"I suppose so."

Zhu Tianqi flipped the table: "Cang Qing, do you not respect the Dragon Clan?!"

Cang Qinglong Saint spoke coldly: "That depends on who leads the Dragon Clan."

"So, you want to support her to rise so you can sit on the Demon Lord's throne yourself?" Zhu Tianqi sneered. "Old man, how many years do you have left to live?"

Cang Qing lifted her hand slightly, and a Dragon Saint hurriedly helped her up.

"To use Human Clan's terms, even if an emperor is a lost king, even if this lost king only ruled for a day, he is still an emperor, enjoying an emperor's treatment in life and death."

"So..." Zhu Tianqi changed his expression, putting on a smiling face: "You don't truly treat her as a granddaughter... How are our actions any different?"

"She remembers my kindness and your wrongs, so who do you think she'll support as she grows?"

"Grow up?" Zhu Tianqi mocked: "How will a fool heavily influenced by Taotie bloodline, who only knows eating and drinking, grow up?"

Hearing this, Cang Qinglong Saint frowned slightly; did Zhu Tianqi know about this too?

As she knew, Zhiyu mostly stayed by Lu Jin'an's side and hardly interacted with outsiders, so others shouldn't be able to tell she's a silly girl at a glance...

Is there a highly ranked Demon Clan spy within the Wandao Sect?

Cang Qinglong Saint pondered, but said, "That child has already reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and it won't be long before she fully grows."

"Haha..." Zhu Tianqi laughed, full of ridicule: "Continue to let Lu Jin'an, who's enjoying a life of indulgence, teach her? Tell me... what will she become?

A Candle Dragon that stands above the world? Or a useless one lost in indulgence with that kid?"

Seeing Cang Qinglong Saint's unhappy expression, Zhu Tianqi gleefully continued: "It seems you know Lu Jin'an's nature now, do you think he would spare your precious granddaughter?

After all, you accepted even the Taotie, let alone Lu Jin'an who single-handedly pushed the Human Clan's front to the boundary of Central Domain..."

Zhu Tianqi trailed off, suddenly realizing what he was saying might not be right.

Cang Qinglong Saint glanced at him: "Indeed, with such a grandson-in-law, I could also sit on the Demon Lord's throne."

"..."

Zhu Tianqi, having shot himself in the foot, took a deep breath: "A Demon Lord above all and a Demon Lord below one... you want the former, otherwise you wouldn't set up such a scheme.

Moreover, Lu Jin'an won't be smug for long."

Cang Qinglong Saint recalled the grim scene of several Human Clans' Immortal Dynasties being toyed with and ultimately destroyed by the Fox Clan.

"Yu Yunzhou also participated?" she countered.

Zhu Tianqi did not answer but said: "Once this is done, the Demon Lord's position is yours, what do you think?"

Cang Qing's slightly cloudy eyes brightened a bit.

Zhu Tianqi chuckled: "Call Zhiyu back, the Human Clan has no reason to hold onto her... Since her doting grandmother calls, she will return even if she's foolish."

Cang Qing looked aside and said calmly: "Go call Jun Bingquan over."

"The wise man adapts to the circumstances."

Zhu Tianqi turned and left the Dragon Palace, his vast Dragon Domain shrouding the skies above Jingfeng Abyss.

"Let's go, make a trip to the Central Region. The Human Clan needs time more than I do now... how about a hundred-year non-aggression pact?"

"All decisions are up to Your Majesty, the Demon Lord."

Wandao Sect, Taichu Hall.

In the natural hot spring amidst the bamboo grove at the rear of the hall, mist rose gently.

Lu Jin'an sat on one side of the pool, arms resting on the edge, looking up at the azure sky, revealing his naturally strong and masculine muscles.

At this moment, his slightly open mouth even exuded a hint of fiery satisfaction as he breathed.

In front of him, in the pool, there was a gentle splash of water—a petite, delicate silhouette submerged in the faint steam-filled water, with dark hair gently floating up.

The moistened hair shone more brightly, spreading out like a lotus floating on the water's surface, beautiful yet carrying an unusual girlish charm.

