted: "Zhiyu, the slide isn't ready yet. Wait for your Master Qingyue to help prepare it for you, alright?"

Zhiyu looked at her strangely: "Why does Master Qingyue have to help?"

"You'll understand soon enough."

As her voice fell, Dongfang Xinglan had already pushed Lu Jin'an into the hot spring pool, following him in, her thick, long hair spreading like a Black Lotus on the water surface.

Lu Jin'an sat at the pool's edge watching her movements, teasing: "Weren't you tired?"

"Who said you were leaving."

Dongfang Xinglan replied, then dove underwater.

Her tall, slender body stretched in the water, reaching out hands while lightly opening her cherry lips.

Zhiyu squatted by the pool, watching curiously, while Lu Jin'an subtly observed Zhiyu.

He indeed wanted to know if Zhiyu had become smarter.

If she had become smarter, he might really want Zhiyu to sit on the throne of the Demon Clan's Ancient Court Master.

"Master, Zhiyu understands!"

At this moment, Zhiyu suddenly exclaimed with joy, clapping her little hands and looking at Lu Jin'an: "Master, it's the same as before, right?"

Lu Jin'an's expression paused, then he reached out and pinched her little face: "So clever."

Can't tell.

If Zhiyu really didn't understand, then she must be pretending, but her ability to say that... lowers the likelihood of pretending.

More tests are needed.

"Master, Master, can Zhiyu play now?"

As Zhiyu asked, she happily jumped back into the pool, but Dongfang Xinglan raised her hand to intercept the little girl: "Breakfast is being delivered soon, Zhiyu, you should go eat first; Master Qingyue will let you play afterward."

Zhiyu certainly didn't like that, but upon hearing the words "breakfast," she knew what she should do.

So she quickly ran towards the outer hall, cheering: "Time to eat~"

Lu Jin'an helplessly smiled, Dongfang Xinglan pinched his arm: "We'll talk when I'm tired and out of energy to take care of it. Otherwise, it always seems strange to me... unless you could make Zhiyu turn into a tall big sister over two meters high."

"You don't understand."

"Beast!"

Dongfang Xinglan spat again, then supported herself on the pool edge, sitting in his embrace: "The dignified Wandao Sect Saint, how do you act like an Evil Cultivator?"

Lu Jin'an's breathing tightened, then he slowly said: "I'm no Evil Cultivator, but..."

"But, what?"

"But I just like Zhiyu being a little... never mind."
