Lu Yang: As Expected of My Most Thoughtful Little Maid

Seeing Qin Nanyue's slightly red eyes and the look of impending tears, Lu Yang's heart softened.

This usually spirited and capable eldest daughter of the Qin Household stood before him, looking utterly dejected, like a little animal whose food had been stolen. Where was her usual dashing and spirited demeanor?

He reached out and ruffled Qin Nanyue's hair, his tone gentle and amused. "What do you mean by first or last? You think you can run away? I won't let you get away."

Qin Nanyue was taken aback by Lu Yang's words.

Lu Yang's words undoubtedly revealed his feelings for her!

A warm feeling of shyness and joy welled up in her heart.

The bitterness and resentment were mostly washed away at that moment, replaced by a sense of peace and sweet reassurance!

However, Qin Nanyue quickly glanced at Mu Yunxue beside her.

After all, Mu Yunxue's relationship with this lecherous man is now much closer than hers.

What I just said was practically stealing someone from their face.

Now that she'd heard what this lecherous man said, she wondered if Senior Sister Mu would have any different thoughts about her.

However, to Qin Nanyue's surprise, even after Lu Yang said those words, Senior Sister Mu's pretty face remained cold and indifferent, and her deep, cold eyes showed no ripples.

She pursed her red lips, but ultimately couldn't suppress her confusion and asked, "Senior Sister Mu, aren't you angry?"

Mu Yunxue glanced at Qin Nanyue, a hint of doubt flashing in her cool eyes. "Why are you angry?"

Qin Nanyue blinked, momentarily stunned.

As a woman, wouldn't you be angry if your lover expressed affection for another woman in front of you?

If it were her, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

That's why she hadn't dared to express her feelings to Lin Ying before.

I always felt that it was overstepping boundaries, that it was intrusion, that it was disrespectful to Yingying.

But now, this Senior Sister Mu is asking her why she's angry, which leaves her momentarily at a loss for words.

Mu Yunxue was indeed very clever, and she quickly understood Qin Nanyue's meaning.

Her beautiful, aloof face remained calm as she said in a nonchalant tone, "This doesn't affect Junior Brother Lu to discuss the Dao with me or accompany me in cultivation."

Qin Nanyue: "..."

She was even more confused.

What does that mean?

As long as this lecherous wolf accompanies you in discussing cultivation, you'll disregard everything else?

This Senior Sister Mu is clearly exceptionally talented and has a cold and aloof personality. Many people in the sect say she is an ethereal fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals. No one expected her to have such a personality.

This was the first time Qin Nanyue had truly understood Mu Yunxue, and she felt that her understanding of her worldview had been completely overturned.

Lu Yang knew much more about this icy senior sister than Qin Nanyue.

Therefore, Lu Yang was not surprised at all by Mu Yunxue's answer.

He even curled his lips slightly, a hint of seduction in his voice, and softly said, "Senior Sister Mu, have you read the second half of 'The Record of Same-Heart Creation'? It seems that cultivating together as a group is more efficient."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxue's cool eyes lit up slightly.

She turned her head thoughtfully and silently sized up Qin Nanyue, her gaze sweeping from Qin Nanyue's slender neck down to her slim waist, as if assessing a potential cultivation partner.

Qin Nanyue: "????"

She felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle from her gaze.

Etc...

What's wrong with Senior Sister Mu's eyes?!

The Record of Same-Heart Creation...

Isn't that the dual Cultivation Method that Yingying mentioned?

Multiple people cultivating together?!

No, this Senior Sister Mu is acting way too strange!

Isn't she a cold and aloof fairy?

How come he completely changes when cultivation is mentioned?!

And that pervert... he's so wicked!

He didn't actually want to cultivate!

He clearly just wanted to satisfy his wicked desires!

Qin Nanyue crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Lu Yang with a disdainful gaze, as if he were a pervert. "You big pervert... don't you dare do anything reckless! Multiple people... multiple people... I won't allow it!"

