"That's right." Zhu Nanzhi agreed: "Husband is the best... Can fight off the bed, can fight on the bed..."

As she spoke, she emitted a lovestruck laugh.

Watching Zhu Nanzhi, who was lost in her own world again, Mu Qingyue silently smiled, gently holding the Immortal Sword Chaomu across her lap.

'Junior Brother's sword dao, my sword dao...'

Recalling what Lu Yunzhu said at the time, Mu Qingyue's eyelids drooped slightly, still thinking Lu Yunzhu's words were nonsense, but why did it relate to Junior Brother's sword dao?

Even if, as Lu Yunzhu said, Junior Brother indeed had a talent for sword dao, this kind of unseen, untouchable 'talent' isn't enough to wield reproductive power, how could it be extracted?

Even if it could be extracted, among so many talents, how can it be accurately extracted?

Huang Ningshang and Junior Brother were separated by thousands of years, and the Black Phoenix... still needs to be nurtured in the eggshell for a long time.

"Ridiculous..."

Mu Qingyue snorted lightly, suddenly raised her head: "Junior Brother is back..."

Whoosh!

The scent by the side swirled up, and Zhu Nanzhi disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Outside Taichu Hall.

Not yet having stepped across the threshold, Lu Jin'an immediately saw Zhu Nanzhi arrive with joy.

The little lady hurriedly slipped on the long-sleeved gauze shirt, with eyes as blue as the sky, filled with thoughts of her husband.

Lu Jin'an paused momentarily, feeling as if the world around him brightened with Zhu Nanzhi's arrival.

His gaze softened involuntarily, quickly stepping forward and opening his arms.

"Husband~"

Zhu Nanzhi directly threw herself into his arms, her deep green hair cascading mid-air like drifting clouds in the sky.

A fragrant breeze assaulted his senses.

Lu Jin'an wrapped his arms around her slender waist, spinning her around a few times. He gazed at her with a smiling expression: "When did you come over?"

Zhu Nanzhi tiptoed and snuggled into his embrace, greedily holding him for a long while before replying, "I came over seven days ago, but unfortunately husband wasn't here. I even went to Yun Meng Cliff to look for you, but didn't find..."

Saying this, Zhu Nanzhi looked back at Qiu Qingtang who came along: "Where did husband and Qingtang go?"

"The Demon World."

"Oh..." Zhu Nanzhi hugged him tighter: "Husband didn't tell me."

"If I told you, you'd definitely follow. There's no need for you to take such risks."

As Lu Jin'an spoke, he gently stroked her back, feeling that the little lady in his arms had developed further, the tender touch against his chest felt even stronger than before.

Even without looking, he could feel it ready to burst forth.

Listening to Lu Jin'an's words, Zhu Nanzhi felt blissful; husband truly cared more about her~

She smiled happier, but Qiu Qingtang, standing at the door, clearly felt a chill from Zhu Nanzhi's sky-blue eyes.

Standing in place, Qiu Qingtang nodded with a smile, feeling a bit envious inside.

Although her relationship with Lu Jin'an had a layer of 'kindred spirit,' it was more of cooperation, unlike Lu Jin'an and Zhu Nanzhi...

Their affection was so good, so natural, so... harmonious.

Wondering about the future... Will she be like this too?

"Husband, working hard in the Demon World..."

Zhu Nanzhi at this moment released Lu Jin'an, gracefully walked to Qiu Qingtang and offered a salute: "Husband has never been to the Demon World, it's unfamiliar, thank you for taking care of him during this time..."

She spoke gently, Qiu Qingtang didn't really listen, having felt the chill in Zhu Nanzhi's eyes earlier.

Qiu Qingtang could imagine Zhu Nanzhi would definitely question her later, and if she couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, this Saintess, who appeared pure and sweet on the outside, would most likely draw her sword and chase her...

"It's nothing." Qiu Qingtang smiled slightly: "The main purpose of going to the Demon World wasn't to slay demons, so there's no need for the Saintess Zhu to be so polite."

Zhu Nanzhi nodded, her tone turning cold: "Then... what's your purpose of seducing our husband?"

Qiu Qingtang froze for a moment, not expecting Zhu Nanzhi to make it clear in front of Lu Jin'an.

She was about to speak, but Lu Jin'an walked over and held Zhu Nanzhi's hand: "It's not her fault, she's just like you now."

