Mu Yunxue Loses Her Composure

The atmosphere in the corridor became somewhat quiet for a moment.

The light from the lamp cast a soft, warm glow on the white jade steps and the dark velvet carpet.

The occasional roars of Demon Beasts drifted in from afar outside the window, but after passing through the protective array of the flying boat, they became extremely faint, as if separated by another world.

Even Lu Yang didn't expect Lu Qingtong to say such a thing.

But... well done, Qingtong!

Lu Yang silently gave Lu Qingtong a big thumbs up in his heart.

He glanced at Lu Qingtong's innocent, wide blue eyes, completely unaware of what she had said, and then at Mu Yunxue's cold, clearly troubled eyes.

He suppressed a laugh, innocently patted Lu Qingtong's head, and chuckled, "Qingtong, don't talk nonsense. This is my senior sister, Mu Yunxue. She's not the young master's wife yet."

Lu Qingtong nodded her head, seemingly understanding, her long golden hair swaying gently. "Oh."

Mu Yunxue's cold and beautiful face showed no superfluous expression, and her deep, pool-like eyes quietly glanced at Lu Yang.

Not yet...

Her voice was as usual, so calm that no emotion could be discerned. "Junior Brother Lu, I am devoted to the Dao and have no interest in romantic relationships. I hope you won't waste your feelings on me."

Lu Yang glanced silently at the "Beauty" section on the panel.

Mu Yunxue (Favorability: 68)

Just now, it was 65 points.

He nodded earnestly, his tone serious and sincere, "How can you say that my feelings for my senior sister are a waste? To me, these feelings are quite precious and well worth it."

Mu Yunxue: "..."

Favorability 68 → Favorability 69.

Her pretty face remained calm and undisturbed. She subtly shifted her gaze from Lu Yang's face, avoiding eye contact, and looked at Lu Yang Lu Qingtong, who was on Lu Yang's back.

Her voice was cool as she inquired, "This little sister... is she also Junior Brother Lu's lover?"

Lu Yang: "?"

His face darkened, and he said speechlessly, "Senior Sister Mu... in your heart, have I become this kind of person? How old is Qingtong? I admit I'm a bit lecherous, but that doesn't mean I'd lay a hand on a little girl like Qingtong!"

Mu Yunxue Lu Yang's aggrieved and frustrated expression, Mu Yunxue's cherry lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

She said softly, "Is that so? It seems that Junior Brother Lu still has some principles left?"

Lu Yang nodded, quite proudly saying, "Of course, if the recipient is Senior Sister Mu, then I'd be more than happy to accept."

Mu Yunxue couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Yang.

The usually aloof Mu Yunxue made such an expression, which made her seem much more lively.

However, her movements were very subtle, and in less than a breath, she regained her aloof and indifferent demeanor.

She didn't continue the conversation, but looked at Lu Qingtong and asked, "Then who is she?"

Lu Qingtong, who had been quietly perched on Lu Yang's back, raised a small hand and said in a clear, childish voice with a hint of pride, "I am the young master's pet!"

Mu Yunxue: "?"

Her eyes, which were like deep pools, seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

She slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Lu Yang, her voice colder than usual. "So that's how it is... not a confidante, but a pet? No wonder you're Junior Brother Lu."

Lu Yang: "????"

He was dumbfounded.

Although it is a pet...

But he felt that Senior Sister Mu seemed to have completely misunderstood!

Why does it feel like in Senior Sister Mu's eyes I'm practically a pervert?

He coughed lightly and said, "Senior Sister Mu, Qingtong is my spirit beast pet. It's not any of those messy relationships you're thinking of."

Mu Yunxue was visibly taken aback, a faint hint of unease appearing on her face.

Looking at her expression, Lu Yang's eyes flashed with a half-smile, "It seems Senior Sister Mu... knows a bit about this? Have you seen similar situations before?"

Mu Yunxue's fair and aloof face remained as indifferent as ever, but a faint blush of pink was visibly rising on her earlobes hidden among her dark hair.

Mu Tian's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

She usually kept to herself, either cultivating or seeking enlightenment, but Mu Tian was clearly not like that.

She's curious about everything, sometimes too curious.

The matter of pets was something Mu Tian mentioned casually during a chat with her one time.

Mu Yunxue was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, and her memory was naturally superb.

Even though Mu Tian only mentioned it once, Mu Yunxue still remembered it clearly.

Now, being teased like this to her face by Junior Brother Lu, even the aloof Mu Yunxue was a little vulnerable.

That girl Mu Tian... she doesn't focus on her cultivation at all, she just reads useless things!

When we get back, we must assign her demanding training tasks!

Look at her, she still has the mind to know all this nonsense!

Ignoring Lu Yang's teasing gaze, she raised her usually calm voice slightly, a hint of exaggeration in her tone. "A spirit beast pet? I've never seen one before. Junior Brother Lu has always kept it on the flying boat?"