Qiu Qingtang, who had come into Taichu Hall and followed the scent to this place, watched this scene in surprise, her rosy eyes gradually widening.

From her current angle, it wasn't hard to see what Lu Jin'an and the person swaying a Dragon Tail in the water were doing.

She instinctively covered her small mouth, her rosy eyes tinged with disbelief.

Qiu Qingtang certainly knew Lu Jin'an was a lecher, but she never imagined Lu Jin'an would go so far, truly...

She has discovered an incredible surprise~

"Young Master Lu, no wonder you didn't return to Yun Meng Cliff last night, hiding here enjoying yourself~"

Qiu Qingtang approached Lu Jin'an with smiling eyes, crouching beside him: "I originally thought you were with Master Pei, couldn't have imagined it was with Zhiyu, quite eye-opening indeed~"

Lu Jin'an tilted his head to look at her: "Got scolded by Master, why would I go last night? She was so angry, how could she let me touch her?

So, it's Zhiyu who's well-behaved and considerate."

An amused glint passed through Qiu Qingtang's eyes: "Why, a day without release makes you uneasy?"

"Yes," Lu Jin'an sighed, "it's good to have a gentle home."

"Heh~" Qiu Qingtang glanced at the diligent Zhiyu in the lake: "It's probably more than just that... You had such a good time at Yun Meng Cliff, ordinary ones can't satisfy you anymore, so you've set your sights on Zhiyu.

I wonder if my guess is right?"

Before Lu Jin'an could respond, Zhiyu poked her small head out of the water first, pouting slightly: "Zhiyu is the one who came to play with Master!"

Qiu Qingtang pursed her lips; without Lu Jin'an's teaching, this little silly girl wouldn't understand the Hehuan Dao, would she?

Thinking of this, Qiu Qingtang gave Lu Jin'an an even stranger look, right, Zhiyu is still a silly girl, yet she is being toyed with by Lu Jin'an...

Especially as Lu Jin'an seemed to have no psychological burden, this really is... unexpected.

"Master, master!"

At this moment, Zhiyu swam to the poolside, hugged Lu Jin'an's head, and in a playful tone asked: "When can Zhiyu grow bigger?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhiyu felt a hand gently stroking her tummy. She looked down, then up at Qiu Qingtang with a puzzled gaze: "Why is Zhiyu's belly being touched?"

Qiu Qingtang blinked: "Doing this will make you grow bigger."

"Hmm?" Zhiyu's expression became more confused: "Why does touching the belly make you bigger?"

"Because there's something in it," Lu Jin'an couldn't help but say while giving Qiu Qingtang a helpless glance.

This sneaky fox, as always.

"Why?" Zhiyu was increasingly puzzled, her odd-colored eyes fixed on Lu Jin'an, persistently asking.

Lu Jin'an gently patted Zhiyu's small head: "You'll understand when you grow bigger."

"Really?"

"Really."

"She still has a long way to go to truly grow bigger."

Qiu Qingtang, who couldn't resist interrupting, suddenly stammered as a shadow loomed over her. Her expression stiffened as she slowly looked up at the more than two-meter-tall Zhiyu, her rosy eyes filled with shock.

?

What happened?

No way, was what this silly girl said about "when can I grow bigger" what she meant?

No wonder Lu Jin'an didn't have any psychological burden; so, this silly girl had this form too...

"She grew bigger~"

Zhiyu exclaimed and jumped into the hot spring, splashing water several meters high, pulling Lu Jin'an into her arms, rubbing him with a playful 'curiosity': "Master, Zhiyu has grown bigger, why still not understand?"

By the shore, Qiu Qingtang, drenched by the hot spring water, stared blankly at the over two-meter-tall Zhiyu holding Lu Jin'an like a child, her rosy eyes gradually lighting up as if seeing something interesting.

"Zhiyu."

"Hmm?" Zhiyu looked down at Qiu Qingtang: "What's up?"

Qiu Qingtang's lips curved into a smile: "Do you want me, your older sister, to teach you? The way to truly grow bigger..."
