Chapter 1177: Chapter 494: Sect Master Lu in Qingyi Palace...

The gentle, faint sound of the hot spring ripples subtly through Qingyi Palace, as if there are several mermaids stirring their graceful bodies in the large pool.

In the background, there’s the faint sound of a harmonious melody...

Qingyi Palace is vast, with steam swirling from the outer hall to the inner chambers, accentuated by screens painted with landscapes, particularly the screen depicting "Qiu Qingtang’s Flight" right in front of the inner hot spring pool, shrouded in a faint, mysterious allure.

The embroidery on the screen is a depiction of Qiu Qingtang’s exotic appearance during her miraculous descent.

Beside the hot spring pool, Pei Wanyu is leaning over on a soft bed, wearing only a towel draped around her waist. Her slender, gleaming, porcelain-smooth legs, with their long, supple, and perfectly straight lines, are a sight to behold.

Beneath her shapely calves are a pair of long, delicate, round-ankled feet, with tender, translucent toes and a soft red tint at the tips. The purple rouge on her toenails adds an undeniable allure.

At this moment, her hair, simply dampened, drapes like jet-black silk over her shoulders. The superbly smooth strands hold few water droplets, appearing just slightly moist, even more radiant and shiny.

Her beauty is not only well-maintained but also naturally stunning.

Enjoying a massage from Yun Duo and Dong Han, she closes her eyes slightly, gazing at the screen, amusement flashing in her eyes.

Only a fox spirit like Qiu Qingtang would dare to display such a screen so boldly.

If it were anyone else... even herself, she would feel a little embarrassed.

After all, she is a fox spirit.

Pei Wanyu chuckled lightly, and Dong Han asked softly, "Master Pei, is this pressure okay?"

Pei Wanyu gave a soft "hmm," as the flushed-cheeked Yun Duo added quietly, "Madam, our Qiu Family has a brightening and moisturizing essential oil. Would you like to try it? It will surely keep Sect Master Lu’s eyes glued to you..."

Pei Wanyu was less interested in the latter part of her sentence but felt quite pleased with her address: "What did you call me?"

"Madam."

Yun Duo blinked and called out sweetly once again.

Dong Han shot a hidden glance at this cunning fox, thinking how clever she was...

But at the same time, she chastised herself for not thinking of changing the form of address earlier.

"Did Qiu Qingtang teach you that?" Pei Wanyu asked Yun Duo with interest.

Yun Duo quickly shook her head: "Saint Lu is now the Sect Master of the Wandao Sect, so it’s not appropriate to call you ’Sect Master’ anymore, and... in Yun Duo’s heart, you are ’Madam’."

Yun Duo was clear in her heart, although she was a subordinate to Qing Tang, Qing Tang couldn’t possibly fill the role of the future Madam of the Lu Family.

Only Master Pei had that qualification.

The smile in Pei Wanyu’s eyes deepened, and she teased, "Never mind about Qingyue, Nanzhi, Xing Lan, and Qing Tang, don’t you think Lu Yunzhu is also qualified?"

Yun Duo quickly said, "Miss Lu is quite assertive in her actions, but you are the most suitable."

She didn’t hesitate with this response; even if it might displease Miss Lu, trying to please both sides would make nobody happy, so she knew how to choose.

Besides... with Miss Lu’s current state, how could she have the energy to pay attention to anything else?

Thinking about this, she quickly glanced at Lu Yunzhu, who was pinned against the wall by Sect Master Lu, her legs suspended in air, showing a tormented expression under the glow of Hidden Element Star that made focusing her consciousness almost impossible, let alone caring for other matters.

Pei Wanyu chuckled softly: "You do have a way with words."

Yun Duo quickly said, "Everything I say is true..."

"Hmm..." Pei Wanyu looked at Dong Han: "Dong Han, take Yun Duo under your wing for now."

At these words, both Dong Han and Yun Duo’s faces lit up with joy.

The former understood that Master Pei valued her more, entrusting her to guide Yun Duo; the latter realized that Madam Pei wanted Dong Han to help her understand her personal habits...

"Got it." Dong Han immediately agreed, as Yun Duo grinned at Dong Han: "Please take care of me, older sister~"

"Hmph~"

"Let me try that essential oil of yours."

Pei Wanyu said lazily, "Let me see how it brightens and moisturizes."

Yun Duo quickly shared half with Dong Han, and together they massaged Pei Wanyu.

Lying on the bed, Pei Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze drifting. She first looked at Lu Yunzhu pinned against the wall by her good disciple, then at the four little girls sitting in a row not far away, and finally at the little foxes singing and dancing between the screens...

Tsk.

Previously, peeking at Yun Meng Cliff from Taichu Hall didn’t have much effect, but actually being there in person made her realize... her good disciple’s experience was indeed unparalleled at the time.

’Though I am also a woman, I do love to watch such performances...’

Coupled with these little foxes’ ability to be both elegant and vulgar, it truly is an ultimate sensory experience.

Yes, without some degree of self-control, it’s hard to resist the temptation of a fox spirit.

Pei Wanyu chuckled lightly, closed her eyes to enjoy the massage, and used her Divine Sense to search for Xiao Yinruo, wondering if this woman was stealthily hiding somewhere, doing something.

Meanwhile, on the left side of the hot spring, Zhu Nanzhi, Mu Qingyue, Dongfang Xinglan, and Qiu Qingtang, who were soaking in the hot spring and leaning against the pool edge, all displayed varied expressions.

"It’s glowing..."

"Hmm..."

Qiu Qingtang said first, and Dongfang Xinglan subconsciously responded, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

Though Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue didn’t speak, beneath the water, their long, jade-like legs couldn’t help but cross and rub against each other a few times.

Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue both assisted Lu Jin’an in cultivating the Dao Palace before, so they know how bright the glow would be under the Star Light, but...