She spoke with absolute certainty, but her ears were already burning red.

Her shy, surprised, and somewhat timid demeanor revealed a rare touch of naivety compared to her usual sassy and capable manner.

Lu Yang smiled slightly at her stern refusal, his expression remaining calm and composed.

This guy is quite decisive in refusing now; hopefully he'll stick to it like that in the future.

He smiled slightly and nodded, "No problem, you'll be on your own from now on."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxue glanced at Qin Nanyue, who was relieved, and a rare, faint trace of sympathy appeared in her usually cold and indifferent eyes.

This Junior Sister Qin has absolutely no idea how powerful Junior Brother Lu is.

Being alone... isn't so easy.

After these three days, her whole body feels weak.

However, Mu Yunxue was not a talkative person, and since Qin Nanyue refused, she didn't say anything more.

Mu Yunxue looked at Lu Yang and said softly, "Junior Brother Lu, I want to live on this mountain peak of yours."

Lu Yang was taken aback, then smiled slightly, "Of course, even if you didn't say anything, I would have brought it up with you. After all, Senior Sister Mu, you are already my dao companion, so it would be better for you to live with me."

Mu Yunxue nodded slightly, her cool face still expressionless, but the corners of her lips seemed to turn up slightly.

She said softly, "Okay, then I'll go find a cave abode."

Lu Yang said, "I'll have Shiqing accompany you. She's familiar with the layout of this mountain and knows which cave abode is more suitable for you."

At this point, a hint of confusion flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. He looked at Qin Nanyue and asked, "Where's Shiqing?"

Logically speaking, Jiang Shiqing should have been able to notice the approaching Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot.

It's a bit strange that we didn't reach the summit.

Qin Nanyue was flustered by Lu Yang's idea of having so many people cultivate, but she has only calmed down slightly at this moment.

She composed herself, a meaningful smile appearing on her face, "Shiqing has made a friend recently, the Senior Sister Yaoyao who presided over the auction. We met at the auction last time."

Lu Yang's expression froze slightly, and his tone became somewhat strange. "Ah? It's her?"

Lu Yang naturally knew about Liu Yaoyao; he didn't need Qin Nanyue to remind him.

After all, Liu Yaoyao was a beautiful woman.

In fact, not long ago, Liu Yaoyao's favorability rating inexplicably increased, jumping directly to 62 points.

It rose a few points more gradually, and now it's already at 66 points.

He was initially puzzled as to why Liu Yaoyao's favorability rating was inexplicably increasing when he hadn't done anything.

Now, hearing Qin Nanyue's words, he finally understood.

Good heavens... she truly is my most considerate little maid.

Everyone knows to help their young master win over the ladies?

It's no wonder I love you so much!

Lu Yang felt a pang of emotion.

He then smiled slightly, took out his sect token, and sent a telepathic message to Jiang Shiqing.

"Shiqing, I'm back."

Lu Yang had just sent out his message when Jiang Shiqing's reply rang out in the next instant.

The voice was filled with barely suppressed surprise and excitement. "Young Master, I'll be there right away!"

Before the telepathic message could be finished, a streak of light rapidly approached from afar.

In just a few breaths, the light landed on the summit platform. As the light faded, it revealed the figures of Jiang Shiqing and Wang Shiyi.

Clearly, it was Wang Shiyi who brought Jiang Shiqing back.

Wang Shiyi was dressed in a simple blue robe, with an ordinary face and a calm expression. After landing, he consciously took a few steps back and disappeared into the shadow of the pine forest.

As soon as Jiang Shiqing landed, her gaze immediately fell on Lu Yang.

Today she wore a light blue, narrow-sleeved long dress with pale silver water ripple patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem, and a silver-threaded soft armor belt around her waist.

Her long, jet-black hair was loosely tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears, making her bright and elegant face even more beautiful and charming.

