After returning to the Taichu Hall for a while, Qiu Qingtang noticed that Zhiyu was becoming more and more dazed, often looking up at the sky, sometimes for the better part of a day, not knowing what she was looking at.

The Saintess Zhu's Heavenly Tribulation?

But her Heavenly Tribulation was already coming to an end.

Watching the clouds?

Thinking the clouds look delicious?

But Palace Master Xiao wouldn't let her go hungry these days, neither would the clouds, so she shouldn't feel hungry.

Although Qiu Qingtang had asked several times, Zhiyu seemed not to hear at all, let alone answer, or even look at her.

It was the same with others.

Now Zhiyu seemed even more silly and dazed than before.

At this moment, Qiu Qingtang squatted in front of Zhiyu again, but no matter how she tried to be funny or tease Zhiyu, Zhiyu did not respond at all, only looking at the sky without blinking.

Watching for even longer than before.

Qiu Qingtang, making a funny face once more, regretfully gave up, sat down on the grass with a huff, muttering, "So hard."

Mu Qingyue, sheathing her sword at a distance, looked at Qiu Qingtang: "You weren't like this before, why do you like teasing Zhiyu so much now, pregnant?"

"I wish…" Qiu Qingtang lay down on the grass, patting her little belly, saying, "But there's no movement at all."

After speaking, she sighed heavily again with regret.

Nothing's wrong with my body, nor Lu Jin'an's. I even kept him locked up for so long recently, and with the influence of the Pupil Skill on Lu Jin'an, there should have been movement by now…

"You're really bold." Mu Qingyue walked up beside Qiu Qingtang: "My aunt might get mad, but she'd definitely forgive you, but Lu Yunzhu might not. Aren't you afraid of her?"

"Hey, at that time, I'd just transform back into my original form and stay in Young Master Lu's arms, how could Lu Yunzhu have a chance?" Qiu Qingtang snorted lightly: "Besides, haven't you thought of being pregnant?"

Of course, I've thought about it, and long ago too!

Mu Qingyue lightly pursed her cherry lips, considering she'd already imagined playing like that with her Junior Brother, resisting a bit, to surely further stir Junior Brother's desires.

After all, Junior Brother would always look at the watermelon belly for a long time, so he must enjoy playing like that.

Seeing Mu Qingyue unresponsive, Qiu Qingtang just rolled over without much thought: "Could it be because I haven't become an Emperor?"

"For your Demon Clan, entering that period, the influence of cultivation efficiency is quite small, right?"

"A huge difference wouldn't be possible either." The more Qiu Qingtang spoke, the more reasonable it seemed: "Young Master Lu is a matchless genius, and now an Immortal, while I'm stuck at the Realm of Fox Emperor, so my Yin Yuan can't merge at all?"

Listening to her implicit description, Mu Qingyue said blandly, "So you should start cultivating."

"Alright, then I won't play with Zhiyu anymore."

Qiu Qingtang looked at Zhiyu regretfully: "Initially, I even wanted to play with the kid for a while, maybe it'll affect fetal movement."

"..."

Mu Qingyue, used to Qiu Qingtang's master-level cheekiness, was speechless for the first time at her words.

No wonder she's been sticking with Zhiyu recently, harboring such intentions.

"Does she count as a kid?"

"She looks like one, doesn't she count?"

"Counts as a ghost!" Mu Qingyue looked away from Qiu Qingtang.

If Zhiyu could be considered a child, then what's the point of cultivation and longevity?

This cheeky fox really lets her imagination run wild… besides cheekiness, her other fantasies are just exasperating.

Getting up from the grass, Qiu Qingtang giggled: "I'm going to cultivate, bye-bye~"

"Bye-bye~"

Zhiyu's sudden response and wave made Qiu Qingtang look over immediately: "Wow, you finally spoke up."

Zhiyu tilted her head, looking at her: "Master, when will you be back?"

"I don't know."

"Oh..." Zhiyu's small face showed disappointment, then she ran alone outside the Taichu Hall, crouching on the topmost step, looking down the mountain without a blink.

"What's she doing…"

"She must have something important to tell Junior Brother, right?"

Mu Qingyue said, taking out the Communication Compass to send a message to Lu Jin'an.

Qiu Qingtang glanced, growing curious about what Lu Jin'an had been doing in the Spirit Clan during this time… surely he isn't looking for a way to break my Pupil Skill, right?

As this thought surfaced in her mind, Qiu Qingtang noticeably felt her heartbeat quicken.

But she had already confessed everything to him, what's he still worried about?

In the silence, Mu Qingyue suddenly looked up to the sky, Zhiyu also began bouncing around, waving and calling out sweetly, "Master."

Qiu Qingtang looked up, and saw a Flying Boat tearing through the void, Lu Jin'an leapt straight down, Zhiyu immediately dashed into Lu Jin'an's arms: "Master, Zhiyu wants to go back to the Dragon Clan."

Looking at Zhiyu's pair of serious, heterochromatic eyes, Lu Jin'an was a bit surprised. Although Aunt Ruo had already mentioned this, the serious demeanor Zhiyu displayed was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He picked Zhiyu up, but didn't respond immediately, instead looking at Senior Sister and Qiu Qingtang: "Has Jun Bingquan still been coming around lately?"

Mu Qingyue shook her head, but Qiu Qingtang said, "Zhiyu's been even more dazed lately, always watching the sky, no one knows what she's looking at."

Hearing this, Lu Jin'an looked down at Zhiyu in his arms: "You're looking at the Candle Dragon, right?"

Zhiyu's heterochromatic eyes widened instantly: "Master, how did you know? Master, you're so clever… Zhiyu didn't say anything at all."

Lu Jin'an smiled, then said to Senior Sister and Qiu Qingtang, "I'll go to Taiyi Peak first," and with that, took Zhiyu directly to Taiyi Peak.