"Family?" Zhu Nanzhi blinked her eyes.

"Yes." Lu Jin'an looked at Zhu Nanzhi candidly, knowing he had to handle this issue himself, being the one who understood their personalities the most.

Without him at the center, aside from Master and Aunt Ruo, others could regard each other as strangers.

For Zhu Nanzhi now... being honest is the best approach.

Zhu Nanzhi continued to press: "So what's the deal with those other fox spirits? Handmaidens?"

Qiu Qingtang replied with a smile: "Yes, in the future won't the Lu family... require maids?"

Zhu Nanzhi thought for a moment, not denying it.

With husband taking care of himself, Aunt Pei and others need not worry...

But twenty-four fox spirits... isn't it too many?

She had Han Wu, Master didn't have maids, Aunt Pei had the four Little Monsters of spring, summer, autumn, and winter... together they barely surpassed Qiu Qingtang's fox spirits.

Plus, the fox's nature is cunning, who knows what they might do in secret?

"I have my plans." Lu Jin'an squeezed Zhu Nanzhi's palm, then bent down to whisper in her ear.

Zhu Nanzhi listened quietly, and as soon as husband finished speaking, she took out the Immortal Sword Zhanming, her gaze icy cold on Qiu Qingtang.

Qiu Qingtang paused, then realized this was another added part of their plan...

But fundamentally, it was likely Lu Jin'an wanted Zhu Nanzhi to let off some steam...

Thinking this, her gaze turned somewhat sorrowful: "Young Master Lu, you're too partial~"

Lu Jin'an smiled slightly: "Just sparring."

Qiu Qingtang wanted to say more, but Zhu Nanzhi had already acted.

Facing a peer expert of the Nine Tribulations realm, Qiu Qingtang dared not be careless, moreover... Zhu Nanzhi showed no mercy at all.

Above Taichu Peak, spiritual energy and demon energy fluctuated.

Lu Jin'an watched the scene with a smile, not worried about whether their clothes would be damaged, since Taichu Peak had Master's barrier.

As long as outside knew Saintess Zhu and fox spirits indeed fought, that was enough.

"Junior Brother."

Lu Jin'an watched quietly, then felt a familiar chill beside him, turned his head, and directly reached to embrace Mu Qingyue; in this season, embracing the cool Senior Sister was now a comforting thing.

"Why did you come back so late?" he asked softly.

Mu Qingyue stared at him in silence for a moment, thinking how nice it would be if Junior Brother's tone was heavier, with some reproach?

"Returned with Nanzhi and Aunt Ruo." Mu Qingyue said: "But that's not the important part, the important part is Lu Yunzhu was also here, the important part is...

Do you know what Lu Yunzhu said?"

Lu Jin'an pretended not to understand: "What?"

"She said you and Huang Ningshang..." Mu Qingyue paused: "Have you heard her say that?"

"She's crazy." Lu Jin'an said helplessly: "Even if she is an elder sister..."

Interruption, Mu Qingyue cut him off: "Junior Brother, the second 'she' I mentioned refers to Huang Ningshang, not Lu Yunzhu."

Lu Jin'an looked into Mu Qingyue's ruby-like eyes, suddenly chuckling: "Senior Sister, you've learned bad habits."

"Mad?"

"How could I be?"

"Hmm..." Mu Qingyue felt slightly disappointed, then asked: "What's your opinion?"

"You are one of my Daoist companions." Lu Jin'an said lightly: "The rest is nonsense!"

"I'll listen to Junior Brother."

Mu Qingyue said subserviently, her favorite was hearing Junior Brother's assertive tone.

"Hmm..." Lu Jin'an nodded: "So, let me see how much your sword dao has improved, shall we?"

Mu Qingyue responded with a "Hmm," feeling that after not accompanying Junior Brother for a long time, his mindset had eased considerably.

'Shall we?'

Couldn't directly command or the lack of these negative options?

She stared deeply at Lu Jin'an, thinking Junior Brother needed a thorough 'education' again.

With that, she wielded her sword and joined the battle against the fox spirits.

"Young Master Lu, you're truly too partial..."

Qiu Qingtang's aggrieved voice sounded.

"Don't worry, there will be foxes helping you."

Taichu Peak's barrier extended toward Yun Meng Cliff's direction, until...

Yun Meng Cliff was completely wrecked.