But at this moment, her once bright and shimmering eyes were now brimming with tears.

Her eyes reddened, and she ran over quickly, throwing herself into Lu Yang's arms.

"Young Master, Shiqing." Her voice was choked with sobs, her cheek pressed tightly against Lu Yang's chest, as if she wanted to melt her whole being into his embrace.

Having not seen her young master for nearly a month, her longing grew stronger and stronger, to the point that she had to use Water Dao Law Technique several times a day just to cultivate.

Now that I've finally seen them, the longing I've been holding back for so long can no longer be contained.

Lu Yang smiled slightly, gently patted Jiang Shiqing's trembling back, a hint of doting in his eyes, and soothed her gently, "I missed you too. Okay, don't cry."

Jiang Shiqing nestled gently against Lu Yang's chest, tilting her head up to look at him, her watery eyes filled with undisguised love.

She nodded obediently, her voice still slightly nasal. "Mmm."

Just being held in the young master's arms made Jiang Shiqing feel a little lewd.

She was actually planning to take the young master back to his cave abode now so they could cultivate properly and make up for what they had missed these past few days.

But she also saw Qin Nanyue and Mu Yunxue beside her.

She naturally knew Qin Nanyue quite well.

She had only met Mu Yunxue a few times, but seeing how close she and the young master were, their relationship was probably quite special.

She naturally couldn't take the young master away now.

If only these two older sisters had already cultivated with the young master, she could shamelessly drag them both along.

The young master will surely be very happy then.

Jiang Shiqing was quite aware of her young master's lecherous nature.

Lu Yang gently pinched Jiang Shiqing's bright and tender face, and wiped away a trace of tears from the corner of her slightly red eyes with his fingertips.

He chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Mu will also be staying on our mountain peak from now on. You can take her to find a suitable cave abode."

Upon hearing Jiang Shiqing's bright, watery eyes immediately lit up.

This mountain is not a place where just anyone can live.

Only the young master and his dao companion live here!

Since Senior Sister Mu is moving in, it means she belongs to the young master.

Those are our own people!

Her gaze towards Mu Yunxue instantly warmed and became friendly, a genuine smile appearing on her bright face, "Senior Sister Mu, I'll take you to the cave abode. If you need anything, just let me know!"

Mu Yunxue nodded slightly. Her cool and pretty face remained expressionless, but her tone was not distant at all; instead, it carried a polite gentleness. "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Junior Sister Jiang."

The two walked side by side, following the mountain path downhill.

As Jiang Shiqing walked, she pointed out various parts of the mountain with her fingers, enthusiastically introducing the layout of the mountain peak.

Where are the few vacant cave abode? Where is the Spiritual Qi most concentrated? Which medicinal herb field is being tended by Yingying? Which mountain spring has the sweetest water?

Mu Yunxue listened quietly, nodding occasionally. Her clear, cool eyes reflected the mountain scenery shrouded in mist, revealing a rare sense of tranquility.

Only Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue remained at the summit.

The two exchanged a glance, and a faint blush appeared on Qin Nanyue's pretty face. Her bright eyes held both burning desire and a lingering shyness.

She pursed her red lips and whispered, "You big pervert... why don't you want to come and take a look at my and Yingying's cave abode?"

Today, she's going to devour this big pervert!

This incident with Mu Yunxue has served as a wake-up call for her.

If she hesitates any longer, who knows how many other female cultivators will surpass her!

She was the one who arrived first, and this time, she absolutely couldn't let someone else get there first.

Let's give it our all!

Lu Yang looked at Qin Nanyue, who was clearly extremely nervous but was forcing herself to appear calm, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Lu Yang nodded, his tone relaxed and natural. "Okay."

Qin Nanyue's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

She quickly turned around and walked towards the mountain path on the other side of the mountain.

Lu Yang chuckled and followed.

The two figures, one after the other, quickly disappeared into the depths of the mountain path shrouded in spiritual mist.