Seeing Mu Yunxue's abrupt change of topic, Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle.

Mu Yunxue glanced at Lu Yang with a lingering look, her cherry lips slightly pursed.

Seeing that things were going well, Lu Yang stopped teasing Mu Yunxue.

To avoid going too far with the teasing and causing Senior Sister Mu to explode.

Lu Yang suppressed his smile, his tone returning to seriousness as he explained, "Senior Sister Mu, you've met Qingtong before."

Mu Yunxue was taken aback and looked at Lu Qingtong again with some surprise.

Her gaze swept over Lu Qingtong's blue eyes, her long, smooth golden hair, and the feather robe she wore that subtly shimmered with golden Dao patterns.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

A guess came to mind.

This conjecture was so frightening that Mu Yunxue's eyes, which had just regained their composure, were once again filled with intense turmoil.

She slowly shifted her gaze back to Lu Yang, a slight fluctuation appearing in her usually cold voice. "Junior Brother Lu... could it be that... Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng from yesterday?"

Lu Yang chuckled, "As expected of Senior Sister Mu, you're incredibly clever; you guessed it so quickly."

It must be said that this Senior Sister Mu truly deserves to be called a genius that the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect might not produce even once in hundreds of years.

They guessed Lu Qingtong's identity so quickly.

Upon receiving Lu Yang's confirmation, Mu Yunxue's eyes flickered violently. An expression of disbelief appeared on her usually expressionless face. "Yesterday she was just an egg with barely any life force, and today she's already hatched... no, Demon Beast capable of taking human form, she must be at the Nascent Soul Realm, right? In just one night, Junior Brother Lu has actually nurtured a beast egg that was difficult to hatch to this extent?!"

Her usually cool and indifferent expression now held a hint of complexity as she softly asked, "... Junior Brother Lu, you wouldn't really be an immortal, would you?"

Lu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed instantly. His eyes became deep and distant, and his aura became even more ethereal and otherworldly, truly giving him the air of a banished immortal descending to earth.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering gently in the corridor breeze. Looking at Mu Yunxue, his voice was low and earnest. "Senior Sister Mu, even if I were truly an immortal, I would still be moved by mortal desires at this moment."

A sense of smugness rose within him.

With her charm and that look that even a dog would find captivating, wouldn't she easily crush that little ice cube?

A faint blush appeared on Mu Yunxue's pretty face.

However, it was only for a moment. Suddenly, she thought of something, and the barely perceptible blush quickly faded. Her expression returned to calm, and she said indifferently, "Junior Brother Lu has had quite a few moments of worldly desire. Was it Lin Ying, Jiang Shiqing, or Qin Nanyue?"

Lu Yang's composure crumbled instantly.

He said irritably, "Senior Sister Mu, sometimes being a little slow is a good thing, isn't it?"

Mu Yunxue's voice remained cold and clear, but a faint smile seemed to flicker in her eyes, "If Junior Brother Lu is truly an immortal, he's probably a lecherous immortal too."

Lu Yang: "???"

He felt his dignity had been severely insulted, and immediately said with a pained expression, "Senior Sister Mu's prejudice against me is far too great! I, Lu, am lustful but not lewd; I am clearly a gentleman."

Mu Yunxue stared intently at Lu Yang and asked softly, "Really?"

Lu Yang said earnestly, his words ringing out. "More real than real gold!"

Just kidding, dual cultivation is a legitimate practice, not for that kind of thing!

Lu Yang felt he was cultivating very diligently every day!

Lin Ying and Shiqing can both testify!

He, Lu, is clearly a single-minded cultivation fanatic!

Mu Yunxue did not dwell on this topic.

She turned her head, gazing into the distance through the glass windows of the corridor. The morning light fell on her jade-like profile, casting a soft halo.

The sea of clouds outside the window has gradually thinned, revealing the outline of a vast, undulating mountain range.

She said calmly, "We're almost at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain."

Lu Yang followed her gaze and glanced at the mountain range. The mountain range was filled with Yao Qi, and the gray-white spiritual mist surged and flowed among the mountains, intertwining with the morning light to create a vast and magnificent picture.

He nodded. "Yes, let's go, let's settle Ding Ran's karma. After all, Ding Ran brought Qingtong to me."

Lu Qingtong lay on Lu Yang's back, her blue eyes curiously observing the distant mountain range shrouded in Yao Qi.

Her young face was filled with childlike excitement. "Young Master, Young Master! I feel like some of the old men and women there are quite strong, though not as strong as me!"

Lu Yang chuckled, "They should be a few Nascent Soul spirit beasts from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. You might see them later."

Lu Qingtong nodded vigorously, her long golden hair shimmering in the morning light. "I want to see him!"

Strictly speaking, Lu Qingtong has been alive for less than a day since she hatched.

She had never seen any other Demon Beasts before.

Naturally, there is a certain innate curiosity about other Demon Beast.
